There were a lot of onlookers, and the fire engine hadn't arrived yet. The scene was chaotic, and the cries and noises were deafening.Looking up, the three arms above were covered by billowing thick smoke, and the scarlet tongue of flames barked its teeth and claws in the smoke. Coco struggled to get to the front, saw a community security guard who was trying to evacuate the crowd, rushed forward and grabbed his clothes tightly and asked, "Which room is on fire?"

The security guard was a young man who had just graduated. It was the first time he encountered such an accident. Although he had received emergency training before, it was only a theory after all. My head was a little unresponsive, and I stammered: "It's the third, third, third floor, the room on the left and the left."

Coco let go of the little security guard, and rushed towards the stairs like crazy.

It was the neighbor who was on fire, and the two families were only separated by a wall!

"Hey! Hey! Come back quickly! You can't go up!" The little security guard had no time to stop him, chasing after him frantically and shouting.

Coco rushed up to the second floor in a panic, thick smoke kept pouring down from above, heat waves burst out, and the fire rumbled.I vaguely heard the panicked cry of the little security guard downstairs: "Yes, someone ran up, what, what should I do..."

Due to the proper management of the property, there are not many sundries in the corridor, only a few trash cans kicked over by the fleeing people lying on the steps silently burning.The fire on the stairs leading to the third floor was dazzling, and the black smoke billowed like a dark cloud cover, making people's eyes red and painful.

Fortunately, the community has standardly installed fire extinguishers on the corridors of each floor. Coco didn't have time to think about it. He lifted one, pulled off the safety plug, and held the leather tube to aim at the front for a burst of fire. It was full of flames, and there was only the sound of "crackling" burning in my ears. The scorching heat made the skin painful and unbearable, and the flames were aggressive.

"Wood! Wood..." Coco took out the key from the bag with trembling hands, ignored the scalding heat, inserted the key into the door lock and turned it twice, then raised the fire extinguisher and smashed open the door.

The heat was blowing, and the house was full of smoke and flames.

"Ahem...Wood! Wood—" His eyes were so smoked that tears flowed down his face, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

In desperation, there was a sudden "crash" in the ear, which was not easy to detect amidst the overwhelming roar of fire, but Coco heard it, it was simply a sound of nature!

"Wood!" She followed the sound, avoided the burning furniture with difficulty, and stumbled towards the bathroom.

The door there was ajar, and tongues of flame entangled on it like a creeper. The bathroom space was small. Coco didn't dare to kick the door recklessly for fear of accidentally hurting Wood inside. He took off one shoe and held it in his hand, and carefully pushed the door open .

The ground is very wet, the faucet is wide open, and the water is flowing continuously, but the floor tiles under the feet are still very hot. Coco squinted her eyes, eagerly looking for the figure of her lover.

"Why do you..." Wood stared at the intruder in shock, both startled and angry, and halfway through the question, he was hugged by the other person with such force, as if he would never let go again in this life.

"Ahem, I found you...Wood, cough, that's great..." Coco cried and laughed, and the heart that had been raised all the time was finally let go at this moment.

"You're stupid, ahem...the fire is so fierce and you rushed in..." Wood slightly pushed Coco away, looked up and down the embarrassed lover, his voice choked up slightly.

"I'm here to save you, Wood, cough...cough cough, let's go!" Coco relaxed and began to feel pain in his hands and feet. Just now, when he passed through the sea of ​​flames, he got scalded, bumped, burned, and scratched. There are more than a dozen small places. When opening the door, my little finger accidentally touched the red-hot iron door, and a large piece of flesh was torn off, dripping with blood.

Wood looked at the wound on her body distressedly, and finally couldn't help the tears from sliding down her cheeks. She slowly raised the hand with the iron chain, without saying a word.

Coco just felt that his whole heart was sinking, sinking to the bottom, cold and hopeless.

She was so absorbed in rushing in to rescue Wood that she forgot the shackles that were placed on her.

The scorching temperature approached from the ground and the walls from all directions, and the temporary shelter could not withstand the raging fire.

Wood suddenly jumped up and grabbed Coco by the collar and pressed her under the faucet to rinse, she said sternly in her ear: "Wait a minute, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel and rush out, cough, cough cough... don't be afraid Don't look back either."

