When Chu Jianguo arrived at Yu Yin's house, the two female educated youths were still leaning against each other, while Lu Shurui paced anxiously to the side.
To be honest, because of Wang Mengyao, Lu Shurui is now quite afraid of women, except for his wife.
While waiting, Lu Shurui didn't ask about their origins; he simply watched from the sidelines.
"Director Chu, you've finally arrived! I didn't know what to do!"
Seeing Chu Jianguo approaching, Lu Shurui felt like she had grasped a lifeline.
"How are you? Are you still conscious?"
"Help, help us... help..."
The woman who had cried for help earlier fainted before she could finish her sentence.
"Quick, Xiao Lu, you carry one and I'll carry the other, let's get to the hospital first."
Seeing the two disheveled women, Chu Jianguo sensed something was wrong and knew that saving them was the priority.
"Director Chu, where is my Yu Yin? What will happen to the children when they wake up if I leave? They'll be so scared they'll start crying loudly!"
Lu Shurui is now reluctant to save people, and he also has two young children at home; no one is more important than his family.
"Oh dear, I forgot that Yu Yin is still in my courtyard. Here's what I'll do: I'll take the one who was unconscious earlier over there first, and Wen Ye and the others will be here soon."
After saying that, Chu Jianguo picked up the unconscious woman and ran to the county hospital.
"Brother, where's Uncle Chu? Why are you all alone?"
Lu Shuqi ran over first, and seeing that only his brother was there, asked in confusion.
"Director Chu took one of the women to the hospital first. Since your sister-in-law isn't here, I can't leave Ping An at home waiting for you. There's another one who's unconscious here." Lu Shurui pointed to the unconscious woman on the ground.
Lu Shuqi hadn't looked down at the ground and hadn't noticed that there was someone lying there.
"Okay, I'll take her to the hospital right away. Wenye and the other man will be here soon, tell them to hurry."
Lu Shuqi picked up the woman and rushed her to the hospital. She was so light; how long had she been starving?
Lu Shuqi muttered to himself, wondering what had happened.
There was a doctor on duty at the hospital. Two women were sent for emergency treatment. Chu Jianguo instructed Wang Wenye, who had rushed over, to go to their house and get two sets of clean clothes from his wife.
"Shuqi and Weiguo, you two keep watch here. I'm going to find the police chief. If they're saved, let me know."
The group split up, indicating that this matter was quite significant.
After Yu Yin calmed down for a while, Sister Yi Xian also returned. The two of them sighed, both understanding that this was not the first time such a thing had happened, nor would it be the last.
This era has had its glory days, its hardships, its downturns, and its unbearable past.
They are not saviors and cannot change the overall situation, especially Su Yixian, who is in dire straits herself. Without Chu Jianguo, she doesn't know what she would have encountered.
The two women shook their heads helplessly and went home.
As Yu Yin approached her home, she saw Lu Shurui lingering at the door.
"Why are you only coming back now? If you hadn't come back soon, I would have come looking for you." Lu Shurui was really anxious. There were two young children at home, and he didn't dare leave them, afraid they would be frightened if they woke up.
"I rested in the next room for a while, and my heart was beating a little fast."
"Are you feeling any better? Let's go to the hospital. I'll take the child to the neighbor's."
Upon hearing that his heart was not feeling well, Lu Shurui became anxious.
"It's nothing, I was just startled. Okay, let's go back inside and see if the child wakes up."
Fortunately, the child was sleeping soundly.
That night, no one slept well except for the child.
At the hospital, thanks to the doctors' efforts, both women were out of danger.
"Director, Director Zhang, a female comrade has woken up and wants to see you," Wang Wenye reported to the director as he came from the ward.
Chu Jianguo and Zhang Qiang stood up and called to their other colleagues from the Public Security Bureau, who had also been woken up, to go to the ward together.
The woman in the hospital gown was pale and had many scratches.
"Leader, save us! Save the others!"
He's too weak; he gets out of breath after just a few words.
"Don't panic. Now that we're here, we won't just stand by and do nothing. Tell us where you're from and who you're going to rescue."
Zhang Qiang was a former soldier who had worked for many years, so he probably knew what had happened.
"Yes, first tell us who we need to rescue and where we need to rescue them."
Chu Jianguo knew she wouldn't be able to finish telling the whole story, so he started with the key points.
“I am an educated youth from Yunlin Brigade of Yunhai Commune in our county. Our brigade leader’s son wants to force a female educated youth to marry him, and he has surrounded our educated youth settlement.”
After saying that, she ran out of energy again. After a while, she continued, "We male educated youth risked our lives to let us female educated youth out, but we were discovered, so the two of us escaped. We don't know what happened to them."
After a while, she said her last words, "Please, save them."
Then, she fainted.
The doctor came to check on me and said there was nothing serious, just extreme fatigue, and that I would feel better after a night's rest.
Having learned the gist of the matter, they left the ward to discuss how to handle it.
Lu Shuqi and a junior police officer were left to guard the hospital, while the others went to the county public security bureau.
"Director Zhang, you've been here for quite a while and you understand the local customs. What should we do about this?"
Chu Jianguo didn't know much about this area. After arriving, he grasped the situation at the county level, but not at the communes and production brigades below. Moreover, this area was inhabited by ethnic minorities, which made it difficult for him to take action in many situations.
Director Zhang Qiang stroked his chin, deep in thought.
"Yunlin Brigade, under Yunhai Commune, is located in a remote area and is inhabited by multiple ethnic groups. The brigade leader is named Hao Wanlin, who used to be a hunter."
