Chapter 124: A Moment of Horror

Xia Xiang didn't speak anymore, and carefully observed the road conditions on both sides. The mountain road is rugged, Panheng is between the green mountains and green waters, like a soaring dragon, but at this time this dragon is not yet formed, not only narrow, but also undulating, but has initially possessed the foundation of the three-level highway, as long as a little correction can be put into use, the investment will not be too big, the time is not too long, the soil foundation part, local materials, the remaining stones of the mountain are crushed, mixed in the soil and cushioned below.

In addition, a series of procedures such as asphalt laying and compacting can be officially put into use tomorrow spring if the action is fast. The more Xia Xiang thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes crossed the lofty mountains, as if he saw Ba County at the end of the mountain road, which was already a thriving scene. Just as he was in his trance, there was a sudden screeching sound of brakes, and he swooped forward unsuspectingly, his head on the seat in front of him.

Mi Xuan exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Can you drive?" I want to scare people to death! ”

Cao Shumu sat in front and could see clearly, his voice trembling slightly: "Road, road, road collapsed, Xia Xiang, there is a landslide, what should I do?" ”

Only Lian Ruohan sat quietly in the driver's seat, with a thoughtful face, did not get out of the car, and did not speak, obviously thinking about how to respond.

Xia Xiang observed the surrounding environment, opened the door and got out of the car, only to see that a few meters in front of him, the mountain road collapsed into a big ditch about four or five meters long, and the mountain road was cut off! When I looked up again, I saw that finger-sized rocks kept falling on the hillside, falling on the ground and splashing everywhere, and if they accidentally fell on people's bodies, the pain would be unbearable.

He could only retreat, Xia Xiang made up his mind, it seemed that it might be because the mountain rain caused the ground to sink, and now there was a danger of landslides overhead, staying here for one more minute meant that he could be buried by rocks at any time. He ran to the back of the car and saw that although some rocks had fallen on the mountain road behind, with the advantage of the Land Rover's chassis high four-wheel drive, there should be no problem in forcing it through. He didn't dare to delay, came to the front of the car and said to Lian Ruohan: "It's dangerous here, you can't stay, I'll command, you come to reverse, reverse to a wide place, and then turn around, even if it's far away, it's better than being trapped here." ”

Lian Ruohan looked at the terrain on the left and right, and disagreed with Xia Xiang's opinion: "Now I can turn around on the spot and hit the steering wheel more, and it will work." You don't know how to pretend to understand, don't command blindly. ”

According to Xia Xiang's visual inspection, the narrowness of the mountain road can be turned around if it is an ordinary car, or a few times of rubbing, but the Land Rover is too wide and long, and the body is heavy, and the slightest carelessness on the side of the road may cause collapse, and even the danger of falling into the cliff, so he resolutely opposed Lian Ruohan's proposal: "No, it is too dangerous to turn around on the spot, and it takes too long, what if you accidentally fall into the ravine?" ”

Lian Ruohan's face changed, he rolled his eyes at Xia Xiang, and his face was impatient: "Listen to your tone, it seems that you know how to drive better than me, and your driving skills are higher than mine?" Tell you, I once drove alone from the capital to Tibetan Province, what kind of danger have I not seen? What kind of mountain road has not been driven? What do you know and what has you seen in the world? Flash away, the car is mine, I have the final say! ”

Xia Xiang was helpless, and said to Cao Shumu of the co-pilot: "Get out of the car, Mucuna girl, there is danger in the car." ”

Cao Shumu obediently got out of the car, Mi Xuan moved faster, and as soon as she got out of the car, she was far away, and muttered: "Crazy, full crazy!" A girl is so fierce and doesn't listen to a man at a critical time, who will want you! ”

Lian Ruohan first poured it down, and when the wheel was less than five centimeters away from the edge of the cliff, he quickly returned to the wheel and swung forward. It can be said that her skills are impeccable, indeed excellent, but sometimes a woman's intuition is often not as calm as a man's, and after a few steering wheels, she sadly found that the mountain road was too narrow, and it was impossible to turn around on the spot unless she fell into a ravine or hit a rock!

