When the aunts who were cursing at the old man saw his miserable appearance, they all shut their mouths silently.
The young nurse couldn't help but mutter, "What on earth made the cow go crazy? Could it be that someone threw some medicine away?"
This sentence caused the aunts to discuss: "It's really possible.
How else could both cows go crazy?"
"Yes, yes, we had been travelling smoothly all the way, and this happened just as we were approaching the cannery.
Is it possible that nearby...?"
Lu Zhiye narrowed his eyes and said in a cold voice: "This incident seems to be done intentionally, report it to the police.
Li Gongan happened to be upstairs, so I reported both things to him."
Lu Yuanshan nodded: "I think we should also report it to the police."
An auntie touched her freshly bandaged wound and said quickly, "I must report to the police. I can't let this injury go in vain.
Where are the police? I want to go find them and explain the situation."
"I'm going too!"
"I'm going too!"
The young nurse helplessly held down an auntie whose head was covered in blood: "Auntie, don't go. Your head hasn't been bandaged yet."
The aunt said dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up, hurry up."
The mole lady rolled her eyes and said, "I'll go up and call the police over."
When Li Zhi came over, he was also shocked when he saw the situation below.
The man with the injured arm came up to the mole lady and whispered, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."
The mole-faced lady glanced at him and said softly, "It's the same as the one above, both fell into the ditch.
I now suspect that there is something fishy going on there, otherwise why would bullock carts overturn in there one after another?"
The man with the injured arm glared, and rubbed his chin with his uninjured hand: "When we get back to investigate the case, I'll go and take a look."
Lady with mole: You are so capable.
Li Zhi listened to the aunts talking at once and raised his hand quickly: "Be quiet for a moment, uncle driving the carriage, please speak."
The old man hurriedly stood up from the bench, and with such large movements that he grabbed the wound on his body, a look of pain appeared on his face.
Li Zhi hurriedly said to him: "Just sit down and talk."
The old man thought about it carefully, and then he said with a stammer: "The old cow in our village is very docile. It was walking along the road just fine, but suddenly it became abnormal.
I tried to pull it back but it wouldn't stop. It was as if something on the side of the road was attracting it."
Li Zhi took the notebook and recorded it carefully. He turned his head and looked at the nurse: "Has the old man driving the ox cart woken up?"
The nurse nodded as she worked, "He's awake and in the observation room over there."
Li Zhi said he understood and quickly walked towards the observation room.
The other old man's answer also confirmed his guess.
When he came out again, he looked solemn, looked at Lu Zhiye and said, “Comrade, I heard that you are all from the cannery.
I'll go to the police station to call two people, and you can take us with you when you go back later.
We need to go to the place where the car overturned and take a closer look."
Lu Zhiye nodded and agreed.
The young nurse on the other side raised her hand and waved in front of the aunts: "Are you dizzy? Do you feel nauseous?"
Among the dozen or so aunts, only one or two were dizzy, so the nurse asked them to stay for observation.
Lu Yong patted his chest and said, "You all stay here and observe for a while. If there is nothing else, I will drive a tractor to pick you up."
The aunts smiled a little: "That's a good feeling."
The old man driving the ox cart stepped forward hesitantly and said, "Comrade Xiao Lu, our ox cart is still in the ditch.
We were delivered here by another tractor. Can you help me look after the old cow when you go back?"
Lu Zhiye said softly: "Don't worry, the tractor that brought you here should have gone back.
The cattle should have been taken to the cannery by now. I'll keep an eye on you when I get back.
Just stay in the hospital and tell the nurse if you feel uncomfortable. "
The old man nodded repeatedly, held Lu Zhiye's hand and kept thanking him.
Looking at the old man's dry lips, Lu Zhiye said slowly: "I'll get you some water. Drink it and have a good rest.
This is considered a work-related injury, so don't worry about the cost. The cannery should pay for it."
When the aunts heard this, they were completely relieved.
The old man's tense body slowly relaxed.
When Lu Yong led everyone to the place where the car overturned, Director Gong of the cannery was standing there.
The old cow had just been pulled up, with one of its legs broken, and was lying pitifully not far away.
His head kept nodding towards the side of the road.
When Director Gong saw the police coming, he walked towards them slowly.
Li Zhi saluted Director Gong, and Lu Zhiye's eyes flickered slightly.
No wonder he could become the director of a cannery out of nowhere, his previous identity was very unusual.
"You guys also noticed something was wrong?"
Listening to Director Gong's questions, Li Zhi nodded repeatedly.
"What the two drivers said is similar. If the accident happened in the same place, it is basically certain that there is something bad in this place that caused the cows to go crazy."
Director Gong nodded slightly and said, "I just looked around and the two places where the car overturned were only five meters apart.
Look at that cow, it's still trying to get to the shore."
Li Zhi took a closer look, exchanged glances with Director Gong, and said to the people behind him, "Go and see if there is anything nearby?"
Director Gong waved at Lu Zhiye and the others and said, "You guys go back first. Don't talk too much about this matter at the factory to avoid causing panic."
Lu Yong and several aunts nodded repeatedly.
The mole lady stepped forward hesitantly and said, "Director Gong, we haven't been to work for most of the day, so our salary..."
Director Gong forced a smile on his rather stern face: "Your salary will be paid as usual. Go back quickly."
After hearing his words, everyone no longer hesitated.
The canning factory was not far away. Lu Yong scratched his head and said, "Director Gong, I still have to go to the county hospital.
If those aunts are alright, I'll use a tractor to pull them back."
Director Gong nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, go ahead. This trip will be counted as the cannery's. I'll give you a two-dollar subsidy later."
Lu Yong didn't expect such a good thing to happen, and he danced with joy.
Lu Zhiye and Lu Yuanshan found some thick sticks and tied the old cow upside down on the sticks.
They called two people for help and carried the old cow back to the cannery.
Originally, Li Zhi wanted Lao Niu to stay here to make it easier for them to investigate the case.
But Director Gong's words dispelled his idea: "This old cow is a source of food for others. The weather is so cold, we must find a veterinarian to take a look at it immediately."
It won't be long before I get sick again. The countryside is different from the city. We rely on cows for everything. "
