Natural disaster at the beginning: I rely on the exquisite space to lie down

Back at the inn, Jie Shu finished sorting out the supplies he bought today. After washing, he turned off the lights, got dressed and lay down. Because there were no entertainment products and the biological clock did not allow Jie Shu to fall asleep now, Jie Shu was bored in every possible way and had no choice but to come. Plate a plate of old wood and think about some miscellaneous trivial things.

Just as soon as he touched the bracelet, Xie Shu felt something was wrong. Now is the so-called spring in Shanghai. After a bumpy day, she has already felt the big temperature difference between day and night that her aunt mentioned before, otherwise she would not go to bed with her clothes on directly. But as soon as Jie Shu picked up the bracelet, he felt a strong warmth. It could even be said that a heat wave hit his hands. This was obviously abnormal.

When Xie Shu got the bracelet, he sat up and reached out to turn on the light in the room. Using the dim light of the hotel, he studied the changes in the old wooden sandalwood.

She had been surprised by the arrival of the hand string before, and speculated that it had something special about it. The abnormal warmth coming from her hand now confirmed Xie Shu's conjecture. Perhaps her wearing a book had something to do with it. .

Jie Shu just looked left and right, but the bracelet didn't show anything weird except that it was still hot. It was all in vain.

Jie Shu turned off the light again and lay down to sleep, thinking that since it might have something to do with this bracelet, he would always take it out and maybe he could trigger some key element again and go back.

……

The next day, Xie Shu woke up early relying on his biological clock and the bright sunshine. After a simple wash, Xie Shu prepared to go out. Before leaving, he put the bracelet into his pocket. I checked the time at the front desk of the small hotel: 3:29 a.m., Saturday, March 7, and went out immediately. The main task today is to find a job that can provide food, clothing, and accommodation before the end of the world. At the same time, save a little money to reserve some survival strategy materials. The more you can prepare, the more hope you will have to survive in the end of the world.

Xie Shu first went to a pawn shop. The boss honestly said that silver South Sea pearls were scarce and he was willing to pay a good price to recycle them. Although Xie Shu was short of money, he would not open his mouth unconscionably. Thinking of the pearls he bought for more than 5,000 yuan, he calculated that the recycling price would be more than 4,000 yuan, so he could accept it. However, Xie Shu said that there would be no public procedures and payment would be made in cash.

"Ms. Xie, you said you can't go through the commercial disclosure procedures. This is... difficult to handle. Although it can be seen without an appraisal that your necklace is indeed of high quality, if you don't go through the procedures, there will always be less protection." The boss. When I heard that there was no procedure, I was a little hesitant.

Xie Shu means understanding. "The price reduction is acceptable."

Looking at the excellent quality and size of these South Sea pearls, the boss really couldn't bear to miss it. This necklace is still a design, with three round silver pearls. If he dismantles and reassembles the three necklaces later, he can make a small profit by doubling it.

"Forty-eight, I can buy a second-hand necklace myself. What do you think, Miss Xie?"

"Okay." Xie Shu would not push for an inch, did not bargain haphazardly, and received cash after completing the transaction on the spot.

The cash was thick and eye-catching, so Xie Shu divided it into two small piles and put them in two pockets, zipping up the pockets. I am going out to find the outdoor store that I just recommended after asking the boss. I can't stay in a hotel all the time. I can't afford to rent a house now, but I can consider buying a tent to survive in a sparsely populated hidden place. What's more, after the end of the world begins, if Xie Shu If you cannot find a high-rise house that is strong enough to take shelter before then, you must consider going to a high-lying outdoor place to survive alone. A tent will definitely be of great use by then.

……

Walking on the road, Xie Shu came across a home-cooked restaurant, Aunt Wang’s home-cooked food. The reason I noticed this restaurant was because there was a handwritten recruitment notice posted on its door:

【招聘厨师一名，月薪5500元，包吃住，每月四天休假，上班时间：上午10：00至下午14：30、晚上17：00至晚上22：00】

Xie Shu was a little excited. He usually cooked for himself at home, so he would not treat his stomach badly. His cooking skills were definitely passable, and food and accommodation were included, which could meet his daily needs in a short period of time.

In this case, Xie Shu walked in to apply for the job. There were only three people in the store, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang, and a man wearing an apron. After a brief conversation, Xie Shu understood the general situation. Originally, the store was simply run by a husband and wife. Their son worked outside the home, so they couldn't take any time off and opened a small restaurant. However, the couple was getting older and their physical strength could not sustain it. Because the restaurant was affordable and delicious, and had a large customer flow, we hired a waiter, the man in an apron. His name is Liang Dong. He is an orphan. He is 23 years old. He is studying in a work-study program and is preparing to find a job after graduation. Later, the couple couldn't bear to cook. They were older and couldn't work for such a long time. However, many of the people who came to eat were people who had a hard time making a living outside. They were kind-hearted and reluctant to close the shop, so they planned to hire a chef. .

Xie Shu did not disclose much information about his life, pretending that he was also a work-study student who independently prepared tuition fees to study for a Ph.D. After some discussion, Xie Shu went into the kitchen and made four simple and quick home-cooked dishes using the ingredients available in the kitchen. Shredded cabbage, fried radish balls, shredded pork in vinegar, tofu mixed with scallions and sesame oil.

After the four dishes were cooked, Xie Shu felt hungry after smelling the taste. Only she, who had eaten a bowl of instant noodles yesterday, now smelled the food she cooked and felt unusually fragrant.

It was time for breakfast, and the couple directly invited Liang Dong and Xie Shu to sit down, and the four of them ate these four dishes for breakfast. After eating, Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang directly decided to hire Xie Shu. A small business does not require any contract. Seeing that Xie Shu’s cooking was delicious, he was well-educated and polite, there was no reason not to hire him!

After having a full breakfast, they decided to start work next Monday. Xie Shu’s contact information was that he had lost his mobile phone and had no money to buy it. Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang saw that Xie Shu was wearing ordinary clothes and didn’t say much. . It's just that Xie Shu decided that for future convenience, he needed to prepare a mobile phone temporarily. He also made an appointment with Xie Shu to move to his own vacant room at Aunt Wang's house in the community behind the restaurant tomorrow, but he would live with Liang Dong. They were already separated and could not disturb each other. They just had to share the same door. Although Liang Dong seems young and honest on the surface, Xie Shu knows that you can't just look at people by their appearance, but now that he has no choice, he can only rely on himself to pay more attention to safety issues. After agreeing on the work matters, Xie Shu left first.

……

Xie Shu asked two passers-by and walked three streets until he finally found the outdoor goods store.

After picking and choosing in the store, Xie Shu finally bought an insulated water bottle, a tent, a sleeping bag, a 60L large-capacity backpack, a flashlight, a raincoat, an adjustable hiking pole and Outdoor watch. Xie Shu knew that these were definitely not enough, but he didn't have the conditions and couldn't buy too many things at the moment.

Xie Shu was about to take out the cash from his pocket, but found that the cash was missing. It really disappeared out of thin air! The only thing left in this side pocket is his old wooden bracelet. Because Xie Shu knew that the zipper of his pocket was always tightly closed, it could not have fallen off. He had not come into close contact with anyone until he got the money, and the probability of it being stolen was very small. Xie Shu quickly checked another pocket and saw the cash inside was safely placed in its place. Xie Shu was surprised and happy. There must have been some change in the bracelet!

After quickly paying the money, Xie Shu put his things in the newly purchased backpack, carried them together, and trotted back to the small hotel in excitement.

This may be Xie Shu's hope of returning home!
