The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 145

She lived for a long time without any research in this area.

I can't see what's so good about the so-called top gems.

She has a good feeling for gems, but doesn't spend too much money on gems.

Besides, top gemstones, such as pigeon blood ruby, are very expensive, and there is no place to buy them if you have money.

In addition, it is too luxurious to send to friends, and they are too embarrassed to ask for top-notch gems.

It seems that I chose mid-range sapphire, the color is sky blue, which is more suitable for young people.

It doesn't cost a lot of money, but it can't be said to be shabby, and it doesn't take up much space, and it's very lightweight.

Ling Xiao finally bought four gemstones, one for each person in the dormitory, each piece is about the same size and has its own characteristics in color.

These four gemstones are all polished, and they can choose the style to be inlaid on them when they go back.

After choosing sapphires, she looked at the super cheap agates, and finally chose a few to take home.

At the checkout, the people in the store specially gave her a discount as a thank you to the *Chinese from a foreign country.

This is thanks to the medical aid team in Africa who still persisted in their posts after the Ebola virus hit.

Ling Xiao didn't want it at first, because it felt like he was taking advantage, which was not good.

The people in the store said that after the discount, there is still some profit, not a loss-making business.

Ling Xiao didn't check out until he found out, and went shopping elsewhere.

Because the gifts of the two old people have not been bought yet.

It is better to use something like health care as a gift for the elderly.

There is a particularly famous Rooibos tea in Africa, which looks like black tea.

But it is a unique plant in South Africa. You can buy some and take it back as a gift.

In addition, she also specially bought some handmade soaps made from things extracted from Rooibos tea.

In this way, she purchased a lot of things, and she had to put a lot of shopping bags. After she finally stopped shopping, she realized that there were too many things. This gave her a headache. How should she carry so many things?

She actually turned into a shopaholic, could it be that she carried such a large amount of things to continue shopping?

She even imagined that appearance on purpose, and felt that this scene was a bit unwatchable.

With all these multiple shopping bags, how do you shop for the rest of the stuff?

Fortunately, it was the shopkeeper who told her that she could take away the purchased items.

Specially packaged and placed in the store.

Wait until Ling Xiao has purchased all of them and come to pick them up when he wants to mail them.

After hearing this, Ling Xiao was very curious. It turned out that all members of the medical team were like this.

The shopkeeper also recommended a kind of aloe vera tea, which is also very effective, and members of the medical team also bought a lot.

Ling Xiao ordered aloe vera tea as soon as he heard it, and you can buy more of it.

Grandparents can give it as a gift to their best friend.

After all, they are also friends for many years.

After payment, the shopkeeper puts the gift in a big cardboard box.

Take out two pairs of cards from the drawer of the cash register and give Ling Xiao one.

And another pair of cards of the same number is hung on the box tied with rope.

After finishing this, Ling Xiao went to another store to buy some so-called health care products.

This is a good item that the teammates of the medical team bought after a long period of time.

Ling Xiao naturally bought some according to Maohuahu. This is to take back to China for his own use, or as a gift.

With a lot of things, she followed the shopping strategy to a supermarket, where there were dried fruits that tasted very good.

It is said that it is especially suitable for foodies, so Ling Xiao also bought some because of itchy hands, and after looking at the things he bought, there are quite a lot.

The people in the supermarket naturally knew Ling Xiao's usefulness. They knew at a glance that she had bought it as a gift to be sent away, and recognized that it was from the medical team outside the city. They were even more happy and deliberately picked the best things.

Ling Xiao pushed the shopping cart out, found the odd job to help her transport the things, then went to the store just now to bring the specially packaged things, and after finding the post office, he paid the person in charge of the transport.

After arriving at the post office, even though the people at the post office knew that members of the medical team like to buy a lot of souvenirs, they were surprised because Ling Xiao bought too many gifts.

The people at the post office still carefully looked at the items exchanged by Ling Xiaotao to prevent certain contraband from leaving the country.

Ling Xiao stood aside and watched, this kind of rule cannot be violated, and after inspection, send it back to the country for peace of mind.

Looking at the pile of things, she has some black lines, probably because she hasn't come out to buy anything for two years.

She turned out to be like a shopaholic, shopping everywhere she went.

Like the kind of online shoppers who want to chop their hands at shopping festivals.

Fortunately, these things must be purchased.

She left a small amount of stuff.

Most things are sent away.

In fact, most of the teammates are after purchasing.

Just pack it up and send it away, Ling Xiao's approach is not very independent.

Waiting for her to post things from the post office, it was already noon.

She touched the part of her stomach, and now it was cooing and singing, and she felt a little hungry.

