The owner looks to be in his forties, and there is no need to say much about his appearance. Like most of the low-level survivors, he looks like a yellow-skinned refugee.

After she came out, she first pulled the boy and asked with concern, "I was beaten again, does it hurt?" ”

The boy smiled and scratched his head, "I'm fine, Aunt He, these two are the guests I brought, you can take someone to see the house." ”

Only then did the female homeowner turn her eyes to Li Mo and the others, and said busily: "Come on, come on, please come in, sit in the house." ”

Li Mo didn't really turn around and leave, so he followed the big and the small into the wooden house.

Entering the house, the house is not large, except for a simple foyer with tables, chairs and a cabinet, and two other rooms. It's very simple, but it's tidy and tidy.

After looking at the two bedrooms again, he couldn't say that he was satisfied or dissatisfied, anyway, as long as Li Mo had a place to sleep, there was not so much to do. also symbolically asked Ma Xiaolan: "What do you think?" ”

Ma Xiaolan is not the kind of person who is content with enjoyment, and responds indifferently: "Big brother, you are in charge." ”

So a few people sat down around the table in the hallway, Li Mo looked at the female owner, but raised his hand and pointed at the boy, as straightforward as ever: "The house is okay, but this kid just told me that if we move in, you won't be able to pick up customers during this period, can this be done?" ”

This sounds a bit harsh, but the female homeowner has already smoothed her self-esteem. There was no dissatisfaction and unnaturalness on his face, and he nodded vigorously with a smile: "Whatever you say is what you say, we will follow everything." ”

However, there are tenants who come to the door, and they are happy. But the substantive issues still had to be clarified, so he said, "Then you see." Shall we just discuss the rent? ”

But without waiting for Li Mo to answer, the boy said, "Aunt He." The two guests are short-term rentals, but I promised them that it would be cheaper, so don't ask for a price. ”

Li Mo, who heard this, laughed secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that this kid is still acting here. I really thought I didn't see it, he had a lot to do with the female owner, and he simply recommended his own house.

The female landlord said in passing: "How can you ask for it, if you rent it for a short time, you only need to ...... every day."

But before she finished speaking, Li Mo directly took out the Peishan coins that she had exchanged. Half of it was thrown on the table: "Rent for seven days, this is the rent." ”

As a result, both the landlady and the boy stared and opened their mouths and stayed there.

Although Li Mo only dropped a few banknotes, they were all large denominations of 100 yuan.

Don't underestimate a mere 100 yuan, in the Peishan gathering place, such a ticket is enough for a family of three to be fed and clothed for the first half of the year.

And how much rent did the female landlord not say before? It's only two dollars a day!

It can be seen that Li Mo is no longer renting a house, he is simply a philanthropist.

This big and small can't imagine the seemingly ordinary tenants in front of them. In fact, he is a great good person.

The female homeowner felt that the money was a little hot, although she couldn't pull out her eyes, but she still hesitated: "Sir, this." This ......"

It's just that she "this" for a long time, but she couldn't say a word again, and her eyes were obviously a little moist.

The boy was the same as her. looked at Li Mo, his eyes were red.

However, Li Mo naturally didn't need their cheap gratitude. Then I heard him say, "This money is both rent and food." Three meals a day, be prepared on time. ”

After speaking, he stuffed the remaining Peishan coins in his hand into Ma Xiaolan's hand: "You can take the rest, and I'll look for you when I want to use them." ”

In fact, except for food and housing, Peishan coins are basically useless to Li Mo. Even if he really looked at what he needed in this gathering place, it was not something that could be bought with this little money.

Therefore, only half of the relief was given to these two landlords whose lives were not easy, and the other half was left to Ma Xiaolan.

But for Ma Xiaolan, holding the banknote he stuffed was complaining in her heart.

This is to let yourself manage the money, it is simply telling yourself to stay here steadily.

But in front of outsiders, Ma Xiaolan couldn't say anything, and when she stuffed the money in her pocket, she sulked there, and wondered how to change Li Mo's mind.

After explaining his requirements, Li Mo pointed to the room on the east side and said, "I'll live in this room, and during the stay, no one will disturb me when I don't call you." ”

When he was outside just now, he heard another room, which was the room where the female owner and the prostitute were doing errands. Although I don't have a cleanliness fetish, I still chose this one that is relatively "clean".

