Chapter 129 - Life and Death

Xia Huaijin's forehead was burning with pain. But his first reaction was to go and see Xia Zhuozhuo's condition. "Xiaoqi, how are you!" Because he was too worried, he didn't even call her "sister". Xia Zhuozhuo shook his head. She grabbed the door handle in time, so she didn't get hit. "Sixth brother, how are you?" "It's okay, just a little skin scrape, it's nothing." Xia Zhuozhuo nodded: "When we get back, I'll get some ointment to apply to you." Butler Xia in the driver's seat turned his head and apologized guiltily. "I'm sorry, Sixth Master, Seventh Miss, the car in front braked suddenly, and I was afraid of hitting it, so I stepped on the brakes. It's all my fault for not keeping the distance." "Don't blame you, this is the fast lane, it's the problem of the car in front." As she said, she looked ahead. It was found that not only the car in front had stopped, but more than a dozen cars had stopped. Both lanes were blocked and the car couldn't pass. "Let's go and have a look." Xia Zhuozhuo opened the car door and got out, wanting to know what happened in front. Xia Huaijin hurriedly got out of the car as well. At this time, the wind and rain got stronger again. Xia Zhuozhuo stared at the wind and rain and went to the front to look. I saw that more than a dozen cars in front of me rear-ended each other one after another because the typhoon had blown down a big tree on the roadside, and the first car was crushed under the tree. The cars behind them didn't have time to brake and crashed into it one after another. It was also because of Butler Xia's quick reaction that he didn't rear-end with them. Xia Huaijin was still frightened and patted his chest and said: "Fortunately, it was Butler Xia who was driving. If it was me, something would definitely happen." His driving skills... are very average. Otherwise, he wouldn't have screamed in fear after picking up Xia Zhuozhuo in the countryside, and was knocked unconscious by Xia Zhuozhuo when he saw Xia Zhuozhuo driving so fast. -He still thinks he fainted from fear. Xia Zhuozhuo didn't listen carefully to what Xia Huaijin said, because her eyes fell on the car that was crushed by the tree in the front. Through the wind, Xia Zhuozhuo smelled something burning in the air. "Sister, let's go back and hide in the car first. When the rain is light, we will go to the opposite side to take a taxi back, and let Xia stay here and wait for the traffic police to come and clear the road." Xia Zhuozhuo stood there without moving, his eyes still staring at the fallen tree. "Sister?" Xia Huaijin stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her, wondering what she was thinking. Xia Zhuozhuo raised his hand and pointed to the front. "That car may be on fire." Xia Huaijin was stunned, but soon calmed down. "It's okay, the people in the car should have gotten off long ago." But someone shouted: "Help quickly! Our wife is still in the car!" Xia Zhuozhuo frowned, and his feet had already run forward before his brain. He didn't forget to leave a sentence "You get in the car first." How could Xia Huaijin be willing to get on the bus by himself? Without any hesitation, he immediately chased after him. But he was not as fast as Xia Zhuozhu, who quickly left him far behind. Beside the front car, many people got off the bus to check the situation as the driver shouted. But they just took a look and returned to the bus. The wind and rain were too strong, and everyone thought that such things were handled by the traffic police, and they didn't need their help. However, Xia Zhuozhu didn't hesitate at all, and ran against the flow of people to the side of the car. It was a tram. Xia Zhuozhu saw the logo of S Group. She recognized that this was the first generation of trams of S Group, and Xia Huaijin was asked to design the second generation of trams. S Group plans to promote trams more vigorously this year. After just one look, Xia Zhuozhu didn't care what kind of car it was. She saw that the door was open, and a woman was pressed inside. The driver couldn't drag the woman out of the car by himself. Xia Zhuozhu smelled a stronger smell. She rushed forward and helped pull the man. "Thank you, thank you..." The driver thanked him while exerting force. Xia Zhuozhuo didn't say anything, but kept exerting force with his hands. The woman screamed in pain. She was sitting right where the tree was pressing down, and the roof was severely deformed and sunken. That's why the woman was stuck. "It hurts!" "Madam..." The driver was so scared that he didn't dare to continue pulling. Xia Zhuozhuo's hands didn't stop moving. She stared at the back of the other person's head and said, "Just bear with it, the car may catch fire, and you will be burned in less than a minute." This is true, the speed of the tram burning after it catches fire is very fast. The woman seemed to be scared, and she didn't scream in pain anymore, but just kept panting. But after pulling for a while, the two of them only pulled the man out a little bit. Xia Zhuozhuo saw the woman's face clearly. It was none other than the mother of the little boy who fell and got sick that day. The woman also saw Xia Zhuozhuo, with obvious surprise in her eyes. But this surprise did not last for a few seconds before it was interrupted by the fire under the car. The car was on fire. "Hurry! Go!" The driver of the car behind kept shouting towards this side. If they didn't run, they would be in trouble. Xia Huaijin ran over at this time. But when he really wanted to rush over to help, he was stopped by passers-by. "Can't go over! The car might