Lin Xiuyuan didn't remember this place. In Huang Yunxiang's words, he was still young at that time, and they had been here more than ten years ago, so Xiaojin should still remember it.
"It's a base for the renovation of the scenic area, which is quite economical."
Lu Guanhai said as he looked at the stone wall that was obviously connected.
"Don't talk about this after you get off the bus, this is our first time here."
Su Xiangzhe reminded them, lest Lin Tianhui and Huang Yunxiang excitedly say they had seen this and that.
"I know, I know. Do I need you to remind me?"
Lin Tianhui retorted.
The staff at the registration desk and temperature check point at the base entrance looked at the people getting off the cars with expressionless faces.
The inspection at the temperature detection station is very strict, and even everyone's nails have to be checked. What surprised everyone is that it is free to enter the city and no entrance fee is required.
"According to the base commander's rules, it's useless to collect the crystal cores. If we collect supplies, they will fight us to the death. So we might as well not collect anything."
A staff member explained.
"This base commander is quite insightful."
Nie Qing smiled and said, "After they walked in for a while, they found that the buildings inside were all antique and not dirty, so he didn't think it was that miserable in here."
The family found the housing management office of the base and wanted to rent a house with a yard, but the staff of the housing management office told them to pick any house they wanted, as long as it did not require crystal cores.
"Just looking for a place to stay?"
Lin Xiuyuan asked in disbelief, isn't this too casual?
“As long as it’s a place that’s not occupied by anyone else”
The staff member emphasized it again without even looking up.
The family had no choice but to leave and head into the base.
"Excuse me, is this your first time here?"
A thin middle-aged man suddenly appeared next to the group and asked.
"Um"
Lu Hao ignored him and continued walking forward with his family.
"I can be your guide. If you have any questions, you can ask me. All I need is some food. How about that?"
As soon as the man finished his almost pleading words, several men and women ran out from the side and said that they could all be guides, and the fee would also include food, and they said that any amount would be fine.
"I can do that, too. Even a cookie will do!"
"Pick me. I haven't eaten for two days."
"Please choose me"
The appearance of Lu Hao and his group had long attracted the attention of those people on the roadside who claimed to be "guides". Although the group deliberately wore simple old clothes, their temperament still made people think that they must be powerful psychics.
All capable psychics have some supplies.
"You're the one."
Lu Hao pointed at the thin middle-aged man who had just appeared and said that the man had been squeezed to the back by a group of people behind him, and he was not interested in picking people he liked here. First come, first served was also a natural thing.
"Tsk~bitch"
A man looked at Lu Hao angrily and cursed in a low voice.
The next second, he was knocked to the stone slab beside him by a hard fist.
Lin Xiuyuan put away his ice fist, looked at the man on the ground and said, "Watch your mouth. Not everyone can curse at you."
Dare to scold his brother-in-law? This punch will teach him what it means to speak ill of others.
"Xiaotian, let's go"
Lu Hao ignored the people on the ground. He glanced around and the "guides" who were watching the fun suddenly fell silent and dared not point fingers anymore.
Their guide was called Qian Peng. He didn't talk much. He first planned to take his family to find a place to live. When he learned that they wanted to find a spacious house with a yard, he immediately thought of a place.
"Actually, crystal cores are still circulating in the base, but our base has not planned to collect crystal cores since the blizzard. Maybe they feel that everyone is having a hard time."
As Qian Peng spoke, he took his family to an antique courtyard.
"Is this... a Buddhist temple?"
Lin Tianhui asked in disbelief as he looked at a statue of Bodhisattva in the central hall.
"This used to be a scenic spot. There aren't many houses here. The shops along the street have been occupied, and there are also dormitories built later. If you're looking for a spacious place with a yard, the only places you'll find are Buddhist temples of all sizes."
Qian Peng explained that besides, no one believed in Buddhism anymore.
After hearing this, the family went in and took a walk around. It was indeed spacious enough, and although it was only one floor, there were many rooms inside. It was just that the statue of Bodhisattva in the center was a bit eye-catching.
"Oh, here it is, my grandma will definitely like it"
Lin Xiuyuan said in Lin Tianhui's ear.
Because they didn't know what the situation was inside the H Province base, the family did not let Lin Yunguo and Li Xiuying follow them into the base, and the two elders did not take the face-changing pills.
But in the end, the family decided to live here first, mainly because there was open space in front, behind, and on both sides of the courtyard, and no one else lived there, so it seemed to have good privacy.
"Let's do it here."
Lu Hao took out a whole thick pancake and handed it to Qian Peng.
"Pie? This is a cake?!"
Qian Peng was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground. Then he looked around and made sure that there was no one outside the door before he took the pancake and stuffed it into his inner clothes.
The family also knew that Qian Peng was probably worried that someone would steal his things, so they didn't say anything. Lu Hao continued to ask him about other things.
"What?! You're actually going to sell supplies?"
Qian Peng looked at Lu Hao in surprise. Did he hear it right?
"We just collected some supplies. If we don't sell them, they'll expire. I'm wondering if anyone in this base is willing to trade them for crystal cores."
Lu Hao tried to ask, but the base looked deserted and there didn't seem to be many people around.
"If that's the case, I advise you not to sell it yet."
Qian Peng lowered his head and sighed.
"Why?"
Su Xiangzhe asked in confusion. It was the first time they met someone who said it was best not to sell supplies at the base.
"People are no longer as they used to be. The people in the base value food as their life. If they knew you had so much supplies that you had to sell them, I'm afraid someone would come and rob you directly."
Qian Peng felt that since Lu Hao had just chosen him and given him a big pancake, it would be better to remind these people.
Anyone can come in and anyone can leave this base, so many people are not afraid of anything at all. If they meet someone with supplies, they will team up and fight to snatch them. It was because Lin Xiuyuan punched someone today that made others think that they were not easy to mess with, otherwise there must be a group of people with ulterior motives following them.
"According to what you said, was it right for me to hit that person?"
Lin Xiuyuan was amused. Want to rob their supplies? That would be even more interesting.
