Chapter 339 Give Him Some Time
Xu Nuo was busy until the evening and finished all the things he could do.
She stretched her stiff shoulders, took off her white coat and prepared to go back to eat.
"Xu Nuo." Zhou Ling came over, holding two lunch boxes in her hands, "I brought you dinner, eat it while it's hot."
"I can just go back and eat by myself, why did you make another trip?"
Zhou Ling cleared a space on the table and placed the lunch box on it: "Go back quickly after dinner. Jin Yue and I will be on duty here tonight."
"No, no." Xu Nuo washed his hands and sat down. "I have been sleeping in the village office for several days. It is my turn to be on duty tonight."
"You encountered such a thing today and have been busy for most of the day. You should have a good rest at night." Zhou Ling said.
Xu Nuo paused while picking up the food: "It's nothing. Those who are on duty don't sleep well. You two should go back and have a good night's rest."
"We are not tired. Be obedient and go back to sleep at night. Don't you still need to call Captain Lu? It's not convenient to contact the outside world from here..."
Xu Nuo thought about it and it made sense. Since Zhou Ling meant so well, she agreed: "Okay."
After Xu Nuo finished dinner, Jin Yue also came over.
Zhou Ling asked casually, "Why did you come just now?"
"Secretary Lu has been here. Today he came to ask me about Xu Nuo. He said he would investigate the matter to find out who did it. By the way, he asked us to be careful during this period!" Jin Yue told them about the situation.
"I feel that just investigating is not enough. It feels like something this big has happened, we need to call the police." Zhou Ling didn't quite believe what Secretary Lu said about the investigation.
Since she came here, she has never liked anyone here.
I didn't do any less work, but instead suffered a lot of injustice.
Now Xu Nuo encountered this kind of thing again and almost lost his life.
According to her idea, she might as well call the police and let them investigate the matter.
Jin Yue also nodded, indicating that she agreed with Zhou Ling's idea.
"Wait a little while." Although Xu Nuo also thought so, but Secretary Lu said that he had to investigate first, so he had to be given some time. "It's not a good thing for a village to have such a thing. Secretary Lu has considered more than us, so give him some time."
"Consider more?" Zhou Ling disagreed with this statement. "No matter what he considers, shouldn't this person's life be put first?"
"Zhou Ling is right. I have told Secretary Lu to give him only two days. If he cannot find out the truth within two days, then we should call the police," said Jin Yue.
Zhou Ling gave a thumbs up: "Jin Yue, you are so smart! You did the right thing!"
"Thank you both for thinking of me. Then give him two days, and we'll call the police when the two days are up!"
After all, this matter concerns her safety, and she cares about it more than anyone else.
But Secretary Lu said that he had to investigate first, so she couldn't refuse.
She believed that Secretary Lu would also take this matter to heart.
"By the way." Xu Nuo asked Jin Yue, "Besides these, did Secretary Lu say anything else?"
"No..." Jin Yue just opened her mouth to say no, but suddenly she remembered, "Yes, yes, yes. Secretary Lu said that you can't go around the village alone in the future. He will find someone to accompany you."
"That's better." Zhou Ling muttered.
"What about tonight?" Xu Nuo asked, "Does he have any plans tonight?"
"Yes. He told you not to rush back tonight. After he has finished his meal, he will come and take you back to the village office in person."
"You're such a jerk! How could you tell me such an important thing only now?" Zhou Ling complained to her.
"My brain has been so busy these past two months that I almost forgot..."
Hearing that Secretary Lu would personally send her back soon, Xu Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, she was still a little scared after what happened today.
If Secretary Lu could send someone to pick her up in the next two days, she would feel more at ease.
Xu Nuo waited for a while and Secretary Lu came over.
"Doctor Xu, have you finished your dinner? I'm here to take you to the village office. I heard about what happened during the day. The village leadership team held a meeting this afternoon and will definitely help you solve this problem."
"Secretary Lu, to be honest, I'm really scared when something like this happens. So, please investigate as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes. After all, this is a matter of life and death, so we dare not take it lightly. Doctor Xu, let me take you home! I'll let my daughter stay with you tonight."
"Thank you very much, Secretary Lu, for your concern."
After coming out of the primary school treatment center, Secretary Lu and Xu Nuo walked back side by side.
On the way, Lu Zhishu said, "Did you see the person who pushed you clearly?"
Xu Nuo shook his head: "I didn't see it clearly. I was in the water and it was drizzling, so I didn't see it clearly."
"I heard that someone from our village called you over. Do you know who that person was?"
Xu Nuo shook his head: "That man is obviously one of our locals, but I don't know who he is."
"Can you describe what it looks like?" asked Lu Zhishu.
Xu Nuo thought about it and realized that she was in a hurry to save people and didn’t pay much attention to the man’s appearance.
"That person is not very tall, probably around fifty years old? Triangular eyes, bulbous nose, and a rather conspicuous mole under the corner of his mouth."
After Xu Nuo described the man's appearance, Lu Zhishu quickly knew who the man was: "Don't worry, I know who this man is. I will go back tonight and ask him who told him to do this."
"Okay." Xu Nuo nodded.
As the two were talking, Lu Zhishu stopped and squinted his eyes at a car parked not far ahead.
It was a white, junked van. The car seemed to have a problem and kept trying to start the engine.
The passenger door opened and a young man got out. He walked to the back of the car and said loudly, "You start the car and I'll push it! Let's work together, there will be no problem."
The driver stuck his head out of the cab and said, "I'm afraid one person can't do it. We need to find two more people."
As he was talking, the driver saw Lu Zhishu and Xu Nuo standing on the road, so he waved at them: "Fellow villagers, can you help us push the cart? Our car has a problem and won't start."
Secretary Lu didn't even think about it and walked forward: "Okay, okay, no problem. Let me help you. Forget about this girl. She is a woman and doesn't have much strength."
"Okay, thank you for your help." said the driver.
"Why are you being polite? It's just a piece of cake to help." Secretary Lu rolled up his sleeves and walked to the back of the car.
