Chapter 61 Jiang Duo left and disappeared
Mingzhu prepared dinner at home and waited and waited. Even after Ming Chunni had finished picking mulberry leaves and feeding silkworms, Jiang Duo still hadn’t come back with Qiao Bin for dinner.
Seeing the moon rising above the willows, Mingzhu was really worried. She asked her aunt to eat first, and she went to her eldest brother’s house who worked with Jiang Duo to ask about the situation.
As a result, she found out that Jiang Duo and Qiao Bin left together before the end of the work.
After all, they were from the militia, and they didn’t need to tell others what they were doing, so the people on the dam didn’t know where the two had gone.
Mingzhu thanked them and went home, thinking that Jiang Duo was very measured in his actions, and that there must be something urgent that he didn’t come back to tell her.
She simply settled down first, left food for the two of them, and had dinner with her aunt.
At night, she was alone at the door, enjoying the cool air, and waited until eleven o'clock in the evening.
Jiang Duo would usually be back at this time.
But tonight, the only things that accompanied her were the rustling sound of the night wind caressing the willow branches and the chirping of insects in the ditches by the roadside, which were unique to summer nights.
In the past, she liked to listen to this kind of music of nature, but today, the more she listened, the more uneasy she felt...
She returned home in the late night, and finally fell asleep at dawn after suffering from insomnia.
For the next two days, Jiang Duo and Qiao Bin did not show up.
The villagers also noticed this and started to talk about something behind their backs.
Of course, these words did not reach Mingzhu's ears, and Mingzhu was not aware of it.
At noon, after lunch, my aunt went to the river to wash clothes. Mingzhu was about to clean up the table when she saw Ming Xiaojie approaching her door with a smug look on her face.
"Hey, your husband hasn't been home for two days, and you're still in the mood to eat."
"It's none of your business. I don't want to bother with you today. Don't bother me. Get out of here!"
"You're probably in a bad mood because you know Jiang Duo is going to be transferred."
Mingzhu raised her eyes and her eyes turned cold: "What did you say?"
"Oh, it seems he didn't tell you," Ming Xiaojie said proudly, as if she knew everything. "My dad saw that Jiang Duo and Qiao Bin hadn't come back for two days, so he went to the town to ask. Jiang Duo and Qiao Bin were originally temporarily arranged by the higher authorities to help Xiaojing Village. They are probably going to be transferred back."
As she spoke, she walked proudly in front of Mingzhu and laughed, "They came to live here temporarily for a few days, and married you just to sleep with women. When they left, they didn't even say hello to you. They didn't plan to stay with you for a long time. Don't you think you're ridiculous? You argued with me and thought you found a treasure, but in the end..."
She was proud, but Mingzhu didn't want to listen to her noise.
She picked up the soup on the table and splashed it on Ming Xiaojie.
Ming Xiaojie screamed, looked down at the new skirt that she had changed into deliberately to anger Mingzhu, and jumped up and cursed: "Mingzhu, you lunatic, this skirt is new and I bought it, you have to compensate me."
"Pay your grandfather, I was just making vegetable soup in my own yard, and you, a blind man, bumped into me. Who do you blame?"
Ming Xiaojie was furious. She had only worn this dress once. She stepped forward and raised her hand to slap Mingzhu, but Mingzhu grabbed her wrist, pulled her in front of her, slapped her in the face with her backhand, and pushed her to the ground.
Mingzhu's eyes were full of anger, and
she stepped forward and questioned: "Are you going to get out or not? If not, I will leave you here today!" Ming Xiaojie gritted her teeth, and realized that she could not beat Mingzhu. She stood up and patted the soup on her body as she walked out, not forgetting to curse: "You slut, no wonder your man doesn't want you anymore, you deserve it, you will be a widow for the rest of your life!"
Ming Xiaojie walked away, and Mingzhu's face became colder.
Jiang Duo was not the irresponsible person that Ming Xiaojie said. He was disciplined and measured in his work. He would not disappear without reason. Something must have happened.
But she didn't know where he went, or even where his hometown was, and there was no way to find it.
In her two lifetimes, this was the first time she was so worried about someone, and it was not a pleasant feeling.
Mingzhu decided to wait another afternoon. If Jiang Duo didn't come back tomorrow, she would take the marriage certificate to the county town... to check!
In the evening, she called Ming Dacheng and Jiang Cuilan to her home and asked them to carry a few loads of Tai Sui water back. She was busy these days, so she asked Jiang Cuilan to help her manage the tofu business and distribute water to their families.
Jiang Cuilan naturally agreed and comforted Mingzhu.
After Mingzhu sent the two away, she closed the door early, planning to have a good rest tonight so that she could look for someone tomorrow.
But just as she lay down, there was a roar of a motorcycle at the door, which was extremely inconsistent with this era.
Mingzhu immediately got up, quickly got off the kang and came to the courtyard.
Qiao Bin had already rushed in from outside the door. When he saw Mingzhu, he called out urgently, "Sister-in-law, something happened to the captain! Pack up quickly and come to the county hospital with me!"
Mingzhu felt a little nervous when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses.
Time was running out, so she went into the house without asking any more questions, took her bag, told Ming Chunni to look after the house, and got on Qiao Bin's tricycle.
Zhou Changming was also on the tricycle.
Mingzhu was sitting in the solo fighting position. After the car started, she still did not ask what happened, but only inquired about Jiang Duo's condition: "How is he now?"
"Just..." Qiao Bin was riding a motorcycle with a sad face, "The boss was injured while saving me, and he is in a coma. The doctors in the county hospital have never performed such a major operation, so they asked us to transfer to a higher-level hospital. I was afraid that running too far would delay the treatment, so I came back to ask Doctor Zhou for help. I was afraid that you would worry, so I came to take you with me."
Mingzhu frowned. She didn't hear the key point after listening for a long time, and her tone was inevitably a little bad: "I'm asking you where he was injured?" "
There are injuries on the head and back."
Mingzhu frowned. The head injury and coma must be very serious.
Zhou Changming saw that Mingzhu was visibly agitated, so he soothed her: "This motorcycle is fast, we will be able to get to the hospital soon, don't worry."
Mingzhu nodded, and it was all she could do for now.
Qiao Bin rode the motorcycle very fast, and arrived at the county hospital in less than 20 minutes.
The three of them hurried to the ward where Jiang Duo was.
As an emergency doctor, Mingming was used to seeing all kinds of patients, but she was still upset when she saw Jiang Duo, such a big man, lying on the bed with a gauze tied on his head and not moving.
She felt heartbroken, very painful.
After Zhou Changming explained his identity to the doctors at the hospital, the doctors became visibly respectful to him.
While he was examining Jiang Duo, Mingzhu was also examining him.
The wound on Jiang Duo's back was a scratch caused by a sharp weapon. After cleaning, it was not deep, but it was very long. Such a wound would cause a person to fall into a coma even if there was excessive blood loss.
The main problem was the head trauma. The wound was not big, but it caused a coma... It must be due to intracranial bleeding.
After looking at Jiang Duo's pupils, Zhou Changming gave a diagnosis at the same time -
"The victim may have intracranial bleeding and surgery must be arranged immediately."
This year, there was no CT equipment in the country, and the diagnosis relied entirely on the doctor's experience.
The surgical equipment was not advanced, Mingzhu was worried and said bluntly: "Teacher Zhou, please take me to the operating table..."
