Chapter 245: Meteorite and cracks (2/2)
Next to Old Lu were items that were originally placed in the small compartment next to the driver’s seat, but were now sprawled all over on the ground.
Additionally, the tank of fuel within the open-topped container behind, together with Song Shuhang’s suitcase, tumbled over to one side. And, cracks started forming on the huge meteorite that was crushed by the vehicle…
Papa Song and Lu Tianyou combined their strength and dragged Old Lu out from underneath the tractor.
Luckily, no one was injured.
❄️❄️❄️
”Thank G.o.d the three of us are fine.” After Old Lu saw how everyone was safe, he smiled embarra.s.singly.
”Count yourself lucky that you’re not dead—if not for you insisting on taking the tractor, none of this mess would have happened.” Papa Song stared hard at Old Lu.
As they were speaking, Papa Song tried recalling the vague memories of what had happened earlier, when the tractor charged out of the mountain road.
He remembered indistinctly that when the tractor was charging out, the body of the tractor lit up—it was very bright!
Thereafter, Papa Song felt himself falling onto the ground. But, he was surprised that there wasn’t any feeling of any impact!
...They were clearly flung from the mountain road down to the third layer of the terraced field-like slope—every level had a height of five meters, so that was fifteen meters in total.
Falling from such a height and being pinned down by a tractor… under normal circ.u.mstances, they would die nine times out of ten! However, apart from getting themselves dirty and messy, the three of them were actually completely unscathed—without a single injury.
”Uncle, Uncle! Are you alright?” At this time, a melodic voice of a woman came from the mountain road.
Papa Song lifted his head and saw Zhao Yaya, who was decked in white clothes, calling out at him.
Zhao Yaya was really scared just now—if these terraces weren’t this high, she would have jumped down to give the three of them a full-body checkup. After all, she studied medicine.
”Eh? Yaya, why are you here?” Papa Song asked in reply. After that, his eyes s.h.i.+fted to the three sports cars stopped at the side of the road and then he understood what was going on.
Earlier… did the cars that Old Lu overtook on the tractor belong to Zhao Yaya and her friends?
Hence, he smiled and waved at Zhao Yaya and said, ”We are completely fine, without a single problem! You don’t have to worry, Yaya!”
Zhao Yaya asked, ”Uncle, do you need me to give aunt a call?”
”Don’t panic, don’t panic. First, give Shuhang a call and get him to bring a long rope or something and help us out of here,” Papa Song shouted in reply.
Thereafter, Papa Song looked at the overturned tractor that was akin to a turtle that flipped onto its back… and estimated that only a large crane would be capable of hoisting the tractor up.
Speaking of which, this tractor must have undergone modifications. Where did Shuhang get it from?
If he borrowed it from someone, what will happen if it’s damaged beyond repair?
Where is he gonna get another tractor that can go up to 150 km/h to compensate them? Papa Song was vexed.
❄️❄️❄️
”Shuhang has returned home?” Zhao Yaya opened her contacts list and dialed Song Shuhang’s number.
Very soon, the call connected.
”Eh? Elder Sister Yaya, what’s up?” Song Shuhang’s voice came from the other end of the line.
”Shuhang, quickly prepare a very long rope, at least about thirty meters long, and bring it over to the mountain road on Mountain Niuding. Keep following the mountain road and you’ll see me. It’s urgent,” replied Zhao Yaya.
”Mountain Niuding’s road? Elder Sister Yaya, you’re there too?” Song Shuhang was baffled and asked, ”What happened? Why do you need such a long rope?”
”Uncle Lu drove out of the mountain road with uncle on the tractor, and they fell off the mountain road onto the terraces next to it. The terraces are pretty tall and so they can’t climb up,” answered Zhao Yaya.
”They overturned the tractor? Are they ok?” Song Shuhang panicked.
”They seem alright, but I haven’t examined them yet. We’ll know after we get them out,” said Zhao Yaya.
”I will be there immediately,” Song Shuhang answered and hung up immediately after.
❄️❄️❄️
”Everything I feared happened!” Song Shuhang sighed and soon after, his body once again burst forward. Out of worry for his father’s safety, subconsciously, the speed of his ❮Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ stepped up a notch.
Ten minutes later, he arrived at the site of the accident.
When he looked from afar, he saw three sports cars—red, blue, and white—stopped at the roadside.
Zhao Yaya was leaning onto the barrier, looking down at the three men trying to arrange the articles in the vehicle.
Two other women hid in the car, enjoying the A/C.
Song Shuhang reduced his speed and ran towards Zhao Yaya at the speed at which normal people run 100m at. He waved at her from afar and shouted, ”Elder Sister Yaya, where is dad and the rest?”
”Shuhang, you’re finally here.” Zhao Yaya pointed in the direction of the damaged barrier and said, ”Uncle and the rest are below… eh, Shuhang, what about the rope? Why did you come empty-handed?”
”When you called, I was already nearby, so I ran over. My dad and Uncle Lu had a couple of drinks today before driving the tractor out, so I was worried and continued following them behind.” Song Shuhang forced a laugh.
In front of Zhao Yaya, it was hard for him to lie. He merely covered up the fact that he used ❮Virtuous Man’s Ten Thousand Mile Walk❯ to rush over.
”We don’t have any other options but to call road a.s.sistance to help save them and retrieve the tractor while they’re at it,” said Zhao Yaya.
Song Shuhang hurriedly replied, ”You don’t have to, Elder Sister Yaya. I can get someone to help retrieve the tractor. I have a friend that specializes in dealing with such problems. As for dad and the rest… I will get them up first.”
