Preface:
In 1987, Xu Yongling had an accident during the test flight, and the luck in misfortune was that he was saved by himself, a small mountain village, a cow herding baby, and a bowl of egg fried rice are scenes that Xu Yongling has never forgotten for many years.
After 30 years, Xu Yongling ate the familiar bowl of egg fried rice again and met the "little thunder" in his mouth again. What is the story between the two?
A bowl of egg fried rice
The two men in the photo hugging and crying are the heroes of today's story, Xu Yongling and Yin Zhenghai. On June 4, 2016, Xu Yongling set off from Beijing for the destination he had missed for 30 years.
Along the way, Xu Yongling was telling reporters about his dangerous encounters and unexpected joys in those years, the 9-hour journey was short and long, the short time seemed to be too late to tell the thoughts in Xu Yongling's heart, and the long time was like Xu Yongling waited for 30 years.
He held the reporter's hand and said: "I found Xiao Lei not only to thank him for saving his life, but also to tell him that the people he saved back then are now considered to have made some contributions to the country, and he did not save me in vain." "So what kind of story is there between the two that makes Xu Yongling think about it for so long?
"Is there anyone?" In a deep mountain in Yunnan, Xu Yongling shouted with difficulty, at this time he had walked in this mountain forest for nearly six hours, everywhere he saw trees, there was no human life, and the sky gradually darkened, all of which made Xu Yongling's heart feel anxious.
The plane crash, he survived, now he is trapped in this deep mountain, Xu Yongling, who rested for a while, continued to walk in one direction regardless of the wounds on his body, and suddenly he heard the cry of a sheep, which made Xu Yongling pick up hope again. He followed the direction of the voice and sure enough saw a little boy, this little boy was Yin Zhenghai, that is, the "little thunder" in Xu Yongling's mouth.
Xu Yongling quickly stepped forward to greet the other party, but unfortunately the two did not understand the language and no one knew what the other party was saying, Xu Yongling, who was in a hurry, pointed to the military uniform and wounds on his body, Xiao Lei looked at him and seemed to understand something and got up and left the place with him.
After an hour and a half of travel, Xiao Lei took him to his home, brought Xu Yongling a bowl of water, and ran out.
At this time, Xu Yongling couldn't care so much, he was thirsty and drank it, and soon Xiao Lei appeared again, still holding a bowl of steaming egg fried rice, just now Xu Yongling thought that Xiao Lei was shy and embarrassed to talk and ran out, it turned out to be cooking for himself.
This bowl of rice made Xu Yongling's heart calm down after experiencing life and death, and this bowl of egg fried rice can be said to be the best egg fried rice he has ever eaten. Xu Yongling, who was slowed down, tried to communicate with Xiao Lei again, he used branches to draw the shape of a house on the ground and an adult next to it, Xiao Lei nodded and ran out with a cigarette.
At this time, Xu Yongling felt the pain of drilling his ankle at the heart, it turned out that he twisted his foot when he landed, and the nerves that had been tight and the high will to survive made him not notice this before, and now he will react after relaxing.
In the sparse place near the night can also meet the sheep baby, Xu Yongling also sighed about the rest of his life, just when he was immersed in his emotions, Xiao Lei returned with a group of adults, these are the villagers in the village, many people have some food in their hands, they put food in Xu Yongling's hands to signal him to eat more.
Xu Yongling was moved by these simple villagers, and Xu Yongling later contacted the troops through the village phone, and three hours later the troops sent someone to pick him up and send him for treatment. Xu Yongling originally wanted to thank Xiao Lei again, but he looked around and didn't see Xiao Lei, so he put the remaining 20 yuan on Xiao Lei's bed to show his gratitude.
Close call
February 19, 1987 will be Xu Yongling's most memorable day, in which he encountered the ups and downs of his life, great joys and sorrows, and two very different emotions mixed together, making Xu Yongling look back many years later as if it happened yesterday.
"360 Kai afterburner." The voice of the headquarters came from the earphones, and Xu Yongling heard that the plane he was piloting after pushing the handle also entered a supersonic flight state, but he soon realized that something was wrong, and the plane of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhu, who was training with him, slowly enlarged from a small black dot and appeared not far away, and the distance between the two planes was quickly narrowed.
