Chapter 105 News
“Ning Baogai…”

Patting her shoulder reassuringly, Su Ning got up and went to the spot where the Luo family father and son were lying side by side not far away.

Neither of them had regained consciousness yet. Their pale faces, already flushed from the rain, were now flushed to varying degrees, and unsurprisingly, their hands were burning hot.

Fortunately, after the wound was wiped with spring water, there were no signs of infection.

"Girl, did you treat their injuries?"

Old Ge, who had already finished checking everyone, squatted down beside her with a solemn expression.

The injuries on the group looked frightening, but they were alive and would regain consciousness after a few injections.

That's where the problem lies.

Based on his many years of medical experience, even if he were present at the time, he would have had little confidence in saving the two people from the brink of death, given their injuries.

So he was really curious about who did what to save these people who should have died long ago.

"Yes, I don't know anything about medical care and treatment. I can only rely on the first aid theory that my older brother taught me. Did I do something wrong?"

"No, you did a great job."

Old Ge shook his head, skillfully took out a slender silver needle from his needle case, and without hesitation, accurately located each acupoint through his clothes and quickly and steadily inserted it.

"The old man is just curious, what did you feed them? I checked everyone's pulse..."

Whether out of concern or because he needed to concentrate on his subordinates' actions, Old Man Ge didn't continue speaking.

Only after he had finished giving acupuncture to both of them did he look intently at her.

"Have."

Without flinching, Su Ning readily nodded in acknowledgment, then took out her empty water bottle, untied it, and handed it to him. "It's a secret medicine passed down through my Su family. I dissolved it in water and gave some to everyone to drink."

"Oh? A secret medicine? What are its specific effects?"

As if he had received a treasure, Old Ge's eyes lit up as he immediately took the kettle, eagerly opened the lid, and brought it close to his nose to smell it.

He couldn't quite smell the other ingredients at first glance, but he immediately recognized the unique scent of wild ginseng.

This wild ginseng... seems to be quite old?
"It can quickly stabilize injuries and accelerate wound healing."

"No wonder, they're just lucky."

The efficacy of something that can be called a secret medicine is self-evident.

Since it was a family heirloom, further questioning would be tantamount to stealing the recipe. Once the reason was cleared up and the doubts were resolved, Old Man Ge stopped mentioning the medicine, only sighing in his heart that these people's good fortune and fate were not meant to end.

"Old Qu!"

"Hey old man Ge, what's wrong?"

"Have the young men get to work and carry them back quickly. If they get soaked in the rain any longer, no amount of medicine will be enough to save them. Oh, and the silver needles..."

"We know, we know, don't touch the silver needles, do you hear me? What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and carry him back to the team."

Upon hearing this, the young and strong men tacitly formed groups of three or four, carefully lifting one of the items, placing it on a stretcher, and then covering it with something that could barely keep out the rain, and slowly but quickly made their way back to the group.

A group of people came and went in a hurry.

Just as Su Ning and his companion followed the main group, they arrived at the Sixth Production Brigade of Baiyang Commune once again.

As time passed, the families who had been waiting in vain for their loved ones were growing increasingly anxious.

……

Luohu Brigade, Yan Family.

The food prepared on the table, timed precisely, had long since gone cold. The few people sitting in the room remained silent, the atmosphere so heavy and oppressive that it made it difficult to breathe.

With a whoosh, Yan Xi stood up and couldn't help but grab the raincoat by the door, put it on, and was about to walk out. "Mother, I'll go ask again. If all else fails, I'll go to town."

"Okay, how about letting the two little lantern brothers keep you company?"

"No need, those two kids have short legs, let them stay at home so they don't get in the way!"

After saying that, he stepped into the rain without looking back, and disappeared into the heavy rain in just a few breaths.

When he arrived at the brigade office, he found that two or three families who had not yet returned home were squatting in a group with long faces.

"Captain..."

"Xizi, don't worry, don't worry. We've already contacted the commune, and they're helping us inquire with the city's bus transport team. Just wait patiently, okay!"

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi grabbed two handfuls of her short hair and took a few heavy breaths. The suffocating worry and anxiety in her chest felt like it was about to explode.

