687 A friend from afar

Under the stars and the moon, it was not completely bright when we set out three days ago, and it was still late at night when we came back. After sleeping for a few hours at the inn, the three carriages set off on their return journey again before lunch. They first delivered the goods to the alliance's safety in the north of the city.

District warehouse, immediately turn around and return to the safety zone in the south of the city.

"Uncle and dad, do we live here?" As soon as he entered the yard, Ma Yu, who had slept all the way, was no longer sleepy. Wearing clothes that were a little too big, he stood on the car board and stared at the window of the small building.

Guangliang asked Xiao Ma quietly. Now she is willing to call people, but she still needs a prefix.

"That's right, let's go, daddy will carry you up. We live on the second floor, stay away from that bad guy!"

Xiao Ma was not too unfamiliar with the sudden addition of a daughter to him. Although he had never married or had children in his life, he was quite decent as a father. He just kept worrying about the lives that were forced on him.

She was afraid that she would become a bad person like Hong Tao and be spurned by her daughter.

"Brother Mouse, what does this mean? You can still pick up a daughter when delivering goods? Where did you pick them up?" Feiyang had a son and a daughter. When he saw Xiao Ma suddenly having a daughter, the fat on his face trembled and he wanted to go.

Pick one up.

"You are the only one who has moved in?" He was really not used to seeing Sheep at night. Hong Tao said that he could move in in the near future, but there were conditions.

"How can I do that? I found two families from the New Sixth District to move in with me. They started working as a car repair stall with me. Benzhu also posted a rental notice outside. A lot of people saw it in the past two days. I guess

Soon someone will have to ask. The temperature is getting colder and colder. Where can I live in a shack or live in a decent house and be comfortable..."

Feiyang pointed to the gate and gave a general introduction to the rental housing. He also came up with this idea. There are many houses without windows or doors. The advertisement said that anyone who repairs the windows and doors by himself will be exempted for three months.

rent.

In fact, there are plenty of windows and doors, but there are not so many people to decorate in the winter. But he and the two homeless families did not care, and made enough food and clothing by themselves. It only took most of a day to install the three rooms. They only made do with sealing the gaps.

Block it and get a stove to survive the winter.

In this way, no one can tell whether the refugees who come to rent are related to Hong Tao or the others, let alone selling building materials and running apartments. It’s just that not many have the courage to believe it and the ability to do it at the beginning.

But as long as there is an example for this kind of thing, follow-up will be fast. Starting from the second day after Hong Tao came back, refugees came to ask questions one after another. After asking everything clearly, the three buildings behind suddenly became a demolition site.

With the guidance of Feiyang and the two families of refugees, the refugees who planned to settle here gave full play to their spirit of self-reliance. Using only simple tools such as hammers and crowbars, they completely demolished the first and second floors and took back all the bricks for reinforcement.

Seal your house, and build a courtyard on the southern half of the building.

The word spreads from ten to ten, and if this trend continues, the remaining thirty or so vacant rooms will soon be overcrowded. Although there is no rent for now, there will be a future for someone, and it can also become a natural community of interests and protection.

As long as they don't pay too much of a price, they will probably do anything good for Xiaolou.

Didn't the ancients say that a small person hides in the forest and a big person hides in the city? If you want to hide yourself, the best way is to blend into the crowd. The more lively, chaotic and complex the environment, the easier it is to eliminate traces.

Now Hong Tao has burrowed himself into the crowd of refugees, doing the same thing, wearing similar clothes, and living in the same building. Unless they can follow him 24 hours a day, it will be really difficult for outsiders to distinguish him from other refugees.

.

Of course, the most hidden ones are the Slender Monkey and the Water Snake. Since these two guys rented stalls at the Great Ocean Road Market, they no longer need to take living expenses from tigers.

During this time, the goods collected from the red zone were sold, and the two's business became increasingly prosperous, and they also gained a little fame in the market. For example, if anyone wants to find something from the old world, go to their stall and ask,

Maybe there will be a surprise.

Don’t be afraid even if you didn’t have it at the time. Say what you want. The two of them have launched a new business called purchasing agency! Do you want to get a set of old world tableware? Do you want to get some old world clothes and shoes? Do you want to get an old world piece?

The watch inside?

