Chapter 352 - 335 Imminent Peril (First Watch)
He Ximei, who had rushed downstairs, saw the situation above and cried out in desperation, "Pengzi, Xiaofeng, wait for me, Mom will come up to save you."
When she went downstairs, the fire in the stairwell wasn’t that big. No sooner had she run down than the fire downstairs became like a dragon, devouring the stairwell entrance.
"Big sister, you can’t go up anymore, if you go up again, you’ll lose your life too," a neighbor grabbed He Ximei, "Big sister, if you go up now, you’re just waiting to die."
"I have to go up, both my son and my daughter are up there. My daughter is about to give birth any minute, I beg you all, please save my daughter, she’s about to give birth," He Ximei said as she knelt down to everyone present, "Please, I’m begging you to save my daughter."
Xiaofeng had already started contractions, and the baby could come at any moment, which would be incredibly dangerous.
Both Xiaofeng and the child might lose their lives.
Everyone was moved by her plea, but the fire was clearly getting out of control, and they weren’t professionals; going up there was tantamount to suicide.
"I have a ladder at home, we can’t use the stairs, let’s see if we can get them down from above." A middle-aged man said, quickly going home to fetch the ladder.
"Right, I’ll go home and fetch water, when people come down, we’ll all splash water towards the second floor," a woman suggested.
"I’ll check if the firefighters have arrived at the intersection. If they come, I’ll bring them over immediately."