Lian Ruohan looked frustrated, but refused to admit defeat: "The car was damaged, if it hadn't been for the last time I hit a Blue Bird, I would have succeeded just now." ”

Xia Xiang didn't think it was funny, she was really good at quibbling, it was something that was not related to the wind and horses, and she could also get involved, it seems that complaining about the sky is the surname of a woman, and she is born with it, and she is skilled in using it without a teacher.

But there was no time to laugh at her now, he asked Lian Ruohan to straighten the wheel, ready to direct her to reverse. I don't want Lian Ruohan to just put the car in the right position, and before he had time to take a step up, he heard a loud rumbling sound from behind, followed by a piece of dust, and in the stunned surprise of several people, a big hole collapsed in the air more than ten meters away behind him.

The road surface collapsed in front and back, and even Lian Ruohan, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change his face greatly, looking at Xia Xiang with a miserable face, losing his usual calm.

Cao Shumu was also so frightened that his face was bloodless, and he held Xia Xiang's hand tightly, and his body pressed closely: "Xia Xiang, I'm afraid!" ”

After all, she is the daughter of the director, and she has been smooth sailing since she was a child, where will she encounter the current dilemma with 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 furious: "Even Ruohan, you are smart and capable, if you had listened to Xia Xiang from the beginning, you wouldn't have to be stuck here now?" Well, now you have what it takes to turn your car into a helicopter and fly us back! Hmph, it's stupid for you to be a woman who has to make your own decisions on major matters. How can a woman be as rational as a man, you are really unreasonable. ”

Even Ruohan was accused by Mi Xuan, but he didn't refute it, he looked up coldly, and was shocked: "It's not good, landslide!" ”

Overhead, the naked eye can see a lot of fine sand and gravel rolling down, and in a moment it falls on the car, making the roof of the car clang. The sand-like sand and gravel didn't hurt anyone yet, but it was only a precursor now, and several people could clearly see that there was a boulder on it that was crumbling and it was only a matter of time before it fell. And once the boulder falls, it is where several people stand, that is, several people will be smashed to pieces.

Either jump off the cliff and fall to his death, or stay still and be stoned to death, Lian Ruohan ran out of ideas, and looked at Xia Xiang with a panicked face: "What should I do?" What to do? I've never been at such a grim time? Are you really going to die? ”

Cao Shumu hugged Xia Xiang tighter and muttered like a whisper: "You said that if we die together, will we never be separated in the future?" I'm not afraid to be with you. A few simple words, the girl's heart was undoubtedly revealed, Xia Xiang was a little moved, and felt that his shoulders were full of heavy responsibilities, he hugged Cao Shumu in his arms, kissed her forehead for the first time, and said softly: "With me, you won't die." ”

Xia Xiangyi stretched out his hand to open the car door and shouted: "Mucuna and Mi Xuan, get in the car quickly, the sooner the better!" Don't ask why, there's no time to explain right now. Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at Lian Ruohan, who was stunned on the side, "Don't stand, listen to my command!" Find a rectangular stone at once, the longer the better, one thick and the other thin, it is better to ...... quickly"

Lian Ruohan woke up in shock and asked in a trance, "What is it for?" ”

"Don't ask, just do it!" Xia Xiang was not polite, and stepped forward and pushed her, "You and I are responsible for finding a piece, whether it is dead or alive, it's all here." ”

Lian Ruohan was pushed by Xia Xiang's rough movements and almost fell, and was about to get angry, but he was facing him with a resolute expression and unquestionable eyes, and he couldn't help but feel afraid. She has always been used to not admitting defeat and being self-righteous, but today she somehow lost in the hands of a little hairy child in her opinion, which made her feel disgraced.

It's just that now is not the time to care about the gain or loss of face, she nodded obediently: "I listen to you." ”

Although even Ruohan is wearing a short skirt today, her movements are still very neat, jumping around in the rocks, regardless of her image, and there have been several times when her skirt has been blown up by the wind, and she has almost walked away without realizing it. In front of the spring, Xia Xiang was even more unintentional to appreciate, facing the choice of life and death, his sturdy body that he had practiced since he was a child played a role, and it didn't take long to find a long stone, which also met his requirements, one end was thin and one end thick, but it was a little heavy, more than 100 catties, he struggled to move the stone to the edge of the collapse in front of the mountain road, about a meter away from the big pit.

