Chapter 186 The one seeking help
Not only Lin Qi, who had excellent hearing, heard the sound, but Xu Hexiao and Brother Tan also heard it.
The rain was so heavy that Xu Hexiao and Brother Tan didn't notice the person shouting at first, but Lin Qi noticed it immediately. The man was standing by the ditch 20 meters in front of them. He must have seen their car lights and was waving his hands at them.
The man was drenched by the rain. Next to him, a truck about the same size as theirs was stuck in a ditch. The truck was tilted with half of its body in the ditch.
Xu Hexiao continued to drive forward, and soon he and Brother Tan also discovered the man.
Xu Hexiao stopped the car and Brother Tan did not object.
"Don't move, you two." said Lin Qi in the truck.
Xu Hexiao and Brother Tan sat obediently in their seats. They did not move, but the man by the ditch walked over.
"Brother, is your car empty or full?" the man asked. Without waiting for Xu Hexiao and Brother Tan to answer, he continued, "I have a batch of urgent and important parts in my car. Can you help me transport them to the capital, to the machinery factory in the west district of the city?"
Xu Hexiao shook his head, "Our car is full."
The man looked a little depressed when he heard this. "Then can you go to the machinery factory in the west of the city to find Chu Congjun, the director of the production workshop, and tell him that Chu Guoan's car broke down on the way and ask him to pick him up. This is--"
"No, we'll help you lift the car up." Lin Qi interrupted Chu Guoan and handed the raincoat and plastic bucket shoes to Xu Hexiao through the window, "The two of us can go, Brother Tan, you don't have a raincoat, so leave it in the car."
Chu Guoan listened to Lin Qi's words. He couldn't see Lin Qi's appearance under the rain hat, but it was not difficult to judge from her voice that Lin Qi should be young. For a moment, he was a little helpless. "That car of parts, together with the car, weighs 30,000 to 40,000 kilograms. How can you two lift it?"
"You just go to the truck and we will lift it. It's up to you whether we can lift it or not." The rain was too heavy and Lin Qi didn't have much patience. As she spoke, she walked towards the truck in the ditch.
Xu Hexiao, wearing waders and a raincoat, followed with big strides.
"Brother, why don't you try to persuade them?" Chu Guoan wiped the water off his face, thinking that reinforcements had arrived, but he didn't expect that the people who came were some mentally ill people.
"Just do as they say, no problem." Brother Tan said with a smile. Although he also felt that it was impossible to lift a car worth thirty or forty thousand yuan out of the ditch, Lin Qi never boasted and never did anything without confidence, so he believed in Lin Qi.
Chu Guoan: “........”
Come on, none of these are normal.
Chu Guoan didn't go to the car, he just stood aside. He wanted to see how these two men lifted his car out of the ditch.
Half of the car was stuck in the ditch, with the two right wheels hanging in the air. The car was tilted quite seriously. If it weren't for the edge of the ditch, the car would have turned over completely.
Lin Qi walked to the left, without saying a word, grabbed the bottom of the car, and exerted force suddenly. The suspended side of the car suddenly fell to the ground, and the suspended part was replaced by the two wheels on the left. Lin Qi and Xu Hexiao lifted and pushed the car forward until the car landed steadily on the road, and then they stopped.
"Go to the cab, take off your clothes and give them to me. I'll put them in the back of the truck bed." Lin Qi said.
Xu Hexiao responded with a "good" and asked her, "Are the children okay?"
"They watched the rain falling outside the car, and listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the carport, and they listened very carefully." Lin Qi's tone was filled with a hint of smile, "Looking at them, they seem more energetic than when it's not raining."
Xu Hexiao curled his lips and said, "Maybe it's novel."
When Lin Qi and the other two's car drove away, the stunned Chu Guoan came back to his senses. Looking at the car parked intact on the road, he slapped himself hard.
"It hurts." Chu Guoan touched his face and murmured, "The scene just now was real, and those three people were real. The man and woman really lifted his car weighing 30,000 to 40,000 kilograms out of the ditch!"
Chu Guoan pinched himself to calm himself down, then climbed into the car and started it. Fortunately, the car just flipped over and was not damaged, so it could continue to drive.
Chu Guoan chased after the car in front of him.
It was unknown when the rain would stop, but if he followed the car in front of him, he should have no problem arriving in the capital safely.
We drove all the way until the evening, when we reached a place where there was no rain.
"It rained here, but the rain shouldn't be heavy." Brother Tan said. The road here was wet, but there was no water accumulation on the road, which made him feel relieved.
Xu Hexiao also relaxed, "I'll find a place with water to park."
The car continued to drive forward, and after three or four kilometers, they found the water source. It was a small stream flowing down from the mountain. The water was clear, but very shallow.
After the heavy rain, the air was fresh. Lin Qi got out of the car and suddenly felt more energetic.
"It seems to be colder here. But it may be because of the rain, so the temperature dropped." Lin Qi wrapped her clothes around her body and covered the children in the cradle with a blanket. "No bath tonight, just wipe their butts, faces and necks with hot water."
"Okay. It should be here tonight, and we can wash them tomorrow." Xu Hexiao said. He hadn't arrived in the capital yet, but he felt inexplicably excited. Besides being excited, he was also a little nervous.
He should be able to live a stable life in the capital with Qiqi and the children, right?
When Lin Qi and the other two started to make a fire to cook dinner, Chu Guoqiang's car arrived and stopped next to their car.
Chu Guoqiang had changed his clothes and shoes, and walked towards them with a bag as soon as he got off the car. "Thank you for your help just now. If it weren't for you, I would be miserable."
The car broke down on the road. Of course, it was a weather problem, but the factory had a heavy production task. If the task was not completed, not only him but also his father would have to take responsibility.
"It's just a small favor, don't take it to heart." Xu Hexiao said lightly.
"No, no, no, this is a great favor to me." Chu Guoan said seriously, "My name is Chu Guoan, and I'm a driver at the Chengxi Machinery Factory."
Chu Guoan subconsciously thought that Xu Hexiao and the other two were from the capital.
"My name is Xu Hexiao, this is my wife Lin Qi, and this is my friend Tan Renjie." Xu Hexiao did not mention his work unit.
Chu Guoan handed the things in his hand to Xu Hexiao, "I am 31 years old this year, so I should be older than you, so I will call you by your name. Hexiao, where do you live in the city? Come visit my brother when you have time."
Chu Guoan gave his home address, and his intention to make friends was obvious.
Xu Hexiao took his things but shook his head. "We haven't been to the capital yet. We are moving our family now and we don't know where we will live. I will inform Brother Chu after we settle down."
"Just moved here?" Chu Guoan was a little surprised. Looking at the two of them, the man was handsome, the woman was beautiful, and they both had extraordinary demeanor, he thought they were native people born and raised in the capital.
But if you listen carefully to the accent, it certainly doesn't sound like the capital's.
