Chapter 110 Renting a House
Chapter 110 Renting a House
“Then we can find a place to go back.”
Qianqian is happy.
"Well, it's a bit far, we need to earn money for the trip first."
I spent another ten points to remove the locators from Yebai and Qianqian's watches.
“This is the map I got.”
Yebai sent the map he secretly took a photo of to Qianqian.
"I didn't see the Black Bear Base."
The map is very simple, just the area around District 15, and then a few lines are drawn in District 15, and the large areas around District 15 are written on these lines.
Yebai drew several lines based on his memory on the original map, marking the area closest to the Black Bear Base.
"I'm not sure of the direction, but the fifty districts and the large district markings on this map can be connected."
"So we have to go to the 50th district first?"
"Yes, there are armies and caravans between these regions. If you follow them, you need to pay points."
After saying that, he pulled Qianqian and headed back towards the west gate.
"Are we going out to earn points now?"
Qianqian looked excited.
“Rent a house first”
It’s useless to have no special abilities, Ye Bai sighed.
"it is good"
Just follow Yebai's arrangements, Qianqian is used to it.
Besides, without a place to stay, I always feel empty inside.
Soon the two arrived at the shantytown outside the west gate.
"Rent a house? Come with me, 30 points a month, no matter the size"
A fat man with a fat head and big ears patted his belly, drank a sip of water, pulled out a chair and walked out.
He took the two of them to look at each room one by one, and finally, Qianqian chose a courtyard near the edge.
In fact, the yards are all similar, except that the ones near the edge are newer.
"Okay, let's do this!"
The fat man collected the points and gave the key to Qianqian. "You're just too smart. You didn't establish yourself and rented a house. The original owner of this yard thought he was so great. He just came from the city, but he insisted on spending points to build it himself, saying it was quiet here. In the end, the yard was repaired, but he only lived there for a few days before the beast tide came and he died."
The fat man sighed after he finished speaking.
The land is free, and people build it themselves, so they can’t collect any points.
Even though the person is gone, they still have a yard left.
However, if no one rents the property, no points will be collected.
"The next beast tide is in six months. You can move to another yard after the tide passes and then rent it back."
While talking, the fat man recorded the information of Qianqian and the other person.
"Although the city guards don't care about the West District, you can do whatever you want in the wild. In our West District, if you enter someone else's yard without permission, you can be beaten to death. So these points are not collected in vain."
"If a thief breaks into our yard and we kill him, will the thief's belongings belong to you or us?"
Yebai glanced at Qianqian.
"Report it to us. Once we confirm it's a break-in, we'll charge a 10% handling fee. This handling fee isn't for nothing. First, your finances are clear, and second, we still have to collect the body, right?"
“If we don’t take care of it, it will all be a mess.”
The fat man looked at Yebai with a smile.
Ye Bai smiled and said, "I'll be sorry to bother you later. What's your name?"
"My last name is Ma, just call me Brother Ma. This is my phone number. If you have any questions, just give me a call."
After a few pleasantries, Fatty Ma looked up at the sky and said, "Radiation is coming. You can clean up in the yard. I'll go back first."
After sending Fatty Ma away, Qianqian asked Yebai, "Does this Fatty know about the fight we had yesterday?"
"My wife has become smarter now!"
Yebai touched his light hair, which was dry, yellow and rough.
"I'll go get some grass. You wash it first. When I come back, we'll clean it up together."
"I'll go with you. It'll be quicker this way. There are so many things missing at home."
Qianqian did not follow Yebai's advice this time.
"Alright, let's just take a break today."
Yebai held the axe and put down the steel pipe. Qianqian held a dagger and a kitchen knife, and the two went out together.
They are no longer afraid of radiation. Yebai cuts trees and Qianqian cuts grass. They have lived through days of poverty before.
After Yebai finished cutting down the trees, he helped Qianqian cut the grass. When the high radiation passed, the two of them each dragged a tree with grass tied to it and went home.
After returning home, Qianqian made a broom with branches and cleaned up the dust first.
Yebai chopped down a simple wooden barrel, two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and two cups from a tree, and then began to make the bed.
"I'll go get some water."
You need to go to the management office to get a bucket of drinking water every day.
"Okay, there shouldn't be anything to do at this time, I'll make the bed first."
Yebai thought about it and agreed.
There is a bed in the room, but its leg is broken and needs to be repaired.
By the time Qianqian finished fetching water, Yebai had already used the water to wash the house, and the water for daily use was in the yard.
This is also the reason why Qianqian chose this yard. Many yards do not have drinking water and need to get water from public taps.
"The stove in the kitchen is usable. I've cleaned it, but there's no pot. I've earned points, so I still need to replace the pot."
"Okay, from now on, when conditions permit, let's not eat food or drink water with high radiation levels."
Qianqian thought all the way and realized that although it was important to exchange the collected low- and medium-radioactive materials for points, her and Yebai's health were also important.
There was no way before, and although superpowers can indeed repair their bodies, it is hard to say about their internal organs.
"I'll listen to you. Don't expose yourself to radiation anymore. Otherwise, I'm afraid your skin won't recover. At worst, we can just exercise more."
Yebai also agreed with Qianqian's opinion.
"But my idea is, why don't we just hunt instead of gathering? Hunting can give us more exercise and improve our skills. If there's any profit, it's much higher than gathering."
“We didn’t see any animals along the way.”
Qianqian poured a glass of water for Yebai and drank one herself.
"We're on the road, not a hunting and gathering area, so of course we won't see any animals. We'll find out tomorrow when we look for them. Now I'm going out to chop some more trees and build a table and stools. Do you want to come with us?"
The grass in the yard needs to be dried, so we can't use it to make anything now.
"Let's go together, but we have to come back early because there are no lights at night."
The two people who had just rested for a while went out again.
After chopping down the tree and two large bundles of grass, Ye Bai came back and looked at the marks at the door and sneered.
The tree stump, table and stools were made, and the grass was hung out to dry. Yebai also made a toilet and let Qianqian take a bath and rest.
"Why are you resting so early?"
Qianqian looked at the half-woven straw mat.
"I have work tonight, so I'll just use the straw mat for the day."
Yebai began to use the stones he picked up to sharpen knives and daggers, and even sharpened the steel pipes.
After Qianqian and Yebai finished their shower, the two of them went to sleep on the straw-padded bed.