"Yes, yes, I'll clean it up for you." The female landlord hurriedly agreed, hurriedly put away the Peishan coins on the table, and got up and entered the east room.

The boy also wanted to help, but Li Mo turned his eyes to him and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The boy had already regarded him as a great benefactor at this time, and when he heard his question, he instinctively stood up: "You can just call me Ash." ”

Li Mo nodded and said lightly: "Xiaozhi, there is something I want you to help me run an errand, you should know where to register to find relatives, right?" ”

Xiao Zhi listened and said, "I know, sir, do you want to find relatives?" Then you write a detailed information of your relatives, and I will help you register. ”

With that, he got up and ran to the broken cabinet in the corner and took out the pen and paper.

However, Li Mo did not answer, but pointed to Ma Xiaolan: "Let her write the information." ”

After that, he said to Ma Xiaolan again: "Didn't you come out of P City, if your relatives are still alive, they may escape here." It's not very promising, but let's look for it. ”

Leaving these words, he didn't wait for Ma Xiaolan to reply, and got up directly and entered the East House.

Ma Xiaolan looked at his back and felt deflated. Looking at the pen and paper handed over by the boy again, he sighed and finally took it.

At this moment, she was really a little hesitant. If you can really find a relative, can you still follow that person without hesitation?

In the east room, the female owner simply cleaned up. In fact, there is nothing to clean up, nothing more than to prepare a slightly cleaner futon for Li Mo.

"Sir, my name is He Ning. Go out and prepare lunch first, if you have any orders. Just call me and Ash. Seeing Li Mo enter the house, she retreated.

Look again in the foyer. Ma Xiaolan quickly finished writing the information. However, the matter of registration should naturally be put after the meal.

Taking advantage of He Ning's cooking, she also chatted with the boy in the foyer.

After some conversation, Ma Xiaolan learned that it turned out that Xiaozhi and He Ning were the first batch of survivors to flee to the Peishan gathering place.

It's just the relationship between the two, but she was a little surprised, before the end of the world, they were actually teachers and students.

And after arriving at the Peishan gathering place, they lived a life of dependence. Therefore, it can be said that it is like mother and son.

However, there are only two rooms here, and Ma Xiaolan couldn't help but ask curiously: "Xiaozhi, we live here, what should you two do?" ”

Xiao Zhi smiled, obviously not worried about this, and replied: "I will go to sleep in the tent with Aunt He at night, and during the day, I will stay here, and you two will have a dispatch if you want to do anything." Aunt He came to cook. If I have any other work, I'll just call her in the greenhouse. ”

"What is a greenhouse?" Xiaozhi said it very simply, but Ma Xiaolan didn't know what the greenhouse was.

Ash smiled and replied, "That's a kind of hotel, and there are a lot of them in our outer city." It's also cheap. ”

It's just that his answer is very simple, but Ma Xiaolan still vaguely guessed that the place is definitely terrible.

And in fact. The Greenhouse Hotel was much worse than she thought.

To put it bluntly, it's a place to rent a bed. There was not even a bed in a greenhouse. There is only a large bunk made of wooden planks, which can sleep dozens of people.

Although it is a kind of shack hotel. Men and women are also distinguished. But you can imagine how bad the accommodation is.

However, He Ning and Xiaozhi have obviously lived not once or twice, and they have long been used to it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought them over knowing that Li Mo needed two separate rooms.

Moreover, the greenhouse is a serious place to live, and in the inner and outer cities, there are people sleeping on the streets almost every day, freezing to death or starving.

In fact, to be able to have such a property in the gathering place, He Ning and Xiaozhi are already doing well among the survivors at the bottom.

You must know that when the gathering place began to plan the outer city and register the real estate, I don't know how many people died in order to compete for a place to live.

In a residential area like this, the registered property is completely different from the allotment of the middle and upper floors.

Although the houses were built by survivors, it doesn't mean that the houses are yours because they can't be authenticated.

And when dealing with low-level survivors like them, the simpler the Gathering is to deal with everything, the better.

To register the property, that is, when the registration officer comes to the door, whoever lives in the house will belong to the house, and the property right certificate will be given to you.

