Chapter 109 A Critical Moment
When I woke up, I felt difficulty breathing, and my limbs and joints were numb and painful all over, but I couldn't move at all.
Then I slowly regained consciousness and remembered that Xu Shu and I had driven off the cliff. Now... where was I? Was I dead?
My eyes went dark, and I felt two bulging masses in front and behind me, sandwiching me tightly. I wanted to raise my hands to move them away, but I couldn't because my arms were so weak.
The only thing I care about now is where is Xu Shu? Is she still alive? Because there is a huge object blocking me, plus it is dark, I can't see her.
I took a breath and called out weakly, "Xu Shu! Xu Shu! Are you there?"
There was total silence all around, no one answered me. I called a few more times, but still no response. My nose felt sore, and I almost cried, Xu Shu! You can't die! You are still so young, and there is a better life waiting for you!
No! How could I determine whether she was alive or dead before I saw her with my own eyes? I immediately realized that I had to find her!
But to find her I have to get out of trouble first. I realized that the people squeezed in front and behind me should be the life-saving airbags in the car. If this is the case, then Xu Shu might also be wrapped by the airbag, and his life would probably not be in serious danger.
I was delighted, so I mustered my strength and reached out to push the airbag in front of me. But the protection device of this foreign car was so good that no matter how hard I tried, it just wouldn't move. I thought about it for a while, untied the keychain from my belt with difficulty, touched the small scissors, and then stabbed the airbag in front of me fiercely. The airbag was deeply sunken inwards due to the force, and I didn't know what material it was made of, so something as sharp as scissors couldn't pierce it.
I continued to push and felt that I had reached the end. Suddenly, I heard a "hiss" sound of air leaking. I was delighted, and I finally punctured it .
The pressure in front of me suddenly eased. Without the support of the airbag, I suddenly slid down. I quickly reached out and grabbed the broken airbag skin to hold up my body.
My eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, and I could vaguely see something. I felt that the whole car was overturned, and my seat was on top, while Xu Shu's driver's seat was below me. I reached down and touched two air bags. But I didn't dare to stab them with scissors, for fear that Xu Shu would fall out if he lost the squeeze protection of the air bag.
I put my hand between the two air bags, trying to feel Xu Shu's body. But after searching for a long time, I couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
Xu Shu is not in there! I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
God! No!
I was so scared that I didn't care anymore and just picked up the scissors and stabbed him.
The air sac quickly deflated, and I carefully grasped the sac skin and leaned down. The scene in front of me immediately made me gasp!
The car door was already wide open, and underneath it was a dark void. The scary thing was that most of Xu Shu's body was hanging outside the car. If it weren't for the seat belt holding her, she would have fallen out of the car. And outside the car was the bottom of a cliff that was who knows how deep it was.
There was a strong cold wind blowing outside the car. Xu Shu's head was hanging upside down, his long hair fluttering in the wind, but he didn't move at all. It was unknown whether he was dead or unconscious.
I tried my best to calm my heart which was beating wildly with worry and fear. My mind was still clear. She was in danger of falling out of the car at any time, so I had to pull her out immediately.
I moved my body downwards, using my feet to find support for my body. I held the steering wheel with one hand and reached down with the other hand, firmly grabbing Xu Shu's clothes.
She was still wearing the sweater and jeans. I knew the jeans were strong enough to bear her weight without tearing. I grabbed the top of the jeans, took a deep breath, and used my hands and feet to lift Xu Shu up.
I was very careful, fearing that I would drop her if I wasn't careful. I would regret it for the rest of my life and would not be able to survive. So I used all my strength and moved slowly. While lifting her up, I gently untied the safety belt that was wrapped around her. Then I used both hands to pull her up and held her tightly in my arms. At this time, I realized that her skin was already cold.
I secretly told her no and quickly bent down to listen to her heartbeat. It seemed that there was still a faint response, but when I checked her breathing, it was barely there.
Suddenly, the entire car body made a "creaking" sound and shook slightly. I was so scared that I hugged Xu Shu tightly and dared not move. Through the car window that had no glass left, I finally saw the situation in front of me clearly.
We were actually halfway up the cliff. The car passed through countless trees and was finally caught by two trees that were thick enough for one person to hug. All the glass on the Lamborghini, including the lights, was shattered, and the car was severely deformed, but fortunately it did not catch fire or explode.
I couldn't help but praise Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, God, Jesus, Allah and all the gods from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad, and marveled at the miracle that happened. Even in this situation, I didn't die!
But the life or death of Xu Shu in my arms was still uncertain. The car kept shaking and it seemed that it might slide down the tree trunk and fall into the abyss at any time. It was too dangerous. I had to climb out immediately!
I supported my body with my feet, held the motionless Xu Shu tightly with one hand, and reached up with the other hand, groping for the door handle, ready to push the door open.
