Chapter 43 Shut up! If you keep nagging, I'll knock you out!

Fall, get up and keep going.

There were dark clouds and heavy rain, the sky was dim, and in the gray-white rain curtain, his figure gradually moved away and disappeared.

Qiao Lan looked in the direction he left and stood there for a while.

silence.

This man was obviously injured and in such a strong wind and heavy rain, he might have died on the road.

But after going through so much trouble to get medicine, there is no guarantee that he will be able to save many people when he returns.

Even if he saved them, would they be grateful to him?

Even if we can save the people in the hotel, can we save the people in the entire city, or even the whole world?

What's the point?

The world is ruined.

He has a heart that is willing to sacrifice himself to save others, but what is he trying to achieve?

Qiao Lan snorted secretly.

When Ye Qi was investigating her, she was in a good mood to deal with him, pretending to be ignorant, playing tricks, and deliberately doing bad things to make him jealous... It was fun and satisfying to bully the young police officer who had not become the strong Ye Yanwang.

But today he suddenly stopped targeting her and came over seriously to ask for help, which made Qiao Lan very annoyed.

I'm too lazy to joke with him.

What's the point of saluting? What's the point of thanking? Does he think he's so noble?

You want medicine? Okay, here you go.

See to what extent he can save people.

I don’t know whether he was at the Tsui Wah Hotel at this time in his previous life and whether he saved anyone.

If something went wrong with him in this life and he died, maybe there would be no Ye Yanwang in the end of the world?

call!

A gust of wind blew and blew the umbrella askew.

The rain splashed all over Qiao Lan.

Interrupt her thoughts.

She turned back.

She thought bitterly that it was better that Ye Gou was dead, so that he wouldn't have to steal her instant noodles in the future!

"Our captain is seriously injured and has trouble walking!"

As soon as he entered the house, Old Song shouted to Qiao Lan, "Little girl, please, untie my rope quickly and let me go back with him. In case anything goes wrong along the way..."

Qiao Lan said fiercely: "No!"

"Little girl..."

"Didn't you hear him say that he won't let you go back? If they all die, you'll have to take over and continue investigating the potion."

"But……"

"Shut up! If you keep nagging, I'll knock you out."

Qiao Lan picked up a stool and was about to smash it on Lao Song, but Lao Song immediately shut up. He had experienced this girl's cruelty before and didn't want to experience it again.

He looked at Qiao Lan suspiciously.

He wondered, this girl had been smiling all the time, so where did this evil fire come from now?

"Uncle Guo, what's wrong with you?"

Wiping the rain off his face and body, Qiao Lan turned to the person brought by Ye Qi.

How come Lao Guo from the spicy hot pot restaurant in the off-campus food street is with Ye Qi?

Just now, he was shivering and huddled beside Ye Qi, and Qiao Lan didn't recognize him.

"Uncle Guo?"

“It’s really Uncle Guo!”

The desk lamp was turned over there, and the light shone over there, and Xiao Tang and Xiao Li also recognized the old acquaintance.

Before the storm, they often ate the hotpot from Lao Guo's restaurant.

"Xiao Qiao, Xiao Tang...you are here? Do you know the man just now?"

Like Ye Qi, Lao Guo was soaked all over, with water dripping from his clothes. As he stood there, a puddle of water formed under his feet.

Ye Qi could stand straight and salute, but he hunched his neck, hugged his arms, and looked worried.

During this long time, Qiao Lan and Ye Qi were negotiating, but he shrank aside and didn't dare to say a word.

Now, when I speak, I can't help crying.

"It was that young man who saved me and brought me here... I almost died... It was so windy and rainy, and I fell into a pit and got beaten..."

He spoke incoherently and cried at the same time. Finally, he sobbed and squatted on the ground, covering his face, unable to speak.

However, Qiao Lan and the others also got a general idea from his confusing narration.

It turned out that he also went to Tsui Wah for a dinner that night. The next day, the grain store owner organized everyone to evacuate. His home and store were damaged by the wind, and he had nowhere to go, so he dragged his family to the entertainment city.

During the days of the storm, the buildings in the entertainment city were indeed very solid and did not collapse or fall down. The more than 200 people inside were considered safe.