Even Ruohan found a stone, although it couldn't compare to the ideal that Xia wanted to find, but it was basically usable. She couldn't move the stone, so Xia Xiang carried it over with her, side by side, and asked, "Let's see if your wheels are as wide?" ”

Lian Ruohan understood what Xia wanted to do, and asked in surprise, "Do you want to fly over this big pit?" This pit is five or six meters away, and it takes a professional rider to do it! ”

"I'll do it, don't ask!" Xia Xiang used to be an off-road enthusiast, and when it comes to the proficiency of self-driving and driving, it is not something that Lian Ruohan can compare, men are born with an advantage over women in terms of skills.

The two of them gestured again, determined their position, and hurried back to the car. Lian Ruohan still wanted to compete with Xia Xiang for the right to drive, but he couldn't help but push him directly to the co-pilot. The gravel on the hillside is getting bigger and bigger, which is a sign that even if the top huge rock doesn't fall, they may be buried alive!

The current situation is urgent, and Lian Ruohan cannot be allowed to play a small surname again.

"Everybody sit down, fasten your seatbelts, don't move, don't shout, do you hear?" Xia Xiang took the lead as the backbone of the three women, Cao Shumu said "um" very obediently, Mi Xuan also nodded and fastened her seat belt, only Lian Ruohan wanted to say something, but was choked back by Xia Xiang's words, "A person should not make a mistake twice in one thing, now the surname of a car of people is in my hands, you don't want to be a drag on everyone!" Put away your last name, now is not the time for you to take your last name! ”

Lian Ruohan's face changed a few times, he opened his mouth, the stubbornness in his eyes slowly disappeared, he sat back in his seat, and fastened his seat belt without saying a word.

Xia Xiang took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, and his eyes were fixed on the two life-saving stones in front of him. He started the car, his hands gripping the steering wheel, and he felt his hands sweat. Can you not be nervous? The net worth of the three beautiful women in the car is tied to him, one is his favorite woman Cao Shumu, the other is the unknown surname Lian Ruohan, and the other is the mature and plump Mi Xuan, no matter which one is a first-class talent, they can pull the heartstrings of many people more than him, he must fight with all his might, he must completely calm down, and succeed in one fell swoop.

Because, between life and death, there is no option to fail, failure means death!

He pushed the car backwards for more than ten meters, until he retreated to the edge of the ditch behind, and then stepped on the brake with one foot, and pressed the accelerator to the end with the other foot, and then released the brake suddenly-the car was like a tiger descending the mountain, and the huge power of the four-wheel drive made a piercing tire grinding sound, and the car rushed forward, ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters, and one meter, Xia Xiang stared at the two life-saving stones with two eyes, kept fine-tuning the direction of the wheels, and felt the two front wheels suddenly slammed, and his heart tightened. Both hands subconsciously clenched the steering wheel, the front of the car was raised, and the whole body jumped into the air.

There was no sound in the car, no one dared to make a little noise, as if the sound also had weight, once it was spoken, it would add weight to the car, and it could not fly under the fatal ditch! Cao Shumu covered his mouth with both hands, lest he accidentally scream, but his eyes were fixed on Xia Xiang, there was tenderness, warmth, determination, and a trace of unwillingness and reluctance.

Mi Xuan simply closed her eyes and looked like she was resigned to fate.

Even Ruohan's eyes were inexplicably excited, and his face was no longer the panic just now, his eyes were full of excitement and surprise, as if flying was a fun little thing, not a big thing with a surname.

Still underestimated, Xia Xiang secretly wiped a cold sweat, and watched the front wheel of the car fall to the ground, while the left rear wheel fell on the edge of the big hole, the car fell to the ground suddenly, and then quickly tilted to the left rear, "Ah......", the car exclaimed!

Fortunately, the Land Rover car is four-wheel drive, Xia Xiang stepped on the accelerator, the two front wheels suddenly exerted force, a puff of green smoke came out, driving the heavy body to rush forward more than ten meters, and finally stopped steadily in the middle of the mountain road - everything was settled, he gasped for a few breaths, and then turned around and stretched out his hand to hold Cao Shumu's hand tightly.

