Chapter 499: Good Fortune

Shen Yanming did not go forward to comfort her, because he also wanted to cry.

Who would have thought that a branch thicker than an adult man's thigh would fall from a perfectly good road?

It was very tall, at least three and a half meters, with branches all over it, and the leaves on each branch were emerald green, very beautiful.

But it was this thing that almost cost the lives of the five people in the car!

He walked forward to look at the broken part, then looked up at the tall trees on the sidewalk. Finally, he was sure that it was an accident.

Because the fracture is uneven, some parts are very fresh, while others have obvious signs of being soaked by rain.

It seems that the branch was broken by the storm two days ago, but it was still partially connected at that time and did not fall to the ground.

I don't know what happened today, maybe the connection couldn't bear the falling weight, so such a big branch fell down.

But why didn’t Heping see the half-hanging branch when he drove over?

In fact, it's not really his fault, because the roadside trees in Hai City are all tall and big trees, and this branch was broken because it grew too well and was hit too hard by the wind.

The reason why it did not fall down immediately was that in addition to the connection of the branch part, the branches below also provided support.

Therefore, many of the fallen leaves on the ground are the bottom leaves that were knocked off when the branch fell.

Of course, Shen Yanming didn't have the heart to pursue these things now. Besides, it's not worth it to hold a tree responsible. Could it be that he could cut it down?

What he was worried about now was whether there would be more twigs or branches that were about to fall off on the way back to the escort team.

They were lucky to have escaped this time. If another accident happened, they would not know whether they would still be alive.

Zhang Heping finally let out his fear. Seeing Old Shen squatting on the ground looking at the branch, he asked, "Yanming, what do you think?"

Chen Yanming shook his head and said, "Let's move this branch to the side first, otherwise if a car comes, there will be another accident." After saying that, he stood up and bent down to pull the big branch.

Zhang Heping wanted to help Shen Yanming, but he stood up too quickly and countless little stars appeared in front of his eyes. He stumbled and almost fell.

Old Shen was quick, threw away the branch in his hand and supported him. He scolded: "Why are you in such a hurry? I don't blame you. You will get better slowly. If you fall or get hurt, do you want me to feel guilty?"

He spoke in a rather aggressive tone, which frightened Zhang Heping so much that he dared not speak.

Although Shen Yanming did not think that Zhang Heping was responsible for the accident, he was still a little angry. He could have suppressed his anger at first, but when he met someone who was causing trouble, he inevitably exploded.

Zhang Heping felt aggrieved, but he could only hide aside and pretend to be a quail.

Although Old Shen said he didn't blame him, he knew that he was responsible. If he hadn't sped up, the branch might have been broken by the time they got here. Then there wouldn't have been the emergency brake that followed, which scared everyone.

It's just that he was too timid to say these things out loud.

In fact, it’s okay to say it out loud, because Lao Shen is not the kind of person who would think about “what if”.

If he really thought about "if", would he have followed Zhang Heping's advice and stayed in the hospital for a few more days and came back when the weather cleared up completely, then these accidents would have avoided happening?

In this case, isn't it my responsibility?

If we continue to pull this off, we can also pull it off to Qiao An, Qi Lin, and Qi Xili. Isn't that too outrageous?

Well, fortunately, Shen Yanming is not a person who likes to find reasons in others. He looked at Zhang Heping with a pout, softened his heart, and said, "Come and help!"

Zhang Heping seemed to have a masochistic tendency. When he was shouted at like that, he sighed happily and ran to the other side to pull the branch to the side of the road with Shen Yanming.

Bi Qiaoan, who was sitting in the car, teased the two babies for a while and then looked out of the car through the glass.

Because she was sitting in the middle of the back seat with babies on both sides, her vision was not very good.

She took the baby who was not in a safety cradle into her arms, then moved to the left door and looked out. She found something blocking the front of the car, but due to the perspective, she could not see the whole picture.

She wanted to go down to take a look, but found that the rain seemed to be a little heavier. And before getting off the car, Shen Yanming repeatedly told her not to go out in the rain. She didn't want to upset him, so she decided to stay put.

Not long after, she saw her husband and Zhang Heping, each dragging a large branch, which was almost as thick as a small tree trunk.

She was shocked and at the same time deeply afraid. Fortunately, they were lucky, otherwise, they would have been in great danger.

After Shen Yanming and Zhang Heping threw the branch between two roadside trees, they patted their wet hands and prepared to get in the car.

Shen Yanming was fine, except that his clothes were soaked by the drizzle. They were either soaked through or damp, the kind that you couldn't wring out any water from.

But it was not the same for Zhang Heping. His shirt was fine, but his pants and shoes were all wet.

He stood there awkwardly, too embarrassed to get in the car and disturb Lao Shen's driver's seat. But there were few people here, and they delayed for more than ten minutes without seeing anyone. It was not easy to go back to the hospital.

Shen Yanming glared at him, said "It's your turn!", and got in the car.

Then I looked at someone standing alone, staring at the car window, and I felt bad.

He cursed, "I really owe you!" Then he took out a pair of his pants from his backpack, got off the car and threw it to someone, saying, "Change them outside or in the car, it's up to you!"

He didn't want to care about someone who was courting death, but could he just ignore it? He couldn't just leave Zhang Heping where he was when he knew there was a potential danger outside!

Zhang Heping took the pants, feeling grateful in his heart but hesitant on his face.

If he changed outside, wouldn't that be like an exhibitionist? Although there might not be surveillance cameras around, what if a car passed by and saw his embarrassing situation?

But if he went back to the car, he would still get the seat wet and dirty, which would go against his original intention. Besides, his brother's wife was in the car, and even if she closed her eyes and didn't see, it was not appropriate for him to undress in front of her.

Seeing someone still fussing at this time, Shen Yanming said unhappily: "You felt relieved when you sat on the ground, why didn't you think about the embarrassing situation you would face next?"

Zhang Heping said guiltily, "I, I was emotionally broken at that time, my mind was blank, and I just wanted to cry to vent. I was afraid, afraid of hurting you, Qiao An, and the two little babies."

In fact, Shen Yanming noticed from the beginning that when Zhang Heping spoke, he always only mentioned their family of four and did not consider whether he was safe at all.

He knew it was his subconscious.

So, no matter how angry you are, it will all disappear.
