A call was transferred to Captain Chen Hai of a certain unit in a certain military region.

"Hello, Commander. I have a call from the Ping'an County Police Station in Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China. They're looking for Liu Mingfeng. Because Liu Mingfeng's situation is special and the political commissar is not in his office, they can only put the call through to you."

When Chen Hai received the call, he was silent for a moment, thinking of the soldier-like man lying on the bed in the military hospital. However, he did not remain silent for long. Instead, he asked what happened over there. After hearing that something happened at Liu Mingfeng's home, he asked them to call him directly, and he immediately asked the soldier standing guard at the door to call the political commissar over.

After Zhang Jianjun confirmed that the call had been connected to the military district and that it was Captain Chen of Liu Mingfeng's unit who answered the call, he immediately stood up straight and told the other party about the situation. Unexpectedly, the other party told him a shocking piece of news. It turned out that Liu Mingfeng was also injured, and he was shot in the head. Although he had undergone surgery, he was still lying in the hospital without waking up.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Jianguo felt a bitter pang in his heart. He had no idea what had happened to the couple, both of them lying unconscious in the hospital. However, he had to pull himself together and hoped that they would both wake up. As for Granny Cai and her family, especially Cai Dabao, both Chen Hai's and Zhang Jianjun's sides decided to give him the most severe punishment. If Wu Qiaoqiao was alright, that would be fine, but if something happened to her, he would be sent to his death. Even if Wu Qiaoqiao was alright and woke up, she would still be sent to a labor camp in the Northwest for more than ten years.

After making the call, Zhang Jianjun called Liu Yougen, who was waiting outside, in and told him about Liu Mingfeng. Upon hearing the news, Liu Yougen was shocked and his legs went weak, almost causing him to fall to the ground. However, Zhang Jianjun noticed something was wrong and came to his side to support him, helping him to sit down on a chair in front of the office.

Liu Yougen sat in the chair for a long time before he recovered. After he recovered, tears rolled down his face. Zhang Jianguo saw a grown man holding his hand and crying, telling how good the Wu Mingshan brothers were. Although they grew up eating at many people's houses, they were not idle. Today they delivered a bundle of firewood to one family and tomorrow they delivered a basket of pig grass to another family. During the three-year natural disaster, in order not to cause trouble to the villagers, the two brothers both joined the army. A few years later, they even used their allowances to ask their good brothers who served in the army with them to get a second-hand tractor from the next farm. Although the tractor looked tattered when it was pulled back, Mingshan tinkered with it and repaired it and it is now in good condition.

Who knew that now one brother is dead and the other injured, and such a thing has happened in the family. It's obvious that Mingshan's wife and her husband don't want the child anymore, and they don't know how they'll take care of the two children. Mingfeng's wife is still in the hospital, and they need to discuss how to take care of her there. Thinking of this, Liu Yougen stood up and prepared to go back to the village to have a meeting with everyone. Zhang Jianjun, knowing that Liu Yougen planned to go to the hospital before returning to the village, asked Lao Zhang to take Xia and another policeman with him. They planned to leave one of them at the hospital to keep an eye on Wu Qiaoqiao's condition, while Lao Zhang took Xia to Wu Qiaoqiao's house to see how much the Cai family had taken from her.

So Liu Yougen took three police officers and drove towards the hospital on a tractor. Originally, Lao Zhang and the others were planning to go there by bicycle, but Liu Yougen stopped them and said that although they would return to the village later, they still had to deliver things to the people in the hospital, and then they could bring the police officers back together. So Lao Zhang and the others did not ride bicycles but went to the hospital first by tractor.

After Liu Yougen arrived at the hospital, he told his wife and Zhou Cuihua about Liu Mingfeng's condition. The women cried for a while, and the eyes of several old men in the countryside were red. Later, when they asked who was accompanying Wu Qiaoqiao in the hospital, Ma Daya and Zhou Cuihua said that they were here to accompany her. Qian Meimei went back with her father-in-law to prepare some things for her mother-in-law. After leaving another police officer, Xiao Liu, to keep an eye on Wu Qiaoqiao's condition, Liu Yougen took his daughter-in-law, the men in the village, and two police officers back to Liujiatun.

When the tractor returned to Liujiatun, it was surrounded by villagers. Everyone asked about the team leader Wu Qiaoqiao's condition. When they learned that Wu Qiaoqiao was still lying unconscious in the hospital and the baby in her belly was doing well, everyone sighed.

Afterwards, Liu Yougen asked his youngest son to take the two policemen to Wu Qiaoqiao's house to check the situation. However, before leaving, he told Lao Zhang that there was a box in the kang cabinet. Lao Zhang nodded and followed the captain's youngest son Liu Xiaozhu to Wu Qiaoqiao's house.

Liu Yougen asked several uncles, aunts and relatives who were close to Liu Mingfeng and his brothers to send one person to his house for a meeting. Some old women who liked to watch the fun saw this and knew that there would be fun to watch again, so they waited at the captain's house early, chatting while waiting.

"Alas, I don't know what luck the two brothers Mingshan and Mingfeng have this year. Mingshan is gone, and Mingfeng's wife was beaten again. She is still in the hospital and I don't know what's going on."

The other people echoed what the old woman said. At this time, an old woman with triangular eyes, drooping eyebrows and a sharp and mean look spoke mysteriously to them.

"Hey, do you guys think this baby in Mingfeng's wife's belly is a jinx? How come it's already killed his uncle before it's even born? Mingfeng's wife is in the hospital now, and we don't know if she'll survive. If she doesn't, I'm afraid it'll be..."

Although the old woman didn't finish her words, everyone understood what she meant. It's just that no one said anything and no one noticed. But when someone said something, everyone thought it was a bit evil. But now we can't talk about those feudal superstitions, so no one said anything. Suddenly, they heard a shout from behind them.

"Mrs. Yang, what the hell are you talking about? Believe it or not, I'm going to rip your mouth off."
