"Ren Yi, Ren Yi!" Yan Jue and a soldier carried Ren Yu onto the platform car. He buckled his empty call on Ren Yu's mouth and nose.

Ren Yu's eyelids kept falling. He pushed Kong Hu hard and groaned hoarsely in his throat. He forcibly hung the last trace of intelligence and powerlessly grabbed Yan Jue's cuff: "Sun definition... Sun definition..."

Yan Jue looked at the mess on his face and felt heartache: "stop talking."

"Sun... Definition..." Ren's tears ran down his cheeks.

Yan Jue touched Ren Yu's hair. His lips moved, but he couldn't speak. His eyes were red and his heart was very uncomfortable.

The two soldiers also carried the seriously injured father onto the platform. The platform was away from the corridor and the fire as fast as possible, and fell to the ground.

The turbid and cold air injected into Ren Yu's body, followed by a sad cry at the scene. With the cold wind and haze sky full of coking coal smell, people can't breathe.

Ren Ying struggled to get up, but was pushed back to the stretcher. He roared and gave birth to strong anger, and he didn't even know who the anger was aimed at.

Suddenly, a warm, powerful hand held his hand.

Ren Yu was stunned. In his blurred vision, he saw Gong Yingxian's pale and anxious face. He opened his mouth, and all the grievances and pain he had forced burst at this moment. His tears surged out. He vaguely asked for help: "what's the definition of sun? You save him... Ying Xian... You go..."

Gong Yingxian is heartbroken. How does he tell Ren Yu the cruel truth? He could only hold Ren Yu's hand tightly, which he was unwilling to release all his life.

"Get out of the way! Don't surround the wounded!" The first aider pushed aside Gong Yingxian and Yan Jue and put on a respirator for Ren, but Ren suddenly struggled violently and roared silently like a trapped animal.

The paramedic had to give him a tranquilizer.

Ren Yu looked powerlessly at the low sky with doomsday haze overhead and fell into darkness.

Ren Yu had several high-temperature burns and inhaled poisonous gas. He was in a coma in the hospital for nearly three days before he woke up.

Gong Yingxian and Qu Yangbo were watching in the ward. When Ren Yu woke up, both of them were tense and frowned. They were not only worried about Ren Yu's body, but also worried about his mood.

Ren Yu opened his eyes and looked blankly at the snow-white ceiling for a while. Only then did his thinking ability gradually return to his brain. He is no stranger here. He has been in and out of Hongwu hospital several times over the years.

He looked down and looked at the two people at the left and right bedside. The pain on their faces and the stiffness of their bodies puzzled him. Why did they look at him like a great enemy? He's still alive.

Yes, he is still alive, but his brother who fell from a height of more than 20 meters

Holding the last glimmer of hope, he asked Qu Yangbo in a trembling voice: "Sun definition..."

Qu Yangbo's eyes were red and he was about to cry the next second.

Ren Yu heaved a sigh and felt his body empty, as if there was nothing left.

Gong Yingxian wanted to comfort Ren Yu, but he didn't know what to say. The language was too thin and frivolous at this moment. He could only hold Ren Yu's hand and hold it tightly.

"Every time... Every mission." Ren Yu's heart is aching. This kind of grief, anger and self blame can gnaw people into holes, "I swear to take everyone back safely."

"It's not your fault." Qu Yangbo sobbed, "Ren, it's not your fault."

"I'm the squadron leader. I brought them in." Ren Fuhan cried, "it's my fault which one can't come back. How can I... How can I explain to his parents, just such a son... And... His girlfriend... How can I..."

Gong Yingxian took a deep breath and reluctantly said, "platoon leader Sun saved a three-year-old child at the critical moment of life and death. His family will understand his choice. Ren Yu, it's not your fault, it's a crime."

Ren Xuan slowly turned his head, stared at Gong Yingxian and said in a trembling voice, "yes... Arson."

"Arson." Gong Yingxian said coldly, "the evidence has been found at the scene."

Ren Yu held his fist tightly: "is it purple flame, is it purple flame!" "I'm not sure, but it's likely." Gong Yingxian closed his eyes wearily, "Ren Yu, believe me, I will catch the murderer."

Ren Yu excitedly beat the bed board with his fist, and his heart was filled with hatred.

Qu Yangbo pressed Ren Yu's shoulder and said in a dumb voice, "Ren Yu, calm down, you're not lightly hurt. No matter how you blame yourself, you should remember that the most important thing now is that there are a large group of people in the squadron who want to rely on you and rely on you, and sun Qingdi is still waiting for you to avenge him."

Ren Yu bit his lower lip and let tears flow.

"I have to go back to the squadron to deal with affairs. You're well recovered. Come back early." Qu Yangbo wiped away his tears and walked away with his head depressed.

