"Ah, thank you, thank you!" The proprietress was very happy.

"Auntie, are you running the shop alone?" Tang Xin was a little confused when she saw this.

"Yes, I've been driving it for more than ten years. My husband used to drive it for me." She wiped the phone and put it in her pocket.

"And what happened to your lover later?"

"Later, a car accident took him and our child away. I was the only one left at home." Auntie said calmly, without any emotion.

Tang Xin and I were so shocked that we were speechless. No wonder the store looked a bit shabby. After all, it was really hard to run a store by one person.

"This shop is the only property my husband left me. You don't have to worry about me, I've let it go." She said with a smile, "When I can't do this anymore, I might go traveling with my friends to see the world. I'll take my husband and children with me to see the world."

After paying the bill, Tang Xin and I said goodbye to the proprietress and walked out of the noodle shop. The temperature outside seemed to have dropped a few degrees. I rubbed my hands and got into the car. Tang Xin did the same, quickly got into the driver's seat and started the engine.

"Do you dare to drive while tired this time?" I asked her.

"I don't dare anymore!" She shook her head like a rattle, and then asked me: "If, Xiaomeng... I mean if..."

"What if?" I put my hand on the air-conditioning vent to feel the warmth brought by the warm air.

"If one day... I also encounter an accident. What would you do?" She bit her lip and dared not look at me.

My expression froze on my face: "There won't be any accidents. I will definitely be with you for the rest of your life."

"What if something unexpected really happens? For example, I get a terminal illness or something."

"Stop talking nonsense!" I quickly covered her mouth and looked at her angrily.

"Just if."

"I don't know, but one thing is certain, I will definitely be very sad. I don't want to think about a future without you, I just want to live in a tomorrow with you." I grabbed her hand, and the hand I had just warmed was just enough to warm her cold palm.

"Hmm..." Tang Xin's face was red, and she didn't know if it was because of the air conditioner.

"Let's go to the hotel. I want to hug you." I looked at her, feeling a little emotional.

"Good~"

Chapter 53: Witnessing a Car Accident

Ring~Ring~The bedside phone rang, and I reached out from the warm bed and picked up the receiver.

"Hello, we are the hotel front desk. Miss, your room will expire at noon, do you want to renew it?"

"Ah? Oh, no thanks, we'll check out later." I rubbed my eyes, took my phone from the side and saw the time. It was already 10:30 in the morning.

"Okay, excuse me. Beep...beep..."

I put the receiver back on the landline and lay back down. Tang Xin seemed to have woken up because of my movement.

"Xiao Meng?"

"Have you slept enough?" I reached out and held her in my arms. She felt soft and comfortable.

"Well, I slept so hard that I don't even know what time it is. It seems like I slept for a long time."

"Yesterday you fell asleep right after taking a shower without even covering yourself with the quilt. You must have been exhausted, right?"

"Ah! That's right, no, no, I must make it up to you!" Tang Xin raised her head and looked at me, grinning.

"Wait... I'm about to leave, ah no, don't come in suddenly..."

.........

An hour later, I limped down the stairs with the room card in hand, supported by Tang Xin.

My eyes were filled with resentment. How could this girl be like a hungry wolf, ready to eat people at any time? She had just woken up and should be the most confused.

"check out…"

I handed the card to the receptionist, who was a decent-looking guy. Perhaps he noticed that I was walking unsteadily, so he asked me out of kindness, "Miss, did you sprain your ankle? Do you need us to provide you with Yunnan Baiyao?"

"Thank you, it's okay." I felt even more depressed, rolled my eyes at him, and turned to walk out.

Naturally, he was confused and turned to look at Tang Xin as if asking: What's wrong with her?

Tang Xin covered her mouth and tried to hold back her laughter, "It's okay, she's having her period."

"Oh, this is a deposit of one hundred yuan, please keep it." The receptionist nodded as if he suddenly understood.

When I went out, although the wind was still cold, the warm sun made me squint my eyes, and it suddenly didn't feel so cold anymore.

"What's wrong? Are you angry?" Tang Xin patted my shoulder and walked in front of me with her hands behind her back.

"No." I shook my head and held her face in my hands. "I'm scared of you! I've told you many times to be gentler!"

"I'll definitely do it next time, definitely next time! You can't blame me entirely for this!" she replied playfully.

"Then you can't blame me?!"

"Of course, Xiaomeng is so charming! You seduced me first." She said righteously.

Afraid that she would continue to make obscene jokes in front of the hotel, I quickly pulled her into the car parked in front of the hotel.

Probably because it had been exposed to the sun for the whole morning, the car was warm as spring. As soon as I sat in, all the pores in my body seemed to open up, greedily breathing in the temperature inside the car, and the warm and soft seats were extremely comfortable.

All this made me hum softly.

"See, I said so! You can't blame me." Tang Xin raised her eyebrows with a smile on her face.

"Me!" I was speechless for a moment. I didn't know where to start. It seemed that my voice became more and more coquettish, especially in front of Tang Xin. I would always reveal my shy side inadvertently.

"Alas, winter is here, can spring be far behind?" Tang Xin sighed and talked to herself, but it was obvious that there was something else she said.

