Chapter 83 Weird Village
What do you mean by "ordering food"? This is the apocalypse, and food is the most valuable thing. They are a group of people who are seeking lodging, and you are actually treating them to food. Logically speaking, they should be the ones paying for the rooms.
At this moment, the young man turned around again, with an embarrassed smile on his face: "You've stayed here for one night, and you've provided water and food. Could you perhaps pay some rent first? We don't need much, just some biscuits and bread."
Hearing this, Meng Qiulan felt slightly relieved. "That's only right."
But something still felt off. Why would they use their stored supplies to exchange for their food?
"What kind of food do you have?" Ye Shang asked.
The young man, his eyes gleaming, smiled and said, "We live in the mountains, and there's plenty of wild game in there. We've stored quite a lot of it."
Upon hearing this, Qingli immediately realized something was wrong. This place was full of mountains, but that didn't mean there was a lot of wild game. After all, there was a highway outside, so transportation was relatively convenient.
It shouldn't be deep in the mountains.
Liang You supported Meng Qiulan without saying a word from beginning to end, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out, so he just stayed quietly.
The group followed them into the house, which was indeed nice. There was a neat room with two beds, a table, and two benches. That was all. Pushing open the door, they found a small bathroom with only a small hole, which was also very clean.
There is no electricity now, and we rely almost entirely on torches for light.
The only unusual thing was that the house was quite new, but it didn't even have windows.
Surprisingly, they actually brought a lot of water.
Ye Shang squinted at the water; it was in large barrels.
It's more than enough for the four of them to wash up.
However, Qingli refused to use it. After emptying the water from the bucket, she took out the shower equipment she always used.
They put in a lot of water, heated it over a fire for a while until it was warm, and then the group washed up.
An hour and a half later, all four of them had finished washing up and changing their clothes. There was a charcoal fire burning in the room, making it much warmer than outside.
Ye Shang simply changed into a new black robe, only the pattern was different.
Meng Qiulan was always curious about why she had so many ancient costumes and kept wearing them. From the very beginning, when she asked her, the answer she got was that she was used to it.
That was it. I never asked again after that, since everyone's habits are indeed different.
It wasn't until the three women brought out two plates of meat and vegetables that they said, "We're out of staple food, please make do with this."
Ye Shang looked at the two plates of food and fell silent. Then he called out to a woman, "Please stay here and help us clean the toilet. There are some biscuits here."
He pointed to a small pile of cookies on the table.
The woman in the floral jacket immediately brightened up, her eyes no longer blank, and she happily said, "Okay, I'll clean it up for you."
The other two looked on with envy, but left without saying anything.
Meng Qiulan was about to pick up her chopsticks to try the dish when she noticed it had an odd smell, but the color looked quite appealing.
All that could be heard was Ye Shang's leisurely remark: "If you don't want to vomit later, it's best not to eat."
Ye Shang only smelled a strong sour stench, and even some disgusting odors that did not belong to normal livestock.
Meng Qiulan paused, only to see Ye Shang walk into the bathroom and tie the woman up with a rope.
They stuffed a towel into her mouth.
Tears welled in the woman's eyes as she shook her head and sobbed.
He leaned away and put the door bolt on.
With a faint smile on his face, he said, "Let me explain, so that these two won't be confused."
Meng Qiulan put down her chopsticks and watched the two men's actions. Even if she were stupid, she would know that things were not simple.
