The first customer of the Pure Land Shop was actually an acquaintance.
Qi Hao came here with the hope of making a last ditch effort as he was at his wit's end.
When he saw the dilapidated yet towering concrete wall on Huayuan Left Street, he was completely stunned.
Although he rarely set foot in the urban village in the past, when he drove past here before the flood, there was no concrete wall, right?
Especially since this wall seems to be surrounded in a circle. You know, the water depth is more than ten meters now, so how high is this wall actually?
Such a high wall, it’s impossible that I didn’t notice it before?
When Qi Hao was doubting his life, he felt a flash before his eyes. The sign of the Pure Land Shop lit up. When the neon lights with a strong smell of country dogs lit up, Qi Hao was stunned.
That's... electricity...
It’s electricity!!
"Welcome." A pleasant female voice sounded.
Liu Lili was a little nervous because this was her first customer.
"Hello..." Qi Hao was still a little confused. If he hadn't been still soaking in the water, he would have thought that everything was still the same as before.
Liu Lili noticed that Qi Hao was covered in blood and his face was bruised and swollen, but the little girl's alertness reached its peak.
She maintained a calm expression, constantly comforting herself: Stay calm, don't panic! Sister Manman said that the store's defenses are invincible!
Besides, the counter is almost completely covered, just like a bank counter, with only a very small movable window, and the glass is also bulletproof, so she is not afraid even if the other party has a gun.
"Hello, what would you like to exchange? We only accept barter here, and we are currently accepting precious metals."
Qi Hao swallowed his saliva and said nervously: "I, I'm here to see Doctor Liu Yuliu."
Liu Lili was stunned.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qi Hao thought she had misunderstood, and quickly said: "I met him by chance before, and he said that I could come to him if I needed anything."
"It's okay if he's not here. Could you sell me some anti-inflammatory medicine? It would be even better if you have some sutures and hemostatic bandages."
As Qi Hao spoke, he took off the gold watch on his wrist and searched his pockets.
Liu Lili watched him take out a dozen 100g gold bars and some gold and silver accessories, which, judging from the logos, were all from luxury brands.
And the gold watch he first had seemed to be... a Rolex.
"Is this enough?" Qi Hao bit his lips nervously, until they turned white.
He had taken out all the precious metals he could find in the house.
Qi Hao knew very well that in the current situation, money and gold were not as valuable as a piece of bread, let alone medical resources.
It is normal if the other party is unwilling to exchange.
But... this is his last hope.
"Wait a moment, I need to ask for instructions." Liu Lili quickly came to her senses. She first collected the transaction items, then got up and went into the lounge, using her bracelet to contact her brother and Shi Man.
Seeing the things being taken away and the other party disappearing, Qi Hao's face turned even paler, and he wondered if he had been cheated.
But when I thought about Shi Man and the others I met that day, I felt that they didn't seem like liars.
But what happened these past few days... Neighbors who used to get along well with him, greet each other when they met, and send each other food during festivals, now broke into his house in groups, snatched his food, and even pulled knives on him.
He was no match for four people with his own two fists. If it weren't for his 'brother' helping him, he might have been dead.
But 'brother' was also injured and is in a very bad condition now.
Just when Qi Hao was feeling uneasy and hesitating whether to leave and find another solution, Liu Lili came back.
