Chapter 103 Car Accident (8000 words, please subscribe and vote)
The rain keeps falling.

Wearing rain boots and holding a flashlight, Liang Cheng walked with his colleagues on the muddy village roads, checking house by house to see how many villagers had not yet evacuated.

The loud speaker kept repeating the same words: "The water is rising, the water is rising, all residents of this village must evacuate, evacuate! Go to the resettlement site set up by the village committee, go to the resettlement site set up by the village committee..."

In fact, the biggest difficulty at the grassroots level is not typhoons or floods, nor is it logistical supply.

Rather, it is the people who need to be relocated but feel their homes are safe.

The rural area is very large. In addition to some people living in the streets of the town, there are also some people who build their houses on the side of the mountain. There is a risk of landslides during heavy rains.

Those built near rivers or in low-lying areas may be flooded.

The villagers didn’t understand. They just felt that their houses were made of steel bars and red bricks and were very solid.

Little do they know that these are just a joke in the face of the mighty power of nature.

The difficulty lies in persuading them to follow the team.

The higher-ups don’t care what method you use. If someone dies in the end, it’s because you didn’t do your job well.

No matter how much the village cadres and the cadres stationed in the village took turns to persuade them, there were still some elderly villagers who refused to move to the village committee or other resettlement sites.

Liang Cheng felt so tired.

If kneeling and kowtowing would work, he would really kneel down and beg these people to follow him.

And these are just the preliminary work for flood prevention and control.

He has already called Teacher Zhong and told him that he has to work overtime tonight and will be staying in the company dormitory and will not be going home.

I said this just to reassure Teacher Zhong.

There are no dormitories at all. It’s lucky to have a place to sit on the stairs near the village committee. You may have to wait by the river or at the intersection until dawn.

Which grassroots worker these days has not experienced this?
Before I passed the exam, I thought, “I would even die if I could pass.” After I passed the exam, “I would rather die than not.”

In the current situation, it is estimated that there are few people here who are really willing to do this job. Maybe their awareness is not high enough.

But everyone still came.

Seeing the water level rising continuously, everyone present felt anxious.

After finally moving those stubborn villagers away, we had to carry hoes and work with the village cadres to clear the waterways.

The drainage conditions in the countryside are much worse than those in the city. If the drainage is not timely, the ground may sink at any minute. That is, a big hole suddenly appears under the hardened road, and the mud and sand underneath have long been washed away by the infiltration of water.

Fortunately, after nine o'clock in the evening, the rain gradually subsided.

As long as the rain doesn't fall continuously, it will be fine, which means there is enough time for the water to drain and no flooding will occur.

What I fear most is the continuous heavy rain.

However, this does not mean that Liang Cheng and his team's work is completed. They have to wait until the danger is completely lifted before they can let the people go home.

In short, tonight is destined to be an all-nighter.

……

the other side.

After taking a shower, Chen Jingle checked that all the doors and windows in the house were closed, then closed the door and returned to his room.

Considering that the rain was a bit loud tonight and it affected his reading state, he read until 8:30 and then switched to watching videos.

After this period of big data training, he can hardly get close to the beauties in the Odebiao Donkey Hoof Forging Competition.

Either he is cooking delicious food or he is traveling abroad as a blogger.

Pull the mouse wheel down and there will be another series of state banquet dishes.

Very good, that's it!
Watching food videos is good in all other aspects except that it makes you eat more. If you watch for too long, you will feel hungry and need to eat something.

Anyway, as he watched, the snacks and fruits ran into Chen Jingle's mouth by themselves.

Another benefit of watching videos is that time passes very quickly.

The era of short videos has had an impact on all previous information carriers, whether they are paper media, text novels, or long videos. People feel that their time is becoming increasingly insufficient.

When Chen Jingle finished his after-school study today, the sound of rain outside the window had stopped.

What he was thinking was: "I don't know if the rain is still falling in Liangcheng. I hope everything is fine."

I remember when I was a child, there was a typhoon and the situation was very serious. No one told us to evacuate or anything like that. My mother took me to the neighbor’s bungalow and hid there for a day.

When I came back the next day, I found that a lot of tiles on my roof had flown away.

Therefore, he knew very well how powerless ordinary people were when facing natural disasters.

In July this year, Jiangbei had a rain that lasted for half a month, and many places were flooded.

I didn't expect it to come again after more than two months.

Oh, that's trouble.

