Courtyard House: Purchasing Agents' Comeback from the Great Famine

The place where Xu Damao was attacked was at the intersection of the road leading to Changping, five kilometers outside of Beijing. The driver drove at full speed and arrived at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in just over ten minutes.

Peking Union Medical College Hospital is the closest and has a high level of medical expertise, making it the first choice for surgery.

"Doctor, doctor, help me!"

The driver and the meat processing plant staff had just carried Xu Damao to Xiehe Hospital when the driver started shouting loudly.

Soon, a doctor in a white coat ran over. Seeing that the injured person had been stabbed in the kidney, he quickly said:

"Quickly, get him onto the emergency bed! The injured person has been stabbed in the kidney and needs immediate surgery."

The three of them worked together to lift Xu Damao onto the emergency bed, and he was quickly taken into the emergency room.

Upon seeing Xu Damao being wheeled into the emergency room, the meat processing plant manager hurriedly went to make a phone call.

They had already seen Xu Damao's work ID on the bus. Xu Damao is a projectionist at the steel rolling mill. Now that such a big thing has happened, he must immediately notify Li Huaide to handle it.

After making the phone call at the hospital, the meat processing plant manager waited anxiously at the hospital. About twenty minutes later, Li Huaide and his driver rushed over.

"Old Wang, what exactly happened?" Li Huaide asked hurriedly.

Factory Director Wang said in a deep voice, "Old Li, this is what happened. I was on my way to Changping Hongxing Commune to discuss the supply of live pigs when I saw a hooded man with a dagger trying to kill Comrade Xu Damao. My driver fired a few shots from a distance, scaring the robber away. Comrade Xu Damao was stabbed in the waist and arm and has been taken to the emergency room."

Upon hearing this, Li Huaide's face darkened.

"Old Wang, you missed the robber when you fired? You didn't catch him?"

Factory Director Wang sighed: "At the time, we were quite far from the robbers. My driver was my brother-in-law's cousin, and he hadn't received any systematic training, so his marksmanship was a bit poor. The robbers disappeared into the bushes, and the bushes were very thick, making it difficult for us to catch them. We also saw that Xu Damao was in critical condition, so we didn't give chase."

Hearing what Director Wang said, Li Huaide couldn't say anything more. Luckily, Old Wang happened to be passing by and ran into Xu Damao, otherwise Xu Damao would definitely be dead.

"Old Wang, how is Xu Damao now? Is his life in danger?"

Factory Director Wang shook his head: "We don't know yet. He's already been taken to the emergency room, but Xu Damao lost a lot of blood, I'm afraid..."

Even though Director Wang didn't say it, Li Huaide knew what it meant.

Just then, the doctor came out of the emergency room and hurriedly asked, "Which of you is the injured person's family member? Come over quickly and sign the surgery consent form. The injured person's kidney has been stabbed by a dagger and surgery must be performed immediately to remove the injured kidney, otherwise his life will be in danger."

Li Huaide stepped forward and said, "Doctor, I am the injured person's supervisor. Please arrange surgery immediately. I will sign the surgery consent form and take responsibility for anything that happens. Doctor, you must save him!"

Upon hearing that it was the injured person's superior, and that the injured person needed immediate surgery, the hospital did not require that family members be present before the surgery could proceed, as it was a matter of life and death. By the time they notified the family members, the person would have already passed away.

"Okay, sign quickly and we'll arrange the surgery immediately. Luckily you got him to the hospital in time, otherwise this comrade would definitely not have survived."

"become."

After Li Huaide signed the consent form, the doctor hurriedly went to arrange the surgery.

Xu Damao was wheeled into the operating room. Li Huaide nodded to Factory Director Wang: "Old Wang, thank you so much this time."

Factory Director Wang waved his hand: "Old Li, what are you saying? I, Old Wang, am a veteran of the battlefield. Of course I would stop it if something like this happened. It's just a pity that we didn't catch the robbers."

"Old Wang, I really have to thank you this time, no matter what. Come to the steel mill sometime when you have time. I'll have my sister-in-law cook two of her best dishes, and we can have a good drink together."

"Alright, I'll leave this to you. I still have to go to the Red Star Commune, so I'll be going now."

"become."

After Director Wang left, Li Huaide immediately instructed the driver, "Xiao Zhao, go back to the factory and find out where Xu Damao lives. Notify his family to come over right away."

"Yes, factory manager."

Soon, the driver named Xiao Zhao left the Union Hospital and drove towards the steel rolling mill.

Upon arriving at the Housing Management Section, Xiao Zhao went directly to the section chief.

Xiao Zhao came on Li Huaide's orders. The head of the housing management department was very cooperative and found Xu Damao's address in five minutes.

Xiao Zhao headed straight for No. 95 Courtyard without stopping. As soon as he arrived at No. 95 Courtyard, he met Wang Feng. As Li Huaide's driver, he must know that Li Huaide and Wang Feng had a very good personal relationship.

Wang Feng had just returned from lunch at courtyard number 28. Seeing Li Huaide's driver, Xiao Zhao, he asked in confusion, "Brother Zhao, are you here to see me?"

Without wasting any words, Xiao Zhao hurriedly said, "I'm here to find Xu Damao's family. Something happened to Xu Damao. He was stabbed in the kidney by a robber and is currently undergoing surgery at Xiehe Hospital. Wang Feng, are you in the same hospital as Xu Damao? Please take me to his family quickly."

Upon hearing this, Wang Feng's lips twitched.

Today must have been Xu Damao's first time showing a movie in the countryside, and he ran into robbers? What a coincidence!

And why was he stabbed in the kidneys again? Damn it, do these robbers like to stab people in the kidneys? He was stabbed in the kidneys before, but those two robbers had already been tortured to death by him.

Wang Feng knew the situation was urgent, so he quickly said, "Brother Zhao, come with me, I'll take you to find Xu Damao's family right away."

Wang Feng hurriedly went to the backyard, arrived at Xu Damao's house, and knocked on the door.

"Knock knock knock".

"Li Sumei, Li Sumei, are you home? This is Wang Feng, I need to talk to you urgently."

When Li Sumei heard that it was Wang Feng, she quickly opened the door.

"Wang Feng, what do you need me for?"

Before Wang Feng could speak, Xiao Zhao interrupted, "Comrade, hello, I am Zhao Shubai, the driver of Li Huaide, the director of the steel rolling mill. Today, Comrade Xu Damao was stabbed by robbers while showing movies in the countryside. The director asked me to inform Comrade Xu Damao's family. Comrade Xu Damao is currently undergoing surgery at Xiehe Hospital. Please go to the hospital as soon as possible."

boom.

Upon hearing what the driver, Xiao Zhao, said, Li Sumei felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She stood there stunned, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Comrade Zhao... Comrade Zhao? How is my husband Xu Damao now?" Li Sumei asked in a trembling voice.

Xiao Zhao shook his head: "I don't know yet. She had already been taken into the operating room before I arrived."

Xiao Zhao suddenly remembered what the doctor had said earlier and quickly said, "Comrade, don't panic. The doctor said that if he had been brought in any later, he would have been beyond saving. He should be out of danger. You should come to the hospital with me now. By the way, where are Comrade Xu Damao's parents?"

Hearing that there was no danger to her life, Li Sumei finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Comrade Zhao, Xu Damao's parents don't live here. I'll go find them right now."

"Okay, Director Li is overseeing things at the hospital right now. You guys go to the hospital as soon as possible. I'll be going now."
