Chapter 1740 One Step Away
So Su Jiuyao took off her school uniform jacket, wrapped it around Xiaoba, and then put it in her schoolbag so that the wet Xiaoba would not get her homework and books wet.
Then open the zipper of the backpack halfway so that the minibus can breathe freely.
She went home carrying the heavy schoolbag. She was worried that Xiaoba would run out of the schoolbag on the way, but when she got home she found that Xiaoba had fallen asleep.
She took the minibus back to her room, wiped its body with a clean wet towel, and asked the aunt at home to boil two eggs and heat a cup of milk.
Xiaoba gobbled up the food and became full of energy. From then on, he lived in the Su family.
Su Jiuyao had little presence at home, and Xiaoba was very honest and had little presence either. But after all, there was a new little life that could run and bark, so his mother found Xiaoba the next morning.
The mother complained that Xiaoba was smelly, his paws were dirty, and had damaged her Turkish carpet, so she insisted that Su Jiuyao throw Xiaoba away.
Su Jiuyao held onto Xiaoba tightly and stood there staring at her mother, saying only one word: "No."
The mother and daughter were in a stalemate for a while, and finally the father said to his mother: "Why are you arguing with a dog? As long as it doesn't bark, just leave it alone."
Su Jiuyao didn't like the tone of her father's voice, but he tried to keep Xiaoba after all.
At that moment, she was very grateful to her father.
So, the minibus stayed like this.
From then on, Su Jiuyao felt like she had gained a new friend. Every day when she came home from school, Xiaoba would be squatting at the door waiting for her.
If the fire had not happened, Xiaoba would have been with her until she grew up.
Unfortunately, no one can predict the future...
One month after Xiaoba arrived home, a fire broke out in the Su family. All the members of the Su family were out, and only Su Jiuyao and a maid were at home.
Su Jiuyao was choked by the thick smoke and fell to the ground. Xiaoba bit her finger hard and woke her up. She got up and staggered downstairs, with Xiaoba following at her feet.
As soon as she reached the first floor, she saw thick smoke everywhere and chaos. The minibus screamed as if it was hit by something.
At this time, the fire spread rapidly and was everywhere. She couldn't open her eyes, let alone find the minibus.
She knew that Xiaoba would not be able to escape alive, and hot tears suddenly flowed down her face...
But she couldn't stop and could only continue running towards the door.
Finally she arrived at the front door. She pushed hard on it. The door, which usually opened easily, seemed to be welded shut on this day and could not be opened at all.
I wanted to go to the kitchen and break the window to escape, but the kitchen was already engulfed in flames.
And at some point, her body also caught fire, her hair was on fire, every inch of her skin was burning, even her breath was hot.
Even so, she still had a strong desire to survive, and she pushed the door with all her strength...
But maybe she was just ten years old and still too weak.
Maybe the high temperature caused the door frame to expand and get stuck.
Whatever the possibility, she couldn't escape.
Then, in just a dozen seconds, even her cries were completely swallowed up by the fire.
As she fell, she vaguely heard the sound of a fire truck, but she felt that she could no longer wait for rescue, even though she was only one step away from hope...
Later she was rescued and her injuries gradually healed, but the burning sensation left by the fire seemed to continue to this day. Whenever she thought about it, she still had difficulty breathing and trembled all over.
Regarding Xiaoba, I only heard a brief mention from my younger brother Su Moyu...
