Courtyard House: Starting as an engineer, crushing a yard full of poultry

However, no one told her about the current situation, which made Lou Xiao'e somewhat uneasy, and she also wanted to go out and look for them.

Instead, they were at Li Xiangdong's home.

Li Xiangdong also roughly knew what had happened.

This morning, Lou Xiao'e rushed out in a hurry, only to be brought back by the director of the film studio.

Li Xiangdong immediately guessed the reason.

Furthermore, considering that the Liu family father and son only hurriedly returned to the courtyard at 2 a.m. the night before, this was also mentioned.

He was caught red-handed by Yan Bugui.

He also gave Yan Bugui some hush money. From these clues, Li Xiangdong had already sorted out a very clear line of thought.

That is, Liu Haizhong and his son wanted to retaliate against Xu Damao.

While Xu Damao was at the movie screening, they tampered with the film on his way back.

Logically speaking, Xu Damao should have returned by now, unless something else unexpected happened overnight.

That's why they haven't returned yet.

However, I cannot disclose this information yet; it's not the right time to discuss 2.1.

Now that I've spoken out, I have no evidence, and it will only put me in an awkward position.

All I can say is that it will take some more time, at least until Xu Damao returns to the courtyard.

Only then can they reveal a little bit of what they know, letting them fight like dogs and spew nonsense.

Soon, a day passed.

The factory manager also rushed to the courtyard and hurried to Lou Xiao'e's home.

“Miss Lou, don’t worry. Our people have been searching for a day but haven’t found any clues about Xu Damao. But let’s look on the bright side. Maybe Xu Damao just wanted to go somewhere else to have some fun and that’s why he hasn’t come back for two or three days.”

The factory manager could only resort to such a clumsy lie to appease Lou Xiao'e's emotions.

Isn't this also a way of comforting oneself, that restless heart?

All that could be heard was Lou Xiao'e's sobbing.

Chapter 142 People from the Hospital

Having no other option, the factory manager offered a few words of comfort but could only leave the courtyard.

Even late at night, they couldn't find peace, so they sent people to look for Xu Damao.

Liu Haizhong and his son witnessed everything that happened today, which terrified them.

They originally just wanted to retaliate against Xu Damao, but three days have already passed.

Xu Damao did not appear in the courtyard for three days, which made Liu Haizhong and his son tremble with fear.

What if Xu Damao froze to death in the wilderness that night?

Then, depending on the surrounding circumstances, it's definitely not something I did myself.

If they find some clues and trace it back to themselves, that would be troublesome.

"Dad, what should we do about this? Xu Damao hasn't come back for three days. What if he really freezes to death? If there are any clues that lead back to us, we'll be in deep trouble. Because of him, both of us will be implicated."

Liu Guangqi asked, his heart pounding with fear.

"Judging from their current situation, they must have already sent people to search, but they probably didn't find any clues. Xu Damao was lying alone in the wilderness for a night, and he might have been discovered the next day."

"They didn't find him, so he must have been taken to the hospital. We don't need to worry so much. There are no wolves or tigers in the villages around here, so why be so afraid? Just act normal and don't let others notice anything unusual."

Liu Hai was very nervous, but his mind was also racing.

Based on what I've seen today, plus my own reasonable inferences.

It's highly likely that these people didn't find Xu Damao.

If we can't find this one road, it can only mean that Xu Damao has already been rescued.

Right now, we just don't know where we are.

As long as Xu Damao is alive, this matter will not involve them.

Hearing his father's explanation, Liu Guangqi felt relieved.

This argument is indeed reasonable and well-founded.

However, I was still a little scared.

The inspection team also came in a hurry today; I don't know what they told us.

In short, until this matter is completely resolved, I will always feel a little uneasy.

The father and son also couldn't sleep well at night.

This means that if you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear.

Although the father and son said this, they were still very scared inside.

We can only hope that Xu Damao can survive unharmed; as long as he's alive, everything will be fine.

If they really die, then the two of them will suffer terribly.

……

It is unknown how long he was unconscious.

Xu Damao slowly opened his eyes and saw a white expanse before him.

I looked to the side with difficulty, and there stood a woman in a white coat.

"Doctor, doctor, this patient has finally woken up. Could you please come and check on his condition?"

Suddenly, the woman next to him shouted.

Xu Damao tried to get up, but found that his whole body ached terribly and he couldn't sit up at all.

Before long, the doctor also rushed to the ward.

"Patient, could you tell me where you live and if you have any family members? Your condition is not very optimistic right now, and we need to communicate further with your family to facilitate subsequent treatment."

"I asked anxiously."

Xu Damao looked completely unaware; he had simply been riding his bike and apparently had fallen.

When I got up, I found myself in the hospital.

This left Xu Damao somewhat bewildered.

I have absolutely no recollection of what happened.

"Siheyuan, Lou Xiao'e".

Xu Damao opened his mouth and managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

After saying that, he fell into a coma again.

I just felt excruciating pain all over my body and had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"Doctor, how is he doing now? Our hospital is already short-staffed, and I've been taking care of him for the past three days, so I'm quite exhausted."

The nurse looked exhausted.

"Judging from his condition just now, he must have been woken up by the pain. His condition is terrible. I never imagined that someone would lie in the freezing cold of a field all night. It's simply horrifying."

The doctor said helplessly.

The farmer who took Xu Damao to the hospital simply said that he had found Xu Damao somewhere.

The farmer knew nothing about anything else and left the hospital.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was already quite an achievement that Xu Damao, who had no relation to him, was able to get the person to the hospital.

When the hospital realized they couldn't get any useful information, they had no choice but to let the farmer leave.

Saving lives is the priority; we'll wait until they examine Xu Damao's injuries.

Only then did they discover that Xu Damao's feet were covered in frostbite.

He also had multiple marks on his body.

Because of some frostbite on his face, it was impossible to tell whether the marks were from being hit or from being outside all night and getting cold.

Most importantly, the patient's family members have not come.

They could only have a nurse stay by his side to ensure Xu Damao could survive.

"Go and rest for a couple of days. I'll explain the situation to the hospital and get you approved for leave."

"Xiao Wang, go and see if there's a place called Siheyuan in Beijing. Find a person named Lou Xiao'e; she should be the patient's family member."

The doctor spoke methodically.

At this critical juncture, we must bring Xu Damao's family over in order to discuss the subsequent matters concerning 413.

Xu Damao is now alternating between unconsciousness and wakefulness.

They certainly can't make decisions on their own, and the situation is quite critical right now.

We've tried everything over these three days, but this frostbite won't heal in a short time.
