Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 460 Another accident
Leader Hao organized countless people to check the traffic on Changan Street and the square during that time. Imagine the workload in an era without surveillance. But in the end, nothing was found. It was only by chance that we figured it out. It turned out to be another accident.”

The son of a certain leader, who was still a child, lived in the courtyard northwest of the DA Hall. He thought the birds in the courtyard were too noisy and kept making noises, so he took out a gun from home to shoot the birds. A stray bullet hit the DA Hall. Even so, Leader Hao was still bullied. In just two months, he had two accidents. If it weren't for his meritorious service in donating the gliding suit, he might have been punished.

"There have been quite a few problems this year. Our leaders usually take good care of us, but even Leader Hao got frustrated this time, so you have to keep your case low-key. If your affairs are exposed, we are worried that the higher-ups will get angry and replace Hao all of a sudden."

"You are still worried about this. I have already told you that as for the gun you mentioned, I think it is better for the leader to keep it. Maybe he will need it on a mission someday. There are only two of them, so I won't use them."

Zhu Xuefeng knew very well that there was no free lunch, especially for weapons like this. Uncle Kong must be up to some bad idea and took his gun. If there was such a mission, you could either come or not. It would be better not to do it. His sniper rifle was not much different except for the scope and range, in terms of usage environment and maintenance.

"You really don't want it. This is something you can only encounter once in a while. Even if you make another contribution next time, you might lose the gun."

The more Lao Kong tried to sell it, the less Zhu Xuefeng wanted it. "Such a good thing should be left to the people who need it the most. It will be of the greatest use when it is most needed. It would be a waste for me to keep it."

Although Zhu Xuefeng had no idea what Uncle Kong was up to, he was very cautious and refused to accept the challenge. Uncle Kong did not force him, but recalled the unpleasant experiences of the past few months and asked.

"By the way, Xiaofeng, what impression do you college students have of Damao now? Where do you think our relationship will go in the future? It's okay, let's just chat."

"Well, since the termination of project cooperation, the withdrawal of experts and the forcing of us to return the aid, many students' impressions of this country have changed a lot. In my opinion, the aid back then did play a significant role in promoting our country's rapid transformation from an agricultural country to an industrial country. They were the only country in the world that could do that. We did have a complete industrial system in less than ten years."

"But we should also see the essence behind things. Just like in the War of Nations, they provided equipment and pilots. On the surface, they supported us, but on a deeper level, they wanted to use us to hold back the bald eagle so that the bald eagle would be unable to compete with them for interests in Europe."

"You said it very sharply!" No one had ever expressed this view to Uncle Kong.

"That's how it is. This nation is inherently greedy for territory. If they really respected us, they should have returned the territory they have occupied for hundreds of years. I personally think that what you experienced in the first half of the year (original chapter 444, failed to pass the review, the content has been deleted) is just an episode. There will definitely be greater friction between the two countries in the future. Don't think that being in the same camp means we are comrades. In their eyes, we are just little brothers and should be obedient. If we don't obey, they will beat you up."

"It can't be that sharp, right? Last year when we were in food shortage, they donated a million tons of food, which was a big help."

"Uncle Kong, what I said may not sound good, but this is my true opinion. Since they are younger brothers and can show their prowess on the battlefield of all nations, of course we should win them over. But this kind of arrogance is engraved in their bones. Only the Mongols in the past made them surrender. So, if we want to truly change the relationship between the two countries, we must wait until the day we become stronger. Maybe one day we will be stronger than them, and the relationship will completely change."

Uncle Kong looked at Zhu Xuefeng and muttered for a long time before speaking, "Maybe you are right. I really felt their arrogance this time, but it is too difficult to be stronger than them. Their country is rich in resources, advanced in technology, developed in military, and their territory is more than twice ours. We only have a larger population than them, so many mouths to feed. It is too difficult."

Zhu Xuefeng laughed. In this day and age, it would be a fantasy for anyone to say that they wanted to surpass Russia. Even the bald eagle wouldn't dare to do that. The mere mention of 40,000 tanks would scare anyone to death, and they claimed that they could produce 10,000 tanks every year.

If anyone talks about the demographic dividend, Principal Ma will probably stand up. There is no time to talk about the history of national development and the glory of our ancestors, Zhu Xuefeng said affirmatively.

