A Time Travel Effort in the 70s

Chapter 106 Going to town to pick up a doctor to save the thief

The public security officer nodded and said, "Who is the owner of this house?"

Shen Jiaren stood up and said, "It's me."

"Then please open the door and let us go in to check what's going on."

"Okay, but I want you and the village cadres to go in, and no other irrelevant people are allowed in for the time being, because I'm afraid someone will take advantage of the situation and do something bad to me."

"We understand this request. We will arrange for one comrade to guard the door, and the others will go in to check the situation. Xiao Li, you will guard the door for a while and do not let any unauthorized persons in."

After hearing this, a young policeman stepped to the door, stood at attention, saluted, and then answered.

"A lot, Captain."

When Shen Jiaren saw that the public security comrade had agreed to her request, she walked to the gate and started to open it.

Seeing this, the villagers wanted to squeeze forward, ready to take a look at what was going on in the yard when the gate opened. It would be even better if they could see some gossip.

At this time, Xiao Li spread his arms wide, and except for the village cadres and public security comrades at the door, the rest of the people were blocked outside his arms. Some people even rushed forward to bump into him, but the young man didn't move at all, and still stood in front of the gate to prevent the onlookers from entering.

After Shen Jiaren praised her strength in her heart, she opened the gate.

After Shen Jiaren opened the door and went in, she waited by the door. After the team leader Liu Dashan, accountant Zhou, the militia captain, Liu Hui and the public security comrades went in, she directly locked the door from the inside.

As soon as they entered, everyone's attention was drawn to the cry for help from under the wall.

I saw a pit appearing not far from the wall. The key point was that there were some barbs and glass spikes on the edge of the pit. The barbs looked okay, but the cold light flashed by the glass spikes made everyone's heart tremble.

These are glass spikes made from glass bottles. They are so sharp that if you are not careful you can leave a cut. If you use a little more force you might even cut off a piece of flesh.

No wonder someone heard the cry for help. If he hadn’t called for help, he would have been waiting to die.

The key issue is that we only saw a pit but didn’t see what was inside it. The edge of the pit and the wall were so creepy, so wouldn’t the bottom of the pit be even more terrifying?

The comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the village cadres of the brigade all walked towards the sound, carefully sorting out the various barbs as they went, and came to the edge of the pit, ready to see what was going on inside the pit.

While the comrades from the Public Security Bureau and the village cadres were walking towards the pit, Shen Jiaren checked to see if the door locks of her houses had been pried open.

After Shen Jiaren checked and found no signs of prying, she opened the door and walked around the kitchen, west room, main room, and east room to see if there was anything that shouldn't be there. Then she locked the door again and walked to the edge of the pit.

When Shen Jiaren arrived at the pit, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau were observing the situation inside the pit. Seeing Shen Jiaren coming over, they asked, "Comrade, did you set this trap?"

"No, I paid someone to do it."

"Then may I ask, what is in this pit?"

"Just like the ground, there are wooden barbs and glass barbs. The density of the laying is almost the same as the ground."

"How deep is this pit?"

"I don't remember. I just asked the worker to make a trap to ensure that people can't get out after falling into it. This way, it will be convenient to ensure my safety."

"Can you tell me who made this trap? This trap and the barbs on the ground beside the wall are all very professionally made. It looks like they are quite skilled. They must be either an experienced hunter or have relevant experience."

"I can't find it. When I went to town, I saw a man holding a sign saying he was looking for work. I told him my idea and he said he could do it. So I took him back to do the work. After the work was done, he took the money and left."

Liu Hui looked at Shen Jiaren who was lying seriously and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

Indeed, it is safer to say that it was done by an outsider than to know that it was done by yourself. After all, if it was done by yourself, you will definitely be asked about the origin of your skill. If it was someone else, especially such a random person, the comrades from the Public Security Bureau will not be able to ask even if they want to.

After Shen Jiaren finished speaking, she felt the various looks from the people around her and said calmly, "Comrade Public Security, may I ask what you want to see him about?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask the person who made this trap how deep it was dug and what kind of barbs were put inside to make it easier to rescue people. After all, the person below doesn't look like he can stand up."

As soon as the public security comrade finished speaking, the people surrounding the pit were no longer surprised by Shen Jiaren's words. Instead, they looked carefully at the current condition of the man in the pit. After all, the man was lying down, and others could not see what was under him. They could only see that the color of the soil next to the man was much darker.

When the militia captain saw this, he immediately said to the public security comrade, "Public Security comrade, it seems that this person is in a condition that is not convenient to move. How about we ask the tractor driver in our village to go to the town and find a doctor to take a look?

