Chapter 64 Rescue.
Back at the campsite, Xiao Kai put the bass he bought into the small refrigerator in the back of the car to store it first, and then climbed onto the roof tent to rest.
He rested like this until dark before leisurely getting out of the car and starting to cook.
After finishing his meal, he climbed back into his tent and played on his phone until 10 p.m. before finally going to sleep.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, Xiao Kai got up.
After a quick wash, Xiao Kai packed up his car and hurriedly drove away from the campsite.
He first bought two steamed buns for breakfast, and then drove to the nearest fishing tackle shop to buy a pound of bloodworms, following the navigation instructions.
He then left the city and drove towards his destination.
After a long drive, we finally arrived at our destination, Sanchahe, at nine o'clock in the morning.
Sancha River, belonging to the upper reaches of the Wujiang River in the Yangtze River Basin, flows through various areas of Liupanshui, with a total length of nearly 130 kilometers. It is the mother river in the hearts of the local people.
Xiao Kai's destination was precisely this place, or more precisely, a deep mountain tributary in the upper reaches of this river.
According to information he received from a fisherman yesterday, the tributary contains the fish species he wants to catch.
Following the location provided by the fisherman, Xiao Kai made his way here and was about to reach the fork in the road leading to the tributary that the fisherman had mentioned.
Just then, the weather suddenly changed, and a torrential downpour began.
As the rain intensified and visibility decreased, Xiao Kai had no choice but to stop in an open space by the roadside for safety reasons.
This road already had little traffic, and Xiao Kai thought he would be the only one passing through at this time.
Unexpectedly, just a few minutes after he parked his car, a white city SUV sped past him, its speed seemingly disregarding the rain.
Watching the SUV drive away, Xiao Kai felt indifferent.
As the rain intensified, Xiao Kai gradually forgot about the SUV amidst the relentless patter of the downpour.
Before we knew it, almost an hour had passed.
Finally, the rain stopped.
Xiao Kai set off again.
After traveling for a few more minutes, it was already 10 a.m. when Xiao Kai finally arrived at the fork in the road indicated by the fishing guy's location.
After confirming several times that he hadn't gone the wrong way, Xiao Kai plunged headfirst into the muddy dirt road.
After traversing mountains and valleys for several kilometers, Xiao Kai finally arrived near the destination indicated by the navigation.
"The finish line is one kilometer ahead, please..."
Hearing the annoying navigation notification from his phone, Xiao Kai's anticipation grew even stronger.
According to the angler's description, this tributary is home to several rare freshwater fish species that are hard to find on the market and are very expensive. These are the kinds of fish he likes to catch the most.
Despite the unpredictable journey, as long as you can catch the fish you want, then the trip is absolutely worthwhile.
With growing anticipation, Xiao Kai continued his journey following the navigation.
Just as he was driving around a bend near a cliff, a white car appeared on the road ahead and blocked his way.
Looking at the familiar car model, Xiao Kai couldn't help but recall the white SUV he had encountered during the rain.
Upon closer inspection, it really is true.
"Damn, what bad luck! It's raining and there are traffic jams!"
Despite feeling somewhat annoyed, Xiao Kai still prepared to get out of the car to check, since the car was completely blocking the road and he couldn't get past it.
Just as Xiao Kai put on his rain boots and was about to get out of the car to check, three figures standing next to the SUV in front of him saw Xiao Kai's vehicle approaching and hurriedly walked towards him, saying something as they went.
The three individuals consisted of one man and two women, and they all appeared to be quite young, around their twenties.
"Knock knock knock!"
The three arrived at Xiao Kai's car door, and the pretty girl in the purple down jacket who was leading the group gently knocked on the window.
As Xiao Kai rolled down the car window, before he could even speak, the girl spoke first.
"Handsome, our car is stuck. We'd like to borrow your skid plates. Would that be convenient?"
