Through the air, Sun Zimu also saw the brother who had competed with him for tofu pudding in the morning. He was lying on the side of the truck and never got down. He was even worse off than him.
The tractor rumbled along for nearly three hours, during which Shen Anning and Fang Yuan even took a nap, before they finally arrived at their destination.
Shuang'an Village is the closest village to Yaocong Mountain, about six or seven kilometers away. Before the tractor stopped at the entrance of the village, a circle of people were already standing on the roadside.
Xu Wenzhou, holding a letter of introduction from the provincial government, was about to ask if the village chief was there when several burly men came out with hoes and stopped him. "Stand still! Where are you guys from? What are you doing in our village?"

"Hey, fellow villagers, we're from the county agricultural machinery station. These are medical experts from the capital and Chengdu, bringing their students with them. Go gather your things first, and quickly get someone to call the village head and the Party secretary over."
