After staying in Pengcheng for a few days, Hu Mingchen went home and prepared to go home for the New Year.

Fly from Pengcheng to Zhennan first, there is a New Year's pass, the train from Zhennan to Liangcheng is full every time, Hu Mingchen can't go to the sweaty squeeze train, fortunately he called in advance, Hu Jianqiang arranged for someone to drive to Zhennan Airport to pick him up. Because Fang Guoping and the others were all sent home by Hu Mingchen on vacation, the driver who came to pick up Hu Mingchen this time was the company's car driver, named Duan Jinpeng.

The highway from Zhennan to Liangcheng has been opened to traffic, and it will not take a few hours to drive from Zhennan to Liangcheng.

However, Hu Mingchen's winter vacation out of the house seemed to be destined not to be smooth sailing, the first hour of the car from the south of the town was fine, but after the car passed the fort, it was blocked.

"Hu Shao, you wait for me in the car, I'll go to the front to see what's going on. Duan Jinpeng looked at the endless traffic in front of him and asked Hu Mingchen for instructions.

Hu Mingchen looked through the car window, looked at the white on the top of the mountain next to him, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid there was a car accident, or the road is closed, you go and take a look." ”

Usually there is a large traffic jam on the highway, which will be related to a car accident. And this year's winter seems to be unusually cold, because the altitude of this section of Guanbao is not high, in previous years, there was not much snow, and there was a bit of a taste of silver, and the top of the mountain on both sides of the road was covered with a thin layer of snow.

Before the Chinese New Year, the traffic on the highway itself is large, and if the weather is bad, the probability of a car accident is even higher.

Duan Jinpeng also felt a little bit about Hu Mingchen's worries, when he came this morning, it was snowing in Liangcheng. However, in his mind, the high-speed should not be closed at this juncture, after all, there are still many people waiting to go home for the New Year.

Duan Jinpeng opened the car door, and a cool breeze poured into the car. Duan Jinpeng hurriedly closed the car door, tightened his coat and walked forward.

Hu Mingchen sat in the car and adjusted the warm air outlet of the air conditioner to keep the warm air from blowing on him as much as possible, so that the skin would be very dry.

A few minutes after Duan Jinpeng left, some small white dots gradually appeared on the windshield in front of the vehicle, and Hu Mingchen looked up at the sky and saw pieces of crystal snowflakes swaying down from under the clouds.

After about half an hour, Duan Jinpeng blew his palms and returned to the car: "Hu Shao, it's troublesome, the road is closed, a big truck overturned on the road, this is not counting, the place where the big truck overturned is the Guanjiashan Bridge, the knock surface has begun to freeze, I'm afraid we are going to be trapped here." ”

Driving in the mountains, the most afraid of the bridge in winter, because the bridge is generally built in the canyon and mountains, and this place is relatively windy, as long as the temperature is lower, plus a little moisture, the bridge deck is easy to be blown by the cold wind and freeze. If you are not careful, you will overturn under the dual effect of crosswinds and slippery roads.

"Isn't there a high-speed traffic police in front of you to deal with it?" asked Hu Mingchen.

"Yes, there is, but there is no way, if the big truck does not have a crane, it is completely useless. The road on our side is blocked, the big crane can't pass at all, you see, hundreds of cars have appeared behind it, and the emergency lane is occupied. If you want to have a crane over there, you have to come from Lotus County, but it is said that there is already heavy snow over there, and you can't drive on the road at all. Duan Jinpeng said.

"Then let's wait, I believe the relevant departments will deal with it quickly. Seeing the endless traffic jam in front and back, Hu Mingchen sighed and said.

"Hu Shao, why don't you go to the back and lie down and rest, there is a blanket in the car, and you won't be able to leave for a while anyway. ”

Hu Mingchen thought about it, plus he had been dealing with business and hurrying for the past few days, and he felt a little tired, so he ran to the back row, pulled the fluffy blanket over his body and lay down to rest, and after a while, he fell asleep.

In order to ensure that Hu Mingchen slept comfortably, even if he had covered him with a blanket, Duan Jinpeng did not turn off the heater and air conditioner.

This night, Hu Mingchen slept quite steadily, and it took him three hours before he woke up.

When Hu Mingchen rubbed his eyes and woke up, he only glanced out the car window, and he was stunned.

The reason why Hu Mingchen was surprised was that what greeted his eyes was a white expanse, and even the front window glass had been completely covered, and he couldn't see anything.

"How can there be so much snow?"

Hu Mingchen exclaimed, Duan Jinpeng, who had closed his eyes in front of him, hurriedly turned his head: "Hu Shao, you woke up, you just slept for half an hour, and the snow fell heavily, and now the snow on the road is at least six or seven centimeters thick." ”

Hu Mingchen looked at the road surface of the highway and saw that it was indeed covered with a thick layer.

