Chapter 235 Looking for a Refrigerator
This period of time is the most leisurely time. Mu Xi originally wanted to go back to Meishan again, but the water at the foot of the mountain had not completely receded, so he could only wait at home.
It was a mistake not to bring a fan, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
The two of them were so focused on getting the fan from Meishan that they completely forgot that there must be fans in the village. They were sweating profusely while fanning themselves for several days before they finally remembered.
Mu Xi hurried down the mountain and went into the village, where he searched for some small appliances and a few relatively new-looking light bulbs.
This trip was like coming back from a shopping trip.
Zhao Yeqing took out the things from Mu Xi's backpack one by one, and couldn't help muttering happily every time he took out an item.
"Extension strip? This is good. It's still new. There's nothing damaged that needs to be taped up."
"Three light bulbs... This light bulb is 10W? The power is a bit high. How about putting it in the yard?"
She took out the largest item inside, which was an old-fashioned fan with light green blades. There was also a similar model at home in Meishan. It was still standing strong after all these years, and its quality was indeed excellent.
"This fan blows pretty strong, but it's a bit noisy."
"There's also an electric kettle?" Zhao Yeqing looked the kettle up and down, "What are you using it for?"
There is only so much electricity at home, so there is no need to use this to boil water.
Mu Xi was dusting these small appliances. "They are placed in the room. In this weather, we don't use the fireplace, but they can be used sometimes. It's mainly because they are new and still come with the packaging box. But it's inconvenient to take them, so I just threw them down the mountain."
Zhao Yeqing opened the lid of the kettle and found a warranty card inside. He smiled and said, "Why did you bring this back? Who else can you ask for warranty service?"
Mu Xi blinked, "I'm used to it."
What we need most in this weather is an air conditioner and a refrigerator. Both of them are too big. Not only can they not be moved back, but they also consume a lot of electricity.
Unless there is a small refrigerator, there are not many places in the village that have not been buried. The few remaining houses either have no refrigerator, or have a large refrigerator, or some use horizontal freezers.
The refrigerator in Meishan's home is the smallest one. It has both refrigeration and freezing functions and its power is not high. But it is too far away and too inconvenient to move it. Horses cannot carry it when going up and down the mountain, so it can only be done by manpower.
Zhao Yeqing lay on the bed, blowing the fan. "Without a refrigerator, I dare not kill sheep if I want to eat some meat. But it is too troublesome to carry it back from the mountain. It is big, heavy and has high power consumption."
She was a little drowsy from the wind and was thinking how nice it would be if she didn't have to carry things up and down the mountain.
Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind, and she sat up suddenly, as if waking up from a dream, and said in surprise, "Tourist area! Aren't there still many things in the tourist area?"
There are homestays and restaurants there, so there will definitely be no shortage of refrigerators. It would be nice if I could find a small one, even if it's just a drinks cabinet that can only refrigerate drinks.
And to get there, you don’t have to go up or down the mountain, you just need to use oxen or horses to pull it back.
Mu Xi immediately said, "Then I'll go and take a look tomorrow." After saying that, he saw that she looked eager to try, "Would you like to go together?"
"Let's go together!"
How can I not participate in this kind of shopping activity?
The two men set off, leading a horse and a cart. They originally wanted to take the cow with them, but the cow was too slow and kept stopping to eat grass.
Anyway, neither of them would ride on a horse, so they could just let Xiaohong pull the small refrigerator, which wouldn't be too heavy. But if they pulled the small refrigerator, they wouldn't be able to pull too many other things.
Once they reached the tourist area, they searched separately for a suitable refrigerator.
When Zhao Yeqing came for the first time, he was afraid that there might be someone or a dead body, so he did not dare to search carefully. Now he is not afraid anymore and he goes into every house to search.
Look at the big items first, and then look for other small appliances after you make sure you don’t have the refrigerator you need.
If you have a refrigerator, move it away. If you can’t find a suitable one, you can only take the small appliances back with you, so it’s not a wasted trip.
Mu Xi removed all the usable wires and light bulbs in case he needed to add to the house later.
In the homestay, Zhao Yeqing was holding a heater and considering whether to take it back. But then he thought that he would have to burn firewood in the winter anyway, so he threw this thing aside since he would not use it.
She happened to hit something and it fell to the ground. She looked up and saw that it should be the car keys left in the room by a tourist who had died of the virus.
Car keys?
She turned around and picked up the key. It was a brand that specialized in off-road vehicles. People who drove these cars were generally those who liked to go on self-driving tours, and the items in the car would be relatively complete.
Zhao Yeqing thought of an appliance that he had never imagined before - a car refrigerator.
She took the keys and went out, and searched the room again, finding all the car keys of the entire homestay, a total of five car keys.
There is no parking lot behind the B&B. She remembered that when she was looking for Xiaohong's original owner's house, she seemed to have seen a vacant lot of cement near the outskirts of the tourist area.
I guess that's the parking lot.
She took the key and went downstairs, but didn't see Mu Xi nearby, so she decided to go and check it out by herself first.
When we arrived at the open space, we saw more than a dozen cars parked there. Some of the cars had their doors wide open. The cars were parked randomly, and there were a few skeletons next to them.
He was probably a survivor of this place. He also thought about escaping by car, but failed for some reason.
It reminded her of the body parts she had seen near the horse farm before, and she didn't know what had happened here.
Zhao Yeqing took the car key and pressed the button. When he saw the bright headlights, he walked over and opened the door.
Some of the car windows had been smashed and the interiors were in a mess.
Zhao Yeqing checked the two cars again and only found some camping tents and folding tables and chairs inside. The boxes containing food in the trunk had been torn open and all the things had been taken away.
There are five car keys in total. Among the four cars found so far, only two have intact windows, including the key to the SUV that she found at the beginning.
I looked around for a while but couldn't find the car. Finally, I saw it in a corner. The trunk of the car had been pried open and the food in the back was gone.
But she saw the car refrigerator she wanted most inside.
The refrigerator is very small, about the size of a computer host. Excluding the thickness of the refrigerator wall, it can only hold some drinks.
The refrigerator door was opened and the drinks inside had long been emptied.
Zhao Yeqing took out the refrigerator and saw that the surface was intact, hoping that there was no damage inside.
Hearing Mu Xi calling her name, she raised her voice and replied, "Over here!"
Mu Xi came over and saw the car refrigerator in her arms, "This has quite a lot of power, right?"
"Let's just make do for now."
Zhao Yeqing stuffed the refrigerator into his arms and went to look for the last car.
I pressed the switch and a beeping sound was heard not far away.
Zhao Yeqing paused and looked around. Mu Xi saw a collapsed building, which was a yurt-style tourist information station.