At this time, Xu Yongling desperately pulled the joystick to avoid Deputy Commander Zhu who was flying in front, but everything was too late, the plane was in overspeed flight, a little mistake would be infinitely amplified, and the consequences were unimaginable, with a bang, the two planes collided together.
Xu Yongling immediately woke up after a short period of dizziness, he clearly saw white smoke rising from Deputy Commander Zhu's plane, but at this moment he also ignored the situation of Deputy Commander Zhu, Xu Yongling's plane continued to rotate in the air and landed quickly, his body was also impacted on the cover of the cockpit, Xu Yongling struggled to hook the pedal belt with his foot before he could barely fix himself on the seat.
When he came to his senses, he immediately operated the driving stick, but no matter how he operated the plane, there was no reaction at all, Xu Yongling understood that this was a plane failure, and the only way to escape was to parachute. He pulled the handle up hard, and Xu Yongling was ejected with a "bang", and his brain was blank for a moment, and just when he thought he was temporarily unharmed, he found that his parachute did not open at all.
This moment raised his heart to his throat, he forced himself to calm down, thinking that there was a spare switch on the umbrella bag Xu Yongling kept groping, and then pressed the parachute hard and finally successfully opened.
At this time, he looked around looking for the figure of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhu, and a black figure in the distance was landing rapidly, he knew that this was Deputy Commander Zhu, but the other party's parachute did not open, Xu Yongling was anxious but helpless.
A few seconds later, a touch of white appeared in the air, and Xu Yongling was relieved, at least Deputy Commander Zhu's parachute was also opened, and he didn't know what the other party's condition was, so he could only wait for both of them to land on the ground before looking for each other.
But no one expected that the distance between the two was getting farther and farther, and the direction of the final fall was not consistent, and now Xu Yongling became anxious again. After landing, he hid his umbrella bag and left a mark, then got up and walked in the direction of Deputy Commander Zhu, but the road seemed to have no end.
Xu Yongling sat on the ground without a trace of joy for the rest of his life, but kept regretting his mistakes, "360" is the number of Deputy Commander Zhu's plane, and his aircraft number is "300".
Xu Yongling thought that it was because he had heard it wrong that this kind of accident occurred, if something really happened to Deputy Commander Zhu, how should he face everyone and how to face Deputy Commander Zhu's family.
All these consequences made Xu Yongling dare not continue to think deeply, he adjusted his mentality and walked towards the top of the mountain, he wanted to see what he was like now, and see if he could find another way out.
Finally, when he learned that Deputy Regiment Commander Zhu had been found by the troops and sent to the hospital for treatment, Xu Yongling's heart felt a little better, and during his hospitalization, he personally found Deputy Regiment Commander Zhu to admit his mistake and express his guilt.
The risk factor of test pilots is extremely high, some small mistakes and carelessness will bring serious consequences, and each test pilot is using their lives to escort the development of the country. Because he knew this, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhu did not blame Xu Yongling, and for this young good seedling, Deputy Regiment Leader Zhu gave patient encouragement and comfort.
Reunion years later
After being discharged from the army in 2016, Xu Yongling still did not forget the Yi boy who saved his life, he only knew that the village where the little boy was located at that time was called Lei Qiao Village. So for many years, he mistakenly thought that the other party's surname was Lei, and whenever he mentioned the other party, Xu Yongling would always call him "Xiaolei".
At that time, because his training in the army needed to be kept secret, and he immediately returned to the army to participate in training after a short period of cultivation, he was never able to get in touch with Xiao Lei. He didn't know how Xiao Lei was doing now, and he wanted to thank Xiao Lei for saving his life in person.
So Xu Yongling posted a search notice on the Internet: "Without the love of the people, there would be no development in the army today, how I hope to see the child who saved me again, I want to express this backlog in my heart for 30 years in person!" ”
As soon as this news was released, it caused a sensation, and everyone was moved by Xu Yongling's sincere emotions, and spontaneously helped find the "Xiaolei" in his mouth.
The emperor paid off, and in June 2016, Xu Yongling finally met the little boy. And Xiao Lei is actually not surnamed Lei, his name is Yin Zhenghai, and now Yin Zhenghai is already a father and a husband, which is the scene in the photo mentioned at the beginning.
After a short pleasantries, Yin Zhenghai once again made Xu Yongling the same bowl of egg fried rice as back then, this egg fried rice is of extraordinary significance, and Xu Yongling is worth it no matter how long he waits.
