Chapter 8: The Car Accident

  Yuanchi was shocked in his heart and hastily asked: "What's going on?"

  The flaxen-haired youth seemed to have rushed back all the way, panting like a cow, and his face was even more crimson after saying this.

  His name is Cai Wen, one of the twelve people who stayed behind. His parents also had some savings and bought a house on the left side of Yuanxi, becoming neighbors.

  Because of Yuanxi's lifesaving grace, they have always been very enthusiastic about Yuanxi's family. Except for the first month when Lin SuYun closed the door to thank guests, they often came and went, and their relationship was very good. So, when Yuan Yucheng got into trouble, Cai Wencan would be so anxious.

  Yuan Xi saw Cai Wen like that and didn't bother to let him elaborate, urging him: "Where is my uncle? Take me there."

  Tsai Wen nodded frantically and was about to run out.

  Lin Su Yun was holding Xiao Yuan Zhe in her bedroom and also came out upon hearing the noise, asking: "What's going on?"

  Lin Su Yun was not an ordinary woman, in fact many times her personality was stronger than a man's, so Yuan Xi didn't think of hiding it from her: "Something has happened at Uncle Yuan's place, Xiao Wen came to call me, I'll go take a look."

  Upon hearing this, Lin Su Yun's expression didn't become flustered, she only furrowed her brow and said to Yuan Xi: "You hurry off, I'll stay at home and take care of Xiao Zhe, if anything happens just contact me."

  Yuanchi nodded, put on his shoes and was about to leave when he hesitated for a moment, returned to the bedroom and tucked the light pulse gun, which looked like a remote control, into his pocket. Being cautious never hurts.

  Cai Wen rushed along with Yuan Xi on this road, and Cai Wen also told Yuan Xi everything he knew.

  Yuan Shu was actually in a car accident!

  On the blue planet, because the Federation did not provide a large amount of material resources, the level of science and technology was not high. There were no flying cars, but there were cars that ran on the ground.

  The island where Yuan Xi and the others were located was the largest one on the entire Blue Star, directly named after the Blue Star as Blue Island. The population density of Blue Island was high, with a total of over 800,000 people. This number was small enough to be negligible in the entire Federation, but there were only about 2 million people on this planet, and Blue Island accounted for nearly 50%, already considered the most prosperous island.

  It's also because of this that the development on Blue Island is more thorough, with well-developed ground transportation and a larger number of vehicles coming and going. Without the main planet's perfect urban intelligent system, it still relies entirely on human operation, making accidents difficult to avoid.

  Yuanchuan's heart sank as soon as he heard about the car accident. As a 20th-century earthling, he had seen too much of this kind of thing - so many lives lost, so many families torn apart.

  He just got a family... Yuan Xi shook his head fiercely, this is not the time to be disheartened, he needs to cheer up and take stock of the situation. Now in the future society, medical conditions are hundreds of times better than before, no matter what, he won't let anything happen to Uncle Yuan.

  They hailed a taxi and arrived at the hospital in just five minutes. Yuanyu got out of the car and rushed in without stopping, and after asking around, they found the ward.

  Until he pushed open the door of the ward and saw Yuan Yucheng leaning against the bed, resting, Yuan Xi's heart that had rushed to his throat finally returned to its place.

  This is a single room, the conditions are not bad at all. The bed was tilted at an angle of forty-five degrees, and Yuan Yu was leaning on it, looking calm as usual, without any signs of serious injury.

  Yuán Yùchéng wasn't good at expressing his emotions, and he was even a bit wooden in his daily life. But when he saw Yuán Xī, he smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just a minor scratch, no need to make a big deal out of it."

  Although he already knew that nothing was wrong with him, when Yuan Yu Cheng said so, Yuan Xi finally felt relieved and now had the mood to look around.

  There are three other people in the ward, an old man with half-white hair who looks to be in his seventies or eighties, a slightly chubby middle-aged man and a young girl with a ponytail.

  As soon as he saw Yuan Xi coming in, the slightly chubby middle-aged man hurried over, grabbed Yuan Xi's hand and said: "Ah, you're my old brother Yuan's son, aren't you? Oh dear, you don't know, thanks to your uncle Yuan, if it wasn't for his timely rescue, this old father of mine would have...would have..." He didn't finish the rest of his words, his voice started to choke.

