Chen Man shook her head and closed the book. Forget it, out of sight, out of mind. Her destiny was in her own hands.

There were also several old almanacs, the most impressive of which was undoubtedly an early erotic novel. The cover clearly displayed the words "Desire and Passion" in bold black font. Chen Man's pupils trembled. Who in this family did this thing belong to? Grandma? Grandpa? Mom? It seemed like it didn't belong to anyone.

Chen Man couldn't help but flip through a few pages. Wow, the writing style and content were quite normal.

Tsk, it turns out that people in the past already understood the password to traffic.

He took out a few more nylon bags and opened them. They were filled with colorful unwanted clothes, all wrinkled into balls.

Chen Man took out a very retro shirt, bright yellow in color, with standard red flowers.

I picked up another piece, a maxi skirt with big polka dots.

She took out another piece, which was a pink and brown plaid suit jacket. Chen Man was amazed by its beauty.

Chen Man was very surprised, as if she had discovered a treasure. These were her mother's old clothes.

They are all quite cute. I will sort them out slowly when I have time.

Chen Man moved out everything in the room except the wooden bed.

The sun had already set, and it had to be done before it got completely dark, because she discovered that there was no electricity in the room.

The next step is to get some water, clean the room, and then lay the floor, and we'll be done for tonight.

Chen Man went downstairs and looked around but couldn't find a mop or rag.

"Grandma, I can't find the rag and mop."

Chen Man stood at the door of the room and leaned in to ask her grandmother.

"It's a wooden house, so why would you need a mop? We don't have one at home, so you can only buy one on the street. We don't have any rags either, but there are a lot of handkerchiefs in the closet, so come in and get some." Grandma pointed to her closet.

Chen Man walked to the wardrobe, opened it, and found it full of black and blue things. She searched through it but still couldn't find it.

"No, grandma, which floor is it on?"

"The bottom floor, look carefully."

Chen Man took out a long black cloth and asked uncertainly, "Is this it?"

Grandma said with a laugh, "That's the scarf I use to wrap my head. It might have pressed on you. You turned over so hard that it might have pressed down on you."

Chen Man studied the long black silk cloth in her hand. "Grandma, what ethnicity are you from?"

"Miao. We used to all wear scarves. Gradually, fewer people wore them, so I put them away."

Miao?

What a mysterious ethnic group. I’ll ask my grandmother to tell her stories about the past someday.

She folded the long silk handkerchief neatly and searched through it carefully before finally finding a few pink, green and white towels.

"Found it, Grandma. Which one will work?"

"It's all fine. You can use it as you like. I got it from drinking."

Chen Man picked up one of each color, went to the kitchen to find a bucket and basin, and then went to the yard to fetch half a bucket of water and brought it up.

He carefully wiped the wooden bed three times, and then wiped the windows, walls and floor once.

I went up and down and changed the water several times, and after wiping, I was so tired that I wanted to collapse on the ground.

She took some cotton wool from her mother's cupboard. Since there was no mattress, Chen Man gathered a few feed bags hanging on the railings and spread them on top, then covered them with cotton wool, and made do with it for the time being.

The weather is hot now, so I can just use a quilt cover. I'll buy a new one when I have time.

There are so many things to buy: masks, gloves, cleaning tools, basins, buckets, bedding, mattresses...

Now that she thought about it, Xu Junyang's calling her over to exchange contact information was incredibly practical. She was going to shamelessly ask him to take her out tomorrow.

Oh, I'll ask him tonight. If he leaves early tomorrow morning, I can get up early too.

Chen Man sat in the corridor and took out her cell phone. The screen showed 20:23.

It was already very late, but the moonlight was quite bright, so Chen Man could still see somewhat.

She clenched her fists and prepared herself mentally before dialing the number.

The beeping of the phone dial made her uneasy. She didn't like bothering others, nor did she like making phone calls. The two things together were really annoying.

"Hello?" Xu Junyang's voice on the phone sounded stranger and colder.

Chen Man was a little embarrassed. She had only been here for a short while and she was already bothering others. "Hello, I'm Chen Man. Sorry to bother you. I wanted to ask if you were going out tomorrow? Could you give me a ride?"

"I'm going out tomorrow. What time?"

His voice softened, which made Chen Man feel less anxious. She quickly replied, "Any time is fine with me."

"Okay, I'll call you tomorrow morning at nine o'clock."

"Yeah, okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Man smiled with relief, "See, making a phone call didn't cost me anything."

This will leave the room like this for now.

She looked at herself and found that taking a bath was also a problem.

Chen Man was thinking about where to take a shower. After thinking around, she couldn't find a place where she could take a shower.

Then I can only wash my hair first, then get some water and go back to the room to wash my body.

Carry the suitcases upstairs one by one and put them in the room.

I took out my travel toiletries and went to the yard to wash my face, brush my teeth, and wash my feet. I lifted my pants and rinsed every place I could.

The mountain spring water is still a little cold, but if I don’t have my period, I can still bear it. I don’t wash my hair. I would rather have it a little dirty than wash it with cold water.

It’s too late, I’m not familiar with the place, and it’s not convenient to boil water.
