Chapter 3 Saving a Life 1
When we arrived at the police compound to pick up the car, the rain tended to get heavier.Si Qianye found two fluorescent jackets for Zhao Xunyue and Wei Chenping, and Cao Chong and a police officer were about to board the car. At this time, Ma Quanquan ran out of the dormitory in the rain.
"Captain Cheng, Captain!"
He ran to Cheng Xinyuan's side, gasped and said, "I want to go too!"
"It's okay, it's so late." Cheng Xinyuan stood by the car, "Qianye asked the cafeteria to cook, you can go eat and rest."
Ma Quanquan shook his head: "You haven't eaten yet, you have already been called to the police."
Standing beside them, Zhao Xunyue glanced at Cheng Xinyuan.He was so focused on going to the front line that he forgot to eat, and he was really not very hungry.
Seeing Ma Quanquan's kindness, Cheng Xinyuan said happily, "Okay, I appreciate your concern. You go to bed early tonight, and you will be on duty tomorrow morning. The rest of us will be on shift tomorrow morning. Do you understand? This is an order."
He patted Ma Quanquan on the shoulder and told him to go back. At this moment, he saw Si Qianye standing beside Cao Chong's car, and Cao Chong was helping Wei Chenping get some clothes.
"What happen to you guys?"
Cheng Xinyuan yelled, and Si Qianye replied, "Xiao Wei's coat is a bit small, so I can't put it on."
"Tsk..."
Cheng Xinyuan became impatient. On rainy days, the light is dim, and the police will wear fluorescent green jackets when they are on duty, so that pedestrians and drivers can see themselves and ensure the safety of themselves and each other.
He glanced at Zhao Xunyue again, that person had already put on his fluorescent coat, ready to leave quickly.
"Wear mine!"
Ma Quanquan took off his coat and ran over.His eyes were originally small, and his face was covered with rain, but now they were narrowed into a line, and he could hardly open them.In fact, Wei Chenping didn't want to go to the police at all, and just felt that someone was meddling in other people's business, but he saw a young policeman who didn't seem to have grown up rushing up to him, holding his clothes and stuffing them into his hands.Wei Chenping could only accept it in embarrassment, and when he touched the little policeman's hand, he felt a little warmth.
But this bit of warmth couldn't resist Wei Chenping's cold heart. He was hungry, really hungry, hungry and tired.Fortunately, before getting into the car, the vice-captain Si Qianye stuffed him with a few steamed buns in plastic bags, and before the car door closed, the young-looking policeman said to him, "Be careful, come on!"
After taking care of Cao Chong's car, Si Qianye ran to Cheng Xinyuan's side: "Xin Yuan, let me drive!"
"it is good."
Cheng Xinyuan just came back from the police, and he was tired even without eating. Si Qianye kindly took care of him, and Cheng Xinyuan appreciated it.It's just that when Zhao Xunyue opened the rear door, Cheng Xinyuan suddenly said, "You—you are in the co-pilot."
Zhao Xunyue didn't understand why.The three got into the car, and Si Qianye distributed the remaining buns to Cheng Xinyuan and Zhao Xunyue: "You guys eat some, I went to the cafeteria to get them, and I gave them to Xiao Wei."
"Hey, I know you're thoughtful."
Cheng Xinyuan took the buns and gobbled three of them, Zhao Xunyue didn't move, Si Qianye asked, "Are you hungry?"
"good."
Zhao Xunyue kept staring at the front. Si Qianye briefly explained the police situation. From the front view mirror, he saw Cheng Xinyuan in the back row eating and listening. He had no time to talk. After thinking for a while, he said to Zhao Xunyue: "So, Let me tell you about the route we are taking now."
"Ok?"
Si Qianye turned the steering wheel and turned a corner: "It's too dark tonight, and I can't see the surrounding area clearly, but you can get a general impression. How is your driving skills?"
"Good."
The young man was quite confident. Si Qianye smiled and said, "That's good. Our place is no worse than Zuocheng City. There are many small roads, the roads are not well repaired, and the rainy season is long. Driving skills are too important to catch the police when it rains. Wait. The Xiqiao River we will be going to is a river in Linchen County, the road we are taking now is called..."
Si Qianye spoke very slowly and in detail. Zhao Xunyue listened carefully, memorizing quickly in his head, and carefully observing his surroundings.When Si Qianye had finished speaking, Cheng Xinyuan's steamed stuffed buns in the back row were also finished. The two looked at each other in the front-view mirror very tacitly, and Cheng Xinyuan nodded.When the car was approaching the Xiqiao River, Si Qianye stopped talking and concentrated on driving.
Si Qianye and Cheng Xinyuan have worked together for five years, plus the three years they spent in school, the two of them really have a tacit understanding.That day, Si Qianye persuaded Cheng Xinyuan to put his heart into the two newcomers, and Cheng Xinyuan specially asked Zhao Xunyue to "know the way" in the co-pilot. Cheng Xinyuan sometimes has a good mouth, but in fact he is very kind.
When we got to the edge of the Xiqiao River, it rained heavily again. Under the faint street lights by the river, several people surrounded us, including crowds of onlookers, family members of the parties involved, and firefighters.Cheng Xinyuan and his party got out of the car and walked over.
