Chapter 89 News from the official base
In the past, the old Taoist priests would come upstairs and use ropes to pull things up from below. Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang were responsible for tying the ropes below.
But this time, it was Mu Qianqian who got off the little turtle's back first.
As soon as Mu Qianqian stood firm, she ran towards the building and quickly disappeared.
Looking at this scene, Nan Ci subconsciously felt that Mu Qianqian was coming to find her, so she simply walked towards the door.
After waiting for a while at the door, I heard Mu Qianqian's voice.
"Nan Ci, open the door quickly, I have something to tell you."
Nan Ci raised the corners of his mouth and opened the door directly.
As the door opened, Mu Qianqian's excited face came into view.
Nan Ci didn't need to ask, just looked at Mu Qianqian quietly, and the next moment he heard Mu Qianqian speak excitedly.
"Nan Ci, guess what news we heard when we went out today."
"what news?"
"The official has established more than one base. Anyone who is a survivor can go there without paying for supplies."
There is no such thing as a free dinner in this world, not to mention that under the current circumstances, even the authorities cannot afford to feed all the survivors who have defected to the past.
"There must be additional requirements."
When Nan Ci said this, he did not use a questioning tone, but an affirmative tone.
Mu Qianqian looked at Nan Ci in surprise, "How do you know?"
"I just guessed, so what's the request?"
"The official denies that the base will be heated, but there is not enough fuel. All past survivors, with a family as the unit, a family of three, each family has to pay 50 catties of fuel every day, and it cannot be plastic or paper.
For a family of three to six people, the daily allowance is 100 pounds, for a family of six to nine people, it is 150 pounds, and so on. "
Nan Ci wanted to laugh a little at this request.
We need fifty kilograms of fuel, and it can’t be plastic or paper. Doesn’t that mean we need firewood?
Why don't you say it directly? To use such a roundabout way of saying it is worthy of being official!
Just as Nan Ci was thinking about it, Mu Qianqian spoke again, "Nan Ci, what do you think?"
Nan Ci did not answer, but asked, "You think it's good?"
Mu Qianqian nodded again and again, "Yes, isn't this very good? The official collective heating is definitely much warmer than our own heating. Living in the official base, with official people watching, is safer. It’s guaranteed, don’t you think?”
Nan Ci nodded, "If you think so, there's nothing wrong with it."
Mu Qianqian was not stupid. Just listening to Nan Ci's words and looking at Nan Ci's reaction, she guessed that Nan Ci was not very willing to go, but she didn't understand why.
If you don't understand, you have to ask. Mu Qianqian looked at Nan Ci from outside, "Nan Ci, don't you want to go?"
Nan Ci's expression also became serious, "Of course the official base has the advantages you mentioned, but it also has disadvantages.
In order to achieve better heating effect, the place must not be too big, otherwise the fuel cannot keep up.
The place is not big, but it can accommodate many people, so how big a place can each person live? I'm used to enjoying myself, so living in a two-bedroom apartment is just fine. A bigger apartment is fine, but I can't sleep on the floor next to others.
It's a little cold at home, but the place is big and I feel comfortable. "
After Nan Ci said this, he saw Mu Qianqian's face full of deep thought, obviously thinking about this issue as well.
After a while, Mu Qianqian sighed, "When I heard the news about the official base, the Taoist priest said that you would definitely not go. I didn't believe it at the time, but now it seems that the Taoist priest can see it clearly! "
The old Taoist priest has lived a long time and has gained a lot of experience. He sees things more clearly, so it is not surprising that he can guess her thoughts.
Nan Ci didn't say much on this topic, but asked, "What about you? Are you going?"
Mu Qianqian's face was filled with confusion, "I don't think the Taoist Master will go."
She only said that the old Taoist priest would not go, but did not say whether she and Zhou Ziyang wanted to go.
Nan Ci felt that she probably hadn't thought about it yet.
Whether to go to the official base or not is indeed a matter that needs to be carefully considered. Nan Ci did not ask any more questions and just said, "Why don't you hurry up and pull things?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Mu Qianqian patted her head angrily, "I've been so busy thinking about this, I'm going to forget about the business, I'm going down now, and the leader will come up, I'm not strong enough."
At the end of the sentence, Mu Qianqian smiled sheepishly.
"Go ahead, I'll pull it with the Taoist priest later."
Firewood and other things are easier to get, but the weight of the large flowerpot is not light. It is difficult for one person to operate it, so it is better for two people to work together.
Mu Qianqian ran very fast, and her figure disappeared at the top of the stairs in a short while.
As soon as Mu Qianqian ran away, the door of 3201 opened, and Li Chuang poked his head out.
Li Chuang was originally tall and strong, but now he was wearing thick clothes and was as strong as a cow.
But at this time, he was lying on the door, his head sticking out from the crack of the door. Not only did he not look majestic, but on the contrary, he looked a bit cute.
When this word appeared in his mind, Nan Ci couldn't help but laugh.
Could it be that she invented the term "strong and cute"?
But if you think about it carefully, it still fits perfectly.
He was thinking about this in his mind, but Nan Ci didn't show it at all on his face. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Chuang.
Li Chuang smiled first, and then said, "I just heard you say that the government has built a base. Is it true? Where is the base?"
Li Chuang asked cautiously, with a longing expression on his face. He obviously wanted to go to the base.
Nanci himself didn't intend to go to the base, but he wouldn't stop others from going. Hearing Li Chuang's question, he said directly, "There is a base, but I don't know where it is. The Taoist chief and the others will come up later. Yes, you can ask them!"
Li Chuang nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay! You want to pull something up, right? How about I help too!"
Hearing this, Nan Ci smiled and said nothing.
The rope is in the old Taoist priest's house. If you want to help pull things up, you have to go to the old Taoist priest's house.
In this special period, no one will let others into their home casually.
Especially since Li Chuang was going to the old Taoist priest's house, Nan Ci couldn't promise anything for the old Taoist priest.
As they were talking, they heard footsteps on the stairs.
When you get along for a long time, you will get to know a lot about a person.
Now, Nan Ci could tell who the three old Taoist priests were just by the sound of their footsteps.
At this time, the laziness of footsteps was heard, and it was known without asking that it must have been caused by the old Taoist priest.
Sure enough, after waiting for a while, the old Taoist priest walked out of the stairwell.
Seeing Nan Ci and Li Chuang, the old Taoist priest was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "You two are waiting for me!"
Li Chuang immediately smiled and nodded, "Yes! Taoist priest, I want to ask about the base. Is it convenient?"