“Man can conquer nature. Even if the only thing we have is a large population, the rise of our country will be unstoppable. One day we will be back to the top of the world. At that time, the current big brother, hehe…”

Lao Kong also laughed, "You are really bold, don't spread these words out. Now the two sides are quite tense, and some people think that we may fight. For this, they were criticized, so you should keep these thoughts to yourself, especially your school always likes to hold debates, so don't get involved."

Zhu Xuefeng left, taking with him Lao Kong's instructions. He felt Lao Kong's care and love. Although Lao Kong always tried to trick him, generally speaking, it was all for his own good. Zhu Xuefeng still remembered this good thing.

The year 1962 was destined to be an uneasy year. Gao Bo had just returned to the compound after get off work at the steel rolling mill and had not had time to eat when he rushed into the yard like a madman.

"Brother Feng, Brother Feng, something happened. It really happened."

"What's the matter? If you have something to say, take your time. Will being anxious help?"

After a long and anxious description, Gao Bo finally understood that Song Tangyun had been in an accident. She had been in a car accident and was unconscious. She had been sent to the First Hospital for emergency treatment. Also in the accident was Gao Bo's girlfriend, who was also seriously injured and unconscious and was being rescued.

"what happened?"

"I can't really explain it. Xiaoying asked me to go to the movies with them after dinner. We agreed to meet at the North Street of Donghuangcheng. I ran there, but because the weather was too hot, I bought some popsicles and went a little late."

"But who knew that when I got there, the ground was covered with blood, but I couldn't see them. It was only when people nearby said that two girls were hit by a car and the car ran away that they helped report the case. I was stunned and rushed to the hospital. The nurse in the operating room said that it was them and they were contacting their family members..."

"Don't worry. Since he has been sent to the hospital, he should still be able to be saved. What kind of car was it? What's the license plate number? Did the person who caused the accident see it clearly?
Gao Bo was anxious again. "Brother Feng, it's not that. The nurse said that both of them might not be saved. I didn't have time to find out about this. I quickly went to their house to report the news. When I got there, the neighbors said that both families had received the notice and rushed to the hospital."

"Then what do you mean?" Zhu Xuefeng was also confused.

"Brother Feng, don't you have healing medicine? Save him, of course we need to save him. Now the hospital says they can't save him, so we have to find a way ourselves. Your medicine is so magical, it will definitely work."

The injury is so serious, with broken bones and muscles, this kind of medicine that can only heal the wound is not effective. This medicine can repair some injuries, but it is not a panacea, external injuries...

"I'll go with you. Don't hold your hopes too high. This medicine is effective in treating external injuries, but to bring the dead back to life, I'm not a god, and this is not a magic medicine. Before I make a statement, you can't tell anyone about this, understand."

Gao Bo knew that he had lost his composure just now, but there was nothing he could do and he had to try any possible means.

"If Master Yang and the others were still here, there might be a way. They are better at treating external injuries. What a pity."

When the two arrived at the hospital, there were quite a few people gathered outside the emergency room. The operation had not yet ended, but the parents of the two had already arrived. They all knew each other. After more than half a year, no matter how Gao Bo hid, he still became familiar to them.

"Xiao Gao, you also got the news..."

The one who stood up was Gao Bo's girlfriend's father. He held Gao Bo's hand and said, "I know everything about you and Xiaoying. Xiaoying is a good kid. She told us everything..."

"Uncle Yang, how are Xiaoying and the others now? What did the doctor say?" Uncle Yang shook his head. "They are still trying to save them. A lot of blood was urgently transferred in. They said it was from the head, chest, and legs. My poor daughter..."

It looks like a blood transfusion is needed. Uncle Yang can no longer speak, tears streaming down his face. Another man stood up and said, "I am Song Tangyun's father. Xiaoyun told me about you and said that you helped her a lot. Now the situation of both of them is not optimistic..."

They couldn't continue talking. The two mothers had already lost consciousness and just stared stupidly at the door of the emergency room.

Looking at the police waiting on the side, who were probably going to get a confession from the victim, Zhu Xuefeng pulled the dazed Gao Bo over and whispered a few words to him. After a while, Gao Bo came back.

"Uncle Yang said that the car that caused the accident was a Jim car, and the license plate number was also reported by the public. Now the police are looking for the perpetrator."

It must be a license plate number. There aren't many small cars in Beijing now. But, a Jim car? It can't be such a coincidence.

