If we were to ask which department is most familiar with the situation in the county, it would be the police department.
Even if there is something you don't know for the time being, you can find out by asking someone.
When Gao Mingcheng told Gao Guobing about the mad dog bite, Gao Guobing found the police officer in charge of that area and asked about the incident.
However, in just a few minutes, they found out that it was a dog owned by a clerk in the Health Bureau's office.
Gao Guobing recalled the interpersonal relationship of the clerk, and then said to Gao Mingcheng: "Let's go, I'll take you to find him, and by the way, see if the dog is a mad dog."
After leaving the police station and walking on the road, Gao Guobing told Gao Mingcheng: "The man's name is Sun Da. His brother-in-law used to be the political commissar of the farm, but now he has been transferred to another place. He looks inconspicuous, but he can write well, so he is very popular with the leaders in their bureau. Many speeches are written by him."
"But it's not a big deal. We're not causing trouble for him. We just want to confirm the dog's condition and ask him to pay for the medical expenses."
Gao Guobing's tone was very calm when he introduced the situation. It was obvious that Sun Da was just a minor character, and Gao Guobing was just accompanying him on this trip as if it were just a walk.
Incidents of vicious dogs injuring people have always angered and frightened people. It is even more infuriating when the dog that injures people is the leader's dog.
However, this feeling of anger only lasts for a short time, because most people do not have the courage to fight for their rights, and instead consider themselves unlucky.
Because many people have deified government officials, they are intimidated and dare not go to them.
But Gao Mingcheng knew that Yangyang was bitten very badly by the dog, and he also had a relationship with Gao Guobing, so he was still willing to lend a helping hand to the people at the bottom.
The two chatted as they walked.
The topic turned to wild boars again, and Gao Guobing said, "I haven't hunted for a long time. A while ago, I talked about this with a few colleagues, and everyone said that they would go hunting in the mountains in early winter."
Gao Mingcheng immediately said: "Okay, I will lead you when the time comes."
Gao Guobing smiled and said, "We are not going to the mountains near Gaojia Village, but to the forest farm. The roads there are easier to walk on, and there are more wild boars there. If you want to come, you can come with us, but you can't take a gun you shouldn't take. I'll lend you one when the time comes."
Gao Guobing didn't know how Gao Mingcheng got the submachine gun, but it was not a good thing to show off in public.
Gao Mingcheng laughed. He never relied on the submachine gun when hunting wild boars!
He decided to find some time to sharpen the tip of his javelin and practice his accuracy. When he used the javelin to hunt, its lethality was no less than that of ordinary firearms.
"No need to borrow a gun, I can just bring a javelin." Gao Mingcheng said confidently.
In fact, having a bow and arrow, or a crossbow would also work. He has good physical fitness and is proficient in martial arts. As long as he practices more and improves his aim, he will be able to use it.
However, one cannot bite off more than one bites off, so Gao Mingcheng just thought about it and did not take action immediately. However, if he has free time in the future, he can get a bow and arrow to practice.
The uncle and nephew came to the Health Bureau while talking.
As soon as he entered the door, he started to question someone, and then soon found Sun Da. Sun Da was about forty years old, white and plump, and looked very gentle.
Gao Guobing looked at Sun Da and said in a serious tone, "Sun Da, someone went to the police station to report that your dog ran to the cross street this morning and bit people. A total of five people were bitten, three were slightly injured, and two were seriously injured. One of them had a big gash in his thigh from the dog bite, and he had more than ten stitches at the hospital. There is a hospital receipt as proof."
"If a person is bitten by a mad dog and contracts rabies, there is a 100% mortality rate. Therefore, the country has always attached great importance to it. In the past few years, it has carried out dog-beating operations and has also widely promoted rabies vaccines in newspapers in order to reduce the number of people suffering from rabies."
"Since your dog bit someone, you must pay for the medical expenses, vaccinations, and nutrition. Otherwise, if those people get infected with rabies and die, you will be guilty of a great sin!"
In the end, a serious crime was pinned on Sun Da.
For Gao Guobing, since Sun Da has no background, he can handle the matter impartially. If Sun Da has a background, he still has to ask people for medical expenses, but his words will be more tactful.
Sun Da was not tall, but he might be a little bloated. When he heard these words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
While wiping his sweat, he said, "Director Gao, I really didn't know about the dog biting someone! The dog was usually very well behaved, but it started to become irritable in the past few days. Yesterday, the dog ran outside and we couldn't find it at all!"
Gao Guobing frowned and said sternly: "From what you said, it's more likely to be a mad dog! After all, it's your dog, so you have to be responsible. If it's a mad dog, why don't you call the dog-beating team to beat the dog to death? Don't think that it has nothing to do with you just because the dog ran away!"
"If those five people who were bitten really got infected with rabies and died, it would be hard to say whether you could keep your job!"