explode!" "Let me go!" "Can't go over!" Xia Huaijin was dragged alive, and no matter how he struggled, the people next to him refused to let him go. They were afraid of more casualties. The driver also felt fear at this time, let go of the woman's hand, and stepped back a few steps. Xia Zhuozhuo turned his head and glared at the driver: "Why are you running? It's about to be pulled out, come and help!" But the driver did not come forward, but retreated further. "I'm sorry, I have old people and children..." He said as he retreated. Soon they were far away from the car. The woman started crying. She had a feeling that she might die here today. "Don't worry about me, just go!" The girl was her son's savior, and she didn't want to drag him to death with her. "Don't talk nonsense! Just bear with it, I'll count to three, and then I'll pull hard. It will hurt." The woman was crying and didn't say anything. Xia Zhuozhuo started counting down: "Three, Just then, a tall figure suddenly appeared and grabbed the woman's other hand. Xia Zhuozhuo subconsciously looked to the side. Seeing Si Shenxing. His handsome face with sharp edges was now covered with rain, and he looked a little embarrassed. "Don't stand there, pull together. " Si Shenxing's words brought her back to her senses. She nodded and started counting down again: "Three, two, one! Pull!" With a scream and a muffled sound, the woman was pulled out. Her back was covered in blood. Si Shenxing dragged her up and carried her on his back. "Run!" Xia Zhuozhuo ran to the back without hesitation. At this moment, the car was full of flames, and then there was an explosion. The car door was blown open, flew into the sky, and fell into the green belt. Fortunately, Xia Zhuozhuo and Si Shenxing were not injured. They ran away five seconds before the explosion. Everyone looked at the burning car , all of them were scared. Fortunately, they noticed something was wrong and retreated in advance, otherwise they would be seriously injured if they were hit by the car door. The traffic police arrived at this time. The car couldn't drive over, so they came on a motorcycle. Si Shenxing asked Xia Zhuozhu to help take care of the woman, and he went up to negotiate with the traffic police. Soon A Mai also came over with several people. Si Shenxing was not a nosy person, how could he negotiate with the traffic police on behalf of this lady? In doubt, Xia Huaijin ran over. "Xiao Qi! You are not injured, right? I wanted to go up to help, but they pulled me to death..." "They were right to pull you, otherwise you would be injured." She paused and added: "Don't worry, I'm fine." Xia Huaijin wanted to say something, but Xia Zhuozhu had already gone to check the woman's injuries. Although a lot of blood was shed, it was all skin injuries, nothing serious. "After you go to the hospital, let them give you a tetanus shot, just in case. " The woman cried and thanked him. "Little girl, I owe you again. " Xia Zhuozhu shook her head: "It's just a piece of cake." "You said it was just a piece of cake last time, but you must accept my check this time." The woman gave Xia Zhuozhu a check for five million yuan without saying anything. Five million yuan is a lot, but it's not much compared to her and her son's lives. Xia Zhuozhu didn't lack money and pushed the check back. "You keep it, my family is rich." Before the woman spoke again, Xia Zhuozhu asked about her son. "How is the child?" "He was discharged from the hospital today... I went to pick him up. As a result, I encountered this kind of thing on the way. " While she sighed, she was glad that she had an accident on the way there, otherwise her son would have been in trouble with her. Xia Zhuozhu comforted her: "Those who survive a great disaster will have good fortune in the future. You and your son are both blessed." "We are blessed because we met you. Little girl, you are the lucky star of our mother and son. If you don't mind, I want to be friends with you. "The woman took out her mobile phone and wanted to exchange contact information with Xia Zhuozhuo. Xia Zhuozhuo couldn't resist and had to agree. After saving the phone number, the woman asked again: "Where do you live? When the typhoon is over, I want to bring my son to thank you. "Without waiting for Xia Zhuozhuo to refuse, the woman added: "My son has always wanted to meet you. He said he wanted to thank you in person. "The child said so, Xia Zhuozhuo couldn't refuse, so he had to tell her his address. The Xia family's manor is very famous. The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at her and asked: "Is your father... called Xia Yunhai?" This time it was Xia Zhuozhuo's turn to be surprised. "Do you know him?" "Not really... just heard of him." The woman hesitated, and Xia Zhuozhuo didn't ask. The traffic police came over at this time and needed the woman to cooperate with some procedures. The woman waved to Xia Zhuozhuo. "Miss Xia, see you another day. " Xia Zhuozhu nodded and took Xia Huaijin away. Butler Xia didn't know what happened in front. The distance was too far, he only knew that there was a fire in front and black smoke was rising. Seeing them come back, he was relieved immediately. "I seemed to hear an explosion just now... Xia Zhuozhu nodded, didn't mention what happened just now, and only said: "The car in front is on fire." Butler Xia's expression immediately became serious. "It's not safe here, Master, Miss, you go to the opposite lane to take a taxi and go back first, I'll stay." "Okay." The two did not refuse, and were about to get out of the car when a tall figure appeared beside the car.
