Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Cai Min's main room is designed with three bedrooms and a living room. The entire main room is at least 100 square meters. She and her husband live in one room, Cai's father and mother live in one room, and the remaining empty room is the room of Cai Min's younger brother Cai Xing. Cai Xing now works in a hunter guild under the jurisdiction of the camp. Because the guild has its own dormitory, Cai Xing does not go home every day.

Gu Tongwan found that the room was very warm. There were two small solar heaters placed next to it, but these two small solar heaters were not enough to warm the entire living room.

Putting his hand against the wall, he found that the wall was also warm. Perhaps seeing Gu Tongwan's doubts, Cai Min smiled and said, "The kitchen is behind us. There is a heating pipe connecting the kitchen to the living room, which is heated by burning charcoal. By the way, you haven't tried my heated kang yet, right? You can all try it later."

"That would consume a lot of electricity, right? Charcoal is very expensive now." Gu Tongwan looked at the large area of ​​Cai Min's house and couldn't help but start calculating in his mind the amount of charcoal needed every day.

"Haha, it's okay. My family has stockpiled a lot of charcoal. If it doesn't work, I have some channels to buy some. Alternatively, you can drive to the nearby forest. There is a forest farm about ten kilometers away from here. There are some low-level mutant trees behind it. When my brother comes back, Xuesong and I will run there to find a way to get some branches back, so you don't have to worry too much about me." Cai Min was worried that Gu Tongwan would feel embarrassed, so she quickly explained again.

It turned out that the charcoal burned in the kitchen and passed through the pipes in the wall to raise the temperature of the entire room. This would indeed be much warmer than turning on the air conditioner or heater, but as Gu Tongwan had expected, it would also consume a lot of charcoal.

In fact, the Cai family did not burn charcoal every day. At least when there was only one family together, they would burn the fireplace directly. Although the source of firewood could be obtained from the surrounding mountains and forests as she said, the mutated plants were dangerous, so even those with special abilities had to be cautious after entering the mountains and forests.

This time, the Cai family arranged two rooms for the six of them. One of the rooms was a slightly larger guest room, which was about 20 square meters. What was even more amazing was that Gu Tongwan actually saw bunk beds in the room.

I originally thought that houses in the countryside all had large dormitories, but I didn't expect to see bunk beds.

"My dad and Cai Xing brought it back when they were searching for supplies in the next town. At that time, only the frame was left. Later, my dad repaired and reinforced it and kept it in the guest room. If you are not used to the bunk beds, I can ask Xuesong to move the bed next door back." Cai Min saw several people staring at the bunk beds and thought they didn't like them.

Liao Yunyun seemed very excited after she realized what was happening. "It's not that I don't like it. I miss it so much." Then she looked at Gu Tongwan and said, "Wanwan, do you remember that we also slept in bunk beds in the welfare home? You were under me at that time. One time you hung your coat by the bed. I came back from getting up at night and thought the coat was a person because I didn't turn on the light. I was scared at that time."

Not only was Liao Yunyun frightened that time, but her shout in the middle of the night scared all the other roommates. In addition, the dormitory was full of little girls aged eight or nine, so as long as one child cried, the others would start crying like a domino effect, which even alarmed the director of the orphanage and other teachers.

"So it's the same this time?" Gu Tongwan teased.

"Okay, you sleep on the bottom and I'll sleep on top of you as usual. If you have any problems, just knock on the railing." Liao Yunyun said as she climbed up, and her movements didn't seem unfamiliar at all.

Lan Cen and Xiao Li next to them planned to sleep in the double bed opposite. The two of them were used to sleeping together. They used to sleep in separate beds in the summer, but the weather turned cold in the winter and the two girls were afraid to stay in the room alone at night, so they just slept together. After a long time, they got used to it. In the winter, it can keep a little warm and they can burn less charcoal.

The girls adapted quite quickly. After looking at their own rooms, they became curious about the boys' rooms.

Yan Fan and Chen Yanxi, the combination of these two people is quite novel. At the beginning, Gu Tongwan was a little worried that Chen Yanxi would not be used to being alone with others. Unexpectedly, she was worrying too much, because when she entered their room, she found that Chen Yanxi and Yan Fan had already packed their luggage and bedding, and they did not have a double bed, but a single bed on each side.

