Let me explain this on two sides.
The people downstairs thought that Si Yiyan was rushing into the fire pit without caring about his life, but Si Yiyan was not so reckless. Although the desire to save Xinya had gradually eroded his calm brain, he knew better than anyone that at this moment, the only way for him to save Xinya as soon as possible was to remain calm.
The fire on the third floor was raging, and he couldn't find a way in. On the fourth floor, there were probably not many flammable materials on the balcony, so although the fire looked fierce, it was not as scary as what the people downstairs saw.
The fire in the house was quite strong, which posed a great obstacle to Si Yiyan's rescue operation. At this time, several firefighters stood on the lift equipped on the fire truck, holding long and thick water pipes, and cooperated in extinguishing the fire.
Si Yiyan understood. It was probably his risk-taking initiative that forced the firefighters to resort to this desperate measure in order to ensure the safety of everyone at the fire scene.
Si Yiyan was soaked through, and he rushed out of the room while still wet, running towards the passage on the left.
Fortunately, the fire in the safety passage had not spread yet. It was just the billowing thick smoke that made Si Yiyan's eyes, mouth and nose feel uncomfortable. Because he had an old illness, inhaling the thick smoke was a suicidal act, so he covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel he carried with him, held his breath and rushed forward.
For a normal person, the breath-holding time is about one minute and twenty seconds, and those with weaker physical fitness can only hold it for about forty seconds. However, because Si Yiyan has received professional training in this area, he can hold his breath for about fourteen minutes, which is already very impressive. However, he broke the Guinness World Record by holding his breath for 20 minutes underwater. However, this is already a gifted talent.
Si Yiyan's body was very agile, and he moved flexibly in the passage, looking for Wen Xinya's trace.
At this time, Wen Xinya was leaning limply in the corridor, covering her mouth and nose and coughing continuously.
Du Ruo collapsed on the ground, feeling powerless, and tried hard to hold back a cough: "Cough cough cough cough... Xinya, I can't go on. I can't walk anymore."
Although she was in good health, she was born with a weak constitution, which made her physical strength slightly weaker than that of ordinary people. She was fleeing in panic and rushing to save people, which constantly consumed her physical strength.
Wen Xinya suppressed her cough and said reluctantly, "Ruoruo, we have already escaped to the second floor. The fire hasn't really spread yet. We will be able to escape soon. You must hold on."
Ruoruo insisted on saving people, she couldn't stop her, nor did she want to stop her. Fortunately, the fire had not spread yet, and they still had a chance to escape.
Du Ruo lay on the ground coughing and gasping: "Xinya, you go first, don't worry about me, it's my insistence on saving people that has implicated you, I really don't have the strength, the fire will spread quickly, and soon none of us will be able to escape."
Du Ruo felt that she was very naive. She was spoiled by her grandfather since she was a child and had not experienced much of the world. She chose to save people, not because she was so saintly, but because she had been immersed in medicine since she was a child and learned medicine from her grandfather. Chinese medicine emphasizes benevolence and medical skills, and saving the world and people is a deep-rooted concept, so she chose to save people almost as a conditioned reflex.
After saving the person, she realized that because of her decision, her good friend had to take the risk with her and missed the best chance to escape.
If Xinya is harmed because of her, she will be held responsible even if she dies.
Wen Xinya struggled to stand up by holding on to the wall, and walked over to help Du Ruo: "Ruoruo, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I abandon you and run away alone? Not to mention that we are like sisters, and there is no difference between you and me, even for Grandpa Du's sake, I can't just ignore you."
After all, Ruoruo suffered this crime because of her. It was she who asked Ruoruo to come out. If something happened to Ruoruo, how could she explain to Grandpa Du
Du Ruo was very moved, her eyes were bloodshot from the smoke: "Xinya, I'm sorry, cough cough cough... I got you into trouble, you..."
She really didn't want to continue to implicate Xinya.
Wen Xinya helped Du Ruo up from the ground and said in a hoarse voice: "Ruoruo... cough cough! Don't say anything. I once promised Grandpa Du that I would take good care of you. If I leave you and run for your life, I will not be able to see Grandpa Du again in the future. Do you want to frame me as unkind and unjust?"
While talking, Wen Xinya put Du Ruo's arm on her shoulders without hesitation. Even though she was imprisoned, Wen Xinya's thin shoulders did not bend at all, but instead looked even stronger.
Du Ruo knew that no matter what she said, Xinya would not give up on her and leave alone. She glanced at the middle-aged woman beside her, her eyes flashing with struggle. It was not that she was unwilling to save her, but she and Xinya could hardly save themselves, let alone save others. Although the old saying goes, help people to the end and send people to the west, but that was also within her ability. She had done what a doctor should do, and the rest was up to fate.
Du Ruo was simple-minded and her thoughts were written all over her face, so Wen Xinya could see it clearly and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that she is cold-hearted, it's just that in the current situation, she can only ensure Ruoruo's safety. She and Ruoruo don't have the ability to carry an injured and unconscious woman who is not small in size. Besides... the sound of the fire truck outside is so clear. If they escape at the first time, the firefighters may be able to save the woman.
With this woman, perhaps none of the three of them would be able to escape.
However, if she stayed behind, she was confident that she and Ruoruo would be able to escape, and even the woman would have a chance of survival.
A warm and elegant heart naturally makes some choices.
Just when the two of them had made up their minds to choose and decide, a voice calling "Xinya" startled her. She turned around subconsciously and saw Si Yiyan, whose body was in a mess and burnt state, but whose demeanor remained calm.
Si Yiyan hurried to Wen Xinya's front. Seeing that she was fine, his brows relaxed: "I'm glad you're okay!"
But these five short words fully expressed his joy and excitement at surviving the disaster.
Wen Xinya was deeply moved: "You... why did you come in? Is the fire scene so fun?"
Although he was blaming her, his tone was so soft that there was no harshness at all. Instead, there was only a sense of touching emotion revealed in his anger.
Si Yiyan frowned slightly and glanced at the middle-aged woman lying on the ground, explaining: "I was worried about you, so I came in to take a look. The fire above is beginning to be controlled, but the fire below is still spreading. The corridor is safe because there are no flammable materials, but I think it seems that it will collapse, so let's go quickly!"
Si Yiyan picked up the middle-aged woman without saying a word, took Wen Xinya's hand, and motioned Du Ruo to follow.
