Chapter 68: Rescue
Even though the kumquat lemon tea was sold out and the number had been released, many people were still reluctant to leave the coffee shop.
I just wanted to sit in the store and wait, as if I was afraid that Mo Qingyan would run away.
What? How to solve the eating problem?
It’s easy. There’s a food festival outside and there’s plenty of food.
I ran back immediately after buying it.
Compared to those stalls outside without air conditioning, this air-conditioned coffee shop is so comfortable.
Mo Qingyan had no intention of chasing them away, so she let them rest in the store.
Because he saw that some people actually came with suitcases.
It's really hard work.
After selling the kumquat lemon tea, Mo Qingyan first brewed the tea base and let it cool.
Then he went out to find food with Song Beichen and others.
After all, I got up at seven in the morning to have breakfast, and then worked hard all morning, so I was already very hungry.
It’s true, this food festival is quite grand, with three hundred stalls at the festival.
When Mo Qingyan came yesterday, there were only the last two left.
After the opening ceremony, the organizer of the food festival will issue many food coupons.
Those food coupons are valid at all stalls at the food festival.
Therefore, many people came to attend the opening ceremony of the food festival.
At noon, more people came out.
After all, it's time to forage for food at noon.
It can be seen that the organizers of the food festival here put a lot of effort into it.
Because there are nearly three hundred stalls, there can only be a maximum of three stalls for each type of food.
Therefore, there are almost 100 kinds of food at this food festival.
Mo Qingyan discovered many folk snacks that he had never eaten before.
I can't say that those snacks are very delicious, but some of them taste really good.
Even Yin Yiyi and others, whose appetites had been spoiled by Mo Qingyan recently, had their mouths full of oil after eating.
Most importantly, they are also smart.
I left a cup of kumquat lemon tea for each of us.
They had kumquat lemon tea in their left hand and snacks in their right hand, and they enjoyed the meal very much.
When Song Beichen and his friends came out with kumquat lemon tea, the fans who were waiting in the store had tears in their eyes.
However, Song Beichen was Mo Qingyan's friend, so they didn't dare to snatch him away.
Otherwise, they probably wouldn’t have a chance to have kumquat lemon tea.
Faced with those fierce gazes, Song Beichen and others remained very calm.
He even raised his chin high and started drinking in front of those people.
It seems like a deliberate show-off.
Mo Qingyan was left speechless.
Mo Qingyan's tongue is now so sensitive that when eating, she can not only taste the ingredients of the food, but also accurately taste some of the cooking methods.
This was mainly due to the experience he accumulated from learning cooking in his previous life.
In his previous life, after his parents passed away, he spent his time studying and learning cooking.
I have finally learned cooking and I feel my level is good enough. When I was planning to open my own restaurant, I ended up here.
But now, Mo Qingyan feels that it is a good life to be able to travel around, do whatever she wants, and sell whatever food she wants.
He was happy selling, and his fans were happy buying and eating the food.
In addition to diners, many internet celebrity food bloggers also came here to shoot videos and live broadcasts at this food festival.
Even so, such a large group of people including Mo Qingyan was still quite eye-catching.
Among them, someone recognized Mo Qingyan.
"Brother Mo, you are Brother Mo, right?"
A group of young people rushed up excitedly.
"Oh my god, it's really Brother Mo."
"It's Brother Mo, and the people next to him are Song Beichen and the others."
"Am I dreaming? I actually met Brother Mo here."
"Brother Mo, are you coming to our H City to set up a stall?"
"What are you going to sell? Where are you going to sell it? Let's get in line."
…
These young people are all college students.
I happened to have no classes today, so I came out to join in the fun at the food festival.
Unexpectedly, I would meet Mo Qingyan and others.
In a short while, Mo Qingyan was surrounded by this group of people.
Song Beichen and his companions were directly squeezed out by them.
Mo Qingyan watched Song Beichen and the others being squeezed out.
He didn't expect these fans to be so enthusiastic.