There was no water, electricity or food, but we relied on the food reserves provided by the owner of the entertainment city. Everyone ate less every day and we were able to get by.

However, his wife has high blood pressure and needs to take blood pressure medication every day. She has been out of medicine for the past few days, and his daughter is sick with a high fever and has no fever-reducing medicine. Seeing that the wind has died down a bit today and will not blow people away as soon as they go out, he hurried out in the wind and rain to look for medicine.

Trying to find medicine in the ruins of the hospital pharmacy.

But unexpectedly, he met a few people who came out of nowhere on the road and chased him and beat him.

He fled in panic and finally fell into a large rubble pit, unable to move. The group probably thought he was dead, so they left.

He fainted.

Fortunately, I woke up later.

Otherwise, the heavy rain would cause water to accumulate in the pit and drown him.

Fortunately, he met Ye Qi who happened to pass by, rescued him, and brought him here.

He didn't even know Ye Qi's name.

I followed him with trepidation and confusion, but unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance.

Lao Guo burst into tears.

The grown man in his fifties felt very embarrassed after crying. He wiped his tears and nose with his wet sleeves and apologized to Qiao Lan and the others in an awkward manner.

"Look at me, I'm so... useless, are you scared?"

"It's okay, Uncle Guo. We are adults now. We won't be scared by seeing you crying." Qiao Lan laughed.

If it was a stranger, she might have thrown him away. They were not related to her at all. How could Ye Qi just say to put them here? This wasn't a shelter.

But, it’s not easy for Lao Guo to just throw it away.

I used to eat a lot of special sweet soups given by others.

"Uncle Guo, do you need blood pressure and fever medicine? This place used to be a kindergarten. The other day I saw a small medicine box in the brick pile. There were some cold medicines in it, and it seemed there was also blood pressure medicine. Maybe it was something that teachers and students here used to have on hand? Wait, I'll go look for it."

Qiao Lan pretended to go to the small warehouse and came out carrying a small plastic box.

There are several boxes of antihypertensive drugs, cold medicines, antipyretics, and anti-inflammatory drugs.

These are all her stockpiles.

"Take it back, Uncle Guo."

Lao Guo was surprised, "This... is for me?"

Even the most obtuse person knows how precious medicine will be after a disaster.

He went out and searched for a long time, and nearly lost his life, but he still couldn't find a box of medicine.

Qiao Lan gave him several boxes at once.

"If you give them all to me, do you have any left?"

He thought for a moment and took out only a box of blood pressure medication and a bottle of fever-reducing medicine. "Keep the rest. If anyone catches a cold in the future, they can't be without medicine. We don't know when official disaster relief will arrive."

He added, "You probably won't need a whole bottle of this fever-reducing medicine. I'll return the rest to you after my daughter's fever subsides. I'll take a box of the blood pressure medicine first, and I'll return another box when I find the medicine later."

"No need, none of us has high blood pressure," said Qiao Lan.

Old Guo said, "If you don't need it, you can exchange it for food. Food is hard to come by these days, and money is hard to come by. Even if you have money, you have nowhere to buy it. But there are definitely people who need medicine. You can use it to exchange for food. Remember to bargain, and try to get more food for a box of medicine. Do you understand?"

Perhaps after crying, the despair and fear accumulated over the past few days were slightly released. Lao Guo gradually stopped shaking and spoke more fluently.

It's in much better condition than when I first arrived.

He is a bit like the old Guo who always reminded Qiao Lan and other young people about the details of life.

He thanked Qiao Lan and the others gratefully, and repeatedly promised to return the medicine after finding it. Then he said goodbye and hurried back to give his wife and children the medicine.

Qiao Lan gave him an umbrella.

Old Guo put the medicine into the inner pocket of his clothes.

Suddenly he paused and took out two small packages of braised eggs from his pocket.

He quickly stuffed it into Qiao Lan's hand and said, "I almost forgot, I still have some food. I'll leave it for you. Thank you for the medicine. Food is hard to find right now, and this egg can help you stay hungry."

Qiao Lan was stunned.

I raised my eyes and met Lao Guo's sincere gaze.
