Chasing

Wei Yi and Han Jifei went home respectively. After arriving home, Wei Yi told his parents what he and Zhang Xinrui talked about when they met. His father said, "It's good that she left. She's quite self-aware. Why bother?"

His mother said: "This woman really has too many eyes, and she is not a very good person."

And Wei Wenxi, sitting in the back room doing homework, didn't make a sound, probably listening with her ears upright.

At this time, Wei Yi's cell phone rang, and he thought it was Han Jifei calling him, so he answered it.But what he never expected was that the background sound of the phone was the siren of an ambulance, and Han Jifei's voice was also tinged with panic. "Brother Wei, Brother Wei..."

"What's the matter with you?"

"My mother, my mother...she..." Han Jifei seemed to be in a panic, stuttering, unable to speak.

Hearing this, Wei Yi's heart sank, he stood up abruptly, also anxious, and asked Han Jifei, "What's wrong with your mother?"

"As soon as I got home, my mother said that she was uncomfortable. I called an ambulance, but before the car arrived, she was already in a coma. I pinched him for a long time and she didn't respond." Han Jifei sobbed, "My father still I'm on a business trip, so I'm the only one left at home, Brother Wei..."

Wei Yi hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry, your mother will be fine, whichever hospital you go to, I'll go there now."

"No.1 civilian hospital." Han Jifei said. "Brother Wei, I'm scared, what should I do? Will she be okay?"

"No, no, don't worry, she will be fine." Wei Yi also began to speak incoherently, "Don't worry, I'll drive there right away."

Wei Yi didn't finish his comforting words, the phone was cut off suddenly, he didn't care about anything, he grabbed his phone and was about to go out, but his mother grabbed him and asked what's wrong.

Wei Yi said: "Xiao Han's mother doesn't seem to be well. She was taken to the hospital by ambulance. His father is not at home. I'll go over and see if I can help."

"Aren't there any other relatives in his family? Why did he think of you?" Wei Yima asked suspiciously.

Wei Yi couldn't help explaining, and he couldn't say that Han Jifei was chasing him, so he relied on him, and could only say: "Maybe I was in a hurry for a while, and I didn't think about it that much."

Wei Yi also panicked. Whenever someone encounters an emergency, his brain will short-circuit. He drove to the hospital and called Han Jifei, but he didn't answer. After finally asking where he was, he hurried over.At the door of the emergency room, he saw Han Jifei sitting on a chair covering his face, but stopped in his tracks.The child trusts him, likes him, and without any support, he is the first thing he thinks of, and what he can give is a little comfort. He comes and supports him.He walked over and sat next to Han Jifei, and patted Han Jifei's back. Han Jifei looked up at him with red eyes.

"Brother Wei." As he spoke, Han Jifei's tears fell again.

"Did you tell your father?"

"Well, I called, and he is on his way back."

"It'll be fine."

As soon as Wei Yi finished speaking, Han Jifei hugged Wei Yi regardless of the comings and goings, and buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, "No, it's different this time, she's never been like this before. In fact, I've always been very afraid that she would Leave me, I only have her, only she understands me..."

Han Jifei cried until Wei Yi's eyes blurred.Yes, Wei Yi has always been able to understand Han Jifei's situation in his house, and Wei Yi has begun to feel confused.

The rescue was still going on, Han Jifei was tired from crying, and finally raised his head from Wei Yi's arms, rubbing his eyes embarrassedly. "I'm sorry, Brother Wei."

"It's okay." Wei Yi felt wet on his shoulders.

At this moment, a doctor came out from inside, Han Jifei rushed over, and Wei Yi followed.

The doctor said: "It is not life-threatening for the time being, but... But, you should be mentally prepared."

Han Jifei was stunned, like a wooden man standing there.

The person was pushed into the ward, and Han Jifei followed in numbly.Wei Yi was trying to comfort him, but all relatives of Han Jifei's family rushed over and surrounded Han Jifei. Standing here seemed superfluous, and he left without saying goodbye to Han Jifei.

Wei Yi was also in a bad mood. He knew that Han Jifei, who was about to lose his mother, might be even more sad and helpless.

When he got home, his parents and son asked about Han Jifei's situation. Wei Yi said, "The doctor said it's not very good, maybe..." He didn't go on, but everyone should understand.Wei Yi helped his son get dressed, said goodbye to his parents, and took his son home.

It was very late, Wei Yi was about to go to bed, when Han Jifei called again.From the phone, Wei Yi heard that Han Jifei's mood seemed to have stabilized a bit, but his voice was hoarse.

"Brother Wei, I didn't even notice you were gone." Han Jifei said.

