Rebirth 84, starting from fish farming

Chapter 146: Saving people is not just for merit
Bac Ninh Municipal Bureau Auditorium.

The red flag was fluttering in the auditorium, and a banner on the rostrum had an exciting content: "Commendation Conference for Fighting the Xing'anling Extraordinary Fire"

Live music blared.

Groups of uniformed police officers came in and took their seats in order.

Everyone who entered the venue was seated.

The city's main leaders took to the podium.

There was warm applause from the audience.

First, the leader gave a speech, and then got to the point.

"The following will announce the list of those who have been honored with first-class merit..."

The award winners came on stage one after another.

There was thunderous applause below.

"Third-class merit...Wang Yao..."

In a corner under the stage, Wang Yao stood up in uniform.

Colleagues around him applauded.

Wang Yao walked to the rostrum.

The thrilling battle a few months ago was still fresh in her memory.

They were organized on May [-] and went to the front line of the Xing'anling fire scene.

The task was urgent at that time. The Municipal Bureau received the order and quickly formed a fire-fighting team to head to the front line.

Wang Yao has good physical fitness and has become one of them.

They rushed to the scene of the fire that night.

According to the unified deployment of the headquarters, we followed the troops to excavate the isolation zone.

But it went too fast, and it was too late.

Wang Yao moved along with the large army.

As a city girl, after a few days of hard work, my physical strength was severely exhausted.

When they evacuated to a forest farm, there were still dozens of families who had not had time to evacuate.

The mission is urgent. Should we stop and help the people evacuate, or should we go first?

Seeing the panic on the faces of the people, the captain of the Beining Municipal Fire Fighting Team decided to run away with the people.

The fire outside was getting closer.

Many forest farm workers also carried chickens on their backs, drove pigs, and carried TV sets on their way.

You have to stop and rest after walking a few miles.

"Comrades and fellow villagers, you can't take these things with you now. It's important to save your life. As long as we are alive, there is hope! If we miss the opportunity to escape for these things, it is not worth it!"

The sky was filled with black smoke and ash was floating in the air.

All the comrades were shouting, and some even helped the common people carry their children.

Wang Yao's voice was hoarse, but she still persisted, urging her to run quickly.

"Run, run, there is an isolation zone ahead. You will be saved when you reach the isolation zone!"

After running with the people for a long time, I finally saw the isolation belt in front.

People's Liberation Army soldiers and ordinary people were cutting down trees and digging soil.

A red light shot into the sky in the distance.

Everyone finally escorted these people over.

"Son, son! Xiaohua, Xiaohua."

A woman suddenly exclaimed.

The police officers, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, felt anxious again.

"what happened?"

"Child, my child is lost!"

"Ah? When did you find out?"

"Just now, son!"

The woman cried heartbreakingly.

All the police officers were silent.

You know, they managed to escape with great difficulty. Going back now is tantamount to seeking death!

The captain's fists were clenched and then clenched, then clenched and clenched.

He knew that it would be dangerous for anyone to look for the child now, and he might not be able to come back.

But if he doesn't go looking for it, the veteran will feel uncomfortable.

He was just about to go in for search and rescue by himself, when suddenly a voice remembered him.

"Captain, let me go."

"Wang Yao? You lesbian, what are you messing with!"

The captain yelled angrily.

"No, we need you more here. I am flexible and fast. I will pay attention to safety."

The isolation zone needs strong people like them to dig the isolation zone. One more person means more strength.

The captain saw that his teammates were already cutting the tree with a chain saw.

"Captain, stop inking, the isolation belt is more important!"

The captain gritted his teeth and handed the flashlight to her.

At this time, the distant fire reflected the night sky red.

The captain tied the wet towel on Wang Yao's face.

"Go back quickly."

Wang Yao said nothing, nodded, and rushed into the darkness like a warrior.

In May in Xing'anling, it is still very cold at night.

But Wang Yao was already sweating profusely.

She turned on the flashlight and ran along the path she took in her memory, calling "Xiaohua" as she ran.

In the darkness, she fell down several times and got up several times.

The flashlight was thrown far away, and her knees and hands were bloody.

There were waves of scorching heat in the distance.

On the wind came the rumble of burning fire.

This doomsday scene was before her eyes.

Fear also rose in Wang Yao's heart.She's just a girl who just turned 24!