Mingming received a special call from his sister before he left that morning, and the two siblings had arranged a time for her to pick them up.

They waited in town for two or three hours, but not only did they not arrive, they also did not see the bus.

He had a vague feeling of unease at the time, but there was no reason for him to think the worst. He wondered if his brother-in-law's job, given its nature, might have come up with an emergency and caused him to cancel his plans to return.

With this mindset, he returned to the team, found the contact number he had written down, and nervously dialed his brother-in-law's office for the first time.

The person on duty there told him that two major events had indeed occurred in Gushi, but they hadn't been able to find anyone. They were about to call him to ask if the top leader was in Luohu.

Upon hearing this, Yan Xi knew perfectly well that her brother-in-law and his family had indeed set off for Luohu, but there had been no news of them whatsoever!

I returned home with weak legs, and waited absentmindedly for more than an hour. I couldn't sit still any longer and came here to find out more information, since this was the only place in the team with a telephone to contact the outside world.

"Hello? Comrade, this is the Luohu Traffic Police Brigade. What did you say?"

The captain who answered the phone widened his eyes and jumped up, knocking over the chair behind him.

The noise caused the people waiting inside and outside to stand up and gather around, nervously rubbing their hands, afraid of hearing some bad news.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, comrade. Please call again if you have any further news. Thank you, thank you."

"Captain!"

The captain hung up the phone with a solemn expression. He looked at the familiar faces and moved his lips, but the words seemed to weigh a ton and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

"Captain, say something!"

"Yes, yes, what happened? I just came back from town, and not only the bus that left from Gushi this morning, but all the other buses on the same route haven't arrived yet!"

"Captain..."

"Alright, stop arguing. The bus crashed near Qingshan County."

"boom--"

The captain's words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, making everyone present's ears ring and causing them to temporarily lose their hearing.

"what?"

"Ah, my son! Stone, stone..."

"Impossible, impossible, how could this be!"

She gasped in disbelief, then burst into tears, the sudden news nearly lifting the roof off the entire office.

Yan Xi rushed forward and grabbed the captain's hand, his eyes red and his lips trembling as he asked in a trembling voice, "Captain... Captain, are you sure, are you sure it's that bus route?"

"Yes, there were three or four trips from Gushi. Which one was it?"

The relatives and family members present, upon hearing Yan Xi's words, still held a sliver of hope and stopped what they were doing to look at the captain.

"They said it was the earliest class."

Suddenly, some were overjoyed while others were saddened.

Yan Xi covered his face, large tears streaming down his face. The man, who had always taught his son not to cry but to bleed, could no longer hold back and squatted down to cry.

That was his only younger sister; the whole family consisted of four!

How could Old Yan possibly face his in-laws?

"Hello, yes, this is the comrade from the Luohu Brigade. Who did you say?"

The captain, who was also feeling uneasy, heard the phone ring on his desk, composed himself, and picked up the phone.

When he heard the names spoken by the person on the other end of the phone, he wrote them down one by one with trembling hands, thanked them repeatedly, and then hung up.

"Xizi, Da Xizi!"

Seeing the person hiding and still covering his face, crying loudly, the captain strode forward and slapped him hard on the back.

"Xizi, your sister and her family are alright!"

"what?"

Ignoring the large snot bubbles coming from her nose, Yan Xi stood up dizzily and looked straight at him, "Captain, what did you just say?"

"I told you your sister and her family are fine! A young man from Yuanxian Hospital just called, saying that Shuangshuang's friend specifically asked him to let everyone know she's safe and to also inform Xiang Lei's family!"

"Are you alright? Really alright? Are you sure all four of them are okay?!"

"I'm here, Captain. You just said you were going to notify Xiang Lei's family. What happened to my Shitou?"

The couple, who had been weeping bitterly, heard their son's name and that Yan Xin and his family were alright, and a glimmer of hope rose in their hearts again.

"Your son, Shitou, broke his leg and injured his shoulder, but thankfully he survived. He's in Yuanxian Hospital now. Hurry up and pack some clothes, money, and other necessities to go to the hospital!"

"Dad, did you hear that? Stone, Stone is still alive..."

"Quick, let's go home first!"