"Don't be anxious, come one by one. I will answer any questions you have, but you have to go to the side first and don't block other people's way."
There was such a large group of them that they blocked most of the road.
Mo Qingyan walked aside with a group of young people.
Then, on the side of the road, he answered the questions of these young people one by one, as if he was being interviewed by reporters.
"Brother Mo, are you coming to H City to set up a stall at this food festival?"
"I'm not setting up a stall anymore. This time I'm upgrading and renting a coffee shop to sell kumquat lemon tea."
"Kumquat lemon tea? This is the first time I've heard of using kumquats and lemons to make tea. But as long as it's made by Brother Mo, it must taste good. Brother Mo, when will you start selling it?"
"It's already on sale. It started at 10am this morning at the Very Coffee Shop over there."
"What? It's already on sale? Doesn't that mean we don't have a chance to buy it today?"
"There's another one this afternoon, but it won't be your turn. If you want to drink, come tomorrow morning. It'll go on sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow. First come, first served."
"Ah, we can't drink today, so can we take a photo with you, Brother Mo?"
"Yeah, if I can't drink Brother Mo's tea, taking a photo with him will do!"
"I'm not some big star. You can take a photo with me if you like."
Then a group of people started lining up to take photos with Mo Qingyan.
The people outside saw so many people surrounding Mo Qingyan, holding up their phones and taking all kinds of photos.
Moreover, there was a camera following behind Mo Qingyan, and so many people were seen queuing up to take photos with Mo Qingyan.
I thought Mo Qingyan was some big star.
They also took out their mobile phones and took various photos of Mo Qingyan, and some even lined up to take photos with Mo Qingyan.
Anyway, I don’t know if he is a big star or not, his main purpose is just to join in the fun.
Mo Qingyan here was surrounded by a large group of people who wanted to take photos with her.
Song Beichen and others on the other side were pushed aside and no one paid any attention to them.
It seems that the contrast is really too strong, and it feels a bit miserable.
Song Beichen wondered, "No, am I really that unpopular? Why do everyone want to take photos with Brother Mo, but no one wants to take photos with me?"
Yin Yiyi said: "There's nothing I can do about it. You're not as handsome as Brother Mo!"
Zina said, "Not as good as Brother Mo's cooking skills."
Tao Zui said: "Well, not as generous as Brother Mo."
Three arrows pierced Song Beichen's chest at the same time.
Song Beichen couldn't help but cover his chest with a look of pain on his face.
He pointed at the three people and said, "You, you, you...you will lose me if you do this, do you know that?"
Yin Yiyi waved her hands, "It doesn't matter, you are not Brother Mo, just let it go."
Qi Na agreed: "That's right, there are so many people who want to be on our show now. The number of people who want to line up to be on our show is about to explode the director's phone."
Tao Zui and the others said earnestly: "Xiao Bei, I advise you not to be too confident. There are many people who want to take your place."
"you……"
Song Beichen was immediately speechless by them.
Seeing Song Beichen's frustrated look, the audience in the live broadcast room were all laughing.
"Haha, our Brother Mo is popular."
"That's right. There are millions of viewers for the show, and millions of them are Mo's fans."
"Haha, how could Song Beichen be willing to give up his position? Every time Brother Mo cooks something delicious, he is the first one to rush over and eat it."
"If Song Beichen is willing to give up his position, I will take it immediately."
"I want to go on a blind date with Brother Mo. Is it too late for me to sign up now?"
"I also want to go on a blind date with Brother Mo, so that I can eat the food that Brother Mo cooks."
"Come on, Brother Mo's blind date spot has already been filled. Even the blind date spots for other people have already been taken. Don't ask me how I know, because I went to sign up. And I didn't get in."
…
Mo Qingyan finally finished taking photos with those fans. Seeing that the time was almost up, she prepared to go to the supermarket with Song Beichen and others to buy kumquats, lemons, and honey.
