Chapter 419: Chapter 420: Amusement Park Accident
Finally, Xia Yangyang was found at the circus.
The current act was an elephant painting.
The animal tamer was repeatedly whipping the elephant.
The elephant had a brush clamped in its trunk and was drawing.
To be honest, this kind of animal performance is rather inhumane.
Yet, it still attracted a massive crowd.
Xia Yangyang’s attention was not at all focused on the performance.
She seemed to be aimlessly drifting with the crowd.
Then, all of a sudden.
The crowd erupted into chaos.
Many people started screaming.
Mu Liancheng took a closer look.
It turned out that the performing elephant had suddenly gone berserk, flinging away its brush, and knocking the tamer onto the ground.
Then it bolted towards the audience stands.
No one expected such an incident.
One by one, they all rose and scattered in all directions.
Originally lost in her thoughts, Xia Yangyang quickly came to her senses.
She was planning on leaving with the crowd.
However, the cries of a child in the distance caught her attention.
She glanced towards the sound.
She saw that the elephant had reached a child and had already picked up the child with its trunk, suspending him in mid-air.
The child’s parents were nowhere to be seen.
The whole place was filled with screams, thrown into utter chaos.
Without thinking, Xia Yangyang ran towards the direction of the screaming. The elephant was panicking, swinging the child left and right with its trunk. Fortunately, the child didn’t fall onto the ground or hit anything solid.
Xia Yangyang picked up a water bottle from the ground and threw it at the elephant.
The water bottle hit the elephant’s trunk.
As expected, the elephant roared, its trunk loosened.
The child fell from mid-air.
Xia Yangyang sprinted over and caught him.
But the elephant became more agitated.
With a powerful swing of its trunk, Xia Yangyang lost her balance.
She rolled on the ground twice.
Nevertheless, she clung onto the child, protecting him.
The elephant charged directly towards Xia Yangyang.
At that moment, Mu Liancheng stepped in, stick in hand, diverting the elephant’s attention.
The scene was in utter chaos.
However, the security quickly arrived.
They shot the elephant with a tranquilizer dart, and soon it stumbled and fell. Mu Liancheng immediately rushed to Xia Yangyang, helping her to her feet, “Are you okay?”
“It hurts…” Xia Yangyang furrowed her brows.
When Xia Yangyang had rolled on the ground, her arm was injured and she couldn’t move it now.
It seemed to be dislocated.
Right then, the child’s parents arrived.
They had seen the risky spectacle and kept thanking Xia Yangyang.
Then, along with Mu Liancheng, they brought Xia Yangyang to the hospital. Wen Xiaochu also arrived later.
She didn’t expect that their trip to cheer up Xia Yangyang would turn into such a disaster.
Fortunately, Xia Yangyang’s injuries were not too severe.
Her dislocated arm was put back in place, along with a few scrapes and bruises. However, when the elephant pushed Xia Yangyang, she hit her head against the nearby railing.
She felt a bit dizzy and nauseous.
The doctor speculated it might be a minor concussion.
She needed to be hospitalized for observation.
Mu Liancheng immediately handled the procedures for her hospitalization.
Actually, Xia Yangyang didn’t think it was that serious.
For the past few days, she hadn’t been feeling well anyway.
She had vomited several times after eating.
Those weren’t signs of a concussion.
But Mu Liancheng still insisted on her staying for observation.