"The dog ran away yesterday and bit five people this morning. As for whether it has bitten other people so far, I don't know for the time being, but you have to solve this matter as soon as possible. First, you must compensate for the medical expenses, vaccinations and nutrition expenses. Second, find your dog as soon as possible. If you can't control it, you can only kill it."
Sun Da has no background. Although his brother-in-law is also a minor official, he has been transferred to another county and cannot take care of things here.
Although Gao Guobing is a deputy director, many people know that he will be the next director once the director above him is promoted or transferred.
There is also news that Gao Guobing is likely to be transferred to the city. Even if it is a lateral transfer, it will be a promotion.
So when Gao Guobing came to him in person, he seemed unable to withstand the pressure.
So he immediately agreed to pay the compensation.
The five people who were bitten had little money at home, so it’s a good thing that the dog owner is willing to pay compensation.
Next, Gao Mingcheng took Sun Da to find the victim to seek compensation, while Gao Guobing went to find the dog-beating team and asked them to find the dog raised by Sun Da. Once found, they would beat it to death and skin it.
Sun Da was frightened by Gao Guobing's words. He was also worried that the dog would suddenly become aggressive and bite people because it had rabies, so he didn't dare to keep it anymore.
The dog-beating movement has actually always existed, but sometimes the policy is strict and sometimes it is loose.
But generally speaking, there are not many people who keep dogs in the county, and there are not many people who keep dogs in rural areas either.
If Sun Da didn't have a certain status, he wouldn't dare to keep a dog.
But now the dog has caused him trouble, so he has no choice but to abandon it.
Gao Mingcheng took Sun Da to the back of the crossroads and found Maozi.
Since his younger brother became clingy after being injured, Maozi did not go out to do anything today, but stayed at home to accompany his younger brother.
He saw Gao Mingcheng coming with a stranger and immediately went forward to greet him.
But after some introduction, Maozi realized that the dog that bit his brother was the one raised by the fat white man in front of him.
He immediately became angry and started cursing at Sun Da. His curses were so loud that the surrounding residents also heard the noise. After learning about the situation, the family members of the bitten people started cursing at Sun Da one after another.
Sun Da's heart felt like it was soaked in bitter water, and it was so painful!
If his son hadn't insisted on having a dog, he really wouldn't want to have a dog!
Now that the dog has committed a crime, the owner has to take the responsibility!
Sun Da said quickly: "I sincerely apologize to you. I will pay for the medical expenses, vaccinations and nutrition expenses of the five people who were bitten! Of course, those with minor wounds will definitely get less compensation."
After he showed this attitude, he calmed everyone's anger.
The main thing is that they have already been bitten, and there is no point in scolding them now.
Gao Mingcheng asked Maozi to get the hospital bill and asked others to get receipts. However, three people felt that the wound was not serious and did not go to the hospital to save money.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have any proof, just show the wound.
Maozi was so angry that he untied the gauze on his brother Yangyang's leg and showed the wound to Sun Da.
The wound was so huge that even after stitches and medicine, it was still bloody and scary to look at.
Sun Da only took a glance and quickly looked away.
I was somewhat reluctant at first, but now I am completely speechless.
Among the five people, only Yangyang has been vaccinated, but everyone has the money, except for medical expenses and nutrition expenses, which are dealt with separately.
Yangyang's wound was the deepest, so naturally he took the most.
After paying the money, Sun Da felt exhausted.
If he hadn't borrowed money from his colleagues before leaving, the little money he had would really not be enough!
A dog bite incident cost him half a year's salary!
Half a year of work wasted!
If I get a dog again, I’ll take the dog’s surname!
Sun Da thought angrily.
After Sun Da left, Maozi gave the money for the vaccination to Gao Mingcheng. This money was paid by Gao Mingcheng before, and now that someone has compensated him, he naturally cannot keep it for himself.
Gao Mingcheng did not refuse and took it directly. He said to the other four people: "The dog that bit you is probably not right. Now the dog owner has paid for the vaccine. You should go to the hospital to get vaccinated as soon as possible. Don't take the risk!"
"Okay, I'll go right away." said the man who was also bitten badly.
I chose not to get the vaccine before because I didn’t have money. Now that I have money, I might as well get it. Even Yangyang, that idiot, got it. If he didn’t get the vaccine and instead got sick and died, how unwilling he would be!
So the man was supported by his family and went to the hospital to get vaccinated.
As for the other three who were slightly injured, they all responded verbally with puzzled expressions on their faces.
Gao Mingcheng simply reiterated the severity of rabies and then left it alone.
Because we must respect the fate of others.
And this is not 100% sure to be infected. What if the dog just has a bad temper due to menopause? Even if the dog is infected with rabies, it is not 100% sure to be infected after biting a person.
After the crowd dispersed, Maozi burst into tears of gratitude towards Gao Mingcheng.
He knew that it was all thanks to Gao Mingcheng's efforts that he was able to find the dog owner and get compensation from him!
"Brother Mingcheng, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future and will never refuse!" Maozi said sincerely. At this moment, in his heart, Gao Mingcheng is more important than his brother Dayou!