After looking at the direction, I went to a place around the corner, which was a cafe.

Western-style light meals are provided, and it is mainly for female guests to dine there.

She is still very grateful to the seniors who deliberately found the place.

Let the female compatriots in the team have a place to eat.

Some shops do not accept female customers according to religious customs.

When Ling Xiao pushed the door and went in, he heard the sound of wind chimes hanging high.

Business in the cafe is still very good, most of the seats are occupied.

Seeing Ling Xiao's arrival, the waiter in the store looked over and saw the sign at a glance.

He straightened his bow tie first, and the originally polite smile became a little more real.

Ling Xiao naturally felt the change, and saw the waiter walking up.

He said, "Ma'am, is it just one? Or are you having an appointment with someone else?"

"I want to eat alone, is there a place?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Yes, ma'am, please follow me," said the waiter

Ling Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Okay."

"Please sit down." The waiter pulled back the chair very respectfully.

Ling Xiao sat down very naturally, and said, "Thank you."

"Madam, what would you like to eat?" After speaking, he handed over a menu.

She looked at the menu carefully and said, "A well-done steak, and some pasta, that's all."

"Please wait a moment." The waiter wrote down Ling Xiao's request. Of course, it was the first time he saw a steak that was required to be well-done.

The person sitting opposite also took a look at Ling Xiao. This is a Caucasian woman. She also ordered steak. She likes to eat tender steak. It's good to have blood coming out when you cut it down.

Ling Xiao naturally knew that her behavior looked like a bumpkin to some people, but she didn't care, she just liked the familiar ones.

Although fully cooked food cannot prevent prions, it is absolutely safe and hygienic to prevent parasites and the like.

The person on the other side glanced at Ling Xiao, but she didn't expect that she didn't care about other people's eyes at all.

Then she naturally didn't have the idea of ​​saying anything, she was not familiar with Ling Xiao.

Naturally, he is not qualified, and he will not care about what other people do.

When she is away from home, she knows that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Everyone has their own ideas.

The idea of ​​wanting to dominate others is a bad idea.

In her early years, if she saw the steak that Ling Xiao said was very cooked.

You will feel that this is a bumpkin, and then look at her skin.

You will feel that sitting and eating with people of yellow race will be very cheap.

From the bottom of my heart, I feel that Ling Xiao doesn't know how to eat Western food, and I can't wait to draw a line with her.

She feels that she is tall and looks down on people of other races, but after being beaten by the society, she finds that she has changed.

After suffering from secondary illness, she traveled around the world and met more people. Only then did she realize that people should not be judged by their skin color, but by their hearts.

She felt that Ling Xiao was young, and she couldn't be sure. Chinese people were also younger than white people.

But Ling Xiao has an indescribable self-confidence in him, and he doesn't want to be a fledgling.

This made her unable to determine how old Ling Xiao was for a while?And that mark.

It made her think of the sick man in East Asia who used to be, but now he has become a lion.

Of course, she could tell that the whole cafe was treating Ling Xiao.

With respect from the heart.

She could tell, even if they didn't know her.

Looking at the mark on Ling Xiao's chest, she immediately understood.

As a traveler, she was very curious, why not go to that country to see.

After all, in many media promotions, she has always believed that orientals still wear braids.

Apparently, this person's various attire is different from the Chinese in the promotion, and he actually wants to eat steak and pasta.

Before, she heard that mainlanders can't even eat tea eggs. This is what the Chinese themselves said.

She also knew that she couldn't ask her own question rashly, the two just met by chance, and they would go their separate ways afterwards.

He shouldn't even have been looking at her with curiosity, but he was so curious that he would meet an oriental man on the African continent.

Ling Xiao naturally felt that the person opposite had been looking at him with a bit of curiosity, who told her to be straight.Ling Xiao had already looked at the other party when he sat down. Speaking of which, this very strong-looking woman should have been in the sun for a long time, and there are some freckles on her honey-colored skin.

She won't be too old, because her brown eyes are full of curiosity, not malicious, but Westerners look older, and they can't tell their age for a while. In addition, Ling Xiao looks Show the scuff marks on her fingers, this is a savage who can shoot.

Ling Xiao was not too surprised by this. A person who dares to travel must have a few brushes, otherwise women will only lead to murder.

After looking around, even if the person at the table looked at Ling Xiao with some curiosity, she herself started to read as if unconsciously.

This is what Ling Xiao is more interested in now. It is a fairly specialized computer magazine, in English.

The person on the opposite side was very surprised after glancing at it, she didn't understand what kind of book it was at all.

And the person on the other side watched it with gusto, ah!Still really understand.

