After discussing it, the two decided to rent a house first, let everyone move to the city, and then make plans!

After discussing with Lin Weizhong, Father Liu suddenly thought of something and asked the boss again: "Boss, have you heard of floods nearby due to rain? Are there many people around here who came from the northwest like us?"

He wanted to know more about the current situation. Asking before renting a house should be more likely to get a response from the boss than asking after renting a house.

“Don’t worry, sir. Our terrain is not low. We are far away from the main river. There is a tributary. The villages near the tributary have suffered some floods, but they are all under control.

But I heard that the situation in some places downstream in the east was quite serious, and many villages were flooded.

Do you want to settle down here? Renting a house is a better option. After renting a house now, you can go to the government to register when the weather clears up. Then we will resettle you in the village and then find a way to build a house yourself.

The prices of these houses are relatively reasonable. When the weather gets better, the prices will not be the same. By then, as more people come, there will definitely be more people renting houses.

There were quite a lot of people resettled before the rain, but fewer people have come recently because it’s been raining so hard.”

After some discussion, Liu's father and Lin Weizhong decided to rent the house on East Street and settle down in the city first before making any further plans.

After understanding the general structure of the city, they knew that East Street was close to the city gate and was relatively remote, so it would be very convenient for them to leave in the future and they could leave the city quickly. There were many people living on East Street, but there were not as many shops as West Street, so it was not as prosperous and it would be quieter to live in.

It’s perfect for their current situation!

"Boss! Sorry to bother you! Let's rent the yard on East Street. Can you write a contract and pay the rent once a month?

If the rain stops soon, we can’t rent a house for a long time. After all, we still need to settle down in the future. In addition, we are always on the road. Our whole family lives on our savings. We have no income at all, so we have to save money!"

The boss nodded and said, "It's okay to pay the rent monthly, but I'll charge you one month's deposit, and you need to let me know in advance when you leave.

I will come to inspect the house at that time. If there is any damage to the house or the appliances in the house are damaged, compensation will be required. If there are no problems during the inspection, the deposit will be returned to you. "

These days it’s not easy!

Father Liu: "Sure, please write the contract. It will start from today. We want to move in tonight!"

The boss wrote the contract in duplicate and both parties stamped their seals on it. Then Liu's father paid two taels and six cents of silver.

The boss asked a young man in his shop to drive the mule cart to take them to the yard.

With the mule cart, the few people went much faster. In a quarter of an hour, they stopped at the door of a small courtyard. The courtyard faced away from the street and looked quite tidy.

After unlocking the door, you will see three main rooms facing you. On the right is an ear room which can be used to store sundries or for living. In front of the ear room is the kitchen, and on the left is the courtyard wall which connects to the next courtyard.

Standing in the yard, Father Liu felt that although this small house was a bit crowded for more than a dozen people, it was remote and quiet, so he was quite satisfied with it.

After taking the key and seeing the driver off, they closed the door and all three of them laughed happily. Compared to the cave, this place was much better.

Finally they had a place to stay. The two hurriedly checked out of the inn and started to clean up the room when they came back.

I stayed here directly at night and saved the money for a night's inn.

Father Liu and his two companions returned to the inn, ordered some food, and left after eating. Eating in a restaurant outside also requires payment, and there are few restaurants open and the prices are expensive.

There are a few guests staying at the inn today, and it is more popular than before.

There were several tables of people eating in the lobby of the inn. They should be businessmen who had urgent matters to attend to. They were eating a simple meal of stir-fried vegetables and mushrooms, with a bowl of coarse grain rice.

Mr Liu and the other three also ordered the same food, each having a bowl and eating with gusto.

For someone like Liu's father who is used to all kinds of delicacies from later generations, the food is really ordinary, even not as good as ordinary home-cooked meals. However, he hasn't eaten this kind of combination of rice and dishes for a long time, and it is better than eating a big pot of stewed porridge.

After eating, the three of them moved to the courtyard to rest.

"Uncle Liu, I will go back to pick them up tomorrow. You and Ke Yu will wait for us in the city! You don't have to make another trip with me. Your body will be exhausted from all the running around during this period.

You and Keyu can stay here to take care of each other and have company. It will be much faster for me to go back alone. I can pick them up earlier and settle them down sooner."

While making the bed, Father Liu replied, "That's what I was planning too. I'm really old now, and I can't move as fast as young people. You should go early and come back early. On the way, let Xiaolu and Chenhao quietly pack some things so that they can travel more easily!"

"Got it, uncle. It's getting late today. Let's just clean up and go to bed early!"

Lin Keyu was already fast asleep on the simply made bed. The bed board was simply wiped and covered with straw, quilt and sheets.

I was covering myself with the quilt that Lin Keyu took out from the space. The weather was getting colder now and it would be very cold at night without the quilt.

There are only three of them today, so there is no need to do too much concealment. As for the cotton cloth bought today, it is used to sew the quilt cover. The quilt cover will be covered with cotton wool or down quilt from the space, and it will be used for concealment in the future. It will be comfortable for family members to cover themselves with, and it will also be convenient to use it secretly.

However, these things can only be done after Liu's mother and others arrive. Neither of the two men can do it, and Lin Keyu is just a little kid who can't do anything.

The next morning, Lin Weizhong told Lin Keyu early: "Son, you must listen to Grandpa Liu and don't run around and leave Grandpa's sight, okay?

If there is danger, you two can't fight, just run away. If you really can't, you must ensure your own personal safety even if you expose the space. Remember?"

"I know, Dad. You've been talking about it since I woke up this morning. I'm not a child anymore. I've chopped down zombies before!"

Lin Weizhong tapped Lin Keyu on the forehead: "Be careful when you speak, it's easy to get into trouble if you speak without restraint!"

Lin Keyu ate bread and drank milk, nodding guiltily: "I know, Dad. Be careful on the road. You should put away the food I packed for you. I packed a lot, don't get hungry on the road!"

"Okay, eat quickly!"

After finishing his meal, Father Liu asked Lin Keyu to take their pass and handed it to Lin Weizhong, saying, "Weizhong, take this pass. We need it to enter the city. Keyu and I won't need it unless we leave the city. We will try not to go out these few days. Be careful on the road!"

"Okay uncle, I'll leave first then, you guys be careful too!"

Lin Weizhong set off carrying a backpack and a hat.

He would definitely be able to travel much faster alone than with Liu's father and Lin Keyu.

A man rushed towards the cave quickly!
