Long Ao Marvel

Chapter 11 Beauty and Hero

Today is the weekend. Tang Huaien carried a large bag of fruit and walked lightly on the way to the breakfast shop. He didn't go there to have breakfast, but to meet someone, Ma Li.

Ma Li is a widow. Her husband died of illness a few years ago. She has been living by running a breakfast shop for so many years, raising her daughter by herself. Ever since Tang Huaien rescued her daughter from the fire, the two have known each other, Tang Huaien.

In order to thank Ma Li for pulling out the wood thorns all over his body, he would bring fruits and daily necessities to see the two of them every weekend when he had nothing to do.

Because the weather is getting colder, no one wants to get up to make breakfast, so the business of the breakfast shop is particularly good. It is almost noon and there are still many customers. Ma Li has to order wonton noodles and deep-fried buns and fried dough sticks by herself, even if there are

Even though his daughter was busy helping, he was still sweating. Upon seeing this, Tang Huai'en rushed forward, took the spoon from his daughter Xiaomi's hand, skillfully scooped up a bowl of tofu, sprinkled it with icing sugar and handed it to the waiting diners.

"Uncle Tang, you're here!" Seeing that she was very familiar with Tang Huaien, her savior, Xiaomi greeted her sweetly.

Tang Huaien nodded and said to the little girl: "Xiaomi, be good, go help your mother, I'll be here."

Xiaomi responded obediently and jumped away.

Ma Li turned around and saw Tang Huaien, and smiled at him. Tang Huaien also smiled, and neither of them spoke.

"Officer Tang is here!"

"Good morning."

The diners in the store are all nearby residents. They often see this firefighter comrade coming to help. They all know each other and greet him cordially. Tang Huaien also smiles and chats with them. Although he can speak Mandarin well,

It's not very standard, but it's not formal. For a while, the store was filled with laughter and the scene was very harmonious.

After working for more than an hour, it was almost noon when the last customer left with satisfaction. Ma Li went to the back room to wipe her face, clean up a little, and then came out to pour Tang Huaien a cup of hot tea.

Tang Huaien took the cup and thanked him.

Since joining the fire brigade, he hangs out with the group of young people every day. His personality is much more cheerful than before, and his behavior, habits and thinking are becoming more and more like humans. Although his mutant abilities have been banned, he is now just a human.

Ordinary people, but compared to before, Tang Huaien was happier. He was glad that he was no longer an ugly toad.

Of course, part of the reason why he is happy is because of Ma Li. She is a very good woman. She raised her daughter by herself and opened this breakfast shop. She is kind, hard-working, and very beautiful. Tang Huaien doesn’t know why.

, always want to come here, want to see her, every time he thinks of her, his heart beats very fast. It’s just that he has always been like this in the past few decades, with no social experience, and his ability to communicate with others is even worse.

His shortcomings are so great that he can still chat with his comrades in the squadron for a few words, but now when he is alone with Ma Li, he can really speak half a sentence fluently.

He was anxious and couldn't express himself, so he had to push the oranges he brought in front of her and stammered: "Eat...eat the oranges, I just bought them." Seeing Ma Li sitting there with a smile and not speaking, just holding the oranges.

A pair of bright eyes looked at him, and he was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands.

At this time, Xiaomi came in from outside and broke the delicate awkward situation between the two. Tang Huai'en, as if he had been pardoned, took this opportunity to say goodbye and leave.

Tang Huaien left the store and walked towards the squadron. As he walked, he hammered himself in annoyance. He was secretly annoyed that he was useless. Before he walked far, he heard Xiaomi calling him from behind. When Tang Huaien looked back, he saw that the little girl was already jumping up and down.

When he reached his side, he looked at him with a pair of pure and flawless eyes.

"Uncle Tang." she asked, "do you like my mother?"

Tang Huaien's thoughts were revealed, and his face immediately turned red, he was hesitant and speechless.

Xiaomi's tone was like a little adult: "I can see it even at the age of 6. My mother must have known it for a long time, but why didn't you tell her?"

"But... I don't think I'm worthy of your mother. You are both good people."

Xiaomi took Tang Huaien's hand, with a serious look in her eyes: "You are also a good person, uncle. Do you know, you are a great hero in my mind!"

Hero, this title that he was destined to never get, was now spoken from the mouth of an innocent little girl. Tang Huaien felt a little emotional and patted Xiaomi's head gently.

Xiaomi wrinkled her little nose cutely, and then said: "Uncle Tang, let me tell you a secret, tomorrow is my mother's birthday, you must come and spend it with us...Mom, she works too hard, if you really like it

Her, don't keep her waiting too long."

Looking at Xiaomi's back, Tang Huaien clenched his fists.

The next day he got up early, picked out his best clothes, combed his hair carefully, and went to a nearby cake shop to buy a large birthday cake. He decided that today

Tell Ma Li what’s in your heart!

He hailed a taxi at the gate of the squadron, but as soon as he opened the door, he heard the piercing siren coming from the compound, and a few minutes later the fire truck drove out of the garage at high speed.

