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

34 days before the end of the world

After coming out of the airport, Gu Tongwan found that the temperature in Jiangcheng seemed to be a little hotter than before she went abroad. The weather on her mobile phone showed that the temperature today was 26-33 degrees, but she remembered that the temperature had been around 22-29 degrees before she left. Even if the air conditioner was not turned on at night, it would not be too hot. But this time when she came back, she found that the temperature had risen a lot in just a week.

Although the increase was not large, after seeing half-meter-high grass, strange black cats, and flocks of crows attacking humans in Country P, Gu Tongwan began to pay attention to changes in temperature and surrounding plants intentionally or unintentionally.

For now, apart from a slightly higher temperature, there seems to be no abnormality in the plants and animals in Jiangcheng.

After Gu Tongwan took a taxi back to his shabby little apartment, he first took a shower and then took out a bottle of well water that he had filled in advance from his space.

After drinking half a bottle, my body, which was a little tired from the long journey, suddenly felt much more relaxed.

Previously, she had experimented with well water after accidentally cutting her hand, but unfortunately the well water could not heal the wound. It seemed that the well water was only like an enhanced recovery agent, not a "magic water" that could cure all diseases.

After a simple rest for more than three hours, Gu Tongwan drove directly to Xiaoxi Village in the afternoon. It was just after four o'clock in the afternoon when he arrived. He first went to the town to settle the money for buying land in Xiaoxi Village, spending a total of 350,000 yuan, and then went to find the village chief Zhang Youfan.

Before she came, she took out some imported red wine and chocolate that she had bought abroad, as well as a cool toy car from the space. She knew that Zhang Youfan had a six-year-old grandson, who he doted on very much. When she arrived at the village committee, she saw the Zhang family's grandson sitting on Zhang Youfan's lap and playing with the toy car.

When Zhang Youfan saw the person coming, he was a little surprised. He thought that Gu Tongwan would not be back for at least a month. After all, buying land and building houses are big matters. There is also the issue of funds. Even if the town has approved the relevant procedures, the land may be taken back at any time if the follow-up funds are not in place.

"Village chief, I just came back from doing some business in town. I'll trouble you in the village from now on." Gu Tongwan smiled and handed over the things in his hand, and then continued: "I went abroad some time ago, so I didn't have time to thank you for helping me get the land."

“It’s a toy!”

As soon as the little grandson saw the packaging of the toy car, he reached out his hand first. Without waiting for the village chief to stop him, the active child tore open the outer packaging in no time, installed the supplied battery on the toy car with skillful movements, and started playing with it happily.

Zhang Youfan knew that Gu Tongwan was deliberately trying to be nice. Firstly, she was really grateful for his help. Secondly, if she wanted to stay in the village for a short period of time in the future, she really had to build a good relationship with him as the village chief.

However, Zhang Youfan didn't dislike Gu Tongwan. The girl looked pretty and smart, and she seemed to be an open and honest person. Besides, she was Lao Song's great-grandniece, so she could be considered a person from Xiaoxi Village.

Xiaoxi Village is famous for protecting its people. As long as Gu Tongwan is recognized by the village chief, it means that most villagers accept him.

Gu Tongwan exchanged pleasantries with the village chief and asked if there was anyone in the village who knew how to build a house. She wanted to build a 70-square-meter house with two bedrooms and a living room on the land, and then build a wall around it so that there would be some space in the yard to grow some vegetables.

In fact, Gu Tongwan knew that he could not live in Xiaoxi Village for long. Although Xiaoxi Village was located in the highest place in Liaocheng, Xiaoxi Village did not suffer much damage when the heavy rain hit in the previous life. However, it was not convenient for Gu Tongwan to plunder supplies in the early days of the apocalypse. He could only move into Xiaoxi Village after the heavy rain, which would be at least half a year later.

But no matter what, the house must be built. Otherwise, if it is not built for a long time, it will arouse suspicion from the villagers.

The village chief's wife, Liu Jinhua, who had heard almost everything the two had said, stepped in and said with a smile, "Yes, my brother is a construction worker. He happens to be out of work at the moment. If you are confident, you can leave the house construction to him. I'll ask him to only charge you the cost price."

"How could that be possible, Auntie? I can't thank you enough for introducing me to this guy. Just tell him how much he should charge. I absolutely cannot take advantage of you on this point."

"Grandma, look, my new car!" The little grandson showed off his brand new remote control car to his grandmother.

Liu Jinhua lowered her head and hugged her grandson, deliberately asking: "Who gave it to you?"

The little grandson immediately glanced at Gu Tongwan and said loudly: "My beautiful sister gave it to me."

"Wow, you have such a sweet mouth. Why don't you say thank you to your sister quickly?" Liu Jinhua pinched her grandson's nose and said with squinted eyes.

"Thank you, sister." The little grandson shouted sweetly.

Zhang Youfan watched the interaction between these people and originally wanted to stop his daughter-in-law from introducing business to his brother-in-law, but then he thought that his brother-in-law was also an honest man. His daughter-in-law wanted to make money for him, and Gu Tongwan was anxious to build a house, so this might be in line with the wishes of both parties.

After the village chief Zhang Youfan made the final decision on building a house in the village, Liu Jinhua quickly contacted her younger brother Liu Jinde, and rushed to Gu Tongwan's land to inspect it. After measurement and estimation, the cost of materials, labor, and the outer wall totaled 130,000 yuan. Gu Tongwan simply asked Liu Jinde to replace the iron doors in the yard and the house with stainless steel ones with better safety factors, which added up to more than 8,000 yuan in the budget.

Liu Jinde also tried to persuade her by saying that there was no petty theft in Xiaoxi Village on a regular basis, and that there was no need for Gu Tongwan to install the two stainless steel doors, but the girl insisted. Liu Jinde thought that a girl living there alone would probably be more scared, and it would not be a big deal if she had a stronger sense of prevention, so he stopped persuading her.

Gu Tongwan first paid Liu Jinde a deposit of 50,000 yuan, and paid the remaining money a week later. He also casually asked how long it would take to build it. After learning that it would take at least two months, Gu Tongwan added another 20,000 yuan, hoping that Liu Jinde would be able to build it within a month.

After all, building a house cannot be completed in one go. There are four people on Liu Jinde's team. If they hurry, they may be able to catch up, but they are afraid that the work will be delayed if the weather is bad. However, no one can resist money. It happened that he and several other workers had been idle at home for a while, so they nodded in agreement.

After leaving Xiaoxi Village, Gu Tongwan looked at the money in his account. Apart from the money Jeff had given him before, there was also the last ten thousand yuan he had left before going abroad. The total amount was only thirty thousand yuan. Gu Tongwan couldn't help but smile bitterly, but decided to spend the last bit of money.
