Chapter 15: Accidents
It was a Guangfu hatchback. Bright red, dazzlingly bright. It was like a speeding fire on the road, and the smoke and dust raised were higher than the large trucks that had just passed by.
Li Qingyan knew that there was probably only one such car in the entire Beishan City. It's not that it's expensive, it's because the model has been out of production for more than four decades. Even the "Liberation" sign disappeared because the last remnants of the old dynasty collapsed at the beginning of World War II.
"The people you see for a while may not belong to the mainstream of this society. Li Qingyan said in a gradually louder roar, "It's okay to talk less." β
The girl hummed a little dazedly.
The car has a nice tail flick and stops. The direction changed from going out of the city to entering the city.
A young man with fiery red hair immediately jumped out and shouted, "Brother Yan, what's the matter?
When he saw the star fruit, he shouted, "Huh, who is this sister?"
Star fruit noticed that the long-faced young man also had a bracelet on his wrist.
"Get in the car first. Li Qingyan patted him on the shoulder and said briefly.
The young man was obedient and immediately went back in. But the mouth didn't stop. When Li Qingyan and star fruit got into the car, they nagged a lot to themselves-
"Lao Yan called me!"
"Last night, the calves of the Red Gang said that they had arrested you, saying that they had to take you away and that they had old accounts to settle, so they told Lao Yan not to care. Can this be ignored? I knew in the morning that Xin'er was coming to pick you up. You see, Lao Yan gave it to me. β
The kung fu of speaking had already started the car, and the star fruit was pressed against the back seat of the back seat by inertia for a moment.
And what he pulled out of his inner pocket was a revolver. The style of the thirties of the last century.
Li Qingyan smiled at the co-pilot: "I've already done it." The Red Gang was unlucky, and met a fifth-level monk at the checkpoint. As soon as I looked at it, it was almost all dead. β
"Where's the big black bull?"
"Not dead. β
"It's a shame. β
"Lu Buxiu, less swearing. β
The young man grinned, "Oh. Am I not in a hurry. Damn it. β
Carambola couldn't help but burst out laughing. Lu Buxiu glanced at her in the rearview mirror, glanced at Li Qingyan again, and smiled evilly: "Brother Yan, this sister ......"
"It's really my sister. Li Qingyan said seriously.
"Hey??" Lu Buxiu dragged out his voice to express surprise and doubt, "When did you have a sister?
Li Qingyan smiled: "When I was in the wasteland before, one day I was scattered by the city defense team's bandit squad and those people. Ran to the May Fourth Farm. There was a couple who took care of me for a few days and avoided the limelight. β
"Oh, oh, oh......" Lu Buxiu patted the steering wheel, "I remember this, you said it!"
Li Qingyan sighed again and looked at the star fruit in the rearview mirror: "Her parents are not here now." β
"Understood!Brother Yan, you are high-righteousness!this!" Lu Buxiu gave a thumbs up, "Sister, don't worry, you are Brother Yan's sister and my sister." Call me brother in the future!"
Carambola now understands what Li Qingyan meant by the phrase "I never lie" at the checkpoint.
She thought about it for a while, plucked up her courage and said, "Brother Lu." β
Lu Buxiu smiled: "Yes, I also have a sister." β
The speed of the car is extremely fast, but the car itself is not very bumpy. After a while, buildings began to appear on both sides of the car windows. At first it was a large bungalow, then an old two-story three-story four-story building. By the time Lu Buxiu slowed down the car, there were already more and more cars on the road.
Star fruit gradually realized the difference between the streets in the city and the streets in the farm's living quarters. The ones in the city are dirtier and noisier, but they're also a little busier. This should be the edge of the city, and the tall pale cyan buildings in the distance have not yet been revealedβshe has experienced for the first time how big the largest city in the Republic, Kitayama City, is.
When I finally drove into the bustling city, the roads became cleaner, and I could see the lush greenery on both sides and the tall buildings behind me, I was relieved.
She actually ran to Beishan City. In just one day's work, the May Fourth Farm seems to have become a distant memory.
She couldn't help but lean over the window and look out, feeling that everything was fresh. The men and women on the road dress in a distinctly different style from the people on the farm. She felt that several of the girls she saw were like "stars" on TV.
Then she realizes that she used to be able to watch the news only on the farm, but now she is in the place where the news is happening.
Then, she didn't know when, she fell asleep.
Once the highly tense emotions are relaxed slightly, the tired, hungry, thirsty, sleepless body takes control of itself.
I was woken up because of the sudden braking. She slept crooked in the back seat, feeling dizzy when she woke up. Then I heard Lu Buxiu scolding: "You don't fucking know how to drive-"
Then there was Li Qingyan's voice: "No end, okay." β
There was a lot of noise outside the car, there seemed to be several people talking, and the sound of other cars honking. Star fruit panicked, and quickly got up and looked at the car window.
The car was parked crookedly at a three-way intersection, half of which rushed onto the sidewalk. But it didn't. There was a silver bun parked in front.
It was the car that suddenly stopped, and Lu Buxiu almost rear-ended.
The owner of the van was a weathered woman, and when she got out of the car, she stared at her to see if her car had been broken. Lu Buxiu then remembered to check his car.
Li Qingyan looked at the half-exposed face of the star fruit in the car window and motioned for her not to come out. Then walk to the front of the van.
Before the car suddenly stopped, he seemed to see flashes of light. It was as if something had fallen from the sky. But it was fast, and he was thinking about something else, so he didn't pay attention.
Then he saw a hole in the pavement - the size of a basin. There was white air bubbling inside, making a "hissing" sound.
The road was blocked, and five or six people had already gathered. Someone leaned closer to look inside, stunned: "What is this??!"
Li Qingyan stood behind them, but he could see clearly. He thought it should indeed be a meteorite.
The size of a fist, and a dark red light, smashed into the road for more than ten centimeters.
He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - it looked like an accident. In fact, he has been on guard against possible situations since he entered the city, but the current situation is obviously not man-made. If it was done by a cultivator or an uncontrolled demon clan, it should be possible to detect abnormalities on this stone - there will be spiritual power remaining. Some means can reduce the residue to unimaginable levels, but they definitely can't fool his keen sense.
At this time, the owner of the van also came over and squeezed into the crowd. When I saw the thing, my face turned pale, and I said "Compassion, mercy." If she had been slower, she would have been crushed to death by this thing.
But Li Qingyan still felt a little heavy in his heart.
What's wrong?