Cao Shumu's eyes flashed with tears, her little hands were also tidal, her palms were warm, the backs of her hands were cold, and she nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Xia Xiang." ”

"Thank him for what? He's also here to save his life, not all to save you. After Mi Xuan was rescued, she didn't think about reciprocating, but immediately retaliated against Xia Xiang, and I don't know what she thought.

"I just want to thank him because he not only gave me a chance to live, but also gave me a chance to achieve my dreams. I decided that from now on, no one could stop me from achieving my dream, not even my father! Cao Shumu's face showed a resoluteness that she had never seen before, she grabbed one hand by Xia Xiang, and the other hand was clenched into a fist, waving it her chest.

"What dreams? It's the same as a marriage vow, not moved at all, and a little numb. Mi Xuan's mouth is a thorn, and no one will let go.

"I won't tell you, keep it a secret." Cao Shumu grinned again, and the flashing in his eyes was clearly full of love and longing.

Lian Ruohan leaned the seat, as if he was in deep prostration, and only smiled after half a sound: "Xia Xiang, I admire you a lot about today's events." ”

"The grace of saving lives, just say a word of admiration? Your admiration is really valuable, and I still admire you. Mi Xuan continued to sneer.

Lian Ruohan ignored Mi Xuan, and said to Xia Xiang: "For the next journey, I will trouble you to drive back to Ba County." Thank you. With that, she twisted her head to one side, closed her eyes slightly, and refused to say a word more.

It's rare that even my sister can thank someone, Xia Xiang smiled. Originally, he wanted to drive back in person, but to be honest, he didn't believe that Lian Ruohan could still stay calm, so it was safe for him to drive.

When passing by the impression of the Three Mountains Resort, Xia Xiang stared at it for a long time, and finally found that a group of construction workers were busy coming and going, and he was very relieved. Today is finally not in vain, now it is basically certain that the construction of the Three Mountains Resort is imminent, and it will not be long before the news of the start of the mountain road will be reported, and the next step will be to officially propose the tourism plan.

It's just that what makes him feel uncertain is that Liu Shixuan, who refuses to let go on the issue of Rolling Dragon Valley, if he discovers the huge economic value of the grassland in Ba County, will he also intervene and get a piece of the pie?

Lian Ruohan's sleeping beauty is really reverie, and when Xia wanted to look in the right rearview mirror, he accidentally glanced at her more. Her face is as delicate as a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and her facial features are so delicate that she cannot find any flaws, which makes people jealous of God's partiality and injustice.

Xia Xiang didn't dare to look at Lian Ruohan more, she was so beautiful, so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate, he couldn't be distracted now, the mountain road was still very rugged and difficult to walk, and he had to go all out. What he didn't know was that Lian Ruohan was actually pretending to sleep, she closed her eyes slightly, leaving a trace of afterglow, and was secretly looking at Xia Xiang.

Although Xia Xiang is two years older than her, in her opinion, before the man is less than 30 years old, after not experiencing many things, he has always been a little hairy child who does not grow up, acting frizzily, speaking impatiently, and being naΓ―ve, compared to a middle-aged man who has experienced strong winds and waves, a little boy in his 20s has no fruit at all, young and impulsive, simple-minded, and basically still in the young stage.

Lian Ruohan has no good impression of the hairy boy, in her opinion, men only have a taste when they are stable and mature, and the stability and maturity of men are reflected in the fact that they are not in a hurry, and they are always confident in everything.

The little boy who has never seen the wind and rain in the world and doesn't know the height of the sky is very different from the mature man who has a touching charm in every move, so she doesn't have any good feelings for boys of Xia Xiang's age, and even very disgusted with their hospitality, feeling that their flattery is superficial and crude, and it is not worth it.

Lian Ruohan's initial impression of Xia Xiang, although he felt that he was a little more mature than his peers, unlike others, showed great interest in her beauty, either trying to get close to her, or doing everything possible to please her - Xia Xiang's performance was much better than others, at least not so superficial and straightforward, she was relieved after seeing Cao Shumu, it turned out that he had such a beautiful little girlfriend, no wonder he was not interested in her, and his heart was somewhat balanced.
