Shen Yuandao returned the ID to Zuo Xing and said with a smile: “Comrade Zuo Xing, I’m glad you’re awake.”
Shen Yuandao pointed at the team leader and Uncle Li and introduced them: "Comrade Zuo, this is the team leader of our team, this is Uncle Li, and I am an educated youth who went to the countryside."
Zuo Xing nodded, "Thank you, comrades."
The captain and Uncle Li smiled and waved their hands, secretly happy that they had saved a soldier comrade.
Shen Yuandao handed him the porridge in his hand, “Comrade Zuo, have some.”
Zuo Xing didn't hesitate and started drinking corn porridge.
The captain looked outside and found that it was time to go to work.
He walked forward, patted Shen Yuandao on the shoulder, and instructed: "Shen Zhiqing, I will give you a day off today. You don't have to go to the fields to work with everyone. You stay here and take good care of that soldier comrade."
"Okay, Captain."
After hearing this, Shen Yuandao quickly nodded and agreed: "Okay, Captain, don't worry. I will take good care of him."
The captain nodded with satisfaction, patted Shen Yuandao on the shoulder, and then turned to Uncle Li next to him and said, "Uncle Li, let's go back and ask someone to send some clothes to Shen Zhiqing."
Uncle Li nodded, and the two of them left the ward together.
Shen sat down, looking at the ward full of people, wanting to ask Zuo Xing what happened but not daring to ask.

Yun Family
Su Mianmian took Yun Shu's arm and prepared to go to work in the fields.
As soon as the two of them went out, Su Mianmian saw the two people she met yesterday wandering around her house again.
One of them was the bald guy from yesterday, and the other was a little thinner. Both of them looked a little nervous and kept looking around.
Seeing Su Mianmian and Yun Shu coming over, the bald man hurried over and asked, "Did you two meet anyone yesterday?"
Su Mianmian shook her head, then showed a surprised expression: "Comrade, what a coincidence, seeing you again."
The bald man obviously didn't expect to run into Su Mianmian again. His face was a little stiff, and he continued to ask with a stern face: "Comrade, you really haven't seen anyone?"
Su Mianmian smiled and shook her head. "Oh! Didn't you ask yesterday? We really haven't seen anyone."
After hearing Su Mianmian's answer, the bald man seemed a little disappointed and turned around to leave.
However, just as he turned around, Su Mianmian suddenly called out to him, "Who are you looking for? If you need any help, we can tell the captain and we can look for him together."
The bald man stopped and looked back at Su Mianmian, but did not say anything. He just waved his hand, signaling them not to meddle in other people's business.
Then he turned and walked towards the back mountain, with the thin man following closely behind him.
Su Mianmian looked at the backs of the two people, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
She turned to look at Yun Shu and whispered, "Aunt Shu, Qin Zhiqing and I ran into that bald guy yesterday. They're probably looking for the person we rescued yesterday."
Yun Shu heard this and a worried look appeared on his face: "This...will we be okay? That bald guy doesn't look like a good person."
Su Mianmian shook her head and said comfortingly, "It should be fine. Besides, we are at the commune clinic now. There is no way these two shifty people will notice us."
As the two men stepped into the threshing ground, the team leader had already arrived there early. He stood in a conspicuous position, searching for something in the crowd.
When the captain saw Su Mianmian and Yun Shu coming side by side, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and then he strode over.
"Little Su Zhiqing, you're finally here." The captain panted slightly, obviously anxious. He said to Su Mianmian, "Have you seen Qin Zhiqing? I have something urgent to discuss with him."
Su Mianmian shook her head slightly, a hint of confusion on her face. "Qin Zhiqing? He hasn't come back yet?"
The captain nodded, his tone revealing a hint of worry. "Yes, he hasn't come back yet. Go find him right away."
The team leader paused and continued, "Shen Zhiqing is in the commune hospital and needs a change of clothes. Tell Qin Zhiqing to find some of Shen Zhiqing's clothes and send them to the commune hospital."
Su Mianmian thought of the man from last night and quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, Captain. I'll go find Qin Zhiqing right away."
Just as he was about to leave, he remembered the bald man he had just met and said to the captain, "Uncle Captain, those two people from yesterday are here again. They asked me and Aunt Shu if we had seen the people from yesterday."
The captain nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. You go find Qin Zhiqing, and I'll go take a look myself."
Just as Su Mianmian was about to turn around and leave, the captain reminded her again, "Remember to hurry up, don't delay."
Su Mianmian responded and hurriedly left the threshing ground.
When Su Mianmian was halfway there, she met Qin Huaichuan and explained her purpose. Qin Huaichuan nodded and ran back home to pack his clothes.
Soon, he came out with a package and stuffed it into Su Mianmian's arms, "Go and give it to Ayuan."
Su Mianmian didn't think much about it. She nodded while holding the package, ran back home, rode her bicycle and headed to the commune.

"Why are you here?" Shen Yuandao looked at Su Mianmian who entered the ward with a look of surprise.
Su Mianmian smiled slightly, "I'll bring you some clothes." Then she handed the clothes to Shen Yuandao. Su Mianmian pointed at Zuo Xing on the bed and asked, "How is he...?"
Shen Yuandao whispered, “It’s out of danger, just take good care of it.”
Su Mianmian: "By the way, someone came to the team to look for him again today."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuandao's expression immediately became solemn. He pointed at Zuo Xing lying on the bed and introduced him to Su Mianmian, "He is a soldier from the Northwest Military Region. The person who is looking for him may be the one who caused his injury."
At this time, Zuo Xing, who was lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes, glanced sharply at Su Mianmian, and then retracted his gaze after recognizing her.
He struggled to sit up, his body very weak, and his words were weak, "What does the person who is looking for me look like?"
Su Mianmian thought for a moment and explained, "The person who came to see you last night was a bald man with a black birthmark on his left cheek. The people who came today were the bald man and a few others."
Zuo Xing's expression turned even uglier after hearing this. He frowned, as if thinking about something. After a while, he asked, "When can I be discharged from the hospital?"
Shen Yuandao looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Zuo Xing, your body has not fully recovered yet. You need to be observed for a few more days. Besides, even if you are discharged from the hospital now, where are you going? What if you go to our brigade and those two people catch you?"
Zuo Xing still insisted, "I have something important to report to my superiors. I've been delayed for a long time because of my injury."
