Chapter 408 Hold Me Tight!
David's left hand was already on the left-side car door; he was about to get out.
Ye Chu pounced on him, lay on his lap, grabbed Dawei's hands, and looked at Dawei in horror, shouting, "What are you doing!"
You're crazy.
Didn't you see the big snake outside?
It could swallow me whole.
Are you still going out?
David pulled her hand and urged, "The snake is just moving house, it won't turn back. Hurry up, or it'll be too late."
"What if there are other big snakes?" Director Ye was so anxious he was about to cry, his eyes were red: "I've been afraid of these smooth-skinned creatures since I was a child, like bullfrogs, earthworms, and snakes. Just seeing them makes my hair stand on end."
"If we don't leave now, this place might collapse!" David shouted.
Ye Chu was taken aback: "What?"
David said very seriously, "I know you look down on our rural areas."
But let me tell you, the countryside has its own way of doing things.
My grandfather told me when I was little that if you encounter a large snake moving its nest, you should run away as fast as you can.
Because the giant snake sensed danger.
It could be an earthquake, a flash flood, a landslide, or something like that.
In short, its ability to live so long and grow so big is definitely not without reason.
That's because the snake knew how to avoid danger.
We are in danger.
Run away quickly!
David opened the car door and got out.
Ye Chu didn't get out of the car. He closed the door and sat inside alone.
David stood anxiously outside the car, banging on the window: "Hey, come down quickly!"
Director Ye was somewhat skeptical of Dawei's words, wondering what he meant by "what are you talking about?"
Does seeing a few snakes mean there's going to be a disaster?
Then what's the point of having an earthquake bureau? And what's the point of having a meteorological bureau?
Country bumpkin.
She doesn't believe it.
Moreover, David just yelled at her and criticized her.
snort!
"I'm not getting off. If you want to leave, then leave by yourself."
What's so great about me?
I am a member of the urban petty bourgeoisie.
I am a heartless woman.
"The woman you look down on!"
The fairy was unhappy.
David grew increasingly anxious. If something went wrong, how could he explain it to the provincial authorities? He quickly opened the car door. Heavy rain poured into the back seat.
"Come down quickly, let's go!"
I'm not kidding you.
"What is it? Let's talk about it when we get down the mountain."
Director Ye simply tossed his head and ignored him.
The raindrops slid across David's face, making his features appear even more defined.
The combination of the scholar's composure and the official's domineering presence made him incredibly attractive.
Seeing someone so anxious in the rain made Ye Chu feel bad too.
"It's not as mystical as you make it out to be!"
"We can't take risks, listen to me... good sister, come down."
The word "good sister" made Ye Chu's heart flutter and his body tremble slightly: "How can we walk on this road full of muddy water?"
These are my new clothes and new shoes.
Master Lin and the others will be back soon.
Just get on the bus and sit down to wait.
There's no such thing as bad luck.
If we're really that unlucky, we might slip and fall off a cliff to our deaths while walking down the mountain.
Let's just wait in the car.
I hate mud.
Dawei rubbed the rain off his face. It seemed this woman wasn't going to listen to him. He said angrily, "You're really precious. Tingting has come here so many times, always running off to the countryside. I've never seen her act like you."
There was no other way but to use reverse psychology.
But what he didn't expect was that this trick worked on men, but on women... it would only have the opposite effect.
Especially mentioning another woman in front of one woman is a major taboo.
Director Ye immediately exploded.
"yes!
She's fine.
She's good at everything.
You just think she's better, and you always compare me to others, thinking I'm inferior to them.
Then what are you still doing here?
Go away.
Don't worry about me.
"I'm not going to die, and even if I did, you wouldn't be responsible."
As she continued to curse, tears began to fall.
David just can't stand seeing women cry.
He had no choice but to get back into the car, close the door, and apologize politely.
"That's not what I meant... I'm sorry, I was just being impulsive and said things without thinking."
You and she are both very good.
I consider you a good friend.
I am very grateful for your previous help to Yuanshan County and to me personally.
Without you, Yuanshan Fruit Industry wouldn't have been able to start, and my work wouldn't have gone so smoothly.
But dear sister, I didn't lie to you.
That situation could have been really dangerous.
Come with me. I'll help you, I'll carry you, I won't let you fall.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chuxin softened: "Never mind, I won't hold it against you."
How can you carry me on such a slippery road?
I'll just walk by myself.
After saying that, Ye Xiangju was about to take off her shoes, intending to leave her new leather shoes in the car and change into the water boots and raincoats that Dawei and the others had prepared.
Just then.
A low, creaking sound came from the mountainside on the right.
It was the sound of a tree breaking.
Then came another dull rolling sound, like a stone sliding down.
"not good!"
Dawei shouted loudly.
He grabbed Ye Chu and tried to escape.
But by then, it was too late...
The car suddenly moved forward; in fact, the entire road surface, along with the car, moved forward.
A huge crack appeared in the mountainside on the right, and then mud, rocks, clods of earth, and trees began to collapse, tearing apart a large section of the mountainside along with the mountain road.
Landslide!
The car began to roll down the cliff.
"ah--"
Section Chief Ye Xiangju screamed in a shrill voice.
David pulled her into his arms and held her head, saying, "Hold on tight!"
Ye Xiangju closed her eyes and hugged Dawei's waist.
David braced his feet on the floor, rested his elbows on the car door to stabilize himself, and lowered his head.
The car rolled and tumbled along the mountain cliff.
The two people in the car felt dizzy.
After rolling around for what seemed like a few times, the car finally came to a stop with a thud. Looking around, it appeared to be stopped on a riverbed below a cliff.
David tried to push the door open, but found it blocked by a tree.
Ye Xiangju sat up from Dawei's waist: "I'm still alive... Where are we?"
David looked up and was immediately filled with despair: "Whether I live or die, it's probably too early to say."
"What...?"
Ye Xiangju followed Dawei's gaze and looked up at the mountainside, where she saw a large amount of soil sloping down...
It instantly swallowed their car.
The surroundings suddenly went dark.
Fortunately.
On the right side, there was a broken tree trunk lying across the car, which created some space and reduced the direct pressure of the mud on the car.
"Landslide and mudslide."
"Ye Xiangju, I'm afraid we're finished..."
David called him by his first name, sounding somewhat desperate.
Ye Xiangju stared wide-eyed, pounded on the car window, and cried for help, but immediately realized that it was all in vain.
Then she felt guilty and started to cry.
"It's all my fault..."
If we had listened to you and gotten off the bus immediately, we might have escaped.
I'm such a jinx.
I'd rather die myself than drag you down with me.
David, I'm sorry...
In the darkness, Ye Xiangju touched Dawei's face, cupped his face, gently stroked it, and then hugged him.
