Chapter 25 Saving a Life Is Better Than Building a Seven-Storied Pagoda

Huang Qiang, a beginner water mage.

Today, he agreed to meet Zheng Baoliang to go shopping together and buy a new basketball.

“Old Huang. The principal is so generous. All of us have a magic broom now!”

“What are you talking about? Previously when the principal said that only the top five students will receive a broom was just to motivate us. Now that all of us have mastered magic, everyone gets a broom!”

The two young men, each carrying a broomstick, looked quite strange.

Today was the weekend.

They had spent half a day at home with their family during the holiday yesterday. Today, the two of them couldn’t wait to go shopping.

They bought a new basketball and bought some equipment for playing basketball.

After school, playing basketball was the only hobby of the boys.

In the distance, under a residential building, there were many spectators surrounding the building. Everyone was looking up.

Huang Qiang and Zheng Baoliang followed the crowd’s line of sight and looked up. They knew that this was bad.

On a balcony, thick smoke was billowing. A woman was holding a child in her arms. She was standing at the edge of the balcony, shivering.

On the balcony, a man was holding a woman’s hand tightly and shouting loudly. Because it was too far away, it was impossible to hear clearly.

“Let’s go! Let’s go and take a look!”

Huang Qiang and Zheng Baoliang immediately ran to the crowd. Only then did they hear clearly what the man on the balcony was shouting

“Honey, hold my hand. Don’t let go. You must live well with our son!”

The woman’s cries continued, “Honey, I don’t want. I don’t want. Drag me back. I’ll go with

you!”

The child in the woman’s arms shouted, “I want Daddy, I want Daddy, I want Daddy!”

The residents below discussed animatedly.

“This man is a real man. His house is on fire, and he can’t run out. He left his wife and child outside the balcony. He’s stuck inside and endured the fire himself!”

“He’s a good man. What a pity… why isn’t the fireman here yet…”

“Brother, hang in there. The firefighters will be here soon!”

Huang Qiang and Zheng Baoliang heard what the passersby said and understood what was going on.

This family’s home was on fire because the escape route was engulfed by the fire.

The man had no choice. He could only leave his wife and his child, who had just learned to speak outside the balcony, while he stayed inside.

He allowed the fire to engulf him bit by bit.

At this moment, flames could be seen on the balcony from downstairs.

The thick smoke engulfed the man.

His voice could no longer be heard.

Even so, the man’s hands could still be seen. He was holding onto his wife tightly.

At this moment, he could only do this.

He allowed the fire to engulf him, but he hoped that his wife and child could survive!

He was a man!

Respect!

Huang Qiang and Zheng Baoliang looked at each other. They couldn’t just leave him to die at this moment.

The two of them rode on their brooms. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, they flew into the sky and headed straight for the balcony on the fifth floor.

At this moment, the woman was crying very hard.

“Hubby, wake up. Hubby, I beg you to wake up. I can’t live without you. Our son can’t live without a father…”

“Daddy! Daddy! I want Daddy! Daddy, come out, come out…”

The heart-wrenching cries made people feel anxious.

Huang Qiang arrived on the fifth floor and said hurriedly, “Big Sister, let go of your husband’s hand. I’ll send you down!”

The woman turned around and saw a young man floating in the air on a broom. She shouted loudly, “Save my husband, save my husband first!”

Zheng Baoliang also rushed to the balcony.

The man’s hand was holding the woman tightly. His back had been burned by the fire It was a shocking sight!

“No, my husband is holding my hand. I can’t let go!”

Zheng Baoliang quickly adjusted the angle of the broom. He stood on top of the broom shakily. He grabbed the man and moved him out of the balcony bit by bit.

The crowd below cheered when they saw this scene.

“Flying brooms! Are those two young men mages?”

“Holy crap, this scene looks so familiar. I think I’ve seen it somewhere before!”

“Students from Hogwarts University, it must be them. I saw the flying broom on Douyin earlier. It’s the symbol of Hogwarts University!”

“They can definitely be saved. The family of three will definitely be fine!”

“Look, the man was pulled out from the balcony!”

This scene silenced the crowd. They were afraid that if they raised their voices, the young man would make a mistake.

“Old Huang, help me. Move the broom closer to me.”

“Yes, yes, move a little more. Control your aim, and don’t let the big sister and the child fall.”

“Good, good, good. This is the angle. I pulled them out!”

Because the family of three was holding hands, it was very difficult to save them. The tough guy had already fainted from the fire, but his hand was still holding his wife tightly.

Huang Qiang admired him in his heart for being a man.

Being engulfed by the fire must hurt a lot. He was in so much pain that he fainted, but he was still holding his wife’s hand tightly.

Such a man was worthy of respect!

Zheng Baoliang saw that the clothes on the man’s back were melted by the fire and stuck to his back. There were large areas of burns and blisters.

His hair and flesh were all burned away.

“This must be so painful…”

Perhaps, they did not understand what responsibility a man shouldered after he had a wife and child.

That was, if an accident occurred, even if he died and risked his life, he could not let his wife and child suffer any harm.

This was a man!

The tough man was rescued.

The two brooms slowly landed on the ground.

The woman was crying very hard. She looked at the burns on her husband’s back and his face which was blackened by the thick smoke and cried loudly.

When the family of three was saved, thunderous applause sounded around them.

“Little Brother is awesome!”

“Little heroes, thank you. Not only did you save one person, but you also saved two families!”

“Good people! You risked your lives to save people. You are good people.”

“Young man, do you have a girlfriend? Auntie’s daughter is about the same age as you. I want to introduce her to you!”

Zheng Baoliang and Huang Qiang exchanged glances.

In the crowd, there was praise and applause.

It turned out that helping people was such a happy thing that they had never felt before.

Thinking of the principal’s school motto, they smiled at the same time and shouted, “The firemen are here. Everyone make way.”

The crowd subconsciously made way, and the two of them ran away.

Do good deeds without leaving a name.

The purpose of Hogwarts was to help those in need as much as they can.

Not to get attention, not to put on a show!
