Chapter 184 Visible, Intangible
Fortunately, Cheng Mu didn't feel so uncomfortable after turning his attention to looking for supplies.
But on such a hot day, he never stopped sweating.
Cheng Mu now basically has to take some ice water from the storage box and pour it in every ten minutes to cool down.
Otherwise, it would be too hot and I couldn’t bear it.
He himself has nothing to do, but no matter what, he has to consider his good brother.
As we all know, Cheng Mu has always been a person who pays attention to the feelings of others.
………
After another hour or two of walking on the road, it was past six o'clock in a blink of an eye. Although the sun had set a little lower, it was still scorching.
It's time to find a place to spend the night, Cheng Mu thought in his heart.
He looked ahead. In addition to the visible and intangible palace, there were some large houses on both sides of the road, such as the house not far ahead on the right.
Cheng Mu walked into the house and looked up. There was a huge plaque on it, with four big characters written in flying phoenixes: Chengyi Uncle's Mansion, which looked quite impressive.
Looking at the size of the house from the outside, it was quite small and could be considered a mansion. However, he had never lived in such an ancient style house and didn't know what it would be like inside.
As Cheng Mu walked around this area for a day, the deeper he went, the more luxurious the houses on both sides of the road became.
At the beginning, there were only some white supply boxes in most of the houses there, and then as I walked, I could find some yellow ones.
As for the house in front of him, it is estimated that he can get a purple supply box for him.
This house has white walls and red tiles, and the mottled walls bear traces of time. However, it does not appear dilapidated, but has a unique charm.
The two doors under the plaque were several meters high. The doors were made of wood and were very hard. Cheng Mu scratched them hard with a knife, leaving only a shallow mark.
It would be nice to dismantle this door to make an explosion-proof shield, but the quality of the treasures in the palace must be better than these.
For a little earl, even the door is so luxurious, so you can imagine what the palace looks like.
Cheng Mu took a general look at this house from the outside. Compared with the large flat floor on the roof of the office building, it was not much better. The two had their own merits.
But after looking at this house and then looking at the palace not far away, the difference was immediately apparent again. They were not on the same level at all.
Even though Cheng Mu had never really come into contact with the palace complex, he could feel its majestic momentum just by looking at its figure from a distance.
This is like a beautiful woman wearing a veil. Although she has not taken off the veil, you can still feel her peerless appearance.
………
After taking a sip of the iced drink and throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind, Cheng Mu opened the antique-style door in front of him.
Zhiya——
It must be because no one has lived there for a long time. After opening the door, a sound of wood rubbing against each other reached his ears, and then a piece of dust drifted down from his head.
Cheng Mu waved his hand to fan the dust in the air, and then walked towards the house.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a small arch-shaped house with a huge screen in it.
The paintings on the screen are exquisite. Although Cheng Mu is not good at calligraphy and painting, it looks like it was made by a famous artist.
However, he did not have time to appreciate this masterpiece now. Instead, he raised the gun in his hand vigilantly and looked around in case there was any special situation.
After cautiously walking around the screen, the scenery in front of him suddenly opened up. A man-made lake appeared in front of him. The lake area was not large, but it was definitely not small. Above the lake, there are small bridges extending in all directions. There should have been thousands of koi carp in the lake, but now they are all gone, and the lake has become a pool of stagnant water.
After passing the screen, you can reach various places in the house through these small bridges.
Damn it, these dignitaries really know how to enjoy themselves, making every house so fancy.
More than just corruption? ! It's simply corruption!
………
It was almost seven o'clock when Cheng Mu searched the entire mansion.
In this large house, he found two purple supply boxes, one of which was high-end.
Then there were some yellow and white supply boxes, and several packs of cigarettes came out of them, which was quite pleasing to him.
It's been a busy day today, and it's time to take a rest in the evening. Apart from anything else, my calves are still a little sore from walking. It's a pity that no one will come to massage me tonight.
He had already found a place for himself to sleep. When he was searching for rooms just now, he found the largest room, which should be where Uncle Cheng lived.
This room alone covers an area of 100 square meters. There is a large carved mahogany bed. Although there is no mattress or anything else, Cheng Mu has all these things and can sleep on it.
However, there is a layer of dust in the room and needs to be cleaned up briefly. The houses in this area are basically covered with a layer of dust, and other places are not much better.
Moreover, this house is relatively safe. You have to go around several times to find the room where Cheng Mu plans to stay.
If a reckless man really walks all the way here and then happens to enter this house, even if this happens with a very small probability, Cheng Mu will have enough time to react.
"Have you eaten?" When Cheng Mu was about to clean up the room, the messages they sent appeared in the sea of consciousness.
In the whole afternoon today, basically less than half an hour, the two of them would send a message.
"I'm ready to pack up my room and move in. What about you?"
"We have returned to the room. When can we find you."
"I still don't know when this road will come to an end. There is a huge palace in front of me. It feels like it is right in front of me, but I can't get there no matter how hard I walk."
"Then if you can't find it, we can't find you?"
"No, I have a hunch that maybe we can see it tomorrow."
Now that we have seen the uncle's mansion, further down should be the marquis' mansion, the prince's mansion, and even the palace.
"Well, okay then, are you lacking anything over there? Do you have enough food and supplies?"
"Don't worry, there are all the storage boxes. Don't worry. I won't tell you anymore. I'll clean up the house first."
"Okay, okay..."
………
Cheng Mu spent a few minutes simply wiping the dust off the bed, then placed a mattress on it, treating it as his simple bedroom.
As for the rest of the house, he didn't touch it anymore. He was leaving tomorrow anyway, so it would be in vain to clean it up.
He took out water to rinse his sticky body, and then took all the clothes he had changed to a place to burn.
