Back to when the Great Demon King was a child

damn it!

It was on fire!

Although Giorgano had a premonition before checking into the hotel that this area with dense residential buildings and no defense measures was prone to fire, he did not expect that he would be so unlucky that he would encounter a fire after staying only one night.

He forced himself to calm down, got out of bed and ran out the door without even thinking about putting on his shoes.

However, the speed of the flames was far faster than Giorgano had imagined. Before he could reach the door, he heard a bang, and the wardrobe next to the door fell straight down, slanting between the narrow walls.

In the next second, scarlet flames climbed up the fragile wardrobe with lightning speed, and thick black smoke rushed towards the face.

Giorgio was so choked that tears flowed out.

He covered his mouth, and finally gave up the idea of ​​opening the door and going out.

However, the windows of the hotel were tightly sealed by the anti-theft windows, and he couldn't get out through the windows.

In desperation, Giorgio could only temporarily hide in the bathroom. He covered his mouth with a wet towel, picked up his mobile phone and called the police while coughing...

No one expected that the residential building next to the hotel would suddenly catch fire.

The fire spread to other places within a few minutes. Looking around, the scarlet flames looked like a demon with claws and claws, and the billowing black smoke almost covered the entire sky.

For a while, the sounds of running, calling for help, and crying were intertwined.

Before the incident, the boss was still sleeping on a deck chair in the lobby on the first floor. It wasn't until the residents upstairs ran down in a hurry that he learned what happened from their words. He couldn't care about anything else and ran with everyone. To the side of the road.

At this time, the residents living nearby all ran out.

Everyone watched the fire burn more and more vigorously in the icy night wind, and felt a sense of luck for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.

Fortunately, at the same time, the boss suddenly remembered the boy who lived in not long ago, who seemed to be named Giorgio. He began to look for Giorgio in the crowd, but he never found it.

Just now everyone was running out desperately, and the scene was very chaotic. The boss was so desperate to escape that he didn't have time to see if Giorgio had escaped. Now that he thought about it carefully, he seemed to have never seen Giorgio.

That is to say-

Giorgano may be trapped in the hotel...

Thinking of this, the boss broke out in a cold sweat.

That was a life, if something happened to Qiao Jianuo, how could he compensate Qiao Jianuo's family?

The more the boss thought about it, the less he dared to think about it. His legs were weak, and he sat down on the ground. It took him a long time to get up with both hands and feet, and then he walked through the crowd with some hope, hoping to find Giorgio in the crowd. .

However, before the boss could find Giorgio, he was suddenly grabbed by the collar by a pair of strong hands.

Immediately afterwards, those eyes full of hostility approached, and they stared at the boss: "What's going on?"

The boss was caught off guard, and before he had time to struggle, Jin Chu grabbed his collar and picked him up.

"It's on, it's on fire..." The boss held his neck and kept coughing. The strong suffocation made him almost unconscious. He barely opened his eyes and stammered, "Your friend, he seems to be still inside..."

After finishing speaking, the grip on his collar suddenly loosened.

The boss fell to the ground in embarrassment, clutching his neck in pain, almost out of breath.

When the boss slowed down and turned his head to look again, he found that Jin Chu had already run away like the wind.

At this moment, Jin Chu's hands were shaking.

He ran to the door of the hotel as fast as he could, and saw that the dilapidated hotel had been engulfed in flames, and the soaring flames lit up the entire night sky as bright as day.

"Gioganuo!" Jin Chu heard his hoarse voice crackle and burn, "Gioganuo! Are you there?!"

The fiery red light shone on Jin Chu's desperate face, and the smoke choked into his throat, but he didn't seem to feel anything, and his anxious eyes searched upstairs.

"Giogano! Can you hear me?"

"Jin... Chu..."

"Jianuo!" Jin Chu was both surprised and delighted, and it took some effort to find Qiao Jianuo's figure at the leftmost window on the third floor.

Giorgano's slender figure was covered by layers of flames. He covered his mouth with a towel and kept coughing. The smoke made him feel as if he might faint at any time.

"Jin Chu, why are you here?" Qiao Jianuo's voice was full of disbelief, and he said with great difficulty, "Hurry up, I've already called the police, wait for the police to come."

Jin Chu didn't listen to Qiao Jianuo's words at all, he roughly estimated the location of Qiao Jianuo, and rushed into the hotel with his head buried.

The fire in the hotel was bigger than expected. Although it didn't burn the whole building, the surrounding temperature was astonishingly hot, as if it was going to burn his skin.

Jin Chu found the coat that the boss had put on the recliner in the lobby, ran into the bathroom to soak the coat with water, wrapped the coat around his body and continued to rush upstairs.

He rushed up to the third floor in one breath, and came outside the innermost room.

Because it is close to the burning residential building next door, it is also the first place to be implicated, so the smoke here is thicker than downstairs, and the pungent smell of burnt objects and thick black mist float in the air.

The ends of Jin Chu's eyes were stained with blood. He stretched out his hand to twist the doorknob. The handle was so hot that it pierced Jin Chu's skin like a needle. The door opened.

"Jin Chu?" Qiao Jianuo's voice came from inside the room, "Leave me alone, you go first, I'm fine."

