Chapter 139: We’ll Be Alright
Seeing that the smoke was growing thicker, everyone would die from the smoke if they did not leave in time.
“Everyone, follow me to Jian Yiyi’s room!”
At this moment, Jian Ai’s voice suddenly sounded. As soon as she finished speaking, she was the first to run towards Jian Yiyi’s room.
The others had already lost their backbones. Now that someone suddenly stood up to give instructions, they didn’t care if this person was Jian Ai. They followed her into Jian Yiyi’s room.
Fortunately, Jian Yiyi closed the door when she came out. She was in the innermost part of the corridor, so the smoke inside was not thick.
Everyone rushed in together. Jian Ai said to Yan Tian, who was the last to enter, “Close the door!”
As she spoke, she ran to the window and opened it. The wind brought fresh air in. Everyone was about to suffocate just now. Seeing this, they ran to the window and took in deep breaths.
Jian Ai was the calmest among everyone. She didn’t have time to say anything else. She grabbed the bedsheets and pulled off the blanket, tying a dead knot quickly.
Seeing this, everyone instantly understood Jian Ai’s intentions and quickly reached out to help.
“This is the third floor. As long as we can connect these things for fifteen meters, we will land safely!” Jian Ai was still very calm, but she didn’t forget to comfort the others. “Everyone, don’t be afraid. We will be fine!”
The villa was on the high ground of Baiyun Mountain Hot Springs. If a fire broke out, it would attract the hotel staff’s attention. However, Jian Ai remembered they were sitting on a sightseeing bus when they went up the mountain. The road was not wide enough, and it would not be easy for the fire truck to come up.
Therefore, she could not sit still and wait for death. She had to think of a way to escape on her own.
Because of Jian Ai’s calmness and quick thinking, everyone calmed down a little.
The thick smoke outside the door became thicker, and it rushed in through the gaps in the door frame. Seeing this, Jian Ai quickly said to Xia Qinghuan, “Qinghuan, go to the bathroom and wet the towel. Block the door.”
Xia Qinghuan rushed into the bathroom. Seeing that there was water in Jian Yiyi’s bathtub, she threw the two towels in. She picked them up and rushed out.
She did what Jian Ai told her and stuffed a wet towel under the door. As expected, the thick smoke below could not enter, but the thick smoke above the door could not be stopped.
There was no choice. They had to do whatever they could.
They used everything that they could in the room. The boys also took off their pajamas and connected them. Seeing that the length was enough, Jian Ai tied one end firmly to the foot of the bed.
“Everyone, let’s throw the mattress down the window together,” Jian Ai said to the others.
“What are you throwing the mattress for? The rope is already attached. Let’s get down quickly!” Li Yunmei was scared and just wanted to leave quickly. She could not help but cry.
Furthermore, she could not figure out why they needed to throw the mattress down.
The boys seemed to understand Jian Ai’s intentions. They immediately walked forward and pushed the bed to the front of the window. Fortunately, the window was big enough. The boys worked together to lift the mattress and threw it down.
It landed precisely in the open space under the window.
They tied the man-made rope to one end of the bed and threw the other end down the window. As Jian Ai expected, the end of the rope was four or five meters from the ground.
With their bodies, their feet would be almost two meters from the ground. Fortunately, there was a mattress below. Even if they jumped, the two-meter distance would not cause any damage!
