When Min Hui saw this posture, how dare she run? Xin Qi already had a heart attack, and after drinking, he couldn't stand up straight, and couldn't fight at all.
The man danced the pickaxe so loudly that Xin Qi couldn't resist with his bare hands, so he could only dodge left and right and back again and again.
Min Hui hurriedly pulled down two bamboo sticks from the nearby fence, threw the thicker one to Xin Qi, and took the remaining one to join the battle group, screaming at the top of her voice while beating: "Help! Help! Someone is robbing!"
With an extra weapon in his hand, Xin Qi immediately counterattacked.
Although the robber's pick was powerful, he was wearing a helmet after all, so his movements were not very flexible.
The two fought seven or eight rounds. The sharp pick first poked two big holes in the bamboo stick in Xin Qi's hand, and then split it into pieces. In two paragraphs, Xin Qi swung the pick at the end and was held tightly by Xin Qi with a pair of sticks.
Min Hui took the opportunity to kick forward and hit the robber's knee. Min Hui hit her with a pickaxe—it was about to hit her on the head, Xin Qi rushed to block it—with a blunt "Poof!", the two fell into the paddy field at the same time.
The man was about to chase down with a pickaxe when the motorcycle came back with lightning speed. The person on it blew a whistle to signal him not to fight.
The man jumped on the motorcycle and sped away.
The two crawled out of the field, their bodies covered in black mud, like two water ghosts.
Although Xin Qi was standing, his body was crumbling, seeing his lips were black and purple, Min Hui was frightened and supported him: "Are you injured?"
There were several bruises on the chest, back, and back, probably caused by the scratches of the pickaxe. The most serious one was the left shoulder, where there was a blood hole two fingers wide. It was the last hit just now, to protect Min Hui. With a pickaxe, the blood continued to flow out.
Min Hui touched her body, and then remembered that her backpack had been robbed, and she didn't even have a clean cloth in her hand. She was so anxious that she helped Xin Qi sit down in the grass by the roadside, and let him lean on a tree stump. : "Sit here, I'll go find a bicycle!"
She remembered that when she came here, there were some farmers nearby. When she looked up, there was a family opposite the rice field. She didn't care about many, and ran over with muddy water.
It was lunch time, and a young daughter-in-law at home was lighting a fire with a doll on her back.
Min Hui explained her purpose and asked if there was any anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicine at home. The daughter-in-law said no, and went back to the house to find a tube of grass coral toothpaste , Said that everyone in the village used this to reduce inflammation, and found a bottle of purified water, two cloth strips and a diaper, and finally lent her a bicycle.
Min Hui rode back to Xin Qi's side, washed the wound with clean water, applied toothpaste around the wound, put on a diaper, and wrapped it tightly with a cloth strip.
Finally, they put him on the back seat of the bicycle, rode on the bicycle and took him all the way to Xingshui County Hospital.
The doctor heard that he had a congenital heart disease, so he didn't dare to give drugs indiscriminately. He cleaned the wound and bandaged it again, prescribed a box of oral antibiotics, and gave him a tetanus shot.
When Min Hui went downstairs to pay with the prescription, she realized that her bag and money were gone. The two rummaged through their pockets, took out all the change, and managed to scrape together enough money for the medical expenses.
After leaving the hospital, the two went back to the hotel, took a shower each, put on clean clothes, sat on the bed and thought about the solution.
"That bag is full of important things," Min Hui sighed, "our wallets, cards, mobile phones, ID cards——"
" My passport." Xin Qi added.
"You rest on the bed for a while." Min Hui stood up, "I'm going to call the police and try to get the things back as soon as possible."
"Let's go together."
"You just returned to China and are not familiar with these institutions, so I can go alone "
Xin Qi didn't argue, just smiled and said, "Okay."
Min Hui walked out of the lobby anxiously, got on her bicycle and went to the police station. The police registered seriously and said they would send someone to investigate, but because the robber was wearing a helmet and lacked basic facial features, the lost things might not be found for a while, so she was asked to go back to the hotel and wait for news.
Min Hui had no choice but to go back to the hotel. As soon as she entered the lobby, the front desk also came to urge the money, saying that they only paid for one night's room rate, and if they stayed for another day, they would need to pay a deposit. Min Hui had to laugh and said that she lost her wallet and was trying to find a way, hoping to have a day of grace. The front desk disagreed, so she had to go back to the room and find out her Sony computer and hand it to the waiter.