As soon as the door of the ward was closed, Gong Yingxian immediately hugged Ren Yu tightly in his arms: "Ren Yu, I'm here, I'm here."

Looking at Ren Yu's remorse and guilt, Gong Yingxian only felt that his heart was about to be broken. Ren Yu he knew was always as warm and shining as the sun. He could infect everyone around him. He had never been so painful and fragile.

Ren Yi tightly hugged Gong Yingxian, as if this was his life-saving straw. He buried his face in his warm and generous chest and made a dull cry.

Later, Ren Yu learned that the mall fire killed four people, injured more than 30 people and caused direct economic losses of 70 million.

Finally, they saved the father and son. The father was seriously injured and died in the hospital. The child's mother died a few months ago, so the father often took the child to work. Overnight, a three-year-old child had no parents.

In the days when Ren Yu was hospitalized, the soldiers and leaders of the squadron came to see him one after another, but he was always in low spirits.

Gong Yingxian investigates cases during the day, runs to the hospital whenever he is free, and almost lives in the hospital at night. They didn't communicate much. Most of the time, Gong Yingxian accompanied Ren Yu in silence.

After a week in hospital, Ren insisted on leaving the hospital, but no one could stop him.

After leaving the hospital, Ren Yu never dared to see sun's parents. The organization has offered condolences and pensions to them, and the funeral is scheduled for next Monday, the day sun joined the squadron seven years ago.

These days, the atmosphere of the whole squadron is very depressed. The previous frolic and laughter only exist in the memory, and everyone's heart is full of sadness and anger.

That day, taking advantage of the soldiers' morning exercises, Ren Yu entered the cadre dormitory alone and went to sun's bed.

Although they are no longer soldiers after the fire reform, they still maintain the style and habits of soldiers. The quilt on the bed is folded into tofu pieces, and the things on the table are placed neatly without moving anything.

Ren Yu sat on Sun define's bed. Suddenly, it seemed that the door of the dormitory would be pushed open at the next moment. Sun define, who returned from morning exercise, would come while talking and laughing, talk about the ball he saw yesterday, and discuss what to eat at noon. He could even recall every grain on Sun define's face when he laughed.

If only nothing had happened, if only it was a nightmare. With a squeak, the dormitory door was pushed open.

Ren Yi suddenly raised his head, and a ray of light flashed in his eyes, but his eyes dimmed again after he saw the visitor.

Cui Yisheng looked at Ren Yu with some surprise: "Ren team, you..." he saw that Ren Yu was sitting on sun's defined bed, and his eyes changed.

"Why are you back?" Ren Yu asked blandly.

"I'm not feeling well. I asked for leave."

"Have a good rest." Ren Yu stood up to go.

"Ren team." Cui Yisheng bit his teeth and asked hesitantly, "that day... If I went up earlier, would I..."

He was ordered to change his clothes and carry several spare air bottles because he had insufficient air breathing allowance and his rescue clothes were damaged. After he went down, he reported the internal situation to the commander, changed his clothes, took the bottle, returned, and no more than ten minutes before and after. Ren Yu had led the team in.

Would the outcome be different if he had been earlier?

Ren Yu interrupted him, "don't think nonsense. It has nothing to do with you."

Cui Yisheng's eyes were hot: "platoon leader Sun and I were villagers. When I first came, I didn't adapt to the northern climate and coughed for more than a month. He took special care of me."

Ren Yi took a breath and gently bit his lips.

"Team Ren, you said, we want to save others all day. Sometimes, we can't save others. Sometimes, we can't even save our brothers." Cui Yisheng wiped his tears. "Do you remember the boy who was stuck on the windshield and bled alive? He begged us to save him. We all saved him. He was still dead. I often thought, what's the meaning of doing this?"

Ren Xuan looked back and tears lingered in his eyes. He whispered, "we save more people than we can't save. That's the meaning of what we do."

Cui Yisheng shook his head gently, with a deep weakness on his face.

Ren Yi wanted to comfort Cui Yisheng, but found that those words could not even comfort himself, and how to persuade others. He could only pat Cui Yisheng on the shoulder and almost escaped from the dormitory.

But where can he escape? The whole squadron is full of sun's shadow.

This is the first time he has faced the sacrifice of a soldier since he became a squadron captain.

He still remembers that when he was a child, his father sometimes became very painful, depressed and irritable. At that time, there were more potential safety hazards and fewer fire-fighting measures, and the sacrifice rate of firefighters was much higher than now. During his father's decades of service, he faced the departure of his comrades in arms several times. The most serious explosion of Baosheng chemical plant killed four people in his squadron at one time, And this is not even the squadron with the highest sacrifice rate.

How did his father survive?

Can he make it?
