After exchanging pleasantries, Lu Yuan finally understood why these people had come to find him.
It turns out that these people didn't come to befriend me for nothing; they had ulterior motives.
The young man in the lead introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Chen Bin. Brother, I see you have quite a few people here. How about we give you some money and you help us deal with the sand in our house?"
There's just too much sand, and we don't have many tools. Could you lend us some tools or come help us? Don't worry, we definitely won't treat you unfairly!
The people around nodded in agreement. Most of them came with their families, with only five or six people per family, or at most a dozen or so. It was very rare to see a family like Lu Yuan's with more than thirty people.
Some people had this idea, and Lu Yuan frowned slightly after hearing it. He didn't want to help, but it would be unreasonable not to help at this time.
Since the other party had already spoken, he pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Alright, I'll go with you guys to tidy it up. I'll go get some tools first, but you'll have to pay for them. We spent a lot of money to get these tools."
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, everyone's faces lit up with joy.
So Lu Yuan led everyone out of the house, while Lu's father and a group of people found their tools in the basement and took them out, distributing the tools to each household and registering them.
Lu Yuan didn't want to leave the things he bought with his own money outside, especially when resources were so scarce and everything was very expensive.
Those who stayed at home were mostly women and children, while the men had all gone out to help. Lu Yuan followed Chen Bin to his home.
The other party's house was completely covered by sand, leaving only the roof exposed.
"Oh, look at my house, it's become like this. Otherwise, I really wouldn't want to trouble you. Thank you so much for coming!"
Lu Yuan didn't care at all; he was only out to inquire about some things.
So the group worked hard for a whole afternoon and finally managed to dig open the gate.
Chen Bin was extremely grateful and insisted on giving money. In the end, Lu Yuan accepted a portion of the money as a token of his gratitude, even though he didn't need it at all. After all, he only had some gold, which wasn't even enough to buy a single wall for them.
The other person picked up the key, inserted it into the lock, turned it a few times, and opened the door.
When he first opened the door, Lu Yuan also wanted to see what kind of decorating style it had inside.
To everyone's surprise, when the door was opened, a strong stench immediately wafted out.
The stench was so foul that people couldn't help but vomit, and several people nearby also vomited.
Fortunately, Lu Yuan and the others were carrying portable oxygen masks, which could protect them from the wind and sand and prevent sand from entering their nostrils and mouths, and also allow them to breathe oxygen.
Then Chen Bing covered his mouth and nose and shone a flashlight inside.
Inside the house, several corpses were found leaning against a corner, their bodies already decomposed. They appeared to be some homeless people who had stayed there.
They live in this place, and I don't know where they came from. They look like they've been dead for a long time.
"Damn it, how did they get in?"
Lu Yuan immediately abandoned his plan to go in with them, and left after making an excuse.
The other party also wanted their help to remove the bodies, but that was impossible.
The body was left here, making it impossible to dispose of; the house reeked.
They needed to open all the windows and doors to let in some fresh air, but at this time only the main door could be opened.
Other places simply cannot be opened; if the windows were actually opened, endless sand would flood into the room.
So, Zhao Bin and his family endured the stench and used tools to move the corpses outside bit by bit.
They vomited countless times; the bodies were highly decomposed, leaving puddles of bodily fluids on the ground. The stench of the corpses made one's stomach churn.
Finally, after disposing of all the bodies, Zhao Bin and his family went to check each room to make sure there were no more bodies in the rooms before they were relieved.
However, the new residents faced another problem: although they now had a home, the water supply had been cut off long ago.
Without water, they couldn't even survive a day.
Unexpectedly, they were stopped by difficulties this time.
Without water, they are now in dire straits.
After discussing it, everyone looked around and saw that no one seemed to be going out, so they felt that they didn't seem to be short of water.
After discussing it, they decided to go to Lu Yuan's place to borrow water.
Knock knock knock.
There was another knock on the door.
Lu Yuanxian stood at the window and looked out, only to find that it was the group of people outside.
A look of helplessness immediately appeared on his face.
"Damn it, we can't let them in anymore. These guys are probably all dead!"
There's no way around it; those who need to go out still have to go out.
This time, Lu Yuan didn't intend to let them in; he simply stood outside the door and called out to them.
"Hey bro, do you have any water here?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan immediately understood what was going on.
If he lent water to these people, they would never repay it, so Lu Yuan had no intention of delivering water at all.
"Sorry, brothers, we don't have much water here, so we can't lend it to you!"
Hearing Lu Yuan's words, the people outside were a little annoyed and kept begging Lu Yuan to lend them a little bit.
Left with no other choice, Lu Yuan carried several buckets of water out.
"This water isn't free; you have to pay for it! Also, this is the last time we'll help you. The rest is up to you! We can't help you forever!"
"Thanks!"
Everyone rushed to grab the water, but Lu Yuan didn't mind. He watched them take the water and then left.
After I got back, I received a message from them on my computer.
Chen Bin: We can't just sit here and wait to die! We have to find water as soon as possible!
Zhou Cheng: Yes, how about we go back and buy some water? Otherwise, we can't stand listening to this all day!
Chen Bin: I agree, let's go back and get some water, but we need to figure out a way to get the water first!
At this moment, Lu Yuan sent a message in the group.
Lu Yuan: You guys can try drilling for groundwater!
