Survival in the fog, starting with a thatched house

Chapter 157: Double Compensation for Damage

The leader of the team was wearing a small flower hat and running towards the breadfruit tree, shouting loudly.

Su Lan was about to go out, but Ji Yang held her back and whispered, "They can't see us."

As the hammock was located at a relatively high position, they could indeed not be seen through the small water intake.

Soon, the footsteps got closer and closer, and Su Lan held her breath.

A pair of hands holding a ladle reached in from the tree hole at the bottom, scooped a full ladle of water, and then there was a gurgling sound.

"Dad, hurry, there's water! We are saved!" the leader shouted.

The sound of the bells became louder and louder, and the people outside simply stopped under the breadfruit tree and filled buckets of water.

"Dad, how long do we have to walk? If we keep walking like this, we won't have enough food." said the young man in the lead.

"Dad, I don't want to leave. My face hurts from the sun!" a young girl's voice.

"Believe me, we will reach the oasis by this afternoon at the latest." This was an old voice, and it seemed that he was the head of the family.

“Even if we reach the oasis, why should they let us stay there? After all, there are so many of us,” said the girl.

"We can trade camels and horses for a place to live, and then spread our seeds, and we will definitely survive."

The people outside ate something and chatted intermittently, and Su Lan felt sleepy after listening to them.

In the darkness, Ji Yang's face moved closer and kissed her lips accurately.

Su Lan pushed him away and whispered, "Are you crazy? There are people outside!"

Ji Yang's hands became restless, and his voice was low and sexy: "They can't hear it."

......

Su Lan wanted to scream but didn't dare to. She had never felt so embarrassed and excited before.

"Dad, did you hear any strange noises?" the girl suddenly said.

"No!" Everyone pricked up their ears, but there was nothing except the dry and hot wind unique to the desert.

"It's almost time, let's go." the old man ordered.

Listening to the people outside going away, Su Lan's body swayed in the hammock, but her heart was flying in the sky.

When she woke up, Ji Yang held his chin with one hand and looked at her with satisfaction.

"You! How dare you in front of so many people..."

"like or not?"

Su Lan: “…” You bastard!

When the two returned to the shelter, the team had already reached the breadfruit tree and was surrounded by the people on the island.

"These people are dressed a little strangely, are they foreigners?"

"Although the girl was wearing a veil, her hair was long and black, and she was obviously a beauty at first glance!"

"Don't even think about it! It's not your turn."

"Tsk, tsk, can't I take a look?"

The girl looked at the pairs of greasy eyes scanning her body, and she became frightened and hid behind her father.

This is the oasis that Daddy mentioned, but why does it look so small?

The young man said sincerely, "Don't be nervous, we are just passing by and would like to stay here tonight. Please call out the person in charge here and we will discuss it."

"Who is in charge?"

"Of course it's Ji Yang, could it be you!"

"Hahaha!"

The scene burst into laughter.

Ji Yang led people to plant these breadfruit trees and solved the drinking water problem. Without him, they would not be where they are today.

The people on the island were quite impressed by Ji Yang.

Su Lan tapped Ji Yang's palm and blinked, "Manager, it's your turn!"

Ji Yang held her hand and walked to the front of the convoy.

When Su Lan thought about what happened in the breadfruit tree today, her face turned slightly red, and then returned to normal.

"You must be the person in charge. My name is Alim. My family and I are passing by here and would like to stay for a few days. I wonder how much the accommodation fee is?" the young man said straight to the point.

Ji Yang looked at their belongings: an open carriage, six camels and two horses.

There were 4 adults and 2 children in the group.

It is definitely not possible to live here for free.

Ji Yang scratched the tip of his nose and looked at Su Lan for advice.

Su Lan turned around and asked, "Why are you looking at me? You are the one in charge."

Ji Yang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, leave two camels, one male and one female, and you can use the water from the breadfruit tree."

Alimu looked at his father and the old man nodded.

They had been traveling for more than ten days. If they continued walking, they would only die. They might as well set up camp here.

Ji Yang led the camel over, asked some questions about its feeding, and then handed the camel over to a designated person.

Raising a camel earns 50 gold coins and 1 loaf of bread per day, and many people are scrambling to do it.

During this period, Alim and Ji Yang started chatting. It turned out that they were a traditional pastoral family from the Western Regions. When the weather was hot, the whole family would cross the country with a group of cattle, sheep and camels.

Life was pretty bearable. If they hadn't encountered this unprecedented sea of ​​sand that cut off their water supply, they wouldn't have had to move everywhere.

The old man and the old woman are Alim's parents, the one with the veil is his older sister Rena, and the two younger ones are his younger brother and sister, Alifu and Amira.

Alimu said again: "Brother Ji Yang, our shelter has been destroyed. Can you lend us a shelter? We are willing to give us another camel."

Ji Yang: Something seems wrong. We are not here to stay overnight, we are here to settle down.

He turned to look at Su Lan, who shrugged. Since he had already received all the things, he could only be a good person and send the Buddha off to the west.

Fortunately, they did have an empty house, Su Yang’s level 3 shelter.

Ever since Su Yang was upgraded to level 3, that enthusiasm disappeared, and of course he never repaid the 10 gold coins he owed Ji Yang.

Now Su Yang was very happy to hear his sister say that she wanted to rent out his shelter.

I finally got to experience the joy of being a landlord, and I must demand some rent.

"What? The rent is a camel. What do I need a camel for? I want gold coins!" Su Yang said angrily.

"People are waiting, come down and open the door." Su Lan said.

Su Yang came to the shelter reluctantly, and a group of people were already waiting for him.

"Thank you, little brother!" Alimu said enthusiastically.

Su Yang snorted and didn't want to say more. Others had taken advantage of him and he just wanted to be a cool and handsome guy.

Although no one had lived there for a long time, Su Yang's shelter was still clean and had all the necessary furniture. Although it was a little small, it still looked quite cozy.

Alim's family's eyes were shining. They had been sleeping in the open air and living in fear every day, but now they were already satisfied to live in such a house.

"Please take good care of it! If you break anything, you'll have to pay double the compensation." Su Yang said coldly. As a cool and aloof landlord, this should be his tone.

"Thank you, we will definitely take good care of the house!" Rena took off her veil and bowed to Su Yang.

Jenna's voice is like a silver bell, touching the heart.

Su Yang turned his head inadvertently, and after seeing Renna's face, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
