Chapter 101: Risking Your Life
People are strange. Their reason tells them that even if they go, nothing can be changed since what is supposed to happen has already happened. However, their emotions are so impulsive and sentimental that they cannot care about anything.
The three of them hurried to the machinery factory. Despite the discussions about Gaoyun Bridge and Houwei Street everywhere they went, they successfully got a vehicle and left Gushi.
As Fu Jiaming said, the car he drove was indeed very stable. Even though the road was bumpy, it was not that bumpy and the speed was not slow.
Luohu is located in the south of the ancient city and belongs to the west of Yuan County.
If you take the national highway from Gushi to Yuanxian, it will take less than two hours, but you will need to turn back a long way and then go to Luohu.
If you choose to take the mountain road that goes directly to Luohu, it will take more than three hours.
Because there are many mountainous and winding roads along the way, it is still quite dangerous for people who are not familiar with the road conditions to encounter such heavy rain.
"Didn't Luo Shuangshuang mention that she would take that route?"
Shaking his head, Suning looked at the mist outside the car window, speculating secretly in his heart.
"Go to the mountain road." "Go to the road lane."
They spoke in tacit understanding once again, and the two people sitting in the back row couldn't help but look at each other and smile brightly.
This also made Fu Jiaming, who was holding the steering wheel in front, utter a sour sound. He suddenly turned the car and drove onto the mountain road on the right, "Got it~"
"Yan Bei, if you don't mind I would like to borrow your hand."
“Crunch—”
This time, Xiaoqiu was not in the middle, so there was a large empty space between the two of them.
If she wanted to make an unintentional touch, it would be very awkward for her to reach out unless the driver cooperated.
She never expected that her words with ulterior motives would frighten the two grown men to varying degrees.
The car driven by Fu Jiaming actually drove in a serpentine manner towards him.
Even though he was wearing a calming topaz, it couldn't stop the fireworks from exploding in Yan Bei's mind. Not only did it cause him to become temporarily blind and deaf, but his blood pressure also skyrocketed and his face felt like it was burning.
“…”
Should we thank them for their cooperation?
Just as she finished her words, one of them helped to create an opportunity, and the other one grabbed her outstretched hand before she could react, and used his other hand to protect the back of her head.
"Ahem~ Sorry, sorry, my hand slipped!"
"Did you get hurt?"
"It's okay, you can let me go now."
Pretending to be calm, Yan Bei loosened his hands, clenched his fists under his nose, and his eyes were wandering. He didn't dare to glance at her again.
And Su Ning, who had indeed foreseen the scene, lowered his eyes and was also confused.
He let out a breath, composed his expression, then raised his head, took the geography booklet that was spread out on the passenger seat, and spread it flat on his knees.
The fingertips moved along the route on the booklet little by little until they stopped somewhere.
"What's wrong?"
Her complexion returned to normal and her temperature dropped before Yan Bei turned his head. When he noticed that something was wrong with her expression, he quickly asked her about it, and his eyes fell on the point on her fingertips.
"I have a bad feeling. Look here... and this place is close to the mountain wall. As far as I know, most of the mountains in Gushi are made of quartz sandstone. If there is a mudslide in Nanxi Mountain..."
"So Luo Shuangshuang and the others might really be in danger?"
For a while, none of the three spoke, and the atmosphere in the car was a little depressing.
Yan Bei picked up the atlas and stood up and placed it in front of Fu Jiaming, telling him the places that Su Ning had just pointed out, "Don't think too much about it yet, Jiaming, pay more attention to these locations."
"While you worry about others, you also have to pay attention to your own safety."
"good."
…
With something on his mind, Suning did not suffer from severe motion sickness this time. He looked at the increasingly difficult mountain road outside the car and estimated the distance to the place where the accident happened that he had seen in the picture before.
Until I could vaguely see a hint of inconspicuous green hidden in the white mist in the distance.
But Suning was inexplicably certain that the big tree that was uprooted and fell across the middle of the road was the culprit. His breathing began to become disordered and his hands unconsciously clutched the front seat tightly.
"Jiaming, be careful!"
"Gah—squeak—"
The sound of emergency brakes echoed throughout the entire mountain road, and the tires made an extremely harsh friction.