Let’s just say, as long as there is something in the old world that can still be preserved to this day, they can find a way to buy it. It must be repaired and usable, and the broken one does not count. Of course, purchasing on behalf of others will definitely be more expensive than the ordinary buying and selling price.

, things are more valuable when they are rare.

However, what people saw were just two small businessmen with quite a lot of brains and connections. Little did they know that there was a whole team of gold diggers hiding behind them, and most of the things they purchased came from that shabby three-story building.

inside.

As long as they don't get out of the car, a few figures will get into the stable every night in the dead of night and disappear. At dawn, they will quietly appear again carrying large and small bags, and stuff all the collected goods into the third-floor warehouse.

Hong Tao was busy for most of the night last night. Instead of looking for goods for Shouhou, he moved back a lot of solar panels. After breakfast and two hours of sleep, he got up and started working. He first used a multimeter to measure things.

, scrubbed all the solar panels that passed the test and put them on the roof.

"Bah... it's on, it's on..." A few hours later, there was a stable direct current output from the lead-acid battery, lighting up the small light bulb in Lu Meng's hand.

"And mine..." Ma Yu also came over and raised the light bulb in his hand.

"Xiaoyu, this is not possible. It uses alternating current. Lu Meng's uses direct current." Even though Hong Tao is the most arrogant adult in the small building, even adults and children have a lot of trouble, but the children

I also like to play with him the most. Without him, there are so many new things.

Lu Meng is Lu Weian's son. He is five and a half years old, maybe a little older than Ma Yu. Who knows, these days, neither name nor age is important.

"How can I make it light up?" Of course Ma Yu doesn't understand direct current and alternating current, but he just thinks that Brother Meng's light bulb can light up, and he should be able to do it too.

"Hey, this is what Uncle Dafu is good at. Look, this thing is called an inverter. It can do magic and can turn DC power into AC power. Come on, let's screw on the wires... and work!"

In fact, Hong Tao doesn't want to coax children to play, but he has a habit of talking when he is working. When adults are tired of hearing it, they can only deceive children. But his deception is more clever. A small square box can make the original dark

The light bulb lights up, this spell is so fun!

“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”

"The doorbell rang..." Lu Meng heard the noise, put down the light bulb and ran out.

"Uncle Dafu, several people came outside, and an old man said he was looking for the albatross..." After a while, he ran back again, trying hard to repeat what he heard, but unfortunately he forgot the rest.

"Oh, okay, go and play by yourself, uncle has guests here!"

Stupid Pig and Pony left the car today, and the rest of the people were catching up on their sleep. If Fat Sheep comes back, he won't go through the north gate. He belongs to the tenants and will go through the tenant's yard in the south. Looking for the albatross... could it be them?

?

He kicked the two brats out of his room, went to the opposite office, hid behind the curtains, and looked down. There were four men standing at the entrance of the courtyard. The leader looked like 50 or 60 years old, all wearing cotton hats and military coats. He couldn't see.

Come out calendar.

"Wow...who are you looking for?" He went downstairs, opened the courtyard door, and stood face to face. Hong Tao smelled the faint fishy smell and had an idea, but he still had to ask.

"...Oh, Limin Transport Team, Tong Limin, I wonder what this brother is called?" Seeing Hong Tao going out, the man on the left nodded slightly. After seeing it, the old man stepped forward and introduced himself.

"A friend is coming from afar...Boss Tong, please come in!" In fact, Hong Tao didn't know who he was intercepting on the way, but he knew who was coming when he heard the words "conveyance team."

It’s been four days since I came back. I thought they wouldn’t take the initiative to visit us for peace talks, but I didn’t expect them to come anyway. Whether they are friends or foes, and how they will develop, let’s put it aside for the time being. They are all guests when they come!

"Chow Tai Fook, I may have had some misunderstandings with your people on the road a few days ago. The weather was bad in the middle of the night so I didn't stay much longer. I'm really sorry that you guys came all the way here today. Please do it quickly and take a seat..."

Hong Tao let the four of them go to the living room on the first floor. While taking out the tea set from the wine cabinet and making tea and pouring water, he took the initiative to mention the events of the day. But he said it very tactfully, without any intention of asking for guilt, and he couldn't even tell who was who.
