Chapter 709: string
The noodle restaurant and the back house were the only ones left by the aunt. In order to prevent anyone from breaking in, Wufu, without saying a word, took a hammer and a wooden board, found iron nails, and began to beat on the kicked open door to strengthen the doors and windows, and Block unused tables, chairs, benches, etc. at windows and doorways.
Zhang Ruyi was not idle either, she found a mop and a broom, and cleaned up the lobby. She found that it was not bad here, at least there was a stove, and she could borrow from the aunt\'s house, and at least there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Since arriving in Surabaya City, her requirements have dropped again and again, becoming very low.
"Ma\'am, have those people been here?"
Li Haitang put down the bag and looked around, the group of people rushed in on the street, and there were messy shoe prints on the ground that were wet by rain.
"Well, you bastard! My decades of innocence are just gone, and I won\'t be able to protect it at the end of the day!"
The aunt cried so much that she almost fainted. It seemed that being kissed by the barbarian was worse than letting her suffer from the epidemic.
Hearing that Manzi had just arrived, Li Haitang got some disinfectant and asked the aunt to wipe her mouth, and then went to the stove to cook some medicinal herbs for protection.
If they want to stay here for a while, they have to be courteous, right?
The aunt had someone to talk to, and she became more emotionally stable, and Li Haitang finally figured out some of the situation.
The aunt\'s family is in a border town, and later she came to the barbarian with her family to do business. The barbarian likes to eat meat and drink heavily, but he has a special liking for Daqi\'s noodle restaurant.
It\'s a pity that the good times didn\'t last long. The aunt was married for three years, and the man died, so the noodle restaurant was supported by her alone.
Originally, she couldn\'t survive here as a Daqi person, but she would hire a man, and the man she hired for some reason was related to the steward of the city lord\'s mansion, so no one dared to make trouble here.
No, since the epidemic broke out in Surabaya City, all the guys went home, and she was left alone, hiding at home all day and not daring to go out.
There was a lot of noise a while ago, but she herself was quite clean. She thought that it was raining today, so no one would come to the door, but who would have expected...
Now, she is infected with the disease, and she must die. Alas, she has no home anyway, so it doesn\'t matter where she dies.
"Girl, from your accent, you are also from Daqi, how did you get here?"
Seeing that the three of them were carrying small bundles, the aunt asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you came from another city and don\'t know the situation in Sishui City?"
Manzi didn\'t take any measures to close the city gates. Originally, Yu Wenshou wanted to learn from Daqi and set up a quarantine. However, Manzi advocated force, and all the people became soldiers. They resisted fiercely and hacked to death the guards of the city lord\'s mansion.
Yu Wenshou was furious, and sent people to investigate in Sishui City. When they encountered serious epidemics, they were executed on the spot. As a result, more fierce resistance was triggered.
"We\'re here to join relatives, but..."
Li Haitang has started acting again, and now lying is commonplace for her, and she can prevaricate by making up any excuses that are seamless.
The three of them came to see their relatives, but the relatives did not open the door, so they were shut down.
"In this world, who can trust anyone? If you get sick, won\'t opening the door lead wolves into the house?"
After the aunt finished speaking, she realized that her words were a bit cruel, coughed twice in embarrassment, and changed the subject. She saw Li Haitang\'s face, what a beauty!
It\'s not safe for such a beautiful girl to go out.
Thanks to the raging epidemic, everyone basically hides their heads and shows their faces. Otherwise, it would be risky to go out with this appearance. Maybe someone will look at it and drag it to a corner to force it.
The aunt has lived in Surabaya City for decades, she has seen everything, and she can\'t like Manzi.
"However, seeing that you look like the people here, I didn\'t expect Da Qi to speak so fluently!"
Li Haitang staggered and forgot that she was wearing a mask. Her appearance now is indeed outstanding.
Before, she also saw some beauties in the City Lord\'s Mansion, but compared with this mask, their looks were too inferior.
"My father is from a border city, and my mother is from Surabaya, so I..."
Li Haitang gave the reason casually, and asked Wu Fu and Zhang Ruyi to give a thumbs up, which is how to deal with it freely.
"Oh, so that\'s the case, you\'re just a skewer..."
The aunt nodded thoughtfully, "Did I say that your figure is different from that of a barbarian, and you do have the shadow of our Daqi girl."
It\'s a good thing he wasn\'t like a barbarian, otherwise he would be too manly.
The aunt\'s aesthetics has always been closer to Daqi.
"Skewers..."
Li Haitang only felt that she was stabbed in the chest, and silently swallowed a mouthful of blood. If it wasn\'t for herself, she could laugh and twitch now. It was the first time she saw such a description of mixed race.
"Ma\'am, you may not be infected."
Wufu stepped forward to find a topic, and talked about it. After hearing this, the aunt\'s mood improved a lot.
"You three little ladies, if you don\'t dislike it, you can stay at the aunt\'s house."
The aunt took a look at Wufu, she was not bad, she was tall and strong, the key was to be able to look after the nursing home, she was afraid of those kissers.
The point is, all the people who came were old men, and there was not a single young guy. The aunt deeply felt that she had been taken advantage of.
There are many rats in Surabaya City, and a lot of rat poison has been put in the house, and there are two or three empty rooms in the backyard, which are well furnished.
The aunt saw that someone was with her, so she took out the curtain she made, and cleaned up the room briefly. On the table, there was a vase with dried flowers.
Li Haitang feels that the aunt is also a fresh, literary woman.
There is a small vegetable field in the backyard, and a piece of shallots is planted, which is now wet by the rain and is emerald green.
Connecting the house is a big iron gate. The aunt used to live by herself, so she specially built the courtyard wall very high, with a layer of barbed wire and broken porcelain on it, so there is no need to reinforce it.
"There are only some kimchi and sauerkraut pickled in winter at home, and the rest is white flour."
The aunt sighed, in this world, few people take risks to sell vegetables, good people are afraid of being targeted by kissing beasts, and no one dares to make money and risk their lives.
Other people\'s families are living on porridge. She runs a noodle restaurant, and there is no shortage of noodles in the house. The rest are small side dishes in the noodles, but nothing else.
The aunt always felt that she was infected with the disease, and she refused to have contact with Li Haitang and the three of them. She also said that if she died, she would just ask for a hole to be dug and buried.
"Ma\'am, don\'t worry, you\'ll be fine if you don\'t have a fever." Li Haitang said a few words of comfort, and then boiled hot water to wash and soak her feet. There is not a lot of Chaihe at home, so she should save it.
