Chapter 16 Slum Health Stations

"How... What... What's wrong? I... I'm not... Have you already given the money? ”

Li Zicheng pretended to be scared and stammered.

Seeing his frightened look, the merchant smiled and said:

"Scared? I'm afraid that I shouldn't have come up just now to be a hero! I'll tell you right now, heroes come at a price..."

"What is the price of being a hero?"

The shopkeeper pointed to the wallet in Li Zicheng's hand, looked at it one by one and said:

"The price is to give me your wallet..."

"Yes, oh~ you wait a minute"

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he took out all the money in the wallet, then stuffed the money into his trouser pocket, handed the empty wallet to the shop owner, and said with a smile:

"Well, for you..."

"What the fuck are you playing with?"

The shopkeeper said angrily, the fat on his face squeezed into a piece.

"Oh? You're talking about the wallet, not the money inside! ”

Li Zicheng continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid, blurting out intentionally or unintentionally.

"Come on, grab the money on him for Lao Tzu!"

The shopkeeper angrily gave the order and asked the three big men to snatch all the money from Li Zicheng.

"You have to know that insatiable greed comes at a price..."

Li Zicheng's face gradually darkened, his eyes were cold, and he burst out with a terrifying murderous aura.

The three big men who were about to make a move were stunned and stopped moving forward.

When the shopkeeper saw them stop, he waved his arms and hurriedly urged:

"Why don't you do it yet? Come on? He's just bluffing, hurry up ... Above! If you don't do it again, believe it or not, I'll fry you squid! ”

When the three big men heard their boss's words, they began to slowly approach Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng glanced at the boy lying on the ground and was dying, and said to the three of them:

"Hit the streets... lest the fight get too fierce and destroy your shop, I can't afford to pay for it..."

After speaking, Li Zicheng retreated to the street, and the three big men followed.

"Is it one by one? Or are we going to die together?"

Li Zicheng glanced at the three of them with deep and dangerous eyes, although he was injured, he still had the confidence to make a decision, and he would knock them all down within five moves, after all, the guards of the southern capital were comparable to the front-line commandos.

"Don't talk nonsense with him, let's go together!"

After the big man standing at the front finished speaking, his body sank slightly, his legs bent his knees, tightened his core, concentrated all his strength on his legs and shoulders, and pounced on Li Zicheng.

And Li Zicheng didn't want to take it, after all, he was injured, if he took his full punch, wouldn't it be looking for death?

So, he turned his body to the side, and the big man's fist flashed past the tip of his hair, and then kicked the comer's knee, which was kicked and dislocated.

"Ahh

The big man fell to the ground in pain, covered his dislocated knee, and cried out heartbreakingly.

"Heh... can only use brute force, without any fighting skills, and if you fight me like this, isn't it to send you to death? ”

Li Zicheng rubbed his fists disdainfully, turned his head to look at the other two big men who were about to make a move, and saw that they were looking at him in surprise, one of them was still trembling slightly, and then said:

"What? Scared? Don't dare to fight? If you're afraid, send someone to me, or else..."

Seeing this scene, the shopkeeper on the side knew that he had met a ruthless man today, and said to the other two big men:

"Give him the man, and we'll go!"

Then he closed the door of the shop and prepared to run into the alley.

"Hey, wait a minute."

Li Zicheng helped the boy up against the wall and blocked their way forward.

"What else do you want to do? Didn't I give it back to you? ”

Seeing Li Zicheng chasing after him, the shopkeeper's body trembled, and his voice asked with a little fear.

"We've settled the score, but how are you going to calculate his medical bills?"

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, he pointed to the boy who was trembling against the wall.

"He... He stole ... I... My stuff, hit him... He's a lesson... Teach him a lesson."

The shopkeeper glanced at the boy in the distance, then snickered at Li Zicheng, who was looking at him, and asked cautiously:

"That's... That... So what do you want? ”

"How? Of course, it's a loss of money! ”

"Compensation... How much to lose? ”

After the shop owner said this, his heart was like a knife, and he looked at Li Zicheng with a reluctant face.

"One hundred..."

Li Zicheng gestured with his hand to one.

"Huh? A hundred?"

"What? Think it's low? Then two hundred! ”

Li Zicheng learned what the shop owner said before, and said to him with a smile.

"Don't, a hundred is a hundred..."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he reluctantly took out the 100 yuan bill from the inner pocket of his coat and just got it.

Then he went on to ask:

"That's... That... Then I can go now, right?"

"Hmm..."

Li Zicheng took the money, nodded, ignored him, and turned back to check the little boy's injuries.

The shopkeeper also immediately took his three "bodyguards" and fled into the complicated alley.

The shopkeeper was still quite unconvinced, and scolded secretly as he walked:

"Boy, you'd better get out of here before dark, or I'll keep you from getting out of here forever..."

Li Zicheng did not know what the shopkeeper was thinking, so he took the boy to the welfare health post in the slum to check the injury, and the doctor told him that it would require at least a month of treatment.

"A month?"

Li Zicheng asked the attending doctor again.

The attending doctor nodded and said:

"Yes, he has internal bleeding and needs surgery, and I don't know if it can be cured, after all, our medical equipment is rudimentary, and the medicine is not complete, so..."

"This..."

There is only one health post in the entire slum, which was built with government investment, poor equipment, scarce medicines, and they did not lower prices because it was a slum.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Li Zicheng said:

"Operate on him first, and then I'll take him to the hospital in the city for treatment later..."

"Hmm... Yes, we'll help your friend stop the internal bleeding first... Please pay at the front desk. ”

After Li Zicheng paid the medical bills, he held the medical bill in his hand, and felt that the whole person was not good:

"Damn, two hundred and thirty medicine bills..."

You must know that now in the entire southern country, excluding the upper echelons, the average salary of soldiers and civilians is only 60 a month, these are the people at the bottom, and the soldiers do not include commanders and division commanders, and there is also a squadron leader of the garrison unit.

Although Li Zicheng didn't know why he wanted to save this boy, it may be that this boy had a similar childhood as him.

Before Li Zicheng was adopted by the Tan squadron, he was also like him, living secretly in the slums, often stealing or robbing food from shops, and of course he was often beaten, but as he is in today's situation, no passerby has come out to help.

Until one day, Tan Yu, who had not yet been promoted to the captain of the squadron of the city defense force, took the material team to save Li Zicheng, who had been knocked down and almost fainted, when he passed through the slum with the material team.

Since then, Li Zicheng and Tan Yu have entered the army.
