Chapter 777 Assessment Mission: Encountering an Old Acquaintance (8)
Neither Meng Guochao nor Lao Li, who were leading the team, were present, so the people standing in the courtyard were all students.

With no one to maintain order, the students lost their sense of direction, and the crowd in the courtyard grew increasingly uneasy before a few people came out of the building.

The old man narrowed his eyes, and a sharp glint appeared in his previously cloudy eyes.

"Are you staying in Zhukun Village tonight?"

With the teacher absent, class monitor Jian Ruibing stepped forward voluntarily.

She took two steps forward, looked at the old man, and greeted him politely.

"Hello, sir. We are third-year students from Jiyun University. We were planning to go out for practical activities during the summer vacation."

However, our bus broke down halfway and we waited for a long time on the mountain road, but no other vehicle came. So we had no choice but to look for a place to stay nearby.

We met Ahua from your village in the woods. She said we could rest in the village, so she brought us here.

Oh, by the way, one of our classmates was bitten by a venomous snake and urgently needs treatment. Do you have a doctor here?

Yu Muhuai pushed his way to the front of the crowd and said with a smile, "Grandpa Village Chief, I brought them here. You won't blame Ahua for taking it upon herself to do so, will you?"

The old man put his hands behind his back, glanced at Yu Muhuai, shook his head slightly to indicate that it was alright, and then looked at Jian Ruibing and said.

"I am Zhu Hongguang, the village chief of Zhukun Village. It is said that helping others is the source of happiness. Since you are in trouble, of course we will help you."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the several adult men behind him, raised his chin, and ordered, "Second brother, take that injured person to get treatment."

The fattest of the three men came out.

He wore frameless glasses, looked more scholarly than the other two, and had the fairest skin among the three.

The man introduced himself: "I am the village chief's second son, my name is Zhu Ling. Which of you is injured?"

Several girls who were supporting Fang Wenjing quickly waved and said, "Here, here, doctor, please come and take a look."

Zhu Ling walked up to the group of people and pushed up his glasses with his finger.

He smiled and introduced himself briefly.

"I'm not a proper doctor, I just know a little about traditional Chinese medicine. If anyone in the village has a headache or fever, they can ask me to write a prescription. You can just call me Zhu Lao Er."

As he spoke, he squatted down to examine Fang Wenjing's ankle.

He reached out and pressed his hand against the wound, noticing the hemp rope on his thigh.

He then stood up and asked, "Did you see what a venomous snake looks like?"

Fang Wenjing couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene just now.

She nodded and said in a trembling voice, "I see, I see it. It's about this long (gesturing with her hand). It's thin and small, black, and has green veins on it."

Zhu Ling comforted her, "Don't worry, it's just a small earth snake from around here. Its venom isn't very strong. Did you feel a little dizzy, nauseous, and have some numbness around the wound at first?"

Fang Wenjing nodded emphatically again: "Yes, yes, doctor, what you said is exactly the same as my symptoms!"

Zhu Ling smiled and said, "Let's help this student in first. I'll disinfect and clean her wound, then apply some medicine. Ahua did a good job with the first aid, so her symptoms are mild. Don't worry."

Yu Muhuai tried to make his face blush, and then said shyly, "It's not entirely my doing; a classmate also helped a lot."

As Yu Muhuai spoke, he turned to look at the short-haired girl, Tong Yi.

Tong Yi immediately squeezed out some of the blood from Fang Wenjing's wound, helping to temporarily slow the circulation of the toxic blood. This short-haired girl was quite tall, probably around 173 cm. She didn't talk much, always had a cold expression, and looked cool.

Hearing Zhu Ling say this, Fang Wenjing was completely relieved. She thanked the classmates around her and made a special thank you to Tong Yi and Yu Muhuai.

Then, with the help of her classmates, she entered the village chief's house.

At that moment, all the lights inside the little house were turned on.

The previously dark windows now let in a warm yellow light.

Darkness breeds fear, light brings hope.

With light in the house, the yard was no longer so dark, seemingly dispelling the unease in people's hearts.

In addition, the village chief's family acted very kindly, and the students' previously anxious hearts gradually calmed down.

Just then, Meng Guochao and his driver Lao Li, who had gone out to relieve themselves, returned.

Upon seeing the strangers in the yard, Meng Guochao realized they were from the village chief's family, so he quickly went up and introduced himself.

Zhu Hongguang repeated what he had just said.

Meng Guochao said with a smile, "So it's Village Chief Zhu. Your village has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and the air is excellent. You definitely won't find this kind of scenery in the city!"

Meng Guochao then showered Zhu Kuncun with praise before getting to the main topic.

"Village Chief Zhu, our group of 44 people will be staying in Zhukun Village tonight. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you very much."

"But don't worry, Village Chief, we'll just calculate it based on the accommodation fee. We'll pay whatever it costs."

Zhu Hongguang waved his hand dismissively and said, "Guests from afar are all welcome. Don't talk about money. It's already good enough that you don't mind that our village is backward and has poor conditions."

Meng Guochao immediately said, "Village Chief Zhu, you are right. Your village is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. It would be great for us to come and stay for a while, to cultivate our minds and broaden our life experiences!"

This university professor was clearly someone who had spent a lot of time speaking in official jargon; he spoke fluently and with great experience.

Next, Zhu Hongguang began to assign accommodations to these 44 people.

The village chief's house is the largest and has the best accommodations. But as the head of the village, he can't possibly accommodate too many strangers from outside at the same time.

Meng Guochao and Lao Li, being the oldest members of the group, stayed at the village chief's house.

Fang Wenjing was injured and had difficulty moving around. In addition, the village doctor Zhu Ling was there, so she and Jiang Yanzhi, who was taking care of her, also stayed at the village chief's house.

The remaining 40 people were divided into 8 groups of 5, and each group lived in one of the 8 different villagers' homes.

Zhu Hongguang and his sons discussed it and decided on eight village families to accommodate the students.

After that, he sent his eldest son Zhu Jun, second son Zhu Ling, third son Zhu Qi, and their respective wives, along with the village chief's wife and Yu Muhuai, a total of eight people, to lead the students to the homes of eight villagers.

Yu Muhuai's home was also chosen as a place to stay, so she just took people there directly.

Coincidentally, both Luo Ji and Cheng Guang were in Yu Muhuai's team.

The other three are Xu Qizhi, Lin Sixuan, and Tong Yi.
