After all, it has been established for a long time, and the scale of the settlement town is not small, and there are nearly 100,000 people living in it, divided into four regions: southeast, northwest, and northwest, and Zhao Xiaochuan's home is in the western district. And in the whole town, there is only one bath, and the name is "Bald Bath"! After all, in this era, water resources are also very precious, and the price of a bath is also very expensive! Many civilians who don't have much money on hand can't even take a shower once a year.

And the bald bath has been in operation in the town for at least twenty years, and since the owner is a bald head, many people call him old bald. Of course, the people who dare to call him this title are limited to those who are familiar with him, after all, the bath that can be opened in the settlement is definitely a bad existence.

Most people will respectfully call "Guangye".

Over time, no one remembered what his real surname was!

Zhao Xiaochuan has often come to the bald bath with his father since he was a child, especially Zhao Xiaochuan, who is covered in humus and blood adulteration every time he comes back from the wasteland, and the first destination is definitely the old bald bath!

"Bath 20, you can only go to a single room!" In the front hall of the bath, the old bald head sat behind the bar, looked up and glanced at Zhao Xiaochuan who came in, and his face seemed to be unfazed.

"Old bald, you're targeting me again? The bath only costs 10 pieces! Zhao Xiaochuan frowned, he didn't really want to spend the extra 10 yuan.

"Huh! I'll let you go into the bath and wash, can't I do this business!? "The old bald man is tall and big, and he is burly! Looking at Zhao Xiaochuan, who was covered in a mixture of dirt and blood, he stood up with a sneer, and even the whole room was a little dark, staring at Zhao Xiaochuan condescendingly. It's just that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the sparse white beard on his chin indicate that he is not young, even older than he appears.

"What's wrong with me? Old bald head, you don't know, I'm different from the sixteen or seventeen-year-old little teddies in the town, I never mess around, my body is very clean, why don't you let me into the bath? Zhao Xiaochuan was not false at all, his face was calm, and he didn't feel that the putrid on his body and rabbit blood were mixed together all night, and after entering the bath all night, it would affect the business in the store.

"Clean...?" The old bald head was speechless for a while, and the whole person was almost choked, and he slowed down for a while before he said word by word: "Give!" Old! Child! Get lost! ”

“..... A single room is a single room! I only have 10 pieces! And you're going to help me keep my sealed box, and you're going to let me go in with my little shovel and clean it all in piece! Under the eaves, he had to bow his head, looking at the old bald head who was blowing his beard and staring, Zhao Xiaochuan couldn't help but wither.

After all, in the whole town, except for the old bald head bathing, Zhao Xiaochuan really couldn't find any other place to take a bath.

Although in the wasteland, he has long been accustomed to the smell of his body, but after all, this is a small town in the settlement, and it is really not good to hold this body of decay.

“18！”

“12！”

“... 15！ ”

"Deal! The sealed box is here, don't steal it! I'll just go in, or a single room six, right? Zhao Xiaochuan didn't see anything outside, and threw the sealed box directly in front of the old bald head, and walked inside with a shovel in his hand, and didn't forget to shout in his mouth: "Old rule, the money is recorded in my account first!" ”

"Ahh Little ghost! How not to die in the wasteland! Have a good relationship with your dead ghost daddy! The old bald head seemed to curse viciously, but looking at the sealed box in front of him, after thinking for a while, he actually took out a wet cloth from the side, picked up the sealed box and wiped it carefully, and even the eyes that seemed fierce before revealed a trace of soft nostalgia.

This sealed box is made of good old wood, and he is not even afraid of fire, he is afraid of entering a humid and hot environment, so from the time Zhao Xiaochuan followed his father to take a bath, before entering the bath, he threw the sealed box to the old bald head.

"Hey, that dog thing in Lao Zhaotou, he didn't do a few good things when he was alive, but he didn't expect that after he died, the little rabbit cub left behind had some ability!" The old bald head felt the heavy weight of the sealed box, which meant that Zhao Xiaochuan gained a lot this time. He scolded in his mouth, but the movements in his hands were very gentle, and he carefully wiped the sealed box clean.

At this time, a sturdy man walked in from the outside, and his eyes were a little submissive when he looked at the old bald head.

"Guangye, hehe! I'm taking a shower! Go to the bath! ”

"Pay the money! 15！ ”

"Huh!? Wasn't it 10 pieces before? Why has the price increased? ”

"Love washing, not washing!!"

........

After successfully using up a whole piece of soap in the bath, Zhao Xiaochuan sniffed his armpits, frowned, and was not very satisfied, so he ran to the No. 5 single room next door and got another piece of soap.

At this time, Zhao Xiaochuan not only washed himself cleanly, but even cleaned all his clothes, satchels and small shovels, and then unceremoniously put his clothes on the dryer in the bath!

He's got just a decent outfit!

As for the "sauna 5" sign at the door, Zhao Xiaochuan said that he suffered from a disease of intermittent blindness.

The time in the old bald bath can be regarded as one of the few times that Zhao Xiaochuan can rest, and he stayed until he was hungry and gurgling, Zhao Xiaochuan reluctantly wore dried clothes, put on a small satchel, carried his own small shovel, and walked from the back bath area to the front hall.

The old bald head was no longer in the store at this time, and was replaced by a young man who was fourteen or fifteen years old to see the store, as if his name was called Mark, Zhao Xiaochuan had also seen him a few times, and knew that there seemed to be some difficulties in his house, the old bald man took pity on him, and he was a good person, so he was recruited to work, and he looked at the cleaning and bathing pool on weekdays, and his hands and feet were very diligent.

"Brother Zhao, you're out! The boss told me to give this to you? Seeing Zhao Xiaochuan come out, Mark hurriedly handed over the sealed box respectfully, and his eyes were full of envy when he looked at Zhao Xiaochuan.

Although Zhao Xiaochuan has been struggling on the line of life and death before, in the eyes of a child like Mark who doesn't even dare to come out of the town, Zhao Xiaochuan, who has been wandering alone in the wasteland for almost several years, is the target they yearn for.

"Huh? You wiped it for me? And Zhao Xiaochuan nodded, took the sealed box from Mark's hand, and suddenly frowned, staring at Mark with his eyes! Although the mark on the sealed box has not been passed, that is to say, the box has not been opened, but if such an unfamiliar person wipes the sealed box for himself, Zhao Xiaochuan's heart will naturally be a little uncomfortable!

"Ahh No, no, no! It's the boss who rubs it! Mark hurriedly waved his hand to explain, his eyes were full of anxiety, for fear that Zhao Xiaochuan would misunderstand him!

"Oh? That's right. After listening to Mark's words, Zhao Xiaochuan's face also softened, nodded, and then turned around and left the old bald bath.

"The kid is gone?" And not long after Zhao Xiaochuan left, a shiny head came out of the bath area, it was the old bald head!

"Boss, you're out, Brother Zhao is gone."

"! Let this kid slip away again! Don't give money every time you come! The old bald head scolded and muttered a few words, while Mark on the side couldn't help grinning.

As a boss, every time Zhao Xiaochuan comes out of the bath, he always has to find some excuse to go out, not to give Zhao Xiaochuan a chance to escape the order.

"Okay, don't pestle here, hurry up and take a new piece of soap and put it in the No. 6 single room, the little bastard uses soap as if he eats soap, and he doesn't know how to save! Wait a minute! Take two pieces! Go to the single partition wall No. 6 and take a look, I guess the soap there should be gone! This little bunny! ”

"Okay! Boss! ”