"Hu Shao, but don't worry, there is water and food in the trunk of the car, I'll give you that bit now. In order to reassure Hu Mingchen, Duan Jinpeng added.

Just fell asleep, and after waking up, Hu Mingchen did feel a little thirsty: "Then you can bring me a bottle of mineral water, if you have dry food or something, bring some too." ”

After Hu Mingchen said, Duan Jinpeng pulled his clothes and got out of the car, his feet on the road, leaving two clear rows of large footprints.

Two minutes later, Duan Jinpeng moved half a box of mineral water and a bag of food from the trunk and put them in the passenger seat.

Taking the mineral water handed by Duan Jinpeng, Hu Mingchen picked it up and just took a sip when he saw a woman wrapped in a woolen scarf knocking on his car window.

Hu Mingchen lowered the window a little: "Sister, is there something wrong?"

"Little brother, do you have anything to eat, can you sell me a little?" the woman asked as she looked at Hu Mingchen expectantly.

"We're not a commissary, you have to buy something, go to the store and buy it. Before Hu Mingchen could answer, Duan Jinpeng responded first.

"Little brother, it's cold and snowy around here, and I don't see any shops anywhere...... It's not that I'm going to eat it, it's ...... I have two kids on the back bus, they're hungry, and I just saw that you guys have a lot to eat, so I'm ...... You can do it. The woman rubbed her face sadly, looking embarrassed.

Hu Mingchen glanced back through the car window and did see a Golden Dragon bus parked behind.

In fact, in this section of the traffic jam, at a glance, there are at least ten buses that can be seen, and most of the people sitting on them are wanderers who are working outside and returning home for the New Year.

It is indeed quite pitiful to think that children are trapped on this cold road, and adults can still hold on when they are hungry and thirsty, and children are not so easy to deal with.

"Brother Duan, get you two bottles of water and some food for you. Hu Mingchen didn't think too much about it, and he gave birth to compassion.

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, you see how much it costs, I'll pay you. Receiving Hu Mingchen's affirmative response, the woman said happily.

"You don't have to take money, it's not easy to go out, take it to the children. "Since Hu Mingchen wants to do good deeds, it is impossible to collect money.

Duan Jinpeng didn't want to give it at all, because of the heavy snowfall, they didn't know how long they would be stuck here, and food and water were particularly important at this time. But Hu Mingchen's promise had already been spoken, so he couldn't refute it anymore, so he picked up two bottles of water and two biscuits plus a bag of raisins and handed them to the woman.

After getting the things, the woman thanked her for her kindness and left happily.

Not long after the woman left, Hu Mingchen's car window was knocked again. Hu Mingchen thought that the woman was not enough and returned, but at a glance, it was not, but another middle-aged woman.

"Little brother, do you have something to eat, can you give me a little even, please. The middle-aged woman waited for Hu Mingchen to press down the window a little, and then couldn't wait.

"Eldest sister, did you also take the child out?" asked Hu Mingchen suspiciously.

"Oh no, I didn't have any kids, but I came home with my parents, and I didn't know that I would encounter this kind of ghostly weather. My mom has low blood sugar ...... I saw that you have something to eat, so I came to see if I could give a little bit to the elderly. After the middle-aged woman was surprised for a moment, she explained to Hu Mingchen.

"Oh, it turns out that there is an old man, since this is the case...... Brother Duan, take a little food for this eldest sister, if the old man has low blood sugar, he can't be hungry, it's going to be the New Year, so don't have any accidents. Hu Mingchen agreed without much thought.

The middle-aged woman, like the woman just now, received a thousand thanks. And Hu Mingchen did not accept the other party's money, such a little food is not worth a few dollars, and Hu Mingchen is the least short of money, so he simply does it to the end and sends the Buddha to the west.

Seeing that a quarter of the food was lost all of a sudden, Duan Jinpeng became worried: "Hu Shao, I don't know how long this traffic jam will be blocked, and our food is not very abundant, if we give them so much, we are afraid that we will starve." ”

Duan Jinpeng told Hu Mingchen about the difficulties he was facing, and he believed that with this situation, Hu Mingchen should not come out to be a good man.

"Brother Duan, they are all children and old people, we can help a little bit, although the weather conditions are very bad now, but I believe that it will not take long for the road to be opened, anyway, it is not worth a few dollars. Everyone has found their heads, and if we two men refuse, it will be cruel. Hu Mingchen said disapprerovingly.

"But there are so many cars, so many people...... Even if we want to help, I'm afraid it won't be easy. Duan Jinpeng pointed out the car window.

"If we can help one is one, we can bear it relatively well. ”

Hu Mingchen said earlier that he could bear it, but it wouldn't be long before he couldn't bear it. Seeing the two women getting water and food from them, soon there were many people around their car, all begging for food and water.
