In the county hospital, Damao's front tooth was knocked out and there was a cut at the corner of his mouth. He needed to get dentures and stitches. The cut at the corner of his eye was quite serious. I don't know if his eyes were hurt.
Damao was holding his stomach and crying in pain, so we also had an examination. After a careful examination, it was found that it was only soft tissue contusion and no internal injuries.
The doctor still suggested that Damao stay in the hospital for two days first. In case any problems were found with his eyes, they could provide timely treatment. Li Huan went directly to pay the hospitalization and medical expenses. Damao was injured at work, and the medical expenses were all covered by the village.
When Damao was lying steadily on the hospital bed, Chen Weidang and Cuihua rushed over. When they saw that their son was in the hospital, they were so scared that they didn't know what to do.
Li Huan told Chen Weidang and his wife about Damao's condition and the doctor's advice. Chen Weidang and Cuihua were relieved to see that their son's life was not in danger.
"Da Mao, you did a great job today. Daddy is proud of you."
"Dad, will I go blind?"
"No, God has eyes. There is no reason to blind the one who saves people."
Damao nodded and thought about it. He was a good person and was beaten for doing good things. He couldn't let himself go blind.
"Brother Huanzi, you said there would be a ten-dollar reward for catching the human traffickers."
Damao suddenly remembered what Li Huan said and asked quickly.
"Yes, when you recover and are discharged from the hospital, I will hold a commendation meeting and reward you with ten yuan in front of the whole village. How about that?"
"That's great, I can be considered a hero then."
"Okay, when you get ten dollars, I'll give something to the girl you like."
"Yeah, just like Brother Huanzai, giving Cheng Zhiqing delicious and fun things."
"Son, you have someone in your heart."
Cuihua was very happy when she heard this and asked immediately.
"Yes, there is someone, but I don't know if he is willing to live with me."
"Who is it? Mom will go and tell her."
"yes… "
In the end, Damao did not reveal the name of the person in his heart. She was an educated youth and had high aspirations. It would be better to forget about his wishful thinking.
Cuihua was a little anxious when she saw Damao didn't say anything, but thinking that her son was still injured, she didn't ask any more questions. She told her son that she would go home and make him something delicious. Only then did Damao breathe a sigh of relief.
When Li Huan left, he gave Damao five yuan and two kilograms of food coupons, and told him to go to the hospital cafeteria to buy meat buns when he was hungry. It was the first time that Damao touched such a huge sum of five yuan. He was so happy that even the pain in his body was reduced a lot.
Li Huan was about to return to the village, but just as he reached the hospital entrance, he saw Chen Weimin and his two sons pushing a cart into the hospital. He was stunned. Could it be that there were human traffickers in the village again
"Uncle Chen, there are human traffickers in the village again."
Li Huan ran over quickly. Chen Weimin saw that it was Li Huan who was blocking his way and pushed him away. How could this little gangster have the nerve to talk to him
Li Huan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhaodi lying on the cart. It seemed that she was not beaten by the human traffickers, but probably a fight in the village. He just didn't know which hero did this good deed.
"Huanzi, hurry up and look at your sister Xianghua. Zhaodi, that stinky bitch, didn't dare to attack me, but actually attacked a child."
Li Huan was still wondering which hero had done such a good deed when Aunt Wang brought Wang Xianghua to the hospital. It turned out that as soon as Ye Jun touched Wang Xianghua's face, he felt something was wrong. The little girl's face was too red, and she must have a fever.
Taking out the thermometer and taking her temperature, Ye Jun found that her fever had reached 39 degrees. He quickly gave her antipyretics and asked Aunt Wang to take the girl to the hospital. The wound on her face had to be treated properly.
Li Huan understood that it must be Chen Weimin who had an argument with the Wang family, and then a fight broke out. The unlucky ones were Zhaodi and Wang Xianghua.
Wang Xiangyang also ran over and told Li Huan what happened in the village. Li Huan sneered, it seemed that Chen Weimin's family had a lot of resentment towards him.
Three days later, Damao was finally discharged from the hospital. On the day of his departure, he was still a little reluctant to leave. It was so comfortable to be hospitalized. Not only did he not have to work, but there were also doctors and nurses to help him take his temperature and do examinations. Even his mother would send him delicious food every day.
The most important thing was that he finally got to eat the meat buns in the hospital. They tasted so good, exactly the same as the ones Cheng Qiao had given him before. By the way, he had already spent 40 cents out of the five dollars, and 400 grams of food coupons, so the rest had to be returned to Brother Huanzai.
Uncle Niu personally drove a bullock cart to pick him up. This guy is usually very honest and would not even fart even if you hit him with three sticks. I didn't expect that he would still have the courage to fight with the human traffickers.
"Welcome, welcome. Warmly welcome. Welcome home, big hairy hero."
There were already people at the entrance of the village holding red flowers made of red paper and waving their arms to welcome them, especially Gousheng's family, who looked very excited. If they were not worried about the injuries on Damao's body, they would have wanted to hug Damao.
Damao's face turned red instantly. His ideological awareness was not that high. He was beaten by the human traffickers and his brain went wild. He was ready to die together with them.
"Da Mao, thank you for saving my dog. We don't have much good stuff at home. This is all the white flour we have. You can take it back to replenish your body."
Gousheng's father took a big bag of flour, which weighed at least 50 kilograms, and put it on the ox cart. Damao waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he couldn't take it.
"Dad Gousheng, I really don't want it. I'm originally from the security team, and it's my duty to protect everyone's safety. You can take the flour back and give it to Gousheng. The boy must be scared too."
"Da Mao is right, folks. Today is the day we are going to reclaim the land, and it is also a good day to welcome Da Mao home. I have said before that whoever catches the human trafficker will be rewarded with ten yuan."
Li Huan held a loudspeaker in one hand and a ten-yuan bill in the other, and waved them with his arms outstretched. Everyone was envious, but when they saw the bruises on Damao's eyes, a piece of white gauze on the corners of his mouth, and the missing front teeth when he smiled, all the envy disappeared.
"Da Mao, this is ten dollars, your reward. Keep it well and don't let your mother cheat you out of it."
"You little rascal, don't think that I can't beat you just because you're the village chief."
Cuihua scolded and laughed as she patted Li Huan's arm. She thanked Li Huan sincerely, paid for Damao to go to the hospital out of her own pocket, and said that the village would reimburse the cost of getting his teeth fixed in the future.
Damao quickly took the ten yuan. This was the first time in his life that he had money of his own. He could buy so many things with ten yuan.
Thinking of buying things, he looked towards the crowd and saw a familiar face. He couldn't help but smile foolishly, but his smile was a little too big and hurt his wound. He couldn't help but groan.
Cuihua followed Damao's gaze and looked over there, but the crowd of people made it difficult for her to see who they were, so she shook her teeth and walked in that direction.
