Chapter 192 Danger Emerges
Chen Xuewu drove on that section of the highway for less than an hour, and Juanzi couldn't help frowning: "Uncle Chen, do you know that we are already driving on the highway?" β
Chen Xuewu glanced at him: "I knew at the time. Do you think I'm old and confused? β
"Ha, since you know that we are on the highway, but you control the speed at 50 miles, do you still think that this is a leisurely walk on the street?"
Chen Xuewu immediately explained: "Although the snow on the road has been melted by the rut marks, the road surface is still very slippery, and if we drive at high speed, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop the car in an emergency." So, I have to be cautious. β
"Ahem, look at the other cars, they're all ahead of us. Everyone is fine, why are you so careful? β
Chen Xuewu's expression became very solemn: "Let's not take chances at any time. If an accident does happen, I'm afraid it's too late to regret it. In everything we do, we must go at our own pace, and we must not be led into the ditch by others. If people want to throw themselves into the river, should we jump with them? β
Juanzi pouted: "Uncle Chen, I think you are good at everything, but you are too cautious, a little too conservative." At your pace, when will we be home? β
"Haha, didn't you say before that you wanted to enjoy the scenery along the way, are you in a hurry to go home?"
"Alas, this is on a closed highway, where can there be any scenery to enjoy? Besides, aren't you in a hurry to see my mother? β
"But your mother wants us to return safely..."
Di Di Di...
At this moment, Chen Xuewu's mobile phone suddenly rang and interrupted him.
Chen Xuewu's attention was still in front, but he just swept the mobile phone on the operating table with his eyes, and then ordered Juanzi: "You answer the phone instead of me." β
"Okay!"
Juanzi stretched out her hand to pick up her mobile phone and looked at it, and her eyes couldn't help but light up: "Ha, let's talk about Cao Cao, my mother's phone has arrived." β
Chen Xuewu's solemn eyes suddenly softened, and urged Juanzi: "Answer the phone quickly, don't let her worry." β
Juanzi answered the phone according to her words: "Hey, Mom? β
Qi Shunmin has always been relieved, and when she had to dial her husband's phone, when she heard that her daughter answered the phone, she couldn't help asking, "Where is your Uncle Chen?" β
"Of course he's driving. Is there something you can do? β
"It's nothing, I'm just worried about you."
"Hehe, you don't have to worry. He drives cautiously and promises that he will be fine. β
"That's good. Tell him to be careful and not to be in too much of a hurry. β
"Ha, you two really have the same heart. Even if you don't tell him, he drives like an old ox pulling a cart. β
"Alas, don't you say that Uncle Chen, don't you know that 'if you want to hurry, you can't reach it'? I believe in him. β
Juanzi couldn't help but glance at Chen Xuewu's somewhat smug eyes, and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
"Juanzi, where are you now?" Qi Shunmin didn't wait for Juanzi to express his position, and asked with concern.
Juanzi immediately replied: "You can wait patiently at home." Our car has just arrived at the next stop in Beijing. When we first set off from Beijing, it was 1,806 kilometers away from our provincial capital, and now we have been driving for more than an hour, and we have only traveled about 50 kilometers. β
"Ahh
Juanzi immediately said angrily: "You, just now you praised him for driving steadily, and now you are in a hurry, right?" β
Chen Xuewu didn't wait for his beloved wife to reply, and immediately shouted at the mobile phone: "Xiaomin, don't worry, don't be too anxious." Little by little, I'm getting closer to you. So, you don't call more. β
Qi Shunmin looked very emotional: "I know that you are working the road, how can you rest easy at home?" I must stay with you all the time. β
Chen Xuewu was excited in his heart and didn't say anything more.
Juanzi disagreed: "Hey, if you care about us like this, it won't help us, but it can only interfere." So, you leave us alone. After all, there's still a long way to go home. β
Qi Shunmin was reserved for a moment before whispering: "When I call next time, I will call your number." β
After Juanzi hung up the phone, she couldn't help but tease her stepfather: "You two really have a heart, but the motivation for caring for each other is not the speed at which you go home, but the caution." β
Chen Xuewu smiled indifferently: "Actually, we are both eager to understand and see each other. But, as your mother just said, I know what to do to get home safely and quickly. β
"Oh, what did she say?"
"If you want to hurry, you can't get there!"
Juanzi's eyebrows frowned slightly, but then they stretched out again. Although she complained that her stepfather was driving too carefully, the current situation was not something she could control.
After driving for a while, Chen Xuewu's eyes suddenly changed, and he subconsciously stepped on the brakes.
Before Juanzi could ask what was going on, she was stunned by what she was looking forβa car that had just overtaken them suddenly came to a standstill, and a rear-end collision was about to occur.
Although Chen Xuewu stepped on the brakes in time, he glanced at the reversing mirror, his face changed again, and he immediately hit the steering wheel.
The slowing car immediately changed lanes and scurried onto the rightmost emergency lane.
Boom!
Because the vehicle behind was too fast to brake, Chen Xuewu's new car suddenly dodged and immediately crashed into the vehicle in front.
At this time, Chen Xuewu had already stopped in the emergency lane, and he and Juanzi were stunned when they looked at the situation outside the car again.
