However, the smoked chicken that they were worried about had yet to be delivered. Those people who were secretly digging a hole outside the courtyard finally dug to the edge of the steel plate. There was a special sensor installed on the steel plate, so He Xing would know if there was any movement. “They’ve already reached the steel plate. They should know that they can’t dig any further.”
Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. “When they find out that they can’t dig anymore after digging for so long, will they be furious, or will they start digging again in another place?”
Du Yue curled her lips. “Perhaps the person we’ve been waiting for will appear soon.”
The chicken coop was built, and the medicine was successfully developed. They began to lead their boring lives again. If someone really came to cause trouble at this time, it would add some fun to their peaceful lives.
Xia Ju did not even need to say anything. Du Yue had already figured out her thoughts. It was not for any other reason, but Du Yue also thought so in her heart. The three of them chatted as they picked up their binoculars and looked outside. The people who had been digging a hole in the gra.s.s had all gathered together and formed a circle.
Looking at their location, they should be at the entrance of the cave. They were huddled together, discussing how to deal with the steel plate. Although the three could not see most of their expressions, they could tell from the faces of the people facing them that these people were furious and their expressions were not very good.
After a few minutes, the people in the circle automatically dispersed. In the next second, a person dressed in black walked out from the crowd. Not only was this person dressed in black, but he was also wearing a black hat and mask. He covered his face and body, almost blending into the thick night.
Although they could not see the man’s face, they could tell from his body shape that he was a thin man. The man walked to the entrance of the cave and jumped down without hesitation. The others were all guarding the cave, quietly waiting for him to come out. After a few minutes, the man climbed out of the hole. His black clothes and pants were stained with some mud, and his presence was more noticeable than before.
As the man was far away and he was wearing a mask, Du Yue and the others naturally could not see what he said. Du Yue put down the binoculars in her hand with slight disappointment. “How nice would it be if 1 could have binoculars that could hear sounds!”
Xia Ju nodded repeatedly. “That’s right. Why hasn’t anyone developed binoculars that can hear and smell?”
Du Yue looked at her speechlessly. “Xia Ju, even if the binoculars can really pick up the smell, other than our courtyard, all the campsites within a few miles are basically filled with the smell of gra.s.s and coa.r.s.e grain. Stop dreaming.”
Xia Ju scratched her head. “That seems to be the case.”
Before Du Yue could speak, He Xing said, “They’re coming toward us.”
Du Yue and Xia Ju stopped bickering. They immediately picked up their binoculars and looked outside. Through the binoculars, they could see that the people who were originally standing at the entrance of the cave were now walking toward the small courtyard with resentment on their faces. However, the man in black who had spoken earlier had disappeared. “Where’s the man who talked to them?” Du Yue asked He Xing.
“He left just now.” He Xing turned around and prepared to leave. “It’s obvious that that person is hiding behind these people and giving them ideas. He definitely won’t do anything to stand up for them. Let’s go out and take a look first. Let’s see what these people are planning to do.”
The three of them walked out together. As soon as they arrived at the courtyard, they saw that those people had already surrounded the entrance of the courtyard. Those people were furious. “The people inside, come out now. You must give us an explanation today!”
“Yes! I know you’re at home. Don’t hide in there like cowards. Come out and solve this matter quickly!”
Hearing these people’s words, Du Yue only felt confused. Were these people crazy? Secretly digging a hole in their territory and asking them to give an explanation?
Before Du Yue could say anything, the people outside started to refuse to let it go. “You saw us digging the hole a long time ago, but you didn’t tell us that you laid steel plates underground. You let us waste our efforts and suffer. How can you be so vicious?!”
“I’ve lived for decades, but I’ve never seen anyone as bad as you! You don’t even have to worry about food and clothing, but you’re not even willing to share a little bit of resources with us. You just watch us worry about our livelihood every day.. People like you will go to h.e.l.l if you die, do you know that?!”
