Chapter 263: Eager to Return Home, Encountered a Snowstorm and Landslide



"Hahaha!" Laughter came from behind.

Wang Baozhu looked at their miserable appearance and sneered with her hands covering her mouth.

"Oh, hurry up and run. You won't be able to run any further if your thick thighs are full."

Lin Yazhi covered her stomach and turned to look at them angrily.

The hatred in his eyes is about to overflow. He really takes the initiative to come forward and get scolded every time.

She turned and left, probably not going to come to Jiang Manyue's shop to be bullied again.

Business was good during the winter vacation, but we finally closed on the 28th day of the Lunar New Year.

Qin Zhenbei didn't have annual leave, but he still took two days off to accompany her back to town.

"Full moon!" Jiang Wan put the gifts he had bought long ago into the car.

"This is some good wine and cosmetics prepared for your uncle and aunt. It's a little gift from your father and me."

"And these are your favorite foods. You can eat them slowly on the way."

"Zhenbei, drive slower. I heard it's snowing everywhere lately."

"Mom and Dad, don't worry!" Jiang Manyue held the old couple's hands: "I will be back in a few days."

This was Jiang Manyue’s first year back home, so of course she couldn’t just leave her parents alone to celebrate the New Year.

She will be back on the second day of the Chinese New Year and will accompany the two elderly people then.

Qin Zhenbei smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry, I will definitely send them back safely!"

Wang Baozhu bought so many things that the trunk of her car was almost full.

"Sister, look, I bought new clothes for my parents, and also brought cakes for relatives and neighbors."

"When I called home earlier, as soon as they heard we were going home, they had already prepared a lot of delicious food in advance."

"Sister, the old house we bought has been renovated. We will live in the new house when we go back this time."

She was chattering non-stop, and it seemed like several months had passed.

When Jiang Manyue went back last time, the house was already half renovated.

I didn’t expect to go home for the New Year and move to the new house.

"That's great. I'm looking forward to it." Jiang Manyue nodded with a smile.

After various instructions, the three people finally got on the car and left the provincial capital.

It takes five or six hours to drive back to town, and normally they can get home around three or four in the afternoon.

My uncle and aunt must have started preparing the meal long ago, waiting for them to come home and eat.

As the heart yearns, the car naturally drives faster.

As soon as we left the provincial capital, snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

In a short while, the snow became heavier.

Everything around was white and visibility ahead became blurry.

Through the car window glass, you can hear the wind outside howling like ghosts, foxes and wolves, and snowflakes keep hitting the car window.

Qin Zhenbei drove cautiously and had to slow down.

"Full moon, judging by the situation, there should be a blizzard ahead!"

"I'm afraid it's hard to see the road clearly in such bad weather."

"Strange! I clearly listened to the weather forecast before setting off. There shouldn't be snow on this route."

Jiang Manyue looked around at the vast expanse of white and had a bad feeling in her heart.

It suddenly reminded her of her previous life, which seemed to be a blizzard and freezing weather that happened before the New Year.

The extremely cold weather that occurs once every ten years has caused many travelers returning home for the New Year to be trapped due to road landslides.

By the time rescue workers arrived at the scene, many people had frozen to death on the road due to traffic blockage.

The time was exactly February 13, 1984, the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year.

She was busy preparing New Year's goods at home when she heard the news on TV and radio.

There were several family members in the family compound who were rushing home to celebrate the Chinese New Year, but they were unable to do so because they were stuck on the road.

Jiang Manyue immediately looked at the time on her watch, and a chill ran down her back.

"Stop the car!" she yelled immediately. "Stop the car now! We can't go any further."

When Qin Zhenbei heard this, he immediately braked and the car stopped in the snow.

"What's wrong, sister?" Wang Baozhu, who was sleeping in the back seat, asked quickly, "What happened?"

"Zhenbei, let's not go back. Let's turn around and go back to the provincial capital right away."

How could she forget such an important thing? If she continued driving forward, she might really be trapped in the ice and snow.

The New Year is approaching and the weather is cold. If you are not careful, you may freeze to death on the road.

And she had to call the police quickly because she couldn't remember where the collapsed section of road was.

But it must be right to stop vehicles from taking this road, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.

Seeing her ugly face, Qin Zhenbei immediately took her hand: "Man Yue, what's wrong?"

"Landslides and blizzards will freeze people to death!" Jiang Manyue just said these words and the two people were shocked.

"Sister? What landslide? Where is the landslide?" Wang Baozhu was terrified just by hearing it.

"Zhenbei, believe me, we can't go back!" Jiang Manyue resolutely decided: "Turn back now."

"Okay!" Qin Zhenbei didn't ask too many questions. He just turned around and went back after hearing her words.

But the situation was not optimistic, the blizzard was getting stronger and stronger.

"Squeak!" The car seemed to be starting to slide, and it was obvious that the body was shaking and trembling as it started to move.

It was dark outside the window and the ground was starting to freeze due to the cold.

This situation means that the car's tires have frozen and are slipping, and continuing to drive will only make it more dangerous.

The road is not wide and the road and vehicles ahead are not visible clearly.

If they collided head-on, the consequences would be disastrous. Qin Zhenbei had no choice but to stop the car and said, "You two, don't get out."