  The young girl quickly supported him, her delicate face filled with gratitude, seemingly mixed with a few parts of guilt and fear.

  Yuanyu first had them all sit down before he understood the whole story.

  This family is surnamed Wang, Yuan Xi was right, Old Man Wang is already eighty years old. In the future, people's lifespan has not made any significant breakthroughs. Although many diseases can be cured, they cannot withstand the physical decline of aging. One hundred years old is already considered long-lived. So, even though Old Man Wang is healthy and free from disasters, being eighty years old is indeed advanced in age, and his bodily functions are no longer keeping up.

  Originally, it was his granddaughter Wang Xueqing who accompanied him for a walk, but halfway through, Wang Xueqing received a phone call and lost her attention. Old Wang stood there without much interest, just looking at the chair on the opposite side of the road, thinking of going to rest.

  Although he was old, his body had always been fine, and he thought crossing the road would be no problem. Who knew that even if he didn't have a problem, he couldn't stop the car from being careless.

  But Wang Lao was indeed old, his physical reaction couldn't keep up, and he couldn't dodge even if he wanted to. By the time Wang Xueqing heard the horn and looked back, it was already too late. Fortunately, Yuan Yucheng made a flying tackle and saved Wang Lao. In order to protect Wang Lao, his entire back hit the ground, and he fainted.

  At first glance, the injury looked very serious and scared Cai Wen half to death. He quickly notified the hospital to send someone over and then rushed to find Yuanchuan.

  But when they arrived at the hospital, it turned out that they were all just external injuries, and Wang Lao was completely fine.

  The driver was so scared that he couldn't move, the car was detained by traffic police and the person was taken away for questioning.

  But all in all, it was a narrow escape.

  Wang Qingnian was deeply grateful to Yuan Yuchen and Yuan Xi, it was truly heartfelt. His daughter Wang Xueqing felt a lot of shame, this matter was still her fault after all, so she always felt guilty and a little afraid.

  Yuanchi knew what had happened and was completely relieved. He said to Wang Qingnian, "Uncle Wang, don't say anything else. Everyone is fine, that's the most important thing. I...". He was about to call him uncle, but suddenly stopped. He glanced at Yuan Yuchen and then said, "My dad did this, as his son, I feel proud."

  His one voice "dad" didn't make the Wang family feel anything, but it made Yuan Yuchen stunned. He looked at Yuan Xi, his tightly pursed mouth suddenly raised slightly, and the joy in his black eyes couldn't be concealed.

  Yuanchuan felt a bit embarrassed, but he had long had this idea. Yuan Yu and his wife had no children, and he himself was an orphan, although it had never been explicitly stated, but in his heart, he had long regarded them as very important relatives.

  Because of this, the two families unexpectedly got to know each other and found that they were all straightforward people. Especially Wang Qingnian liked Yuan Xi more and more as he looked at him. This kid was not only good-looking but also loved to smile, and his words and actions were all likable, making people unconsciously like to get close to him.

  Wang Xueqing couldn't help but steal glances at Yuan Xi from time to time.

  Finally, under Wang Qingnian's insistence, Yuan Yuchen had to undergo a full-body examination again. It wasn't until the doctor said with certainty and affirmation that there was no problem that he was able to complete the discharge procedures.

  Wang Qingnian had a car and insisted on sending Yuan Yuchen and the others back, Yuan Yuchen did not refuse either. It was Yuanchuan who explained the situation to Lin Su Yun in advance, and Lin Su Yun's side also felt at ease.

  Back at the Yuan's home, Wang Xueqing also arrived a step ahead of time, holding big and small bags in her hands. It seemed that she had bought a bunch of gifts following her father's instructions.

  Yu Cheng finally accepted it under Wang Qingnian's insistence.

  Everyone entered the house, and it was only then that Wang Qingnian realized that Yuanchuan actually had a son. Surprised, he couldn't help but give another red envelope to Little Yuanzhe. Yuanchuan hastily pushed it back, but couldn't withstand Wang Qingnian's pressure as an elder, so finally accepted it.

