When she saw Xiang Laogen, she rushed to him and said, "Village Chief, something happened!"
Xiang Laogen saw the other party's anxious look and quickly put down the pipe in his hand: "What happened? Tell me slowly, don't be anxious."
"Early this morning, Liumei and I went to the mountain to pick fruits. It had rained for several days in a row, and the rocks on the mountain were loose. Liumei accidentally stepped on a rock on the edge of the cliff, rolled down, and got hurt!"
"Oh! This is no small matter!" Xiang Laogen was also anxious, and hurried out, "We have to find someone to bring her back quickly."
"We've found someone. There happened to be other people picking fruit on the mountain, so everyone helped and carried Liu Mei to the clinic. But her condition was a bit serious, and the clinic couldn't handle it, so they said she had to be sent to the county hospital." The female teacher followed Xiang Laogen out, explaining quickly as she spoke.
"Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and find a car to take you to the county hospital!"
The little girl looked embarrassed: "I can't find it! That's why I came to you, the village chief, to ask you to think of a solution."
"It's not a difficult thing. I can borrow it from the next village."
While he was talking, Xiang Laogen saw a man passing by on a bicycle. He quickly ran over to stop him and asked him to go to the next village to borrow a cart.
Inside the courtyard, Xu Xiuxiu was also anxious to know what was happening with Liu Mei. She looked at Li Dazhuang with a cold expression, "I'll say it again, I don't know you at all, and I don't know what you're talking about. I have other things to do now, let's talk later!"
Li Dazhuang was not deaf, so he naturally heard the conversation between the female teacher and Xiang Laogen.
Knowing that this is a matter of life and death.
And it seems that Xu Xiuxiu has a good relationship with the injured person. After all, after the female teacher finished speaking, several people came to Xu Xiuxiu to inquire about the situation.
Li Dazhuang thought for a while and caught up with Xu Xiuxiu: "Since you have an urgent matter today, and it is a matter of life and death, I will not bother with you for now. I will come to settle the score with you again in two days. I tell you, if you don't give me a satisfactory answer to this matter, we are not done!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
After being frightened, Xu Xiuxiu bit her lower lip in anger: "Is this guy crazy? I don't even know him, why would he say that I cheated him out of his money?"
"Maybe he recognized the wrong person. Didn't he stop Xiang Baiwei by the river before and said that Xiang Baiwei cheated him?" A companion walking next to him muttered, "I remember Xiang Baiwei also said that he recognized the wrong person, but this person also denied it."
"I think he's just a lunatic." Xu Xiuxiu cursed in a low voice.
Then she remembered her watch that had disappeared.
Maybe someone in the yard stole her watch, traded it in the free market, and then caused this trouble.
If I'm not mistaken, that person is likely to report Xiang Baiwei's name in the free market.
I heard that people who go to the free market to trade basically don't report their names.
Even if there is, I will just make one up.
I don’t know who had a grudge against Xiang Baiwei and reported her name.
As Xu Xiuxiu was thinking, she thought of Liu Mei.
In her opinion, the person living in that compound who had the deepest hatred for Xiang Baiwei was Liu Mei.
"What's wrong, Xiuxiu? Why did you suddenly stop and stop moving?" The companion who was walking with her saw Xu Xiuxiu suddenly stop and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Is there sand in your shoes? I'll hold you and you can get the sand out." said the companion, holding her arm.
Now that I have said it, I have to follow through.
Xu Xiuxiu held her arm, took off her shoes, tapped them lightly on the ground, then put them back on and tried them with her feet: "No more, there is no more irritating feeling."
"That's good. Let's go quickly and see if we can help Liu Mei. Why do you think she ran up the mountain to pick fruit so early in the morning?"
"I don't know, maybe it was just a sudden idea." Xu Xiuxiu said casually, but her heart sank.
Could it be that Liu Mei was behind all this? After all, she hated Xiang Baiwei so much.
Just as she was daydreaming, they arrived at the clinic.
At this time, a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the clinic to watch the fun, and Xu Xiuxiu and her companions squeezed in from the crowd.
On the bed in the clinic, Liu Mei's face was as pale as paper, with sweat on her forehead. She closed her eyes, bit her lips with her white teeth, and grasped the quilt tightly with both hands. She looked like she was in great pain.
Seeing her like this, all Xu Xiuxiu's previous doubts were suppressed.
She came to the bedside and bent over to ask Liu Mei: "How do you feel now?"
The doctor next to her waved his hand to stop her: "She doesn't even have the strength to speak now. Don't ask her any questions. Just stand by and encourage her. Let her hold on a little longer."
Xu Xiuxiu nodded: "Liu Mei, hold on for a while longer. The village chief has sent someone to the next village to borrow a truck. They will take you to the county hospital soon. The doctor said your condition is not serious and you won't have any root cause of the disease. Just hold on for a while longer. The truck will be here soon."
Liu Mei closed her eyes and groaned in pain from time to time. It seemed that she had no extra energy to respond to the outside world.
…
Xiang Baiwei, who was washing clothes in the yard, heard what Jiang Sui said and immediately stood up in surprise: "What did you say?"
"It just happened today. Didn't you hear the commotion outside this morning, and the sound of a truck passing by?" Jiang Sui put the things in his hands aside and helped Xiang Baiwei fetch water. "It is said that Liu Mei fell quite badly, but she was lucky. Someone happened to be there at the time. She has been sent to the county hospital now, and she should be fine."
"Is it such a coincidence?" Xiang Baiwei muttered to herself.
Li Dazhuang just came to the village to stop Liu Mei yesterday, and today she fell and was sent to the county hospital for treatment?
It's hard not to wonder if Liu Mei is deliberately avoiding this matter.
"When it's too coincidental, it may not be a coincidence." Jiang Sui rolled up his sleeves. "Li Dazhuang just asked her about it, and she had this incident. I guess this matter is really related to Liu Mei."
Xiang Baiwei looked at Jiang Sui with mixed feelings: "But you don't have any evidence, what should we do next?"
"If it's just a coincidence, it's fine," Jiang Sui shook his head gently and expressed his understanding, "Because the watch in Li Dazhuang's hand has Xu Xiuxiu's name engraved on the back. With Xu Xiuxiu's financial resources, she can't buy such a watch. This watch should have been given to her by Liu Mei before."
