Reborn in 1977

The three movies, plus the time for changing reels, meant it was already late at night when it ended.

Some people who lived far away couldn't hold on any longer and left early. Those remaining on the playground were basically all from the main brigade of Lujiawan.

Chen Fan politely declined Su Yujun's invitation to stay overnight, and got on Master Liu's flatbed cart, with four girls behind him who were already very sleepy but still trying to keep their spirits up.

Lighting a cigarette to stay awake, Chen Fan looked at Master Liu, who was still full of energy, and said with emotion, "You are really amazing, I'm almost exhausted, but you still look so good."

Master Liu puffed on his pipe and chuckled, "I already took a nap just now, so of course I'm full of energy."

Chen Fan was immediately speechless, and after two seconds, he smiled at him and said, "If you're sleepy, just go back and rest, there's no need to wait for us, we young people won't get lost."

The four girls behind him were also a little embarrassed.

It's just that they had never stayed up so late before, and they were so sleepy at this time that they leaned against each other and couldn't even speak.

Master Liu heard Chen Fan's words, exhaled a puff of smoke, and smiled at him, "I was originally planning to go back early, but after hearing what you said, I decided to stay and give you a ride."

Chen Fan was about to ask something when he immediately reacted, laughed twice, and said, "You're talking about teaching the veterinarians first aid methods? Actually, it's nothing, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, these first aid methods are just some small tricks that don't require much skill, but they can play a role at critical times.

For me, keeping this knowledge is useless, it's better to teach it to everyone, so that everyone can learn more emergency knowledge, so that if they encounter it one day, they won't be at a loss."

This was his sincere words. If spreading skills before was to increase his foundation in Lujiawan and plan for the future, this time he really didn't have much ulterior motives.

Most of the first aid knowledge is just some small tricks, which can't be used to make money or to eat, teaching it to everyone can save some lives that shouldn't be lost, why not do it.

Master Liu looked at him, didn't say much, just chuckled twice, and waved his whip to drive forward.

The mule also had a good sleep just now, and was full of energy at this time. Under the light of the horse lamp, it buried its head and pulled the cart. In less than an hour, it returned to the territory of the 6th team.

Chen Fan said goodbye to Xiao Liewen, Captain Zhang and others from the 5th team who lived together, and the mule cart turned east, and soon arrived at the educated youth院.

But at this time, the educated youth院, which should have been quiet, was actually a bit noisy.

Chen Fan stared blankly at dozens of people gathered at the entrance of the courtyard, and couldn't help but be a little dazed.

What's the situation today? Just watching a movie, all kinds of accidents are happening one after another?

Just as he was in a daze, Master Liu shouted, "Teacher Chen is back, what are you doing?"

Captain Yang's voice immediately came, "Master Liu, right. We caught a thief and are waiting for Xiao Chen to come back and deal with it."

A thief?

Jiang Lili and the other three, who had just woken up from a shaky sleep on the road, immediately woke up and jumped off the flatbed cart with a whoosh.

Chen Fan was full of surprise, there really was a thief tonight?

He got out of the car and walked forward quickly. When he got closer, a humanoid creature was paralyzed on the ground, motionless, its limbs twisted irregularly, and there wasn't even a groan.

He couldn't help but be startled, and pulled Captain Yang and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with him? Is he okay?"

Captain Yang didn't care, and said with a pursed mouth, "Don't worry, he's still breathing."

Chen Fan's eyes twitched wildly, what does it mean to be still breathing?

He had only heard others say how to deal with petty thieves when they were caught in this era, but he didn't know it would be such a serious situation.

Still breathing is enough?

The yellow storekeeper stood aside with his hands on his hips, and suddenly kicked the man, "The master is back, get up and talk."

The man didn't say anything, struggled to get up, always lowered his head, didn't look at anyone, and just stood there silently, one side high and one side low.

Chen Fan tilted his head and looked at him, "Where are you from?"

The man didn't speak.

Jiang Lili and the other three stood behind Chen Fan, looking at the man with curiosity in their eyes.

At this time, Accountant Liu came over and said in a low voice, "You don't need to ask this, it's useless to ask, these old hands won't say, anyway, it's just a beating, after the beating, they go home by themselves, and they don't need to embarrass their hometown."

After a pause, he turned his head to look at the man, and couldn't help but smack his lips, "But he is really miserable today, I guess he has to go to the health center."

