After saying this, Chaoge looked around and saw that many houses had their doors locked. It was obvious that the people in the county had also fled.
When Aunt Li saw Chaoge was going, she stopped arguing.
It seems that it is indeed not as suitable for her to go as Chaoge. After all, the person that the Leng siblings trust the most is Chaoge.
"I see there are a lot of empty houses in this city. Let's find a small courtyard later and pry open the door. You can move in first and then I'll go to the county government office."
"Is this really possible? Will others think we are thieves?"
Leng Furong asked stupidly with a look of disbelief on her face.
"More than 90% of the places in this city are deserted. We are just staying here temporarily, so how could we be thieves?
Besides, Xilin County is in such a state now, who would care about such a small matter?
Unless you want to live on the streets?"
Leng Liecheng glanced at his naive second sister and explained patiently.
When she heard that she would have to sleep on the streets, Leng Furong was so scared that she shook her head and quickly rejected it!
The few of them walked in the direction the man in black pointed. When they came to a relatively hidden alley, Chaoge pried open the door lock of a house and led them in.
"Sister, you actually have this skill?"
Ancient locks were not as complicated as modern ones. In her previous life, she often couldn't find the key to her padlock, so she used this method.
A hairpin can be easily opened by poking around. Chaoge never thought that the ancient locks would be easier to open than the padlocks of his previous life.
"I was just lucky."
After Chaoge finished speaking, several people also looked around the courtyard at the same time.
The courtyard has one entrance, with three rooms in a horizontal row, and the east and west wing rooms on the left and right.
There is a small courtyard in the middle. All the grapes and flower beds in the courtyard have dried up. There is also a well, but unfortunately the well has dried up long ago and not a drop of water comes out.
Chaoge pushed open the kitchen door of this family and found that there was not a drop of water left in the water tank. However, in order to ensure that everyone would have water for the next few days, she quickly filled the water tank with the stream water in the space before a few people came in.
In order to save time, she didn't care whether the water tank was dirty or not.
Anyway, she only planned to use this water for everyone to wash. As for the drinking water, she would find an opportunity to take it out later.
Indeed, she reeked of snakes, had killed a wild boar, and had been traveling for so many days, she really couldn't stand it.
Not to mention that Lao Liu disliked the smell on her body, she even disliked herself.
This tub of water is more than enough for the siblings and Aunt Li to wash, so if she saves a little, she can find an excuse to close the door and go into the space to wash.
“Oh my! This family’s water tank is actually full!
We, what luck we have!
Little pigeon, you are really good at searching. You just randomly found a house and found so much water."
As Aunt Li came in, Chaoge just withdrew her thoughts, and her excited exclamation sounded behind her!
Naturally, her voice also attracted the siblings outside the yard. Leng Xiaoran also ran in happily, squeezed around his brother and sister's waists, and leaned into the water tank!
"Water, it's really water!
Little pigeon, you are so awesome!"
"I, I want to take a bath. There's so much water. Is that okay?"
Leng Furong was also excited, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she couldn't wait to look at Chaoge and ask.
When she made this request, her tone did not show any confidence at all.
After all, in such a drought year, wouldn't she seem ignorant if she used the water to take a bath?
Looking back at Leng Furong's messy hair, her face whose original color could not be seen, and her dirty clothes, Chaoge smiled lightly: "Just wash it briefly, it should be fine.
Aunt Li, did you check the backyard just now? Does this family still have firewood?"
"Yes, yes. Since there is such a full tank of water, I will immediately get some firewood to light it. I really want to take a bath. Otherwise, I am afraid that if I continue to endure the stench, I will vomit."
"Well, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go check those rooms to see if there are any quilts or clothes left by the owners."
In order to take a bath, Leng Furong and her brother, who had never touched water before, quickly helped Aunt Li to carry firewood and boil hot water.
It is obvious that there used to be a big iron pot on the family’s stove, but now it is empty.
Maybe when they left, they took the iron pot with them. After all, in that era, iron pots were valuable items.
Aunt Li searched for a while and found several clay jars. She simply cleaned them and boiled three full jars of hot water.
While the four of them were busy in the kitchen, Chaoge had already walked around the house.
There are no bedding or anything in this room, it's all been moved out.
But the bed in the room can at least allow them to sleep well at night.
By the way, I was busy last night and even missed the most important thing, which was signing in.
Now is the right time since there is no one around. Who knows, maybe the system will give her some bedding or something?
Chaoge opened the sign-in gift box, and suddenly an Arabic numeral "ten" popped out of the gift box!
"What's going on, system!"
When the number was drawn for the first time, Chaoge was a little confused and asked hurriedly.
While she was surprised, her expectant expression also dimmed a little, and she was obviously a little disappointed.
"Congratulations Chaoge, you got points!
Adding the six points you got before, you now have sixteen points!
Ten points will open the first shelf of the mall, Chaoge, are you willing to open it now?"
Chaoge never thought that the number in the gift box would actually be points. In fact, she had never had any hope for the things in this system mall before, because she was penniless before.
But now...
"Turn it on, turn it on now!"
Chaoge replied excitedly, looking forward to what would appear on the first shelf.
For example, a pistol or a cannon, or at least a bicycle will do. At least when she is in a hurry, she can free her feet!
No, no, no, the bicycle is too conspicuous. How could she dare to ride it during the day?
It would be better to have a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-drawn cart, and some grenades or medicines!
Just as Chaoge was expecting, the system interface began to change.
Originally there was only one sign-in at the top of the interface, but now the screen has been upgraded and there is a mall next to the sign-in at the top!
"The first shelf of the system mall has been opened successfully. Chaoge, you can buy any product on the shelf."
Hearing this, Chaoge couldn't wait to click on the product column. The screen jumped, the interface switched, and in his mind, one item after another jumped out like the pictures on the online shopping platform in his previous life!
Toothpaste, toothbrush, face towel and bath towel!
Washbasin, wooden basin, nail clippers and scissors?
Sewing basket, pots and pans?
......
As Chaoge waited, the smile on her face gradually froze.
