Chapter 337: Self-Directed and Self-Acted

rinks plenty. Maybe that will help her recover.""Five Elders, thank you for your help. I've got it."Joe the Second said he would try to figure it out."Nephew, don't torment her this time. If something...The villagers knew that the educated youths were slow, so they wouldn't compete with them for firewood during the winter. They deliberately avoided their discovered firewood spots.

Qian Jian Guo, the point man for the educated youths, frowned, looking a bit unhappy. He directly told the few male educated youths around him to search for Pan Nuan Nuan nearby. Right now, Wu Lian Yi was unconscious and they still didn't know what was going on.

The villagers all dispersed to help look for Pan Nuannuan. At this time, Captain Zhao also arrived. He was still wearing a set of tattered clothes, with a blackened tobacco pipe at his waist and hands behind his back, he met the young people who had come out from the mountains.

What's going on Picking up firewood can even lead to a human life being taken

Clearly displeased.

Qian Jianguo was also a little unhappy and his voice became a bit louder:

"Captain Zhao, classmate Wu was injured in the back of the head and is still unconscious. Pan Nuannuan who was with her has also disappeared. If something truly happened to them, would the Red Flag Brigade still be considered an outstanding commune"

Team Leader Zhao's face changed, but he also knew the other party was telling the truth. He mumbled:

"You young revolutionaries have so much to do, let Grandpa Sun take a look at the situation before saying anything."

It was only then that Chen Jia Shu, gasping for breath, ran over. Seeing Ripples lying on Zhao Jingcheng's back, his face immediately turned cold. He took two steps forward and reached out directly, wanting to take Ripples away:

"I'll take it!"

When Zhao Jingcheng's thumb grazed his carotid artery through the ripples, he immediately dodged.

"No need, Wu Zhiqing hurt his head. It's better not to make any rash moves."

"It's just a few steps away, let's go back and talk about it later."

Qian Jian Guo knew Chen Jia Shu's intentions, but now was not the time for jealousy. He directly rejected the other party's proposal. Mainly because of Chen Jia Shu's height and build, as well as his usual frail appearance, he was worried that the other party would accidentally injure the wounded, making things worse.

Chen JiaShu was defeated, he could only silently follow Zhao JingCheng back to the educated youth point. At this time, Old Sun was also carried over by another educated youth. Everyone waited outside the door. Wang XiuFen, Zheng Xin, Qian JianGuo, Old Sun, plus Chen JiaShu who insisted on squeezing in, filled the female educated youth's residence to the brim.

Old Sun was the village's barefoot doctor. He could treat headaches, fevers, and sprains, but he wasn't skilled enough to treat brain ailments. However, he could wake someone up. He took out a silver needle, heated it over a fire, and then stuck it into Lian Yi's upper palate.

After a moment, ripples pretended to come back to life, her eyes still a little hazy. Then she let out a hiss and raised her hand to touch the back of her head.

"Ripple, don't move first. You hit your head, how are you now"

Wang Xiufen took a step forward, grasped Lianyi's hand, and asked in a soft voice.

"I feel dizzy, like the ceiling is spinning."

Ripples frowned and said something, then closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them again, looked around, and found herself back in the dormitory of the educated youth point. Then she spoke:

"Where is Pan Nuannuan"

She is not here.

Jian Guo Qian said.

"Brother Qian, I was pushed down by Pan Nuannuan!"

What

"Huh"

"Why"

Three voices almost sounded at the same time, seeming somewhat surprised. Wu Lianyi's injury was not an accident but intentional.

"I don't know either, she's my best friend after all."

Ripple said sadly.

"Are you sure it's her"

Qian Jian Guo still asked a question.

"Hmm!"

Immediately, ripples loosened the right hand that had been clenched into a fist. Inside was a broken red string with a small pearl the size of a thumbprint strung on it. The red string was very worn, clearly having been worn for a long time.

"This belongs to Pan Nuannuan. She always wears it on her wrist and has never taken it off."

Zheng Xin recognized it at a glance, because this pearl was the most valuable thing on Pan Nuan Nuan's whole body.

"Yes, I've seen her wear it too."

Then Chan Ka-shui chimed in, saying he had actually seen it himself, and the other party had deliberately shown off.

"Brother Qian, you should report this to the police! She's so vicious. Since she's turned against her revolutionary comrades, it's all because I didn't lend her food"

Ripple said sorrowfully.

His face immediately paled, and he feigned nausea.

Zheng Xin was flustered and brought over a sputum basin. Lian Ri coughed for a long time but couldn't spit anything out, her face even paler, and everyone saw the bloodstain on her pillow.

Old Sun kept silent and low-key as much as possible. He was just a doctor and didn't participate in the communication between the young intellectuals. It was only then that he spoke:

“Don’t let Wu Zhiqing get too excited, she hit her head and will feel dizzy for a few days, it’s normal. This is gauze and hemostatic powder, just apply the medicine to her wound. If you're still worried, go to the town health center.”

After finishing, Old Sun left behind a paper package and a roll of slightly yellowed gauze. Then he looked at Qian Jianguo, his meaning was clear: he wanted to be paid for his consultation.

"Sister Wang, would you mind paying for the medicine first I'm feeling very dizzy right now. I'll get the money back to you later when I feel better."

Rinshi feigned rubbing her temples and said,

"Okay."

Wang Xiufen knew that Lian Yi had money and tickets, but she couldn't just take the hidden things in front of everyone. So she gave Old Sun two cents and sent him away.

Captain Zhao, who was waiting in the yard, learned the ins and outs of the situation from Old Sun. A trace of irony flashed across his face. These young educated youths were starving and couldn't even get enough to eat, yet they were still bickering amongst themselves here. He wasn't going to get involved in this. It was a matter between these young educated youths.

But if the police were involved, it would have an impact on the commune, so he waited in the yard to discuss things with the young people privately and see if they could resolve it themselves.

The house is now filled with educated youths, and everyone was shocked by the news. For a bite to eat, they were willing to harm their own comrades. They never expected that the gentle Pan Nuannuan would be so ruthless.

"Ripple, you should rest and recover first. We better find Pan Nuan Nuan and confront her face to face. She'll definitely give you justice."

Qian Jian Guo was more cautious. He felt this wasn't something Pan Nuannuan would do, but now Lian Yi lay in bed, holding the evidence in her hand. So he came up with a compromise.

"Alright, I'll listen to Big Brother Money. I also want to know, what have I done wrong to her, that she treats me like this"

The ripples tightened the red string in her hand, showing she was willing to face the questions and wasn't afraid at all.

"Xiu Fen, Zheng Xin, the two of you just stay here and take care of Lian Yi. Also, wait for Pan Nuan Nuan to come back. When she gets back, make sure to keep her calm. We'll talk about everything when we get back."

We got it!

Two people took on the task of caring for Lianyi, and only then did the others leave the room. Chen Jia Shu was the last to leave, and he even gave Lianyi a meaningful look before leaving.

When the house fell silent again, Wang Xiufen whispered.

"Ripples, what's going on"

"Sister XiuFen, she really wanted to harm me, but I had been prepared. When I fell, I grabbed her hand as a buffer and avoided hitting my temple when I landed."e received a message from the sect assigning his team a new task.“The meaning of Task Hall is to focus on one thing at a time. Our team has more experience, so we'll take care of all the remote cities...
