Luo Jianxing sniffed Li Man's hair lightly and said with a smile, "There's no strange smell, just a sweet fragrance."
"There's a burnt smell." Gu Nian frowned, and the smell was quite strong.
Little Green looked up at the sky: "Whose range hood is broken? The house is smoking."
"Crash." A bottle of milk containing half a bottle of water fell to the ground.
The passerby who was almost hit looked up and cursed angrily, "Damn it..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by cries for help.
"Help...help me...cough cough."
A woman holding a child of about three years old was sitting in front of a fifth-floor window, calling for help.
Thick smoke billowed out from the other side of the house.
The woman's room initially emitted only a small amount of smoke, but within a short time, the amount of smoke visibly increased.
The woman cried out in despair, "The fire has reached the doorway! Save my child!"
She tried to soothe her crying child while calling for help from below.
"Call 119 immediately!"
"Fire! Fire! People downstairs, come down quickly!" The crowd below anxiously looked up at the building and shouted repeatedly.
"We've already called the police, the fire department will be here soon, you must hold on!"
Just then, a graceful figure leaped up the wall, grabbed the second-floor railing, and climbed up.
Then, stepping on the outdoor unit of the air conditioner and grabbing the railings on each floor, he climbed up to the fifth floor in one go with agile movements.
Her cat-like agility astonished the onlookers, who, after the initial shock, couldn't help but feel worried for her.
"Be careful, watch your step!"
"Girl, be careful, make sure you hold on tight!"
A resident living on the first floor came out carrying a quilt.
Seeing this, everyone stepped forward and pulled the blanket over her, standing beneath her.
The trapped woman saw a bright and beautiful face outside the window, and her eyes lit up. Her lips trembled as she cried out, "Save my child." The child was coughing from the thick smoke.
"Okay, don't rush." After confirming that she was standing firmly, Luo Shimiao gripped the railing with both hands and pursed her lips.
The iron railing, which was originally as straight as a pen, gradually became curved.
Gu Nian stood directly below her, his brows furrowed and his thin lips pressed into a line.
See the live stream comments.
Holy crap! Breaking iron with bare hands?!
[Luo Shimiao, you better stand firm! If you die, I won't send you a wreath!]
Who would have thought that her extraordinary tree-climbing skills would one day be used for the right thing!
May Buddha protect us! May Guanyin protect us! May this mischievous monkey remain safe and sound!
Within seconds, the live stream chat was flooded with messages of blessing.
Luo Shimiao frowned, sweat trickling down his cheeks and into his chest.
She said in a relaxed tone, "Your security grilles are really good quality!"
He exhaled a breath of stale air: "Let's see if the baby can come out."
"Waaaaah..." The child cried uncontrollably as soon as he was separated from his mother's embrace, his snot and tears mixing together and sticking to his face.
"Don't cry, Xiao Bao. Go downstairs with this lady. Mommy will go down in a bit too, cough cough~" the woman said while coughing.
As the smoke in the room grew thicker, Luo Shimiao's eyes hardened, and she threatened, "If you keep crying, bad guys will kidnap you, and you'll never see your mother again."
"Uh..." The child hiccuped and looked at her timidly.
Little Green peeked out from Luo Shimiao's chest: "She's lying to you, handsome boy, don't cry."
When the child's mother saw that her son had stopped crying, she quickly stuffed him out through the opening.
Luo Shimiao held the child steadily and called down, "My dear consort, ask them if they have a hammer and rope. If so, bring them up for me and help me pick up the child."
"I have some in my shop, wait a moment, I'll go get it now." The man standing a meter behind Li Man rushed into a shop.
In less than two minutes, he rushed out with a hammer and a bundle of rope.
Without saying a word, Li Man grabbed the things, took a running start, and quickly climbed up the wall.
"Miaomiao, here you go." Li Man stood between the third and fourth floors and handed her the rope and hammer.
Luo Shimiao said softly to the child, "Hold on tight to your sister."
"Mmm," Grandma responded.
Little Green had moved from her chest to her shoulder.
Luo Shimiao hugged the child tightly, released her grip on the railing, and slowly squatted down to get the hammer and rope.
After receiving the items, I handed them to the woman in the room and asked her to hold them for me temporarily. Then I knelt down again and handed the child to my best friend.
See the live stream comments.
[Even Gu, the richest man in China, climbed up! Climbing stairs by hand seems as easy as drinking water to them!]
Third Brother followed too!
[I can understand, Third Brother. Having a sister like this, an older brother's behavior will inevitably influence her, but... why is Gu Nian climbing the stairs like this...?]
Gu Nian stood on the third-floor railing, raised his hand and said, "Give me the child."
Li Man handed the child to him, and he then handed the child to Luo Jianxing, who had climbed up to the second floor.
Luo Jianxing, holding the child, glanced down and smiled, "Close your eyes."
The child obediently closed his big, dark eyes.
He shielded the little boy's head and jumped from the second floor, landing steadily on the ground.
The woman on the fifth floor finally felt relieved after seeing her son land safely.
“You don’t need to come up. You’re too heavy. If it collapses, we’ll all be going to meet our ancestors,” Luo Shimiao said, looking at her boyfriend and best friend who were about to come up to help her.
“You guys go down and help evacuate the crowd. I’m afraid that if I break the railing, it might fall and injure them.”
Hearing her say that, the two had no choice but to go downstairs.
Without them needing to evacuate, the people below automatically stood far away when they heard her say that.
Luo Shimiao's eyes were watering from the smoke, and her pretty face was blackened. Seeing that no one was around, she picked up a sledgehammer and began smashing the bent railing repeatedly.
After a short while, the blow created a large hole: "Quickly try to see if you can get out."
"Okay... cough cough." The woman held her breath and lowered her leg, her body trembling.
"Don't be afraid, you're quite thin, this railing can support you," Luo Shimiao encouraged her.
As Luo Shimiao watched her, he quickly tied knots in the rope, creating a knot at regular intervals along the five-meter-long rope.
The woman hunched her shoulders, exerted a little force to push them out of the railing, and finally pulled her head out.
Luo Shimiao wrapped the rope around her waist and tied a safety knot on it.
They tied a knot and were about to secure the rope to the guardrail beneath their feet.
A loud "Boom!"
"Miaomiao!"
