The 20th deserted village (middle)
Several rafts were hung on the edge of the dam by ropes made of tree bark, while Chen Nuo and the others carefully climbed up the dam. Originally, they thought the dam was relatively high on the other side, but when they got here, they found that the dam was not only high but also strangely steep.
When Chen Nuo and the others climbed to the dam, they found that the top of the dam still retained a complete cement pavement structure, but the so-called integrity can only be said to be roughly complete. Because I don’t know what force the whole road is broken, with cracks everywhere, but the overall situation is maintained without collapse.
"This should be pushed up by some kind of force, right?" Chen Nuo and the others looked at the raised dam and the slightly strange slope below the dam and thought with the very shallow geological knowledge.
"At least this village is still basically intact!" Chen Rong looked at the village below and showed a hint of expectation. Although many houses in the village had collapsed, there were still some standing.
"Go down first! I hope there is nothing dirty inside, otherwise we have to spend the night outside again." Chen Nuo looked at the deserted village under the twilight, and the village had a very terrifying feeling under the twilight that was gradually coming.
"It's a bit gloomy! I guess there are a lot of dirty things! I'll light the holy oil lamp later... although it may not be useful." Chen Rong looked at the village and shrank his neck.
"Yeah!" Chen Nuo nodded and then walked down the embankment first, heading towards the village behind the embankment.
When approaching the village, Chen Nuo and the others could see from the walls of the village that this village was quite wealthy. In fact, before the disaster came, the whole Xia Dynasty could not be said to be rich, but there were not many poor people in the southeast. Of course, those who were too lazy could not be said, after all, they were reluctant to do work and wanted to make a fortune unless they had a pie in the sky.
Although most of the wall tiles fell under the erosion of wind and rain, the remaining walls still seem to understand that the exterior walls must have been decorated when these houses were built.
"Give a knife to the wall first! Then go in and find something!" Chen Nuo whispered to the orphans behind him. The light around him had become a little dim under the twilight.
"By the way, should we light the bonfire first?" Fatty Li looked at the surrounding environment, and it seemed like there was something hidden in the gloomy environment.
"right!"
"It's time to light a bonfire! It can not only light it, but also drive away the cold!"
"Look around to see if there is firewood!"
"This beam is still dry! It's almost done with chopping it as firewood!"
The noisy sound rang out quickly. When Chen Nuo was still studying whether the place was in danger, a group of people had already lit the bonfire, because a dry firewood (beam) could be found in the house.
In fact, they could say that they had the first to receive the goods, which was the decayed broken sofa thrown into the bonfire. When they were vacancies out the sofa, they drove away a nest of mice.
In fact, they originally wanted to catch the mice as food, but unfortunately the mice flowed too fast and before they could react, the mice had already crawled into the dark hole.
"This village is probably evacuated." Chen Rong walked carefully behind Chen Nuo. In front of them was a three-story building with broken walls. However, the third floor of the building was damaged, and the broken glass windows and the weed-covered courtyard looked very dilapidated.
"This door is locked! I guess I'm still thinking about coming back! So the probability of evacuation is very high." Chen Nuo said, looking at the locked door and the cleaner ground. Although the yard is full of weeds and branches, there are no other messy things, which means that the owner of the house still has plenty of time when evacuating.
"But since you took the initiative to evacuate? What happened to the person who died in the car?" Chen Rong thought about the car. According to the direction of the front of the car, he should have driven out of this village. If he evacuated in advance, he would not encounter danger.
"Maybe I'm coming back to find something! You know, there will always be people who will lose it. Maybe something important is left at home and then drive back to find it, but..." Chen Nuo did not continue and cut open the lock on the door with Qiuye. Although the lock on the door was still a very advanced fingerprint lock back then. But firstly, the battery in the lock box had long disappeared, and secondly, Chen Nuo and the others had no fingerprints, so it is more convenient to cut it with one knife with an extraordinary weapon than pry it open.
"Bang!" Because the door of the room was completely rusted, Chen Nuo even cut the lock, and finally kicked it down before opening the door. After stepping into the door, a scent of mold and animal feces came to his face, which made Chen Nuo and the others even had to cover their noses and retreat.
"This smell... is so exciting!" Chen Nuo said with an ugly expression. God knows why such a strong odor accumulates in the room.
"Probably because the windows are relatively complete and the whole room is very closed!" Chen Rong pinched his nose. He didn't dare to light the torch now because a large amount of feces might ferment and produce methane. He did smell a rotten egg.
"Let's wait for the taste to spread! I don't know what's left inside. If I take the initiative to evacuate, there will probably be nothing valuable." Chen Nuo poked his head and looked into the room. Perhaps because of animal visitors, the room was messy, and the piles of unknown things on the ground exuded a disgusting smell.
"Cleaning it and at least you can live in someone! Maybe we can stay here for the time being!" Chen Rong frowned as he looked at the situation inside the house, but he thought this place was pretty good, at least it was a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
"By the way! Have you seen the famous brands of this village? We can look at the map later and probably find it on that old map." Chen Nuo suddenly thought of this matter. As long as the location of this village can be determined, the direction of the railway can be roughly calculated.
"It seems to be called Xi Village..." Chen Rong thought for a while and ran out to look at the door sign on the gate. Unfortunately, the door sign was missing a corner and could only see No. 05 of Xi Village.
"Then look for other places later! Let's see what can be used in this room first, hoping to find some salt, even the condensed salt blocks." Chen Nuo walked into the house with anticipation, and then Chen Rong also lit a torch and followed him to illuminate it.
Under the orange torches, the furnishings in the house were clearly displayed in front of Chen Nuo and the others. Excluding those disgusting poop and leftover corpses of small animals, the furnishings in this living room are quite high-end.
"Link Crystal TV! Unfortunately, the screen is broken, and it has been useless after so many years. The chair seems to be mahogany, and it has been worn out by the claws of any animal." Chen Rong then looked at the furnishings in the living room. Unfortunately, no matter how good the decoration is, it becomes very ugly under the destruction of those small animals. No matter how good the furniture is, it cannot escape the animal's minions.
After checking, Chen Nuo and the others found nothing good, but they caught a wild boar that had not had time to escape. They found a refrigerator in the house, but unfortunately there was nothing in the refrigerator except a pile of smelly garbage.
They found a salt bag, but unfortunately not only people want to eat salt, animals also want to eat salt. These salt bags are left with some mouse hair, and no grain of salt is left for Chen Nuo and the others.
