Chapter 3 "Panpan, why did you go out just now...
“Oh my god!!”
When a large motorcycle suddenly appeared from behind, Xu Chunhua's mind went blank and her legs and feet became as soft as noodles in an instant.
"Spring flowers!!!"
The old man in the distance seemed to be crazy and ran over in panic.
Until this time, Xu Chunhua, who was almost hit, finally came to her senses. She looked at the motorcycle that had just brushed past her feet, and her granddaughter who was standing seven or eight meters away from her and had just hit the motorcycle with a brick, seemingly saving her.
Everything that just happened happened so fast that Xu Chunhua is still a little confused.
"What's going on?"
“Oh my god!”
"Isn't this the precious child of Director Li's family?"
"It's him. He's the only one in our village who bought such a big motorcycle."
The Chen family had been shouting outside just now, which had already alarmed some of the nearby families, and then there was the unusual collision sound.
Even though it was freezing cold outside and everyone was busy preparing and eating dinner, the families living near the spring almost opened their doors and came out upon hearing the loud noise.
Seeing the damaged stone pillar guardrail of the mountain spring outside, the roaring motorcycle lying beside it, and the young man wearing a red helmet groaning not far away, everyone was curious and excited. Some people quickly recognized the fallen person or the fallen red motorcycle.
"Old lady, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thank goodness I just—"
As everyone checked on the injured person and the large red motorcycle, Xu Chunhua, who had been startled earlier, tried to comfort her frightened husband. She pointed at her granddaughter, who was standing upright, and wanted to say that it was a blessing in disguise that she had hit the brick.
But at this moment, Chen Aiguo, who had seen everything from a distance and was almost scared to death just now, immediately interrupted her loudly: "It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay. Damn it, this reckless guy who almost killed someone on a broken motorcycle deserves to be killed."
"Brother Chen, that car almost hit my sister-in-law?"
Seeing someone in an accident, everyone's first reaction was to help and call for help. Even the motorcycle, whose front wheel was deformed by the collision, was helped to the stone pillar beside the clear water spring. At this moment, hearing Chen Aiguo, who was holding a red jacket, say this, a man of the same age immediately joined in with curiosity.
"That's right. Didn't you see that the tip of your sister-in-law's shoe was flattened? If it was just a little bit longer, she would have been crushed. Damn, even my Panpan was scared." Chen Aiguo raised his hand and patted his wife's arm. Then, with a dark face, he turned around and cursed, pulled Chen Pan, who had been standing straight beside him, and began to put a coat on Chen Pan.
"I was wondering why Panpan screamed so miserably just now!"
"Yes, I came out because I heard Panpan's scream and felt strange."
"Panpan must have been frightened just now. Look at how pale her face is."
"Damn, that's how these rich people are. They drive like crazy, like the road belongs to them."
"Well, you know what, even if someone else paid the most for the road in our village, it still belongs to them."
"His family did contribute part of the money, but wasn't the purpose of paying for the road so that everyone could buy cement from him? And when he paid for the road, didn't we all contribute to the construction? Didn't the other wealthy families in the village also chip in? Didn't the government also approve some funding? How come all this is suddenly attributed to his family? And the road is his? It's outrageous!"
"Okay, okay, what's the point of saying all this now?! Has the village chief been called? Has anyone from the Li family gone? Has anyone called the village doctor?"
While everyone was talking, someone ran out from behind and immediately started shouting loudly.
"Secretary, someone has already gone to the Li family to report the news."
"Someone from the village chief and Doctor Zhao has already gone to call for help."
Seeing the person in charge coming over, everyone who had been talking around Chen Aiguo and his wife fell silent. Some of the people surrounding Li Chengcai also quickly answered the village secretary's questions.
In fact, within just a minute or two, dozens of people had already come out to watch the excitement, and the already narrow Xincun Road was suddenly completely blocked. Some children even stood on the guardrail of the Qingshui Spring to get a better view, but they were quickly dragged down by their parents and several elderly people nearby, cursing and swearing.
"Okay, then everyone, please move back a little. Don't crowd around the injured Chengcai. Give him some air."
The young secretary, who was in his thirties, spoke subconsciously as he looked at the dense crowd. When everyone retreated a little, he stepped forward and squatted to personally check on Li Chengcai. He saw that his head and face were covered in blood, and his right leg and foot seemed to be in trouble. He seemed to be unaware of anything except for subconscious groaning.
He subconsciously frowned and shouted a few words at the other party, but when he got no response, he felt a little lost and decided not to bother Li Chengcai anymore, not daring to actually touch him.
Surrounded by an increasingly large crowd, Secretary Yang, who was in his thirties, looked at Li Chengcai and then subconsciously walked up to the other three parties surrounded by the crowd.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay? Is your foot injured?" Secretary Yang bent down slightly and looked seriously at Grandma Chen's big black cotton shoes, which were also patched.