  Wang Xueqing still had a girl's heart, and when she suddenly heard that Yuanchuan had a son, she was very surprised. Before that, she would occasionally steal glances at Yuanchuan, and in fact, she had never seen such a handsome and sunny boy before, and her heart couldn't help but feel a little moved. Knowing that he actually had a son too made her feel somewhat disappointed.

  But at this moment, she saw Xiao Yuan Zhe and was instantly attracted to this lovely little doll. Oh my god, it's really too good-looking, such a clean and beautiful little guy, not many women can resist, the little loss in her heart just now also disappeared instantly.

  Moreover, although Little Yuan Zhe was only a two-month-old little bundle, he was very playful and cute. When others smiled at him, he would learn to smile back, and when others teased him to talk, he would open his mouth and make some unintelligible monosyllabic sounds that were adorable beyond words. At this moment, all of Wang Xueqing's attention was drawn to Little Yuan Zhe, and she had long forgotten about Yuan Xi.

  Everyone was praising Xiao Yuande, and Yuan Xi was extremely pleased. This pleased him even more than being praised himself, his eyes curved and his mouth opened wide with joy, he was over the moon.

  As he spoke, Wang Qingnian was about to take his leave, but Yuan Xi hastily stopped him: "Uncle Wang, it's getting late, why don't you stay for dinner? I think you and my dad hit it off, come sit down and have a drink."

  Wang Qingnian hastily said: "How can that be good, why don't I treat you and we go out to eat?"

  Yuanchuan said: "For our two families, where else do we need to go and spend money? Uncle Wang, if you trust me, just sit down and chat with my dad, I'll cook some home-style dishes for you to try?"

  Yuanyu said so, Wang Qingnian no longer pushed back, and laughed: "Good, good!"

  Yuan Xi rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen. Wang Qingnian sighed emotionally to Yuan Yucheng: "Younger brother, you really have a good son. Look at this energy, it's enviable."

  Yuanyu Cheng felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Although he wasn't the type to show his emotions, at this moment, he couldn't hide that excitement.

  Yuan Xi was also familiar with the food ingredients here, and this place didn't seem like those futuristic places he had seen before, where everything was about nutrient fluids and vegetables, fruits, and grains were extremely expensive and rare.

  On the contrary, although humans have made great progress in science and technology in interstellar exploration, they have never given up on researching food. In the era of Yuan Longping, the father of hybrid rice, there were already many agricultural scientists creating more cost-effective foods, and nowadays, there are countless agricultural scientists creating even higher value-for-money foods.

  Especially after having countless colonies, food is even more varied and numerous.

  Fortunately, the overall classification of food has not changed much, grains, vegetables, meat, seafood, fish... can still be categorized.

  Yuanxi even saw many familiar vegetables, and with his experience of helping out in a star-rated hotel kitchen, making a sumptuous dinner was a piece of cake.

  The kitchen and living room were only separated by one door, so Yuan Xi, although in the kitchen, could still hear the conversation between Wang Qingnian and Yuan Yucheng in the living room. It started with some small talk until a certain sentence from Wang Qingnian made Yuan Xi's ears perk up suddenly.

  Wang Qingnian said, "Younger brother, to be honest with you, this daughter of mine is the apple of my eye. She's also very promising and has been admitted to the Federal First Agricultural University. The admission notice has already been sent out, and she'll be reporting there next month."

  Yuan Yuchen said: "This is a good thing, Xue Qing is a good kid."

  "Hey, little brother, I'm worried. This isn't just a matter of crossing an island that we can drive to in minutes. This is interplanetary travel! My child has never left home before, and no matter what, I won't be able to rest assured... After discussing it with her mother for a long time, I thought about going with her. In recent years, older brother has also saved up some money, thinking of selling the farm..."

  The author has something to say: As I write this, I suddenly want to tell my sisters (and maybe also Han paper?) that although the draft is already gone, the outline and framework have been prepared for a long time, and the length will definitely not be small. I will definitely work hard to update more frequently. However, there are many things involved here, such as the setting of future society, farming settings, and some war settings that will appear later, all relying on Zha Longzhu's brain supplement and YY (of course, there are also some universal settings). But Zha Longzhu will work hard to make logical sense in this fictional future society. I also welcome everyone to find bugs, if you think something is unreasonable or contradictory in this background, please point it out, and I will definitely modify it seriously! Love you all, come give me a flying kiss (*￣3￣)╭