The police case this time was mainly about a 13-year-old boy named Cui Zhi who ran away from home in the rainy night.The reporter was a passer-by who found the little boy wandering by the river and called out to him. As a result, the little boy said he was going to jump into the river, which scared the passerby to report the crime.
The little boy's grandmother came after receiving the notice, but the boy's parents did not arrive.Cheng Xinyuan went to exchange the situation. The boy's grandmother was soaked and her legs limp on the ground in fright.
"Brother, what's the situation?"
Cheng Xinyuan and the other three passed by, Si Qianye knelt down to comfort the grandmother, and the firefighters briefed them on the situation.
"The boy's grandmother said that the boy didn't come home after school in the afternoon, and rushed over after receiving a report. The boy is a single parent. His mother committed suicide, and his father went to work in the city. He only comes back every year during the Spring Festival. We called him but couldn't reach him. There is also a grandfather in the boy's family, and he didn't come here because of his bad legs and feet."
After the fireman briefly introduced the situation, the old lady sitting on the ground held Si Qianye's hand tremblingly and said: "Comrade policeman, comrade policeman! We must save Xiaozhi, he will be fine... Please..."
Si Qianye patted the old woman on the back while comforting her, Zhao Xunyue looked at Cheng Xinyuan and frowned.
"Have you arranged for rescue? What's the situation?" Cheng Xinyuan asked the firefighters.
"Two people are persuading, and one is preparing to launch the device into the water. But the rain has not stopped and the water level is high, so we dare not go down rashly. The best way is to save the child."
Cheng Xinyuan thought for a moment: "Okay. Qianye—" Si Qianye stood up and looked back at him, "You are here to appease the old man, call her family, it is best to contact the child's father. I will go to see the child .”
"no problem."
Just as Cheng Xinyuan was walking towards the river, Zhao Xunyue wanted to grab him and ask, "Where's me?" But Cheng Xinyuan's coat had water on it, and Zhao Xunyue's fingers wiped it off just as soon as it touched the sleeve.Cheng Xinyuan seemed to have a premonition, and called him back: "Follow me!"
Zhao Xunyue always felt that there was a trace of contempt in Cheng Xinyuan's tone of voice to him, as if this was the first time he, a police student, went out to the police on a rainy day, and he couldn't do anything other than "follow" the old policeman.Zhao Xunyue didn't make a sound, and followed Cheng Xinyuan through the puddle.
The two came to the river and saw the back of the boy standing desolately in the rain.Two firefighters stood not far from the boy and shouted. Cheng Xinyuan walked over and said, "Brother, policeman. How is he?"
"Well, I haven't talked much all the time, and I don't know his emotional state."
Zhao Xunyue squinted his eyes to see that the boy was 13 years old, but he was very short, and he was very thin. His small body stood by the river, as if a torrent of water could sweep him away.He was anxious, so he heard Cheng Xinyuan shout:
"Little friend, I'm the police uncle, what happened to you, tell uncle—"
Zhao Xunyue glanced sideways at him immediately, and Cheng Xinyuan actually called himself "Uncle".He just saw Cheng Xinyuan for the first time in the police force. This person was tired and pale from the rain. Zhao Xunyue always felt that he looked young and unreliable. He thought that he might not be a few years older than himself. Unexpectedly, he was outside When encountering a police situation, he even directly called himself so "old".
"You can tell me if you have any difficulties. The police uncle can help you solve various problems. Come here first, okay?" Cheng Xinyuan continued to shout, "Look at the rain, I don't know if it will get bigger later, if What should you do if you are swept away by the wind and rain—your grandma has been worried—you listen to the police uncle and come here, okay?”
Cheng Xinyuan yelled a few words, but the little boy didn't move at all, neither answered nor made any other actions.Cheng Xinyuan took two symbolic steps forward, but unexpectedly the little boy immediately yelled seriously: "If you come over again, I'll jump off!!!"
The boy looked at Cheng Xinyuan and Zhao Xunyue for the first time, and there was a sharp determination in his eyes, Cheng Xinyuan was startled and immediately backed away: "Okay! I won't go..."
Cheng Xinyuan steadied his body and backed away, as if talking to Zhao Xunyue, or to a firefighter: "This kid is not in the right condition..."
The more Zhao Xun wanted to ask "what's wrong", a firefighter immediately understood: "When we came, we didn't panic or yell at all. The key is that we don't speak, and we don't know how to persuade us."
Cheng Xinyuan thought for a moment, roughly calculated the time the little boy stayed by the river, and then said to Zhao Xunyue, "You stay here and watch."
He walked towards Si Qianye.The little boy's grandma was still sitting on the ground sobbing. The fireman took her hand to comfort her and tried to put her in the car behind, which was safe and sheltered from the rain. On the one hand, he is concerned about his grandson, emotionally unstable, and unwilling to leave the river.
Si Qianye left the encirclement where the old man was and made a phone call alone. Cheng Xinyuan walked over and asked anxiously, "Have you found the child's father?"
Si Qianye put his ear to the phone to listen, and said, "I've been calling, but I can't get through. There's no signal. It's probably because of the rain."
Linchen County is located in a remote location, and there are occasional power outages and signal cuts during strong winds and heavy rains.
Cheng Xinyuan said: "There is something wrong with this kid's condition. He doesn't cry and is not in a hurry. He feels very calm. I don't know whether he is pretending or his heart is about to jump. Did you ask him about his school, whether there is school violence or his academic performance has declined. some type of?"
