Chapter 124: A Frightening Moment
Chapter 124 A shocking moment
Xia Xiang didn't say anything anymore and carefully observed the road conditions on both sides. The mountain road was rugged, and Panheng was between the green mountains and green waters, like a flying dragon. However, the dragon was not yet formed at this time. It was not only narrow but also undulating. However, it had initially established the foundation of a third-level highway. It could be put into use with a little correction. The investment would not be too large and the time would not take too long. The soil base part was taken locally and the remaining stones left to the mountain were crushed and mixed in the soil and placed under it.
With the addition of a series of procedures such as laying asphalt, flattening, etc., if you move quickly, you will be officially put into use tomorrow spring. The more Xia Xiang thinks, the more excited he becomes. His eyes cross the mountains and ridges, as if he saw Baxian at the end of the mountain road, which is already a prosperous scene. When he was about to fall into his mind, a sudden harsh brake sound sounded. Without any defense, he suddenly rushed forward and pressed his head heavily on the seat in the front.
Mi Xuan screamed in exaggeration: "Can you drive? You want to scare people!"
Cao Shuqiu sat in front and saw clearly, his voice trembling slightly: "Road, road, road, road collapse, Xia Xiang, landslide, what should I do?"
Only Lian Ruohan sat quietly in the driver's seat, with Ruosi on her face, and she didn't get off the car or talk, obviously thinking about how to deal with it.
Xia Xiang observed the surrounding environment, opened the door and got off the bus, and saw clearly that a few meters away from the front, a large ditch about four or five meters long collapsed, cutting the mountain road in half! When he looked up again, he kept falling on the hillside, falling on the ground, splashing everywhere. If it accidentally fell on someone, it would be unbearable for the pain.
He had to retreat. Xia Xiang made up his mind. It seemed that the ground might have sunk due to the mountain rain. Now there is a danger of landslide above his head. Staying here for one more minute means that he may be buried by rocks at any time. He ran to the car and saw that although some stones were also falling on the mountain road behind him, with the advantage of high four-wheel drive in the Land Rover chassis, there should be no problem of forcing it to pass. He did not dare to delay and came to the car and said to Lian Ruohan: "It's dangerous here, you can't stop. I'll command. You can reverse the car and fall to a wide place, and turn around. Even if you go around, it's better than being trapped here."
Lian Ruohan looked at the left and right terrain and disagreed with Xia Xiang's opinion: "Now I can turn around and turn the steering wheel more often. If you don't know, don't command it blindly."
According to Xia Xiang's visual observation, if the narrowness of the mountain road is an ordinary car, or if it is rubbed a few times, you can turn it over. However, the Land Rover is too wide and long, and the body is heavy. If you accidentally press on the side of the road, it may cause collapse or even fall into a cliff. Therefore, he firmly opposed Lian Ruohan's proposal: "No, it's too dangerous to turn around in place, and it takes too long. What if you accidentally fall into the ravine?"
Lian Ruohan's face changed, she glanced at Xia Xiang, with an impatient look: "From your tone, it seems that you know more about cars than me, and have better driving skills than me? Tell you, I once drove alone, from Beijing to Tibet, what kind of danger I have never seen? What kind of mountain road I have never driven? What kind of kids do you know and what world have you seen? Go away, the car is mine, I have the final say!"
Xia Xiang had no choice but to say to Cao Shugui, the co-pilot: "Get out of the car, girl, the car is dangerous."
Cao Shuqi got out of the car obediently. Mi Xuan moved faster and got away from the car. She muttered, "Crazy, a full madman! A girl is so fierce. If you don't listen to men at critical moments, who will want you!"
Lian Ruohan first fell down, and when the wheel was less than five centimeters from the edge of the cliff, she quickly turned around and straightened forward. It can be said that her skills were impeccable, and she was indeed very skilled, but sometimes women's intuition was often not as calm as men. After a few steering wheels, she sadly discovered that the mountain road was too narrow, and it was impossible to turn around on the spot unless it fell into a ravine or hit a stone!