"It was just the tip of the shoe that was pressed, but I wasn't really hurt. Luckily it was winter and I was wearing warm clothes, and the shoes were specially made a size larger, so I wasn't really hurt."
Xu Chunhua has never been stupid. As soon as her husband reminded her, she knew what to say.
After pointing out the gray mark on her right cotton shoe, Xu Chunhua began to talk about how dangerous her situation was and how frightened her granddaughter and husband were when the other car approached.
"Yes, I was scared to death. The motorcycle was just about to hit my grandma. I wanted to push her away, but I was too far away from her and couldn't. In the end, I could only watch the car pass by my grandma. Look, my grandma's trouser leg was also scratched."
From the moment his grandfather put the coat on him, Chen Pan regained his sanity.
At this time, she no longer thought about why she came back to life, or what the reason was for her coming back to life.
At this point, Chen Pan was thinking about how to successfully extricate their family from this matter.
Now is the 1990s when there was no surveillance in rural areas at all, not the 21st century when there are some surveillance cameras even in rural areas.
And even in her era, even with surveillance, if you suddenly hit someone with a brick before they actually hit you, you might not be completely safe.
So in the current situation, after Chen Pan reacted, he immediately pretended to be scared and told everyone about the dangerous moment just now.
"My grandma went out to buy meat and forgot to bring money. I ran after her to give her the money, and my grandpa ran after me to get my coat. Unexpectedly, just as we got here, we heard the sound of a motorcycle rubbing against the ground. I was just about to remind my grandma to move to the side when the motorcycle came over. He was riding the motorcycle at an angle, and the other motorcycle was also at an angle. I felt something was wrong at the time. Fortunately, my grandma was not at that turn, so she took two steps back, and then the man crashed directly into the stone pillar."
Actually, Li Chengcai, the man who bumped into her, was the one Chen Pan used to call Brother Chengcai. In her previous life, whenever she ran into him in the village, he would always politely greet her first. Seeing his politeness, Chen Pan, who had become increasingly introverted and silent, could only force herself to respond politely. But who would have thought that this man was the one who bumped into her grandmother in her previous life?
He was filled with hatred. Even though the other party was crying and wailing a few meters away, and there seemed to be a lot of blood on his head and face, Chen Pan instantly changed the way he addressed the other party.
"That's because he was driving too fast! Fortunately, my sister-in-law dodged quickly, otherwise--" Turning his head to look at the half of the concrete guardrail that had been completely crashed down behind him, Yang Gaoshan sighed deeply.
Everyone followed his gaze and looked again at the half-broken concrete pier that had fallen into the river. Their expressions all changed, and some people even talked about how lucky Grandma Chen was.
"It's your Dongzi who blesses you!"
Seeing Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen's expressions change at the same time, the older ones muttered in a low voice.
Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen, who were indeed frightened just now, were staring at the ditch below in a daze, nodding their heads blankly.
The village's only doctor, the village chief and the Li family who lived there came almost at the same time.
Everyone chatted about what they knew. Chen Pan pulled her grandmother up and told everyone in front of the Li family how Li Chengcai had nearly hit her. Xu Chunhua, having reacted, immediately took off her shoes and showed Li Chengcai's father, Li Decheng, the damaged shoes and the large hole that had suddenly appeared in her pants.
In the chaos, the anxious Director Li immediately took out his wallet and impatiently gave Grandma Chen a fifty-yuan bill.
As soon as they got the money, Chen Pan and Grandma Chen quickly calmed down.
When the people around saw Xu Chunhua easily get fifty yuan, they all looked at them with envy and jealousy. At this time, in everyone's eyes, Grandma Chen Pan was not almost unlucky, but suddenly got lucky.
While everyone was surrounding Li Chengcai to check on him, Chen Pan also saw his grandfather, under the cover of darkness, taking advantage of no one's attention, put the brick that she had just hit someone with into his arms.
The Li family had a mobile phone. After seeing Li Chengcai in a daze with blood all over his face, they immediately called 120 at the suggestion of the village doctor.
As for 110, since there was no other car or motorcycle at the scene, and no one else was actually injured, besides Li Chengcai, the motorcyclist, neither they nor anyone else nearby had the idea to call the police.
When the ambulance in the town wailed and took away Li Chengcai, who was unable to utter a word except for subconscious groaning, the Chen Pan family, who had been outside for nearly an hour and a half, finally returned home.
When they came out, it was actually around five o'clock and there was still a little sunshine.
But when we came back, it was not yet half past six, and the entire Qingshui Village was already completely dark.
"Panpan, why did you take a brick with you when you went out just now? Why did you get so nervous when you heard your grandma went out just now?"
After returning home, closing the two doors and turning on the lights in the house, Grandpa Chen, with a serious expression, took out the red brick with serious cracks from his cotton-padded jacket.
"Yeah, Panpan, why did you come out to chase me without getting dressed? Did you know something in advance?"
Xu Chunhua still felt a little scared, but she was also very curious about this matter. So after entering the house, she followed her husband and quickly asked Chen Pan who was behind them.
