Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

It is not too late.

Despite his social phobia, Xiaobai still sent out a friend request as soon as possible.

One minute, two minutes.

One hour, two hours.

Still no response.

[Are firefighters not allowed to bring cell phones while working?! ]

Old Bai shrank his neck, glanced at his wife who was sulking with her arms crossed, and said nothing.

[Which fire department received the call? ]

Lao Bai shook his head. He really didn’t know.

On this side, Xiaobai was worried at home.

On the other side, the firefighter was eating in the cafeteria. He had responded to three calls in the morning and the huge amount of activity made him very hungry.

The big bowl of rice in front of him was almost empty, but he still didn't feel full.

The captain bumped his shoulder and asked him in a low voice.

[Zhang Lei, is the snake you caught this morning still alive? ]

[Ah?! Ouch, it’s broken. I gave it to you but you didn’t want it. I put the snake in the drawer of my dormitory…]

Captain: ...That's a snake, do you think I'm not afraid?!

The firefighter named Zhang Lei cleaned up the leftovers in a few bites, then turned around and went back to look for the snake.

He always felt that the little orange snake, which was a similar color to his work clothes, looked at him strangely.

【hiss--】

Of course, he pinched me all the way this morning, and none of my teammates dared to take over.

So I just staggered back to the fire station.

This is the second human being I have had physical contact with in my life.

I saw at that time——

He repeatedly rescued the whole family from an old bungalow filled with smoke.

The old man suddenly cried out that there was a dog inside, and he turned back without hesitation.

Somehow, there was an explosion in the house with a loud bang, shattering all the glass.

He was unable to dodge and was engulfed by the blazing fire. He rolled on the ground screaming...

【hiss--】

My heart was shaking. Looking at this young and strong face, I was speechless.

Behind the flames, on a tall building, there was a banner hanging, wishing all the people in the county a happy New Year!

And today is February 12th.

So, the fire will happen two nights later.

【hiss--】

There was only a sharp manual razor in the drawer. The blade was so sharp that the light coming through the gap in the drawer shone on the blade.

I couldn't help but shrink back, curled up in fear.

Why was I given the ability to predict the future, but I can only hold it in my stomach and not speak it out?!

Dog judge!!! Don’t do anything about human affairs!!!

The drawer was suddenly opened, and the light was blinding.

【hiss--】

I quickly turned over on my belly and pretended to be dead, with my mouth wide open and my tongue sticking out.

Unfortunately, Zhang Lei, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, saw through it at once and burst out laughing.

[I checked the encyclopedia, you are a hognose snake, right? The encyclopedia is right, you really can play dead, hahahaha! It looks quite realistic, hahahahaha! ]

[By the way, a stranger added me on WeChat, his profile picture is all white, is he your owner?! I guess so, that aunt said this morning that she wanted to introduce her daughter to me, I was a little embarrassed...]

Zhang Lei scratched his head, feeling a little shy, and smiled like a fool.

The broadcast above my head suddenly sounded, [Zhang Lei, Zhang Lei from the Sixth Squadron, are you there? Someone is looking for you in the guard room, come quickly! ]

I knew it was the deputy captain's voice. It was his turn to be on duty at the gate at noon today.

【Who is looking for me? 】

Zhang Lei closed the drawer and trotted out.

Who could be looking for him?

Of course it’s our impatient Xiaobai.

She checked all the fire stations within a ten-kilometer radius, and this was the third one she drove to.

When I asked about the time of the police response and the location of the community, they matched exactly.

At first, the brother on duty at the door was stern and refused to say anything.

Xiaobai had no choice but to take out his cell phone, open the photo album, and show him more than a thousand photos of hognose snakes taken from various angles.

[Brother, I really raised that snake. I raised it from an egg until now. Is it easy for me? It’s all my mom’s fault. She was scared and secretly called the fire department. Isn’t this causing trouble for you guys…]

The eldest brother believed it and then he turned on the horn to call people.

Zhang Lei ran up to her with a sunny look on his face. Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, he was so excited that he almost stuttered.

[Hello...Hello, are you...looking for me? ]

Xiaobai was forced to raise his neck, and his 88-year-old cervical vertebrae cracked.

This guy must be about 1.9 meters tall, and he looks very oppressive.

[Hello, I'm here to look for my little snake, the orange-striped hognose snake. Sorry, that's my pet. I'm sorry to cause you trouble.]

Xiaobai used courtesy first and then force, as he didn't believe that this guy would hold Xiaoqing hostage.

[Zhang Lei, what's wrong? Why are you standing there? The girl is bowing to thank you, and you don't even give her a hand? ]

The security guard was one of the few people in the station who had a partner. He was well versed in the ways of men and women, so he quickly spoke up to remind them.

As soon as Zhang Lei stretched out his hand, Xiaobai stood up straight and looked up at him again.

The few guys who were secretly looking over here from the other side of the basketball court were laughing like crazy.

[I added you as a friend many times this morning, why are you ignoring me? Are you too busy at work to bring your phone? ]

[Ah, I saw it. I...I'll add you right now.]

[No, you are so funny. I have come all the way here. Please refuse and just give me my snake.]

Zhang Lei was stunned. This was quite different from what he had imagined the way men and women would chat when they went on a blind date.

The bell suddenly rang sharply, and everyone stopped immediately and ran towards the garage.

Xiaobai was left standing still, feeling the devilish sound piercing his ears and his head buzzing.

The security guard was still standing there, and he kindly explained.

[Sorry, comrade, there is a police incident and everyone must respond immediately. So, if you are not in a hurry, come back later. I will ask that guy to add you and keep in touch.]

What else could Xiaobai do? He took a look at the fire truck that was ready to go and went back.

Two and a half hours later, WeChat received a new message.

【Three Stones has added you as a friend. 】

Three Stones: Hello Xiaobai, I’m Zhang Lei.

Xiaobai: Hello.

Three Stones: I just came back from a police call. I’m sorry that I forgot to tell you at noon and then I ran away.

Xiaobai: It’s okay.

Three Stones: If you are in a hurry, can I send the snake back to you at 7:30 pm? !

Xiaobai: Okay, thank you, I'm really in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't have found your fire station.

Three Stones: Okay.

Next, the message window showed that the other party was typing, however, Xiaobai waited for two minutes and still there was no new message.

At 7:30 that evening, Zhang Lei arrived as promised. The little snake in his hand was still pretending to be dead, and its belly was slightly pale, which looked even better under the street light.

When Xiaobai's mother heard that the handsome firefighter came to see Xiaobai, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She leaned over the window and looked down, acting sneakily, not knowing that the two people downstairs had already seen her.

Please, can the curtains be light-transmissive?

Besides, it’s the third floor, it’s so close, if you can’t see it, then you have something wrong with your eyes…
