The fire quickly grew into a blazing inferno, and thick smoke poured in through the cracks in the door, choking people so much that they could barely breathe.
"Move to the back, I'll bring a fire extinguisher when I get back!"
Ji Minxiu and Yun Zhourong hid in the innermost part, trying to avoid the thick fog.
However, the fire, fueled by oil, burned too quickly, and soon the air in the room became increasingly scarce, making it difficult for people to breathe.
"It's all my fault, I never expected things to turn out like this..."
Yun Zhourong felt very guilty and anxiously asked, "Why haven't you gone back yet? Why haven't you gone back yet!"
Although she was also afraid of death, she didn't want to implicate Ji Minxiu even more.
She was actually very scared and wanted to pull Ji Minxiu to gain some power, but she didn't dare to touch him because she was afraid of delaying his escape.
"The safety buckle is getting hot. Call me in three minutes!" Fortunately, Ji Minxiu disappeared at that moment.
Back at the villa, Ji Minxiu immediately put on his firefighter uniform, which was left over from his previous fire safety charity work. He brought it to his room just in case.
Having received training, although I couldn't match the speed of professionals, I was still able to get dressed in just over half a minute.
Then he grabbed a fire extinguisher and another set of firefighting gear, and threw the quilt into the bathtub to soak it in water.
Having done all this, he stood in the bathtub, waiting for Yun Zhourong's summons.
He planned to bring the bathtub with him, thinking it might come in handy later.
He stared intently at his watch, but almost four minutes had passed and Yun Zhourong still hadn't summoned him.
A bad feeling arose in Ji Minxiu's heart.
Under such an urgent situation, Yun Zhourong would not be able to delay; the only possibility is that something must have happened over there!
Yes, as soon as Ji Minxiu left, the corner where Yun Zhourong was hiding also started to catch fire.
It turned out that the old woman thought the fire was burning too slowly, so she ran to the back, poured more oil, and set it on fire.
Now, Yun Zhourong had nowhere to hide and could only stand in the middle.
But as soon as I got there, I felt short of breath, dizzy, and collapsed to the ground.
She still had a chance to summon Ji Minxiu at this moment, but she was worried that he was not ready and that coming over would only harm him, so she tried hard to look at her watch.
But it was this delay that caused him to lose track of time, his consciousness to become blurred, and he eventually passed out completely.
The fire grew larger and larger, the roof beams swayed precariously, and the entire house looked like it was about to collapse.
"Let me through...please...take me through!"
Inside the villa, Ji Minxiu held the peace amulet and prayed incessantly. Sweat dripped from his forehead. For the first time, the usually calm and composed man lost his composure.
"Bang..."
Time passed second by second. After an unknown amount of time, the peace buckle emitted bursts of red light. Ji Minxiu smelled something like burning paper, and even wisps of ash floated in the air.
"Whoosh..."
Then, he appeared right next to Yun Zhourong.
"Cloud Boat Appearance!"
The moment Ji Minxiu saw Yun Zhourong again, he almost cried tears of joy, his eyes reddening.
They immediately rushed over and put a fire helmet on her head to prevent her from inhaling more carbon monoxide.
"Click click click..."
Just as he was about to put the fire suit on Yun Zhourong, he saw the wooden beams on the roof begin to loosen and fall, and it looked like it was about to collapse.
He immediately looked at the bathtub, forcefully turned it over, wrapped Yun Zhourong in a wet quilt, and hid inside.
"Rumble..."
The next second, the entire house collapsed with a crash.
"Hahaha, he's dead... my son has a wife now~"
The old woman, who had failed to commit suicide and was being held captive by the villagers, saw the current situation and immediately began clapping and cheering wildly.
"The Cloud Healer... is gone..."
Looking at the collapsed houses, the people who were fighting the fire all showed expressions of grief.
The villagers were deeply grateful for her kindness in helping them get vaccinated against smallpox, and they were truly heartbroken at that moment.
Then, glaring angrily at the old woman, he said, "How can you still laugh? You're absolutely despicable!"
"Splash..."
Just then, they suddenly saw movement coming from the ruins, and a fiery red monster emerged from the ruins carrying something.
"This...this is a fire demon!"
Upon seeing this, the people screamed in terror and turned to run away.
Some ran home, while others went to the post station for help, worried that the fire monster would harm people.
Ji Minxiu ignored the people's reactions, put Yun Zhourong on the ground, and took off her helmet to check the situation.
Only then did he realize that she had stopped breathing. This realization filled Ji Minxiu with an unprecedented panic, and his hands began to tremble slightly.
However, without any hesitation, he immediately began CPR on Yun Zhourong.
Chest compressions combined with artificial respiration.
However, despite the ongoing CPR, Yun Zhourong showed no signs of waking up.
He grew increasingly anxious, but his hands dared not stop moving for a moment, continuing to operate steadily.
At this moment, Ji Minxiu was completely absorbed in the rescue and did not feel the passage of time at all. He only felt that time was passing very slowly and kept thinking about why Yun Zhourong had not woken up yet.
"Cough cough cough..."
Three minutes later, Yun Zhourong finally coughed lightly and resumed breathing on her own.
"Very good…"
Upon seeing this, Ji Minxiu's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and with a blink of his peach blossom eyes, the tears fell onto Yun Zhourong's face.
"Snow... Fairy..."
Yun Zhourong calmed down a little, only to feel a cold sensation on her face.
I wanted to speak, but I felt extremely tired. I only managed to say one sentence before closing my eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Ji Minxiu was startled and quickly checked her breathing. He was relieved to find that she had just fallen asleep and reached out to wipe the corner of her eye.
