Chapter 41 Shen Xiangdong is injured
Shen Ruoqing looked up at these educated youths. They were all dressed quite well, much better than the people in the village. Among the female educated youths, the one with the surname Shu and the one with the surname Yang had fair skin, barely considered to be pretty. Among the male educated youths, the one called Mu Bai had sharp features, deep eyes, a clear figure, a graceful and elegant figure, and a noble and dignified look. In short, he was the one who could be seen as the protagonist in the crowd at a glance! He was much more handsome than that scumbag Lin Chen! Mu Bai also looked at Shen Ruoqing twice more, which was noticed by Shu Lijuan. She said, "Does your team come to pick us up just to let us walk back? Did this female comrade walk back with us as well?"
"Originally, the oxcart could have accommodated several of you female comrades, but you see, you have too much luggage, and it can't accommodate you. Comrade Shen Ruoqing is relatively thin, so only she can sit." Captain Tang shook his head. In fact, if they squeezed together, two more female comrades could sit, but then one female comrade would be left alone. Moreover, the ox is now the valuable property of the brigade, so how can it be used like this?
As for letting Shen Ruoqing walk and letting other female educated youth come up? If Old Lady Ji knew about this, she would have to torture herself to death. Originally, Old Lady Ji blamed herself for letting Shen Dahai go to dig. She felt guilty, so how could she let Shen Ruoqing be wronged and let these unfamiliar educated youth ride in the ox cart?
Several female comrades looked at their luggage, especially Shu Lijuan, who had four large packages. The other educated youths also had a lot of stuff, but Qian Damei had only two packages, one large and one small.
"Our brigade is not far from here. It will take more than three hours to walk there." Tang Dezhong said.
The three men looked at each other. Even if there were seats available, it would not be their turn. They all silently piled their luggage onto the ox cart.
"We can take turns riding the ox cart." Yang Pingfang said. Although she disliked the smell of the ox cart, it would take more than three hours to ride, and her legs would be broken.
"There's no room for the oxen." Captain Tang frowned. What's wrong with these educated youth? They want to cause trouble as soon as they arrive. Ruoqing is still young. How dare they fight for a seat with a half-grown child?
"Put your luggage up here. It's getting late and we have to go back early."
There was no other way. They couldn't directly confront Captain Tang, so they had to put their luggage on the cart one by one and follow the ox cart.
They hadn't walked half a mile when there was a sudden cry of surprise. Shu Lijuan said aggrievedly, "I sprained my ankle."
Captain Tang stopped and Shen Ruoqing also jumped off the ox cart.
"Comrade Shen, I'm so sorry. There was a stone just now and I accidentally twisted my ankle." Shu Lijuan looked at Shen Ruoqing apologetically. Yang Pingfang, who was standing by, saw this and said, "Is it a fake sprain?" Damn it, she also thought of pretending to sprain her ankle and ride in a ox cart, but before she started to implement it, Shu Lijuan got there first.
"It's really twisted." Shen Ruoqing squatted down and said.
"I'm so sorry. Have I held everyone back?" Shu Lijuan said softly, and she looked as if she was really sorry.
"It's okay, look at what Mu Zhiqing is doing?"
Shu Lijuan turned her head to look over, and Shen Ruoqing twisted her foot again.
"Okay, it's okay, try taking a few steps." Shen Ruoqing stood up and clapped his hands. It was just a sprained ankle, no big deal.
Shu Lijuan really wanted to say that it was not healed, but after she tried it a little, she found that her foot was really healed.
"Comrade Shen also knows this?" Mu Bai looked at Shen Ruoqing with deep eyes.
"I have learned medicine from the doctor in our brigade, and I can treat minor injuries and bruises." Shen Ruoqing said, "It's getting late, let's continue on our journey."
After saying that, Shen Ruoqing returned to the ox cart.
The educated youth finally did not cause any trouble along the way. Instead, Mu Bai asked a lot of questions, all about the team's affairs, and Captain Tang answered them very patiently.
Because the educated youth had never walked such a long distance, Captain Tang said it would take more than three hours to get there, but in fact it took them almost five hours to reach the village gate.
"This is our Dashitou Village. Your educated youth point is on the west side. I will lead you there. The team will lend you 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes each. You can come to me to get them after you arrive at the educated youth point. You will have to earn cents to pay them back in the future. You will have a day off tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the team will start digging sweet potatoes. You will start work at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Don't be late."
"What? Only 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes? No fine grains?"
"How long will it take to eat these 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes?"
…
Shen Ruoqing had completed her mission. She jumped off the ox cart and walked towards her home. As for the troublesome matter of the educated youth, she would let Captain Tang solve it.
"Ruoqing, you're back? Go to your house quickly, your brother is injured!" An uncle who was passing by saw Shen Ruoqing and said quickly.
"We encountered a pack of wolves while hunting, and your eldest brother was bitten by a wolf!"
"What?" Shen Ruoqing didn't even have time to thank him and immediately ran towards his home.
The Shen family's yard was full of people. When he got closer, he could hear the crying of the eldest sister-in-law Han. Zhou Feng blamed himself and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Shen. It's all because I didn't lead the team well. Brother Shen was bitten by a wolf."
"Don't you have a shotgun with you? How come you can't handle a few wolves? My home is to the east! Wake up!"
"Sister-in-law Han, Zhou Feng can't be blamed for this. It was Chen Hongtian and the others who disobeyed orders and insisted on acting alone, attracting a pack of wolves. There were at least 30 wolves in that pack. I didn't expect there were so many wolves in Daqing Mountain. Shen Xiangdong was injured while trying to save people."

Doctor Li was checking Shen Xiangdong's leg when Shen Ruoqing rushed in: "What's wrong, brother?"
"Ruoqing girl, you came at the right time. Your brother's leg was bitten and it seems to be broken. Anyway, I can't take care of it. Go to the brigade and borrow a bullock cart to take your brother to the county hospital."
"I can run fast. I'll go borrow a ox cart." Shen Hansong wiped his face and ran out quickly.
Shen Ruoqing hurried to Shen Xiangdong's side. He was weak, but not in danger of death. Then he looked at Shen Xiangdong's broken leg. He was bitten by a wolf and fell. It looked like it was broken.
Shen Ruoqing said: "Third sister-in-law, go find me two sticks and some cloth."
She had to stabilize her broken leg to avoid secondary injury when she was sent to the hospital.
Mrs. Du obediently found the things.
Everyone watched Shen Ruoqing fix Shen Xiangdong's injuries and feed something into Shen Xiangdong's mouth.
"Ruoqing girl, what did you give your brother to eat?"
"Some refreshing medicine and some blood-replenishing medicine." Shen Ruoqing said, "The refreshing medicine can help big brother wake up quickly."
Zhou Feng said: "I can drive a ox cart. I was the one who brought the injured person in, so let me take him to the hospital." In fact, Zhou Feng was thinking that going to the county hospital would definitely cost a lot of money, so he went to pay some of the money for them.
"No need. We appreciate Brother Zhou's kindness. I know this matter has none of your business. We can just take Brother to the hospital ourselves." Shen Ruoqing refused Zhou Feng and followed Han, Old Lady Ji and Shen Xiangnan onto the ox cart.