After all, we still have to sell kumquat lemon tea at four o'clock in the afternoon. In the morning, all the kumquats, lemons and honey were used up.
Fortunately, the shopping mall is not far from here.
Unexpectedly, when Mo Qingyan and others were about to leave, suddenly, an old man in flowery clothes in front of them fell to the ground without any warning.
This scene scared everyone around.
"Oh no, someone fainted."
"Oh my god, you scared me."
"Everyone, please don't crowd. Someone has fainted."
"Call 120 now."
The people around the fainted old man quickly retreated to both sides.
A vacuum immediately formed around the fainted old woman, and no one dared to approach her easily.
The place where the old man fainted was just five or six meters in front of Mo Qingyan and others.
Mo Qingyan saw some people helping to make phone calls, calling for an ambulance, and some even shouted to call the organizers of the food festival, but no one dared to step forward to check on the old man's condition.
Mo Qingyan was about to go up, but Song Beichen grabbed him.
"Brother Mo, don't go."
"Why?" Mo Qingyan didn't understand and asked Song Beichen in confusion.
According to his education, if you see someone faint, the first thing you should do is to check on the person's condition and then help them as much as possible.
Tao Zui, who was standing by, said, "Brother Mo, be careful of being scammed. There have been a lot of such incidents recently, so be careful."
"Fake car insurance?" Mo Qingyan was stunned. He instantly thought of his own world, where there were also such things as fake car insurance.
However, Mo Qingyan had never encountered this before, so she thought it should be a rare incident.
After all, so many people here saw that the old man fainted on his own.
Mo Qingyan felt that as long as the other party was not stupid, there was no way he would turn around and try to scam him.
So, Mo Qingyan directly pushed Song Beichen's hand away and said, "It's okay, I have money. I can afford it."
He is rich, so even if he is hit by a scam, he can afford to pay the compensation.
The moment Mo Qingyan turned around, Song Beichen and others suddenly wondered why Mo Qingyan's back was three meters tall?
Mo Qingyan stepped forward to check on the old man's condition.
The old man fell backwards to the ground, and his head hit the ground hard.
The old man covered his left chest with his right hand and put his left hand in his trouser pocket. She was not unconscious, her eyes were slightly narrowed, but her brows were furrowed and her pale face revealed pain.
Also, her breathing was very loud and her chest rose and fell violently.
Mo Qingyan guessed that she might have collapsed suddenly because of a heart attack.
If that's true, then she must have medicine on her.
Mo Qingyan quickly reached out to take out the trouser pocket where the old man’s left hand had gone.
Sure enough, in the trouser pocket, I found a small black bottle.
On the small bottle, there are three big words "Jixin Pills".
The dosage is written on it: 5 pills each time.
Mo Qingyan opened the small bottle without any hesitation and poured out 5 mini pills. He gently pried open the old man's mouth and stuffed the pill in.
Then, Mo Qingyan shouted to the surroundings: "Water..."
Just as he finished speaking, a bottle of mineral water was handed over.
Mo Qingyan took a look and found that the person who handed her the water was Gao Moqi.
Mo Qingyan didn't have time to talk to him, saving people was the most important thing.
He took the water, thanked her, then gently lifted the old woman's head and fed her the water bit by bit.
Fortunately, the old lady still had some consciousness, and when she was fed water, she knew how to swallow it.
The five small pills were also swallowed along with the water.
Mo Qingyan only gave the old woman a sip of water, and after making sure she swallowed it, she stopped feeding her any more water.
Afraid she would choke.
Fortunately, the medicine worked.
Just one minute after taking the medicine, the pain on the old man's face began to ease, and his originally pale face finally turned a little red.
I finally had the strength to open my eyes a little, and my breathing became much calmer.
Seeing that the old man was finally fine, Mo Qingyan felt relieved.
But he suddenly felt his hands were a little wet and smelled a hint of blood.
Mo Qingyan knew that the old man had hit his head and it was bleeding.
