Chương 919: Found the Herbs

Old Lady came out from the house, "Miss, where did you find these things?"

"At the county office," Chu Qingzhi responded after a moment. "You should move there. It has water and lotus roots, and there are blankets and clothes. Just lock the front and back doors, and you'll be fine."

Old Lady hesitated, uncertain, "Can we really move to the county office?"

Chu Qingzhi, while sorting through the herbs, explained, "The entire town is deserted; you have nothing to fear. I'll take down the signboard, and you can take the deeds to the house. Then it will belong to you, understand?"

The Old Lady had barely ever visited the town in her life, let alone thought of living there.

Chu Qingzhi added, "Once you're in town, you can search through the cellars and storerooms of each house. It's better than waiting to die here."

The Old Lady was tempted but still fearful to take such a step.