Although he was worried, it was time to go to bed, so he went back to bed as usual after solving his personal problems.

The lullaby the system sang to him tonight was somewhat appropriate.

It is the nursery rhyme "Catching Loaches".

[The pond is full and the rain has stopped]

[The mud beside the field is full of loaches]

【…】

Chen Jingle was full of worries, but fortunately with the help of the system, he fell asleep smoothly.

I didn't dream in between. Just like usual, I closed my eyes and opened them again, and the night passed by.

As for Liangcheng, although we are still at the resettlement site in the village committee building and have to go out for inspection from time to time, at least the rain has stopped.

There is some drizzle occasionally, which is no big deal.

In fact, he couldn't sleep in such a highly stressful working environment.

"It's better to wait until dawn and go back to work to sleep."

……

Just like that, the night passed.

At 6 o'clock in the morning, Chen Jingle woke up on time.

What made him feel fortunate was that although the sky outside was still gloomy this morning, the rain had stopped.

There was only the wet ground, indicating that it had rained last night.

After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Liang Cheng: "How is it?"

Although Liang Cheng was very tired and sleepy, he still replied: "It's not a big problem."

"That's fine."

Chen Jingle felt relieved.

Looking at the weather, I decided to go out for a run.

The air on campus feels fresh after the rain, and the playground track is very suitable for running when there is no water accumulation.

So he rode his electric scooter out and came to the teachers' college.

Sure enough, the quality of the newly built playground is very good, and there is no water accumulation on the track.

However, the NPC holding a book who usually appeared on the stands did not refresh today. I guess he thought that Chen Jingle would not appear in such weather.

I stretched my muscles first, and before I started running, I looked at the time. It took me exactly half an hour to finish the five-kilometer run. Then I did a few sets of squats and push-ups until I fell down from exhaustion.

But after doing all this, I felt comfortable.

[Baby is awesome! Successfully completed the exercise task and was rewarded with 0.1 kg of strength. The current strength is 44.6 kg.]

Chen Jingle was not very satisfied with the speed at which his strength increased. He felt that after training for a while, it shouldn't be this fast.

But when he looked at his not-so-obvious muscles, he fell silent again.

“Do we really need to use technology?”

No, he doesn't want to have a pointy head and keep saying "then let me ask you".

Slow down, just slow down.

Next, we went to the canteen to have breakfast as usual.

In this kind of weather, Chen Jingle didn’t really want to eat buns, so he changed it to century egg and lean meat porridge, plus a bottle of yogurt.

After a few mouthfuls of hot porridge, the body gradually warms up.

Due to the rain, fewer students got up early to have breakfast today.

……

On the way back after lunch, there were obviously a lot more cars on the road, all of them were rushing to work.

In addition to paying attention to the road ahead, Chen Jingle also had to avoid the small cars passing by on the road.

Especially those places where there is stagnant water.

Some idiots drive disgustingly, they drive fast on purpose and then splash water all over you.

If you can remember the other party's license plate number, you can ask him to pay some money. If you don't see the license plate clearly and he runs away, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

"呲-"

Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of tire friction, and a white car in front skidded, followed by a "bang" sound, and the car crashed directly into the green belt on the side of the road and did not move.

Uh, I actually witnessed a car accident.

Such a sudden change instantly attracted the attention of vehicles and pedestrians passing by on this road.

In fact, the speed of the white car was not very fast, but on a rainy day like this, there was water on the road and the road was slippery, so an accident could easily happen.

So you should be more careful when driving in rainy days.

After the accident, both cars and pedestrians were startled and deliberately slowed down and looked around.

Some people even took out their mobile phones to take photos and record videos.

But no one came forward to check the situation.

Since the damage to the car does not appear to be serious, the owner will most likely take care of it himself.

Chen Jingle's electric bike slowly drove past and took a look.

The car involved in the accident was a BMW 3 Series, and the owner was a woman.

The airbag deployed, but I don't know if the person might have fainted or was frightened, but he didn't respond because he was sitting in the driver's seat.

Chen Jingle was stunned and subconsciously braked his electric scooter. He looked left and right, then parked the car and went over to knock on the window.

"Hey, can you hear me?"

Isn't it already?
Fortunately, the car owner was still alive. Perhaps he heard the knocking sound and slowly turned his head.

There were no signs of injury on his head, but his face was pale and his eyes were unfocused. It looked like he was frightened and his reaction was a little slow.

