This was the Mirror River, one of the great attractions of the Jinling. It was famous for its small bridges and flowing water, and there were countless of tourists here every night. As for the daytime, there were less tourists, and painting here would make it more quiet.
Lin Youxi familiarly set up a small sign, with 51 of them written on it.
Xia Xiaotong was a single-parent family, and Old Xia was the only one who did cleaning work, so the money was definitely not enough.
Xu Qingmo saw that there was a similar painting stand on the other side of the river. Upon closer inspection, the price was a hundred pieces.
Xia Xiaotong was beautiful, the price was cheap too, many tourists had stopped to watch, and very quickly, a pair of young lovers sat down, asking Xia Xiaotong to draw one for them.
Xia Xiaotong didn't say much, she only nodded her head and quickly started to write.
Xu Qingmo took a look at the painting at the side, then picked up a piece of drawing paper. Xu Qingmo had thought that she was going to paint too, but in the end Lin Youxi had indeed rolled it up and used it as a microphone.
"Moonlight as bright as day."
This was what Shu Qingge had sung before when she was at the KTV, and Lin Youxi knew how to sing this as well.
On the Mirror River's side, they were not allowed to use the loudspeakers to sing. However, Lin Youxi was singing softly and it was not against the rules, so her singing volume was low. This was even more a test of singing skills, because singing without music was something that could be heard very easily.
Many people chose to sit by the side and listen to the song. After listening to a few songs, they would get a good picture and after a while, the people who made an appointment to draw at Xia Xiaotong's place lined up into a long line.
However, even if they were queuing up, these people wouldn't feel bored. With a beauty to admire, and even listening to music, who would be bored with it?
On the other hand, there were some old men who were lecherous and wanted to come over, but they were all grabbed by the ears by the old woman beside them.
Everyone gathered, and unavoidably, someone cast their gaze at Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo stood between the two girls and would occasionally pass a bottle of water to Lin Youxi or help him sharpen her pencil. No matter how one looked at it, he wasn't an ordinary tourist, so there was only one relation between them, he was the friend of the two beautiful girls.
An ordinary friend, or a couple?
All of the tourists were curious, and many of them were unwilling to accept this fact. Xu Qingmo did not look rich nor handsome, how could he have such beautiful friends? Maybe one of them was his girlfriend, or maybe even both of them were his girlfriend!
More and more people started to think this way as the male park visitors stared at Xu Qingmo angrily. If looks could kill, even if Xu Qingmo was skilled, he would have died a hundred times over by now.
On the other hand, Xu Qingmo was shameless. He was the same as always, busily working around the two girls without feeling any guilt at all.
"Sigh, your two friends are both talented. What talents do you have? Show us your skills as well." A candid female tourist could not bear to watch any further, so she said to Xu Qingmo who was sharpening a pencil.
Xu Qingmo laughed, then shook his head, signalling that he did not have any talent, instantly drawing a hissing sound.
It was at this moment that Xu Qingmo sensed something and turned his head abruptly.
"He went astray!" He had gone astray! The Mirror Moon Pavilion is in a mess! " Someone else shouted from the other side.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that a seven story tall tower was on fire on the Mirror River River.
The fire was very strong, starting from the ground floor and climbing up several floors in one go. The Mirror Moon Restaurant was made of wood, so the fire spread very fast.
Many tourists came running out from the smoking Mirror Moon Restaurant, their faces covered in dust.
Firemen with water guns, extinguish the fire, and brave soldiers rushed in to rescue all the tourists trapped inside.
In the end, all the tourists came out and everyone cheered. At least there were no casualties.
"Save my child."
Suddenly, from a window on the seventh floor of the Mirror Moon Restaurant, a woman with her child in her arms came out and yelled.
"There's still someone else!" Someone pointed and shouted.
When the fire marshal saw this, he panicked and hastily gathered up his men to rush back inside. However, each time, he was forced to retreat due to the fire on the first floor.
"Heaven Stairway!"
The fire truck's skyway rose slowly, but the ladder wasn't long enough. If he brought in another fire truck, it would be too late.
The fire had already reached the sixth floor. In less than ten seconds, the mother and daughter duo on the seventh floor would be buried in the sea of fire.
"It's over, it's over, there's no saving us."
"What should we do? The sky is about to rain."
"Oh my god."
The tourists on the side of the Mirror River were also wailing in grief. They wanted to see the two living beings being submerged in the sea of fire like this.
Xia Xiaotong, shocked, also stopped painting and singing as she nervously looked in their direction.
Suddenly, someone's eyes lit up. He pointed to the surface of the Mirror River's water and asked, "What is that?"
