Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

Yang Qianqian nodded slightly and walked slowly towards the yellow stone on the ground, but she couldn't hide the disgust in her eyes. She always found it difficult to feel any goodwill towards the members of the Revolutionary Committee. The root of all this could perhaps be traced back to her grandfather's past.

Several years ago, Grandpa, with his exceptional medical skills, had saved a very important person. However, fate is unpredictable; that important person later fell from power, and Grandpa was implicated and ruthlessly sent back to his rural hometown. This humiliating history of the family filled Yang Qianqian with suspicion and hostility towards these so-called "Revolutionary Committee personnel."

Furthermore, Yang Qianqian was naturally quiet and disliked noise. Amidst the chaotic scene just now, she keenly sensed the undisguised hatred Fan Jie harbored towards Huang Shi. She didn't understand why Fan Jie hated these people so much, but one thing she was certain of—Fan Jie disliked them too.

"Captain, the patient has many wounds, especially on his legs, which need immediate treatment. Otherwise, he may have to walk on tiptoe in the future," Yang Qianqian said, stating her diagnosis.

"Then you should get treatment quickly!"

At this moment, the man surnamed Zhong shouted anxiously. Director Huang had come out with them, and if something went wrong, they would probably be implicated as well.

"I'm sorry, Captain, it's been snowing lately, and we haven't had time to go to the commune to get medical supplies. The clinic doesn't even have basic gauze left. I'm afraid I can't help you. The most urgent thing is probably to send him to the commune..."

Yang Qianqian ignored the man surnamed Zhong's voice and instead looked at Captain Lin Guodong and slowly spoke.

In her heart, a doctor's compassion is essential, but principles and bottom lines must also be upheld. She would never easily treat those she deemed unworthy of care. Therefore, when Yang Qianqian stood before Huang Shi, her eyes held not only disgust but also unwavering resolve. She knew what she had to do, and she knew what she couldn't do. At that moment, her decision was crystal clear.

Ma Jianshe stood there with a furrowed brow; the situation was indeed thorny. The numerous wounds covering Director Huang's legs were a shocking sight; if not treated promptly, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“Then send him to the commune. Let a few people help carry Director Huang to the village committee.” However, the commune members seemed unmoved by Secretary Ma’s words.

Especially when the brigade leader blurted out, "Just because we didn't kill a chicken to entertain you today, you're pulling this stunt," the villagers' emotions were completely ignited. They cursed and swore, their words filled with dissatisfaction and indignation: "What, you officials can't go a meal without meat? We villagers don't eat meat, it's the norm for us!"

Many people used vulgar language to mercilessly ridicule and belittle Huang Shi and his associates. In an instant, Huang Shi and his group's image in the hearts of the commune members vanished, and even Secretary Ma's words lost their former weight. Everyone turned their heads away, unwilling to listen to a single word from these so-called "leaders."

Seeing this, Lin Guodong helplessly spread his hands, his brows furrowed, and said to Secretary Ma, "Secretary Ma, look...!"

"You two go find a plank and carry Director Huang over there..." At this point, Ma Jianshe didn't dare use his position as a commune cadre to pressure people. The commune members were currently in a state of high spirits, and forcing them to carry him could lead to serious trouble. In the end, he had no choice but to instruct the two young men who were with him.

The two men exchanged a helpless glance and had no choice but to ask the captain for help in finding a plank so they could carry Director Huang away. They carried the plank carefully through the darkness, one in front of the other.

However, at that moment, a pebble suddenly flew out from the shadows and struck the man surnamed Zhong squarely in the leg. The man felt a sharp pain in his lower body, his hands immediately went limp, and he and the plank fell into a small ditch beside him.

Huang Shi was even more unlucky; his body flew off the wooden plank, and his leg slammed onto a blue stone below as he landed.

"Ah..." A pig-like scream instantly echoed through the night sky of the Dongwan Brigade, shattering the tranquility of the night.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. Comrades Zhong and Du quickly got up to check on Director Huang's injuries. The commune members also gathered around, and upon seeing Huang Shi's condition, Long Lifan and Yang Qianqian had only one thought: Huang Shi's leg was probably completely ruined.

Long Lifan guessed that Qi Shishen must have made the move from the shadows; given his skills, it would have been very easy for him to do so. It must be said that Qi Shishen chose this perfect spot to strike; Huang Shi's leg landed perfectly on the bluestone as he swung from the wooden plank.

The yellow stone was damaged like this while being carried by his subordinates. Even if someone investigates afterward, it will be the fault of his subordinates, and it has little to do with the commune members.

As night deepened, Lin Guodong and Party Secretary Ma together carried Director Huang to the village committee office. Lin Guodong then notified Old Chen to go to the commune together. Old Chen hurriedly hitched up the cart and drove the oxcart at breakneck speed towards the commune. Seeing that the situation had calmed down and the "protagonist" had left, the commune members dispersed and went home.

Long Lifan walked home, her heart filled with mixed emotions. This was the first time she had "harmed" someone since transmigrating to this world, and although it was for the sake of justice, she still felt uneasy. However, when she thought of Huang Shi and the others using the Revolutionary Committee's name to pursue their own selfish desires, she felt that her actions were not wrong. They all deserved their fate.

Hu Lili chattered excitedly beside him, recounting her "feat" just now. Long Lifan looked at her, a smile of satisfaction on her lips. A girl as innocent as Hu Lili, untouched by the filth of the world, had no idea what was going on.

A gentle night breeze stirred, and Long Lifan's mind gradually calmed. She knew that justice, though delayed, would never be absent. While people like Huang Shi were currently causing trouble, they would receive their due punishment once the storm subsided. What she did today was simply to collect a little interest from Huang Shi ahead of time.

Of course, what Long Lifan never expected was that Huang Shi was currently lying on the oxcart, enduring torture. It turned out that Old Man Chen had learned the whole story from their conversation and was filled with rage.

Although the dirt road had been widened, it soon became bumpy and potholed again. Old Chen deliberately drove the oxcart along the uneven road, making Huang Shi feel like he was being tortured. As the oxcart moved forward, Huang Shi's shrill screams continued incessantly.

Hearing this, one of his companions couldn't help but say, "Old comrade, could you walk on a slightly flatter surface?"

Old Chen's face hardened, and he replied without any politeness, "I'm too old to see the road clearly at night. Why don't you drive the oxcart?" As he spoke, he handed over the ox whip in his hand.

Driving an oxcart? He certainly didn't know how! Seeing the whip handed to him, the man lowered his head and dared not speak again.

"Hmph..." Old Chen snorted coldly. If it weren't for the fact that he was the brigade leader, he would never dream of being asked to deliver someone so late at night. Seeing that the man didn't dare to say anything more, he continued to drive the oxcart along the bumpy road.
