A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 108 The doctor comes and the thief enters the hospital

When Shen Jiaren and Accountant Zhou worked together to boil water, took out the washed bowls, placed them on the screen wall and invited everyone to come and drink water, Shen Jiaren heard someone knocking on the door.

When Shen Jiaren heard someone knocking on the door, she was very curious. There were public security officers guarding the door, so why would someone knock on the door?

Shen Jiaren walked to the gate and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Liu Hui. My public security colleagues and I have brought doctors and nurses from the town, as well as a stretcher. Please open the door."

After listening to this, Shen Jiaren opened all the doors and saw a doctor and two nurses coming in. The most important thing was that Liu Hui and the public security comrade were carrying a stent.

Shen Jiaren made way to let Liu Hui, the public security comrades, the doctors and the nurses enter the yard. The people outside saw that the doctors had come and became even more curious about what was happening inside.

I just wanted to follow the doctors and nurses into Shen Jiaren's yard to see what was going on.

Shen Jiaren saw the public security comrades at the door, blocking the gate of the yard with an attitude of one man blocking a thousand men from passing through.

Shen Jiaren looked at the villagers outside who were craning their necks to look inside, smiled, and then closed the gate of the courtyard. As expected, everyone loves gossip, but she became the center of the gossip, which was really a bad feeling.

Shen Jiaren looked at the people who had gathered around the pit again and said, "Don't be busy yet. Come and take turns to have a drink of water. This has been going on for a long time, and we don't know how long it will take. Have a drink of water first."

The leading public security officer said, "Xiao Liu, you just came back. Go drink a glass of water and take a rest to save your energy. After the doctors and nurses have finished checking the people in the pit, let them drink a glass of water and take a rest. Then we will start moving people out."

"Yes, leader." The public security comrade who came back with Liu Hui stood at attention and saluted the public security comrade who was speaking, then walked towards the screen wall.

When the captain Liu Dashan saw this, he said to Liu Hui and the militia captain, "You two should also go drink some water and take a rest so that you can cooperate with the police to move the bracket later."

After Liu Hui and the militia captain responded, they also walked towards the screen wall, ready to drink a glass of water and take a rest.

The public security officer said to Liu Dashan, "Let's first cooperate with the doctors and nurses to check whether this person can be moved and how to move him. We will cooperate to move him first, and they will help to move the stent."

"Okay," Liu Dashan replied.

Seeing that these people had a clear division of labor, Shen Jiaren stood at the edge of the pit and began to watch what was happening to the people below.

The color of the soil in the pit seemed to have darkened a little, and the barbs inside and on the pit's edge had been removed. The doctor had already begun to check Zhou Jinbao's condition in the pit.

Although Shen Jiaren was helping in the kitchen, she also heard the conversation between the captain and the public security comrades.

I don't know what Aunt Zhou's mentality would be when she sees her most beloved son become like this. You cheated Chen Jiaojiao before, and now her son is suspected of stealing from Chen Jiaojiao, and he was caught red-handed in his own home.

In this day and age, the crime of theft can be either serious or minor.

The problem is that what was stolen was the money of the educated youth. To put it in a small way, it was ordinary financial theft. To put it in a big way, it destroyed the harmonious coexistence between the educated youth and the villagers, and it was a reactionary mentality of not following Chairman Mao’s leadership guidelines.

I just don't know how to characterize it when I see it.

I don’t know if Chen Jiaojiao can seize this opportunity to recover some of her lost money after knowing this situation.

It would be difficult to get them all back, considering that Zhou Jinbao took the risk and jumped into his own home during the day.

Now we have to see how much is left.

Shen Jiaren was just thinking about the direction and development of the incident when she saw the public security comrades and team leader Liu Dashan working with the doctors and nurses to lift Zhou Jinbao out of the pit.

Shen Jiaren didn't see how they lifted him up, but she saw that Zhou Jinbao was indeed badly injured, because the clothes in front of his body were all soaked with blood.

After Zhou Jinbao was lifted up, he was laid flat on the stretcher.

The doctor had already started cutting Zhou Jinbao's clothes and cleaning his wounds.

The doctor bandaged the wound skillfully, and the militia captain and the public security comrades prepared to carry the stretcher out. Liu Hui followed beside them just in case.

