"It will take a long time for you to drive to the county town from here, and there is ice on the road. Don't leave in a hurry. Stay here for one night and set off tomorrow morning. It will be dark in two or three hours, and it gets dark early now." The village party secretary came over and found Bai Song and the other two and made another invitation.

In the eyes of the village party secretary, the work would only be complete if these people were invited to stay for dinner. How could they finish their work without eating?

The winter in Northeast China is too cold, so the food culture here is quite special in order to keep warm. The first is that the food is large and filling, and the second is that the calories are off the charts. In this latitude, if you use the soup culture of Guangdong Province and the spicy soup culture of Henan Province, you will basically freeze to death... You have to have a big pot of meat. In this case, if a friend comes over and doesn't let him eat enough, it is absolutely not okay.

"We still have work to do, so we have to go back early." Bai Song felt that the village party secretary was too enthusiastic, and the three of them could hardly bear his enthusiasm.

"No, no, it's too late and it's really unsafe. This way..." Before the village party secretary finished speaking, Bai Song's phone rang.

The village party secretary had prepared a lot of words, but after seeing this scene, he did not continue the invitation and let Bai Song answer the phone first.

In his opinion, this was not a big deal. The main thing was to delay it for two hours and then they would have eaten it all.

"What's the matter?" Bai Song asked immediately when he saw that it was Wang Liang's call. Normally, Wang Liang would send WeChat messages when there was nothing important, and usually call when there was something urgent.

"Are you okay?" Wang Liang asked anxiously.

"It's okay," Bai Song said, a little confused. "The three of us are here and haven't set out yet. What could go wrong?"

"That's good," Wang Liang breathed a sigh of relief. "After you guys went there, I was worried about what might happen to you. I've been keeping an eye on some local events. Just now, I suddenly saw a car accident in the area. I was shocked. I thought it was you!"

"No," Bai Song shook his head, "It's impossible for me to be followed from the beginning to the end of this trip."

"Then I don't care. I'll be relieved that you are all okay." Wang Liang felt relieved.

Listening to Wang Liang's concern, Bai Song felt a little embarrassed: "We are three people out here, you are too sensitive. The weather here is cold and icy, so car accidents are normal. But what kind of car accident is this? Can it be on the news?"

"The pictures taken by netizens are not very clear. They say that the bus fell into the ditch and overturned. Now the fire department is rushing there. But I looked at the map and they can't get there in an hour. I'm worried that it's your car." Wang Liang said.

"We rented a four-wheel drive A4 for one day, so it doesn't matter if we spend an extra two hundred yuan on the rental fee." Bai Song asked, "Where is that place you said? Is it near us?"

When Bai Song heard about this kind of thing, he felt that if he was closer, he should go and take a look. It was not his character to watch someone in danger without helping.

"You might as well go and take a look," Wang Liang said, "and see if there are any other reasons. What if they are really targeting you?"

"Are you saying it's a mistake?" Bai Song was talking on the phone, and he shook his head gently: "Impossible. But, it's close to me, so I'll go over there. Please send me the address."

"Okay," Wang Liang hung up the phone and sent a message to Bai Song.

Bai Song took a look and saw that it was only a dozen kilometers away from him.

"What's the matter?" The village party secretary saw Bai Song hung up the phone and asked, "Is there a car accident somewhere?"

"Well," Bai Song showed the village party secretary a map, "It's only about ten kilometers away. It will probably take more than an hour for the ambulance and fire truck to arrive. The three of us plan to go over and take a look."

"This place..." The village party secretary frowned, "This is a big hillside with a bridge hole underneath. If we roll down from it, it will be troublesome. If it is really a bus, this is no joke. Let me call a few people to go with you."

"Okay." Bai Song said and walked out.

This kind of thing is really not uncommon in rural areas. Regular car accidents in winter and cars rolling into ditches happen every year. Villagers are basically willing to help, and no one has ever asked for compensation before helping. Generally speaking, the rescued car will give some money, cigarettes, etc. as a thank you, but this is another matter, and no one actively asks for it. Of course, if this kind of money and cigarettes are not given, the driver will be embarrassed and lose face, and will be looked down upon.

More than ten kilometers is not very close for rural people. The village party secretary had a car and called three people from the place next door where they were playing cards. They brought tools such as shovels, crowbars, and axes, and someone else brought a few large quilts. Then the two cars set off.

Bai Song had a navigation system, but he didn't dare drive too fast. It was just after three in the afternoon and there was almost no ice on the road. Their car had snow tires, so it was effortless for them to move forward. They didn't have to wait for the car behind them and arrived at the scene in 20 minutes.

This side is a big slope, and it is a bit shady. The slope is east-west, with mountains on the south and a downward slope on the north.

The slope was not too steep, there were steps on it, and there were guardrails, which were high enough for ordinary cars but far from high enough for buses.

