Chapter 223: The Land of Water
"Water Country?" Li Yi read the name, the name is quite literary, but also relatively simple, and more importantly, the word "township" makes it easy for people to have a sense of intimacy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As Huang Cheng went to the land of water, the location became more and more remote, and the flow of people was relatively less, looking more like a slum before the end.
The houses on both sides of the roadside were covered with doors, and the road in front of them was muddy.
But it's good to have a place to live in the last days.
Li Yi was very curious, how did these people live in the house?
Huang Cheng knew a lot and explained: "At the beginning, many people came with the Rao Municipal Government, and at that time, the base needed labor, so these houses were given to them as compensation!"
"Isn't that the government ready to take it back?" Li Yi wondered.
"At the beginning, the government and the military said that they would give it to them permanently!" Huang Cheng said.
Li Yi nodded, if it was just the government, anyone would doubt the authenticity of this, if the military was added, it would stabilize people's hearts. Li Yi also renewed the military, after all, over the years, there have been many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the military department is rare. Therefore, in the hearts of the poor people, the army is sacred, and with them as a guarantee, it is no wonder that so many people are reassured.
The first civilians were lucky enough to have a permanent place to live, as well as free military protection. And those who came later, some of whom were close to the city by virtue of their connections, could only live in tents.
The worst are those who are still outside the city, enduring the cold and worrying about danger.
Li Yi shook his head, because the land of water had arrived.
This is a three-story bungalow, if it weren't for a sign hanging at the door - Water Village Inn, Li Yi wouldn't know that this was an inn.
Inns, as they were said in ancient times, rested in modern times, should be counted as hotels. This is all a combination of food and housing, Li Yi also saw seven or eight sets of tables and chairs in the hall, but all of them were resting on the table.
Looks like business isn't good!
While watching, I also walked in.
"Welcome!" As soon as he stepped through the door, he was greeted by a woman.
"It turned out to be Huang Cheng, who brought a friend to my store?" The woman said with a smile, knowing Huang Cheng's situation, but still greeted warmly.
"Sister Xuan is joking, where do I have that money! However, my friend wants to live in the city, and he can't get a residence permit, so he wants to live in an inn! Huang Cheng said.
When Sister Xuan heard this, she looked at Li Yi again. This is a young lad who has obviously not yet experienced the polishing of society. This is also a young man with strength, otherwise he would not have the funds to stay in the guest house.
Sister Xuan still has the ability to see people, otherwise it would be impossible to open an inn in the apocalypse.
"Little brother, to be honest, the guest house is more cost-effective than getting a residence permit in the short term, but if it is a long-term one, it will be too cost-effective!" Sister Xuan knew that Li Yi was going to stay in the hotel, but she still explained.
If this is placed in other stores, it may be desirable that people will live like this forever, and it is better to live until the end of the day, without a penny. Oh no, it's 1g gold and no!
"It's okay, I can come and live first, and then slowly go to get a residence permit!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Well, you're going to look at the room now?" Sister Xuan's smile remained unchanged, such a service attitude is simply nothing to say.
Li Yi nodded, a little puzzled in his heart, the boss is a beautiful woman and has such a good attitude, how can there be no business?
"Are you satisfied with this one?" Sister Xuan led Li Yi to a room on the second floor and asked.
"Yes, yes!" Li Yi nodded and said, the room is clean and tidy, and the facilities inside are much simpler, with neither TV air conditioning nor a separate bathroom.
But these are secondary, the end times. What else can you do with a TV? In such weather, the air conditioning didn't do much. Plus it was remodeled later, and it's normal to have no bathroom!
It's all in the last days, many people don't have those pursuits, and the most important thing is to survive!
"Then arrange this room for you?" Sister Xuan asked Li Yi.
"Wait, blame me for not making it clear!" Li Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm not moving in alone, I still have some family members outside, and they will also move in when the time comes!" β
After listening to Li Yi's words, Huang Cheng and Sister Xuan's hanging hearts fell. After all, it's a customer, and it's a pity if it doesn't work out. And Huang Cheng is purely worried about Sister Xuan!
"And how many do you want?" Sister Xuan asked, in fact, she was already excited, if such a big order was completed, she could survive for a few months.
Li Yi didn't say how many he wanted, but asked, "Sister Xuan's business is not good, right?"
Sister Xuan's heart paused with a "cluck", for fear that Li Yi would take advantage of the fire to rob at this time, and secretly guessed in her heart: Could it be that he didn't come to the house, but had another plan?
It's no wonder that Sister Xuan thinks so, in the last days, it is not easy for her to be a woman, and many people are already thinking about her and her shop.
Li Yi didn't notice Sister Xuan's expression, didn't see Sister Xuan speak, and said to herself: "So I want to wrap up the third floor!"
"Huh?" When Sister Xuan heard this, her previous thoughts suddenly vanished, and some were just full of shockβall inclusive, what a big deal this is.
"This ...... Brother Lee! Huang Cheng spoke up, "The third floor is where Sister Xuan lives by herself!" β
"So?" Li Yi was a little disappointed, his idea was there as soon as he came in, since the business was poor, which meant that there were many empty rooms, then he would wrap up all the rooms and let the floor belong to him, so as to give Chen Meng a good recuperation environment.
