As for how those people would react when they smelled the chicken soup, it was not within Du Yue’s consideration. While Du Yue stood beside the clay pot and waited for the chicken soup to be cooked, her appetite grew. Old hen that could no longer lay eggs tasted unexpectedly delicious when stewed. When she thought of those delicious eggs, Du Yue could understand. The eggs were so delicious, so how bad could the meat quality of the chicken be?
Du Yue stared at the clay pot in front of her. If she were a puppy, she would definitely be drooling at this time. “When will it be ready?”
He Xing walked over to open the lid and scooped out some soup and a piece of meat with a spoon. “I’ll try to see if it’s cooked.”
Du Yue stared at the chicken in his spoon without blinking. She almost said that she wanted to try it too.
He Xing took a bite of the chicken and chewed it a few times. Then, he shook his head slightly at Du Yue. “It’s still not cooked enough, but if you’re in a hurry, you can eat it now. I’ll get you a bowl to try.”
Du Yue shook her head. “Let’s not. I’ll wait a little longer.”
She had already waited for so long, so it was not a big deal to wait for a while more. It was not easy to cook, so she definitely had to eat it when it tasted the best. He Xing closed the lid of the clay pot and was about to talk to Du Yue when they heard knocking on the iron gate outside.
He Xing and Du Yue looked at the door and could not help but frown. Just from the sound of the gate being knocked, the two of them could conclude that it was definitely an uninvited guest. They did not know many people in the first base, and Zuo Mingdong was the only one who often visited. If Zuo Mingdong was coming or he had sent his men over, he would inform He Xing in advance. They would not knock on the gate so violently either. Soon, the two of them arrived at the entrance.
Du Yue directly opened the gate. The person who was knocking on the gate outside did not expect the gate to suddenly open. They lost their balance and staggered a few steps forward. Du Yue did not move aside. Instead, she pushed the figure back. The unsteady figure was pushed out of the door and staggered a few steps back before they could barely stand. Before Du Yue could see what the person looked like, she heard a little boy screaming, “Grandma, are you okay?”
Du Yue followed the voice and saw that the person she had pushed out was the aunt who had been hiding in the dark and spying on them.
But what was different this time was that she had also brought along a little boy who looked to be seven or eight years old. The little boy was very thin, and the bones in his arms could be seen clearly. Du Yue was sizing up the two of them when the little boy suddenly turned his head fiercely and spat at Du Yue. “You bad woman, you almost pushed my grandmother down!”
Du Yue dodged him, and her eyes darkened. “Get this straight. Your grandmother broke into my house. 1 just pushed her out of my yard.”
To be honest, Du Yue did not push her too hard just now. If she had really pushed her hard, the aunt would have fallen to the ground.
The little boy did not give up. He pointed at Du Yue and said, “You’re talking nonsense. My grandmother was just standing at your door, and you reached out to push her. 1 saw it with my own eyes!”
Seeing him like this, Du Yue was too lazy to explain anything else. She just stared at him without blinking. It had nothing to do with her whether the little boy was unwilling to give up. She had already said what she needed to say. Unexpectedly, the little boy took a few more steps forward. “You pushed my grandmother. There’s not a single part of her body that doesn’t hurt. I can smell chicken stew in your house. You have to compensate us with the chicken!” the little boy spoke so confidently that Du Yue was stunned.
This child was still young. Who did he learn this ability to spout nonsense from? The aunt who had been silent all this while also spoke up. She changed her aggressive posture from before and showed a weak smile to Du Yue. “Little girl, don’t be angry. My grandson is still young and immature. He just wants to protect me. Don’t lower yourself to his level. It’s me who’s useless. This child hasn’t eaten meat since the apocalypse. Look at how skinny he is. He’s all skin and bones. As his elder, I feel sorry for him, but I’m helpless.
“It’s been too long since he has tasted meat, so he wants to eat meat very badly.” When the aunt said this, two drops of tears fell from her eyes. She reached out to wipe them away..