"Your family came, and I left. How is your mother?"

"It's okay, my dad is back, just went in to see her, she paid me out, and was chatting with my dad."

"Ah."

"Brother Wei, I may not be able to go to work, I have to ask for a few days off."

"What else do you want to go to work at this time, you take good care of your mother, you don't have to worry about the unit here."

"I see."

Wei Yi didn't know how to comfort Han Jifei anymore. After all, life and death are things that everyone has to go through. After chatting for a few more words, he hung up the phone.

Han Jifei hadn't gone to work for five days. Although Wei Yi didn't go to the hospital again, he would call Han Jifei every day to inquire about the situation.Han Jifei's mood changed with his mother's condition, sometimes he would be a little happier, and sometimes he would be extremely depressed.Wei Yi didn't know what else he could do. He felt that as a colleague, leader, or even a friend, such concern was enough.

But who would have known that the parting between Han Jifei and his mother would come so quickly. ——This is the seventh day after his mother was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment.

Wei Yi was very busy during the day. An old petitioner came and pestered Wei Yi all morning. Before he had time to eat at noon, a mountain fire broke out in a scenic spot in the city. For a while, Wei Yi's WeChat group He and his circle of friends were submerged by the wildfire. He saw clusters of flames spreading along the strong wind. The fire was too fierce and spread too fast. The wind direction was very strange. If one didn't pay attention, it would be easy to catch fire and go to fight. The firefighters didn't dare to go forward at all.The township firefighting team was called to support, and even the armed police and fire officers and soldiers rushed to the scene. All the male cadres of the township government were not allowed to go home and wait in the village. The province even specially sent a guidance team to guide the work. Most of the news came, most of them were that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people were going there. The sky had been shrouded in black smoke, and the whole city was in a state of doomsday.

Until the evening, Wei Yi received the news that they should go up the mountain for rescue. Wei Yi had already changed into the camouflage uniform and followed the car in the village to the scene of the fire.

The closer you get, the stronger the smell of smoke, and all kinds of information spread to everyone's ears.It seems that the dead grass was ignited due to improper welding operation at the foot of the mountain. Although the local government organized a rescue immediately, the wind was too strong and they were too confident in their rescue team. In addition, the pheasants on the mountain were burned everywhere. Flying, the sparks carried by the feathers ignited the whole mountain.The trees on the mountain are dense, but they haven't germinated, and there are piles of dead grass and leaves under the trees. These are good fuels, so the current situation has been formed.

The mountain was very high, and Wei Yi, who had not been exercising, was already out of breath when he went up the mountain.The task assigned to them by the higher authorities is to watch the fire that has been extinguished and prevent it from re-igniting. This is a very important link, especially for people like them who do not have fire fighting tools.

The sky slowly darkened, and the temperature began to drop. Because it was too hot, the surrounding area was filled with the smell of smoke. Smoking was not allowed on this occasion. Wei Yi was so suffocated that he was afraid that his phone would run out of battery, so he didn't dare to speak up. Get a mobile phone, and chat with the people around you to pass the loneliness.

Later, someone brought up some bread, ham sausage and pickled mustard. This was dinner. There was no water, because the firefighters couldn’t deliver it. I heard that a box of 50 yuan water would cost 200 yuan when it was delivered to the top of the mountain. It didn't reach the mouths of the rescuers, but was drunk by the people on the road, and the scene was very chaotic.

He suddenly thought that if Han Jifei was here, he might not be lonely if he was chattering, but Han Jifei was not there.

Thinking about it, Wei Yi's phone rang, and he saw Han Jifei displayed on the screen. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

Han Jifei on the other end of the phone was surprisingly calm. He told Wei Yi: "Brother Wei, my mother left just now." I couldn't think of a word of consolation.

Han Jifei continued: "My dad is not here again. He said there was a fire on the mountain and he had to go over. My mother is in a very good condition today. She drank half a bowl of millet porridge during the day. We all thought my mother was fine, but who knew that at night ...she left, and my dad couldn't get through on the phone at all."

"I was also at the scene of the fire," Wei Yi said.

"Oh."

"Han Jifei."

"Ok?"

"Be brave."

"I see, Brother Wei, thank you. You pay attention to safety, I'm fine."

"I'll go when I go down the mountain."

"Row."

The two of them still hung up the phone calmly, but Wei Yi found that the corners of his eyes were wet, he wiped them with his hands, and even cried.What emerged before his eyes was Han Jifei's lonely figure standing in front of his mother's hospital bed, a beautiful and powerful mother covered by a white cloth.

All hope and dependence of Han Jifei are gone, what should he do?
