7 o'clock on the night of 23, small year night, finish the work of hand, hurriedly eat dinner Qin Guoqing, then start the evening tour rescue. As a rescuer at the Ji'nan rescue station, Qin Guoqing has been used to walking on the streets in cold nights to help those who need help.
8 o'clock at night under the viaduct. The touring salvage car came to Hong Lou square, under the viaduct of road south of Huayuan Road and Erhuan East Road, airing a row of old clothes, and careful Qin Guoqing found a wanderer there.
with the register, Qin Guoqing approached her. She called herself Li Guoxia, 65 years old this year. During the conversation, she said that when her son came back, "my son went looking for food and returned in a few minutes." Although the old man knew that it was a small year, he had to eat dumplings in a small year, but she was not sure whether her little year's dinner was a dumpling. "I have to see what the son can buy today." The money to buy food is to sell the garbage.
although both sides are vehicles and pedestrians coming and going, the elderly have long regarded it as their "home". Their clothes were hung on the roadside fence, and two beds were laid on the ground, and their simple luggage was placed. When he received the help food and cotton clothes that Qin Guoqing handed over, the old man continued to thank him, and always said, "trouble you." But she always did not want to go to the rescue station. "Get used to it, and we will be there when we need it later."
according to Li Guoxia, she has two sons. Her son is married in the northeast. When her eldest son is away from work, he has hurt his foot and has been in trouble. "We used to settle down in the northeast. After that, I was wandering outside with my eldest son because of family conflicts. The little son has no matter what we do. "
although Li Guoxia refused to go to the temporary shelters, Qin Guoqing tried to persuade him, "when the cold can't stand, say to the good people on the side of the road, let them help you to help the rescue hotline."
50 meters from the "open-air home" between Li Guoxia and her mother and son of a mineral drinking bottle with a mineral water bottle, and someone sitting alone near the pier. He called himself Chen, 46 years old this year, a man in Jiyang county. He filled a bottle of liquor with a mineral water bottle, which he spent 3 yuan on the Seven Mile Fort market.
drank a stuffy drink, and Lao Chen told his story. Lao Chen has 3 brothers, he is the second. He had hurt his leg when he was doing odd jobs in Jiyang. The worst time was when he took the waste, the tricycle turned over. "After that, my legs were not working." Three years ago, he came to downtown Ji'nan and lived on trash collection.
Lao Chen slept in a self-service bank last year. "There are air conditioners and few people there. But this year will not be allowed to go. " He has been in this pier for more than 20 days. "The good man gave me a bag of dumplings this evening."
like the mother and son next door, Lao Chen did not want to go to the rescue station. He even refused the aid materials provided by rescuer Qin Guoqing. "It was so cold last year that I survived. I will not go this year." Last year when it was cold, Lao Chen ran back and forth between the pier and the bridge of the viaduct. Because of his congenital tracheitis, he can only run slowly.
when asked whether he would return home this new year, "I didn't go back last year, and I will not go back this year." Last year, a hotel in Hong Lou square took over Lao Chen. "When it was cold, people lived there for two months." Although there are two brothers in Lao Chen's hometown in Jiyang, his hometown has already made him feel lost. "Since my mother died, I haven't had a decent year. If my brother thought of me, he would have come to me. Why should I become so? "
do not go to the rescue station, free to be used to
under the jade letter viaduct near the province body, Qin day finally found a rover that has not been found for a long time in the morning. "I received a rescue hotline in the morning, saying that there was a tramp under the elevated letter, but I couldn't find it for an hour." But Qin Guoqing didn't give up his heart and found it! "Qin National Day shouted," through the transparent street lamp, he found the wanderer in the green belt under the jade letter viaduct.
the tramp sleeps at a vents under the viaduct, covered with two quilts, leaning against the wall, and the right hand on the left palm of the palm. "Where is your home? What's your name?" Qin Guoqing asked three times, but he kept silent.
"what are you comparing?" Qin Guoqing asked again. Then the hobo answered the question without asking. "I was wrapped up in ghosts and could not speak my name. I came from the ancient tomb. " According to him, he used to beg in Shenzhen, went to Fujian, Jiangxi, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and stayed in Henan for a while, then came to Ji'nan.
"I do not go to the rescue station, and I am accustomed to outside." He is very taboo with his name and his hometown. When Qin Guoqing gave his quilt and food, he tried to get his name by collecting the name, but he returned the quilt and food to Qin Guoqing in order to conceal his name and his hometown.
because of the ventilation of the ventilation, Qin Guoqing worried about his cold, after the rescue cotton to him, and after he advised: "I can not stay, we can go to the temporary cold point of our rescue station, there is no need to register." Around 11 p.m., after the rescue, the wanderer ended the evening tour. "We can only persuade them. If you do not want to go, it will be sent to some warm and cold materials. " Qin Guoqing said helplessly. But a lot of times, he will pay regular visits, "help them as much as possible."
according to Qin Guoqing, general itinerant cars will receive public hotlines on the streets. "According to the hotline, we go to the rescue, but we don't receive any rescue hotlines tonight."