He Dayou: ...So, my little brother betrayed me?
Gao Mingcheng smiled and patted Maozi on the shoulder, saying, "Well, take good care of your brother and buy him some delicious food to nourish his body. Then, bring me some more high-quality goods!"
"Oh, I will!" Maozi nodded vigorously, his eyes looked especially bright because of the tears in them.
Gao Mingcheng didn't stay long. After finishing his work, he went back.
As soon as he returned to the clothing store, he saw his son learning to walk with the help of the wall. He couldn't help but watch him carefully. When he saw little Xuxu successfully walk ten steps, Gao Mingcheng couldn't help but reveal a proud smile at the corner of his mouth.
But the good times didn't last long. When Xiao Xuxu wanted to let go of his hands and practice, he only took three steps and fell on his butt!
But the little man didn't cry. He just seemed tired. He just sat on the ground, looking up and around.
There were no customers in the store at the moment, so everyone was watching Xiao Xuxu practice walking, and everyone had a kind smile on their face.
Perhaps it was the bond between father and son, as Xiao Xuxu's eyes were fixed precisely on Gao Mingcheng, and he then stretched out his arms towards him, pretending to give him a hug.
"dad……"
Although the pronunciation is still not very standard, people who are familiar with it can hear that it is calling dad.
"Hey." Gao Mingcheng responded, strode forward, and picked up little Xuxu from the ground.
"My son is awesome! Just like that, failure is the mother of success. In a short while, you will be able to walk steadily!" Gao Mingcheng praised proudly, and stretched out his hand again, lifted up Xiao Xuxu, and then put him on his shoulder.
"Hehe..." Little Xuxu giggled happily.
The sun outside was not so hot at this moment, so Gao Mingcheng decided to take Xiao Xuxu to People's Park for a walk.
Children need to have more contact with the outside world, see different scenery and different people, which is beneficial to their physical and mental health.
Seeing Gao Mingcheng letting Xiao Xuxu sit on his shoulders, Gao Shufang couldn't help but say enviously: "Second sister-in-law, you married well! I also hope that I can find someone as good as my second brother in the future!"
Even if she is only half as good as her second brother!
Gao Shufang added secretly in her heart.
She had lived in Gaojia Village for so many years, but she had never seen a father who doted on his children so much! In Gao Shufang's memory, her father Gao Yuanjian had never hugged her, let alone let her ride on his neck.
Xuanyue looked at the backs of the father and son, and listened to Gao Shufang's envious words, and felt very proud and happy.
How lucky she was that she could marry Gao Mingcheng!
Zhang Jinling, on the other hand, was looking forward to it. She wondered, when she gave birth to a child, would Gao Mingli treat the child in the same way?
…
Gao Mingcheng is considered tall in the South. With little Xuxu riding on his neck, his vision is suddenly raised. The novelty makes him make surprised sounds from time to time, with his little mouth open and saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth.
Gao Mingcheng always felt that his hair was being polluted by saliva, which it shouldn't have been!
"Hey, don't drip your saliva on my head!" Gao Mingcheng warned Xiao Xuxu first without caring whether he could understand it or not.
But looking at the constant saliva flowing from Xiao Xuxu's mouth, you know that this warning is ineffective!
Well, I have to take a shower every day anyway.
So Gao Mingcheng could only display the spirit of Ah Q and overcome his disgust for saliva.
He carried little Xuxu on his back, sometimes running fast, sometimes walking slowly, strolling on the street, then crossing the road and heading towards People's Park.
There are green mountains and clear waters, large areas of wild chrysanthemums, and all the plants are enjoying the last carnival of the year.
The sky is blue and the wind is gentle.
Gao Mingcheng put little Xuxu on the soft grass and started walking holding his little hand. However, little Xuxu could still walk steadily when holding the wall, but it was not so easy when holding hands, and he looked stumbling.
After failing several times, the good-tempered little Xuxu was not angry, but sat down on the grass and started playing with it.
He pulled hard with his little hands and broke off a piece of grass stem. Then he held it in front of his eyes and looked at it, giggling as if he had made himself laugh.
Gao Mingcheng also sat down and stayed by Xiao Xuxu's side, enjoying the warmth of taking care of the baby.
What he failed to do in his previous life, he has tried his best to make up for in this life.
He has a very calm mentality and enjoys the family atmosphere where his wife values him and his son is close to him.
Isn't it good to live like this for the rest of your life? There is no enmity between husband and wife, and no estrangement between father and son.
He will be the lover of his wife and the support of his children. He will provide them with a good life so that future generations can have a slight advantage at the starting line.
There was soft grass all around, and a large cloud just blocked the slightly dazzling sunlight, making people's vision particularly comfortable. Gao Mingcheng put his hands behind his head, lay back, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds.
The clouds move with the wind. Under the carving of the wind, the clouds keep changing, sometimes forming a group, sometimes spreading out, sometimes like a dog, and sometimes inexplicably. (End of this chapter)
