By attracting customers regularly, they can alleviate some of the burden on the village.
“Miss Lin, drive another kilometer ahead, there’s an exit from the highway, and there are people guarding that way. Just tell them the person ahead called you, and Old Huang will go back to the village and wait for you.” Uncle Li said warmly.
We need to send Lao Huang back. Let him stay here and see if anyone else is around. Otherwise, given Lao Huang's condition, if he waits for someone to come, he might end up being sold off.
"Yes, yes, I'll go back to the village and wait for you right away." After saying that, Uncle Huang didn't wait for Lin Yue's reply and turned around and ran towards the village.
He needed to hurry back and tell his wife to tidy up the room again, so that the guests wouldn't think they were too poor and wouldn't stay.
Lin Yue wanted to say there was no need to rush, but before she could even open her mouth and speak, Uncle Huang had already slid down to the bottom of the highway at a speed that was almost as fast as a rabbit.
This looks a bit silly.
"Alright, Uncle Li, I'll head over now. I'll have to trouble your village tonight." After saying goodbye for the time being, Lin Yue drove off to find a way out.
At the highway exit one kilometer away, two other people were waiting. When they saw her car trying to exit the highway, they stood by the roadside and waved.
Lin Yue stopped the car and told the two men that Uncle Li and Uncle Huang had told her to get off here. One of them then rode his bicycle and took Lin Yue back to the village.
Even if Lin Yue didn't say anything, they would definitely try their best to persuade her to go back to the village to live, after all, it was worth two jin of grain!
Lin Yue followed them to the village. The village-guarding stone at the entrance was still there, with the words "Anhe Village" written on it. Walking into the village, the original tiled houses had all collapsed, probably because they had been washed away by water. Only about twenty single-story houses remained, which must have been built quite solidly when they were built, and they still stood.
It was clear that the survivors of the village were all living in these single-story houses. When they heard someone coming, a dozen or so children ran out of the houses with smiles full of vitality, seemingly untouched by the devastation of the apocalypse.
Lin Yue's tense expression relaxed a little.
The fact that there are so many children in a village suggests that these people aren't as vicious as they seem, at least they didn't use children as...
And the children's smiles were so innocent, which showed that they were well protected. This village seemed even more harmonious than many of the other villagers who went to the Yuquan base together.
After Uncle Huang returned, he asked his wife to tidy up the room again. Now, he came out with his wife to greet Lin Yue.
"Miss Lin, let us show you where you'll be staying," Uncle Huang said with a grin.
You definitely need to bring your wife to look at houses, otherwise what kind of image would it make for a grown man to bring a young girl to look at houses?
Although he had thought of this aspect, he had not thought of the deeper aspects. It was not good for him to go alone, and it was not good for him to go with others either!
Aunt Huang patted him on the shoulder and glared at him, saying, "What are you going to do? You're a man, what are you doing going into that young girl's room? I'll take Miss Lin there."
Uncle Huang scratched his head and smiled rather embarrassedly.
"Yes, you're right. I won't go. You take Miss Lin to see her."
"Miss Lin, why don't you go with Auntie Huang to see the room? If there's anything you're not satisfied with, just let us know, and we'll try our best to fix it." Auntie Huang enthusiastically reached out to pull Lin Yue along.
Lin Yue subtly dodged, avoiding being pulled away by Aunt Huang.
"Auntie, thank you for your trouble."
She's relaxed a bit now, but not to the point where she'd hand herself over to someone else.
Aunt Huang didn't mind that she didn't pick up anyone. Not to mention now, even in the past, she wouldn't just let anyone pick her up. She was just so happy to see someone coming to stay in the village that she couldn't resist.
The accommodation in Anhe Village was also a single-story building with four floors. Aunt Huang led Lin Yue up to the second floor, which was divided into four small rooms, each with its own bathroom. There was a bucket of water in the bathroom, probably water for washing vegetables, and there were some oil droplets in it, which was used to flush the toilet.
In the current situation, the fact that they still have water to flush toilets is quite commendable.
Lin Yue looked at the mat and sheets on the bed. They were very clean and had a faint smell of sunshine. This room was already quite nice.
"Aunt Huang, what was this building used for before?" Lin Yue asked after looking at it.
In rural areas, it's rare for a family to have a private bathroom in every room. But Aunt Huang showed her all four rooms, and each room had a private bathroom.
“This building was built with public funds in our village. Because it is close to the exit of the highway, our village set up a farmhouse inn. This building is used to provide accommodation for people who need it.”
“Running a farm stay is a great idea! Business must be pretty good, right?” Lin Yue asked casually.
"Pshaw! What's so great about it? It's just enough to make a living. Our village chief takes the women, children, and elderly people in the village to do this at home, while the able-bodied men go out to work. These past few years, jobs have been hard to find, so they've gone further and further away, and they only come home a few times a year... Look at me, why am I telling you all this? Miss Lin, are you satisfied with this room?"
"Aunt Huang, this room is very nice, I'm very satisfied. This is the accommodation fee that I agreed on with Uncle Huang and the others." Lin Yue took out two and a half pounds of cold-resistant potatoes and handed them to Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang took the cold-resistant potato, weighed it in her hand to make sure it was the right weight, and her smile became even brighter: "Okay, then you can rest for a while, and I'll call you down for dinner later. As long as you don't mind, we'll provide a bowl of food here, but whatever we eat, the guests will eat too."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you." Lin Yue replied.
Whether there is food or not doesn't make much difference to her; she can just go into her space and eat her fill later. She just wants to see the specific situation of this village.
After receiving a response, Aunt Huang left.
Lin Yue closed the door, drew the curtains, and carefully checked the room. Finding nothing wrong, she then took out a rechargeable light bulb, placed it on the table to illuminate the entire room, and lay down on the bed.
The bed beneath me was quite soft, and lying on it, the scent of sunshine emanating from the bedding became even stronger.
After lying down for a while, she went into the space and had a meal with Kong Ling. She also told Kong Ling that she could not come out to connect to the parallel universe, and then Lin Yue came out of the space.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Aunt Huang called her downstairs instead of coming up.
Lin Yue put the lamp away and quickly went downstairs.
"Aunt Huang, where are we going to eat?" Lin Yue asked curiously.
The village is now completely open and everything is visible. As far as the eye can see, there is no one gathered together to eat.
Moreover, it seems that everyone in the village has disappeared.
“Miss Lin, we’ll eat over there.” Aunt Huang pointed to a place that looked like a loess slope and then explained, “That’s our village hall. They must have been a bit crazy when they built it, so they made it look like this. Don’t mind it.”
