After the supplies on the ice were moved, the survivor team regrouped at the West Gate.
Next came the time to do my side jobs.
Liu Kai got up and was about to take something out of the snowmobile's trunk.
But Wang Ning stopped him.
"Wandering Merchant, are you about to trade something else? Please wait a moment."
After saying this, Wang Ning called her husband, Yan Yi.
Amidst the somewhat complicated gazes of the crowd, a small black box was dragged out from the canopy of the green trees that had not yet been submerged by ice.
The box was moved to Liu Kai and opened.
Inside, a dazzling golden light shone through; it was a dense collection of gold jewelry!
When the team members saw the gleaming gold, a look of pain and reluctance appeared on their faces.
Of course, they all have their own judgment on whether life or money is more important.
At this time, you absolutely cannot be stingy with material possessions.
If they were richer, they would definitely spend it all on buying things!
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ning handed over a note.
"The box contains 30 kilograms of gold and 8 kilograms of platinum, and the list contains what we need."
No winter clothing, no tobacco or alcohol, and no fuel-powered mobile phones.
The list consists entirely of common medicines.
Liu Kai was surprised again.
It was obvious that all those gold ornaments were pieced together by the survivors.
I didn't expect that what Wang Ning said before was true.
They actually pooled everyone's gold, intending to first purchase supplies and then distribute them according to need.
He stared blankly at the list, then gave everyone a deep look.
Without saying a word, I opened the snowmobile's trunk.
I took out the medicines one by one from the medicine box according to the list.
They even deliberately added a little more.
Finally, carrying two bulging plastic bags and the list, he handed them to Wang Ning: "Check them."
Wang Ning couldn't explain why, but she felt an instinctive trust in the wandering merchant in front of her.
But this gold was not her private property after all.
Many of these donations came from elderly people who had passed away and made them free of charge before they died.
Of course, I wouldn't dare to joke around.
He quickly squatted down with a few others and started looking at the list.
After carefully counting, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"That's great! With these things, Grandpa Hu and the others are saved. Thank you, Mr. Wandering Merchant."
Only after Wang Ning confirmed that the supplies were correct did Liu Kai close the black box full of jewelry and pick it up.
A quick weighing confirmed that, as Wang Ning had said, it weighed at least 38 kilograms.
While everyone was happy, they were all startled by Liu Kai.
He easily lifted 76 pounds with one hand?
Ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd, Liu Kai placed the box on the snowmobile.
Now that the mission is complete.
He planned to say goodbye to Wang Ning and then leave.
But just then, a child's tearful voice suddenly came from afar.
"Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang, something bad has happened! Waaah... My... my grandfather is vomiting blood."
There was a little girl, about ten years old, crying.
She was wearing a large down jacket that was clearly disproportionate to her size.
They stumbled and ran this way.
Tears welled up in her eyes as if a broken string had been cut, but were frozen on her anxious face, as if she hadn't noticed.
The moment Wang Ning turned around and saw the little girl, she seemed to understand something.
His expression immediately turned rather unpleasant.
He quickly went forward and hugged the little girl.
Trying to soften her voice, she said, "Oh, little Weiwei, don't cry. Tell me slowly, what happened to your grandfather?"
"My grandfather was fine when he woke up, but just now... just now I don't know what happened, he suddenly vomited blood."
"Sigh, as expected... Has Dr. Huangfu gone to see him?"
The little girl nodded quickly: "Grandpa Huangfu has seen him, but he said that Grandpa's condition is deteriorating too quickly, unless he has surgery!"
At this moment, the surrounding crowd also gathered around.
Their expressions were also not good, and they started talking all at once.
"Poor little Weiwei, what will she do if the old man passes away too?"
"Mid-stage throat cancer isn't really a serious illness, but this damn snow and ice... sigh!"
"Yes, it's all fate. Let's all prepare for the old man's funeral."
Hearing what everyone said, the little girl cried even harder.
Wang Ning, holding the little girl, his face darkened, and he hissed, "Stop talking!"
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, her eyes lit up.
He quickly looked at the girl in his arms and asked, "Did Dr. Huangfu say what's needed for the surgery?"
The little girl stopped crying and quickly pulled another list out of her pocket.
"Oh right, Grandpa Huangfu asked me to come find you and ask if there's any way."
Wang Ning took the list, glanced at it, and stood up with a complicated expression.
Finally, she mustered up her courage and walked towards Liu Kai, who had not yet left.
After listening for a while, Liu Kai understood what was happening.
Seeing Wang Ning approaching, he was somewhat puzzled: "Could it be that you're hoping to buy medicine from me?"
Common medications are easy to handle, but surgery requires anesthesia.
This thing falls under the category of strictly controlled items.
Inside the hospital, they are under the hospital's jurisdiction; outside the hospital, they are under the jurisdiction of the anti-drug police.
He really doesn't!
At this moment, Wang Ning had already walked up to Liu Kai.
She also understood that the survivors in Qingshan Community no longer had a single penny to spare.
The harsh reality, however, forced her to try again.
Looking at Liu Kai with some hesitation and embarrassment, she said, "Mr. Wandering Merchant, could you... perhaps help me out?"