"Open the window!" Chen Jingle shouted and gestured.

Maybe he was very scared, the car owner seemed to have weak hands and feet, and his hands were shaking, and he tried several times to open the window.

After the car window was rolled down, Chen Jingle first asked her: "Are you injured anywhere?"

The woman shook her head.

Chen Jingle reached in, opened the car door, unbuckled her seat belt, and carefully helped her out.

It seems that he was really scared.

When getting off the car, I felt that the other person's legs were weak. If Chen Jingle hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.

Chen Jingle first helped her to the side of the road, then opened the trunk of the car, found the tripod, ran to the back road to place it, and reminded vehicles coming from behind to be careful.

After doing all this, he pushed his electric donkey to the side of the road. Looking at the female owner who had recovered a little, he asked her, "Are you feeling unwell now?"

Zhou Manlin took a few breaths and shook her head: "No, my hands and feet are just a little weak."

Maybe I forgot to check the almanac before going out today. I was so surprised that an accident happened on such a short distance from home to the store.

Her speed was obviously normal.

As a result, the car suddenly skidded and lost control. She subconsciously stepped on the brakes and then crashed into the green belt.

What happened next was a bit confusing.

"Thank you."

Zhou Manlin looked up and said with a forced smile, she suddenly felt that this face looked familiar, she stared at it for two seconds and couldn't help asking: "Are you Beixing she..."

Chen Jingle glanced at her and asked in surprise, "Are you Teacher Li's friend?"

Zhou Manlin nodded mechanically.

Ah, I didn't expect that when I helped him casually, the other party turned out to be Li Beixing's friend. Jiang Bei is really young.

"But, I don't think we've met before?"

Chen Jingle wondered how the other party could recognize him.

Zhou Manlin paused and said vaguely: "I saw you two together before."

"The one at the milk tea shop?"

"Yeah, that store is mine."

"So that's how it is." Chen Jingle suddenly realized.

Considering that Li Beixing has a membership card of that store, it seems that the two of them should have a good relationship.

I asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital for a checkup?"

"No need, I just need to take it easy." Zhou Manlin shook her head.

In fact, it was just my first car accident. I was just too frightened for a moment, it’s nothing serious.

I've almost recovered now.

I just feel a little sorry for my beloved car, fearing that it will need a major overhaul.

"Then you report it to the traffic police and insurance company yourself?"

"Ah."

Chen Jingle looked at the car: "Do you have anything important in your car? Although there is no sign of fire at the moment, it is best to take out the valuables."

Zhou Manlin thought for a moment and said, "There is a cell phone and a handbag."

"Let me get it for you."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Chen Jingle helped her take out her cell phone and handbag, and also took out a thin jacket from the car.

When Zhou Manlin saw this, she was a little surprised, but also a little grateful.

It was a bit chilly this morning. My concentration was distracted just now, but now I’m back to it. When the wind blew, I suddenly got goose bumps.

Just put on your coat.

After standing up, her complexion looked much better and she looked at Chen Jingle with some curiosity.

Well, I have to admit that there is a big difference between me and what I see on the surveillance camera. I am much more handsome.

No wonder Beixing was moved.

Judging from his clothes and the faint smell of sweat, did he just finish exercising?

Are you so self-disciplined so early in the morning?

It’s a pity that he is a little thin. It would be better if he were a little stronger.

Chen Jingle checked the time and said apologetically, "If everything is fine, I'll leave first."

"Yeah okay... hey wait!"

Zhou Manlin called out to him: "Um, can you add my contact information? Thank you for saving me."

Chen Jingle smiled and said, "There's no problem with the contact information. It's too much to say you need help. You weren't injured anyway, and you can get out of the car by yourself after you recover."

"Who knows." Zhou Manlin curled her lips.

If she was unlucky and the car caught fire, and she was too weak to do anything, she would probably send it on the spot.

The two exchanged WX.

"Zhou Manlin, what's your name?"

"Chen Jingle."

Zhou Manlin set the note and watched Chen Jingle get on his electric scooter and wave goodbye to her until he disappeared in the distance. Then she started calling the insurance company and the traffic police.

By the way, I opened WX and sent a message to Li Beixing.

"Guess who I just met? That Chen Jingle. I admit that I was wrong before. You actually have good taste."

Li Beixing, who was supervising the students' morning reading in the classroom at this time, was stunned when he heard this.

Curious, "Where did you see him?"
