89. Chapter 89 News from the Official Base



In the past, the old Taoist priest would come upstairs and pull things up from below with ropes, and Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang would be responsible for tying the ropes below.

But this time, the first person to get off the little turtle's back was Mu Qianqian.

As soon as Mu Qianqian stood firmly, she ran into the building and her figure quickly disappeared.

Nan Ci looked at this scene and subconsciously thought that Mu Qianqian was looking for her, so she simply walked towards the door.

After waiting at the door for a while, I heard Mu Qianqian's voice.

"Nan Ci, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you."

Nan Ci raised the corner of his mouth and opened the door directly.

As the door opened, Mu Qianqian's excited face came into view.

Nan Ci didn't even need to ask, he just looked at Mu Qianqian quietly, and the next moment he heard Mu Qianqian speak excitedly.

"Nan Ci, guess what news we heard when we went out today."

"What news?"

"The authorities have established bases, and there are more than one. Anyone who is a survivor can go there, and they don't have to pay for supplies."

There is no free lunch in this world, let alone in the current situation. Even the authorities cannot support all the survivors who flee to the front line for free.

"There must be additional requirements."

When Nan Ci said this, he did not use a questioning tone, but an affirmative tone.

Mu Qianqian looked at Nan Ci in surprise, "How did you know?"

"I'm just guessing, so what's the requirement?"

"The authorities deny that the base will have heating, but there is not enough fuel. All the survivors, each family of three, must pay 50 kilograms of fuel every day. Plastic and paper are not allowed.

For a family of three to six people, it is 100 kilograms per day, for a family of six to nine people, it is 150 kilograms, and so on."

Nan Ci wanted to laugh when he heard this request.

If you need 50 kilograms of fuel, it can't be plastic or paper, so doesn't that mean you need firewood?

Instead of saying it directly, they use such roundabout way of saying it. They are worthy of being the official one!

Nan Ci was just thinking about it when he heard Mu Qianqian speak again, "Nan Ci, what do you think?"

Nan Ci did not answer, but asked, "Do you think it's good?"

Mu Qianqian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, isn't this good? The official collective heating is definitely much warmer than what we burn ourselves. Living in an official base, with official people watching over us, safety can be better guaranteed, don't you think?"

Nan Ci nodded, "There's nothing wrong with you thinking this way."

Mu Qianqian was not stupid. Just by listening to Nan Ci's words and looking at his reaction, she guessed that Nan Ci was not very willing to go, but she didn't understand why.

If you don't understand, you have to ask. Mu Qianqian looked at Nan Ci from outside and said, "Nan Ci, don't you want to go?"

Nan Ci's expression also became serious, "Of course the official base has the advantages you mentioned, but it also has disadvantages.

In order to achieve better heating effects, the place must not be too big, otherwise the fuel will not be enough.

The place is not big, but it can accommodate many people. So how much space can each person live in? I am used to living comfortably. Two bedrooms and one living room are just right. A bigger one is also fine, but I can't sleep on the floor next to others.

It’s a little cold at home, but it’s a big place and comfortable.”

After Nan Ci finished speaking, he saw Mu Qianqian's face full of deep thought, and she was obviously also thinking about this question.

After a while, Mu Qianqian sighed, "When I heard the news about the official base, the Taoist priest said that you would definitely not go. I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that the Taoist priest is still clear-sighted!"

The old Taoist priest has lived a long life and has seen a lot, so he has a more thorough understanding of things and it is not surprising that he can guess what she is thinking.

Nan Ci didn't say much on this topic, but asked, "What about you guys? Are you going?"

Mu Qianqian's face was full of confusion, "I don't think the Taoist priest will go."

She only said that the old Taoist priest would not go, and did not say whether she and Zhou Ziyang would go.

Nan Ci felt that she might not have thought it through yet.

Whether to go to the official base or not is indeed something that needs to be carefully considered. Nan Ci did not ask any more questions, but just said, "Why don't you go and get your things?"

"Right, right, right!" Mu Qianqian patted her head in annoyance. "I was so busy thinking about this that I almost forgot about the main thing. I'll go down now and let the Taoist priest come up. I don't have enough strength."

At the end, Mu Qianqian smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Go ahead. I'll pull it with the Taoist priest later."

Firewood and other things are easy to get, but the large flower pots are not light and it is difficult for one person to operate them. It is better for two people to work together.

Mu Qianqian ran very fast and her figure disappeared at the stairs in a short while.

As soon as Mu Qianqian ran away, the door of 3201 opened and Li Chuang stuck his head out.

Li Chuang was originally tall and strong, and now that he was wearing thick clothes, he looked as strong as a bull.

But at this moment, he was lying on the door with his head sticking out from the crack. Instead of looking majestic and domineering, he seemed a little cute.

When this word appeared in his mind, Nan Ci couldn't help but laugh.

Could it be that she was the one who coined the term "zhuangmeng"?

But if you think about it carefully, it is still very consistent.

Although he was thinking all this in his mind, Nan Ci didn't show it on his face at all. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chuang.

Li Chuang smiled first, and then said, "I just heard you say that the government has built a base. Is that true? Where is the base?"

Li Chuang asked cautiously, his face full of eagerness, and it was obvious that he really wanted to go to the base.

Nan Ci himself did not plan to go to the base, but he would not stop others from going. When he heard Li Chuang's question, he said directly, "There is a base, but I don't know where it is. When the Taoist priests come up later, you can ask them!"

Li Chuang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! You guys want to pull things up, right? How about I help you too!"

Hearing this, Nan Ci smiled but said nothing.

The rope is in the old Taoist priest's house. If you want help pulling things up, you have to go into the old Taoist priest's house.

In this special period, no one will let others into their home casually.

Especially since Li Chuang was going to the old Taoist priest’s house, Nan Ci couldn’t agree to anything on behalf of the old Taoist priest.

As they were talking, they heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

When you spend a long time together, you will get to know a lot about a person.

Now, Nan Ci can tell who the old Taoist priest and his two companions are just by the sound of their footsteps.

At this time, the lazy footsteps were heard without asking, and one knew that they must have been made by the old Taoist priest.

Sure enough, after a while, the old Taoist priest walked out from the stairwell.

Seeing Nan Ci and Li Chuang, the old Taoist priest was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "You two are waiting for me!"

Li Chuang immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes! Taoist priest, I want to ask about the base. Is it convenient?"
