Mu Lan temporarily parked the car in the open space next to it, "You guys sit in the car, I'll go down and take a look."
Lou Di went down with him.
Opening the window and seeing the things on the ground, Zhou Xia wondered: "Toilet paper, water, energy drinks, bread, instant noodles, compressed biscuits, high-calorie chocolate and candies, canned meat and cheese..."
"It's strange, Jin Yan, you said he just bought food, why did he buy things like wrenches and flashlights?"
Zhou Xia turned around and didn't see Jin Yan. Instead, Li Dong was sitting in the seat before Jin Yan and looking out the window, with the corners of his slightly raised lips looking like he was sneering.
She didn't think much about it. When she found that Jin Yan got out of the car to help, she also got out of the car.
Mu Lan and the others did want to help, but when the man in black saw them approaching, he kept backing away as if he had seen something terrifying.
Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Jin Yan called out to Mu Lan, and Lou Di immediately stood next to Jin Yan to protect her.
"Sir, please don't get me wrong. We are not trying to snatch things from you. We just want to help you pick things up," Mu Lan said.
The other party lowered his head and did not look at them. His voice sounded hoarse through the mask, but he could not refuse, "No, no need."
Jin Yan glanced at the items on the ground and suddenly said: "Okay, we won't get close and we won't touch your things. I just want to ask, shopping is so convenient now, why do you buy so many things at once?"
The man's aura became obviously dangerous, and his eyes towards Jin Yan became a little more wary.
Jin Yan said nonchalantly: "Are all kinds of stay-at-home competitions popular recently? I'm also a stay-at-home family, and I often don't go out for ten days and a half. Seeing that the items you bought are similar to what I usually buy, I thought it was because of a chance encounter. As a fellow-minded person, I don’t mean to offend you, so please don’t be angry.”
After saying this, the fierce and vigilant aura on the man's body faded away again.
He raised his head and looked at Jin Yan, his eyes lingered on Jin Yan's wrist for a moment, and then looked at Jin Yan's face. It seemed difficult to understand that Jin Yan belonged to the same family as them.
When he wanted to look again, Lou Di had already stepped forward to block his view.
The man put away his eyes and said while packing his things: "This is not a stay-at-home competition. This is a discount item I bought from a dozen supermarkets."
After saying that, he became silent again.
After packing up his things and preparing to leave, the man turned around in vain and said as if unintentionally, "It's going to get dark."
The man's figure became smaller and smaller, farther and farther away. The load of goods he was dragging with all his strength seemed so small and insignificant.
A minute later, the man's figure disappeared completely, but his voice that sounded like he was chanting a curse floated over again, "It's going to get dark, don't believe it."
Jin Yan was startled, feeling increasingly uneasy.
At this time, Lou Di's voice came to his ears, "What's wrong?"
Jin Yan hesitated for a moment and then shook his head. Lou Di saw what she meant and didn't ask any more questions.
After that, Mu Lan took them to eat delicious food. Although there was no such topic as "Zai Xu's recipe in Haicheng" on the Internet, there was a long queue outside every store.
Seeing this scene, even Zhou Xia, who wanted to play, lost his mind, let alone other people who had no intention of playing in the first place.
Zhou Xia: "There are so many people, and I don't know how long the queue will last. Let's just buy some food and go back to the hotel to rest. We're exhausted."
"There seems to be seafood over there, and there are relatively few people queuing up. How about you wait in the car while I buy some seafood?" Li Dong said.
Lou Di and Mu Lan said at the same time, "No need..."
The two looked at each other, but Mu Lan didn't say anything. Lou Di said, "I'm allergic to seafood, and Yan Yan has a weak stomach and can't eat seafood. If you eat it, I'll buy it for you."
Li Dong was a little strange, "I remember you said before that you eat seafood..."
"I didn't have allergies before, but after I got sick from a virus last year, I started to have allergies." Lou Di explained casually, "Are you going to eat it or not?"
Li Dong: "Forget it then, don't bother, I don't really want to eat it either."
"You clearly said you wanted to eat good seafood when you came here." Zhou Xia said.
Mu Lan: "You guys get in the car and wait. I'll buy it and take you back to the hotel later."
He trotted over and got in line. After about ten minutes, he finally reached Mu Lan. Just as he was about to pay, a person took the portion before him.
When Mu Lan turned around, the person who snatched the things had disappeared. Instead, a lot of soup was sprinkled on him.
The man in charge of the cashier was full of apologies, "I'm sorry, sir, for staining your clothes. We will refund you the amount of money you just ordered. We will treat you and your friends to a free meal and pay for your dry cleaning fee." What do you think?"
Mu Lan said no, "It's not your fault."
The man at the cashier was a little surprised, "To be honest, I don't know who this robbery was. It's strange to say that although our security in Haicheng is not as good as Central City, it is definitely one of the best among other cities. , we are also very puzzled when this happens.”
"Didn't you call the police?" Mu Lan asked.
The man sighed, "Why not? I have reported it countless times, and the police have also found those people, but what can they do? They are all people at the lowest level. It is common for them to be hungry three times a day and nine times three days. They are caught After getting up, I feel happy, after all, even the lowest prison environment is cleaner and safer than the place where they live."
Mu Lan chatted with the man for a while, and more than ten minutes later, he got the meal.
As soon as I turned around, I saw a few people next to the queue.
"Cousin, what are you talking about?" Zhou Xia asked curiously.
Mu Lan told what he had just heard, and Li Dong sighed and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Now ninety-nine percent of the resources are in the hands of people in the upper class. Just like Jin Yan's year Their pocket money can support a hospital. If these people can share..."
"What do you want to say?" Lou Di interrupted her unhappily.
Li Dong was startled and seemed to realize what she had said. She immediately said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else. I just saw how pitiful they were..."
Lou Di sneered, "Who in the upper-class area has no money? The Li family is also rich. If you really pity them, do something practical, instead of talking about pity and hoping others will pay for your kindness."
Li Dong began to apologize again, explaining that she had made an unintentional mistake and had no intention of asking Jin Yan to donate generously, but this time even Zhou Xia heard the implication of her words.
Jin Yan ignored Li Dong and asked Mu Lan, "Brother Mu, when did the robberies start happening so frequently?"
"Just this month, my friends and I have encountered each other seven or eight times. We are so unlucky." A girl in line complained.
And the month started with a heavy rainstorm that lasted for a week.
