The dicine Grandpa Lou wanted was quite a mix.
There are three hospitals in this town, along with so rather large pharmacies. Liu Zhizhong and Ruan Yu went to many places and finally gathered all the dicines.
However, by this ti it was already dark, and riding the three-wheeler with a big cart full of dicine back to the village was indeed inconvenient, mainly because it wasn't safe. If an accident happened, a lot of the dicine could get ruined, especially since many of them were injections!
According to Grandpa Lou's earlier arrangents, the two didn't need to rush back to the village. They could stay overnight in town and then head back slowly in the morning.
But Liu Zhizhong said he had to do sothing in town, find so money or sothing, which might take two or three days. Grandpa Lou agreed to this. He was an elder, and Liu Zhizhong respected him greatly.
Liu Zhizhong was good at observing people and could always find sothing different in others. People like Grandpa Lou were rare in the area—well-read and understanding of the world.
Moreover, before Liu Zhizhong set off, Grandpa Lou discreetly gave him a handgun, just in case he needed it. After all, in the subtropical rainforest area, it's all about the law of the jungle, as those who know understand.
Liu Zhizhong was quite surprised. This handgun was old but very well maintained. He held it in his hand, fiddled with it a bit, disassembled it, and quickly reassembled it, as fast as lightning.
Grandpa Lou praised him, saying that he was truly a master at handling guns, having survived under the Warlords. He said he'd never seen anyone who could disassemble and assemble a gun that fast!
Because of this, Grandpa Lou believed even more that this young man called Chi Zhongshui was sothing extraordinary! So, in addition to the dicine money, he gave them so extra cash, around a thousand bucks, enough for them to eat, drink, and live in town for a few days.
Of course, Liu Zhizhong also didn't want Ruan Yu to drive the three-wheeler back to the village by herself the next day, carrying a cart full of dicine, which would be way too dangerous.
Moreover, Ruan Yu was so beautiful, if she ran into any bad guys on the way, like hoodlums or soldiers under the Warlords, that would spell big trouble.
Even though Ruan Yu dressed very plainly, with very old shorts and a short-sleeve shirt, she couldn't hide her natural purity! Plus, at the wonderful age of 18, she was like a budding flower, which man wouldn't cherish that when he saw it?
As darkness fell, Liu Zhizhong took Ruan Yu to a rather nice hotel in town, a courtyard residence with what seed to be decent security.
There were even two guards at the courtyard entrance with homade guns at their waists!
The three-wheeler could drive in, and there was still a place for parking.
Ruan Yu kept her head down, her face red, incredibly charming. After all, she'd never stayed in a hotel with a man before!
As for Liu Zhizhong, he maintained a kind of cool gentleness the entire ti, behaving with great poise, making a big impression on Ruan Yu's heart. This mysterious young man had a powerful aura, yet also gave a reassuring feeling.
Upon entering the hotel, Liu Zhizhong originally intended for them to have separate rooms, but Ruan Yu suggested it was too expensive and proposed a double room instead, which was nearly half the price.
This girl really knew how to live frugally, sigh...
Liu Zhizhong had no immoral intentions, so he agreed.
When they were paying for the room, the owner jokingly asked if they were a couple, suggesting just one single room with a big enough bed wasn't bad.
Ruan Yu blushed deeply and quickly explained, "Uncle, we're not a couple..."
