Far away in Moscow

Chapter 277 Raise Your Head and Look Ahead
Tomorrow is the first day of normal business for the small shop. Since Natasha is not yet familiar with all kinds of situations in the market, Hu Yi will go with her to guard in the half of the box.

It was already 12:30 to see off Yu Feifei and the others.Hu Yi urged Natasha to go back to the room to sleep, and he hurriedly took a shower. As soon as he walked out of the bathroom, he heard Li Baoqing calling in a low voice in the small room: "Old Hu..."

"Hey?" Hu Yi wiped his hair and opened the door to enter the room: "You didn't fall asleep? How do you feel?"

"It's okay, if you don't move, you won't feel any pain." Li Baoqing lay face down on the bed, his voice was soft and slow, as if he was afraid that his waist would be affected by speaking forcefully.

"Then just lie on your stomach and don't move. It might be better if you sleep. Tomorrow, I will go to the market to buy some plaster, and I will stick it on when I come back." Hu Yi had never encountered such a situation, and was helpless in the face of Li Baoqing's injury .

"Buy another bottle of safflower oil." Li Baoqing paused, then asked feebly, "Feifei and the others left?"

"Well, I just left."

"Help me." Li Baoqing used his arms lightly to prop up his upper body slightly: "I want to take a shit."

Hu Yi put the towel on his shoulders, helped him out of the bed and carried him into the toilet, and supported him to sit down slowly.

Just as he was about to turn around and go out, Li Baoqing said again: "Old Hu, in your opinion, did that guy Yuri do what happened tonight?"

"This... I don't know the situation, so I don't dare to make a conclusion. But that guy must have the conditions and ability to collude with the horse bandits." Hu Yi held the washbasin in his hand and pondered for a while: "Well, in the final analysis, he is just a broker in the market , it is possible to do any dirty thing."

"Hmm..." Li Baoqing nodded, and sat on the toilet with a melancholy expression, thinking: "What are you talking about? Who are you?"

"Broker. It's...a middleman, an intermediary, who earns money by helping people match things up." Hu Yi smiled lightly: "It's all business without capital."

"Hmm..." Li Baoqing sighed with difficulty: "It's the first time I heard this word, and you are educated."

"Okay, let's talk when we have something to say, it stinks." Hu Yi frowned and walked out of the toilet, took a few bottles of drinking water and put them on Li Baoqing's bedside.After hearing the sound of the toilet flushing, he went to carry him back again.

Li Baoqing stretched his body and lay down slowly, closed his eyes and moaned for a while, then suddenly grinned, and two lines of tears flowed down the corners of his eyes: "Old Hu, this time I... really... completely finished!"

Having known each other for many years, Hu Yi has never seen him so disheartened as tonight, and he didn't know how to comfort him for a while.After Li Baoqing sobbed and cried for a while, he took a tissue and stuffed it into his hand: "Why are you crying? Don't think too much about it now. When you recover from your injuries and return to the market, you will be a good man again immediately, and the salted fish will turn over again." Isn't it just around the corner!"

"You don't understand. My goods are basically bought on credit from the boss and other people, and now I owe them a whole lot of debt." Li Baoqing wiped away the tears on his face, and blew his nose vigorously: "That's 30 Thousands of dollars! I only have a few thousand dollars left in all my belongings, so how can there be any chance of turning around?"

Hu Yi took a breath, knowing that his chances of regrouping this time were slim, but he still had to cheer him up: "Of course it is possible! You were lying on the bed just now, motionless like a dead person. Now go When you come back from the toilet and lie flat again, isn’t that just turning over? This is an omen, which means that in the future, you may have to go around in other ways to turn over. It’s a curve to save the country, understand?”

"Hey... I don't know anything except the market, what else can I do?" Li Baoqing forced a smile and said, "You boy, you have been eloquent and eloquent since we first met."

"Ha, that's because you are too stupid." Hu Yi's thoughts were brought back to the train from BJ to Moscow seven years ago, and he couldn't help shaking slightly, sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed and looking at Li Baoqing: " Well, do you remember the first time we came to Moscow by train?"

"Take the train? It's a little fuzzy." Li Baoqing frowned slightly: "I remember that I couldn't take a shower for a week, and my body was sticky."

"Well... that feeling is really fresh in my memory." Hu Yilue was in a daze, and then he shook his head: "I mean, one day you asked us what we want to do in the future. Do you remember what you said at that time?"

"Have I ever asked this kind of question?" Li Baoqing stared at the ceiling in a daze for a moment, then shook his head blankly and said, "I don't remember."

"You said you wanted to work in the embassy so that you could help your compatriots."

"Oh... you mentioned it like this, it seems... that's the case." Li Baoqing grinned and said, "You remember it very clearly."

"Of course, because after listening to it, I felt that you were quite capable of acting, so I was very impressed."

"Get out, I really thought so at the beginning."

"now what?"

"Now?" Li Baoqing was stunned: "Now... obviously there is no possibility. Well, what you think may not be possible."

