After they came out, Song Yan could clearly sense that Yan Minglu was not feeling well, so he found a place for him to sit down and examined him.
After examining him, Song Yan diagnosed Yan Minglu with a rib fracture. An X-ray is needed to confirm the extent of the injury.
Just then, someone walked past them. Song Yan also sensed that this person was paying attention to them.
Wei Aiguo followed. A short while later, Wei Aiguo returned. "This person must be from the commune. He said Director Yang has already sent a message to Yanjia Village, fearing that someone will come to arrest you soon."
He also said that if we wanted to file a complaint in the county, there was no way anyone would care.
He said the man surnamed Yang also received part of the compensation. He was so bold because the county magistrate was his brother-in-law.
At the same time, Wei Aiguo handed a slip of paper to Yin Cui. "Can you find the address on this?"
He drives for the commune. The man just said he'd arranged with the driver to take us to the county. We can't stay in the commune anymore.”
Song Yan: "Why is he helping us so much?"
Wei Aiguo: "I didn't ask him, but he told me. His brother is also a soldier, and he said that being a soldier is especially tough."
Yan Mingguo distributed the compensation money to Director Yang, who once let it slip after drinking too much. Yan Mingguo was furious about it, but he was powerless to help.
Right now, all he can do is deliver a message. He tells the driver he's reliable, and that he'll pay him to fill up the tank so no one notices it's low on gas; a trip to the county takes up a lot of fuel anyway.
It would be best for Yan Minglu to get a checkup to see the extent of his injury first. But in this small town, the hospital might not have an X-ray machine. Going to the county hospital would be the best option.
Yan Minglu only became unbearably painful during the shoving. When he's not moving, the pain is still tolerable. He doesn't have any other symptoms like difficulty breathing, so Song Yan estimates the fracture isn't too serious.
Song Yan didn't have any elastic bandages, so he tore off a piece of cloth and used it to simply immobilize him, minimizing his range of motion.
They gave me another pill. It can relieve the pain.
So Yin Cui and her mother asked for directions ahead, while they followed slowly behind.
Wei Aiguo and Song Yan. Try to speak as little as possible; they have different accents.
The driver's house wasn't hard to find. By the time Yin Cui found it, the driver had already made an excuse to drive home; he hadn't had time to eat yet. But he didn't say much and just drove off. He couldn't let these people linger near his house for too long.
They got in the car and headed towards the county town. Song Yan took out a lot of food from his bag.
Wei Aiguo: "Master, I can drive too. Just give me directions. You can rest for a while and have something to eat!"
The driver was surprised that Wei Aiguo could drive, and his accent was clearly not that of a local. He was quite taken aback, but still said, "You eat first, and I'll take over when you're done."
Wei Aiguo didn't say anything more and quickly ate his meal.
As Yin Cui ate the steamed bun, she couldn't help but shed tears. This steamed bun was so delicious.
Song Yan patted her on the shoulder: "Trust me, everything will be alright."
After Wei Aiguo finished eating, he went to drive. The driver sat in the passenger seat and ate while telling Wei Aiguo about the situation in the county.
The driver asked Wei Aiguo, "Are you planning to help them escape, or are you planning to help them file a complaint?"
After asking, Song Yan said, "I'm definitely going to sue, otherwise I'm afraid even the dead won't rest in peace!"
Driver: "I think you all know that it's definitely not going to work in the county town."
Wei Aiguo: "We've already heard some things. Now we need to treat the patient first; he's had a broken bone."
"Those beasts!" the driver said indignantly.
As they became more familiar with each other, they talked more. It turned out that his younger brother had taken his girlfriend to the county to buy things in preparation for their wedding. However, a local thug saw them and started harassing his brother's girlfriend. A fight broke out, and his brother was injured.
He was arrested for fighting in the street and detained at the police station. However, the thug was later released, but his brother remained detained.
Finally, it was said that his younger brother was involved in a street fight.
It was only after his family accepted the fine that the matter was settled.
His brother was incredibly frustrated. It turned out the thug who assaulted him was Director Yang's brother.
It was the county magistrate who made the call, and that's how the thug was released.
Because there were injured people in the car, the car was moving very slowly and smoothly, and drove directly to the hospital.
An X-ray was taken overnight, and it was indeed a rib fracture. Fortunately, it wasn't serious.
Yin Cui then had time to count the money. She handed a stack of money to Song Yan, "This is the extra money, four hundred and sixty yuan, it's not from my family."
Song Yan originally intended to use Yan Mingguo's money to compensate Er Ya.
But seeing that the other party showed no sign of greed, Song Yan was especially concerned that the money might have been embezzled by Yan Mingguo.
Song Yan: "Yan Mingguo is just a small village head, a farmer. How could he have saved up so much money?"
I suspect he embezzled the money!
Keep this for now! I'll sue them if I get the chance; this will be the evidence!
Er Ya: "Can I still sue him? I really want to sue him until he goes to jail."
...
As dawn broke, Wei Aiguo took his camera and found a photo studio to have the photos developed.
Wei Aiguo paid the photo developing company to make money off him without going through the official invoice process. The condition was that he had to supervise the developing process and that it be done quickly.
There were only two people working in the photo studio: one who issued tickets and the other who took photos. The photographer also developed the photos.
