Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not understand what these people were thinking. They just grabbed random people on the road and wanted them to back them up. Were they desperate, or was there some other reason? Du Yue was wondering what had happened between them. The woman cried and told the other party how difficult it had been for her, but the man did not show any expression after hearing it.
“Hello, I’m Zou Bo, the chief of Happiness Base. The people in our base have just moved here. There are many things that we don’t know about this place, so we want to ask you some questions. Are you from the city? How long have you been stationed in the grasslands? The ground we saw along the way was bare. There’s only grass in front of your door. Did you plant all this grass?”
Zou Bo asked a lot of questions, but none of them were about that woman. It was obvious that he had no intention of meddling in this matter. Du Yue listened to his questions one after another. He probably planned to set up camp nearby. There was indeed some trouble. After all, where there were many people, there would be more trouble. However, the grassland was not her private property. She could not care less whether Zou Bo and his men set up camp here or not. “We’ve only just arrived, and we planted the grass. As for the rest, we don’t know.”
Du Yue’s answer was simple, but it had already solved Zou Bo’s doubts. “Thank you. We also plan to set up camp nearby. We won’t disturb you, right?”
Du Yue looked over meaningfully. “If 1 say you’ll be disturbing us, can you go somewhere else?”
Zou Bo did not expect Du Yue to be so rude. He stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Du Yue did not want to make things difficult for anyone. She spoke again, “As long as you don’t camp on the grass we grow, it’s fine. As for the other places, they’re not ours to begin with, so you can choose any place you want.” “Alright!” Zou Bo nodded. “I’ll choose a place where 1 won’t disturb you. We’ll be neighbors from now on. I hope to receive your guidance and help!”
Just from Zou Bo’s tone, Du Yue knew that he must have his eyes on the grass they planted and would definitely ask them to exchange their seeds. However, Du Yue did not want to reveal her intentions. She would talk about the future later. For now, she just pretended that she did not know what he was implying.
Zou Bo did not care that Du Yue did not reply. He said goodbye to Du Yue and left with his men.
It was only when Zou Bo’s figure disappeared from her sight that Du Yue looked at the woman and smiled silently at her. The woman had even added fuel to the fire and complained to him, but he ignored her completely. Du Yue did not know if she was embarrassed. The woman glared at Du Yue, stomped her feet, and chased after Zou Bo. Seeing that she had left, the rest of the people followed suit. He Xing was quite happy when he saw that the people outside the courtyard were following Zou Bo. “It seems that the arrival of the new neighbors isn’t a bad thing. At least these people are no longer pestering us.”
“Yes, it’s solved our problem.” These people had spent so much time with Du Yue and the others. They knew that the three of them would not give them any resources. Naturally, they were not interested in waiting any more time. Zou Bo and his group had appeared at this time and were camping nearby. They had to take this opportunity to follow them! However, it was uncertain if Zou Bo would take them in.
Du Yue did not think too much about it. No matter how Zou Bo got along with the people outside the courtyard, it had nothing to do with the three of them. The three of them only needed to live their own lives. After returning to the RV, He Xing told Shen Teng through the walkie-talkie that Zou Bo and his team were going to be stationed nearby. Shen Teng was not surprised because Zou Bo had also visited him and asked him to take care of him in the future.
“The place where they’re stationed is very close to me. It’s not even a hundred meters away.” Shen Teng chuckled.
Du Yue could not help but frown when she heard this. Zou Bo had chosen to station himself near Shen Teng in such a large grassland. What was the meaning of this?
Du Yue could not think of a reason for it, so she could only instruct Shen Teng to pay more attention to the situation. He should go out as little as possible and have less contact with Zou Bo and the others. As long as Shen Teng stayed in his own courtyard with the electric fence protecting him, no matter what Zou Bo and the others were thinking, they could not threaten Shen Teng for the time being.
Shen Teng did not seem to care too much. “I don’t have anything valuable here. Besides, I’m not afraid of them even if they really have ill intentions. At most, 1’11 fight them to the death.”
Du Yue sighed helplessly. How did it come to the point where he had to fight them to the death? “It’s not that bad!”
Du Yue advised him, “Even if they really have bad intentions, we can still deal with them when they come. We won’t have to fight them to the death..”