The distance between Mirror River and the boat was at least three to four meters, but this figure was able to pass by easily, just like how someone would fly by a wall on television. There were even times when the figure would step on the water surface and not sink, just create ripples, and then he would be able to stand up.
The tourists on both sides of Mirror River were all attracted by this figure, and they were shocked speechless.
Xia Xiaotong and Lin Youxi immediately turned their heads, and sure enough, Xu Qingmo was no longer in his original position.
The figure was of course Xu Qingmo. He quickly swept across the surface of the lake, then jumped onto the other side. With a leap, he jumped onto the fire engine.
The fire truck's Heaven Stairway slanted towards the Mirror Moon Restaurant, but there was still half a way to go, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Xu Qingmo quickly climbed the Sky Stairway, and without even using his hands, he only used his two feet to quickly climb up, as if he was running at a flat run.
This time, the park visitors and fire officials could see Xu Qingmo's path. He actually wanted to jump down the Heaven Stairway to the Mirror Moon Restaurant to save the mother and daughter!
"Go for it!"
Some tourists could not help but shout out. Previously, they sincerely begged for a super hero to appear and save the mother and daughter. Now that Xu Qingmo had appeared, they naturally hoped for him to succeed.
"Danger!"
No matter what, in their eyes, Xu Qingmo was just a mass of people, saving people was their duty as fire officials. Now that a mass of people were trying to save people without caring about their own safety, they started to blame themselves, afraid that Xu Qingmo would put them in the same situation.
However, whether it was the tourists or the fire officials, none of them could stop Xu Qingmo right now. They could only look at his back and silently pray for him in their hearts.
Xu Qingmo rushed to the top of the Heaven and Earth, without hesitation, he jumped towards the Mirror Moon Restaurant.
"It's over!"
Some people couldn't bear to keep looking. The top of the Heaven Stairway was still at least seven or eight meters away from the Mirror Moon Pavilion's seventh floor. It was impossible to jump this high, even for Xu Qingmo.
"No!"
Xu Qingmo indeed could not jump all the way up to the seventh floor, but he had jumped all the way to the fifth floor of the Mirror Moon Restaurant.
"Crap!" The entire Mirror Moon Restaurant was on fire, and the outside of the fifth floor was also covered in flames. Even if Xu Qingmo threw himself inside, he would only get roasted thoroughly.
Xu Qingmo jumped into the flames on the fifth floor and stopped talking.
Everyone held their breaths as they looked at the rising flames, hoping that a miracle would happen.
"He's moving!"
A black shadow soared into the sky. It followed the appearance of the Mirror Moon Pavilion and rushed out of the flames like a gecko. In a flash, it rushed to the sixth floor and then to the seventh floor without stopping!
"Go for it!"
"Go for it!"
"Go for it!"
At this time, they could only have these two simple words to express their support for Xu Qingmo.
Xia Xiaotong and Lin Youxi tightly held onto each other's hands, their bodies trembling from nervousness.
"I beg you, please save my child. Take her away."
When Xu Qingmo arrived outside the seventh floor, the flames were already burning his feet. The woman cried as she held her child in her arms and told Xu Qingmo, wanting to give the child to Xu Qingmo.
The fire spread very quickly. If Xu Qingmo carried the child down, then the woman would die.
Xu Qingmo looked at the woman, and realized that she was actually a great beauty.
Although she was in the middle of a fire and worried about her child, with her hair in disarray and her creamy white coat tinged with no traces, it only served to accentuate the calmness and delicateness of her flawless face.
Black silk, high heels, a beautiful crotch, and her entire body was brimming with captivating charisma. As she spoke, her nose was like jade, and her eyes were like water, causing people's minds to be in turmoil. Even Xu Qingmo could not help but be taken aback.
What a beautiful young woman!
The child in the woman's arms was a little girl around four or five years old. Her facial features were as exquisite as a porcelain doll. She must have inherited her mother's beauty and would grow up to be a beauty.
At this time, the young woman was crying and begging. The girl was looking at Xu Qingmo with wide eyes and said with a childish voice, "Big brother, I beg you, please save my mother."
Xu Qingmo smiled at the girl, extended his hand and touched her nose, "Don't worry, all of you will be fine."
Then he looked at the charming young woman and said to her, "Don't cry! Since you look so good even when you're crying, your smile must be even more tasty. Just give me a smile and treat it as thanking me, okay? "
The beautiful young woman was stunned. This was the perfect way to tease a hooligan. How could this young man, who had rushed over with everything in his mind, be in the mood to tease her in this building?
Just as the beautiful young woman was in a daze, her waist tightened and she was already carried by Xu Qingmo into his embrace. At the same time, her other hand took over her child, and then, three people leaped down towards Mirror River.