"Yeah, at that time, you didn't expect to be doing takeaway, let alone selling goods in the market?" Hu Yi's eyes were full of encouragement, and he reached out and patted his chest lightly: "The same Reason, what will the future look like, is it something you can think of right now?"

"Then...I..." Li Baoqing was stunned for a while, then rolled his eyelids and smiled lazily: "Got it. Anyway, these years... Although your kid's words are not very pleasant, there is still some truth."

"It's good to know. Since the matter has already happened and it is irreversible, let it pass as soon as possible. You can rest assured, don't cry, look up and look forward!" Hu Yi let out a long breath, and sighed impatiently: "Hey, I have to get up early tomorrow morning, so I sacrificed another half an hour of sleep in order to coax you to sleep!"

"Fart, grandpa doesn't need you to coax!" Li Baoqing cursed angrily, and threw the ball of paper covered with snot and tears at Hu Yi: "Hurry up and pull out your butt!"

Hu Yi laughed and got up and walked to the door, when he turned around and saw that Li Baoqing's face was still listless, he pouted at him: "Hey, I tell you a good thing, don't you can't sleep - Feifei will come to take care of you tomorrow. "

"Feifei?! Really?! Oops—" Li Baoqing raised his body violently, and immediately lay back in pain.Hu Yi ignored him, turned off the light and went back to the bedroom.

The bulk goods stalls in the market usually open at 05:30 in the morning and close at three or four in the afternoon.Hu Yi and Natasha struggled to get out of bed after only sleeping for about four hours, washing and dressing with exhaustion.

Natasha made two cups of coffee, Hu Yi finished cleaning up, and walked into the cabin lightly before leaving. Li Baoqing saw that although his brows were tight and his breathing was heavy, he was still sleeping soundly.

He rushed to the market by car, tossed in and out of his own stall all morning, and went back to Fu Jiahui's box to do all the work. Hu Yi was a little exhausted. After lunch, he sat on the recliner at the door of the box and took a nap.

Someone was robbed last night, and things spread quickly in the market.Several nearby bosses gathered next to Uncle Yu's box and talked about what he had heard. Hu Yi was also forced to open his eyes and join in the discussion, but he never mentioned what happened last night, nor did he reveal that Li Baoqing was there. Rehabilitation at home.

Judging from the information gathered by everyone, at least hundreds of containers were taken away from the freight yard last night, and many of them failed to reach their intended destinations.

Most of them were stopped by the police—or unknown people in police uniforms—and some cargo owners encountered unexpected incidents on the way, and after a short delay, they could no longer find their trucks.

Li Baoqing and the others seemed to be the only ones who were robbed by the horse bandits. Those who knew the ins and outs of the incident believed that Yuri was the one who made trouble, and some even heard that he had been very close to the horse bandits.

This incident is not surprising. The big boss of the market already has a lot of contacts with the leaders of various horse bandits. Naturally, his subordinates also have such people who wander in the gray area.However, regardless of whether it is black or white, taking money to do things is regarded as the minimum professional ethics. It is despicable and shameless to take the money and then turn back and bite the client.

Everyone denounced with righteous indignation for a long time, but in the end it was nothing more than a mouthful.This matter can only end here, let it go.

Hu Yi didn't think too much about it anymore. After get off work, he bought some good plasters and a bottle of safflower oil, and invited an old Chinese doctor who was proficient in massage from around the market to treat Li Baoqing home.

Yu Feifei was washing vegetables and preparing dinner at home. Hu Yi invited the old Chinese doctor into the bedroom, then went to the kitchen and rolled up his sleeves. While helping to chop vegetables, he asked, "How is Baoqing doing today?"

"I still can't move, but I ate something at noon, and my spirits are pretty good." Yu Feifei said with a worried look: "I think he will take a few more days before he can get out of bed and move around."

"In good spirits? That's all thanks to you. If someone else was here, he would have been listless." Hu Yi smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work today."

Yu Feifei shook her head, handed the peeled potatoes to Hu Yi, and sighed softly: "I went back to the dormitory last night and couldn't sleep. When I closed my eyes, I remembered that when I was in Maji that year, Baoqing and I After school, I met a group of hooligans in a residential area. At that time, the gang of children threw things at us, and Baoqing stood in front of me without hesitation."

Hu Yi was stunned holding the potato, not knowing how to speak for a while.

"I seldom recalled the past before, maybe it's because I'm old." Yu Feifei smiled sadly: "Seeing him lying motionless on the bed today, using all his strength to even turn over, I feel really uncomfortable. "

"Feifei, you...you are..."

"It's nothing." Yu Feifei paused for a while: "Leave your key to me for the time being. I can still take care of Baoqing in the next few days."

"Of course that's fine." Hu Yixin smiled and said, "If you don't come, I'm really worried."

After washing and getting everything ready, the old Chinese doctor also finished the massage and walked out of the hut.Hu Yi hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Doctor, how is my friend's injury? Is it easy to treat?"
