On this day, Lao Ma Liu, who lived under the crooked tree in the west of the village, successively treated two "seriously injured" patients who were carried in. He was so busy that his old rheumatoid arthritis came back.
After collecting the basket of herbs in the yard, he went back to the house and dozed off as soon as it got dark.
In Huagou Village, two cattle were mysteriously injured within one day.
When all the men returned home from work, they would squeeze their crotch together, keep their eyes and ears open, and walk carefully, for fear of being attacked by wild animals or having their balls pulled out.
Later, rumors of wild beasts that feed on cattle and cattle appeared in Huagou Village spread among several villages for a long time. Even the common tactic used to scare disobedient children evolved into "If you don't behave, the monster will eat you!"
As night fell, the atmosphere in the educated youth camp was very solemn.
"How's it going? Are you awake?"
The educated youth were all waiting in the yard.
Yang Chuanlin lowered the door curtain and walked out, shaking his head with a heavy face.
The male educated youth had a sorrowful expression on his face, clenching his fists and sighing, "I encountered something like this on my first day on patrol! The wolves are so ferocious!"
Several female educated youth also stood together with worried expressions. "What did the barefoot doctor say? There are no external injuries, so why is he still not conscious? Could he have internal injuries?"
Yang Chuanlin looked embarrassed. "... Wait a little longer. Si Zhiqing is staying with us inside."
Fang Kai squatted to the side and said with a sullen face, "Si Zhiqing is a female comrade, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Seeing the unfriendly expressions of the other female educated youth, Chen Xiaoyan hesitated and said, "How about I go in and join Si Zhiqing..."
Zhang Xiuting snorted, "Chen Xiaoyan, you're clinging so tightly to Si Yuzhen right now. Do you really think a city lady like her would look down on you?"
"It was Fang Zhiqing who said that Si Zhiqing alone was not suitable... I am the one."
"Would it be appropriate for you to go? You're quite good at planning, but you've already tried to please both sides. What kind of help can you offer? In fact, you've been wanting to go in for a long time!"
Chen Xiaoyan's face turned pale and she didn't know how to defend herself.
"Are you guys crazy? You can't speak without being sarcastic or cryptic."
Sun Zuo filled the water tank in the yard, put down the wooden barrel with a "dong" sound, and scolded everyone equally with one sentence.
Zhang Xiuting was furious: "Sun Zuo, why do you always dislike everyone?"
"Will he wake up if I keep acting weird like this?"
Sun Zuo's words caused others to frown.
A female educated youth stood up and said, "Sun Zhiqing, Song Zhiqing is always the first to rush to the front when encountering danger. It is natural for everyone to care about him. How can you be so cold-blooded? After all, we have been together for more than half a year."
"That's right. Last time you changed beds, Song Zhiqing helped you clean it."
"I'm cold-blooded. Don't use the water I pumped."
After Sun Zuo finished speaking, he scooped out the freshly boiled water from the pot, held it, lifted the curtain and walked into the house.
"This Sun Zuo is really a powder keg. He can explode even without provoking anyone."
Yang Chuanlin quickly said, "Okay, okay, that's just his nature. He doesn't have any bad intentions. Just get used to it."
"He brought in hot water. Could he be doing something bad to Song Zhiqing? I always feel like he and Song Zhiqing don't get along."
"No, Si Zhiqing is guarding inside."
"Isn't that even more dangerous? How about we all go in and guard it..."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Kai was the first to stand up and walked in quickly.
Sun Zuo poured half of the hot water in his jar into Song Wenqing's cup. Turning around, he saw people following him in, looking at him warily. He glanced at them speechlessly.
He pretended not to see it and walked straight to his bed at the back, where he sat down and read.
In the end, a group of more than a dozen educated youth were awkwardly squeezed into a small room of less than ten square meters, surrounding the pale-faced Song Wenqing, with no room to even sit down.
Si Yuzhen picked up the cup, carefully fed Song Wenqing some water, and wiped the cold sweat from his face with a handkerchief, her movements very gently.
Fang Kai turned away with a stern face.
"Eh? Where are all the people? Where did they go?"
A strong male voice came from the yard.
It was the team leader Wang Jianping and the security director Ding Guangsheng who came to express their condolences.
"...Song Zhiqing has made tremendous contributions to ensuring the safety of the village! The team has decided to subsidize 10 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains. Send a representative to the warehouse to collect them from Chen Dahu tomorrow."
"As for... that problem, well, Old Ma Liu said he needs to be observed for a while, so you guys just take care of him. If he needs any medical treatment or has any difficulties, the team will find a way to help."
The two men stood at the narrow doorway and saw that it was so crowded inside that there was no room to stand. There were so many young female comrades. Wang Jianping, a rough man who usually had a loud voice, felt awkward and couldn't speak clearly.
Ding Guangsheng, who was always eloquent and spoke in official language, only added, "Starting tomorrow, the patrol team will adjust its personnel and replace them with strong men from the village to ensure safety." Then he took Wang Jianping and left in a hurry.
When the educated youth heard that there was a food subsidy, they couldn't help but feel a little happy. On weekdays, everyone was short of food, and with these 20 kilograms of food, at least everyone could eat a little more fully recently.
As for the fact that this was earned by Song Wenqing while patrolling against wolves and causing serious injuries, Song Zhiqing was usually very generous and would definitely not keep it all to himself but would share it with everyone!
Only Chen Xiaoyan asked worriedly, "Captain Wang, what difficulties will Song Zhiqing face?"
Zhang Xiuting curled her lips and rolled her eyes: "I'm twenty, not ten, why are you pretending?"
The other female educated youth looked a little confused when they heard this.
The male educated youth felt a chill in his crotch and moved his legs sideways awkwardly.
What happened in the afternoon spread throughout the village, and everyone was discussing it privately. However, since men and women lived together in the same yard at the educated youth center, and the protagonist of the topic was lying in the house, they were reluctant to talk about it.