Lian Ruohan looked depressed, but refused to admit defeat: "The car was broken. If it weren't for the last time I hit a blue bird, I would have succeeded just now."
Xia Xiang didn't find it funny. She was really good at quibbling. It was just something that was unrelated to each other. She could also get it together. It seems that complaining about the world is a woman's nature, she is born with a good idea, and she is skilled in using it without a teacher.
But now there is no time to laugh at her. He asked Lian Ruohan to straighten the wheels and prepare to direct her to reverse the car. Unexpectedly, Lian Ruohan had just put the car in the right position, and before he could take a step back, he heard a loud rumbling sound from behind, followed by a dusty piece. In the stunned surprise of the few people, a big hole collapsed more than ten meters behind him.
The road surface was collapsed in front and behind, and even Lian Ruohan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change her face. She looked at Xia Xiang with a pale face, losing her usual calmness.
Cao Shuqin's face was also scared and bloodless. He took Xia Xiang's hand tightly and pressed his body tightly: "Xia Xiang, I'm afraid!"
After all, she is the daughter of the director and has been smooth sailing since childhood. How could she encounter such a difficult situation like no way out? Subconsciously, she regarded Xia Xiang as the only person she could rely on, hugged Xia Xiang's arm, and refused to relax at all.
Mi Xuan was angry: "Even Ruohan, you are just showing off your own abilities. If you listened to Xia Xiang from the beginning, you wouldn't have to be trapped here now? Now, you have the ability to turn your car into a helicopter and take us back! Humph, it's so stupid for you, a woman, to take your own actions on major issues. Women are not as rational as men in situations, you are really unreasonable."
Lian Ruohan was criticized by Mi Xuan, but he did not refute. He looked up coldly and was shocked: "No, a landslide!"
On the top of the head, many fine sand and stones rolled down, and fell on the car in a moment, making the roof of the car thud. The sand-like stones like sand cannot hurt people now, but now it is just a sign. Several people clearly saw that there was a huge rock on it and it was only a matter of time before it fell. Once the huge rock fell, it was exactly where several people stood, that is, several people would be smashed to pieces.
Either jump off the cliff and fell to death, or stayed still and was hit to death. Lian Ruohan had no idea and looked at Xia with a panic look on his face and thought: "What should I do? What should I do? I have never encountered such a serious time? Are I really going to die?"
Cao Shugui hugged Xia Xiang even tighter and murmured like a murmur: "You said if we die together, will we never be separated in the future? I am not afraid to be with you." A few simple words revealed the girl's heart. Xia Xiang was a little moved, and she felt a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. He held Cao Shugui hard in his arms, kissed her forehead for the first time, and said softly: "With me here, you will not die."
Xia Xiang reached out to open the car door and shouted: "Girl and Mi Xuan get in the car quickly, the faster the better! Don't ask why, there is no time to explain now." Then he pointed at Lian Ruohan, who was stunned by the side, "Don't stand, follow my command! Find a rectangular stone immediately, the longer the better, one end is thicker and the other end is thin, so hurry..."
Lian Ruohan woke up in shock and asked in a daze: "What are you doing?"
"Don't ask, just do it!" Xia Xiang was not polite and stepped forward and pushed her, "You and I are responsible for finding one, whether you are dead or alive, it's all here."
Lian Ruohan almost fell down by Xia Xiang's rough movements. Just as she was about to get angry, she was facing his firm expression and unquestionable eyes. She couldn't help but feel afraid. She had always been unwilling to admit defeat and thought she was used to being used to it. Today, she was defeated by someone who seemed to be nothing but a little kid in her opinion, which made her feel very embarrassed.
However, now is not the time to care about the gains and losses of face, she nodded obediently: "I'll listen to you."
