I'd rather trust the fire brigade than the words of the neighborhood. But when the blazing scene came into my eyes again, I had to laugh at myself for being naïve. The fire was even more intense than when we came out, and a third of the houses on the street were already on fire, and the fire was red in half the sky!

"Quick! The water pump and connector are all available! ”

Before I reached my destination, and I was still more than 100 meters away, I started yelling at my neighbors.

Before the car could be stopped, people rushed to it. Everyone is working with all hands and feet, connecting water pipes and installing water pumps. Some people dragged the water pipe upstairs, and some people dragged the water pipe to the river. I clamped a water pipe to my arm, grabbed it with both hands, and rushed towards a burning building. I held the hose as if I were holding a submachine gun, and swept at the dragon.

"Help!"

A faint call came from a house on fire.

The roof had collapsed, burning beams and red-burned bricks had fallen, and the house was littered with fires. I lifted the hose and swept wildly where the sound was coming from. The fire was a little smaller, but I still didn't see anyone. I drenched my jacket, then took off the cover and put it on my head, and quickly rushed into the house.

"Come back, young man, danger!"

Someone shouted at me behind me, but I kept going. After a while of searching, I found two people lying in the bathroom. One coughed softly, the other stopped moving. None of them are very old and they are not heavy. A girl in her early twenties, a little boy in his late tens. I carried the little boy out of the fire, and then turned back to rescue the girl.

It turned out that the little boy had broken his leg from the falling wood and was unable to walk. The elder sister, who had already rushed out of the fire, found that her brother was gone, and returned to the house to look for it, but she was trapped by the fire and couldn't get out, so they both fainted. Later, my sister was woken up by water, so she called for help.

After rescuing my siblings, I joined everyone else and continued to fight. Although the water pipe was late, fortunately, the neighbors who put out the fire were all well-trained and seemed to have been rehearsed on a regular basis. They pulled water pipes and fired a salvo at the fire, suppressing the fire. In less than five minutes, the unbridled fire was finally suppressed and did not continue to spread.

Due to the sacrifice of the neighbors and the efforts of the people who heard the news, the fire was finally extinguished after four hours of fighting. After stopping what I was doing, I realized that I was wet from head to toe, like a chicken in soup. I was wiping the water from my sockets with my eyes closed, when suddenly a man threw himself into my arms. Who is it? Smelling the body fragrance, it should be a young girl. Could it be that she is the girl I rescued from the fire? I gave up my life to save her, and she promised to do so?

Roar - roar——!

Some people began to heckle, applause and screams were endless.

"Kiss one!"

"Kiss one!"

The sound is earth-shattering and uniform. There are old and young voices in the voice, and there are even younger generations.

What are these people coaxing blindly, Tian Jingjing saw it, isn't it very uncomfortable? No, except for Tian Jingjing, I don't kiss anyone! Even if she is a fairy from the earth! I put my hands around her shoulders and gently pushed her away. At the same time, I slowly opened my eyes. A smiling face like a flower bloomed in front of me. Her clothes, from top to bottom, were either blackened by smoke or stained with dirt. No wonder I can't smell the familiar scent.

"Quietly!"

I cried out in amazement.

Po –

"Tofu!"

Bo ——!

Quietly raised his head and kissed me deeply on the cheek. Before I could react, she had already galloped away. There was another burst of laughter. Wow, it's so cool! I finally won the quiet affection!

Wow - Wow——!

Suddenly, the siren sounded. Before I could savor it, my sweet mood was interrupted by the abominable fire truck. Five fire trucks, lined up. More than two dozen officers and soldiers, lined up in two rows, with majestic expressions. But there was no fire on either side of the street, not even a trace of fireworks. At this time, more than five hours have passed since the fire.

Smack-smack!

A large group of reporters surrounded the firefighters and crackled and took pictures, but not a single reporter pointed the camera at the neighbors and the people who came to put out the fire.

"Put on a show!"

"Humph! Hypocritical! ”

"When we need them, we don't even see a shadow!"

"By these guys? Hum! ”

"Get out!"

……

People were indignant, cheering, banging on buckets and basins, and some even spitting. Amid the invective, the fire brigade and the reporters all walked away. I have to go, or I'll catch a cold.

I took a shower, changed my clothes and came out, and found that Jingjing's house was already crowded with people. When everyone saw me, they all fell silent and focused their eyes on me. Hey, there are so many three aunts and six wives in the Jingjing family. This quiet, it's not the first time I've come to the door, do I need to be so grand?

"Koike, if it weren't for you this morning, the entire street would have been burned to ashes." A burly middle-aged man was thrilled to see me.

"Uncle, you are really our savior!" A septuagenarian, holding my hand, burst into tears.

"Brother, it's good that you came in time, otherwise my brother and I would have died." A girl in her early twenties, kneeling on the ground, looked at me gratefully.

……

"Hehe, what's wrong with everyone? I just did what I had to do, and it didn't help you much, so why not? "It's not that I'm humble, it's that I really don't understand why people are so grateful to me. I didn't know anyone but the girl on her knees.

"Uncle, if it weren't for you, we would be in a panic and have nothing to do to put out the fire; If it weren't for you, how would we have gotten our hands on the pumps and pipe joints?! You are a firefighting hero, you deserve it! ”

An old man held me with trembling hands, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Grandpa, if you listen to what you say, you must be a retired cadre!"

To lighten up the atmosphere, I teased.

Everyone listened and burst into laughter. Someone gave me a thumbs up: Uncle's good eyesight! I am very happy that my uncle's identity has been recognized by my neighbors. Jing Jing shouldn't have an opinion, right? I glanced triumphantly at the silence beside me. I thought it would be the same as usual, and all I got was a pair of white eyes. Surprisingly, she smiled back.

After experiencing a catastrophe, everyone's mood was very heavy, and they were much more relaxed when they were amused by me. After talking and laughing for a while, everyone said goodbye and went about their own business. However, the aunt was frightened and sighed: It can't be prevented! There were running water in the first few times, but this time no one expected that the water would be stopped.

Auntie said that the developer has a lot of tricks. This fire was aimed at Uncle Zhang, the fourth mother-in-law, and Aunt Zheng. They are all nail households who are strongly opposed to demolition, and they all turn away the people who do the demolition work. The boss of Uncle Zhang's family once set up a joint defense team with several neighbors, and was responsible for patrolling at night to protect the safety of neighbors, but he was arrested on charges of illegally forming an illegal organization, and has not yet returned.

Without electricity and water, how can the people on this street live?
