Chapter 23 Exploring the Supermarket



After locking the door, Xiao Yunying sat back on the bed. She first took off Luo Xin's shoes and socks, and seeing that there was nothing wrong with the soles of her feet, she took off her own shoes and socks and looked at the soles of her own feet.

My soles are red and swollen, with two small blisters.

"Should we squeeze the water out?"

He took a needle from the sewing box in the cabinet, gritted his teeth, and stabbed it in.

"Huh, it doesn't hurt."

It's a thin layer of skin; you won't feel anything even if you pierce it.

The blisters weren't big, and once they were squeezed out, they weren't very noticeable. Xiao Yunying took a pair of slippers from the supermarket and put them on before entering.

Although she was tired, she wanted to explore the supermarket more.

A shopping cart appeared at the supermarket entrance, containing her belongings.

As she slowly turned around from the first floor, the roller shutter at the supermarket entrance came down, but Xiao Yunying couldn't open it no matter how many times she pulled it.

"I wonder where the outside world is, and whether it's connected to the modern world."

It was pitch black outside the window; I couldn't see anything.

There was also a small door on the side, which was also closed. She remembered that this small door led to the pharmacy next door.

Arriving at the rice and flour section, I tried to replace the rice bag with my mind.

"It feels so good not having to do it myself."

I wandered around the second floor, grabbed a bag of potato chips, opened it, and ate them as I walked.

"My dream of eating snacks whenever I wanted actually came true after I was struck by lightning."

There wasn't much to see on the third floor; what she was curious about was what the unopened area was for.

I tried turning the door, and it opened!

"Oh, it's an employee dormitory."

The room was quite spacious, with eight bunk beds and two computers displaying surveillance footage in a nine-square grid.

Xiao Ran fiddled with the computer: "No internet, what a waste of time."

There was another door inside, and Xiao Ran was happy when she opened it.

It's a bathroom with an electric water heater. I turned it on and tested it; there was hot water.

"Now I can take a shower in winter too, perfect."

"mother?"

Hearing Luo Xin's soft voice, Xiao Yunying was startled. Oh no, the little girl is awake!

She had the door bolted shut; the little girl wasn't tall enough to reach the bolt.

I don't know if you have to stay in the same place when entering or exiting.

Thinking I had just left the supermarket outside the room, I actually succeeded. When I came out, I saw the little girl sticking her bottom up and getting off the bed backwards.

Thank God, I didn't see her appear out of thin air.

I need to be more careful in the future.

Unlock the door as quickly as possible, pretending to have just come in, and scoop the little girl up and put her back on the bed.

The little girl had just woken up, her voice nasal as she said, "Mother."

"You've woken up. Are you exhausted?"

"I'm a little tired. My mother carried me for so long, she must be even more tired."

"Mom is an adult now, she's not tired."

Xiao Yunying picked up the shoes and socks and put them on the little girl. Seeing that she was still wearing slippers, she immediately threw them into the supermarket and put on her own shoes and socks.

The little girl saw the pinch marks on her mother's hand and asked, "Mother, what happened to your hand?"

Xiao Yunying subtly lowered her sleeve to cover the bite marks:

"Mom slipped and fell just now and got scratched by a tree branch, but it's nothing serious, she'll be fine in a bit."

"Mom, does it hurt a lot? Let me blow on it for you, and it will make it stop hurting."

After letting the little girl blow on it a couple of times, Xiao Yunying patted her head and said, "You're really amazing. Mother doesn't feel any pain anymore. Are you hungry? Your brothers saved some buns for you. Let's go eat."

"good."

In the kitchen, there were no two large ones; Luo Li was left to watch the fire, while the smaller one was kept by him.

"Where are the two of them?"

"My eldest and second eldest brothers are chopping firewood in the backyard. They told me to watch the fire so it doesn't spill out."

Luo Li was still thinking about how he had bitten the woman, and he twisted the hem of his clothes rather uncomfortably.

Xiao Yunying opened the pot lid, revealing three large steamed buns in a rough porcelain bowl inside.

"Why didn't you finish? Were the steamed buns not good?"

Luo Li quickly twisted the corner of her clothes into a flower shape: "Big brother said that you can't eat alone. He said that you didn't want to eat just now, but you might want to eat after you wake up."

"Reserved especially for me? Thank you."

Luo Li blushed and stammered, "No, no need to thank me, it was you who bought it anyway."

Then he ran out by himself.

Xiao Yunying suddenly felt that the shy, mischievous child was kind of cute.

I took out the bowl and let it cool for a while until it wasn't too hot before giving it to Luo Xin.

After the mother and daughter finished eating the steamed buns, Xiao Yunying let the little girl go out to play by herself and rolled up her sleeves to get ready to do something.

The first thing to do is to clean the house thoroughly.

The original owner's room was fairly clean, with only a little dust, which is unavoidable in a farmhouse courtyard.

The kitchen was in a bad state; there were even spider webs on the roof beams.

Xiao Yunying, who is clean but also afraid of insects, said she couldn't stand it.

I went back to my room, opened a wooden box, and rummaged through it a few times.

"This must be the box where Luo Sheng's clothes were kept."

Without hesitation, he took out one of his clothes, cut it into pieces, and used it as a rag.

First, I splashed some water on the ground and then gently swept it clean.

Then he took an old wooden basin, filled it with water from the water tank in the yard, and began to wipe away the surface dust.

First, clean the children's room and your own room.

As for Luo Sheng's mother's room, we'll leave it as is, since no one lives there anyway.

After moving the two boxes containing Luo Sheng's things to his mother's room, his own room suddenly felt much more spacious.

"Perfect."

I took out all my and my children's clothes, smelled them, and found no strange odor, so I folded them and put them aside.

I only have two sets of clothes, and I change them back and forth. It's impossible for them to get damp and moldy.

Luo Xin sat obediently in the yard, watching her mother come and go: "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Mom is cleaning."

"Then I'll help Mom."

"No need, Xiaoxin is too young to help her mother now. You can help her mother when you grow up, okay?"

Luo Xin was a little unhappy: "Okay."

Then, with his short legs, he went to the backyard.

She's too young to help, but her older brothers can.
