After saying that, Du Yue turned around and went into the courtyard. He Xing and Xia Ju followed closely behind. Neither of them had any intention of responding to the aunt. Seeing that the three of them were leaving, the aunt could not stand still. She took a few quick steps and reached out to tug at the corner of Xia Ju’s shirt. “Hey, why are you young people so rude? Didn’t your parents teach you to listen carefully when your elders speak?”
Just as she was about to touch the corner of Xia Ju’s clothes, Xia Ju quickly dodged to the side and looked at her with displeasure. “Didn’t your parents teach you not to touch strangers?”
Xia Ju was someone who had lived for more than 80 years. Although she usually looked harmless, when she was really angry, she was still very imposing. After being reprimanded by Xia Ju, the aunt was completely dumbfounded. She took a long time to react before she widened her eyes and said, “Little girl, do you know what it means to respect the elderly? Didn’t you rely on your looks to curry favor with Captain Zuo? Otherwise, the three of you would have starved to death long ago…”
“You’d better shut up!” Du Yue glanced at her coldly. With just the three of us, it’s not difficult to kill you without anyone finding out.”
Du Yue’s eyes were filled with viciousness when she said this. Even though the sky was already dark, the aunt could see Du Yue’s eyes clearly. She trembled and said, “Are you kidding me? You dare to kill people in the base?”
After forcing herself to say this, the aunt turned around and fled. Her figure quickly disappeared into the darkness. Soon, Du Yue and the other two heard a door being slammed shut. From the distance, Du Yue could tell that the aunt lived next to them. Du Yue was speechless. Why did they meet such an aunt everywhere they went? It was not that she liked to shout and kill, but if she did not scare them, they would probably cause trouble in the future.
The three of them returned to their house, but none of them were in a hurry to return to their rooms to sleep. They sat down at the table. Du Yue smiled and looked at Xia Ju. “We’ve just arrived here and you’ve already found a job. It seems that He Xing and I will have to rely on you in the future.”
Xia Ju would help the base research the soil and bugs. Once it was successful, the base would not let Xia Ju waste her effort. When the time came, they would definitely give her the corresponding reward. Xia Ju straightened her back and said confidently, “1 don’t dare to say anything else, but 1’11 definitely make sure you have enough eggs in the future!”
Xia Ju had already thought of the reward she wanted before she even started her research. It seemed that she was very confident about this matter.
Du Yue naturally believed in her ability. “Alright, then He Xing and I will cook you eggs three times a day!”
After chatting for a while, Du Yue followed Xia Ju to her room and took out all the daily necessities that Xia Ju often used from the space. After helping her tidy up the room, Du Yue returned to her own room. He Xing was sitting on the bed and scrolling through his phone, looking very serious. Du Yue closed the door and quickly walked to his side. “What are you looking at? You’re so focused.”
“I’m looking at the forum of the base to see if there’s anything 1 can do.”
Du Yue was a little puzzled. “Are you planning to stay here for a long time?”
He Xing shook his head. “No matter how long we plan to stay here, I don’t want to be idle while we’re here. I want to do what I can.”
“You want to help Captain Zuo?”
“Not entirely.”
He Xing put the phone aside and reached out to hold Du Yue’s hand. “1 mainly want to earn eggs for you.”
If Du Yue was not mistaken, He Xing was fighting for favor with Xia Ju, right? Du Yue held back her laughter. “Okay, then you have to work hard!”
No matter how many eggs He Xing and Xia Ju brought back, Du Yue was not afraid. Even if they could not finish them in a short time, she could store the eggs in the space and they could eat them slowly in the future.
Du Yue smiled and said to He Xing, “You don’t have to be obsessed with eggs just to compete with Xia Ju. You can also use your own efforts to exchange for other living supplies. It would be better if you could exchange for some poultry.”
Du Yue still had a lot of chicken, duck, and goose meat in her interspace. She was just a little curious if the taste of the poultry that had eaten the bugs was more delicious. At this point, Du Yue suddenly had a good idea. “The two of you are working so hard. 1 can’t hold you back. But I don’t like to show my face in public. Why don’t 1 try raising some chickens, ducks, and geese at home?
“Other than raising poultry, I can also grow some other things. There are still some spores in the space. Perhaps I can try planting mushrooms. The absence of sunlight will not affect the growth of mushrooms, so it’s the perfect time to plant them..”