Therefore, during that period, the outer city can be described as a panic, and it is impossible to ensure that you sleep in the house tonight, and the corpse will be displayed in the streets early tomorrow morning.

If it weren't for the ruthless man He Ning at that time, they wouldn't have been able to keep this house at all.

It's just a pity that the man got sick and died.

It's not a serious illness, it's just that after the weather turned cold, I had a wind, and as a result, because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine, coupled with poor resistance, it gradually turned into pneumonia and then edema. As a result, the last old man in the prime of life lost his life like that.

However, this is the end of the world, and there is nothing to sigh about.

Looking at the front again, looking at Xiao Zhi in front of her, Ma Xiaolan couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic. After learning about the situation of the greenhouse, I couldn't bear to "drive" them away.

In fact, it's not impossible to live in two rooms, I can live with the big one, and Li Mo and the small one can live in one.

However, after He Ning made lunch, at the dinner table, Li Mo didn't wait for Ma Xiaolan to speak, so he left the two behind.

Before he was reborn, he also struggled at the bottom, so naturally he wouldn't give it a little convenience.

It's just that he still lives in a room by himself, and Ma Xiaolan lives with He Ning. As for Ash, he's small anyway, so he just sleeps at the table in the foyer. Of course, if the three of them are willing to squeeze into a room, Li Mo has no opinion.

This decision was naturally a great joy for everyone, which made Ma Xiaolan and the three of them in a good mood.

And after eating, Ash had to go out to help Ma Xiaolan run errands and register.

But when she heard that the kid was going to save money by the way, Ma Xiaolan said that she would go with him.

She is not like Li Mo, who can stay in the house for a day without changing it. It's the first time I've come to a big gathering place, so I naturally want to go out and walk around.

And there is another reason, that is, there is also a trace of fantasy about finding relatives.

In fact, if Li Mo hadn't mentioned this, she would have lost that heart a long time ago, and she wouldn't have remembered it at all.

But since it's been brought up, even if you don't have much hope, you have to try it anyway.

Of course, Ma Xiaolan must also have some contradictions in her heart about finding relatives.

Leaving the house, she and Ash decide to save money first.

The Peishan agglomeration not only issued currency, but also established banks. In the last days, people are unpredictable, and it is naturally safer to save money.

Therefore, here the bank can be said to be a kind of existence for the benefit of the people, which can effectively reduce crime.

But don't think about interest or loans, it's just simple access and withdrawal. In addition, access and withdrawal must be made in person or a relative in the same account.

Here, for the settled households, the household registration and settlement policy have already been completed, and Xiaozhi is naturally registered with He Ning in the same household registration book.

And people like Li Mo and Ma Xiaolan, who have not yet decided whether to settle down, or passers-by, also have temporary identity certificates.

The two of them have the ability to bear the same effect.

The two walked all the way to the bank station in the outer city, and Xiao Zhi also fulfilled his obligation as a guide, and kept introducing Ma Xiaolan to Peishan's situation.

It didn't take long for them to reach a so-called "business district".

Here you can find a variety of shops. There are a wide variety of products, whether it is food, clothing or daily necessities, everything is available.

However, some of these big stores sell things that are not affordable for ordinary people, such as meat and thermal weapons.

Ma Xiaolan stopped in front of a butcher shop now, looking at the various meats hanging inside, she couldn't walk.

She hadn't touched meat for too long, and her stomach had long since run out of oil.

But when Ash looked at the butcher shop, his heart suddenly became bitter.

Li Mo threw so much money at once to him and Aunt He, this child is very sensible, although the wool is from the sheep, he also wants to buy some good ones to go back. After all, you can't always use the kind of things you usually eat to entertain two distinguished guests. I only know how to take advantage of it, and the young Ash can't do it.

But at this moment, what made him very depressed was that the butcher shop that Ma Xiaolan had his eye on sold not ordinary meat at all.

It was beast meat, or mutant and evolutionary meat.

However, this kind of meat is all animal meat that has been extracted from evolutionary elements, so it naturally has no effect of promoting evolution.

But for ordinary people, this thing is called fairy meat. It can greatly improve resistance and improve physical fitness, and the effect is extremely fast.

Like those so-called nutrients before the end of the world, compared with this kind of beast meat, it is simply scum. (To be continued......)
