Reborn in '77, I have a job panel!

"First, he was locked up in the brigade, and then there were his brothers from his mother's side; none of them escaped."

"That's good..."

Hearing that none of Wang Shoujun and his men had escaped, Qian Cheng was temporarily relieved, but he knew this matter was far from over.

"Don't think about these things, just focus on recovering."

Qian Cheng didn't say anything more. He was indeed exhausted, his whole body ached, and his head was foggy, but he dared not sleep. He was afraid that if he fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up again.

This isn't being pretentious.

In his past life, he had seen too many news reports about people who fell into a coma after being injured and never woke up again.

He needs to stay alert.

"Mingxi".

"Um?"

"If it were me... if I couldn't make it..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Upon hearing Qian Cheng's words, Zhang Mingxi burst into tears. "You'll get better!"

"I mean, if..."

(Please remember 1219.m.k.com for the fastest chapter updates.)

"There are no 'ifs'!" Zhang Mingxi cried. "If you dare not do it, I...I..."

She couldn't continue speaking; she just cried.

Qian Cheng's eyes were already squinted as he looked at her, a pang of sorrow gripping his heart.

This girl is genuinely good to him.

"Okay, I won't say anything more. You... stop crying."

Zhang Mingxi wiped away her tears and held Qian Cheng's hand again: "You have to promise me you'll get better. Once you're better, we'll take the college entrance exam together. Wherever you go, I'll go."

"Mmm," Qian Cheng responded softly.

The tractor drove all the way and finally entered the county.

The county was much more lively than the village. There were shops on both sides of the street, and pedestrians on the road. Tractors sputtered by, attracting the attention of many people.

The county hospital is located at the east end of the county town. It is a two-story building with white walls and gray tiles, and a red cross sign hangs at the entrance.

Zhang Changtian parked the tractor at the entrance, jumped off, and rushed into the hospital.

"Doctor! Doctor! Help!"

Two doctors in white coats ran out, saw Qian Cheng in the truck bed, and quickly called for people to carry a stretcher.

Qian Cheng was carried into the clinic and placed on an examination bed. A middle-aged doctor came over, untied the bandages on his body, and examined his injuries.

The doctor frowned and said, "You have a fracture in your left leg, the cut on your forehead needs stitches, and there are also some ribs..."

"Can it be cured?" Zhang Changtian asked anxiously.

"Yes, but you need to be hospitalized and have surgery as soon as possible."

"Then I'll stay! I'll pay any price!"

Qian Cheng was about to speak when the doctor began preparing for surgery.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Cheng was wheeled into the operating room.

The needle pierced his skin, it felt cool, and soon he could no longer feel the pain, but he remained conscious.

He vaguely heard the doctor talking to Zhang Changtian: "Who is a family member? Come and sign this."

"I'll sign! I'm his mentor and his father-in-law!"

Qian Cheng wanted to laugh; the old man had finally admitted it.

The anesthetic took effect, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Meanwhile, the village was in complete chaos.

Wang Shoujun was locked in the brigade headquarters warehouse, lying on a pile of sacks, groaning.

The injuries on his face were frightening; his nose was flattened, his eyes were bruised, his lips were swollen like two sausages, and he was missing two front teeth, making his speech lisp.

The wound on my shoulder where Qian Cheng bit me has stopped bleeding, but my cotton-padded coat has a big hole in it, and the exposed flesh is a dark purple-black.

"Ouch...it hurts so much!" Wang Shoujun cried weakly. "I need to go to the hospital, I need to see a doctor..."

Two villagers, arranged by Village Chief Li, were guarding the warehouse entrance. Hearing Wang Shoujun shouting, one of them said irritably, "What are you yelling about! Qian Cheng wasn't yelling even after you beat him up like that, what are you yelling for!"

"I'm badly injured," Wang Shoujun said, his face contorted with grief. "I think I've broken some bones..."