Although Lian Ruohan wore a short skirt today, his movements were still very clean and neat. He jumped around the rocks, regardless of his image. There were several times when his skirt was blown up by the wind and almost exposed her. She was unaware of it. In front of the spring, Xia Xiang was even more unwilling to appreciate it. Facing the life and death decision, his strong body played a role in his childhood. Soon he found a long stone, which just met his requirements. One end was thin and the other end was thick, but it was a bit heavy, which was more than a hundred pounds. He struggled to move the stone to the collapsed edge in front of the mountain road, about one meter away from the big pit.
Even Ruohan also found the stone. Although it was not as good as Xia Xiang found, it was basically available. She couldn't move the stone, so Xia Xiang carried it over with her and placed it side by side, asking, "Let's see if your wheels are as wide as yours?"
Lian Ruohan understood what Xia wanted to do when she came over and asked in surprise: "Do you want to fly over this big pit? This pit is five or six meters long, so you need a professional driver!"
"I'm fine, don't ask too much!" Xia Xiang used to be an off-road enthusiast. When it comes to self-driving tours and driving proficiency, it is not comparable to Lian Ruohan. Men are born with an advantage over women in terms of skills.
The two of them gestded again, determined their location, and hurried back to the car. Lian Ruohan wanted to compete with Xia Xiang for driving rights, but he pushed it directly onto the co-pilot without saying a word. The gravel on the hillside became larger and larger, and this sign showed that even if the huge stone on the top did not fall, they might be buried alive by the rocks!
The current situation is urgent and Lian Ruohan cannot be used to play tricks any more.
"Everyone is sitting down, wear seat belts, don't move around, don't shout, don't hear?" Xia Xiang became the backbone of the three women in a pretentious manner. Cao Shuyan said "Yeah" very obediently, and Mi Xuan nodded, put on the seat belt. Only Lian Ruohan wanted to say anything, but she was choked back by Xia Xiang's words, "Don't make two mistakes in one thing, now the life of a car of people is in my hands, don't be dragged down by everyone! Put away your personality, now is not the time for you to be willful!"
Lian Ruohan's face changed a few times. He opened his mouth, and the stubbornness in his eyes slowly disappeared. He sat back on his seat and put on his seat without saying a word.
Xia Xiang took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, staring at the two life-saving stones in front of him. He started the car, held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, and felt sweat in his hands. How could he not be nervous? The wealth and life of the three beautiful women in the car was dependent on him, one was Cao Shuyan, the other was willful Lian Ruohan of unknown origin, and the other was the mature and plump Mi Xuan. No matter which one was a first-class talent, he could touch the heartstrings of many people more than him. He had to try his best, and he had to calm down completely and succeed in one fell swoop.
Because, between life and death, there is no option to fail, failure means death!
He stepped back for more than ten meters, retreated to the edge of the big ditch behind, then stepped on the brakes with one foot, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom with the other foot, and then suddenly released the brakes - the car was like a tiger going down the mountain, and the huge power of four-wheel drive made a harsh sound of tire friction. The car rushed forward like a flying, ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters, one meter. Xia Xiang stared at two life-saving stones, constantly fine-tuning the direction of the wheels, and felt the two front wheels suddenly paused, his heart tightened, and his hands subconsciously hugged the steering wheel, lifted the front of the car, and the whole body jumped into the air.
There was a silence in the car, and no one dared to make a sound, as if the sound had weight. Once it was said, it would add weight to the car, and it would not fly away from the deadly ditch underneath! Cao Shuyan covered his mouth with both hands, fearing that he would scream accidentally, but his eyes were staring at Xia Xiang, with tenderness, warmth, determination, and a hint of unwillingness and reluctance in his eyes.
Mi Xuan simply closed her eyes and looked like she was left to fate.
Lian Ruohan's eyes were inexplicably excited, and her face was no longer as panic as before. Her eyes were full of excitement and surprise, as if speeding was a fun little thing, not a big thing that was at stake.
It was probably not enough. Xia Xiang secretly wiped a cold sweat, watching the front wheel of the car fall to the ground, while the left rear wheel landed on the edge of the big hole. The car suddenly fell to the ground, and then quickly tilted to the left rear, "Ah...", and the car exclaimed!
