Chapter 72 Abandoned Town

The bus stopped in the center of Yushu Town. Through the bus window, you could see that the streets on both sides of the road were overgrown with weeds, and the surrounding shops and houses were all dilapidated, as if they had been abandoned for a while.

Mo Shouchen picked up his belongings and got out of the car. Just as he was about to walk forward, the conductor suddenly stopped him.

"Hey! How long will it take for you to come back? Do you need us to wait for you?"

"No, you can go." Mo Shouchen waved his hand. He was going to stay here for three days, and the bus couldn't always be waiting for him.

Upon hearing that there was no need to wait, the conductor showed a happy expression. It seemed that the last bus could return early.

After the bus left, Mo Shouchen walked east along the road as the woman said on the phone, and then turned into a small road at a fork next to a gas station.

Both sides of this path are lined with residential courtyards. However, because the people inside have moved away, most of the large iron gates of the courtyards have been removed and sold. Weeds as tall as half a person have grown inside and outside the courtyard, revealing the

With a sense of abandonment and sadness.

The woman said on the phone that her home could be found by walking straight along the path. Mo Shouchen thought it would take a lot of trouble, but after walking for a few minutes, he saw a large iron gate in a courtyard that was closed.

It is very tight, and there are no weeds at the door. It seems that it has just been pruned. This yard should be the employer's home.

After finding it, Mo Shouchen did not call the door immediately, but walked around the yard.

This courtyard is very large, covering about four to five hundred square meters. The fence of the courtyard is about two meters high, and there are glass shards stuck on the wall. It is not easy to climb in or out.

While walking around the yard, Mo Shouchen discovered something very strange. He saw a thin red hemp rope tied to the top of the wall. Because it was similar in color to the red brick wall, it was really strange if he didn't look carefully.

Not easy to find.

This thin hemp rope went around the whole yard. In order to prevent it from falling, it was fixed with nails at regular intervals. I don't know what it was used for.

After getting familiar with the surrounding environment, Mo Shouchen walked to the door and patted the large iron gate a few times. The dull sound startled a group of birds in the yard next to him.

After knocking a few times, Mo Shouchen heard a woman in the yard ask, "Who is it?"

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a job as a caregiver. I called you yesterday." Mo Shouchen replied.

"Oh, wait a minute, I'll open the door for you."

Mo Shouchen heard a set of footsteps, and then the sound of a key being unlocked. It seemed that the big iron door was locked from the inside.

After the door opened, he saw that the person who opened the door for him was a young woman. This woman was wearing a T-shirt on her upper body, jeans on her lower body, and traveling shoes on her feet. Her long hair was tied back in a ponytail, exposing her fair cheeks and neck.

Although his appearance could not be said to be very beautiful, his outfit was very elegant, which seemed a bit out of place in the courtyard full of rural atmosphere.

After entering, the woman locked the courtyard door again. While she was locking the door, Mo Shouchen took a look at the situation in the courtyard.

A row of old-fashioned brick houses were built against the wall on the left side of the yard. In front of the houses was an open space paved with red bricks, and a well was dug in the middle of the open space.

The land on the right side of the yard was all cultivated and planted with plants. At first, Mo Shouchen thought that the land was only growing vegetables, but after taking a closer look, he discovered that in fact, only a small part of the land in the yard was planted with beans.

, cucumbers and other vegetables, most of the remaining ones grown are all one type of flower.
