The carriage was quickly prepared. Under the surprised eyes of the commune members, Zhou Yang carried the injured man onto the carriage and headed straight to Yunshan County, 20 kilometers away.
Since Zhou Yang had never driven a carriage before, Li Fengnian asked brothers Li Jianguo and Li Guoqing to follow him so that he could have someone to look after him on the way.
After leaving the village, Li Jianguo looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Brother-in-law, you should stay less involved in this kind of thing in the future!"
Zhou Yang knew what he was worried about, and sighed and said, "Brother, are you worried that we will cause trouble if we save him?"
"Well, you know the situation in the past few years. Although it's not as bad as in previous years, it's still easy to get into trouble if someone catches you in pigtails!"
Zhou Yang nodded and said: "I know, it's just that when a man lives in this world, he should do something and not do something!"
"A living life is struggling there. We have the ability but are indifferent and watch him die. I can't do this!"
Li Guoqing glanced at his elder brother and said, "Brother, I think my brother-in-law is right. If he commits a crime, it's his business. There's nothing wrong with us saving people!"
"You said there's nothing wrong with it, so there's nothing wrong with it? How many people these days are waiting with their eyes wide open, waiting to pull someone's pigtails? You're taking advantage of someone else's fault!" Li Jianguo said angrily.
After all, he was older. He was already fifteen or sixteen when the movement started, and he still remembered some things vividly.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Okay, we are just saving people now, just leave the rest alone!"
"This is the end of the matter, and that's all it can do!"
"Brother, I saved him for my father's sake. After all, he is from the capital. If anything happens, my father, the village party secretary, will be the first person responsible." Zhou Yang said again.
"Well, what you said makes sense. I hope he can hold on!"
As they said that, the three of them couldn't help but glance at the man in the car.
Seeing the numerous wounds all over his body and his almost deformed arms, the three of them shook their heads.
Such a frail body, such serious injuries, it’s so embarrassing!
With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse, the three people came to the county seat late at night and sent the person to the emergency room.
Fortunately, there was a doctor on duty in the emergency room of the hospital. Although he was young, seeing how well he handled the situation, the three of them could only hand the patient over to him.
After paying the money, Zhou Yang asked his two uncles to go back first while he stayed in the hospital to wait for news.
After all, it was the busy farming season, so there was no need for all three of them to stay in the hospital.
After his two uncles left, Zhou Yang sat on a long chair in the hospital and fell asleep unknowingly.
In a daze, Zhou Yang heard someone calling him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a seventeen-year-old nurse standing in front of him.
Zhou Yang woke up immediately. Before Zhou Yang could speak, the nurse hurriedly asked: "The doctor is looking for you. Go and have a look!"
"What's wrong? Has the person been rescued?" Zhou Yang asked hurriedly.
"The person has been rescued, but there is a new situation. The doctor needs to communicate with you!" the little nurse said immediately.
"what's going on?"
"I don't know much, you'd better communicate with the doctor directly!"
Zhou Yang knew that the little girl was just an ordinary nurse and couldn't ask any questions, so he immediately followed her to the doctor.
At the door of the operating room, Zhou Yang met the doctor.
Different from the young doctor I met first, this time I met an old doctor in his fifties or sixties.
The other person had gray hair, was still wearing a white coat, and had medical gloves on his hands. He had obviously just come off the operating table.
Arriving in front of the old doctor, the young nurse immediately said: "Doctor Zhong, this is the family member of the injured!"
The old doctor glanced at Zhou Yang and then said: "Let's make a long story short. When we were performing the operation just now, we found that the injured person's condition was far more complicated than what we diagnosed."
"Not only did he have one broken arm, he also had three broken ribs, one of which was inserted directly into the chest. Due to the long-term bumps, the bone penetrated the organs, and a thoracotomy was necessary."
As soon as the doctor finished speaking, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Then...can he still be saved?"
"It can be saved, but it will cost a lot of money. We must communicate with your family!"
Zhou Yang immediately said: "I am not his family member, we are just from the same team!"
"Then you should contact his family as soon as possible. The surgery fee plus hospitalization fee are really unaffordable for ordinary families!" Dr. Zhong sighed.
"Doctor, just tell me, how much will it cost?" Zhou Yang asked in a deep voice.
"The surgery fee is not much, but with hospitalization fees and various medicines, it is conservatively estimated to cost more than 150 yuan, and 200 yuan is also possible!"
Zhou Yang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I'll pay the money, and I'll leave it to you, Doctor Zhong!"
The old doctor was stunned for a moment, then said: "You can be the head of his family, don't you have to wait for his family members to come and discuss it?"
"Can he afford to wait?"
"This...it's best to make a decision within twenty minutes!"
"Isn't that enough? Besides, except for an 8-year-old son, he has no other family members!" Zhou Yang said.
"This is two hundred yuan, don't you really think about it? What if he wakes up and doesn't pay you back?" the old doctor asked curiously.
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Two hundred yuan is indeed a lot, but compared to human life, it is nothing!"
"As for whether he will admit the debt or not pay it back in the future, I actually haven't thought about it that much. Besides, it's still unknown whether he can get off the operating table alive. Why do I think about it so much!"
The old doctor said with admiration: "The young man lives a transparent life, the old man admires him!"
Then, without waiting for Zhou Yang to reply, the old doctor said again: "Just pay the money, and leave the person to me, Zhong Zhennan, to ensure that he can recover as before!"
Zhou Yang said please, and then hurried outside to pay, while the old doctor returned to the operating room.
Just when he turned around, he seemed to have thought of something!
Immediately, Zhou Yang turned to the little nurse next to him and asked, "What did the doctor say his name was just now?"
"Zhong Zhennan! Dr. Zhong is an expert from Shanghai, and his medical skills are very good. That person inside is really a blessing!" the little nurse replied.
Zhong Zhennan, it’s him!
Zhou Yang was slightly shocked. When he saw this old doctor just now, he always felt that he had seen him somewhere before.
But he never thought that it was his old friend’s father, the famous Jiangnan miracle doctor—Zhong Zhennan!
Yes, Zhou Yang was indeed very good friends with Zhong Zhennan's son Zhong Qi, but it would be a few years before he met Zhong Qi, by which time Zhong Zhennan had passed away.
He vaguely remembered that Zhong Qi had told him before that his father had stayed in Yunshan County for several years, seemingly because of a mistake.
A few years later, he was involved in a car accident on his way back to Shanghai and died on the spot.
But Zhou Yang didn't expect that Zhong Zhennan was actually in the county hospital. It seemed that a technical backbone like him would be in demand no matter where he went.
However, it was thought that in no more than two years at the latest, Zhong Zhennan would be transferred back to Shanghai and eventually encounter a car accident, with a sad ending.
Zhou Yang secretly decided that if there was a chance, he must prevent the tragedy from happening.