"Ma'am, your dishes are ready," said the waiter.

After Ling Xiao heard it, he put away the magazine.

Take out an unopened bottle of purified water and start eating.

Seeing Ling Xiao's appetite, the people opposite were a little curious.

To put it bluntly, she thought this guy was going to pack it up and take it away.

You must know that Ling Xiao looks very slender, and women of her stature eat bird food.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao was eating for real, and she felt a little bit of joy in her heart that she was also a member of the eating family.

She is curious about the eastern countries, and she has been to many hospitals in the African continent before.

I once met a doctor from the East, and she was impressed that she had to see so many patients.

As a person from a developed country, it is surprising that a doctor sees so many patients a day.

The public hospitals in her home country have the advantage of low fees, but they have to queue up if they want to see a doctor.

The number of doctors in public hospitals is very limited in a day, and they don't see them whenever they come.

If you want to go to a public hospital to see a doctor, you must make an appointment with a doctor in advance before you can see a doctor.

Generally, it is normal to wait for seven or eight days, just wait.

If you have a particularly urgent illness, you can go to the emergency room.

But emergency room visits are absolutely costly.

Or go to a private hospital to see.

As a result, she ended up in some African hospitals.

I found out that I can see patients whenever I want, and those doctors are very busy.

She recalled meeting an oriental doctor with superb medical skills who also had this mark on his chest.

So is it possible that this very young woman I met today is also from that same organization.

Thinking of this, her gaze became even more curious, and Ling Xiao, who had been stared at, didn't feel any malice, so she didn't care, and she couldn't let people not look at it.

After lunch, she found that the business of the cafe was still very good, and some customers came in and there was no place.

Now that she had finished eating, she went out and prepared to take another look, just in time to give up her seat,

She is going to get some more fruits and vegetables to change everyone's taste.

Ling Xiao walked out of the cafe and walked along the road.

As I was walking, I saw a small stall.

There are a lot of bananas on it, so go forward.

There are many places in Africa where fruits are the staple food.

When she was in China before, she knew to use bananas to make sweet soup, or fried bananas.

After arriving in Africa, I realized that there are also baked bananas, which are the main food.

The people in the medical team couldn't accept it, because bananas are just fruits in the eyes of Chinese people, and they won't be regarded as rice at all.

This is a habit that cannot be changed. In fact, people who like to eat rice will not feel full after eating steamed buns.

Those who like to eat steamed buns will feel heartburn if they eat rice all the time.

But everyone still likes to treat it as a fruit, so Ling Xiao bought two big bunches from a small stall and carried it in her hands. Fortunately, she has a lot of strength, so she didn't feel tired at all.

After walking forward for a while, I saw a car stopped in front of me, and a person got off from the side seat, opened the door for the back seat, and the person who followed got off and looked around.

I don't know why at this moment, Ling Xiao felt that something was wrong, as if something unlucky was about to happen, so should she continue to move forward, or stop?Another person got off from another door.

Ling Xiao saw that there was a feeling of seeing a big man appearing here. She knew that it was a normal reaction to go forward. As a passerby, she should not feel anything wrong.

Ling Xiao just kept his eyes fixed, and kept moving forward at an unhurried speed. At this moment, the important figures in the car in front finally began to appear.

Just after he appeared, Ling Xiao suddenly felt creepy, threw the fruit in his hand aside, and threw himself forward.

After seeing Ling Xiao's evasive action, the big man reacted quickly, and naturally felt something was wrong, so he shrank his neck.

Hearing a pop, a deep bullet hole appeared where Ling Xiao was originally walking.

Then there was a burst, but fortunately it was shot into the ground, and the ground turned up.

The few people standing by the car also knew that something was wrong at this moment.

They don't know if there are more bullets coming.

He quickly squatted down, not daring to move.

Ling Xiao didn't have time to see the result of that shot at the moment.

Her body was rolling forward, but it didn't mean she was standing still.

She felt that more crises were coming, and she felt as if something was targeting her heart.

Without any hesitation, she kicked her foot to the side, and the whole person changed the direction of her progress, and her body turned sideways.

There was another puffing sound, brushing past her body, causing her clothes to be almost torn, and at this time there was a late gunshot.

Ling Xiao felt that if he slowed down by a few seconds, he would end up being dismembered, which was really very dangerous.

It should have been hit by a sniper rifle. Looking at the two big pits, Ling Xiao's face was ashen, this is fatal.

According to the ballistic trajectory, it was coming from the tall building across the road ahead.

Obviously the person who got in and out of the car was not a so-called idiot.

Some of them headed in that direction.