When the doctor saw this situation, he gave direct advice. If the patient was riding on a tractor, he should put something in the bed to prevent secondary injuries after being shaken.

If a person is carried all the way to the town, it will take too long, and someone will need to keep changing hands to help. Most importantly, the pace of the person front and back must be consistent.

When the captain Liu Dashan heard what was said, he said directly to Liu Hui, "Liu Hui, go out and spread straw in the truck bed first. Make it thicker and smoother. Also, find a blanket or something to cover Jin Bao when you move him out later to prevent Aunt Zhou from seeing him and causing unnecessary panic."

Also, after you have packed up, come in and give me the quilt, then help the police move the support."

"Yeah." After Liu Hui responded, he walked out the door, ready to do as the team leader Liu Dashan suggested.

Seeing that they had to go out to sort out and bring back the things, Shen Jiaren said to Liu Hui, "No need to go out. I have straw in the kitchen. As for the things that can cover up Zhou Jinbao's appearance, I have some unwanted sacks and clothes. What do you want?"

The police captain said, "Don't use clothes. They can still be worn. Just find a sack to cover your face."

Team leader Liu Dashan said, "Accountant Zhou, please help Liu Hui and Shen Zhiqing load the straw into the truck bed, so that we can go faster."

As for me, Public Security Comrade, what do you think about the two of us standing at the door to maintain order?

After all, with just two of us standing there, the villagers won’t get too involved.”

"can."

After Liu Dashan finished speaking, everyone started to act separately according to the advice of Liu Dashan and the doctor.

Shen Jiaren opened the door for Liu Hui and prepared to let Liu Hui drive the tractor, while she and Accountant Zhou went to the kitchen to start moving straw.

As soon as the gate was opened, a circle of people gathered at the door. Liu Dashan and the leader of the public security department stood on one side of the gate, and the public security comrades stood at the door. The three of them guarded the gate on each side.

Everyone gathered around the gate and kept looking into the yard, hoping to see something, but in the end they could only see the pine cones and firewood that Shen Jiaren had dried under the awning, and nothing else.

Liu Hui's tractor stopped in front of Shen Jiaren's gate, with the bed facing the gate and the front of the car facing the road. He then stepped on the brakes, waiting for the people inside to take action.

Liu Dashan saw that Liu Hui's tractor had stopped at the gate and called out, "Accountant Zhou, Shen Zhiqing, move quickly."

Accountant Zhou responded and he and Shen Jiaren quickened their movements. Shen Jiaren spread straw in the truck bed while Accountant Zhou kept moving the straw. Soon, the truck bed was fully covered with straw.

After Shen Jiaren jumped off the truck and entered the house, she opened the warehouse in the west room, took out a torn woven bag, and handed it to the doctor standing next to the stretcher.

After the doctor covered Zhou Jinbao's head and half of his body with the bag, he asked the stretcher bearers to start moving.

Shen Jiaren was still curious as to why she didn't see Zhou Jinbao shouting for help, but when the stretcher was lifted up, Shen Jiaren saw that Zhou Jinbao's two hands were tied to the stretcher.

Shen Jiaren watched the comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the doctors and nurses get on the truck. When Liu Hui saw that everyone was on the tractor, he released his foot on the brake and prepared to rush to the town.

Seeing that Accountant Zhou had not gotten into the car, Liu Dashan said to Accountant Zhou, "Go and withdraw some money from the account, and come to the hospital to find us later."

"Xiao Li, you maintain public order. After Shen Zhiqing closes the door, bring Shen Zhiqing and Accountant Zhou to the hospital to find us."

Shen Jiaren saw that she still had something to do. The police leader's words seemed to be asking her, why did he ask her to close the door? Why did he ask her to go to the town with Accountant Zhou and the police? Was he afraid of any accidents? Or did he think Zhou Jinbao had accomplices?

Shen Jiaren thought for a moment and quickly replied, "Just in case, after I close the door, I will go to the town with you, go to the hospital and then to the Public Security Bureau, and I will not be back today."

Liu Dashan understood what was said and said directly, "Accountant Zhou, please write a certificate and accompany Xiao Shen to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with the investigation."

Accountant Zhou nodded and stood at Shen Jiaren's door waiting for her to pack up.

Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Hui drove the tractor directly towards the town.

