Chapter 3 Can You Eat So Much?!
Walk out of the mall and look around. The elevated cars are parked in a haphazard manner, and people who get out of the cars and flee are interspersed. The sound of crashing cars, the sound of sirens one after another. There were people in straight suits and slippers in the crowd, and there seemed to be some kind of strange equality at the moment.
"We ...... What to do? Wang Yiyi muttered quietly.
Qin Jue raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Wang Yiyi's cheeks, rolled his eyes, and smiled. Suddenly, his face froze, his mouth made a clattering sound, raised his stiff arm, and stretched out his slender white fingers to touch Wang Yiyi's cheek.
"Ahh Wang Yiyi slammed her cheek and screamed in shock.
Qin Jue raised his slightly cold fingers and gently poked Wang Yiyi's round face from between his fingers.
Realizing that he was just being tricked, Wang Yiyi was so angry that he crackled with his backhand. Qin Jue called out "oops, oops" in his mouth for a while, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
After such a fuss, Wang Yiyi was finally not so nervous. In her heart, Qin Jue is a little passable, especially after her parents had an accident.
Qin Jue's parents died in an accident when she was still a minor, leaving a sum of money. In addition to the monthly living expenses and tuition fees, she will also receive a sum of money when she gets married, has a child or starts a business. It's just that most of the anxiety in life is arranged clearly.
The result of such an accident for Qin Jue is that she will take the initiative to avoid changes and risks. So, she got a job as a university journal editor. Work every day, and you don't need to work overtime, or even rush for a promotion or raise. is not like Wang Yiyi, who is eager to fall in love or enter marriage. She seems to be going to live her life so peacefully and ordinarily. Best, no surprises.
Still, the unexpected happened, in a way that no one could have predicted.
But she seemed to be coping well. Wang Yiyi always knew that she would never be left behind by Qin Jue, and when she was in danger, she would even be the one who chose to stand in front of her.
Sometimes she feels that she is the one who is willing to hide in a corner of the eggshell, probably relying on her relatives and Qin Jue to protect herself all the time. The reddened circles in her eyes still can't hold back the tears, no matter what the world has become now, she will also be the friend who will never leave Qin Jue.
Qin Jue has a few locks of hair stuck to his face, his height of 170 is thin and powerful, and the physical fitness brought by insisting on sports shows good explosiveness and tolerance at this time.
"We still have to find a place to stay tonight, and the car can't be driven on the road." Qin Jue looked at the cars that were crammed with scattered cars on the highway, and he couldn't get through at all.
"You also have to find a pharmacy, and preferably bring some water and food." Wang Yiyi took out her mobile phone from her bag, but there was still no network signal.
"It's likely that the power outage will also be sooner or later. There is a neighborhood two blocks from here, and there should be a pharmacy and convenience store nearby. Qin Jue pointed to the back street. There are very few people in the back streets of the mall, and they are generally small roads for unloading, parking, and loading and unloading garbage.
"We follow the path, and it should be safer in a place with fewer people." Qin Jue picked up Wang Yiyi and walked down the back street.
The backstreets were much quieter, but every time they passed through an intersection or entrance, it was like passing through a dark hole, and something lurked in it, and the darkness would surge with their breathing.
Across the back street is an alley in the old town, and the city center with its high-rise buildings is like two worlds. The houses in the alley, no more than two stories high, are crowded next to each other.
At the mouth of the alley, there is a pharmacy with a door face only one person wide, the red paint on the wooden door frame is no longer discernible in its original color, and the threshold on the ground is stepped out of a shiny dimple, and the age of the store can be seen.
Qin Jue stepped in first. The pharmacy as large as a concierge was crowded with people at this time, and the closest to the door on the container were colorful family planning supplies. The pink, blue box is neat and tidy at this time.
There are men, women and children in the shop, and the bustle is very different from the silence outside. It was crowded and couldn't turn around, and people were shouting and rushing for the medicines they needed.
Qin Jue relied on his tall and thin stature, squeezed to the innermost part and got a large bag of gauze. Half of the iron door of the storage cabinet was about to be torn down, and it was dangling. The anti-inflammatory drugs on the shelves inside have been taken away, and there are still some sporadic vitamins and unintelligible pills left. As she turned around, she saw a man in the corner of her eye holding an unopened box of anti-inflammatory drugs.
She immediately reached out and grabbed the man's arm, and looked at him earnestly with wet peach blossom eyes: "Big brother, can you give me a box?" I'm injured and need some anti-inflammatories. ”
The man looked her up and down, saw the black tooth marks and wounds on her arms, her obviously reddened eyes, his face suddenly turned to horror, and the hand holding the medicine box twitched hard, and ran out of the door quickly. Qin Jue was staggered by the huge pull.
Seeing this, Wang Yiyi became angry and scolded: "Why is this person like this? Can you eat all this with that? ”
The bustling small pharmacy suddenly fell silent, and people noticed Qin Jue who came in and the blackened tooth wound on her arm, and they all showed frightened expressions. Then I don't know who screamed, and then the crowd fled without hesitation.
Qin Jue and Wang Yiyi looked at each other, looked around, and there was nothing left in the empty pharmacy, so they had to return to the alley, only the bag of gauze that Wang Yiyi had just grabbed in their hands.
"There's a vegetable market on the other side of the alley, and we should be able to get some stuff there. It's impossible to smash and rob them all. Wang Yiyi took Qin Jue's hand as she spoke, and was about to leave, when she suddenly felt that the temperature of her fingers was very high.
She immediately turned around and raised her hand to touch Qin Jue's sweaty forehead.
In just a short period of time, Qin Jue's face was already covered with beads of sweat, his face was pale, and his lips were completely gone. Her long hair was glued to her forehead and neck, and her dark eyes were still staring at her in black and white.
"I'm fine, let's go. Otherwise, if it is dark, it will be difficult to find a place to hide. Qin Jue's eyes were quiet and calm, but Wang Yiyi knew in her heart that it was not a way to resist.
At this time, the alley was empty, and there were no people who used to get off work, leave school, or buy groceries, and it was unusually quiet.
The remnant sun was like blood, and in the alley like a road, only the hurried footsteps and wheezing of the two people remained. The shadows of the trees on the concrete wall were stretched long, trembling gently with the wind, like the outstretched fingers of something, chasing after them.
Running out of the alley, the door of the vegetable market is open.
Inside, like the pharmacy, has been swept away. The vegetable stall fell to the ground crookedly, and the sparse vegetable leaves, melons and fruits were trampled into a puddle of mud.
