Chapter 15: Weightlessness (3)

In the fifth second, I stood up and glanced at the surroundings, and our position was almost swallowed up, and the distance between the safe position on the fourth floor and the fulcrum of the handrail that was not disturbed by the escalator sliding down was about three meters, which was almost my limit, fortunately, there was a height difference, but at the same time I had a load.

In the sixth second, "Hold me tight, hard." I commanded almost in a roaring tone.

In the seventh second, as if grasping the last ray of life, she wrapped her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. The sound of metal tearing was so close that she buried her head in my neck, as if waiting for the verdict of death.

In the eighth second, I stepped on the edge of the handrail, and there was the huge Christmas tree under the four-story patio, thinking that even if I accidentally fell, there would always be a Christmas book branch to help bear the force of the fall. I jumped as hard as I could, drawing a dangling arc.

Suspended in the air, still, breathing with it. The woman's long hair floated over to block her vision, and everything was left to fate. I spread out the palm of my right hand to protect the back of the girl's head, who was reluctant to die and had no strength to save herself, thinking to myself that even if I fell, I hoped that the tree below me would provide some resistance and save her life.

The moment we hit the ground, we curled up together, rolled and finally stopped. The pain actually makes me happy, and the pain means that I am not dead, but the impact may be too great, and there is a buzzing in my ears.

When I came back to my senses, I sat up on the ground, and the metal staircase finally stopped rolling, and the entrance to the escalator on the fourth floor was a mess. The girl was still clutching as if she were stiff, and her trembling body still didn't get better.

"It's okay, it's okay." I whispered softly, then pulled her away from me and stood up.

When I looked around, I realized that it was already full of people, applause, and beautiful words.

"Mom, that uncle is amazing."

"That's amazing."

Then the staff of the mall ran to us, "Sir, are you okay, we have notified the ambulance, please go to the hospital for examination, our mall will be fully responsible." ”

"I'm fine, you can take a look at them first." I turned my head to look at the woman in the dark blue coat, her expression still a little dazed, and her face was probably pale from being frightened.

But the expression on which she sat on the ground could still see that unusual temperament, and she was a beautiful girl who could make an impression.

"Good job, young man." The middle-aged uncle who stepped forward to help me just now was shouting at me from afar.

I nodded at him in thanks.

The old lady in the white coat seemed to be overly frightened and surrounded by a group of medical personnel, and the mall staff had gathered there. The woman in the brown trench coat trotted to her companion's side, "Xiao Ai, are you okay?" ”

There didn't seem to be any major accident on the fourth floor of the chaotic mall, everyone was saved, but why did I always feel that something was missing, I looked around looking for something.

Where did the man in the jacket and cap go? He was obviously at the scene at the time of the accident, but why did he suddenly disappear?