Chen Fan blinked, just about to speak, he suddenly reacted, and said loudly, "Captain, let's not stand here, it's quite cold outside, let's all go inside and talk."

Then he turned around and gave Jiang Lili a gesture, Jiang Lili immediately took out the key and went to open the door, opening the courtyard door.

Captain Yang kicked the man on the thigh, "Get in."

The man still didn't say anything, and limped into the yard.

More than twenty people from the team who came to help catch the thief also followed in.

Chen Fan entered the yard, first returned to the room to turn on the light, and then took out a few packs of cigarettes, opened them all, and gave everyone present one.

Of course, not including the thief.

Then he secretly told Yang Ju to go to the kitchen to start a fire and make some supper according to the number of people here.

After doing these things, he used the light of the electric light to see the thief's appearance clearly.

About thirty or forty years old, not tall, very thin, lowered his head and couldn't see his face, his body was gray, and there were two big horseshoe prints on his chest.

Okay, no need to ask, it must be the masterpiece of the little mare.

Looking at other places, there were faint traces of blood, I don't know where the injury was, and who was the instigator.

Chen Fan walked over and grabbed his wrist to take his pulse.

The man raised his head slightly, his eyes full of surprise.

Chen Fan ignored him, put down his wrist, and touched the place where he was kicked by the horse a few times.

This time Chen Fan was also surprised.

Good fellow, four ribs were broken, but he was like nothing happened?

This is a talent!

Chen Fan turned his head and said to Jiang Lili, "Go and get the strips of homespun cloth I cut before."

Jiang Lili said "Oh" and immediately ran to the utility room.

Captain Yang stepped forward two steps, and asked curiously, "Are you planning to hang him up? Then you don't need homespun cloth, I have hemp rope there."

Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "No, his ribs were broken by the horse, I'll set his bones."

As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence around.

Treating a thief?

Is it a bit inappropriate?

Not to mention them, even the thief himself was a little suspicious of life.

He is familiar with being beaten when caught, but he has no experience in being treated when caught?!

Chen Fan didn't care about anything else. He waited for Jiang Lili to bring the strip of cloth, then immediately used his unique technique to reset the dislocated ribs. He then wrapped the injured area tightly with the cloth and said, "Tomorrow, go to the clinic and see the orthopedist. Ask the doctor to re-bandage and fix it for you. It's difficult to use splints for this type of rib fracture, so you can only use a chest strap for external fixation. You also need to rest for three months until the bones have fully grown back before you can move around."

The thief, who had been expressionless the whole time, suddenly turned red and stammered after a few seconds, "I don't have any money."

Chen Fan took two steps back, clapped his hands, and smiled slightly, saying, "No money? That's okay."

He suddenly turned to Captain Yang and said, "Captain, find a place to lock him up tonight. Tomorrow, send someone to the clinic and hand him over to them. I'll give the clinic a heads-up."

Although he only stayed at the clinic for a week, his interpersonal relationships weren't bad. Arranging this small matter was just a piece of cake.

Captain Yang looked puzzled. "He stole from your house, but you're not punishing him? Instead, you're sending him to the hospital for treatment?"

What kind of saintly thinking is this?

Chen Fan shook his head gently and smiled, "No, it's because I see that he's suffered such a serious injury and can still move freely and nimbly. This shows that not only is his physical fitness good, but his mental fortitude is also extraordinary. Tomorrow, send him to the clinic. First, have Doctor Dong fix his injuries, and then have him work at the clinic to atone for his sins."

He said, turning to look at the thief, "You just obediently work at the clinic. Your medical expenses, as well as the damages you caused here today, will all be calculated into your labor costs.

The medical expenses will be determined by the clinic, and the losses here… emmm, there are five of us here, so we won't ask for much. Just 5 yuan.

A temporary worker at the clinic earns 80 cents a day. If you go, you'll only be paid 40 cents before your injuries heal, and then 70 cents after your injuries heal. Don't look at me like that. If we don't set this price, why would the clinic let you work there?!"

The thief, who had just thought Chen Fan was like an angel, now felt like he was a devil.

Chen Fan clapped his hands and smiled at him, "40 cents a day, 30 cents for food, and 10 cents to pay off your debt. Once you recover, you can repay 40 cents a day. Don't think this is a small amount. A strong laborer in our team only earns a few cents of work points a day. You're almost catching up to them.