"No!" Coco swallowed a sip of water when she opened her mouth, she struggled desperately to get away from under the faucet, stared stubbornly and persistently into Wood's eyes, "cough, cough... I won't leave, I will never leave You don't care!"

Wood was in a hurry, wishing he could slap her a few times to wake her up, life and death are at stake, every second counts, the fire of hell is approaching the god of death surrounded by hell, vows are just a waste of time.

"What's the use of you staying, but we all die together!" Wood didn't want to leave such a fierce expression on his lover at the end, but the obsession in Coco's eyes made her feel scared, afraid that she would foolishly Life and death go hand in hand.

Coco, you still have a great life and a bright future, how can you ruin it so easily?You live well, forget about me, forget about the past, and be that little princess who is easy to be shy, easy to give up but easy to be satisfied... okay?

"Wood, I won't leave, don't drive me away..." Coco hugged Wood's shoulder in fear, refusing to leave.

"Do you understand that life is precious, and it's worth living alone. You don't have to wait with me to die!" Wood pushed her away with all his strength, with an undeniable expression on his face.

Coco looked at her blankly with a pale face, and for a moment, as if making up his mind, he closed his eyes, turned around quickly and left, and disappeared behind the half-open door in the blink of an eye.

While Wood breathed a sigh of relief, she felt inexplicably sad and lost. She leaned helplessly against the slightly hot wall, watching the water from the faucet flow "squeaky" with blank eyes.

To be able to see her before she died... really enough.It's just... Waiting alone and helplessly for life to slowly come to an end, the suffering is a hundred times worse than before seeing Coco.

With mixed feelings, a figure appeared again in the firelight, not a fantasy of longing, but a real lover.

Wood turned pale with fright, and wanted to stand up with the help of the wall, but his hands and feet could not use half of his strength: "Didn't I tell you..."

"Wood, let's go together." Coco walked to Wood's side and knelt down, lifted a hard object picked up from the living room that was so burned that its original shape could not be discerned, and slammed it down on the iron chain dragged on the ground.

The white smoke of "Ziz" came out from between the fingers, and he directly grabbed the hot and hot objects with his flesh and blood, his palms were almost scalded.But Coco didn't even frown as if he didn't know the pain, his face was filled with a weird and crazy expression, reflecting the leaping flames behind him, his originally delicate facial features were now distorted and ferocious.

Wood rushed over and hugged her, trying to stop her almost (ahem) mutilated behavior: "Enough, let go! Coco, let go!"

The hard object hit the iron chain one after another, and every time it went down, blood spattered to the ground, bit by bit.

"Stop it, stop it, Coco, that's enough!" Not knowing how to stop the lover who seemed to have lost his mind, Wood was heartbroken, and in desperation, he pulled Coco's chin hard and kissed the dry lips.

I understand, I understand, I know, Coco, you want to be with me, not just talking about it, living and dying in the same bed, never leaving, never giving up.

I never doubt it.

"Aren't you the most afraid of pain? How can you do such a stupid thing..." Wood waited until the madness on Coco's face faded and his eyes regained clarity, then carefully took her bloody hand and blamed it with compassion.

Coco is really afraid of pain, at this moment, he was trembling with pain, almost fainting.But she still forced a smile at her desperately, and said inarticulately: "Wood, I...I want to...be brave for you."

Wood couldn't find words to describe the mood at that moment, pain, regret, sweetness, love... He was losing his life little by little, everything, everything, but he clearly felt that he had already gained worldwide.

Her Coco, her weak and timid little princess, her cowardly lover who is afraid of cockroaches, afraid of the dark and used to retreat and avoid, at this moment, for her, has really become so brave.

"Wood, in this life we ​​only have time to meet each other, not to stay together, ahem... in the next life... ahem..."

"Well," Wood kissed her forehead, and smiled dotingly, "...we will continue our relationship in the next life."

Nothing lasts forever, except love... and death, even if the body is damaged, decayed, ashes to ashes, dust to dust...but the heart that bears the promise of happiness is still there, this life, the next life, this life , the next life, endless life.

Fingers clasped together, there is a hint of relief and satisfaction in the smile, a dream, we wake up together, or fall asleep.

That's it.