Zhu Xuefeng could only wait with Gao Bo outside the emergency room. Many people on the street, patients and medical staff came to inquire about the situation. They all felt sorry for the two little girls and hated the man who had hit someone and ran away.

"I've seen the girl surnamed Song. She's so pretty. But if she were rescued, she would be disabled. How could this driver be so cruel..."

"Who said they weren't? I saw them when they were brought in. Both girls are pretty. This driver is really hateful..."

No matter how much everyone expected or hated it, when the door of the emergency room opened in the second half of the night and a doctor bowed his head and apologized heavily, shrill cries broke out at the door of the emergency room, which broke people's hearts. It was Gao Bo's partner who was pushed out.

"The doctor said that they have tried their best. The patient has brain injuries, internal bleeding, intracranial hemorrhage, and multiple fractures. They have now performed bleeding control and corrective surgery, but the patient remains in a coma and has not woken up once. The situation is not ideal. There is no other way now. We can only wait for her to wake up on her own."

Zhu Xuefeng whispered the news he had just heard to Gao Bo, who was helping to support his target's mother.

"It's all my fault. I wish I had arrived earlier."

Gao Bo squatted down, feeling extremely regretful. Zhu Xuefeng squatted down with him and comforted him in a low voice.

"No one wants this to happen. There's no point in dwelling on it after it's happened. We're still alive and there's still hope."

"Brother, what did you say? You said there is hope? There is hope, right?"

Gao Bo held Zhu Xuefeng's hand tightly and asked excitedly.

"Even if your partner is rescued, he will be disabled and may even become a fool. Are you still willing?"

"Of course I do, we agreed on that..." Gao Bo probably recalled the good times and couldn't help choking up.

Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to stroke Gao Bo's back.

"Don't be sad, man, stand up. There is still hope. The injured can breathe on their own, they are just asleep. Didn't the doctor say that there is hope once they wake up?"

"That means there is no hope if she can't wake up. Senior brother, do you have any solution? I beg you, Xiaoying..."

Gao Bo's emotions were fluctuating greatly. He was a little impatient and couldn't help but shout out in a low voice. Fortunately, no one noticed.

The patient had been wheeled away and had to be observed in the ward. Many of the onlookers had dispersed as the bed was wheeled away. "You can go over there first and help if you need anything. I'll wait here for a while."

Song Tangyun hasn't come out yet, so they have to take a look at the specific situation, otherwise it will be difficult to explain to Xia Yuhong when she comes back. After about half an hour, Song Tangyun was also pushed out. The two of them were exactly the same. Song Tangyun's mother collapsed again. The two police officers had no choice but to take the injury diagnosis report back to report. It seems that the confession cannot be obtained for a while.

Zhu Xuefeng has visited them. Both of them have blood clots in their skulls that are compressing the brain nerves. Although their vital signs are weak, they are generally stable. After all, they are young people and they exercise regularly, so their physical fitness is still good. Yang Ying has a high chance of surviving. Song Tangyun was more seriously injured, so it will be a bit difficult for him. However, they should not be in great danger in the short term. It would be very serious if they don't wake up for a long time. At best, they will be a vegetable, or slowly die.

Following the bed to the ward, the two were placed in the same ward. Yang Ying had already started receiving an infusion, but her mother was not yet awake.

“Brother Feng, Brother Feng…” Gao Bo looked begging, and Zhu Xuefeng was also helpless.

"I'm not a doctor. That thing is used by martial artists. I know that, but you have to listen to me. If you keep yelling, I won't care.

There was another noise in the ward, and the ward, which had just been quiet for a while, became chaotic again. The two hurried over and found out that it was Song Tangyun's mother who saw her daughter who was wrapped up like a dumpling but couldn't open her eyes. She felt a pain in her heart and couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

When everyone here helped to support Song Tangyun's mother, Yang Ying's mother woke up but fell down again.

The accompanying doctor quickly gave the two a simple check-up and said, "The two women are too sad. Send them over for a check-up immediately to prevent any new problems. Are there any family members here? Send two people to accompany them. Someone should also stay here to monitor the patient's condition at all times."

Both fathers were in a dilemma, with their lover on one side and their daughter on the other. Suddenly they saw Gao Bo standing at the door.

"Xiao Gao, can you help look after Xiao Ying? I have to..."

Facing Yang Ying's father's request, Gao Bo naturally agreed without hesitation, "You go ahead, I'll watch over here."
