Chapter 361: Chapter 361 Temporary Stay

The crowd coughed and asked seriously, "Are you really going to buy our watermelons?"

"If everyone doesn’t mind, you can give all the spoiled melons to us," Bai Junjun repeated the same line.

The crowd exchanged glances and fell silent.

After a while, an old grandfather said, "We can give you the melons, but if you can’t sell them, don’t blame us."

"Don’t worry, if we can’t sell them, we’ll eat them ourselves. It’s just... making jam will take some time, can we stay in the village for a few days?"

Li Wenli reassured the crowd with a smile while he made his new request.

A villager glanced at him, "Staying is not a problem, but we don’t have many vacant rooms in the village, you will have to stay separately."

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun exchanged looks, they hadn’t even spoken yet. Three kids immediately started shaking their heads, "No, no, we can’t be separated, we must not separate."

The fool also nodded along.

Seeing the determination of the children, the crowd’s wariness finally lessened a bit.

However, they were also troubled, as no one’s home had that many rooms and beds available.

What should they do?

"Uncle Village Chief’s house is vacant," suggested a child.

The elders were startled at first, then shook their heads, "Children, don’t talk nonsense."

Although the Village Chief had died defending them, after all, a mass killing had occurred, and his seventh-day passing commemoration had just taken place.

Letting these children move in, not to mention the implications for the deceased, would be a bad omen for them too, so they rejected the idea without even considering it.

Conversely, Bai Junjun and Li Wenli didn’t mind. To them, having seen zombies, what were a dead man’s rooms? Weren’t all the rooms in the Tube-shaped Building’s dead people’s rooms?

Before she could speak up, Bai Sasa said, "Uncle, we are not scared. Staying at Uncle Village Chief’s house, we can even help keep it clean, ensuring it stays spotless."

Bai Sasa’s words made it sound as though the Village Chief was still alive, just away on a long trip.

The crowd felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.

"Brother Zhong and Uncle Brother’s rooms are vacant, aren’t they? Let them stay there. Staying out of the main room should be okay, right?"

The old woman also joined in asking.

The Village Chief had three brothers; Lao Er and Lao San had been drafted, and the Village Chief, due to his role, was exempted from service. Besides him, there were his parents and his wife and children in the house, but all five family members had fallen victim to the bandits seven days ago.

Besides the Village Chief’s and his parents’ rooms, indeed, there were two other rooms that were vacant.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli had no objections, and the crowd could not say much more.

Thus, the house of the Village Chief, adorned with white banners, welcomed its temporary residents.

The rooms in this house were arranged in an L-shape; the two rooms facing front, covered with white curtains, were clearly those of the Village Chief and his parents. The two rooms aligned vertically were the legendary brothers’ rooms.

The crowd led them there, also pointing out the kitchen and the latrine before they prepared to head to the fields.

After all, there were many more spoiled watermelons waiting to be salvaged.

At that moment, Bai Junjun reminded them to bring back the spoiled watermelons, as more watermelons meant more Salt.

The crowd did not say anything but silently left.

It was only after everyone had left that Li Wenli looked at Bai Junjun.

"What are you really planning?"

"?" Bai Junjun looked back at him, "It’s obvious that I want to make and sell jam."

Li Wenli sighed, "In these chaotic times, it’s not easy to do business. Who would buy such things besides necessities? You might as well sell Salt directly."

"That won’t work. Even in chaotic times, selling Salt is illegal. I don’t want to become a fugitive."