"Make way, make way."
Finally, the medical staff arranged by the organizer arrived.
Mo Qingyan then handed the old man over to them.
When handing it to them, he also specifically reminded them: "The old lady hit her head and is bleeding. She also has a heart disease. I have just fed her some medicine. This is her medicine."
Mo Qingyan handed the old man's medicine bottle to the staff.
But the medical staff said, "You are her family member, why are you giving me the medicine? Why don't you come with us?"
"I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood. I'm not a family member of this old man. I'm just a passerby." Mo Qingyan didn't expect that she would be wrongly accused of becoming a family member of the old man.
The medical staff was puzzled: "If you are not a family member, how do you know she has a heart and her medicine?"
Mo Qingyan said: "I guess the medicine was found in her trouser pocket. The old lady hit her head and bled a lot. You should send her to the hospital as soon as possible."
After the medical staff discovered that the old man was really bleeding at the back of his head, they did not dare to delay any longer.
They quickly put the person on a stretcher and sent him away.
After seeing the old man being sent away, Mo Qingyan also breathed a sigh of relief.
After washing his bloody hands with the remaining spring water, he turned to Gao Moqi and said, "Thank you for what you did just now."
"You're welcome." Gao Moqi looked at Mo Qingyan deeply and asked, "Why?"
"Ah?" Mo Qingyan didn't react.
Gao Moqi asked: "Why save her?"
Mo Qingyan smiled and said, "Is there any reason to save people? If I want to save them, then I will save them."
"Aren't you afraid?" Gao Moqi asked him.
Mo Qingyan said confidently: "What are you afraid of? I have nothing but money. At worst, I can just pay some money."
Then, Mo Qingyan said, "Of course, if I didn't have money, I might not dare to save him. After all, in order to save someone, you need to have the capital to do so. Now, if you want to do good things, you also need to have the confidence, right?"
Mo Qingyan didn't think that she took the initiative to save people. Those onlookers who didn't step forward to save people were cold-blooded and heartless.
He knew very well that the reason he stepped forward to save people was because he had money.
If he were now penniless like the original owner.
He will be one of the spectators like everyone else.
That's not cold-blooded, it's just that, to be a good person nowadays, you need capital.
Without the capital, blindly trying to be a good person will only harm yourself and your loved ones.
Don't say that he thinks this way, it's alarmist.
There are indeed many examples from our predecessors.
Some people, after saving others, are slandered in return. Not only do they have to pay compensation, but their reputation is also ruined.
Some people saved others with good intentions, but not only ruined their reputation, but also lost their own lives.
So, if you want to save people, be prepared to pay the price.
Gao Moqi agreed very much with Mo Qingyan's words.
Because he thought so too.
Gao Moqi said to Mo Qingyan: "I hope your choice this time is the right one."
"Whether it's right or not, it's my own choice. I will naturally bear the consequences myself."
Mo Qingyan wouldn't be afraid.
Of course, in his heart, he was more willing to believe that the old man just now was a good person.
Gao Moqi nodded, then changed the subject and asked, "Are you still selling your tea today?"
"Yes, it will be sold at 4 pm." Mo Qingyan said to Gao Moqi, "But you don't have a chance. Because all my tea has been reserved."
Gao Moqi nodded: "Okay, I'll go tomorrow."
"Okay, then I'll make you, Judge Gao, a super large cup tomorrow. Just consider it as returning the mineral water to you." Mo Qingyan raised the half-empty bottle of mineral water in her hand, her smile as bright as spring.
The whole person seems to be glowing.
Gao Moqi felt that the young man in front of him seemed really good-looking.
Afterwards, Mo Qingyan said goodbye to Gao Moqi and went to the supermarket with Song Beichen and others to buy kumquats, lemons and honey.
The people in the live broadcast room had a huge disagreement because of Mo Qingyan's words just now that saving people requires capital.
The debate was divided into two camps.