You'll be free when you've paid off the debt. Of course, you can try to run away and see if I can catch you back!"

Then he waved his hand, "Take him away."

Immediately, two militiamen came over and took the thief, who was full of self-doubt, away.

Chen Fan turned to Captain Yang and said, "Hanging him up and beating him won't recover the losses, so why bother? It's better to send him to work and use his labor costs to compensate for the losses. Isn't that better?!"

Captain Yang's face was full of hesitation. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But he didn't steal anything!"

It was quite strange. They didn't actively discover this thief; he jumped out himself.

Just now, after everyone came back from watching the movie, they heard a burst of horse neighing and dog barking in the educated youth compound. Before they could figure out how to break in to see, they saw this guy fall from the courtyard wall, unable to move on the ground. He didn't have anything on him, ensuring he didn't get anything.

But he had quite a few injuries.

Chen Fan pursed his lips, "He didn't get anything, but he made a mess of our courtyard. Xiaoju and the others will have to clean up tomorrow. Shouldn't he pay some mental distress fee?!"

Captain Yang was dumbfounded.

Mental distress fee? What is that? Is it only worth 5 yuan?

Forget it, he's just a thief anyway. Chen Fan can handle it however he wants. Moreover, Chen Fan's method is indeed more cost-effective than hanging him up and beating him.

Should we do this in the future too?

He flashed an idea in his mind, then waved his hand at Chen Fan, "Alright, do as you say. It's very late now. You all should rest early, and we should go back."

After speaking, he was about to leave, and everyone else was preparing to leave as well.

Chen Fan quickly stopped them, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave. Supper is already prepared. Isn't it a waste if you don't eat it?"

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed happy expressions, but they all declined one by one.

"What are you doing? What are you eating so late at night?"

"It's completely unnecessary. You eat yours; I'm going home."

"I'll go with you."

"Teacher Chen, we're leaving."

They spoke one after another, slowly walking outside, seemingly waiting for Chen Fan to pull them back.

Chen Fan fulfilled their wishes, putting on a determined posture to keep them, "You can't leave, you can't leave. The food is already in the pot. Leaving would be disrespectful."

"Oh dear, what are you doing, Xiao Chen?"

"Look at you, sigh, alright, just this once!"

Under the exemplary actions of Captain Yang and Accountant Liu, everyone "unwillingly" turned back and entered the kitchen under the greetings of Yang Ju and others, each holding a bowl of noodles, eating with loud slurps.

Chen Fan then used the excuse of checking for any damage to go to the back to ask the pony for details.

It turned out that the person climbed over the wall from the backyard, and before he could take any action, the rat snake took the opportunity to bite him.

Just as he shook the snake off, two brave half-grown dogs rushed up and bit each of his legs.

The puppies were not big, and the bites were shallow, so there was no big problem.

But he actually wanted to shake the puppies off, and the pony couldn't bear it. What if the puppies were injured and the owner blamed them when he returned?

So the pony immediately jumped out of the stable and rushed up, kicking him twice, almost turning his internal organs upside down.

The peregrine falcon was not to be outdone, descending from the sky and clawing his head, grabbing a piece of hair.

Now the man dared not stay any longer. After getting rid of the eagles and dogs in the backyard, he rushed to the front yard, stepped on the woodpile and climbed over the courtyard wall, only to be caught by Captain Yang and the others.

After figuring out the whole story, Chen Fan praised all the animals that participated in the action and then went to the front yard.

He took the noodles Huang Ying handed him and chatted with Captain Yang while eating.

Captain Yang had already finished his bowl of noodles, drinking even the soup clean.

He declined the invitation for another bowl, handed the bowl to Yang Ju, lit a cigarette, and then looked at Chen Fan and said, "Now that the rice transplanting is finished, it's not particularly busy these days. Why don't we start digging the foundation for your house? And what you said you wanted to get some things last time, can we start preparing for that now?"

Chen Fan thought for a while and nodded, "Okay."

Accountant Liu looked at him from the side, "Tell us what you want to do first so we can have an idea."

Chen Fan held the bowl of noodles, eating and saying, "First, we need to dig a big pit in front of the house foundation. That pit is for fermenting soil, and it can't be too small. Then we need to…"

In the deep night, the educated youth compound was brightly lit. Chen Fan sketched the construction blueprint of his first house to more than twenty team members, his eyes full of longing.

Late night -_-||