Min Hui's box originally contained 6,000 yuan in cash, which was Su Tian's last month's salary in Lanjinge. Worried about being unsafe on the road, she deposited it in my bank card. The mobile phone could have been used for WeChat payment, but the mobile phone was also in the stolen bag. Funds can be transferred on the computer, but it needs to be confirmed by text message on the mobile phone. The same is true for Xin Qi, so now the two are penniless.
"Don't worry," Xin Qi said, "I sent an email to my brother just now, asking him to help me find a solution."
Min Hui smiled wryly: "Isn't your brother in the United States?"
"He is a businessman, in mainland China Some friends. It’s midnight in North America time, maybe they’re asleep, and they haven’t responded yet.”
Min Hui carefully rummaged through her suitcase, but couldn’t find even a dime.
Seeing this, Xin Qi also rummaged through his suitcase, and suddenly smiled and said, "Look, what did I find?"
Spreading his palm, there was a coin on it.
"One yuan?" Min Hui stared at him, "One yuan yuan can't even buy a bowl of instant noodles."
"One yuan——" Xin Qi put his face in front of her, "With a thick skin, That's enough."
"The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, even if your brother can get the money, I'm afraid it will take a few days to get it."
Min Hui swallowed, got into the quilt and lay down, closed her eyes , "Let's enter starvation mode first. Move less and sleep more to conserve energy."
" Agreed."
The room was air-conditioned and the blanket was thin. The two hugged each other tightly, closed their eyes and took a nap. It was already seven o'clock in the evening when she woke up, and her stomach was growling with hunger. She searched around the room, hoping to find a piece of candy or biscuit, but only found a few mothballs. Brother Xin Qi didn't reply either.
"Go for a walk." Xin Qi said, picking up the coat beside the bed and throwing it to Min Hui, "There is a row of snack bars in front."

"It's so delicious!"
Just after seven o'clock, the night market opposite the hotel has opened. The barbecue shops are next to each other, and the air is fragrant with cumin. The two walked back and forth along the night market twice hand in hand, but they couldn't find any food that cost less than one yuan.
Finally turned to a steamed stuffed bun shop, Min Hui looked at the fragrant big steamed stuffed buns, which said one yuan and five ones, swallowed, and asked, "Boss, can your buns... be cheaper?"
"It's already very cheap."
" It’s cheap.” The boss is an old man in his sixties, black and thin, wearing a white apron with black finger prints all over it.
The aroma from the steamer is simply irresistible.
"We only have one dollar with us." Xin Qi took out the coin, "Why don't you sell us half a steamed bun?"
The old man snorted and said, "Well, I still have steamed buns here, one dollar. You can buy a steamed bun."
"Okay." Xin Qi stuffed the coin into his hand, took a steaming bun from Bai Xuanxuan and handed it to Min Hui.
Min Hui broke it in two: "Half for each person, let's eat together."
" I'm not hungry, it's all yours. The grain flower fish in the morning hasn't been digested yet."
Xin Qi rubbed her belly and dragged her to the store and said to the old man, "Boss, do you have boiling water here?"
The old man looked at them and shook his head: "Forget it, I still have some vegetable soup here, let me give you a bowl."
"Too Thank you."
Min Hui ate half a steamed bun in two mouthfuls, and the old man brought vegetable soup, the two of them looked at it and said it was vegetable soup, there was not even a vegetable in it, there was a layer of oil slick and a few grains floating on it chopped green onion. After taking a sip, it tasted really good.
"Boss, the soup is really delicious!"
"This is not an ordinary vegetable soup, it's chicken soup. It's boiled with several chicken racks, of course it's good!"
Min Hui stuffed the remaining half of the steamed bun to Xin Qi, but he insisted on not wanting it, saying that he was too full to accompany the wine at noon.
"It's impossible, even if you ate too much, you vomited it out later."
Min Hui said, "You're welcome, I'm already full."
"If you don't eat, you have to throw it away. I don't know how to eat anyway. " Xin Qi said lightly.
Min Hui glared at him, and had to eat the remaining steamed buns, so she handed him the vegetable soup: "If you don't eat the steamed buns, just drink the vegetable soup."
Xin Qi smiled and drank the remaining
vegetable soup And do.
Min Hui salivated with an empty bowl and went to the old... -->>