In this situation, I feel that the barefoot doctors in the village clinic are definitely not good enough, and our barefoot doctors are not doctors since ancient times, but doctors who changed their profession halfway."

"Then let's split into two groups. One person from your village and one from our police station will go to the town hospital to look for Director Wang from the trauma department. We will let the police station tell us the specific situation and you will cooperate.

The rest of us will clean up the barbs on the ground around the pit and inside the pit first, and try not to move the patient to avoid causing secondary injuries."

Captain Liu Dashan responded, "Liu Hui, drive the tractor and take the comrades from the Public Security Bureau to the town hospital to bring a doctor.

Militia captain, you and the public security comrades should clear the barbs on the ground near the pit and on the bottom of the pit.

Shen Zhiqing, go prepare some hot water for people to drink, or for the doctor to use when he comes.

Lao Zhou, help Shen Zhiqing for a while, and after that, come over and help clean the barbs."

Liu Hui, the militia captain, and Accountant Zhou all responded after hearing this, but Shen Jiaren remained silent and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

When Shen Jiaren heard what the captain said, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen, curling her lips as she walked. She had to boil water to serve this thief who was going to steal from her? Was the captain crazy?

The captain looked at Shen Jiaren's appearance and quickly winked at Accountant Zhou, asking him to catch up quickly.

When the public security comrade saw this, he quickly stopped Shen Jiaren and said, "Shen Zhiqing, please stay."

When Shen Jiaren heard someone calling her, she turned around to see who was calling her.

When the public security comrade saw Shen Jiaren turn around, he quickly said, "Shen Zhiqing, although there is one person in the pit, there is no guarantee that there are no other accomplices. It would be better if someone follows you.

Although you have just checked the house, you cannot guarantee that there is no one else there.

Also, after checking the condition of your house, did you find anything stolen?"

When Shen Jiaren heard what the police said, her heart skipped a beat. She had originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to check her house, but she didn't expect to be caught red-handed. She quickly replied, "I checked, and there are no signs of the locks of the rooms being pried open, and there are no signs of the house being turned over."

"Then please boil some hot water, just in case the doctor comes later."

Shen Jiaren's mouth twitched a few times before she replied, "Okay."

After Shen Jiaren finished speaking, she walked towards the coal stove. There was a pot of water. No one said what kind of water it was.

Accountant Zhou looked at Shen Jiaren's actions, shook his head and smiled, then said, "Shen Zhiqing, let's go to the kitchen and use the iron pot to boil it. We can boil it all at once, and some can be drunk and some can be used. There is no need to boil it again."

Shen Jiaren replied, "I have a thermos, I can use it when the time comes. If I use the coal stove, it's just a matter of burning it a few more times."

"It's okay. Let's save some coal. After all, it costs money to buy it. Let's go to the kitchen and use the clay stove and iron pot to cook. You can just help me then."

Seeing that the coal stove was a convenient way to save trouble and her little idea could not be realized, Shen Jiaren turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

Shen Jiaren opened the kitchen door and said to Accountant Zhou, "I usually cook with a coal stove. A coal stove can also burn firewood, and it's more convenient for one person. So the kitchen is a little dusty, don't mind it."

Accountant Zhou entered the kitchen through the door opened by Shen Jiaren. It was not just a little dusty, but a sign that it had not been used recently. Accountant Zhou walked around the kitchen. There was no water in the vat, and there was a layer of dust in the pot and around the pot. But the good thing was that one side of the kitchen was full of firewood.

Accountant Zhou sighed and said, "Shen Zhiqing, find a basin and a rag and clean the kitchen. I'll get some water and wash the pot. Let's boil the water first."

Shen Jiaren nodded and pointed to the bucket and tools on the kitchen wall and said, "Accountant Zhou, the bucket for collecting water is over there, the tools for washing pots are on the wall, and the matches are next to it. You can see them when you go over there."

Accountant Zhou nodded and took the bucket to fetch water from the well in the yard.

When Accountant Zhou walked to the well to fetch water, he saw the firewood, pine cones, and various mushrooms that Shen Jiaren had dried under the shed. He couldn't help but sigh, this person is really not what you can judge by appearance.

The girl who looked thin and small turned out to be the one who knew how to live the most among the educated youth. The most direct manifestation of her way of living was that she did not use a clay stove, but a coal stove. Because of this, not only did she use less firewood, but she also had a lot of firewood stored for safety.

Accountant Zhou looked at the well for a long time and found that there was no water. He could not use the pressurized well, so he shouted to Shen Jiaren, "Shen Zhiqing, where is the water from your pressurized well?"