There was no way to park on the side of the road, so Bai Song could only jam the car on the right side of the hillside, drive up the hill a little, get off and jam the wheels with stones, and then drive towards the hillside.

From the tire tracks on the road, it can be seen that the car lost control after running over ice on the road. The ice was very slippery because it was in the shade, and the driver did not control the car well, which directly caused the car to lose control and roll down the hillside.

The three of them walked to the other side of the road and took a look down the hillside. Bai Song found that this matter was not that simple.

People from the nearest village have come to help. There are twenty or thirty people below, trying to lift the car, but they cannot do it.

Bai Song and others walked along the stairs, which were also covered with ice, so they could only walk down slowly. When they got down, they saw that a lot of blood had flowed next to the car, and the blood had frozen.

"Have you brought any tools?" Several people came over and asked, "Come and help, there's someone stuck under the car!"

Bai Song and his two companions quickly ran over and found that the car was stuck in the ditch. All the windows were broken. Most of the people in the car were out, but four or five people were trapped in the twisted car. In addition, there should be two or three more people under the car. Not far from the car, there was a body lying there. It was confirmed that the person was dead, with obvious impact injuries and sprains on his body.

There were more than a dozen injured people. Some of them have been taken to the nearest village, and a few with minor injuries are still saving people here.

The main body of the car has been pushed up a little by the jack. Looking down from here, there are two or three people twisted and crushed inside. Bai Song is quite experienced and he knows very well that these two or three people are most likely dead.

Many people do not wear seat belts when riding buses in rural areas. This is probably because the car rolled a few times and the glass shattered, and the person was thrown out halfway, got stuck on the window, and was then crushed underneath the car.

This is only the case in rural areas. In cities, many people would be so scared when they see a dead body that they would lose their souls. How could they have the courage to save people?

This situation was very troublesome. We could only gently lift up the car. The car body had been deformed, and there were still four or five people in the car who could not get out. If we used another car to violently pull the car away, the people inside would inevitably suffer secondary injuries. But time waits for no one, and the people who were trapped were already in danger of death.

Bai Song knew that even if the village party secretary and others came, there would be no good solution to the situation. The bus was too heavy and no one had the ability to lift it, not to mention that the bus was still stuck in the ditch.

There were broken glass and bent car frames everywhere. Bai Song looked at the situation and carefully analyzed the structure of the car: "We need one person to go in and rescue it. The others need to find more wood and prop up the car as much as possible."

"People go in? How can they get in? No one can get out from here." Someone immediately objected.

"I'll just go in. You guys protect me. Don't let the car sink any further. And don't let it slide any more. If it moves, someone will die. Dig up the surrounding area. Make sure the car is stable."

Bai Song took the leadership here without any explanation. Before this, everyone wanted to save people, but there were too many wounded and some people had died. Even though there were so many people, they exerted very little strength.

"Shuyuan, you command everyone, Huadong, you look around carefully and make sure the car doesn't suffer from a serious imbalance of force!" Bai Song has already spotted a road. Someone must have climbed out here, and more than one person.

Soon, Bai Song got in, and the people in the car immediately became excited. They knew that Bai Song was not a firefighter, and the car was not big, so they could hear what was said outside, but they felt much more at ease when someone was willing to come in.

"Don't move, everyone. As long as the car doesn't move, everything will be fine!" Bai Song was afraid that everyone would move around and cause the car to deform further, which might squeeze and hurt others.

"My arm is broken, ahhhh," a man in the car groaned in pain.

"I'm so cold, I feel like I'm freezing to death. I'm in the car without any thick clothes, I..."

"Yeah, it's so cold..." said several other people inside.

It's minus 20 degrees here. The car is like an iron cage now. I can't stand wearing a coat for such a long time.

"The quilts will be here soon and can be sent in, don't worry," Bai Song calmed the people down while crawling towards the place where the people were being pressed down.

Two people were crushed, a man and a woman. The man was probably in his forties, his face was already blue and purple, Bai Song touched it lightly and confirmed that he was dead. The other was a young woman, who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, her face was barely rosy, but a steel pipe was inserted into her stomach, which was used as a handrail on cars. Judging from her condition, she was almost out of breath and had lost a lot of blood.

At this time, the village party secretary and others came and began to stuff quilts in from different angles, and also stuffed a crowbar into Bai Song's body.

Bai Song tried to pry it open, but it was no use. There was no place where he could use force. It was completely stuck.

Now, unless three or four firefighters come in and cut off this entire area, the people cannot be rescued.

"I..." When the girl saw Bai Song, her lips kept trembling, as if she wanted to say something.

Bai Song knew that this must be the last words from the girl. He had no other choice but to look at her.

"Help me...tell him that I...I love him." The girl looked at Bai Song. She said this clearly, but it seemed that she had used up all her strength.

Shortly after she finished speaking, the girl's vital signs dropped sharply and she died right before Bai Song's eyes.