After a very dangerous situation, the car finally stopped steadily less than half a meter away from the trunk of the big tree.
"I knocked it!"
Fu Jiaming was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and cursed loudly. Fortunately, Suning reminded him in time, otherwise he would have to report down hand in hand with his good friends.
"I can't get through... Hey, look!"
It was raining heavily, and the fog in the mountains was blown away by the strong wind, revealing a shocking scene not far away.
…
Perhaps in order to avoid a suddenly fallen tree or perhaps because the road was slippery, the bus skidded left and right and crashed head-on into the mountain wall.
The front of the car was badly damaged and deformed, and what was worse was that the door could not be opened at all because it had flipped over. The violent impact caused the rocks, which had already been loosened by the rain, to roll down, and a landslide occurred at the rear.
Most of the car body had been dented by the rubble, and broken glass was splattered all over the ground.
What was even more dangerous was the continuous flow of mud, water and rocks that were flowing down the landslide. It wouldn't be long before the mud and rocks would completely submerge the car.
Luo Shuangshuang, who was still talking to her family the moment before, only heard a loud noise in front of her, followed by her family's screams and the driver getting on the ground in panic and cursing.
By the time she came to her senses, she was somehow thrown out of the car window and rolled several times until she felt a sharp pain in her forehead, her vision suddenly went black, and she lost consciousness.
The piece of black jade he wore around his neck was now exposed outside his clothes, with two deep cracks appearing on it.
If Su Ning saw it, she would know that in just that instant, she had experienced two fatal crises.
Luo Shuang woke up with a frown on his face, until the heavy rain made his face hurt. His eyes were still blank, and he didn't know what had happened.
"Help... Is there... Is there anyone... to help..."
The intermittent cries for help gradually reached her ears, and only then did she feel as if her soul had returned to her place, and she woke up completely.
Just now, it seemed like there was a car accident?
"Where are my parents and my eldest brother?"
She was thrown off the car, and all she had was a big bump on her forehead and a few scratches on her elbows and thighs?
After checking the wound and finding that it was not serious, Luo Shuangshuang endured the pain and stood up quickly. When she saw the overturned railway car in front of her, her eyes were bloodshot.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother!"
Gu had no choice but to be thrown out of the car like her, with blood flowing out and only the woman who was weakly calling for help was left.
In front of Luo Shuangshuang was the overturned cart. Her legs were so weak that she pounded them madly. After the stinging and numbness from the ant bites passed, she staggered and began to run over there.
"Don't...don't go, wu, save...save me..."
The pace did not stop, and even quickened. Tears streamed down Luo Shuangshuang's muddy face, and she kept mumbling silently: I'm sorry, I'm sorry...
She is just an ordinary person, and she cannot be so selfless and loving as to ignore her family members who are also in danger for the sake of saving the lives of strangers.
When she came to the front of the car and wiped the mud and tears off her face with the clothes on her shoulders, she saw clearly that the car door was not on the front but pressed down on the ground, and the window on the other side was at the top.
"What should I do? What should I do!"
Anxiety, worry, panic and all kinds of emotions surged into Luo Shuangshuang's heart, making her want to cry and scream.
'Next time you encounter a dangerous situation, Grapefruit, remember to stay calm. Only when you are calm can you be rational and come up with countermeasures.'
"Yes, calm down, calm down, I need to calm down!"
After slapping herself hard with her backhand, Luo Shuangshuang bit her lips and trembled her fingertips. She slowly regained her composure in the collision of the two extreme touches of the cold rain and the hot face.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered that every bus on this line had an iron ladder-shaped structure at the rear.
At first she asked out of curiosity, and her brother explained its purpose to her.
He immediately circled around the car body and successfully found the ladder that was covered in mud and water and could not be seen in its original appearance. Luo Shuangshuang happily walked forward and began to climb.
When she finally climbed onto the roof of the car and looked in through the broken window, the tragic scene inside was unbearable to look at.
"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, did you hear me? Can you please say something back to me?"
"dad!"
"Mother!"
"Brother, please get back to me!"
Unable to find anything handy, Luo Shuangshuang could only use her hands to smash the broken glass that blocked her from crawling down, while shouting in a state of near collapse.
“Again…Again…”
