Chapter 367: Rescue
Chapter 367: Rescue
With the intervention of people from the province, the matter was handled quite quickly.
Ever since Lu Cheng discovered the new coal mine, the higher-ups sent people to investigate Lu Cheng's situation. They learned that Lu Cheng had volunteered to go to the countryside in northern Shaanxi, and had done a lot of practical things for the village. The higher-ups have decided to designate Lu Cheng as a representative of advanced educated youth, to give him special praise, and are considering letting Lu Cheng give a speech to the educated youth in northern Shaanxi.
In fact, over the past two months, educated youth from all over the country have started to become more or less upset.
It was difficult for these young people from the city to accept coming to this barren place in northern Shaanxi, doing hard labor that they had never done before, and enduring hunger.
Moreover, all the rural areas in northern Shaanxi lack arable land. The land in this village cannot support the villagers. The village also has to accept a dozen educated youths who have little labor force, and in the future they will take away the villagers' already limited food.
Under such circumstances, conflicts arose between many educated youth and local villagers.
There were also some scoundrels and petty ruffians in some villages who bullied the female educated youth from other villages, which further aggravated the conflicts between the educated youth and the villagers.
Therefore, the higher-ups also planned to hold a meeting for the educated youth to calm their emotions, and then select some outstanding educated youth representatives to praise them, set an example, and call on other educated youth to learn from them.
Under such circumstances, Lu Cheng, an educated youth with particularly outstanding performance, has attracted the special attention of leaders from all parties.
After understanding all aspects of the situation, the police station and the Youth League Office took prompt action, severely criticized the villagers, and asked the few thugs who had initially acted to apologize to the Youth League.
Originally, the villagers did not agree with this treatment, but the police comrades subdued them with ease.
"Do you know that the educated youth you besieged discovered a large coal mine in our Jingbian County? How big of a deal is that? That educated youth is very familiar with the leaders of the coal mine. If you keep making trouble like this, when the coal mine starts recruiting workers in the future, it will directly skip your village and not even recruit villagers from your commune as workers. Let's see what you will do!"
Once these words were spoken, there was no need to say anything more. The villagers in that village took the initiative to pull those little thugs along, apologized to Lu Cheng and his group of educated youth, and asked for forgiveness.
Lu Cheng and others naturally wouldn't hold on to it, as they didn't suffer any loss anyway.
After the matter was resolved, everyone dispersed.
However, after this incident, Lu Cheng became completely famous in Jingbian County. Many people heard that there was an educated youth who was very good at fighting. He could fight dozens of people alone and still remain unscathed.
At noon, the Youth League Office invited Lu Cheng and others to stay and have a meal.
During this period, Director Ma Guiping of the Youth League Office, upon hearing Zhong Yuemin's name, immediately took Zhong Yuemin aside for questioning.
Ma Guiping used to be the bodyguard of Zhong Yuemin's father, Zhong Shanyue. When he met the old leader's son, he naturally had to catch up with the old times and take care of him.
"Brother Cheng, Director Ma took Yuemin away alone, is there anything wrong?"
"It should be fine. Maybe it's a good thing. When Director Ma heard Yuemin's name, he was obviously stunned. Yuemin's father also has many old subordinates scattered all over the place. It's not surprising to meet one or two of them."
Sure enough, after dinner, Zhong Yuemin came back, and it seemed that he had obviously eaten as well.
In the afternoon, everyone walked around the county again before returning to their respective villages.
When passing by the commune on the way back, Lu Cheng specially bought some meat to serve everyone a meat dish in the evening, which also made up for the bowl of mutton noodles he promised in the county town.
After dinner, Qin Ling and Lu Cheng went out separately, and finally came to a small slope outside the village and sat together.
"Lu Cheng, I didn't expect you to be such a good fighter. We were all scared at the time. You beat so many people by yourself, and you were able to escape unscathed."
"We are just a bunch of hungry villagers. There is nothing to brag about. Do you really think that all the hard work I put in getting up early every day is in vain?"
"Okay, okay, you are awesome. I admire you so much."
"I have saved you today, so why not repay me with something tangible?"
"Then should I say that I have done you a great favor and cannot repay you with anything, so I will just pledge my love to you?"
"That would be the best. However, there is no rush to pledge your love to me. It is necessary to collect some interest first..."
When Qin Ling returned to the dormitory, she saw that the three girls in the same dormitory were still awake and were waiting for her with their eyes wide open.
"Why are you looking at me like that? It's creepy."
"Hehe, of course we want to see if the golden flower at our educated youth site has been picked."
"Yes, come, let me see if there is any mark on this neck..."
In the blink of an eye, it is already May, and there is still a month before the wheat harvest season. Many people have almost run out of food at home, and people from many villages have begun to go to the city to beg for food. Some people are so hungry that they have no choice but to eat all the food on the Loess Plateau.
On this day, Lu Cheng came to the Hechuan Commune Health Center to replenish some medicines, alcohol and the like.
As soon as I entered the clinic, I saw a man in his 30s carrying a little girl of seven or eight years old on his back, running into the clinic in a hurry: "Doctor, doctor, please save my daughter."
"Come in quickly and put the child to bed. What's wrong with this child?"
"I don't know either. Maybe because they were too hungry yesterday, some kids caught two mice and roasted them for dinner. They told me about it when they came back."
Lu Cheng just took a look at the little girl on the man's back and found that the little girl was in a very bad condition. Given the skills of the three doctors in the health center, it would be difficult to save the child.
Lu Cheng didn't have time to think about it and just followed him into the house.
The doctor briefly examined the child and shook his head: "It's a little late to send him here."
The man knelt down on the spot when he heard this: "Doctor, I beg you, please save our daughter, she is only eight years old!"
Lu Cheng stepped forward, flipped the child's eyelids, and felt the child's pulse. Then he immediately said, "The child can still be saved. Do as I say now. Go prepare some warm water first..."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng first took out a small medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a pill, put it in the child's mouth, and then pressed several acupoints on the child's neck with his fingers. The child swallowed the pill subconsciously.
The three doctors were originally at a loss, but when they saw that Lu Cheng seemed to have a way to save the child, they immediately began to cooperate.
Rats already carry a large number of bacteria and viruses. The roasted rat that the child ate was probably not fully cooked, and coupled with some delay, it caused poisoning and pulmonary effusion.
Lu Cheng gave the child a homemade pill and an injection of antibiotics. After the child's condition stabilized, he immediately asked several doctors to set up the ward and perform a thoracentesis and drainage operation on the child using the existing equipment...
An expert will know if there is one as soon as he takes action.
Seeing Lu Cheng skillfully completing various surgical operations, the three doctors in the health center were stunned. Even when they were studying at the county hospital, they had never seen a doctor of Lu Cheng's level.
After confirming Lu Cheng's level, the three doctors quietly started to work and cooperated with Lu Cheng in all his operations.
After half an hour of work, the operation was completed and the child's condition began to stabilize...