"It's okay, it's okay! I can move down! Sister Xuan hurriedly said, how can there be any calmness before at this time.
"Okay, ask! How much does it cost a month? Li Yi didn't plan to go up to see it, how could the boss live by himself be bad.
"This ......" Sister Xuan hesitated, not knowing how to calculate the price. After all, there has never been such a situation.
"How?"
"Why don't you go up and have a look!" Sister Xuan said.
Li Yi didn't twist either, and immediately went with him. When he got to the third floor, Li Yi understood why Sister Xuan was not good at pricing.
The staircase to the third floor is in the middle of the house, and a passage divides the third floor into two sides. There is a door on the left and right sides, and there seem to be only these two rooms on the entire third floor!
"Come in and have a look!" Sister Xuan took the lead in opening the door on the left.
As soon as Li Yi and Huang Cheng stepped in, a fragrance came to their faces. There is no doubt that this is Sister Xuan's room.
As soon as you enter, there is a living room, which is fully equipped and has a modern atmosphere. Air conditioning, TV...... Everything is complete.
"This is the hall, the master bedroom is on this side, with a separate bathroom, and a balcony! There are two rooms here, a small room here, and a shared bathroom! Sister Xuan said one by one.
One master bedroom, two guest rooms, that small room was supposed to be a study, but it's the end of the world, and there is no study or study, but it can be changed into a bedroom.
Li Yi calculated in his heart, in this way, the room does not seem to be enough!
Sister Xuan had already begun to take Li Yi to look at the other side.
"The kitchen is here, and there's a grocery room!" Now in the living room on the right, Sister Xuan pointed to both sides.
The facilities here are much more basic than those there, and even in the middle of the living room, there is only a table and a few chairs. Obviously, this is a place to eat.
"Well, yes, very good!" After Li Yi saw it, he was very satisfied and couldn't help but praise it again and again.
"What do you think is a reasonable price, sir?" In the face of such a big customer, Sister Xuan didn't dare to offend, for fear that people would leave.
"Sister Xuan, what do you think of the price of the second floor cladding?" Li Yi proposed.
"Good!" Sister Xuan agreed without hesitation.
"The price of one room for one day is 5g gold, and seven rooms are 35g, which is 30! In a month, that's 900g! Sister Xuan told Li Yi to listen, but in the end, she was stunned.
Oh my God, 900 grams of gold, how long can I eat it!
Li Yi didn't expect that he would ask for so much. Nine hundred grams of gold, according to the previous exchange rate, is 18 secondary crystal nuclei. That's 180 points!
However, Li Yi is not unacceptable, it is just a secondary crystal nucleus, and the mutant cat is not like chopping vegetables, he can cut it one by one, provided that it is aimed at the neck!
These are not problems, the problem is that there are no secondary crystal nuclei now. When he first came, Li Yike replaced all the secondary crystal nuclei with points at one time, and now there is no such thing.
Fortunately, there are no secondary crystal nuclei, and Li Yi still has first-level and second-level ones.
"This is a first-level crystal nucleus, Sister Xuan will put it away first, and I will give you the rest in two days!" Li Yi can only pay a first-class crystal nucleus as a deposit first, otherwise how can people believe that you are not cheating?
"Ahh Sister Xuan saw that Li Yi actually took out a first-level crystal nucleus from her backpack, and the whole person was stupid. I thought it was paid with gold, but I didn't expect it to be a crystal nucleus.
Gold is the currency in circulation, but the crystal nucleus is a hard currency. That is, gold will depreciate, but crystal nuclei will not. Gold will suddenly be worthless, but crystal nuclei will not!
In an instant, Shu Luoxuan knew that the young man in front of him was a very powerful person, otherwise it would be impossible to easily take out a first-level crystal nucleus.
"Then I'll go first, and I'll come back tomorrow!" Li Yi said.
"Okay!"
β¦β¦
Li Yi and Huang Cheng left together, on the way.
Li Yi asked, "Are you very familiar with that Sister Xuan?"
Huang Cheng said with a smile: "Sister Xuan is very good, and she often helps people near us!"
"Oh, is she alone?" Li Yi is very curious that a woman can support a career, especially the end of the world. Qin Duxue is, and so is Sister Xuan!
"Alas, Sister Xuan has a husband! I just went out a month ago and never came back! Huang Cheng said in a deep voice, "Sister Xuan's husband is also a good person, but a good person doesn't live long!" β
"Out? Didn't come back? β
"yes, I went out looking for supplies, and I died!" Huang Cheng, "In fact, some people say that his death was man-made!" β
"Artificial?" Li Yi became more and more confused.
Author's note: I'm so sorry, I haven't updated it for a long time! The main thing is that now there is no passion like before, and without passion, it is difficult to have the heart to write!
But February doesn't plan to give up, firstly, because of commitment. Second, it is also because of an obsession.
The book will continue to be written in February, but the number of words can only depend on the mood!
Here, I would like to say "sorry"!
