Chapter 610 Has this calamity been overcome or not?
Li Juexing tried his best to recall the scene at that time, and felt more and more grateful that he could still sit here and talk to his family.
"The front window of the car was completely gone, and the rock was really less than ten centimeters away from Uncle Wang's leg. After the incident, Uncle Wang held the empty steering wheel and was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses. Even now, he still can't believe that he is still alive."
Li Juexing pursed his pale lips and murmured, "Really...really it was just a hair's breadth away. If the car hadn't suddenly stopped, that rock would have hit..."
Upon hearing Li Juexing's words, everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
If the car had been moving normally at the time, the rock would have landed a little further back.
Everything happens in the blink of an eye, but in just a fraction of a second, a change of location can cost one or even two lives!
“We were so scared our legs went weak, especially Uncle Wang. He really brushed with death and is still like a lost soul. He can’t explain anything clearly.”
Hearing this, Li Weiming finally came to his senses. He was both relieved and furious. He said, "You went to the mountainside. What did I tell you before you left? Don't go near the mountain. Don't go near the mountain. You've been having a run of bad luck with mountains lately. You might accidentally bring disaster upon yourself. Why didn't you listen?"
As Li Weiming spoke, he jumped off the bed in anger and paced around the room.
Seeing him like this, Li Juexing finally relaxed a little and said in a good-natured manner, "Yes, yes, it's my fault. I didn't take your words to heart and almost caused a disaster. I apologize to you."
"Hmph, those who don't listen to their elders will suffer the consequences. Bah, no, I'm not a villain." Li Weiming, still feeling frustrated from the suffering he'd endured these past few days, couldn't help but grumble a few more times, "You didn't listen to your younger brother, and now you're suffering the consequences. Let's see if you dare question what I say or doubt my friends again!"
Upon hearing Li Weiming's words, Li Juexing finally remembered the main point of his phone call and subconsciously clenched the only remaining amulet in his hand.
"Xiaoming, the talisman you gave me before you left, was it also given to you by that same master?"
"Yes, I bought them from her, 100,000 each, and I bought five in total. I kept one for myself, and I gave you the rest."
When Mr. Li heard that his youngest son had bought something from someone, and at such a high price, he frowned, wanting to scold him.
But when she thought about what her eldest son had encountered this time, and his ambiguous question at the moment, she swallowed back the reprimand that was on the tip of her tongue and decided to wait and see.
After Li Weiming finished speaking, he quickly realized that his brother wouldn't ask this for no reason: "Brother, why are you suddenly asking this? Is it... is it because the amulets I gave you worked?"
"……Um."
Li Juexing's feelings about this matter were undoubtedly quite complicated.
Just a few days ago, he was confidently accusing his younger brother of being scammed, but a few days later, he was saved by the very thing he had questioned.
After the incident, they were all in a daze.
Li Juexing was alright. He was sitting in the back seat. The front of the car was smashed, all the windows inside were shattered, and the car body was twisted to some extent. It took him a while to climb out of the back seat.
Uncle Wang's situation was relatively more complicated. The stone had crushed the front of the car, and the doors on both sides of the driver's seat were jammed and could not be opened at all.
Uncle Wang's position was rather awkward; he was almost completely stuck inside. Although he wasn't in any immediate danger, he was unable to move.
Li Juexing searched the back of the car for a long time before finding a suitable tool. He tried to pry open the door and pull the person out.
Just as he was about to succeed, Li Juexing suddenly heard a gasp from inside the car. His heart skipped a beat, and he almost thought something strange had happened again.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that something inside the car had spontaneously combusted!
Before the incident, the car jolted, causing one of the amulets Li Juexing was holding to fly forward and land on the small table next to the driver's seat where miscellaneous items were placed.
As soon as Uncle Wang was rescued, the talisman spontaneously combusted.
All of this was too coincidental and too mysterious. Before Li Juexing could think much about it, he subconsciously looked at the back seat where he had just been sitting and saw a pile of black ash from burnt talismans.
As if sensing his gaze, a gentle evening breeze rustled by, and when they looked again, there was nothing left inside, as if everything that had just happened was merely their illusion.
“But I’m certain that it was absolutely not my hallucination! Later, I searched inside and outside the car and found two more talismans. I gave one to Uncle Wang, and the other is in my hands now.” Li Juexing said, showing the family the only peace talisman he had left.
Mr. Li's face twisted slightly, still somewhat conflicted: "Ah Xing, are you really sure this isn't just a hallucination caused by your excessive nervousness?"
"Dad!" Li Weiming was furious. Facts speak louder than words. Even now, his father still wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin!
Li Juexing could understand his father's inner turmoil. He sighed and said seriously, "Dad, I can assure you that this is not my hallucination. Everything is true."
"Although...although this is indeed a bit hard to accept, we have to admit that some things in this world are really more...incomprehensible and inexplicable than we imagine. It's just that we haven't met anyone we can trust before."
"Alright, alright, it's good that the child is alright, why bother with this?" Madam Li's words gave the father and son a way out. "Ah Xing, how's your checkup going? Are you alright?"
"It's okay, everything's fine."
"Is Uncle Wang alright too?"
"He's fine, but he's still a bit disoriented and might need some time to process it."
Mrs. Li was finally completely relieved: "Are you coming back now? What about the mountain problem that Amin mentioned? Is it resolved or not? Are you safe now? Do you need us to come and pick you up?"
Madam Li's words reminded Li Weiming and his son, who were still arguing, and also made Li Juexing force a smile: "That's why I was so anxious to call Xiaoming. If what he said is true, and that master is really capable, then have I survived this ordeal or not? If I go back and take the mountain path now, will I encounter something similar again? If I don't take the mountain path, which direction should I go to be safe?"
If that were the case, he and Uncle Wang would only have this one life-saving charm left. Could they really make it home alive?
Li Juexing's words successfully changed the expressions of the three people in the family, which is why Li Weiming is now having this phone call with Ye Wanxi.