One group thinks that what Mo Qingyan did was right, and what she said was also right.
One group thinks that Mo Qingyan's actions were correct but her words were wrong.
The correct faction feels that saving people now is indeed a huge risk.
In the past, saving people was just saving people.
To save people now, you must have clear evidence that you are indeed saving people.
Otherwise, if the person who was rescued is ungrateful and repays kindness with evil, then you will be in trouble.
If you are not careful, your family may be broken up.
After all, this is not without precedent.
However, those who were on the wrong side raised objections.
They believe that not everyone is a bad person now, most of them are still good people.
If everyone had to weigh their own assets before saving others, that would be so cold-blooded.
Think about it, if it was your own parents who fainted on the side of the road, they would have been safe if a passerby had lent a hand.
As a result, because passers-by had no money to save people, they chose to stand by and watch. If this eventually leads to the death of your own parents. Then how would you feel?
To watch someone die without helping is the most cold-blooded and heartless thing to do.
Both sides have their own reasons, so no one can convince the other.
In fact, it is just as Mo Qingyan said, to save or not to save. It’s your own choice, as long as you make sure you don’t regret it, that’s all.
However, Mo Qingyan did not expect that his luck would be so bad.
Such a low probability thing actually happened to him.
In the afternoon, he had just finished selling kumquat lemon tea and was preparing to pack up and go back.
A person who claimed to be the old man's relative ran into the coffee shop angrily.
The leading middle-aged man rushed directly to Mo Qingyan and questioned him, "Are you the one who hit my mom? You knocked my mom down and actually left her alone in the hospital without even looking at her. Do you still have any conscience?"
"You said I hit your mother?" Mo Qingyan's face suddenly turned bad, "I think you misunderstood. The old lady fell down due to a heart attack, not me."
Song Beichen immediately stepped forward and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother fell down by herself. How can you blame it on our brother Mo who knocked her down?"
"That's right, our Brother Mo was clearly saving people. If it wasn't for our Brother Mo saving your mother, your mother would probably be in the morgue instead of the hospital now." Yin Yiyi spoke very directly, without any mercy at all.
"Nonsense." The middle-aged man pointed at Mo Qingyan and cursed, "What do you mean you saved my mother? It was obviously you who knocked my mother down, and you still want to deny it? I tell you, if you don't give me an explanation for this matter, you can't leave today."
After saying that, the middle-aged man grabbed the straw bucket on the bar and threw it to the ground.
The lid of the straw bucket was smashed open, and the habits inside were scattered all over the floor.
Mo Qingyan's pupils contracted instantly when she saw this.
Those who came with the middle-aged man began to shout in agreement.
"That's right. If you don't give us an explanation, we will destroy this store."
"None of you can leave today."
"Damn it, how dare you?" Song Beichen was instantly furious.
Tao Zui also stepped forward immediately, his eyes coldly saying: "Just try and see if you dare to move anything here again."
The security personnel arranged by the program team immediately pulled out their electric batons and stood in front of Mo Qingyan and others, surrounding the group of people.
Prevent them from harming Mo Qingyan and others.
When the group of people saw a group of tall security guards holding electric batons, their arrogance suddenly wilted.
The old man's son saw this and immediately shouted, "Don't be afraid. If they dare to attack us, I will call the police immediately. Don't be afraid. They dare not touch us."
His wife stood up and put her hands on her hips, pointing at Mo Qingyan and scolding, "You little bastard, you were born by your mother but not raised by her. I'm not afraid of you. If you have the guts, beat me to death. Otherwise, I will never let you off easily today."
The couple's risk-taking attitude immediately gave others courage.
"That's right, today we have to fight. You knocked down an old man, and we came to you to ask for an explanation, but you actually wanted to use force against us? Is there any justice in this world?"
"You guys can't win the argument with us, so you're going to attack us?"
"Don't think you are right just because you are in numbers. We are not afraid of you."
"If you don't give us an explanation for what happened today, we will fight you."
