Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Do You Need Help?

Everyone chatted for a while, and finally, the director got on the bus.

Soon, the bus started.

It was only after the bus left the dam that everyone saw quite a few villagers standing on both sides of the road to see them off.

"Dr. Li, come visit us when you have time."

"Doctor Zhao, my son said he’ll bring me to the hospital to see you when he’s on vacation!"

"Doctor Wang, take care."

The constant reminders and endless thank-yous deeply moved everyone who had had a tiring week.

Their exhausted bodies suddenly felt energized.

"Go back, and remember to follow the doctor’s advice."

"I’ve written down all the precautions for you, make sure to follow them!"

Although the bus wasn’t moving fast, it had gone quite a distance, and the villagers’ figures became smaller and smaller until they were completely out of sight.

However, once they left the village and went down the mountain, they got signal on their cell phones.

At that moment, everyone started making calls and going online.

It had been a week; they had to let their families know they were safe.

Lu Jing was no exception, and he first made a call to his mother:

"Hello, mom?"

"You child, why couldn’t I reach you all week? If Xiao Ye hadn’t told us you went to the countryside and that you were fine, your dad and I would have been worried sick!"

Lu Jing had left in a hurry and indeed hadn’t managed to inform his parents.

"Mom, I’m sorry."

"Now you say sorry? How old are you? Why can’t you handle things properly? Look at Xiao Ye, isn’t he sensible?"

It felt like every time he called, his mother couldn’t help but praise her future son-in-law.

Was she really that pleased?

Lu Jing couldn’t help but pout:

"Mom, I am your biological child, right?" He said, a bit sourly.

"You’re just a debt collector!"

Pff!

See, is that something a mother should say?

But if he wasn’t her own, she probably wouldn’t say that either.

"Yeah, yeah, my fault. I won’t do it again, okay?"

Sure enough, Lu’s mother’s tone softened over the phone:

"That’s good to know. Where are you now?"

"On the way back to the city, just got signal."

"Then rest well, call me when you arrive."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Doctor Wei also ended his call simultaneously:

"Alright, alright, mom, let’s not talk now, I’ll tell you when I get back, bye."

Both were not the type to dawdle, and besides, how clear could things be over the phone?

Better to have a good chat face to face when they got back.

For now, it was enough to let them know they were safe.

The bus ride would take several hours, and it wasn’t possible for everyone to stay energetic the entire time, so after a while, they all began to close their eyes and rest.

About two hours later, the bus noticeably slowed down.

Someone opened their eyes and looked around:

"Looks like there was an accident ahead, right?"

Otherwise, the freeway wouldn’t be this congested.

"Seems like it."

"Should we see if they need help?"

"I don’t know, I can’t see the scene yet; it must still be further ahead."

There was nothing they could do but wait as the bus slowly crawled forward.

Finally, ten minutes later, they could see the accident scene.

There really had been an accident, and several fire trucks were parked there.

As the bus passed by the scene, someone loudly asked:

"Comrade, do you need help? We are all doctors here!"