After finishing speaking, there was a violent coughing sound.

"Jianuo, I can't open the door." Jin Chu was as anxious as a lion with its hair blown, he tried to calm himself down, and said with red eyes, "Did you lock the door?"

After waiting for a while, Giorgano's much weaker voice came through the door panel: "The door is blocked by the wardrobe, I can't move the wardrobe, you go, wait for the police and firefighters to come..."

Speaking of the latter, Giorjano's voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound.

"Giogano?"

Giorgano has lost his voice.

"Qiao Jianuo!" Jin Chu kicked and shouldered the door like crazy, "Persevere, I'll come in right away!"

At this time, the third floor and above of the hotel were surrounded by fire, and the black smoke was so thick that the visibility was only one meter around. Giorjano was submerged in the thick smoke, almost coughing out his lungs.

He squatted on the ground in a drowsy state, only feeling the smoke rushing up his throat, filling his mind and making him unable to even think.

He could no longer see the surroundings clearly, let alone where the window was and where the bathroom was, so he could only judge how far he was from the door by the sound of Jin Chu's constant banging on the door.

"Giogano, can you hear me?"

can……

i can hear...

Giorgano opened his mouth to answer, but found that his voice was dry and hoarse, and he couldn't make any sound at all.

"Gio Jianuo!" Jin Chu hit the whole door trembling, but unfortunately he didn't open the door. He was a little bit broken, and even his voice trembled a little, "Gio Jianuo, can you hold on a little longer?" ?I beg you……"

"Giojano!"

"Can you answer me..."

Jin Chu's voice drifted farther and farther away, until finally, it disappeared completely.

But the sound of burning flames in Giorgano's ears did not disappear, and even accompanied by the loud noise of something falling from the ceiling, it seemed that the chandelier had fallen.

Giorgano really wanted to turn his head to take a look, but he was so exhausted that he couldn't even open his eyes.

More smoke gushed out from his mouth and nose, and even the strength of his cough was exhausted, the oxygen was pulled away from his chest bit by bit, and the suffocation felt like an invisible big hand, covering him tightly. snout.

What was even more painful was the burning sensation coming from all directions, as if it was about to roast Giorgano alive.

Even though he had experienced so much pain in his previous life, he still couldn't bear it at this moment.

Before his consciousness completely disappeared, he vaguely heard the sound of the door being knocked open, and the wardrobe leaning between the walls was slowly falling towards him, and he had already lost the strength to avoid it.

However, the imaginary pain did not strike, and he was hugged into a firm embrace.

The sound of dripping water echoed in my ears.

Giorgano opened his eyes, and the first thing he saw was the snow-white ceiling. He was stunned for a long time before he smelled the familiar smell of disinfectant lingering in his nose.

He stared blankly at the ceiling, and after a while, the memories before he passed out flooded into his mind like a tide.

He was rescued...

Giorgio still vaguely remembered the embrace before he passed out, and the collapsed wardrobe, as if it was Jin Chu who protected him.

correct!

What about Jin Chu?

Thinking of this, Giorgano suddenly panicked, he sat up from the hospital bed recklessly, and accidentally pulled the wound on his body, causing him to grin his teeth in pain and let out a long hiss.

"Why are you sitting up? Lie down!" A familiar female voice sounded beside him, and after the sound of thud-thumping footsteps, two hands pressed Qiao Jianuo back down, "Jia Nuo, you finally woke up, Your dad and I are dying of anxiety."

As she spoke, Chen Yue's eyes turned red and she wiped away tears.

Qiao Jianuo was lying on his back on the hospital bed, and when he turned his head, he could see Chen Yue's face full of exhaustion and sadness. Maybe he hadn't rested well, and the dark circles under Chen Yue's eyes were very obvious.

"I'm sorry..." Giorgio also felt his eyes sore, his throat rolled, and his voice was so hoarse that he could hardly make a sound, "Mom, I'm sorry..."

Chen Yue quickly shook her head, wiped off the tears on her face, and smiled lightly at Qiao Jianuo: "It's good that you're fine."

"How long have I slept?"

"It's been three days." Chen Yue sat sideways on the side of the bed, holding Qiao Jianuo's hand carefully, "We are in the People's Hospital in City C, your father went out to buy food, we will come back when you feel better. Home."

Giorgio hummed.

He thought that Chen Yue would take the initiative to talk about Jin Chu, but after waiting for a long time, he saw Chen Yue talking about other things, as if he had forgotten that there was such a person as Jin Chu in the world.

Finally, Giorgio couldn't bear it any longer: "Mom."

Chen Yue lovingly stroked Qiao Jianuo's hair. As if she had guessed what Qiao Jianuo was going to ask, she gently turned the topic aside: "Are you thirsty? The doctor said that you can't drink water immediately after waking up. The nurse takes a bag of cotton swabs and puts water on your mouth, and you'll make do with it."

"mom!"

"Wait a minute." Chen Yue hurriedly got up.

Qiao Jianuo grabbed Chen Yue's wrist, and he couldn't wait to say: "Mom, where is Jin Chu?"

After the words fell, Qiao Jianuo could clearly feel that Chen Yue's body stiffened for a moment.