Fortunately, Land Rover was four-wheel drive. Xia Xiang stepped on the accelerator violently. The two front wheels suddenly exerted force, and a stream of blue smoke came out, which drove the heavy body to rush forward for more than ten meters. Finally, he stopped steadily in the middle of the mountain road - everything was settled, and he took a few breaths, then turned around and reached out to hold Cao Shugui's hand tightly.
Tears flashed in Cao Shuqi's eyes, his little hands were also tide, his palms were warm and his back was cold. She nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Xia Xiang."
"What do you thank him? He is also trying to save his life, not all to save you." After Mi Xuan was rescued, she did not want to repay her, but immediately retaliated against Xia Xiang, and didn't know what she was thinking.
"I just want to thank him, because he not only gave me a chance to survive, but also a chance to realize my dream. I decided that from now on, no one can stop me from realizing my dream, even my father can't do it!" Cao Shuyan's face showed unprecedented determination. She was grabbed by Xia Xiang, and her other hand was clenched into a fist, and she waved her chest hard.
"What dream? It's the same as the marriage oath, and it's not touched at all, and it's a little bit stingy." Mi Xuan said just as she was thorny, and no one let her go.
"I won't tell you, keep it confidential." Cao Shuyan laughed again, his eyes flashing clearly all about love and longing.
Lian Ruohan leaned hard on the seat, feeling deeply exhausted. After a while, she smiled: "Xia Xiang, I admire you very much for what happened today."
"Save life, just say one thing to admire? Your admiration is really valuable, and I still admire you." Mi Xuan continued to sarcastically.
Lian Ruohan ignored Mi Xuan and said to Xia Xiang: "For the next journey, please drive back to Ba County. Thank you." After that, she turned her head to one side, closed her eyes slightly, and refused to say another word.
It was rare that even his sister spoke to thank others, and Xia Xiang smiled. He wanted to drive back in person. To be honest, he doesn't really believe that Lian Ruohan can still remain calm, so he will drive safely.
When I passed by Sanshan Resort in my impression, Xia Xiang widened his eyes and looked for a long time, and finally found a group of construction workers busying themselves, and felt relieved. Today was not in vain. Now it is basically confirmed that Sanshan Resort is about to start construction. It will not take long before news of the start of mountain roads. The next step is to formally propose a tourism plan.
But what made him feel unsure was that if Liu Shixuan, who refused to let go of the Gunlonggou issue, discovered the huge economic value of the Ba County grassland, would he also have to get a share of the pie?
Lian Ruohan's appearance of sleeping beauty is really confusing. When Xia Xiang looked at the rearview mirror on the right, she accidentally looked at her more. Her face was as delicate as a fairy who was not as good as a worldly fireworks. Her facial features were so delicate that they could not find any flaws, which made people jealous of God's partiality and injustice.
Xia Xiang didn't dare to look at Lian Ruohan too much. She was so beautiful that it made people feel palpitations. He couldn't be distracted now. The mountain road was still very rugged and difficult to walk, so he had to do his best. What he didn't know was that Lian Ruohan was actually pretending to sleep. She closed her eyes slightly, leaving a trace of light, and was secretly looking at Xia Xiang.
Although Xia Xiang is two years older than her, in her opinion, men have always been little kids who have never grown up before they have not experienced many things before they have experienced many things. They act frivolously, speak impatiently, and have a naive mind. Compared with middle-aged men who have experienced strong storms, boys in their 20s have no fruits to grow up. They are immature and impulsive, simple in their minds, and are basically in their childhood.
Lian Ruohan has no affection for the slutty boy. In her opinion, men only have a sense of stability and maturity. The stability and maturity of men are reflected in their calmness and confidence in everything. Between conversations, humor and humor, and chatting and laughing, many earth-shaking events are determined.
The little boy who has never seen the wind and rain without knowing that the sky and the earth is very different from the mature man who has a charming charm in every move, so she has no favoritism for boys of Xia Xiang, and even has a very disgusted with their attentiveness. She feels that their flattery and crudeness are superficial and not worth a moment of exposure.