"My brother's teammates occasionally come here to play, and sometimes they will stay overnight after getting drunk, so I simply arranged a few single beds so that they can sleep separately. Otherwise, if all the drunks pile into one bed, something bad will happen." The last sentence made the girls look surprised. Although Lan Cen was young, he had been wandering outside for many years, so he had seen all kinds of dirty things. In addition, there was a lack of legal and moral constraints in the apocalypse, so many things that he didn't dare to think about or do before were basically normal in the apocalypse...

Perhaps realizing that she had strayed from the topic, Cai Min quickly changed the subject: "By the way, everyone must be tired after driving here. Tell me if you want to eat anything, and I'll ask my mom to prepare it."

"Sister Cai, don't let auntie work so hard. Let's take a short break. I'll go to the kitchen to help you later. You let auntie rest." When Gu Tongwan thought about having to nag others for several days, she didn't have the nerve to continue bothering her.

"You are guests, how can we let you go into the kitchen? Since you are here, just treat this place as your home and don't be polite." Cai Min said as she walked out, not giving Gu Tongwan and others a chance to refuse.

At this moment, Gu Tongwan felt a tug on her sleeve again, and then she realized that Xiaoli and Lan Cen were approaching her for some reason, especially Xiaoli, who had a smile on her face: "This is your boyfriend, right? Don't you want to introduce him?"

When they were in the car before, Liao Yunyun mentioned to Xiaoli that the driver in the car behind was Wanwan's real boyfriend. This immediately aroused Xiaoli's curiosity. It was not until she got off the car and saw him with her own eyes that she felt that the two of them were really a perfect match. No wonder Wanwan was so moved. Anyone would be moved by his handsome face.

Although Chen Yanxi's handsome and cold face can easily fascinate women, at the same time, the gloomy and cold aura on him can also make people feel a little scared, so Xiaoli dare not look at him too much even if he is a beautiful face, and even thinks that Wanwan may like this type? But when Xiaoli saw that Chen Yan only showed that kind of gentle smile when facing Gu Tongwan, she understood that he was only gentle to one person.

After putting the luggage away, Gu Tongwan moved the snacks he had prepared in advance and sacks of potatoes, pumpkins and other things into Cai Min's living room.

"What does this mean?" Not only Cai Min, but even Cai's father and mother had some doubts when seeing the two bags of things that Gu Tongwan dragged in from outside.

These are some things my friends gave me. We can’t finish them all, so I thought I’d bring some for you. These snacks were bought at the New Year’s Market.”

"No, you just came, why do you bring anything with you? Didn't I tell you just come and have fun, you don't need to bring anything else?" Cai Min's tone was a little angry, but she was not really angry. She just felt embarrassed that a guest came and brought things to her home, especially that bag of snacks, which looked like it was specially bought and some of the packaging bags had not been opened.

But just as Cai Min finished speaking, she saw Liao Yunyun, Xiaoli and others coming in to get things. What they took out were actually similar, either large bags of snacks or some dry goods.

"This is what my aunt asked me to get. It's the preserved vegetable pot cake she made herself. It was her specialty, and she asked me to bring it to you to try. These are the snacks I bought, and these are the rice wine my uncle asked me to bring..." Xiaoli was afraid that Cai Min would refuse, so she quickly finished her words.

Lan Cen smiled sheepishly and said, "These dried black fungus and mushrooms were prepared by Xiaoli and I yesterday. They're not many, but they look good. They're delicious when stewed with pork."

Even Yan Fan, who seemed a little shy, took out two buckets of peanut oil and put them together with the things brought by others.

The price of peanut oil in Moshixia is not cheap. A 5-liter barrel of peanut oil like Yan Fan needs nearly points, which is equivalent to half a month's salary for a family.

Seeing everyone bringing gifts, Cai Min looked embarrassed and helpless. She could only sigh and say, "With so many things, are you here to travel or to give gifts?"

