Chapter 123: Mommy, I Will Save You

The room was on fire!

Little Bei woke up instantly and coughed as she pushed Mu Jingzhe. “Mommy, wake up! There’s a fire!”

Normally, Mu Jingzhe would wake up very soon, but this time, she did not.

“Mommy!” Little Bei got up and pushed Mu Jingzhe even harder. Her voice got louder, but no matter how hard she pushed, Mu Jingzhe wouldn’t wake up.

Little Bei became even more anxious and quickly checked if Mu Jingzhe was sick or had a fever.

She touched Mu Jingzhe’s forehead and found that her temperature was normal. There was no problem, but she couldn’t wake her up.

As she delayed, even more smoke filled the room. Moving along the curtains, the fire had reached the cupboard at the foot of the bed and would soon spread to the bed.

The guesthouse had been built recently. It was fully furnished, but the furniture was mostly made of wood. This caused the tables, beds, and even rattan chairs to be quite flammable.

They had to escape quickly.

Little Bei looked at the fire and gave up on her plan to put out the fire by herself. Seeing that Mu Jingzhe was still unconscious and that she was too weak to carry her, she decisively ran to open the door.

The door opened successfully, revealing a smoke-filled corridor. “Is there anyone here? Our room is on fire!”

The entire crew was basically staying there, but they were on the first and second floor. Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei had arrived late, so they were the only ones living on the third floor.

There didn’t seem to be anyone else on the third floor. Little Bei glanced around and then went down to the second floor to seek help.

“The place is on fire! Everyone get up!”

As Little Bei shouted, the boss and a few crew members got up. However, they were too busy saving others to pay heed to Little Bei. They only told Little Bei to run.

It was easy for Little Bei to escape, but Mu Jingzhe was upstairs.

Thinking that Mu Jingzhe was unconscious and the room was still on fire and seeing that everyone was busy, Little Bei couldn’t wait to call for help. She quickly covered her mouth and ran back.

By then, the fire had grown bigger, and the room had become increasingly smokey.

The situation in the room was worse than before.

The table and wardrobe in the room were already on fire, but Mu Jingzhe was still unconscious. Little Bei couldn’t care about anything else and quickly dragged her down.

She was too weak. Although Mu Jingzhe was thin, she was unconscious. She was afraid of injuring Mu Jingzhe. Besides, her nose and mouth were suffocated, and her vision was obscured by all that smoke. Little Bei had a hard time and was soon covered in sweat.

“Mommy, wake up!”

“Mommy, I’ll take you out!”

By the time she dragged Mu Jingzhe halfway across the room, the fire had spread to the beds.

The blankets on the beds were flammable items. The fire quickly grew bigger, and some sparks even landed on Mu Jingzhe.

“No, no!”

Afraid that Mu Jingzhe would be burned, Little Bei quickly extinguished the sparks and used all her strength to drag Mu Jingzhe out of the room.

The door of the room was on fire, and so were the stair railings. The fire grew stronger, and the smoke grew.

It was as if the fire wanted to swallow them whole. Little Bei was filled with despair and fear. She couldn’t help but cry out for her mommy.

However, Mu Jingzhe didn’t react. Little Bei squatted down and grabbed Mu Jingzhe’s hand. She carried her on her back and tried her best to move her down.

The pain in her feet and body intensified. Little Bei became more and more afraid, but she still didn’t let go of Mu Jingzhe.

“I’ll save you, Mommy. I’ll save you…”

The disheveled Little Bei muttered as she rushed down the stairs.

After rushing to the second floor, she finally saw someone familiar.

“Little Bei, you actually brought your mother down!” The stage supervisor was moved when he saw Little Bei dragging Mu Jingzhe, but there was no time for him to say anything else. He gritted his teeth and carried her out. “I’ll bring you out first!”

“No, Uncle, save Mommy first. I can walk by myself!” Little Bei struggled. “I can walk by myself!”

The stage supervisor had no choice but to put her down and rush out with Mu Jingzhe on his back.

Little Bei stumbled out as well. Her eyes were already stinging from the smoke, and she couldn’t see anything. She kept bumping into things as she ran, stumbling and falling. Along the way were many sparks, and burning things kept falling.

Fortunately, they managed to escape in the end.

When Little Bei saw that Mu Jingzhe had been rescued, her heart relaxed, and her vision darkened before she fainted.

In front of the guesthouse were all the people who had been rescued, including Director Lu and the rest. Half of them were unconscious.

After a while, the fire engine and an ambulance arrived. The fire in the guesthouse was finally extinguished, and the crew was sent to the hospital.

Because they were sent for emergency treatment in a timely manner, most of the crew members only suffered minor injuries. Those who were in a coma could not wake up because they had taken medicine that had caused them to fall unconscious.

Mu Jingzhe was one of them. When she woke up, it was already two days later.

When she woke up and saw the unfamiliar environment, Mu Jingzhe was still in a daze. “Is this a hospital? Cough…”

Mu Jingzhe felt some discomfort in her throat, and her body hurt for some reason. She coughed twice. Worried about Little Bei, she was about to look for her when she saw a familiar person on the bed next to hers.

Mu Jingzhe walked closer and saw that it was indeed Little Bei. Both sides of Little Bei’s face were smeared with medicine. More importantly, her arms and legs were fully bandaged, her arms even more so.

At that moment, the stage supervisor came in. He was also injured, but he had already gotten much better. Mu Jingzhe quickly asked him some questions when she saw him.

“What happened? How did Little Bei end up like this? What happened?”

“There was a fire.” The stage supervisor gave her the latest update. “Many of our crew members are in the same state as you. Did you drink the water in the kettle before you fell asleep?”

“Yes. Was there a problem with the water?”

“Mm. According to everyone’s memories, those who drank the water entered a deep sleep.” The stage supervisor looked at Mu Jingzhe and sighed. “Luckily, Little Bei didn’t drink it. Otherwise…”

Little Bei had been too tired last night and had fallen asleep before she could drink it. As a result, she hadn’t entered a deep sleep like everyone else.

Mu Jingzhe looked at the stage supervisor and then at Little Bei. She had a guess. “So it was Little Bei who woke up and saved me.”

“Mm.” The stage supervisor nodded. “When she woke up, she came down to call for help. At the time, everyone was busy saving people, so they asked her to go out first. In the end, she didn’t run away. Instead, she went back and forcefully saved you.”

The stage supervisor let out a bitter laugh. “If I hadn’t gone back to check for the last time and bumped into you two on the second floor, maybe the two of you would have—”

After just two sentences, Mu Jingzhe understood everything. Little Bei, a small child, had insisted on saving her and had even dragged her to the second floor.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t even dare think about how she had done it. In fact, because she wanted to save her, Little Bei had almost died in the fire with her.

At the time, Little Bei had probably been terrified, but she still hadn’t escaped alone.

Many couples escaped by themselves in times of danger. This was understandable. After all, one’s own life was the most precious. She hadn’t expected Little Bei to…

Mu Jingzhe looked at herself. Other than the bandage on her forehead, she was more or less fine. However, Little Bei…

Upon looking at the bandaged Little Bei, Mu Jingzhe was filled with self-reproach.

The doctor said that Little Bei had been awake all this while and had been running up and down to save her and call for help. Compared to her, she had inhaled a lot of thick smoke. Plus, she was young and had tender skin, so her face was flushed from the heat. There were burns on her hands and feet to a certain extent. The burns on her hands were even more serious and had blisters on them.
