Chapter 318 Extremely Hot. Extremely Hot
When they returned to the villa, it was the hottest time of the day. They hurried back to the house to escape the heat, thinking of going to see Li Qing in the evening. However, around four in the afternoon, they vaguely heard a noise coming from outside.
Gu Ye looked out the back window and felt that something had gone wrong in the basement, so the two of them hurriedly put on protective clothing and went out.
Coming out of the villa, you need to walk straight up the mountain for 300 meters, then turn left and walk 400 meters before you can see the entrance to the basement.
It used to be a small floor-to-ceiling window. Gu Ye had already dug up the surrounding soil and built a five-step earthen staircase leading down to the basement so that the window no longer had to bend over to enter.
At this time, there were more than a dozen people at the door, but except for Gangzi, Jiang Tuo and He Xun, they were all moving things to the basement.
The three of them were arguing with an old couple on the top of the mountain and an old man who lived alone.
Chu An frowned. He had felt that there was no need to ask for their opinions on this matter. After all, this place had been deserted and he didn't know how many people had lived here.
But she still felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the conflict between the two sides. These neighbors gave her a good impression, not to mention Li Qing, who was one of their own.
Alas, there is no way to take sides. But if I must take sides, I have to side with Li Qing.
He Xun saw Chu An first, and hurried over to greet her, saying, "Sister An, Sister An, you are here."
When the others saw them, they stopped arguing and looked over. Fortunately, everyone was standing in the shade, out of the direct sunlight.
Gu Ye asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
He Xun whispered, "They don't agree with us living here. They think it poses a threat to their safety."
As they were talking, the three of them came up to the old couple. Chu An still explained politely, "It was my negligence that I didn't inform you in advance, but I can guarantee that they are not bad people."
The lonely old man took off his sun hat and wiped the sweat from his head. His face turned red, not sure whether it was because of the heat or because of anger.
"Girl, if you say they are not bad people, then they are not. It is easy for people to become bad these days." He scolded while fanning himself with his hat, "How many neighbors here used to be friendly with each other, but in the end they still wanted to steal our things."
The faces of the elderly couple next to them were not very good either. The old man spoke first, "We thought you were pitiful because you only had two children. We didn't say much about you living here, but now that you brought so many people, that's absolutely not okay."
Chu An understood that they were worried about their own safety, but these words were a bit excessive, and she was not a pushover.
"Then I want to ask, did those security guards live here with your permission?"
The three were speechless, and it was the old man who lived alone who spoke first, "They...they are bullies, how can you compare them."
Gu Ye smiled bitterly, "So you guys are just bullying the weak ones. If you can't afford to offend the bullies, just ignore them. Do you think we are easy to bully, so you want to chase them away?"
Gangzi and Jiang Tuo understood what was said and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At first they thought that there really was someone in charge here, and that they had offended that person, and were trying hard to explain that they were good people.
Chu An finally said, if you feel it is inappropriate, just treat them as bullies.
He Xun was even more ruthless, "How about we rob you too?"
The three men blinked their eyes, and seeing that they were outnumbered, they went back in shame.
Since they were already here, they didn't plan to go back, so they went in to see if they could help out. Gangzi was not willing to let them do anything, so he let them sit in the cave he had just cleaned.
After a while, He Xun came in to chat with the two of them. "I think these three people may have seen Aunt Han and the other three women and Duoduo come here first, and thought they were coming with their families. If we, the grown men, had come first, they wouldn't have dared to come."
Chu An didn't feel anything, and didn't want to have anything to do with them, but he still reminded them, "From what I can see so far, these people are not bad people. If you don't find them doing anything beyond the rules, just treat them as if they don't exist."
She thought to herself that she would tell Li Qing later, and it would be best if both parties could live in peace.
They were busy until ten o'clock in the evening. When all the people and things were moved in, Li Qing and Gangzi were soaked in sweat and their faces were dark.
There are a total of 21 caves here, some big and some small. 14 of them are used for living, 4 are used for storing supplies, 2 are used as bathrooms, and 1 is used as a kitchen.
The kitchen is located in the outermost cave, and meals are eaten in the 100-square-meter open space outside. The open space can also be used as an activity room for playing poker or mahjong.
Everyone is quite satisfied with this place, mainly because it is cool. It is about 23 or 24 degrees now, which is a bit cold for the elderly and children. In the innermost part where there is a well, there is a temperature difference of 3 to 4 degrees.
Li Qing planned to dig a swimming pool in the back, fill it with water at ordinary times, and take a bath in it when it was hot. In any case, the water problem was solved here, and water could keep him alive.
Before Chu An left, he asked Li Qing if he knew about the Infinite Alliance. Li Qing scratched his head and said he had never heard of it.
However, there is a clue about the symbol that Chu An asked him to inquire about last time, but the person who knows the answer has been disconnected from the Internet recently, so he has to wait until he gets back online before he can contact him.
Chu An understood and took Gu Ye back to the villa. Everyone greeted her and said goodbye to her. They finally had a clear understanding of the girl that Li Qing often praised: she was beautiful and kind-hearted.
Old Man Wei looked at the backs of Chu An and Gu Ye as they left, and punched Li Qing, "Why can't you compete with them?"
Li Qing scratched his head, not knowing what the old man was doing crazy again. Duoduo hugged his legs and said he was sleepy and wanted to sleep.
Li Qing picked up the baby and walked her to his own cave. When she was 8 years old, he let her sleep with Aunt Han.
The little baby lay obediently on Li Qing's shoulder with his head tilted. When he passed by Old Man Wei, he pouted at him. Of course, no one saw it.
In the next few days, Chu An and Gu Ye did not leave the villa. The temperature changed every day and finally climbed to 66 degrees, causing communication interruption for two days, but it was quickly restored.
In fact, a temperature of 66°C has occurred in history in a town abroad.
It was reported at the time that car headlights were melted by the sun, cracks appeared on the asphalt road, and the plastic shells on the outer layers of the cables gradually melted, making going out like walking on a teppanyaki grill.
The high temperature lasted for half a month, the earth dried up, and the plants died.
At that time, when one side was in trouble, all sides came to its aid, and no casualties were caused. But now all sides are in trouble, and it is not certain who will support whom.
Chu An and Gu Ye cleaned up the largest room, moved out all the furniture, and took out the 3.3*3 meter washroom in the space, which was just enough to accommodate the furniture.
There is a 10cm water circulation system outside the water room, which can keep the temperature at a certain level. At present, it can be controlled at around 30 degrees. Two people turn on the cooling fan in the water room, and the body temperature can be maintained at 25 or 6 degrees, which is quite comfortable.
There is a bunk bed in the bathroom, and a small shelf is placed in the gap between the bed and the wall to store daily necessities for two people.
The saved space is divided into two parts, the left side is the kitchen, and the right side is the cloakroom. Otherwise it would be too inconvenient for the two of them to go in and out to change clothes.
