Chapter 17: Clown Costumes
The smile of the mask can't hide my sadness.
Who can see the embarrassment and tears under my mask.
Kyoto, the central city of the Chinese Kingdom, is also a prosperous place for the political, economic and cultural development of the whole of China.
Gong Yuhan found a taxi at a black car market in southern China, and then spent two days and one night getting here.
Of course, this was decided the day after leaving school, and the fare alone cost him a third of his savings, but he did not regret it. He traveled to the major markets in southern China, but found nothing, and all the sources of information pointed to Kyoto, where he had to go.
And today, the fifth day of his arrival in Kyoto, the original vow has been slowly worn out in the face of the cruel reality.
Because of the epidemic, the city, which has always been busy with traffic, has gradually become less crowded, including accommodation, restaurants and other places are not open to the public. After a night on the streets, he finally found a small hotel that he ran privately, but the cost was surprisingly high.
It was only then that he realized how young and naΓ―ve his original thoughts were.
But since he came, he didn't want to give up, if he returned empty-handed, wouldn't he have suffered so much in vain? What's more, as long as he thought that Wen Buregret was still lying on the hospital bed at that time, and he was in danger, he felt that he should do something.
In a strange and huge city, it is already difficult to live, and it is even more difficult to want to need it.
Gong Yuhan has traveled to many underground markets, but for such a fresh face as him, no one will want to deal with him. What's more, there are so many people looking for this flavor medicine, and there are many richer than him, and the advantage he occupies is really pitiful.
"You... Cough... Here..."
A commotion sounded, and it was not outside his door, so Gong Yuhan didn't pay attention. However, with the intensification of agitation, I couldn't help but pull the curtains and look through the not too big window, only to find that there were several official cars parked downstairs.
"Routine check-ups?" I heard him mutter, "Looks like I'm going to change my place tomorrow... This epidemic is just a trouble, and the movement of people is strictly prohibited, and it is too unfriendly to me, a foreign population! β
In fact, this is the second time he has encountered such a situation, and after the last encounter, the result is that he was swept away by the innkeeper.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that at this special time node, the investigation is very strict, and if it is really found that the hotel accepts a foreign population like him, he will inevitably face a high fine. The reason why the innkeeper accepted him was to try to pay a high accommodation fee with a fluke mentality, and now that the law enforcers have come to say hello, the only remaining luck psychology will inevitably collapse soon.
"No matter, let's wait for tomorrow's notice, it's a big deal to find a place to live!"
Because of the experience of the last time, he was not so flustered this time, he knew how to solve the situation, as long as he was careful not to be caught by the law enforcers, it would not be a big problem.
The palm of his hand groped in his pocket for a moment, only to find that the original cigarette had been smoked completely, so he had to sigh helplessly. Looking downstairs, the bus had already gone away, so he took out a few ten-yuan change from his wallet and prepared to buy two packs at the front desk downstairs.
But at this moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and it turned out to be a ten-yuan note, which was engraved with a line of small characters at the moment.
"If you want to buy a lotus warmer, please contact Boss Mi 123XXX, the price is cheap and can be wholesaled!"
A humble advertisement, but after breaking into Gong Yuhan's eyes, his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. After taking a heavy breath, he didn't care whether it was true or not, he still dialed the phone.
"May I ask if it's Boss Liao? I want to buy some lotus warmers! The phone was connected, and Gong Yuhan asked straight to the point.
"You're typing! Doodle! β
Listening to the other party hang up the phone without hesitation, Gong Yuhan was shocked and confirmed the phone number, and there was no mistake.
Could it be that the information on the advertisement is fake? He wondered in his mind. After hesitating, he dialed the phone again, after all, compared to the current clueless, this is undoubtedly a clue that cannot be given up.
"Sorry, excuse me, I want to buy a lotus warmer, I don't know if you have it there?"
Unexpectedly, this time the phone did not hang up, the breathing on the other end paused significantly, and both of them fell silent. After a long time, at the moment when Gong Yuhan gave up hope and decided to take the initiative to hang up the phone, a deep male voice suddenly came.
"I'm sorry, I hung up the phone just now because I was worried that you were from the regulatory authority. You say you want medicine? I don't know how much to need! β
"Twenty-eight bags, that is, two courses of treatment, do you have the goods over there?"
According to the description of the lotus warm sac circulating in the market, the fourteen bags of this flavor medicine are a course of treatment, and generally speaking, it is necessary to eat at least one course of treatment to be effective. Because he was worried about the situation of not regretting it, Gong Yuhan naturally didn't dare to buy only one course of treatment, and it was always better to buy more.
"The current market price, 2,800 yuan for a bag, the amount of two treatments, you are sure you can afford it!"
The unit price is 2,080, and 28 bags is nearly 80,000 yuan, which is indeed not a small number. Although the expenses have been extremely large recently, Gong Yuhan has roughly calculated that the savings in his hand and the borrowed money still have about 100,000 yuan left.
"No problem, you can!"
"Alright, so be it. I can't tell you on the phone for a while, it's better to trade in person, so let's do it, tomorrow you come to No. 76 Panliangyuan..."
......
They didn't know about Kyoto, after all, at this special point in time, the dissemination of information was also extremely closed.
The deterioration of her condition happened in the early morning of this day, and her warm eyes were sprinkled between the beds, but her heart was very depressed. Her face was almost pale, especially the moment she got up, and the weakness in her limbs made her feel even more flustered.
Several doctors in protective suits quickly entered and exited her isolation room, and one by one the testing equipment was carried over, and it was clear that the situation was indeed urgent.
At that time, Lin Yuyuan only had a sense of powerlessness left in his heart, and at this time, he realized that he couldn't do anything. In the face of the ravages of disease, he didn't even have the courage to go out to find medicine like Gong Yuhan
"Gong Yuhan, you Yadi is coming back soon, what you promised, you must do it!" Lin Yuyuan shouted anxiously in his heart, he desperately hoped that Gong Yuhan could bring back the medicine.
It's a pity that God played a joke with him again, Gong Yuhan has not returned yet, but he has no regrets about being diagnosed. It was only highly suspected before, but this morning's tests proved that she had indeed been infected with the new disease.
