Chapter 341: Preemptive Strike

nd got out of bed. She put on a robe before going to the living room, just in time to see Driver Xiao Wang help Zhang Yongcheng, who had had quite a bit to drink, walk in."How did you drink so much"Li...Lián Yī listened and smiled knowingly, then said to Zhào Jǐngchéng:

"You brought the rabbit at just the right time. It's ready to be stewed. We can send it over to the wounded and take a look at Captain Zhao, too. After all, he’s taken good care of us young intellectuals here."

"Then I'll process the rabbit for you, and I'll tan the skin for you before sending it back."

Zhao Jingcheng proposed.

"Okay, thanks. I'll go get the female classmates to help."

With a ripple, she handed the rabbit back to the other person and then turned to go to the room of the female educated youth.

Actually, everyone in the house heard the conversation between the two. So after Ripple entered, the two had already put on their outer robes, wrapped scarves around their heads, and went to the kitchen with Ripple.

When Zhao Jingcheng brought the processed rabbit meat, the three of them began to build a fire for soup and make flatbreads, preparing to send meals to the wounded. At least they should show some care.

The male educated youths also heard, and each brought a bowl of coarse grain, as a gesture of goodwill from everyone. After all, the rabbit meat was gifted by Lian Yi, they had already benefited greatly from it.

When the rabbit meat was stewed, it was divided into two earthenware pots. Four young men were selected as representatives by the young intellectuals and they rented a bullock cart from the village to rush to town.

On the way, everyone was silent, each lost in their own thoughts. Old Zhao, who drove them, was always a man of few words and remained tight-lipped throughout the journey. In silence, they arrived at the town's clinic.

Liàn Yī picked up a bowl of stewed rabbit meat and a piece of bread, and said to Wáng Xiùfēn:

"Sister Xiufen, let's split up! You go with Zhang Qiang to see classmate Chen, and I'll go with Sun Sheng to visit the captain. This soup will get cold on the way, it won't be as tasty when it's cold."

"Okay, no problem. Since we're on the same floor anyway, just come over after you deliver it."

Wang Xiufen also reminded her, afraid that Captain Zhao would cause her trouble.

"Okay, no problem!"

The two of them parted ways on the second floor of the hospital, going to different wards left and right.

When ripples and Sun Sheng entered Zhao Fudou's ward, there were quite a few people inside. It was a six-bed room, with patients on every bed. Zhao Fudou was in the position closest to the inside, seemingly asleep, unaffected by the surrounding noise.

Before the two people could even enter Zhao Fendou's bed, a young nurse went over and adjusted his IV bag, then hung up a new one.

"Hello nurse, this is the head of our village commune. We'd like to know about his current condition"

Are you his children

The nurse looked at the refined-looking couple before her and asked directly.

No, we are young intellectuals sent from the countryside to visit the captain.

Ripple smiled and gave the little nurse two small rabbit-shaped lollipops.

"It seems like you villagers and the educated youths get along quite well."

"Yes! Captain Zhao takes good care of us usually. We stewed some meat for him to bring over, so he can have something warm to eat."

The ripples raised the water jar in her hand.

The nurse nodded, then said seriously:

“He’s elderly and, with his blood pressure elevated due to stress, he fainted. We gave him medication to lower his blood pressure and are now administering glucose. He needs to rest and avoid drastic emotional swings. If this high blood pressure persists, a stroke is very likely.”

"Okay, we got it. We'll have him control his emotions."

Ripple smiled and said.

After the nurse left, she put the braised rabbit meat she brought on the small table beside her bed. She picked up the hot water bottle and shook it, finding it empty. Just as she was about to go fetch some water, she was intercepted by Sun Sheng who took the hot water bottle from her.

"I'm going to get some water. Wait here for a moment."

The ripples nodded, then turned their back to the others and sat on a wooden stool at the head of Zhao's bed.

She gently nudged Captain Zhao, who slowly opened his eyes. After seeing who it was, a hint of barely perceptible hatred flashed in his eyes as he spoke in an unfriendly tone:

"What are you doing here"

"On behalf of the educated youths, I came to visit Captain Zhao and hope you take care of your health. People die and can't come back to life. You still have a wife and young son at home!"

Ringlets said in a flat tone.

Captain Zhao seemed to have been stimulated by something, and suddenly sat up. As a result of sitting up too suddenly, and his blood pressure hadn't fully stabilized yet, he went black in the eyes and lay back down again.

"I just asked the nurse, she said you need to control your emotions. If you keep getting so excited and upset, your blood pressure will go up again, which is bad for your health. After all, Zhao Zhuanzi's body is still waiting for you to take care of it!"

Ripples sensed Zhao Fudong's hatred for her and relentlessly poked at his wounds.

"I'll wait for you to come back and I won't kill you!"

Captain Zhao lowered his voice and said to Lianyi with a ferocious expression.

Ripple, after hearing this, smiled slightly and immediately got up. Standing at the head of the bed, she looked down from her height. She took out a threaded embroidery needle from her thick olive green jacket and said with a faint smile:

"That also depends on you having that opportunity."

Immediately, he thrust the embroidery needle from the top of his head. The other person's body twitched and then their eyes became bloodshot as they fainted.

The ripple directly pulled on the thread end, pulling the embroidery needle out from the top of the other person's head and back into their sleeve. The whole thing took just about thirty seconds. Then, she nonchalantly patted the covers for the other person, right as Sun Sheng came back with hot water ready.

"Wu Tongxue, is the captain awake"

"No, he's probably just exhausted and slept very soundly. He didn't even wake up to such a loud noise."

Ripples said and glanced around.

It was just about lunchtime, with people coming to deliver meals and visit the sick. The six rooms were bustling with activity, so no one noticed the interaction between Lian Yi and Captain Zhao just now.

Then shall we wait any longer

"Let's leave our things here and tell the nurse. Then, let's go see Chen Jia Shu first!"

Ripple proposed.

Ok, I'll do it!

Immediately, the two went out and found the nurse they had just met. After saying a few words, the nurse readily agreed.

"It's fine, he had a spike in blood pressure, so the doctor gave him some calming medication to stabilize his mood. Besides, sleep is the best way for people to recover, and you were right not to wake him up."

Then, please trouble the nurse.

After the two men finished their accounts, they went to the other side's eight-person room. Besides Chen Jiashu, there were also people who had been injured by a black bear, with Chen Jiashu being the most seriously injured.

In Chen Jia Shu's tragic past life, he did not participate in this collective activity of the commune because he had abandoned his original self. His original self could only marry Zhao Zhuanzi, and Zhao Zhuanzi also kept his promise, giving Pan Nuannuan the agreed-upon rations as payment.

While Pan Nuannuan had long set her sights on the genteel Chen Jiashu, Chen Jiashu, although deprived of his original support, found himself with another benefactor in Pan Nuannuan. The two hit it off immediately and became close friends, understanding each other implicitly. He received financial support from Pan Nuannuan, ensuring he never went hungry, and had absolutely no reason to risk participating in hunts.

But in this lifetime, ripples simply won't pay attention to this scumbag. She has no way to kill him, and that's also because the other party hasn't made a move against her.

On the other hand, Pan Nuannuan's plan wasn't going smoothly either. Zhao Shuanzi had also disappeared, which meant no one was giving him food rations anymore. He had to work for himself, and in the end, he was bitten by a black bear and lost a leg.d and she suddenly spoke:"The true heir of this world's fortune is Duan Lianyi. She chose Zhang Xuetao and supported him all the way to the top, but without the original body's blessings, Zhang Xuetao...