"It doesn't make sense to come here empty-handed, and it's all kind-hearted. Besides, I don't know if others have prepared something for you. Besides, if you don't accept it, I guess everyone will feel embarrassed to stay here during this period of time. If you accept it, they will feel more at ease."

"I've said all the good and bad things to you alone, what else can I say? Okay, I'll take the stuff, but I'm strictly warning you, I'll take the stuff, but don't ask me to transfer money to you later."

At noon, in order to welcome Gu Tongwan and his group to their home as guests, the Cai family carefully prepared a table of dishes. Although Gu Tongwan wanted to help, he was stopped by Cai Min and Cai's mother.

"I'm just cooking a few dishes. I really don't need your help. If you really have nothing to do, just sit in the living room and chat with my dad, or go back to your room and rest for a while." Gu Tongwan and Xiaoli had just stepped into the kitchen when they were kicked out by the mother and daughter.

When the two returned to the living room, they found that Liao Yunyun was already sitting on a bench very naturally, cracking melon seeds in one hand and roasting the other hand on the small charcoal stove by the wall. She did not feel awkward or uncomfortable at all, but quickly integrated into the atmosphere of the Cai family.

I originally thought that the taciturn Yan Fan and the cold Chen Yanxi would be in the room, but I didn't expect that the two were also in the living room. Chen Yanxi was even talking to Xu Xuesong, and the atmosphere between them was peaceful.

"The infrastructure of our camp cannot keep up with the base, but the scenery nearby is very good. After lunch, if the weather is good, let Cai Min take you to the ice lake in the camp to play. If you are lucky, you can catch some big fish." Father Cai took a puff of his pipe and spoke slowly.

"Is there an ice lake nearby?" Liao Yunyun asked curiously.

"Yes, it's just west of the camp, less than one kilometer away from our home. You can walk there in about ten minutes. The lake is now completely frozen, and many young people and children in the camp are skating on it."

"I also skated on a frozen lake, but that was the first time it was extremely cold. I was still young then, but I remember the ice on the lake was very thick." At that time, Lan Cen was still wandering around with human traffickers. During those difficult days, any happy and joyful moments would be remembered by Lan Cen for a long time.

After Gu Tongwan noticed Lan Cen's strangeness, he said, "Then let's go over there after dinner. We can just take a walk to digest the food."

"By the way, this is Xiaowan's boyfriend, right? I heard that you and our Xuesong are both ice-type users?" When Father Cai heard that two of the guests this time were ice-type users, and both were boys, he took the initiative to talk about this topic.

For fear of causing unnecessary trouble, Gu Tongwan did not explain the true situation between Yan Fan and Chen Yanxi to Cai Min. Chen Yanxi's identity as a senior leader of the guard team and the captain of the famous "Hunter" team was kept secret for the time being. Moreover, S-level psychics would be feared and wooed by various forces wherever they went. If they wanted to spend this short vacation in peace, the best way was to conceal Chen Yanxi's identity.

Yan Fan took into consideration that when he appeared in front of Cai Min four months ago, he was just an ordinary D-level psychic. Now, in just over a hundred days, he has become a B-level ice-washing psychic. This rocket-like upgrade speed is bound to attract excessive attention. Therefore, Gu Tongwan asked Yan Fan to hide his strength for the time being. After all, there are not even more than fifty B-level psychics in the Wanderer Base Camp.

"To be precise, I should be considered a special type of frost ability user, but in fact, it is similar to ice ability."

"Dad, their abilities are higher than mine. My F-level ability can only make some ice cubes and ice water for Xiao Min in the summer. A D-level ability can at least cool down a small room appropriately, and I can also participate in the subjugation mission."

"Actually, I'm pretty good at making ice cubes in the summer." Chen Yanxi seemed to be in a good mood, and the curve at the corner of his mouth completely revealed his mood at the moment.

Yan Fan was drinking water, but after hearing this, his fingertips trembled slightly imperceptibly.

Gu Tongwan and Liao Yunyun saw the whole scene and mourned for Yan Fan in their hearts.

"The meal is ready, everyone go wash your hands and eat." Cai Min held the steaming hot plate of food and carefully placed it on the dining table. The aroma of the food instantly filled the entire living room.