Another villager said indignantly, "Serves them right for cutting off their supply! Who gave you the right to lead people to steal Qian Cheng's money?"

Wang Shoujun fell silent, only humming softly.

When the news reached the ears of Village Chief Li, who was smoking in the brigade office with his brows furrowed, he hesitated for a moment when he heard Wang Shoujun shouting that he wanted to go to the hospital.

Although Wang Shoujun is a scoundrel, if someone were to die, he, as the village chief, would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"Go and ask Veterinarian Deng to take a look," he said to accountant Lao Zhao.

Old Zhao responded and went to the Zhang family's house.

Deng Jingshu was brewing medicine at home for Qian Cheng. Although Qian Cheng had gone to the county hospital, the medicine still needed to be prepared so he could drink it when he returned.

When she heard Lao Zhao tell her to go and treat Wang Shoujun's injury, her face immediately fell.

"I'm not going." She refused decisively.

Old Zhao smiled apologetically: "The village chief said he's worried about someone dying. Veterinarian Deng, you should go and take a look. After all, it's a human life at stake, and if someone dies, Qian Cheng will also be held responsible, won't he?"

Deng Jingshu sneered, "When he led his men to attack Qian Cheng, didn't he think about human lives?"

"This..." Old Zhao was speechless.

But Deng Jingshu also knew that this matter concerned Qian Cheng. Although she hated Wang Shoujun, she knew that if something really happened, Qian Cheng would definitely bear some responsibility.

"Wait here." She put down the medicine bottle and went inside to get the medicine box.

Upon arriving at the brigade headquarters warehouse, Deng Jingshu went inside.

When Wang Shoujun saw her, it was like seeing a savior: "Veterinarian Deng! Veterinarian Deng, please save me! I'm going to die!"

Deng Jingshu ignored him and squatted down to check the injury.

She first looked at the injuries on her face. Her nose bridge was indeed collapsed, but the bone was not broken, only the cartilage was broken. Her eye sockets were bruised and swollen, but her eyeballs were fine. Her lips were cracked and her front teeth were missing, but none of these were serious.

Upon further examination of the bite wound on the shoulder, the wound was quite deep, but it did not damage any tendons or bones; it was just a superficial injury.

Then he touched his ribs and pressed his stomach.

Wang Shoujun cried out in pain.

"Don't scream," Deng Jingshu said coldly. "You won't die."

"Really...really can't die?" Wang Shoujun asked.

"You won't really die." Deng Jingshu stood up with a cold face. "You just look scary, but you're actually fine. Just apply some medicine and rest for a few days."

She opened the medicine box, took out some herbal powder, and sprinkled it on the wound on Wang Shoujun's shoulder. She ignored the wound on his face, as he would need to go to the clinic for stitches, which she didn't have the skill to do.

"Alright." Deng Jingshu packed up her medicine kit. "Don't get it wet these next few days, and don't eat anything that might trigger allergies."

"That's...that's it?" Wang Shoujun was unwilling to accept it. "No need to go to the hospital?"

"Go if you want, just pay for it yourself."

Wang Shoujun fell silent.

Going to the hospital costs money, and he can't bear to spend it.

Deng Jingshu left with her medicine box, never giving Wang Shoujun a kind look.

At the warehouse entrance, Old Zhao asked, "Veterinarian Deng, are you really alright?"

"It's nothing, just a superficial wound, it'll heal with some rest."

She paused, then said, "Tell the village chief that if anything happens to Qian Cheng, I'll never forgive Wang Shoujun."

Old Zhao quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, yes."

After Deng Jingshu left, Lao Zhao returned to his office and reported to the village chief.

Upon hearing this, Village Chief Li breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."

But before he could even catch his breath, the noise outside started again.

They are the five Sun brothers.

The five men were locked in another warehouse, their hands and feet bound with rope.

At first they behaved themselves, but after waiting for a long time and no one came to release them, they became anxious.
