"Oh, so that's it. Wait a minute. Old Dong just went out and should be back soon." The woman said as she welcomed Su Mianmian into the house and handed her a glass of water. "Drink some water first to warm yourself up."
Su Mianmian took the cup of water and drank it in small sips.
Her mind was not on drinking water, but on the two people she had just met. Those two people should be looking for the man they brought home.
After a while, the team leader came back. He was a little surprised to see Su Mianmian sitting in the room. "Little Su Zhiqing, what's the matter with you coming to see me so late?"
Su Mianmian stood up and gathered her thoughts. "Captain, today Shen Zhiqing and I found a man covered in blood in the back mountains. We were worried that his injuries were too severe and his life was in danger, so we carried him down the mountain."
Upon hearing this, the captain's brows furrowed, his gentle expression instantly becoming serious. He asked in a deep voice, "Where do you think that person is now?"
"At the Yun family." Su Mianmian replied.
The captain nodded, without saying anything more, and turned to walk out the door, saying, "Let's go and take a look."
Su Mianmian followed closely behind the captain. She thought of the two people she had just met in the back mountain and couldn't help but speak.
"Captain, I just met two people looking for someone in the back mountain. From their description, I feel like they are looking for the person we rescued."
Upon hearing this, the captain stopped and turned to look at Su Mianmian with a solemn expression on his face.
He thought for a moment, then asked, "What did you say?"
Su Mianmian answered truthfully: "Qin Zhiqing and I kept it a secret. Qin Zhiqing has gone to see Grandpa Dong, and he should be back soon."

Yun Family
"Well, that's good. Fortunately, you stopped the bleeding in time." Doctor Dong let go of his hand, took a deep breath, and there was a hint of relief in his tone.
He raised his head and looked at Yan Tongchun and Jiang Ya in front of him with admiration in his eyes.
"Otherwise, this person might really not survive." Doctor Dong's words made everyone present feel scared.
At this moment, the team leader and Su Mianmian hurried to the writer.
He felt a tightness in his heart when he saw the solemn expression on Doctor Dong's face.
"Uncle San, what's the situation?" Jianming asked anxiously.
Doctor Dong shook his head, sighed, and said, "The situation is not optimistic. He has two bullets in his body and must be taken to the hospital as soon as possible to have them removed. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't last much longer."
Hearing this, the captain's face became a little serious.
Their brigade was not close to the commune health center, and the road was rugged and difficult to travel on. Now that it was dark, the road was even more difficult to travel on.
But we can't just stand by and watch someone die. After all, it's a human life.
"Chen Zhiqing, go and borrow an ox cart from Uncle Li." Jianming gave the order decisively.
After hearing this, Shen Yuandao immediately nodded, turned around and ran out of the Yun family.
After Su Mianmian came back, she hurriedly ate dinner. She was so hungry. After she finished her meal.
Shen Yuandao and Uncle Li drove an ox cart to the gate of the Yun family.
Several people carefully helped the injured man onto the ox cart, and then the team leader and Shen Yuandao also followed.
They set off for the commune clinic.
As the ox cart rocked, the injured man kept his eyes closed and his face was as pale as paper.
His breathing was weak and rapid, as if it might stop at any moment.
Shen Yuandao and the captain both looked worried, fearing that something might happen to this man.
Fortunately, Uncle Li was familiar with the road and quickly sent the person to the commune hospital.
The three of them helped the man off the ox cart, and only after they worked together to send him into the operating room did they breathe a sigh of relief.
By eleven o'clock, the captain and Uncle Li were so sleepy that they fell asleep leaning on their chairs.
Finally, at around three o'clock in the morning, the door of the operating room slowly opened with a slight sound.
Shen Yuandao stepped forward, his eyes full of worry, "Doctor, how is he?"
The doctor took off his mask, revealing a tired but satisfied smile. He nodded and said, "The operation was successful, and the patient is out of danger. He'll be fine as long as he wakes up tomorrow."
Shen Yuandao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He woke up the captain and Uncle Li, and the three of them went to the ward to keep watch.
Until five o'clock in the morning, Shen Yuandao saw that the captain and Uncle Li's eyelids were getting heavier, and he couldn't help but say: "Uncle Captain, Uncle Li, you go and have a rest first, I'll just guard here."
The captain and Uncle Li looked at each other, and finally nodded, feeling relieved that they could survive the night and left the ward.
After Shen Yuandao watched the two of them leave, he lay down on the bed and took a nap.
In the morning, Shen Yuandao woke up early and left the ward quietly, for fear of waking up the patients in the ward.
He walked out of the hospital gate and went to a nearby breakfast shop and bought six steaming buns and corn porridge.
When he returned to the ward door with breakfast, he saw that the team leader and Uncle Li had woken up.
"Uncle Li, Captain, please have some breakfast." Shen Yuandao said with a smile.
When they saw the breakfast that Shen Yuandao bought, they both showed surprised expressions. When they saw that it was meat buns, they looked grateful.
The three of them sat around the bed, their breakfast still steaming. Shen Yuandao bit into a bun while talking softly with the team leader and Uncle Li.
Suddenly, Shen Yuandao noticed a movement. He turned his head and found that the person on the hospital bed who had originally closed his eyes was now slowly opening his eyes.
He had just woken up, with some confusion and doubt in his eyes. He swept his gaze around the ward and finally landed on the three of Shen Yuandao.
Shen Yuandao put down the bun in his hand and asked softly: "Do you still remember me? After you fainted, we sent you here, to the health center."
When the man heard Shen Yuandao's words, a trace of clarity flashed in his eyes. He moved his lips, and his voice seemed a little hoarse: "Thank you..."
Seeing this, Shen Yuandao quickly picked up a glass of water from the table next to him and handed it to the man: “Drink some water.”
The man took the cup and drank from it in big gulps.
After drinking the water, he reached into his pocket and took out something, handed it to Shen Yuandao, "My name is Zuo Xing, I'm 26 years old, and I'm a soldier in the Northwest Military Region. Thank you for saving me."
Shen Yuandao took what Zuo Xing handed over and found that it was a somewhat worn military identification card.
Only then did he realize that Zuo Xing was taking out this ID card before he fainted.
He secretly felt lucky that they did not abandon Zuo Xing in the back mountain, otherwise this soldier comrade would have lost his life.
