Chapter Seven Suspected Illnesses
If the small warehouse could not hold it, he would have wanted to order more. What made him most happy was that in the afternoon, half of the stock was sold out. When he called to order again, the other party told him that the storage capacity was seriously insufficient and the goods could not be shipped immediately.
Cashing will have to wait ten days. It seems that everyone everywhere has entered a purchasing frenzy.
Ji Yin did not go home immediately, but went to the pharmacy next door and bought two dozen masks and two bottles of alcohol. Of course, she later realized that these did not work at all, or were useless.
As expected, Ji Yin met Qi Yong at the door of the unit downstairs from her home.
"Qi Yong, thank you!"
"Sister Yin, please be polite, you are a neighbor." Qi Yong is a young man in his early twenties, and his strong body is the result of daily exercise.
"I want to buy some more things. Uncle Qi asked me to tell you."
"Sister Yin, wait, let me write it down." As he said that, Qi Yong took out a small notebook from his pocket.
Ji Yin thought for a while and asked: "Do you have compressed biscuits and cans at home?"
Qi Yong replied: "They are all there. Everyone is grabbing instant noodles and rice oil water now, and no one wants these yet."
"Then give me five items, any flavor. Plus two boxes of instant noodles, mineral water, and ten bags of salt." Ji Yin said slowly, so that Qi Yong could remember it easily.
The reason why Ji Yin wants so many compressed biscuits and cans is because if it really gets out of control, the water, electricity, and gas may be cut off at any time. Rice and noodles alone cannot be eaten without fire, so it is better to eat food directly.
convenient.
"The mineral water is gone." Qi Yong stopped writing and said.
If you don’t have water, you can boil some tap water at home and boil it for drinking. This is not a big problem.
"Then let's get two boxes of Coke."
"Okay." Qi Yong finished recording, "I'll go back and deliver the goods to you."
"I'll give you the money when it arrives."
"good!"
At this time, two people who seemed to have difficulty walking passed by them and walked all the way to the fifth unit in the innermost building.
Ji Yin looked at the two figures in front of her and had an ominous premonition. She wanted to escape quickly. But she still forced herself to remind Qi Yong: "Qi Yong, you'd better wear a mask when you go out, and treat the things you handle after touching them."
Disinfect items with alcohol, and it’s best to wear disposable gloves.”
Qi Yong gave Ji Yin a simple and honest smile, "Okay, Sister Yin."
Ji Yin quickly returned home and saw her parents looking at a pile of goods in a daze.
As soon as she came back, Fu Xue asked: "Yin, why did you buy so much? Can you finish it?"
"These may not be enough. We need to be prepared for the long term. I just met Qi Yong and I ordered some more."
Ji Qishui frowned and asked, "Is it so serious? There is no room at home to put it."
Ji Yin didn't want her parents to panic and hid it: "Let's go out as little as possible, at least until there is an antidote to this poison. Oh, you don't know that the small supermarket at the entrance of the community is full of people, all rushing to buy food. I can't see it.
It will be sold out tomorrow.”
Saying that, Ji Yin found disposable gloves from the small medicine box and put them on, and began to disinfect the newly purchased goods. After disinfection, she moved the goods to the balcony one by one. Just after finishing all this, Qi Yong delivered the goods again.
Came up.
"Sister Yin, I'm sorry, there is only one box of instant noodles left." Qi Yong said apologetically.
Ji Yin waved her hand. She had expected that there might be a shortage. Fortunately, compressed biscuits, cans and salt were all available. This is the most important thing. "It doesn't matter. Fortunately, I bought two boxes before. Qi Yong, please do the math."
How much is the total?"
Qi Yong took out a purchase order and handed it to Ji Yin, and Ji Yin paid according to the price on it.
Just as Qi Yong was about to leave, Ji Yin asked: "Qi Yong, your family runs a supermarket, are you familiar with the residents here?"
Qi Yong answered truthfully: "Most of the residents have some friendships. Is there anything wrong with Sister Yin?"
"I just want to ask you, do you know the two people we just saw going to unit five downstairs?"
Qi Yong thought for a moment and replied: "Oh, are you talking about the two brothers from the Huang family?"
"I don't know them either, but I just saw that their walking posture was a little stiff."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yong became nervous and asked in a low voice: "Do you suspect that they are infected?"
"I also speculate that seeing them has some similarities to the poisoning reactions seen on TV."
"You think so, but if it's true, then..." As he spoke, Qi Yong suddenly covered his mouth and popped out from between his fingers: "We won't be passed on by them, right?
"
"We haven't come into contact with them, so it shouldn't happen. But why don't they go see a doctor if they have a problem?" This is Ji Yin's biggest concern.
"Yes, they don't go to see a doctor and they wander around. If they are really infected, it won't be the end of all the people in our dormitory." Qi Yong responded.
Ji Qishui, who had been listening for a long time, interjected: "This is not simple. Everyone knows that if you get the disease now, you will be quarantined, and you may not be cured. It sounds like isolation, but it is actually a disguised form of detention.
, there is no time limit yet. Rather than being imprisoned without freedom, it is better to be free outside and enjoy the last moments of your life."
Fu Xue said angrily: "This kind of person is so irresponsible and doesn't care about the safety of the people around him."
Ji Qishui sighed deeply: "We can't blame them. Who is responsible for them? It has been almost two months since this poison appeared, but the country has been helpless."
Fu Xue was not happy when she heard this, pointed at Ji Qishui's nose and said: "You actually speak for such an irresponsible person. To detoxify this kind of poison, the country must be given enough time to research and cure it, and we can't vent our anger just because it can't be cured temporarily."
, this is also an attitude and moral issue."
Ji Qishui rubbed his nose and said weakly: "I'm not speaking for them, I'm just analyzing from their perspective."
Fu Xue wanted to say something else, but Ji Yin interrupted her parents' argument and asked Qi Yong: "Don't these Huang brothers have other people at home who are not afraid of being infected?"
Qi Yong, who knew them well, said: "I heard that the two brothers from the Huang family are two old bachelors with no relatives."
"No wonder!"
"No, I have to go to the neighborhood committee to respond. We can't spoil a pot of porridge just because of a grain of mouse droppings. By then it will be too late for us all to be infected." Fu Xue said and was about to change her shoes and go out.
Ji Yin stopped Fu Xue: "Mom, wait, I'll make a phone call first to consult."
At this time, Qi Yong also said goodbye, rushing back to remind his father not to let the Huang brothers enter his small supermarket.
Ji Yin stopped dialing the phone number and moved her mouth, but in the end she did not stop Qi Yong.
Preventing and protecting your own safety is more important!
Ji Yin dialed the phone, and soon the other party connected, and Gong Yu's low and magnetic voice came: "What's the matter, Ji Yin?"