She knew that if she continued to move forward, she would be heading towards the abyss. As long as she turned around and went back, there would be hope of living.

But she thought of the lost child, the mother's cry, and the captain's instructions.

Her strong will as a police officer allowed her to move forward resolutely in her search.

"Xiaohua, Xiaohua~"

Just when the towel on her face was dried by the scorching heat and she was exhausted, she heard the child's cry.

When she found him quickly, the five- or six-year-old boy was huddled in a ball, shivering, and shouting for help.

Wang Yao picked up the child and ran away.

But due to excessive tension, the child's hands and feet had spasms.

There was no way to walk at all.

Wang Yao gritted her teeth and carried him on her back, and ran back the way she came.

It's better to say moving than running.

Wang Yao's physical strength could no longer support her walking too far.

She found a wooden stick to lean on and moved back step by step.

Her strong desire to survive kept her going.

She thought of the brave boy back then.

I thought of the man lying in a pool of blood.

I thought of his tenacity to overcome all kinds of difficulties for his ideal.

Changhua, if you can do it, so can I!
Wang Yao did not expect that in her last moments, she would actually think of Lu Changhua.

That simple and unpretentious young man.

Wang Yao carried Xiaohua on her back and moved a few hundred meters away. She couldn't hold on anymore, and they fell into the grass together.

She knew there was no hope for her to return to the quarantine zone.

"Xiaohua, just walk away, leave me alone, run, run..."

She used her last strength to urge the child to escape.

The child who fell in the darkness crawled back and held her hand tightly.

"Sister, sister, don't leave me, don't leave me! Wuwuwu~"

The child's crying and pleading gave her a little strength again.

She trudged on with her children, unable to do anything more.

When she fell, she imagined that the person holding her hand was Lu Changhua.

The darkness is extremely long, like an endless reincarnation, causing you to collide in a small space over and over again.

When Wang Yao woke up again, she had been sent to Beining City No. 1 Civil Hospital.

It took several days before she met her best friend Wu Xia.

Only then did she know that after the captain arranged for the people, he ran back to look for her. It was the captain who saved her.

If the child hadn't been crying, he wouldn't have been able to find them.

Wang Yaoyong's deeds in saving children lost at the fire site earned her a third-class personal merit award!

She lay in the hospital for several days and gradually recovered.

In June, Lu Changhua invited her to attend a friend's opening event, and she was very happy.

At this time, Wang Yao's mentality changed a lot.

After passing the test of life and death, she felt that she had grown up.

Wang Yao took solid steps and stepped onto the podium.

The city leaders personally gave her the medal.

She stood next to the leader holding the award certificate.

There were reporters snapping photos.

The applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic.

The men in the city bureau all looked at Wang Yao with admiration.

You know, Wang Yao is a good girl.

She was transferred to the tertiary industry and basically left the business.

Many people already regard her as a business person.

Who would have imagined that at the critical moment, such a weak girl would have the courage to return to the scene of fire to save a lost child.

Ask yourself, do you dare to go?

Many people will hesitate.

But it was this beautiful girl who went without hesitation and successfully rescued the child.

She deserves this third-class merit!We are convinced!

On June [-], the Military Commission issued a commendation order to the fire-fighting troops.

The local police support was postponed until after National Day.

Wang Yao wears a red ribbon with the words "Personal Third Class Merit" written on it.

She saluted the leaders and the comrades in the audience, and walked down the podium with her head held high.

The city leaders looked at her heroic appearance and nodded secretly.

This girl is really nice. I wonder if she has a partner?
On the Beining Daily the next day, photos of heroes and models were on the headlines of the front page.

Wu Xia fiddled with the medal and clicked her tongue.

"Tsk tsk tsk, great hero, you finally deserve your title now. Hey, what do you think that fool would think if he knew about it?"

"Don't talk about it, let's work hard."

"Hey, let me tell you, several young men came to me to inquire about you. What should I say?"

"Just say that I have a partner."

"Are you stupid? People may not know that you like him until now. You should tell him!"

"What are you talking about? I'm three years older than him."

"What are you afraid of at the age of three? There are others six years older."

Wu Xia muttered and complained for her.

"You are not young anymore. If you don't get married, you will be an old girl."

"What about you? Has the wedding date been set?"

"It's decided, we'll get married during the Spring Festival."
