Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 21 Passing away
After returning to the dormitory, Li Yancheng turned on the stove, took off his coat, and was about to wash up with the kettle of water on the stove when he heard a burst of shouting in the yard. There were quite a few people there, so needless to say, something must have happened.

He put the kettle back on the stove, closed the stove lid that had just been opened, grabbed the coat draped over the back of a chair, put it on, and walked out of the dormitory.

The security guard had already turned on the lights in the yard. When Li Yancheng walked out of the dormitory, he saw several people pulling and pushing a cart into the yard. There was a person lying on the cart.

From a distance, the person lying on the cart was curled up, like a woman.

Ma Quanhu and Zhou Guotao, who were listening to the radio in the duty dormitory, had already gone to meet them.

After walking out of the dormitory, Li Yancheng closed the door and walked towards the cart.

There were quite a few people coming, more than a dozen men and women, most of them young people, obviously the educated youth. At first glance, there were only two older men, who should be village cadres.

It seems that an educated youth from a certain village is sick or something.

Ok?
Before he got close, Li Yancheng saw a familiar face in the crowd, it was Duan Fengjuan.

At this time, Xiaojuan also saw Brother Dacheng walking by, and ran over with a panicked look on her face.

"Brother Dacheng, please come and have a look. Pingping... Pingping has taken the medicine."

"Drinking medicine? What medicine did she drink?"

As the night grew darker, the temperature outside was getting lower and lower. Li Yancheng walked towards the cart while buttoning his coat. When he heard what Xiaojuan said when she ran over, he was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why he was sent to the health center after taking medicine.

"Rat poison. He must have drunk a lot. All he vomited on the way here was black blood. It was fishy and smelly."

Xiaojuan sounded like she was crying when she spoke.

Although they had conflicts, the conflict between them was not a life-and-death one. Seeing her friend like this, Xiaojuan would of course cry.

Drink rat poison?
Li Yancheng walked to the cart in a flash. Ma Quanhu and Zhou Guotao were checking Pingping's pulse while one was looking at her pupils.

Seeing the girl lying there in an awkward and motionless posture, Li Yancheng's heart sank. How much did she drink and when did she drink it?

After a quick look, he was about to go to the clinic to get some soapy water to induce vomiting and wash the stomach, but as soon as he turned around, he was stopped by Zhou Guotao.

"Yancheng, come and take a look, it seems..."

Well, it seems that his judgment was correct, it should not work.

As soon as Doctor Zhou finished speaking, a middle-aged man who seemed to be a village cadre who came with him fell to the ground and looked at the girl lying on the cart with a dull expression.

Li Yancheng took the flashlight from the young man who was delivering the message, walked forward and pried open the eyes of the girl lying on the cart. Under the light, the already dilated pupils showed no signs of shrinking. He then touched the carotid artery at her neck, but could not feel anything at all.

Ma Quanhu, who had been taking Li Yancheng's pulse at this time, sighed and withdrew his hand. He turned to look at Li Yancheng and shook his head helplessly.

If this situation were brought to a large hospital with complete equipment, perhaps they could try to rescue the patient, but in a place where they lack this and that, it can be said that the patient is completely hopeless.

After signaling to Li Yancheng, Ma Quanhu turned and looked at the middle-aged man who was still standing there with an anxious look on his face.

"Old Sun, go find some police officers from the town police station." His words announced that the girl lying there was completely beyond saving. Although the young men and women who brought her here had thought of this possibility on the way here, they still couldn't help sobbing, and several women even hugged each other and cried bitterly.

At this moment, no matter whether the relationship was good or bad before, everyone was crying for the passing of a young life and why she ended her short life in this way.

It is really sad to see a flower that is just about to bloom withering away like this.

The police officer on duty at the police station came over quickly. No matter whether it was suicide, death, or educated youth, it had to be reported.

The town’s on-duty leader also came.

The middle-aged man who was called Lao Sun by Ma Quanhu just now looked like a bereaved family member.

He is the village chief of Tangzhishan Village. No matter what the reason, the educated youth in their village committed suicide. As the village chief, he cannot escape the blame.

The middle-aged man who just fell to the ground was the village accountant. After the police officer on duty came over and asked a few simple questions, he asked the temporary workers who came with him to take the accountant to the police station.

The reason is very simple. Pingping had suspected that she was pregnant before. Although she was not pregnant in the end, it also showed that she had a close friend of the opposite sex, and this friend of the opposite sex was the accountant named Chang.

She has always done a good job of keeping secrets. Even the other girls in her dormitory, including Xiaojuan, don't know who the man is.

Pingping committed suicide today and left a suicide note at the scene, which revealed the true face of this man.

Strictly speaking, if Pingping really committed suicide, and if Accountant Chang didn't use any dirty tricks to force her when they were together before, then he really couldn't be held responsible.

Because although Accountant Chang is old enough to be Pingping's father, he is a widower and Pingping is already an adult.

From a legal perspective, Accountant Chang is now allowed to date any woman, as long as he is not dating several women at the same time. After all, love is free.

It was such a hassle that three hours passed by the time everyone dispersed.

The body was pulled back again. Early tomorrow morning, the town will send an urgent telegram to Pingping's family, asking her parents to come and deal with the child's funeral. Fortunately, it is winter now and the temperature is low, so it won't be a problem if it is kept for a few days.

I believe that in a few days, everything about this girl will completely disappear from this world. What she will leave behind, apart from the pain of her parents losing their child, will be just some topics for people to talk about after dinner in the streets.

Li Yancheng, Zhou Guotao and Ma Quanhu stood at the gate of the health center, watching the backs of the educated youth pulling the carts farther and farther away, and sighed at the same time.

Doctor Ma took out a cigarette and gave one to each of the other two people, then lit it with the torch in Lao Zhou's hand.

"Alas...what do you think she wants? Even if she really wants to date someone, she should find someone of the same age.

After graduating from high school, I am an intellectual after all. My stay in the countryside is just temporary. Sooner or later, I will go back to find a job. Why would I look for a partner in the countryside? Now I have gotten myself into trouble."

Lao Ma's tone was full of regret. What happened today taught both him and Lao Zhou a lesson because they also had daughters.

The girl’s experience made them think of their own daughters involuntarily, and they worried that their daughters would meet the wrong person in the future.
