Chapter 477: Fire Fighting
Jiang Chengfeng and his four roommates brought a wooden table from the house and moved it to the side of the wall. Roommate B was the tallest, so he stepped on the table and stood on tiptoe, allowing his line of sight to just look over the wall and see what was happening in the other yard.
"It looks like there's a house on fire inside." He put his hands on the wall and tried to raise himself up. "It's all smoke and a little flame. I can't see clearly if there's anyone there."
At this point, he shouted, "Fire, fire, fire, is there anyone?"
No one answered.
A gust of wind blew over, blowing the smoke this way, choking roommate B. He coughed for a long time. Jiang Chengfeng said worriedly, "Come down quickly, the wind is coming towards us. It's too dangerous."
After roommate B came down, he said to everyone, "We have to go put out the fire. The fire isn't that big right now, but if it continues, it will definitely burn to our side."
At this time, Liang Shengnan and the boys from the Classical Literature Department had already taken all the fire extinguishers to the middle of the yard. They found a total of 21 fire extinguishers. Liang Shengnan asked everyone, "You all know how to use a fire extinguisher, right? We learn it in every school fire drill."
Everyone nodded.
Li Xiaoru was worried, "We just stood aside and watched the fire drill, but we never actually did it!"
...
...
"It's okay, you guys go in the back and help the boys get the fire extinguisher."
Although Liang Shengnan is a feminist and believes that women are inferior to men in every way, she can fight together with the boys at this critical moment, but she cannot let other girls take risks.
The fire was urgent and there was no time to waste. Ten boys picked up the fire extinguishers and ran outside. They were still wearing "performance props" and their skirts and embroidered shoes were very troublesome. Some of them held the fire extinguisher in one hand and lifted their skirts with the other. Some of them ran away in such a hurry that they lost their shoes.
The girls were carrying fire extinguishers and trailing behind, while Tao Zhiyao followed them with a camera. After the filming was over, she did not turn off the camera. She originally wanted to take some interesting behind-the-scenes footage without telling anyone, but she did not expect that it would now serve as a record of the event.
Next door is also a building with a Ming and Qing courtyard structure. Judging from the length of the wall, it can be estimated that its area is about twice as large as the Ming Dynasty courtyard they rented.
The gate of the yard was closed and locked. Jiang Chengfeng and his roommate banged on the door several times before they finally opened it. At this time, the girls also caught up with them.
A boy turned around and said to them, "Follow us and don't run around."
The boys who were laughing and playing just now became extremely serious at this moment. After saying this, they ran towards the place where the smoke was coming from.
Tao Zhiyao, who was eager to take photos and had the longest legs, followed closely behind.
Behind her were Liu Lan, Liang Shengnan and Sun Weiwei. They were all carrying a fire extinguisher in each hand. The two metal bottles were quite heavy. The four of them and the boys were following closest. Liu Lan was in decent physical condition but not good at running. She was not wearing the restrictive Hanfu so she could run faster.
Perhaps when people face an emergency, their adrenaline really surges to the point of stimulating their greatest potential. It took less than ten minutes for everyone to discover the fire, get the fire extinguisher, and rush to the scene.
The fire started in a house, just as roommate B said. The thick smoke came from here. We were still a few meters away from the house, and we could already feel the air temperature rising.
The courtyard houses are all connected one by one. Wood is flammable, and burning one room can burn the whole area. But there is a characteristic of antique houses - each room is very small, and you can see the bottom at a glance.
Jiang Chengfeng kicked open the shaky wooden door, and a wave of heat rushed towards him, accompanied by thicker and darker smoke. "Be careful," his roommate pulled Jiang Chengfeng away to prevent him from being burned by the heat wave, but both of them were inevitably smoked black from head to toe.
Now everyone can clearly see the open flames. Fortunately, the fire was not far from the door, so the flames did not reach the point where they were blazing up into the sky. But it was still very large and burned a hole in the roof, so they saw thick smoke next door.
Jiang Chengfeng picked up the fire extinguisher without saying a word, rushed in, and sprayed it at the flames. His roommates followed his steps. White foam mixed with white gas sprayed out from the four fire extinguishers, covering the black smoke.
When the fire extinguishers were used up, Jiang Chengfeng and his four companions came out immediately, and the other four liberal arts students came in. Jiang Chengfeng and his companions took the fire extinguishers from the girls. The girls did not just stand there, but dispersed to search for fire extinguishers in the yard, and no one flinched or paused.
