Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 53: The Ancient Exile Control Group 11

In this desert area, there are really few ways to make money.

Moreover, the climate here is dry, water is scarce, and vegetation is sparse, making it difficult for most animals and plants to survive.

Food and water have become the most scarce resources, and people here often have to travel long distances to work or hunt in order to find a livelihood that can barely sustain their daily lives.

Due to inconvenient transportation and difficulty in transporting supplies, the prices here are extremely high and almost unaffordable.

Life in this desert is extremely hard and people struggle for survival every day.

The labor intensity is extremely high, but the gains are minimal.

At the same time, medical conditions are extremely limited, and once you get sick or injured, you can easily face life-threatening danger.

Meng Qiqi was thinking about these issues. Village chief Liu had said before that anyone who destroyed the water source would have to pay fifty taels of silver to the village.

It can be seen how scarce the water resources here are.

Meng Qiqi placed the pot on the stove, cleaned it several times, and then poured a pot of water into the pot and left it there.

On the other side, everyone was thinking about taking a look at the situation here first.

Unlike Meng Qiqi, they did not reveal from the beginning that they had money to buy a house.

After all, they were unfamiliar with the place and did not have Meng Qiqi's fighting power, so naturally they had to take everything slowly.

Of course, they also didn't know why Meng Qiqi was so bold to reveal that she had money.

When Village Chief Liu returned to the place he had just been, he saw that they had already made the decision.

After they were all preparing to rent a house in the village, Village Chief Liu took them to the gathering point in the village.

This is the public property of the entire village. Whenever the village holds any activities, the money is taken from public property.

There are rows of small stone houses around the square, and each stone house is an independent room.

After Village Chief Liu brought them here, he let them choose their own rooms.

After they made their choice, Village Chief Liu went home in a good mood, taking more than twenty taels of silver and a hundred taels of silver notes.

Meng Tingting was packing up her few belongings.

She exchanged her last gold necklace for thirty taels of silver in Desert City, and also bought some coarse grains and daily necessities.

But it seems like there is something missing here and there.

All he had were a few sets of clothes, three pairs of cloth shoes, a quilt, a porcelain pot, a pair of bowls and chopsticks, a backpack, and thirty kilograms of coarse rice.

There are also some odds and ends and miscellaneous items.

Meng Yuanyuan's situation is similar to Meng Tingting's.

Or maybe other people also have similar items as the two of them, just with different quantities.

As for Meng Qiqi, she took her kettle and bucket to the only well in the village.

She looked into the well and saw that the water was almost empty.

Meng Qiqi put the bucket into the well and shook the rope vigorously to make the bucket sink.

When the bucket was completely submerged in the water, she slowly pulled it up.

The well water is not clear and is a bit turbid, but in this water-scarce village, it is a precious resource.

Meng Qiqi patiently repeated this action until her bucket was full of water.

She lifted the bucket and walked carefully towards her residence.

Along the way, some water in the bucket splashed out from time to time and spilled onto the dry ground.

She knew that in this harsh environment, every drop of water was worth cherishing.

Back in the house, Meng Qiqi put the bucket in the corner of the kitchen.

The water in this bucket is the water she is going to put in the open.

As for the water she drank, there was plenty of room.

After Meng Qiqi closed the door of her house, she turned around and entered the space.

I went to the bathroom to take a shower first, changed into a simple skirt, and went to the living room.

After a while, she was sitting on the sofa, eating fried chicken, drinking Coke, and watching the stupid TV series in front of her.

After traveling for more than a month, she just wanted to have a good rest and didn't want to do anything.

The temperature outside is already several degrees below zero.

Although it didn't snow, it was still quite cold.

In the next few days, Meng Qiqi found out some information in the village.

This place is generally called a desert. (You can imagine a place even more desolate than Africa)

And, most importantly, there aren't many trees here to make a fire for cooking, let alone for warming yourself.

Fortunately, the winter in this desert area only lasts for more than two months.

Therefore, the people here can only rely on their own perseverance and warm clothes to stay warm.

Warm clothing: fur, cotton-padded jacket, cotton-padded pants, cotton-padded skirt.

But the above items are all relatively expensive clothes.

The cheaper items are: paper fur coat and straw raincoat.

Meng Qiqi admired the people here a little bit, as they managed to survive the winter with their own perseverance.

After Meng Qiqi finished eating and drinking, she stayed in the space for a long time before reluctantly leaving.

She first folded the quilt on the bed in the room, then spread out the sheets, and then put the pillows in place.

Then she tidied up the wardrobe and bedside table in the room, put the cosmetics on the table in order, and pushed the chair back to its original position.

She also wiped the windows and floor stones to make the whole room look neater and cleaner.

After doing all this, Meng Qiqi smiled with satisfaction.

Although the room is simple, it now looks warm and comfortable, making people feel relaxed and at ease.

Then she left the house and looked around the village to see what was around.

As a result, there is nothing but stones or dry loess.

So she returned home with nothing.

The area here truly deserves the name of a desert.

However, it also has its advantages, as this generally prevents you from reaching the upper level.

Apart from some restrictions, there are almost no laws here!

King's law!

Yes! The law!

Then there must be some vicious bandits here!
