The car got on the highway and got closer and closer to the city. After nearly half the journey, we drove into a service area and took a rest.
Lin Xiaoyu pushed open the door and got out of the car and went to the bathroom. I looked back at Huang Li, who was sitting in the back.
Taking advantage of this solitude, I asked the question in my mind: "Teacher Huang, you insist on keeping that old wild ginseng plant, do you want to use it for research?"
Huang Li glanced at me angrily, "Research? Who am I doing so much research for? I It’s not for you!”
She looked at my somewhat surprised expression and continued to explain: “I haven’t found Cynomorium cynomorium. What if you have a sudden side effect and are in a critical situation? Wild old wild ginseng of this vintage has a very strong effect of replenishing vitality and strengthening the body. It can be your life-saving talisman at critical moments!”
I completely didn’t expect that she insisted on keeping this ginseng plant because of such considerations.
"So that's it..." I had mixed feelings in my heart, including gratitude to Huang Li for her thoughtfulness.
There are even more thorny problems that come with it, "I understand. But how can we explain it to Xiaoyu? The plan to buy a house may come to nothing again."
Huang Liyu Qi returned to his usual calmness: "Life is more important than a house. You have to figure out the explanation yourself." As he was speaking, Lin Xiaoyu's figure appeared outside the car and was walking towards this direction. Huang Li and I also stopped talking.
After resting for a while, we started on the road again, thinking about how to explain to Lin Xiaoyu.
不能把野山参留下来的真正目的告诉她，可要是不尽快买房，我又怕跟她关系越来越疏远。
The car drove back to the city and first sent Huang Li downstairs to her residence.
She hugged the backpack containing old wild ginseng and got out of the car without saying a word. She just nodded to us and turned around to leave.
Lin Xiaoyu and I returned to the old community we shared, parked the car, and started moving down the local specialties.
At this moment, my cell phone rang. Take it out and take a look.
I pressed the answer button, put the phone between my shoulder and my ear, and walked upstairs with the souvenirs in both hands.
"Hello, Zhang Wei?"
"Chen Hao, are you back?" Zhang Wei's voice was anxious on the other end of the phone.
"I just came back and I was moving things, what's wrong?"
"Stop moving! Come to the station quickly, something happened!" Her tone was fast and urgent.
I kept my voice steady and asked: "What happened? Speak slowly."
"He Shiyu was hit by a car!" Zhang Wei told the reason.
"What?!" The two bags of souvenirs in my hand fell to the ground.
"I'll be there right away!" I hung up the phone, without bothering to pick up souvenirs, and said quickly to Lin Xiaoyu: "The rider at the station had a car accident, I have to go to the scene immediately!"
Lin Xiaoyu turned around and asked, "Is it serious?"
"The specific situation is not clear yet! We won't know until we get there." I just want to rush over now.
She didn't ask any more questions, but just reminded: "Be careful when driving."
I ran downstairs and got into the car, and the car quickly turned around and drove out of the community.
Hunting to the scene of the traffic accident, the blue and red overhead lights of the 120 ambulance were spinning silently.
He Shiyu was lying on a stretcher and was being carried to the car by medical staff.
Zhang Wei was having a heated argument with a fashionably dressed and emotional young woman. The woman was waving her arms and speaking in a shrill voice. She was obviously the driver who caused the accident.
I pushed aside the crowd and rushed to the stretcher first: "Shiyu, how are you? Where are you injured?"
As soon as He Shiyu saw me, tears welled up and her voice was crying: "Brother Hao, my feet hurt so much..."
I subconsciously looked at her legs. The left trouser leg was torn from the knee down, and there was a lot of blood on the calf and ankle.
It looks shocking, and it is temporarily impossible to tell whether the bones are injured.
一旁的急救医生快速说：「你是伤者家属是吗？跟车一起去医院，需要办理手续。」
我立刻转头，冲着还在和女司机理Zhang Wei shouted: "Zhang Wei! Stop arguing with her, follow the car to the hospital first! Leave the scene to me!" Zhang Wei turned her head when she heard the sound, with anger still on her face, and glared at the female driver.
She suppressed her anger and walked to the ambulance: "Okay, leave it to me at the hospital!" She opened the door and followed the medical staff into the car.
The ambulance door closed, the siren sounded, and it quickly drove away from the scene.
I then turned around and looked at the female driver who still looked unhappy.
The female driver screamed in the direction of the ambulance that was going away: "You hit my car like this and you still want to run? That makes sense, right? Don't run!"
She shouted, actually trying to catch up with the car.
I stepped forward and stood between her and her car, forcing her to stop.
I suppressed the anger that surged in my heart: "This lady, I am the person in charge of the takeout site. My rider is injured now and needs to go to the hospital for treatment. I will take full responsibility for handling the problems here and will not run away."
I will not run away."
I will not run away."
I will not run away."
I will not run away."
I will not run away."
I will not run away." She looked me up and down, her voice still sharp: "Are you responsible? Can you bear this responsibility? Look at my car!"
She pointed to the obvious scratch mark on the front bumper of her car, "This is a new car!"
"The traffic police will determine the responsibilities for the damage to the car, and we will pay whatever compensation is needed." I don't know who is responsible for this accident, so I can only wait.
The female driver saw my firm attitude and pointed at my nose: "Are you responsible? Then you'll pay for it!"
I repeated what I just said: "I'll wait for the traffic police to determine the responsibility. I'll listen to the traffic police's decision."
"Waiting for the traffic police? How long will it take for them to come?" She almost screamed.
「我告诉你，除了修车费，你还得赔我误工费、精神损失费！」
她喋喋不休数落着，各种离谱的要求层出不穷，仿佛她才是受害者。
I still said the same thing: "I listen to the traffic police!"
"What kind of attitude do you have!" She saw that I was being ignored, and she became even more furious.
I still only have the same sentence: "I said, wait for the traffic police. Let's wait until the traffic police comes."
This indifferent attitude obviously made her feel as helpless as a fist hitting cotton.
After a while, two traffic policemen came to the scene and began to investigate.
One of the older traffic policemen first asked the female driver carefully about her driving route, then walked to her vehicle, took off the driving recorder and checked it on the spot.
"Based on the driving recorder and on-site investigation," the traffic policeman looked at the female driver.
"You were driving in the wrong direction when passing through this intersection, which is the direct cause of this accident, so you must take full responsibility!"
The expression on the female driver's face instantly became ugly: "What? I'm driving in the wrong direction? Impossible! Did you understand..."
