Zero-sum game

The news that the program was canceled was officially announced, and everyone relaxed. The last day of filming ended successfully, and some additional scenes were to be filmed the next day. After noon, Zhou Xingchuan and Wan Yafei were ready to go back and continue filming.

Before departure, the sky was a little heavy, and it started to rain after a while, which didn't look too heavy, so the group of people still prepared to set off according to the original plan.

"The nanny's car has a low chassis, drive slowly on the road." Zhou Xingchuan told the driver.

Mo Rui carried a box of luggage into the car, replenished the water tank on the car, went around the car to check that there was no problem, and was the last one to get in the car.

After leaving Xiaohe Village, there is no cement road in the town, but simple roads paved with gravel, which are bumpy and sometimes muddy.

It was an extremely bumpy day, and Zhou Xingchuan asked a little worriedly, "Can we continue driving?"

The driver said: "No problem, it gets dark early when it rains, just arrive in town before dark, at most there are four or ten minutes to arrive."

Zhou Xingchuan didn't ask any more questions, and lay down with his eyes closed to rest his mind. Mo Rui handled the work with the tablet, typing quickly with his hands.

After driving for a while, he suddenly heard a bang outside the car. Zhou Xingchuan sat up and opened the blackout curtain to look, but he didn't find the source of the loud noise, but some dirt seemed to roll down from the side of the road next to the mountain, and the driver didn't stop.

"Did a rock roll down the mountain? Or..."

Before Zhou Xingchuan finished speaking, he suddenly felt a terrifying vibration coming from the soles of his feet. It wasn't just himself, it seemed that the whole car was trembling.

Mo Rui's expression was tense, and she reacted belatedly, "Could it be a mudslide..."

The driver broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness. From his position, he could see rocks of different sizes constantly appearing on the road ahead. He slammed on the accelerator and shouted: "It's a landslide! Hold on tight—"

Before the words were finished, a loud noise came from above the head, and a huge external force pushed the carriage to roll rapidly, causing chaos in the middle of the carriage.Zhou Xingchuan reached out and grabbed the handle on the top of the car door, but he couldn't help the impact, causing all kinds of items in the car to be scattered. It seemed that something metal was hit on his back, and he smelled a smell of fresh earth on his nose. In an instant, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and I don't know what the situation is.

On the day after sending out the report cards to the children, Shen Yan started to pack his luggage.

The teacher's winter and summer vacations don't seem to be free from doing anything with a salary. In fact, there are still a lot of training, teaching and research work, so most of the summer vacations he will live in the town for a period of time, so that he can follow arrangements to go to other schools for training and study.

He didn't tell Zhou Xingchuan about this, he arrived in town a day earlier than him.The training will not start until two days later. He knows that Zhou Xingchuan will rest in the town for one night after leaving Xiaohe Village this time, so he only waits on the road he must pass, intending to give him a small surprise.

The weather was weird that day, the sun was shining in the morning, and it started to rain suddenly in the afternoon. Shen Yan stood on the porch of the small hotel and looked at a pomegranate tree in the courtyard. The tree was tall, but the fruit it bore was small and yellow. , was beaten and swayed in the rain, and the hot raindrops splashed on his ankles, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.

So he didn't continue to stand there, turned around and walked back into the house.

The little girl at the front desk was bored drawing something with a pen, and a small TV was hung on the wall of Yiyi, which was broadcasting entertainment news from a local station.

It was getting dark, logically speaking, Zhou Xingchuan and the others should have arrived in town by this time.

Shen Yan glanced at his mobile phone, it has been an hour since the text message sent to Zhou Xingchuan, and there is still no reply.

He faintly felt restless.

Shen Yan tried to call Zhou Xingchuan's phone, but there was no answer after the mechanical sound.

He started to feel scared, so he quickly found out the notepad he was carrying with him, and called the village chief, who just couldn't tell, saying that he set off after noon, maybe it was raining and driving slowly on the mountain road, maybe he hadn't arrive.