Accountant Zhou and Xiao Li accompanied Shen Jiaren into the yard and waited for her to pack her things.

When Shen Jiaren was about to go in and clean up, she suddenly thought that if she left, the trap would be destroyed. What if someone else came? Shen Jiaren turned around and said to Xiao Li, "Comrade Public Security, can you help me restore the traps and barbs under the wall of my yard?"

Xiao Li looked around and saw that the barbs beside the wall and the trap had been put away. He nodded and said, "You go and pack your things first. I'll sort it out. It will be done soon."

Shen Jiaren nodded and went into the main house to pack her things. She put her more valuable things in the manor. After cleaning the main house, she cleaned up the west room and then the kitchen. When Shen Jiaren came out, the public security comrades had successfully reinstalled the barbs under the wall and the barbs in the trap.

Shen Jiaren carried a basket in her hand and went out with Accountant Zhou and Comrade Xiao Li, heading towards the brigade.

After Accountant Zhou took the money from the village account, the three of them walked towards the town together.

After the three of them rushed to the town hospital, Shen Jiaren and Comrade Xiao Li began to look for where Zhou Jinbao was sent, preparing to reunite with the main force.

Accountant Zhou hurried to the cashier window to see if there was anyone named Zhou Jinbao in the hospital and prepare to pay the bill.

While Shen Jiaren and Comrade Xiao Li were looking for someone, Accountant Zhou found the location of Zhou Jinbao's ward. After the three of them met up, they walked towards Zhou Jinbao's ward.

The group entered the ward and found that Liu Hui was the only one in the ward.

"Liu family boy, why are you here alone? Where are the others?"

"Zhou Jinbao's condition is quite serious and he needs surgery immediately. Everyone else will stay in the operating room. I will clean up the ward. After Zhou Jinbao's surgery, he can move in directly."

Accountant Zhou nodded and continued, "When I went to pay the bill, the comrade at the hospital cashier's office said that part of the fee had already been paid. Who paid for it?"

"It was paid for by the comrades from the Public Security Bureau. The captain wanted me to wait for you in the ward and then tell you to return the money to the comrades from the Public Security Bureau."

After Accountant Zhou nodded, the others fell silent.

An awkward atmosphere continued to spread among the few people.

Shen Jiaren asked, "Did Zhou Jinbao say anything?"

"No, on the way here, my mouth and hands were tied up, and the doctor said that I had lost too much blood, so he didn't ask any more questions. But the public security comrade said that there were probably companions. Zhou Jinbao was the first to lead the charge, and there were also people in the middle to provide support, and there were also people in the back to cover the rear. Now I don't know how many people are left, but what is certain is that there are at least three people.

Comrade Gong'an wants you to stay in the town for a few days and not go back to avoid being retaliated. Accountant Zhou has probably prepared a letter of introduction for you, and you can just stay at the Public Security Bureau's guesthouse when the time comes."

Shen Jiaren nodded and said, "Three people? This is a gang, right? Is Zhou Jinbao unlucky this time? I didn't expect there would be so many traps under my wall?"

"It should be a gang. They set a trap but it was exposed. It doesn't make much sense. It's better for you to stay in the Public Security Bureau guesthouse for the next few days."

Shen Jiaren curled her lips, intending to ease the awkward atmosphere, but she didn't expect that the melon would still be eaten by herself, and she was asked to leave her house and live in the guesthouse of the Public Security Bureau.

Shen Jiaren wanted to ask, how long will I have to stay here? When can the thief be caught? If the thief can't be caught, then do I have to stay in the guesthouse forever?

Is this guesthouse expensive? Can I afford to stay there?

Yes, the most critical question was not asked, "If I stay in a guesthouse, how should I pay for the accommodation? Is the guesthouse expensive?"

"The captain has communicated with the public security comrades' leaders, and they said that the guesthouse you are staying in is free, but you need to pay for your own meals."

When Shen Jiaren heard this, she felt that it was not a big deal. As for the food, she just had to make do with what she had. If that didn't work, she had food in her own manor so she could eat whatever she wanted.

Just be careful to avoid people when eating.

When Shen Jiaren was thinking about how to eat without being discovered, Zhou Jinbao came out of the operating room and was pushed into the ward by the nurse.