But the door seemed to be stuck after countless collisions. I pushed hard, but it didn't respond at all. Instead, the whole car body made a "creaking" sound.
Without the windshield in the car, the cold wind whistled through the car body, making my skin cold and painful, like a knife scraping. I was anxious to save Xu Shu and could no longer care about anything else. I gathered all my strength, carefully lifted her up, and slowly passed her through the car window, fearing that the remaining broken glass would scratch her.
Although the wind was biting cold, I was still so tired that sweat broke out on my forehead and I could only breathe heavily. I finally pushed her entire upper body out of the car and let her lie on the outside door. I felt a sharp pain in my hand. I didn't know when my skin was cut by the remaining glass.
But I didn't have time to care about such a small matter. I pushed her feet out again, then grabbed the window sill, pushed hard with my feet, and prepared to crawl out.
One of my feet was originally supported on the seat, and the other on the bottom of the car. When I exerted force, the foot supporting the bottom of the car slipped . My whole body immediately lost support and fell down. I subconsciously grabbed the window sill, but I didn't expect that a piece of broken glass would pierce my palm deeply. Under the great pain, I had to let go. But the other hand, which only relied on the strength of five fingers, could no longer bear my weight.
I felt my five fingers slipping and my whole body lost control. Under the influence of gravity, I started to fall.
Some people panic and lose their minds in times of crisis, while others are extremely clear-headed and quick to react. I am probably the latter.
When I lost all support and fell, the first thought in my mind was: "Oh no, there is a cliff below, I am going to fall to my death!"
Then he immediately thought, "No! We must find a way to stop the fall immediately!"
In a flash, most of my body began to fall out of the Lamborghini. My head hit the steering wheel uncontrollably, and then continued to fall.
But this collision really saved my life, and I immediately realized: hold on to it!
I didn't care about the pain anymore, I turned my injured hand over and grabbed it tightly. The whole car made a loud noise because of my pulling force, and began to move.
I held the steering wheel with one hand, my whole body hanging in the air, swaying in the wind, and below me was a bottomless abyss. Even though I was a man, I was still so scared that my heart almost stopped beating.
The Lamborghini made a creaking sound and suddenly sank, with one side sliding off the tree trunk and falling down. Fortunately, it was immediately caught by a branch and shook to avoid falling down.
I was shocked and broke into a cold sweat. Would Xu Shu also slide down? It seemed that the Lamborghini could not hold on for much longer. It could really fall off the cliff at any time. In order to save time, I had to find a way to get up immediately .
I took a deep breath, gathered my last bit of strength, pulled myself up, and reached out with my other hand to grab the edge of the door. Now I know that what the scholar said about being useless is really true. When a person is at a critical moment of life and death and needs to rely on your instinct and strength to save yourself, no matter how many books you have read, it is of no use and can't help you.
But sometimes when people are in the most critical moment, they can often burst out strength that they would never have in normal times for the sake of the people they love the most. At that time, the only thing in my mind was that I must not let Xu Shu slide out of the car, and I must take her to a safe place. Driven by this belief, I was able to do pull-ups, which I could not do normally. I held the steering wheel tightly, and half of my body had been pulled back into the car. I reached out to grab the seat, raised my feet, and put them on the edge of the car.
I was sweating profusely, but I finally climbed back up. Panting, I climbed up to the upper window again. I stuck my head out and saw Xu Shu lying on the car door.
I heaved a sigh of relief and was about to climb out carefully, but I heard the branches hanging at the rear of the car making a creaking sound and getting lower and lower.
The situation was not good. I no longer dared to climb out carefully, and regardless of whether there was broken glass, I pushed myself with both hands and my upper body was out of the car window.
The branches groaned in pain as they could not bear the weight of the car. When I quickly climbed out, I felt a sharp pain in my thigh, which was cut by the glass again. I had no time to care and got out quickly.
I saw a waist-thick branch lying horizontally in front of my head. I clasped it with both hands and climbed up. Then I clamped my legs tightly around it and leaned over to grab Xu Shu.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the tree branch at the rear of the car finally couldn't bear the weight of the car, and it broke with a "crack" sound, and the car body quickly tilted to one side. And Xu Shu's motionless body also slid down because of the tilt of the car body.
It happened so fast! At this critical moment, I stretched out my arm desperately, and moved from the branch to the bottom of the branch, firmly grasping Xu Shu's right wrist, and holding her in place.
The Lamborghini lost its support and finally slid down the cliff along with countless broken branches and leaves, disappearing into the darkness in an instant. I gritted my teeth and hung on the branch with only the strength of my legs. I held Xu Shu's wrist tightly with one hand, not daring to relax even a little.
A mountain wind blew violently, the leaves rustled, and Xu Shu's long hair fluttered in the wind. From my perspective, her eyes were closed and her face was pale. But her peerless beauty made me want to protect her at all costs, even if I was torn to pieces!
