Chapter 389 The Hero in the Vegetable Market
The driver finally came to his senses. He opened the car door, got out, and said to Qi Tongwei with a face full of shame: "Young man, I'm so sorry for arguing with you just now. I'm so grateful to you today, otherwise I would have made a big mistake."
Qi Tongwei smiled and said, "Brother, it's okay. As long as everyone is okay."
Amid the exclamations and gratitude of the crowd, Qi Tongwei became the hero of this vegetable market, and his heroic act was admired by everyone.
Many passers-by also sat on the ground with sore legs, and fear still remained on their faces.
The thrilling scene just now was like a nightmare. Although they are out of danger now, the feeling of fear still lingers on them.
They kept beating their chests, as if this could calm their pounding hearts.
At this moment, someone stepped forward and shook Qi Tongwei's hand tightly, his voice trembling with excitement: "Brother, you really saved everyone's lives! If it weren't for you, this place would be in such a mess today."
Qi Tongwei just smiled faintly and said calmly: "This is what I should do."
After saying this, he turned around without stopping and walked quickly out of the crowd.
The driver got out of the car in panic. He looked around anxiously, wanting to find Qi Tongwei and treat him to a good meal.
His eyes were full of anxiety as he searched the crowd for Qi Tongwei, but there was no trace of Qi Tongwei.
The driver slapped his thigh in annoyance, his heart full of regret.
The incident spread quickly within a small circle.
At that time, someone was recording the incident with a mobile phone.
The person originally wanted to record the bustling scene in the vegetable market, but unexpectedly captured this thrilling and touching scene.
He thought he could clearly capture the face of this life-saving hero so that he could upload the video online and express his gratitude to Qi Tongwei.
However, when he checked the video, he found that the pixels were really poor.
Moreover, Qi Tongwei's movements were so fast that only a blurry figure could be seen rushing past on the phone screen. The series of movements were so fast that his face could not be seen at all.
Despite this, the video was uploaded to the Internet.
As soon as the video was uploaded, it immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
Netizens clicked to watch, and the number of video views climbed at an alarming rate.
The comment section was filled with exclamations of amazement.
"Oh my god, this is so fast! It's just like a superhero in a movie."
"In real life, it's rare to see someone with this kind of ability. What kind of training does it take to achieve this?"
Many people were moved by Qi Tongwei's heroic act and wanted to post articles to thank him online.
They tried to find some clues about Qi Tongwei's identity from the video, but there was nothing except the blurry figure.
They searched for relevant information on various social platforms, but found no information at all.
Some netizens were unwilling to give up. They called in the comment area: "If anyone knows who this hero is, please tell us. We must thank him!"
However, Qi Tongwei is like a mysterious passer-by, his identity is still hidden behind that blurry image, leaving only people's endless admiration for his heroic behavior.
Qi Tongwei walked towards home with brisk steps. Along the way, his mind was full of longing for home and concern for his parents.
However, as he gradually approached the village, the scene before him made him stunned.
He saw from afar that the road near his home had already been repaired.
As I recall, the road used to be bumpy and dilapidated. When it rained, it would be full of mud and it was very difficult to walk on.
But now, a wide and flat cement road extends into the village, and neatly planted trees are on both sides of the road, swaying gently in the breeze, as if welcoming the returning wanderers.
Looking at the entire village, most of the originally dilapidated houses have been renovated.
Many houses have been repainted, and the walls look exceptionally white in the sunlight.
There are also many shops in the village, and the shop signs are colorful and full of vitality.
There are grocery stores, small restaurants, and some small shops selling specialty agricultural products.
Villagers were coming in and out of the shops with happy smiles on their faces, and the whole village was filled with a lively atmosphere.
Qi Tongwei stood there, his heart filled with shock.
He never imagined that the village had undergone such tremendous changes during the time he was away.
Just as he was immersed in shock, a familiar figure came into his sight.
That was the village chief. Time had carved more wrinkles on his face, but his eyes still revealed that simplicity and enthusiasm.
The village chief also saw Qi Tongwei at a glance. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately walked forward excitedly and grabbed Qi Tongwei's hand tightly: "Xiao Qi, you are finally back."
The village chief's voice trembled with excitement, and his hands trembled slightly due to the force.
Qi Tongwei looked at the village chief and couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.
The appearance of the village chief made him feel both surprised and cordial, as if he had found an emotional bond in this strange yet familiar village.
He hurriedly asked: "Village Chief, how are my parents during this period?"
His eyes were full of concern and he was eager to know about his parents' situation.
The village chief immediately smiled happily, and a bright smile bloomed on his wrinkled face.
"Your parents are in very good health recently, so you can rest assured." There was a sense of relief in the village chief's voice.
"You're not home all year round, so there's a lot of farm work to do. But the people in our village are all very kind-hearted. You know Uncle Li next door? He often comes to your fields early in the morning to help plow the soil and sow seeds. He's so dedicated, as if he were working on his own land."
"And Aunt Zhang, she goes to your vegetable garden every now and then to water, fertilize, and weed, taking great care of the vegetables. Every time your parents want to help, they won't let them, saying you're in the army contributing to the country, and they'll help with the little things around the house if they can."
"Everyone knows you're not at home, so they take care of your parents as if they were their own family."
Qi Tongwei was deeply moved when he heard the words of the village chief.
His eyes were moist, and he hurriedly said to the village chief, "Thank you so much for all this time. You've helped our family so much while I was away. I don't know how I can ever repay you all."
The village chief waved his hands and said, "What's the big deal, Xiao Qi? We all know it's not easy for you in the army. You're out there defending our country, you're a real hero."