Tang Huaien didn't even care about the taxi. He rushed forward and stopped the first car.

Firefighter Ning Yu was sitting in the passenger seat. When he saw Tang Huaien asking, he explained the situation. It was a fire in a residential building in a community. It seemed to be quite serious. A lot of manpower was needed. The whole squadron was dispatched. Tang Huaien immediately called out the fire.

The cake was handed over to the security guard at the gate, and they were ready to get on the fire truck and put out the fire together.

Ning Yu tried to dissuade him: "Aren't you going to meet your partner? Don't follow him this time. It's okay. We are here."

"That won't work. The whole squadron has gone and I'm the only one left. What the hell." Tang Huaien disagreed. "The building is on fire. It will be handled promptly and quickly. Don't delay me. It will be a big deal if it's not handled well. Go quickly, don't be wordy.

Already."

Ning Yu thought it was right and let him get in the car.

The fire truck roared into the community. Everyone found that the fire situation had changed again. They didn't know what was ignited in the house. The flames were even bigger. Even downstairs, they could see the smoke coming out of the windows on the 13th floor.

Open fire. Squadron leader Zhang Hao immediately deployed combat tasks after preliminary investigation: first evacuate the residents in the building, and the combatants went to the upper floor of the 13th floor where the fire broke out to search and evacuate the residents floor by floor; the attack personnel used indoor fire hydrants to fire water cannons to demolish the room where the fire broke out.

Security door, enter the room to put out the fire.

When they learned that there was a fire on the 13th floor, the residents of this residential building began to evacuate quickly. Three firefighters, including Tang Huaien and Ning Yu, knocked on the door one by one to ensure that no one was left at home.

By the time they finally reached the top floor and made sure there was no more stranded residents upstairs, their physical strength was completely exhausted and they were so tired that they sat on the stairs and refused to move.

Ning Yu looked at Tang Huaien and asked breathlessly: "Brother Tang, what did you do before? Why are you in such good health!"

"Me? A homeless person."

"Stop talking nonsense. What kind of homeless person are you? Judging from your physical fitness, you must have been a mercenary when you were young!" Another firefighter obviously didn't believe it.

Tang Huaien looked at them, recalling the sad past of his youth, shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm telling you, life is just a joke. I thought we could all be good people and be loved by everyone. But God doesn't want us to be like this.

He will trample us under his feet like a carpet. You are still young, but when you are my age, you will understand what I say."

Ning Yu was only 19 years old, and young people don’t know what it’s like to be sad. He didn’t expect that Tang Huaien would express such a heavy emotion. He didn’t know how to respond like this. After a while, he said awkwardly: “Haha... I didn’t expect that Brother Tang still believes in Christianity.”

Woolen cloth..."

"Humph, I don't believe anyone now, I only believe in myself." Tang Huaien replied calmly. He listened to the movement downstairs and then said: "Go down, they are preparing to break down the door."

A dozen firefighters are guarding the stairwell outside the door of the fire room, and they are now preparing to use external force to open the door. After a fire breaks out indoors, the temperature of the room will rise sharply, and the air pressure will also rise sharply. If the outside is suddenly opened at this time,

When the door is opened, the heat convection with the air will increase significantly. Then, affected by ventilation conditions, room size and other factors, it may cause the entire surface of the combustible material to be involved in the burning state. In fire protection terms, it is called "flashover". Flashover

The danger is extremely high, and many firefighters have been injured or even died as a result. Therefore, it is absolutely forbidden to break in directly when fighting a fire.

Firefighter Yang Kezhang first touched the security door with his hand and found that the temperature of the iron door was not very high, indicating that the fire source was not very close to the door. He felt a little more relaxed. Then he tried to push the door, but the fire inside

The air pressure was too high and it couldn't be pushed at all. I had no choice but to use a fire ax to break the door. But as soon as the ax went down, I felt something was wrong. Something exploded in the room, and the pressure suddenly increased. Now there is this thing on the door.

The crack served as a breakthrough, and the flames rushed in crazily.

"Not good! It's a flashover! Attention everyone -" Yang Kezhang only had time to shout out one sentence. The thick security door suddenly exploded, and a large amount of high-temperature hot air and thick smoke accompanied by flying metal fragments were blown into the fire wind.

Under the pressure, the officers and soldiers rushed into the narrow corridor and elevator front room in an instant. The aluminum alloy windows in the stairwell were shattered. Liu Jie, who was standing closest to the window, had no time to shout and was directly swept out by the strong air flow.

"Liu Jie!" Qian Lingyun, who was standing next to him, shouted and reached out to grab him, but he didn't want to be taken out of the window under the combined force of the pull on his hand and the push from behind.

There is a concrete road below the building. Falling from the 13th floor will definitely lead to death. Just when Qian Lingyun closed his eyes and waited for death, he felt his trouser leg being pulled by someone. He looked up and saw Tang Huaien's whole body.

