Chapter 3 Entering Space

Chen Yi said goodbye to Fang Xiaoli, and followed Li Qinglin, walking in the snow with one step deep and one step shallow.

Although Xiaohe Brigade has more than a hundred households, they are scattered and separated by a river more than five meters wide.

There is a brigade on both sides of the river, and there is a very thick single-plank bridge across the river.

But now the river is frozen, so there is no need to walk on the bridge.

The cold wind was biting and Chen Yi felt that she couldn't stand the cold. The wind blowing in her face seemed to tear her skin apart.

The snow and wind were so strong that Li Qinglin, who was walking in front, felt he couldn't bear it any longer.

"Little girl, why don't you come to my house for dinner?" He remembered that neither of them had eaten yet.

Although these two people have never worked and have no work points, we can't let them go hungry.

Chen Yi shook her head and replied, "Captain, I have some biscuits in my bag. I'll just take them today. Thank you for your kindness. I've troubled you a lot today."

No matter what, you will have to eat in someone else's land in the future, so it won't hurt to be polite.

Besides, she really didn't want to eat. After a busy day, she just wanted to lie down and have a good rest.

It was the same during those days when I took the train. I was so exhausted.

Li Qinglin didn't say anything else. No one's food came from the wind, so it would be better not to eat it.

Chen Yi followed him for a while and finally stopped in a place where there was no house within a thousand meters.

The house is not big, and like other villagers' houses, it is made of mud.

"This is the house of He Mingcheng from our village. He is often not at home, so it is empty. It's a good opportunity for you to stay here for two days. I will ask someone to re-make the kang tomorrow." Li Qinglin opened the door and let her in.

The village installed loudspeakers and radio, so it pulled electrical wires a few years ago.

Not many households use electricity, and He Mingcheng's home is one of only a dozen or so households with electricity.

Chen Yi looked at the dim light bulb. No matter what, as long as it could shelter from the wind and rain, it would be fine.

Although there was no fire, it was much better than outside.

"Thank you, Captain." She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is it okay for me to live here? After all, I don't have the consent of the landlord. What if he suddenly comes home, how can I explain it to him?"

If she moved in without the owner's consent, she would be angry if it was her own house.

So her concerns are normal. What if she meets an unreasonable person who beats her up?

Although Chen Yi came from the end of the world, apart from running fast, she doesn't know kung fu or any special abilities.

Li Qinglin laughed when he heard her words, "Don't worry, little girl. Since he gave me the key, he knew I would bring people here. People from the village will come to inspect at the end of the year, and there are limited places to stay, so people often come to stay here."

This time Chen Yi felt relieved. At least he didn't have to be beaten up like a thief.

After everyone left, she checked the house and the situation outside.

After making sure that there was no one else around, I could finally relax.

After putting the suitcase on the kang into the space, Chen Yi turned off the lights in the room and followed him into the space.

The sudden warm air made her feel uncomfortable. It was freezing cold outside, but the temperature here was a very suitable 26 degrees.

Chen Yi looked around the space and it was still the same as before.

The open space opposite was filled with piles of goods, and next to it was a two-story residence.

This was built by her and the scumbag together, and it really took a lot of effort.

Because the scumbag is afraid that others will know, so only two of them can do this.

I didn't expect that she would still use this house today. Although I feel disgusted, it would be a pity to demolish it.

Chen Yi shook her head. She herself had participated in building the house and it was her own hard work. She must not act on impulse.

After entering the house, she took off her cotton coat and trousers. She hadn't changed her clothes for several days and she felt like she was stinking.

After taking a hot bath, Chen Yi lay down on the sofa to rest, then went to the kitchen to get a fast food meal.

She cooked a lot of these meals so that she could have something good to eat when she went on missions with the scumbag.

(A scumbag doesn't deserve a name)

I stopped thinking about my past life and went back to my big bed to sleep after eating and drinking.

Early the next morning.

Chen Yi got up early because she didn't know when the captain would come. What if he couldn't find her? How would she explain it?

After dawn, she found that the house was very clean.

Although it has not been occupied for a long time, it still has everything it needs.

The cabinets are all locked, and there are tables, chairs and benches as well.

The kitchen is where you enter the door. There are stoves in both the east and west rooms, which are used to heat the kang.

Chen Yi looked at the empty water tank, and then at the rusty iron pot.

Cooking was out of the question, she had nothing on the table.

Seeing that it was still early, she took out all the luggage, which were the original owner's belongings.

Most of them were newly bought. Maybe the original owner’s father felt he owed him something and thought the original owner would never come back in this lifetime, so he gave quite a few things.

In addition to these, there was still two hundred yuan in the inner pocket of the cotton-padded jacket he had taken off earlier.

This is no small amount.

Chen Yi thought that the Chen family definitely didn't want her to go back, so they gave her a lot of things and money.

Thinking of this, she also felt that there was little hope of returning.

How to get back when no one is operating in the city?

If you want to go back to the city, you need to find a worker there. If your family doesn't care, then don't even think about going back.

But Chen Yi knew a little about the future. As long as she worked hard, she would be able to return to the city after passing the college entrance examination in a few years.

She also understood that after six or seven years, who knew what the future would be like?

"Little girl, are you awake?" Li Qinglin's voice came from outside.

Chen Yi hurried to open the door. She had locked it last night.

"The captain is here. I got up early." She opened the door with a smile.

Li Qinglin nodded and said, "Let's go eat. You haven't received any food. Xiao Fang is eating at the Youth League Center."

Chen Yi waved her hands and said, "I've eaten, but I still have some biscuits. I'll just have to make do with them."

She got up and had breakfast, which of course was not biscuits, but wontons stuffed with bok choy and pork.

Hearing that she had finished her meal, Li Qinglin did not insist and said, "Xiao Chen, the kang in your room has collapsed, but there is no way to repair it now. You can see the weather, we can't dig the yellow mud."

"Ah?" Chen Yi was worried after hearing this. "Captain, what should we do?"

Yes, what should we do?

Li Qinglin sighed, "This is easy to do in the summer, but it's impossible in the winter. How about this, you live here first, and use the firewood outside to heat the kang. I'll bring you some food this afternoon."

There is no other way. Fortunately, He Mingcheng is not at home, otherwise, every household has so many people and they are so crowded that there is really no place for them to live.

Is anyone watching?
