(Era Setting, Marriage Substitution, First Marriage Then Love, Ruthless Against Villains) After a car accident, Xia Yuhuan wakes up and realizes she has transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s....
Chapter 48 There's Always a Scoundrel Trying to Harm Me
"Gangzi, why is she stopped there? Did she discover something?" Curly-haired cricket chirped softly in the grass.
Gangzi frowned and whispered, "Don't speak, just wait patiently."
He wasn't sure either.
Xia Zhuyu had told him that Xia Yuhuan had once saved a complete stranger at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Logically speaking, she should have tried to save someone who was unconscious in front of her.
But right now, she looked at the unconscious person on the ground, but didn't move, showing no intention of going forward to save them.
Could it be that Xia Zhuyu made a mistake, and that Xia Yuhuan is actually someone who would stand by and watch someone die, and that she gave him the wrong information?
Gangzi frowned and stared at Xia Yuhuan, only to see Xia Yuhuan staring at the unconscious person on the ground for a while from a distance of several meters before suddenly turning the car around and quickly stepping on the pedals to leave.
Curly Hair, who was squatting next to Gangzi, immediately cursed out loud.
"Holy crap, why did she run away? Did she discover something?"
They hid so well, how could Xia Yuhuan possibly have found out?
Not only was he confused, but Gangzi was also confused and just wanted to curse.
The waiter, who was lying on the ground pretending to be unconscious, sat up when he heard the noise.
He hurriedly called out, "Girl, don't run away! I've fallen, it hurts so much, please help me up!"
Hearing the shout, Xia Yuhuan pedaled even faster.
She pedaled the pedals frantically, wishing she could make the wheels fly.
It's all thanks to the terrible and pathetic social phenomenon of 'not helping' people in the previous life.
So when Xia Yuhuan saw someone fall to the ground, her first reaction was not to immediately go forward to help them up, but to think about whether she should help them up and whether she could help them up.
Although she is a doctor and can heal the sick and save lives, she had seen too many news reports of people getting into trouble while helping others in her previous life.
If you get extorted and settle the matter by paying money, that's considered a good outcome.
Some people do good deeds but are extorted, and because they are poor and cannot afford to pay that much money, they can only prove their innocence by dying.
There are also people who can afford to pay, but because they did good deeds, they didn't get a good reward. Instead, they were falsely accused and turned into villains. Many of them couldn't understand it, or they died of anger, or jumped off buildings.
Especially since surveillance wasn't widespread back then, she was even more worried.
With this worry in mind, and upon further observation, she felt even more uneasy.
This is the road leading to the military region. It is located in the suburbs. Although there are a few houses nearby, there is no vegetable market, so there is nowhere to buy vegetables.
But then an old woman who had fallen down while grocery shopping appeared before her.
If this person really was an old lady, Xia Yuhuan thought it was quite normal. Some elderly people just can't stay idle and are willing to travel a long way to the city to buy groceries and then come back, which is also normal.
But upon closer inspection, she discovered that the person was actually an old woman in disguise, not a real old woman. Instantly, Xia Yuhuan's vigilance was heightened.
She immediately turned and ran without hesitation.
If Xia Yuhuan didn't run away from such an obviously problematic scene, but instead went to help people, then she would be truly brain-dead.
Gangzi and Curly rushed out of the bushes.
He raised his hand and tapped Xiao Er on the head, who was still trying to call Xia Yuhuan back.
"Alright, stop shouting. They've already run far away, what's the point of shouting anymore?"
Xia Yuhuan clearly ran away after realizing something was wrong. At this point, even if you shout until you're hoarse, she won't come back.
Gangzi thought to himself, his eyes gloomy.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yuhuan was so vigilant. Originally, they wanted to use her meddlesome nature to lure her into a trap, but she only noticed the slightest thing and turned around and ran away without hesitation.
This level of vigilance startled her today, making it even harder for her to make a move again.
Gangzi thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's catch up. We have to find a way to take them down today."
Xiao Er and Curly looked at him incredulously upon hearing this.
Curly Hair: "Gangzi, you want us to chase two wheels on two legs? Are you crazy?"
Xiao Er: "Yeah, Gangzi, even though there are two of them, we can't outrun two wheels on our own."
"Enough with the nonsense, hurry up! Who cares if we can catch up or not, let's chase them first," Gangzi snapped, frowning.
He certainly knew that a human leg couldn't catch up with a bicycle.
However, they were going to continue tracking Xia Yuhuan anyway, looking for an opportunity to make a move on her, so they would eventually have to go back, and there was no harm in chasing her.
Upon hearing this, his two companions had no choice but to follow him back.
On the other side, Xia Yuhuan was riding her bicycle very fast.
Her legs were practically shooting sparks out of them.
Xia Yuhuan turned her head to look back and, seeing no one chasing after her, immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she turned her head to look at the road again, she saw a large log blocking her way.
Xia Yuhuan was shocked and couldn't help but curse, "Fuck..."
She didn't dare to delay and quickly turned the handlebars, trying to turn onto the side road to avoid a direct collision.
But as soon as she changed direction, she saw a large log roll down from the hillside next to her, blocking the road she was about to walk on.
A thought immediately popped into Xia Yuhuan's mind: There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me.
With this thought in mind, Xia Yuhuan had no way to avoid it, and crashed into the wood along with her car.
The wheel deformed the moment of impact, and Xia Yuhuan was thrown into the air.
Xia Yuhuan fell heavily to the ground, feeling numb and in pain all over her body, and her consciousness immediately became hazy.
Her mind went blank for a moment, and in her hazy state, Xia Yuhuan saw someone standing on a hill looking in her direction through her blurred vision.
He seemed to be as if he knew exactly what was going on with her.
Before falling into a coma, Xia Yuhuan was filled with regret: What a pity, she didn't get to see what the person who wanted to harm her looked like.
Otherwise, she would curse the other person's ancestors for eighteen generations.
If she manages to escape danger and knows who the other party is, she will definitely retaliate without hesitation or reservation.
Unfortunately... I don't know if I'll be as lucky as I was when I transmigrated into the book before, and have a chance to survive.
The two men on the hill saw that Xia Yuhuan was unconscious and were about to get down when one of them suddenly pulled the other down, and the two of them squatted down at the same time.
Gangzi and his group arrived at the place where Xia Yuhuan had fainted.
"Brother Gangzi, it's Xia. She's still breathing, but she's unconscious." Xiao Er ran up to Xia Yuhuan, checked her breath, and hurriedly called out.
Gangzi was looking at the logs on the road and the badly damaged bicycle, his brows furrowed.
When they came over, there weren't these two logs, one horizontal and one vertical, blocking the way.
When Xia Yuhuan rode her bike over, there certainly wasn't one.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have reached their ambush location.
These two pieces of wood must have appeared on the road after Xia Yuhuan rode her bike past.
These two pieces of wood happened to be the cause of Xia Yuhuan's car accident and subsequent unconsciousness.
It was as if these two pieces of wood had appeared in this place specifically for Xia Yuhuan.
As Gangzi thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
He quickly looked around warily, even glancing up at the mounds of earth on either side.
But he saw nothing.
"Brother Gangzi, what do we do now? She's been knocked unconscious. Should we still proceed with the original plan?" Xiao Er asked again when he didn't respond.
