NovelEnglish158 Little uncle’s Secret (1)
She was still holding her phone in her hand. She picked it up in a daze and shouted at the phone, ” “Little uncle, little uncle, I’m not dead. It’s great that I’m not dead.”
“......”
“Little uncle, little uncle, are you listening? I’m fine, I’m fine, Yingluo.”
“......”
She cried tears of joy and wanted to tell her that she was safe, but no one answered her phone!
She called out a few times, thinking that the call had been hung up, but when she opened the phone, the call was still connected.
Tong Lu got up and limped toward the guardrails. She leaned against the guardrails and looked down in shock. There was nothing in the fast-flowing river. The car had already sunk to the bottom of the river.

She hung up the phone and called again. In the quiet night, her phone suddenly rang. Tong Lu’s hazy eyes immediately looked up. She pricked up her ears and listened quietly. She thought that she was hallucinating. Where did the sound of singing come from in the dark?
Still, no one picked up the phone. He hung up and the song stopped.
She tried to call again, and the song started again. He hung up again, and the song stopped abruptly.
......
Tong Lu called her phone for the fifth time. She slowly got up and searched for the source of the song. No, to be more precise, she searched for the source of the ringtone. In the middle of the inner Lane, a phone was vibrating quietly and playing the ringtone.
This is little uncle’s phone?
Tong Lu picked it up and looked around in a daze. There was no one in the dark. Not even a shadow could be seen.
“Little uncle? Little uncle, are you nearby?”
“Leng Yejin? Leng Yejin?”
Impossible, he couldn’t be nearby, but how could his phone be left in the middle of the road?
Her brain was getting more and more confused.
No one could give her an answer.
In the middle of the night, the sound of a police siren was getting closer and closer. A police car that was late stopped beside her. The police officer pushed the door open and got out of the car.”Miss, are you alright? Just now, someone called the police saying that there was a car accident here. Was it you who called the police?”
“My car’s brakes didn’t work, and I rushed into the river.”
Tong Lu was holding a mobile phone tightly in one hand. She looked a little disheveled because of the many bruises on her body.
Two police officers got out of the car to check and take photos for evidence. The guardrail had been broken, and one of them took her statement.
“Are you the only one in the car?”

“The brakes suddenly malfunctioned, and he broke through the guardrail and fell into the river? Did you escape by jumping off the car? Is this the process?”
“I’m sorry, I don’t know, I’m a little confused.”
The police officer saw that she was in a daze and was probably quite frightened. He patted her shoulder kindly. “You’re injured. We’ll take you to the hospital first.”
The police officer appeased her and got her into the car. Tong Lu looked out of the window. The car was about to drive away when Tong Lu suddenly shouted for the car to stop. She glanced over and saw a child in the garden. She was not sure if she was seeing things.
Tong Lu got out of the car and walked to the garden. She was surprised to see a child wrapped in an adult’s shirt. She gasped in surprise.’It’s Xiao Ye?’
“You know this child?” the police officer was confused.
Tong Lu nodded and picked the child up. Xiao Ye was injured too. His shirt was torn, probably from the scratches from the branches in the garden. He looked especially weak, as if he would be crushed if he was crushed. It made Tong Lu’s heart ache. The moment she picked him up, her heart melted into a puddle.
“Didn’t you just say that you were the only one in the car when the accident happened?”
She hugged Xiao Ye tightly, her face full of vigilance and doubt. I was really scared, and my mind was in a mess. Sorry, I need to calm down.