"Let's go. I'm hungry. I'm going to eat first." I didn't want to waste my words with her, otherwise this girl would start GHS again.

……

After lunch, our car drove on the rugged and winding mountain road. The mountains along the way were looming in the clouds, like a shy girl hiding behind a veil and smiling. At the foot of the mountain was a huge reservoir, which was sparkling and spectacular from a distance.

"Drive slower, we are not familiar with the roads here, and there are many bends. You can't see the oncoming cars clearly, and it's easy to get into danger." I reminded Tang Xin, "We are not in a hurry. Follow the navigation, and we will be home in another 40 minutes."

"Yeah." Tang Xin slowed down.

But at this moment, a car behind us became impatient and started honking at us frantically.

drip... drip

"Let him go. He probably thinks you're driving too slowly." I rolled my eyes at the car behind me through the rearview mirror. From a distance, it seemed to be a Land Rover driven by a man wearing sunglasses.

Tang Xin had no choice but to drive the car to the right to the inside of the road to give him enough space to overtake. The Land Rover saw this and suddenly disappeared from our sight with a step on the accelerator.

"Aren't you afraid of an accident when driving your SUV so fast?" Tang Xin pouted and said unhappily, "And Didi people, I'm so angry."

"Ha, he can only drive at noon."

"what?"

"Because sooner or later something will happen."

I helped Tang Xin vent her anger, and she couldn't stop laughing after hearing it. Maybe she had never heard such a cold joke a few years later?

Maybe I have the ability to say what I mean? Half an hour later, when we drove out of the mountains and were about to enter the city's connecting line, we saw a car parked in the middle of the intersection. It was the Land Rover that had just overtaken us.

The owner of the car was like an ant on a hot pot, circling around the car and occasionally crawling under the car to look at something. And right under the left front wheel of the car, there was a motorcycle.

"Oh no, someone's been run over." I was shocked and quickly signaled Tang Xin to drive the car to a safe place on the side and stop.

Perhaps it was the first time that she witnessed a traffic accident in front of her own eyes. Tang Xin was a little panicked and her face turned pale. After getting out of the car, she grabbed my hand and trembled slightly.

I held Tang Xin's hand tightly, told her not to be afraid, and that we had to go help people, then ran over.

The man's sunglasses had been removed from his head at some point, and when he got off the car, we could see that he was less than 1.6 meters tall, bald, with a fat face and a barrel waist. He looked like a nouveau riche.

When he saw someone running towards him, he acted as if he had found a lifeline, and shouted in a panic with a hoarse voice: "Someone is trapped under the car. I called 110 and 120, but it will take at least half an hour for them to come."

I walked to the side of the car and saw that half of a young man's body was pinned under a motorcycle, which was stuck between the wheels and the ground. The situation did not look optimistic.

"Sir, are you okay? Can you still feel your lower body?" I squatted down to check on the man's condition.

"Hiss, it hurts. Help me." The man's face was ashen, but fortunately he was still conscious.

Along the way, more and more people stopped to see the accident, and soon six or seven people gathered around.

"Can everyone help lift the car?" The driver was really scared, because from what he had seen so far, he was fully responsible for the accident. If someone died, it would be a criminal case.

----

If it were you, would you help?

Chapter 54: Walking the Dog

However, the crowd looked at each other and no one was willing to take action.

"Sir, your car weighs more than two tons. We definitely can't lift it with just a few people. Let's go find the jack in the car!" I shook my head. It was obviously impossible to ask manpower to lift this big Land Rover.

"Oh, yes. Okay, I'll get it right away." He hurriedly ran to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a simple jack from the red box.

After he installed the jack in the correct position, he began to turn the thread wrench quickly and awkwardly to lift the car. After shaking for about a few minutes, the car was finally separated from the motorcycle. Everyone worked together to lift the injured rider out from under the car.

However, his feet were already covered in blood and twisted at a terrifying angle. Under the intense pain, even in winter, his forehead was covered with sweat.

"Hold on a little longer. The ambulance will be here soon." I stood beside him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Thank you...hiss, it hurts..." He looked at me gratefully, but before he could say anything else, he was interrupted by severe pain.

Tang Xin asked me quietly, "Is he okay?"

"It shouldn't be." I stood up and pulled Tang Xin behind me, trying not to let her see such a terrible scene. The man's injuries were much more serious than I imagined. Not only were his legs severely damaged, but his waist also had signs of being squeezed.

Before I could finish my words, the rider fell to the ground and passed out.

Everyone exclaimed and took a few steps back.

"He fainted." Tang Xin grabbed my hand and it hurt a little. After all, it was the first time to encounter such a situation, and anyone would have a huge psychological burden.

"Oh, someone is going to die." "It's bad..." The people around have already started shaking their heads. Faced with this situation, all they can do is sigh.

“He’s still breathing…” The driver reached his hand under the rider’s nose to test it, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, at this time, the sound of the ambulance had come from far away. As the ambulance stopped urgently, the back door opened, and four medical staff ran down at once. The professional doctor immediately started first aid.

Soon after, the traffic police law enforcement department also arrived at the scene. Several policemen got out of the car and talked to the driver. We, the onlookers, were also driven away from the scene by the traffic police to avoid gathering on the road and causing traffic jams or other traffic accidents.
