Chapter 61: Perceiving Danger: The Coming Car Accident

Lan Mo had always considered herself incredibly lucky. Not only had she died in her previous life and managed to possess another’s body in this one, but the original owner also happened to be a medical student, just like her—though their specialties differed: one in obstetrics, the other in orthopedic surgery.

The original owner’s father had even left her quite a few things, allowing her, an otherworldly visitor, to unexpectedly obtain a Myriad Realms Farm Space.

Shouldn’t a Daughter of Fortune like her have exceptionally good luck?

Ever since her little nephew said he wanted to bury her in the yard, her luck had gradually started to decline.

When she tried to steal vegetables, not only did she lose Gold Coins to a dog bite, but while at work bandaging a young patient, he spat in her face and even bit her hand.

On her way home riding her bicycle, she was hit by a female comrade who had just learned to ride. Though she wasn’t seriously injured, her palm was scraped.

The worst was today’s trip to the countryside. When she left home, the sky was clear and sunny, and the weather was still fine when she boarded the bus. But just as the bus was nearing the township, a heavy downpour suddenly started.

The rain fell heavily and urgently, like a waterfall hanging from the sky, pouring down in torrents.

To be honest, Lan Mo was now very worried because her right eye had been twitching nonstop. They say the left eye twitches for wealth, the right for disaster—this meant trouble was coming!

The original owner had died on a rainy day, and in her previous life, when she was struck by a rock, the sky had been drizzling. Could it be that the heavens, seeing how happy she was now, wanted to mess with her again?

Lan Mo tugged at Lan Yuanzhi and whispered, “Elder Brother, can the driver see the road clearly in such heavy rain? Should we ask him to pull over and wait for the rain to ease up before continuing?”

Lan Yuanzhi patted Lan Mo’s hand and reassured her, “Little Sister, don’t worry. Most people who drive these kinds of vehicles are retired military drivers. The driver is already going very slowly and steadily.”

“But…”

Outside the window, the rain seemed to boil and churn against the glass. The world outside was dark and gloomy—how could she not worry?

Her heart was pounding wildly, beating faster and faster, as if it were about to leap out of her chest.

Lan Mo had a strong intuition that something was about to happen. She hadn’t felt this way before her death in her previous life, but since possessing this body and being reborn, her perception of danger had become incredibly sharp.

“Elder Brother, I have a very bad feeling right now, like something terrible is about to happen. If you’re uncomfortable saying it, I’ll go ask the driver to stop. Heavy rain like this won’t last too long.”

Seeing how frightened Lan Mo looked and observing the dark, oppressive sky outside, as if it were about to collapse, Lan Yuanzhi also considered the situation carefully. He decided it would be best to persuade the driver to pull over for a while and wait for the rain to ease up before continuing.

Lan Yuanzhi steadied himself against the seat and slowly walked over to the driver. “Driver, the rain is so heavy. How about we stop for a while before continuing?”

“Comrade, we’re only three or four kilometers from our destination. I’ll drive slowly and hold on a little longer.”

Seeing that her brother’s suggestion hadn’t worked and the driver refused to stop, Lan Mo stood up and walked over. “Uncle, for everyone’s safety, let’s wait a bit before continuing!”

She couldn’t very well tell the driver that her eye was twitching nonstop and her heart was racing.

“You two should go back to your seats and not distract me while I’m driving!”

Seeing how stubborn and unreasonable the driver was, Lan Mo grew genuinely angry. Why wouldn’t this driver listen to reason?

“Uncle, my brother and I will walk the rest of the way. Please pull over and let us off.”

Lan Yuanzhi was startled when his younger sister suggested walking there. How could they walk in such heavy rain? And with so much luggage…

“Younger Sister, it should be fine. Let’s hold on a little longer…”

Lan Mo’s heartbeat grew faster and faster, her body involuntarily tensing up more and more. She felt as if a dark aura enveloped the entire bus, pressing down on her until she could hardly breathe.

The oppressive feeling of death drew closer and closer. She couldn’t control the urge to scream loudly, but in the end, she rationally suppressed her emotions and comforted herself: Don’t panic, stay calm, everything will be fine, everything will be fine…

Suddenly, Lan Mo straightened her face and said loudly, “Uncle, you must stop the bus now. If you don’t, it’ll be too late.”

The driver replied impatiently, “What do you mean, too late? Stop causing trouble, you little girl!” He continued driving slowly, his eyes wide open as he stared ahead.

A passenger nearby jokingly tried to persuade her, “Little comrade, what are you afraid of? It’s just rain. The driver has seen worse.”

No matter what others thought, Lan Mo couldn’t hold back any longer. She shouted, “Stop the bus, stop it now! If you don’t stop, everyone will die…”

Whether they called her alarmist or superstitious, human life only comes once. She couldn’t gamble with everyone’s lives.

The rainstorm grew heavier and heavier. Raindrops pounded against the windshield, severely obstructing the driver’s view. Annoyed by Lan Mo’s persistence, he decided to pull over to the right and wait for the rain to ease up.

Seeing the driver stop the bus, Lan Mo quickly pulled her elder brother back to their seats.

They had just sat down for a few seconds…

A black car from the opposite direction sped over and crashed into a large tree on the left side of the road with a loud bang.

Lan Mo’s heart skipped a beat but soon calmed down.

“Brother, there’s been a car accident…”

Lan Yuanzhi suddenly felt his ears ringing, unable to hear what his younger sister was saying clearly.

The driver even forgot to breathe. If he hadn’t pulled over to the right just now, their bus would have collided head-on with that car.

That little comrade had told him to stop the bus—they had narrowly avoided disaster!

Lan Mo suddenly snapped back to reality. Their bus was fine, but the car that crashed into the tree must be in serious trouble.

“Brother, let’s get off and check!”

Lan Yuanzhi looked at the sky outside. The rain didn’t seem to have lightened at all. “Younger Sister, what do we do? We didn’t bring an umbrella.”

Lan Mo thought for a moment and said, “Elder Brother, I think there are two raincoats in my bag. Wait for me to take them out.”

Lan Yuanzhi asked doubtfully, “Momo, when did you bring raincoats?”

Lan Mo didn’t answer. Instead, she rummaged through her large luggage bag and quickly retrieved two military-green raincoats and a flashlight from her space.

Lan Mo handed one raincoat to Lan Yuanzhi. “Elder Brother, put it on quickly. Let’s hurry and get off the bus.”

“Uncle Driver, could you please open the door? We need to see what happened.”

The driver snapped back to reality. There had been a crash, and saving lives was the priority.

He quickly opened the door, grabbed a large black umbrella from beside his seat, and followed Lan Yuanzhi and his younger sister toward the black car.

“Little comrade, thank you for telling me to stop the bus! Can you… see something others can’t?”

Was the driver uncle suspecting she could see ghosts? She just had a sudden premonition that something bad would happen.

“Uncle, you’re joking. I don’t have X-ray vision to see anything. I just thought the rain was too heavy, affecting visibility and making accidents more likely.”

She definitely couldn’t casually mention her precognitive ability. Wasn’t precognition just a strong feeling? Without any evidence, if nothing happened, others would surely think she had schizophrenia.

“Hehe…” The driver uncle laughed awkwardly. He always felt this young girl seemed to know something in advance.

Surviving a great disaster brings great fortune—he owed his luck to this little comrade!

“Let’s go quickly, let’s go take a look…”