But it was completely dark, and there was not much traffic in the town after nightfall, and the restaurant opposite had already lit up its neon lights.

Shen Yan called Zhou Xingchuan several times, but no one answered.

What happened?

The panic made him unable to think calmly. He sat on the edge of the sofa at the front desk of the hotel, and the little girl at the front desk greeted him, "Mr. Shen, aren't you going to eat yet?"

The town is only such a big place, and every time Shen Yan comes to stay here, the girl at the front desk already knows him.

Shen Yan shook his head and didn't answer, thinking about how else he could get news about Zhou Xingchuan, but the girl at the front desk said again: "Oh, there's another landslide, probably the second time this month."

Alarm bells rang out in Shen Yan's heart, he hurriedly stood up and asked, "The landslide?! Where is it?"

The little girl at the front desk showed him a message from a local WeChat group on her mobile phone, "Here, it seems to be the area from Xiaohe Village. The firefighters are saving people. It is said that two cars are buried underneath. I don't know how long it will take to dig it out. dig it out."

Shen Yan's hand holding the phone hangs down in vain. In just a few seconds of the video, the exposed car rolls over in the bushes. The exposed front and front windshield have been smashed and deformed. There are lots of dirt and stones.

Although he couldn't look carefully, he had a premonition that it was Zhou Xingchuan's car.

"Now...haven't been rescued yet?" He asked.

"I don't know..." The little girl saw that his face was not right, so she searched the news on the Internet, "This happened a few hours ago, and everyone inside was rescued, and they are now in the town hospital."

But then she subconsciously exclaimed, "I'm going! This is actually the car of Wan Yafei and Zhou Xingchuan buried here?! By the way, "Seeing Nanshan Leisurely" was filmed in Xiaohe Village..."

She still wanted to say something, but Shen Yan had already snatched the door away.

The last time I felt this close to death was when I had a car accident with Shen Yan.

As Zhou Xingchuan thought about it, he suddenly felt unwilling again in his sleep.The accident broke them up, and they just reconciled now, again?

In the haze, he felt as if he was standing on a cliff, with mountains shrouded in fog in front of him.

He had seen this kind of scene countless times when he was gliding, but it was the first time he felt so terrifying.There is no end to the endless fog and mountains. Standing on the cliff, the whole person trembles unconsciously.

Go back, go back, he has to go back...

Zhou Xingchuan turned around and wanted to leave, but found that there was also an endless cliff on the other side, with no end in sight. He woke up suddenly, his breathing was short, and he took a breath of cool wind, but instead coughed violently.

The cough moved his entire chest, and he realized that he must have been seriously injured, and the large pain made him unable to tell what was good and what was bad.

Shen Yan, who was holding a water bottle, came in from the outside, saw him lying on the bed with grinning teeth, hurried over, and said anxiously, "What's wrong? I'll call the doctor!"

Zhou Xingchuan blocked his hand that was about to ring the calling bell, and said, "It's okay, I just coughed..."

"Water... I bought straws..." Shen Yan dug out a pack of straws from the convenience store bag on the bedside table, mixed him with lukewarm water, and put the straws to his mouth.

Zhou Xingchuan took a sip of water before he remembered, "Why are you here? Could it be that I've been in a coma for several days?"

"No..." Seeing that he was indeed fine, Shen Yan was relieved, "I was waiting for you in the town, and I rushed to the hospital when I knew something happened to your car."

At this time, the sky outside was almost dawn, and Zhou Xingchuan knew that Shen Yan might not have slept all night, his eyes were extremely red, and his expression was a bit haggard.

He stroked Shen Yan's cheek with his hand without the indwelling needle, "...How about the others?"

"Everyone is fine. Wan Yafei's car was hit relatively lightly, but the driver of your car was seriously injured, with a broken leg and a concussion."

"The doctor said that one of your ribs is slightly fractured, and the others are considered minor injuries." Shen Yan held his hand and leaned on the edge of the bed a little tiredly, "It's a blessing among misfortunes."