He had already reached out of the window, and only his two feet were still holding on to the window frame.

People on the corridor ran up quickly

He wanted to save it, but unexpectedly, the aluminum alloy had limited load-bearing capacity. Under the tug of three big men and dozens of kilograms of equipment each, it suddenly broke. Tang Huaien's feet slipped and he fell down the stairs.

Amid the screams of everyone upstairs and downstairs, Tang Huaien struggled to grab the protrusion between the eighth and seventh floors, stopping the falling trend. The three people were in a string, Tang Huaien grabbed Qian Lingyun's feet, Qian Lingyun

Ling Yun grabbed Liu Jie's hand, and the three of them hung in the air. The broken window fell from above, and Tang Huaien bore the brunt. He could have avoided it, but the two comrades below suffered disaster, so they had to grit their teeth and fight.

, the heavy metal window frame hit his head, and the sharp broken glass scratched his exposed skin. Blood dripped down and sprinkled on Qian Lingyun and Liu Jie's bodies.

Qian Lingyun shouted: "Lao Tang, let me go! This way you can still live, otherwise we will all die!"

Liu Jie was also shouting: "Ling Yun, let go, Lao Tang can save someone!"

"Shut up! I won't let you go!" Qian Lingyun cursed downwards.

"You... all shut up!" Tang Huaien's eyes turned red due to excessive exertion. He gritted his teeth and yelled at the two of them, "Hold on tight, no one will die."

The muscle fibers in his arms must have been broken, and the nails dug into the wall were turned up several times. Tang Huaien's head and face were covered with blood. He endured tremendous pain, and every second was torture.

Finally, they waited for rescue. The team members ran to the window on the seventh floor and caught Liu Jie. Tang Huaien took Qian Lingyun and swung it in an arc, and also delivered it to the team member who leaned out of the window. The heavy burden in his heart fell to the ground.

, everything went dark immediately before his eyes, he softly let go of the wall, and fell towards the ground.

Captain Zhang Hao, with quick eyesight and quick hands, grabbed him, and several people pulled the unconscious Tang Huai'en into the window with all kinds of tricks. Finally, they were safe.

...

When Tang Huaien woke up, he was lying on the hospital bed, with his entire right arm in a plaster hanging on his chest. He sat up with difficulty, but woke up the person sleeping next to him. Ma Li sat up with concern.

He asked Tang Huaien how he was and whether he felt uncomfortable anywhere. Tang Huaien did not expect that it would be Ma Li taking care of him. His mind was in a mess for a moment, with countless thoughts running in his heart. Thousands of words came to his lips, but only hers remained.

name.

"Mary..."

Ma Li burst into tears and said angrily: "Why do you have to show off every time? Do you know that you almost died this time? Xiaomi's father left a few years ago, and now you have to leave too, right?"

Tang Huaien was not a fool. Hearing Ma Li's words that clearly showed her feelings, he was very moved. He finally mustered up the courage to say, "I'm sorry Ma Li, I...I will never leave!"

Ma Li turned her head and said, "Anyway, you just don't take us orphans and widows seriously."

"No, no, I will pay attention to safety in the future and won't worry you anymore."

"Tch, who needs to worry about you?" Ma Li spat, her face turning a little red. She glanced at Tang Huaien and said softly, "Why, aren't you ready to say it?"

"I said...I...that..." Tang Huaien became more and more anxious and speechless, wishing to slap himself twice.

Seeing his blushing face and tongue-tied embarrassment, Ma Li felt angry and amused. She stretched out her hand to hold his hand and said softly: "Okay, I've known your thoughts for a long time. I just ask you not to let me down in the future.

"

"I..." A huge sense of happiness filled Tang Huaien's heart, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He felt more and more that his life in the past few decades was really worse than a dog. Although life now is harder, he felt at ease.

This is how people live!

Ma Li took good care of her, and with the nourishment of love, Tang Huaien's body recovered quickly. In a blink of an eye, it was time to be discharged from the hospital. Accompanied by Ma Li and Xiaomi, he returned to the squadron that day.

As soon as he stepped into the squadron compound, he heard two "bang bang" salutes, paper flowers scattered all over them, and then loud applause came from the compound. I don't know when all the firefighters arrived.

, everyone was applauding vigorously, with happy smiles on their faces. A banner was spread out supported by two bamboo poles, with the words "Warmly welcome hero Tang Huai'en to return to the team". Qian Lingyun and Liu Jie were two young people.

People ran over in a very stupid manner and took the large and small bags of items from Ma Li and others.

"salute--!"

Squadron leader Zhang Hao shouted loudly, and all the firefighters uniformly raised their right hands and saluted Tang Huaien.

Tang Huai'en tremblingly raised his right hand that was not fully healed yet. He put his fingers together with difficulty and raised it to his temple. He gave a standard military salute to his comrades. Ma Li stood beside him, looking at her man proudly and laughing.

Tears.

With his comrades in front of him and his lover by his side, damn, this is how people live! Tang Huaien thought to himself.