Her voice was clear and melodious, as pleasant as a nightingale in early spring, which naturally made people feel good about her.
Xiao Kai did the same; since he had already planned to help, he nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment!"
As he spoke, he got out of the car.
Once outside the vehicle, Xiao Kai went straight to the left side of the car and removed the side-mounted traction board.
"Take it and use it!"
After saying that, Xiao Kai handed the escape board to the other party.
The boy took it first, and the three of them thanked him repeatedly before running towards the SUV with the get-out board.
Seeing this, Xiao Kai followed.
When they arrived at the SUV, Xiao Kai saw that they had started helping, so he didn't disturb them but stood aside and watched.
However, it wasn't long before he frowned.
He discovered that the situation with the vehicle was far more serious than he had imagined.
Generally, when a car gets stuck, it's usually because the drive wheels get stuck in the mud and slip, and this car is no exception.
Unlike typical trapped situations, this vehicle not only had its front wheels near the engine stuck, but one of its rear tires was also stuck in the mud.
The most troublesome thing is that most of the front tires that were stuck near the curb had fallen off the curb, and if you're not careful, they could easily tip over into the mud pit next to the road.
In this situation, even with excellent driving skills, it would be difficult to successfully rescue the car using only two traction boards without external intervention, let alone the fact that this young man clearly wasn't a skilled driver.
Sure enough, after the boy tried placing the skid plate under the tire, the tire stopped quickly.
He discovered that if he forced the engine to move, the car would tilt to the outside of the curb, which frightened the boy so much that he immediately stopped and dared not move again.
Seeing that the vehicle was stuck, all three of them panicked!
"What should we do?"
The pretty girl was clearly more anxious, as if it was something important!
"How about I give it a try?"
At that moment, Xiao Kai's voice came.
The three people looked at him upon hearing the sound.
Xiao Kai coughed lightly and said, "Well, I have an electric winch in my car, it should be able to tow your car out!"
"Really?"
The three of them exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Kai nodded and said, "We can give it a try, but I can't guarantee success. If anything unexpected happens, um..."
Xiao Kai didn't say what came next, but the three of them were all smart and immediately understood.
The girl was clearly the one in charge among the three, and immediately indicated that Xiao Kai would not be responsible for anything.
With the assurance in hand, Xiao Kai didn't delay and immediately turned back to the car to retrieve the winch remote control.
Then Xiao Kai opened the front cover of the vehicle and pulled out the winch hook.
A few minutes later, Xiao Kai successfully secured the winch to the other vehicle.
He started the vehicle, engaged the electronic parking brake, and had the driver reverse the SUV's tires to prevent them from locking up while being dragged backward. Then he pressed the winch drive button.
With the sound of a motor running, the winch tightened the steel cable, and a huge force traveled along the cable to the fixed point at the rear of the SUV.
Under the expectant gaze of the crowd, the SUV, which had been stuck for a long time, was easily pulled out of its trapped position by the immense force of the electric winch.
"Great, it actually made it up! Thank you, handsome!"
Seeing that the vehicle had successfully escaped, the three were overjoyed and repeatedly thanked Xiao Kai.
Xiao Kai waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, and then began to put away the escape board and electric winch.
Xiao Kai finished quickly, and then he asked the group,
"Gentlemen, now that you're out of trouble, do you intend to retreat or continue forward?"
Upon hearing Xiao Kai's words, two of the three looked at the beautiful girl.
The girl smiled and said, "We were originally planning to go back, but it seems we can't get past the car, so we'll just keep going! However, if we encounter this situation again ahead, we'll have to trouble you for help!"
"That's fine too."
Xiao Kai nodded in agreement.
The road was narrow, making it unrealistic to allow cars to pass each other. Xiao Kai didn't want to waste too much time, so he agreed.
Soon, the two vehicles moved forward again.
Having learned from their previous experience, they proceeded with great caution this time, especially the SUV in front, fearing that they might accidentally get stuck again.