It turned out that the car in front was forced to stop after a rear-end collision with a car in front of it. And further ahead, there are at least seven or eight cars in tandem that are chasing each other's tails. And the cars behind Chen Xuewu's car also joined them.
Juanzi witnessed the scene of a series of car rear-end collisions, and was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.
After Chen Xuewu was stunned for a moment, he quickly started the car again, and through the emergency lane, he squeezed past the side of those vehicles that were rear-ended.
"It's dangerous. We barely got caught in it. β
Juanzi and the others left the dangerous place, and couldn't help but hold their chests, and still had palpitations.
Chen Xuewu had already come to his senses at this time, and said solemnly: "If we drive as fast as them, even if I want to dodge, I won't be able to react at all." β
"You're doing it right. But why did you just drive away? β
"The purpose of my drive away is not to let our vehicles block the emergency lane. Because the vehicles behind may be rerouted to this lane in order to avoid these rear-end vehicles. β
Juanzi listened to Chen Xuewu's explanation, and still looked puzzled: "But after you drove the car out of the emergency lane, why didn't you stop to participate in the rescue?" β
Chen Xuewu explained: "I just hurriedly browsed the vehicles that were rear-ended, and found that the situation was not too serious, and there were no seriously deformed vehicles. This means that they are not driving too fast, and the reason for the rear-end collision is that the road is too slippery. Since there is no danger to the lives of the people involved, what can we do to help them when we get out of the car? So, let's let the police deal with it. β
Juanzi couldn't help but nodded: "Yes." It will also affect our itinerary. β
After a while, Juanzi found that no vehicle had overtaken them, and couldn't help but question: "Uncle Chen, the car you drove is not fast, why is there no other vehicle overtaking?" β
Chen Xuewu asked rhetorically: "Do you see that there are still vehicles behind us?" β
Juanzi looked back and was suddenly surprised: "Why don't we even have a car behind us?" β
"That's because the cars behind you are all blocked."
"Wow, that's horrible."
Chen Xuewu pondered for a while before explaining: "Fortunately, this car serial rear-end collision incident happened to be found in front of our eyes, and we can still break through the emergency lane in time." If we were to go further back, we would also be stuck behind. β
Juanzi was puzzled again: "I obviously found out that there was a rear-end collision in one lane, but why didn't the vehicles behind pass through the fast lanes or emergency vehicles on both sides of it?" β
"Because this is a multi-vehicle rear-end collision, it must have affected other lanes. Because as long as the vehicle involved in the accident spreads to both sides, it is equivalent to blocking the lanes on both sides of it. β
Juanzi finally admired: "You are so powerful, you know so much." β
Chen Xuewu smiled humbly: "I have lived in Beijing for a long time, and I have also experienced this aspect of life when I was engaged in creation. I knew that it would be difficult to control the car when the road was covered with snow, so I controlled the speed. When I found that the vehicle in front of me was rear-ended, I subconsciously braked urgently, but I caught a glimpse of the vehicle following us without signs of slowing down, and I was worried that I would be rear-ended by the other party, so I had to take evasive measures. I wanted to change lanes in the fast lane on the left, but I noticed that the traffic in that lane was dense and fast, so I had to turn into the emergency lane on the right. β
Juanzi couldn't help sighing: "It seems that when driving on the highway, you must have a fast reaction ability, because danger will happen without warning." β
Chen Xuewu nodded with a smile: "Your understanding is quite high." β
Juanzi smiled bitterly: "Don't fool me. I started to think that driving on the highway was a pretty comfortable thing to do. There are no intersections, and there are no on-going vehicles, so you can ride the river in a flat way. But it's not as simple as I thought. I'm driving on this now, it's actually dangerous. β
Chen Xuewu solemnly said: "In fact, there is no absolute safety or danger in this world. If we can be careful, we can minimize the risk factor in things that are considered dangerous. But if we are careless, even what we think is safe will cause a lot of safety risks. β
Juanzi nodded: "You are too philosophical. I adore you so much. β
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuewu's eyes suddenly changed color again, and he slowed down again and pulled the car to the rightmost lane.
"What's the matter..." Juanzi's words were not finished, and the eyes looking forward changed again.
It turned out that at a fork in the road ahead, several police cars were parked, and several lanes were completely blocked.
"What's going on?"
Chen Xuewu turned the car towards the fork in the road and said with a wry smile: "Didn't you just say that it is dangerous to drive on the highway?" They don't let us go up there now. β
"Why is that?"
"I guess they closed it because of the frequent accidents on the highway."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Since they won't let me go. Then we had to take the national highway instead. β
Juanzi thought for a while, then smiled: "That's fine." You don't drive fast anyway. I just happened to enjoy the scenery along the way. β
Unexpectedly, Chen Xuewu frowned: "This is not good news for me. This is because driving on national highways can be more complicated. β
After a heartbeat, Juanzi couldn't help but say angrily: "Don't scare me. With your caution, could something happen? β
"Well, do you think that whenever there is a traffic accident, it must be the responsibility of the driver? In fact, some car accidents are beyond the driver's control. β
When Juanzi heard this, she couldn't help but clasp her palms together: "God bless us all the way!" (To be continued.) )
