Someone has called the fire truck, but it hasn't arrived yet.

People around were discussing it, probably neighbors.

"Fortunately, Mr. and Mrs. Shen just went out to do business. The door is still locked, so there should be no one inside."

"Why did this nice house suddenly catch fire?"

"It's probably due to aging circuits. It's good that no one is inside. It's a pity for this house. I guess it's uninhabitable after this fire."

The smell of smoke and dust was choking, so Gu Yang pulled Gu Jin and Feng Jue to move away.

However, at this moment, she suddenly heard a childish and hoarse voice amid the crackling sound of the fire -

"Help!"

"Help! Ahem!"

There was also the sound of banging on the door.

Gu Yang suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jin looked at Gu Yang.

Gu Yang looked at the four little kids around him and asked, "Did you hear any cries for help?"

Feng Jue was puzzled: "No, sister."

Gu Jin, Gu Ying and Cao Cuo also shook their heads.

Is she hallucinating?

Gu Yang felt puzzled, but at this time, the knocking on the door became more urgent, and the cry for help sounded like crying.

"Sister, are you okay?"

"Help! Help! Someone come quickly!"

Gu Yang looked towards the burning detached house. The door was indeed locked from the outside, but she saw that the lock on the door was shaking.

If there is no one, then forget it. But if there is really someone...

Gu Yang couldn't care less. She ran over and said anxiously to the adults watching: "Uncle and aunt, there are people inside. Can you help break the door open?"

"Yeah, it smells like smoke here, you should go somewhere else to play."

Gu Yang became more anxious when he heard the cry for help.

She was also a little anxious, her eyes were filled with tears from the thick smoke coming out from the other side, so she just cried and showed off her acting skills.

She burst into tears and pulled the sleeve of a man with tattoos on his arms, saying, "Uncle, can you help me? There are people inside. My good friends from kindergarten are still inside. The door was locked when their parents went out to prevent them from running around."

She knew that these people, like Feng Jue and Gu Jin, did not hear the childish cry for help, so it could not be said that she came to seek help only because she heard the cry for help.

They won't believe it.

So she could only say with certainty that she knew there must be someone inside.

Moreover, according to the diffusion of responsibility effect in psychology, if she asks everyone for help, not everyone will necessarily come forward to help. However, if she specifically asks one person for help, the probability that person will help will increase.

The diffusion of responsibility effect is also called the bystander effect.

She is still a child and it is impossible for her to run over to help by herself, so she can only ask for help on the spot.

Sure enough, the man with tattoos was suddenly stopped by Gu Yang. Being stared at by such a cute little girl with tearful eyes, he instantly felt overwhelmed with fatherly love and sense of responsibility.

Moreover, because his arms are covered with tattoos and he has a burly build, he looks like a gangster, and most children are afraid of him or cry when they see him.

But this little girl was not afraid of him and even asked him for help!

There were so many people present, but she didn't ask anyone else for help, only him. What does this mean? It means that children have the sharpest eyes, and they can see through his gangster appearance and see that he is a good man who is brave enough to do what is right!

The uncle with tattoos is full of pride.

"Little girl, don't cry, uncle will help you save your friend right now!"

After he said this to Gu Yang, he immediately rushed towards the house on fire in the thick smoke and kicked the door hard.

The door was made of wood and was a little burned. He was very strong and quickly kicked the whole door down.
