Xu Ling was about to say something, but Li Mu spoke first: "Haha, old village chief, don't worry, we have no ill intentions. It's just that it's getting late, and we happened to be passing by your village, so we wanted to stay here for one night."
"Don't worry, we will pay you." Li Mu said as he turned around and reached into the car. Using the car as a cover, he took out a pack of commonly used medicines from the Qiankun Ring and handed it to Yang Hong. These were the medicines he put into the Qiankun Ring when he was wiping out the gang in the mall.
When Yang Hong saw the medicine that Li Mu handed to him, he hesitated for a while, but finally took it. If Li Mu gave him a bag of food, he would definitely not even look at it, but Li Mu gave him medicine, which he really could not refuse. There was indeed a shortage of medicine in their village at the moment. After all, the villagers did not have the habit of hoarding medicine, and there were no pharmacies or clinics in their village.
As for food, they were not short of it. Although every household had a lot of surplus food, they didn't know how long this extreme weather would last. Even if they had a lot of food in stock, they would not be able to afford to eat it all up! However, their needs were large, so if it was only a few hundred kilograms, there was no need to take the risk.
"It's not impossible for you to live with us, but you have to answer a few questions for me first," said Yang Hong.
"Haha, you say." Li Mu said with a smile.
"Where are you from? Where are you going?" Yang Hong asked.
"We came from Haidu and plan to go to Northern Xinjiang. The homes of these three girls are in Northern Xinjiang." Li Mu said truthfully.
"Go to Northern Xinjiang!" Everyone was stunned. Northern Xinjiang is more than 4,000 kilometers away from here! In the current environment, they dare not even think about traveling more than 4,000 kilometers.
"I understand." Yang Hong nodded. Li Mu didn't look like he was lying. Since he was passing by their village, he felt relieved. Since he had accepted Li Mu's things, he naturally had to do things for Li Mu and his friends. So he said to a middle-aged man beside him, "Adong, take some people to vacate Old Yang's house and give it to these guests!"
After hearing Yang Hong's explanation, the middle-aged man named Adong was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, called a few young men from the crowd, and walked hurriedly towards a house not far from the village entrance with the tools in his hands.
Watching A Dong and the others leave, Yang Hong said to Li Mu, "Little brother, I won't hide it from you. Old Yang was a lonely old man. He froze to death in his house two months ago, so his house is empty now. But we have already carried his body outside the village and buried it. I will arrange for you to live there. You don't mind, right?"
"No, I don't mind these things." Li Mu said calmly.
Xu Ling and the other two also shook their heads. Over the past few months, they had seen too many corpses in all kinds of tragic conditions, and they had long been immune to them.
"Haha, that's good." Yang Hong laughed, and then said to the villagers around him: "Everyone, go away! The pots at home are almost burnt dry."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this and they all ran home in a hurry. Apparently, they had just come out to join in the fun and forgot that there was still food cooking in the pot at home.
"What are you guys doing? Can you afford to pay for the damages to the guests' things? Get out of here right now and don't embarrass our Yangjia Village here!" Yang Hong said angrily to the young men.
I saw several young men coming up to Li Mu's car, touching the outer surface of the car and looking here and there.
Although they have been staying in this village since the snowstorm and have not had any contact with the outside world, they don't have much idea about the mechanical transportation tools that can be started in this doomsday. But after all, the Tiange car was a top luxury car before the snowstorm, and it was the only car that could fly into the sky. It was a true high-tech product. They had only seen it in the media. This was the first time they saw it in real life, so they were naturally curious. It was also because their mobile phones had run out of battery, otherwise they would have taken a lot of photos of the car in front of them and posted a photo of themselves following the car to their friends. Wow~ perfect!
However, Yang Hong's roar pulled them back to reality from their sweet dreams. Looking at the old village chief with a livid face, several people ran away.
"My dear friends, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. We are kids from the mountains and have never seen the world. If they damage your car, will we compensate you with food?" Yang Hong said nervously. He didn't recognize any car brands, but since this car could fly into the sky, it must be worth a lot of money.
"Haha, it's okay. My car is not that delicate." Li Mu smiled indifferently. Just kidding. His car had been hit by countless bullets in the past two days. It was nothing serious. If they asked for compensation for food just by touching it twice, that would be pure fraud.
"That's good, that's good!" Yang Hong patted his chest, and then said to Li Mu and the others: "Everyone, you must be hungry after traveling all day. Have dinner at my house tonight! Haha, to be honest, I do feel a little sorry for taking so many medicines from you and only letting you stay for one night."
Since he had already agreed to let Li Mu and his companions stay in the village, they were also considered guests. He would naturally have to make good arrangements for them, at least making sure the guests had enough food, right?
"How about? Why don't you stay a few more nights?" Yang Hong added with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.
"No, we'll just stay for one night and we have to hurry on our way. As for the medicines, they were picked up on the road before. They take up space in the car, and it would be a pity to throw them away." Li Mu said.
"Haha~ Fine then, I'll shamelessly take advantage of you this time." Yang Hong said with a smile. After chatting with Li Mu for a few sentences, he let down his guard a lot.
Not long after, Li Mu and his party, led by Yang Hong, arrived at a small farmyard, which was Yang Hong's home.
"Old lady, add a few more dishes, guests are coming." Yang Hong shouted loudly.
"I got it." An old woman's voice came from the house. She had just heard that a few strangers had come to the village and would stay overnight. She had long guessed that Yang Hong would bring them back for dinner. After all, they had been married for so many years, and no one knew Yang Hong's character better than her.
"Grandpa Village Chief, why is there no snow in your village?" Xu Ling couldn't help but ask. In fact, she had this question since they landed in the village, but she never had the chance to ask. Besides, this might involve the privacy of the villagers. After all, there is nearly 10 meters of snow! And the snow in the whole village has been cleaned up. This is not something that can be done by manpower, and it is difficult to do even with large machinery.
This question kept lingering in Xu Ling's mind, and now he couldn't help but raise it carefully.
Xu Ling’s question was actually what Li Mu was confused about, and this was the reason why he asked Jia Qian to drive the car to this village.
