“We don’t know if it’s male or female. Moreover, regardless of whether it’s a male or female, it’s a lonely sheep that can’t give birth to babies!” Du Yue teased her.
Xia Ju thought about it. “It’s fine! Look at the sheep and horses raised by Lu Donglai and the others. Each one is thinner than the other. When this iamb eats the grass 1 planted and grows fat and strong, we’ll bring it to Lu Donglai and the others and ask them to exchange more sheep for my seeds! They’ll definitely be willing!” At this point, Xia Ju nodded in satisfaction. “Yes, let’s do that!”
Du Yue thought about it seriously and felt that Xia Ju’s method was feasible. “Then where should we scatter the seeds?”
Xia Ju pointed casually. “Isn’t the empty space next to the chicken coop empty? Let’s scatter them there! We can use the materials in the space to make a sheep pen so that it’ll have a place to stay during the windy and rainy days.”
Xia Ju was a person who would do whatever she said. After saying this, she walked toward the open space without stopping. She measured the size with her feet to determine the size of the sheep pen. Du Yue and He Xing looked at each other. The next second, they shook their heads helplessly. Then, they took out the materials from the space and walked toward Xia Ju. With He Xing’s help, the three of them built the sheep pen in less than three hours. They laid hay in the shed, surrounded it with a fence, and led the sheep in. Xia Ju originally planned to sow the seeds in the sheep pen so that the sheep could eat the grass without leaving the sheep pen, but Du Yue rejected the idea.
If the seeds were really sown in the sheep pen, they would probably be eaten by the sheep before the grass could grow. It was better to sow the seeds outside the sheep pen. Their courtyard was not very big to begin with. After setting up all kinds of fixtures, there wasn’t much space left. The three of them simply expanded the size of their courtyard. They picked up the stones on the ground and casually flipped the soil with a hoe. Then, they could directly scatter the seeds. After sprinkling the seeds, they watered the soil. The three of them did not need to care about the rest. Du Yue found the corn stalks that were left behind in the space. After crushing them into dregs, they could be fed to the sheep.
The sheep seemed to like the corn stalks very much. It ate very happily, as if it was enjoying some unique delicacy. It ate very quickly too. Xia Ju stood at the side and watched it eat. She could not help but sigh. “Looks like you’ve also lived a hard life. You’re eating these ordinary corn stalks so happily. Don’t worry. When the grass grows, you can eat as much as you want. I’ll give it all to you!”
Du Yue was in the car. She looked out the window at Xia Ju who was whispering to the lamb which was eating with its head lowered. She turned to ask He Xing, “Is she too lonely?”
She was talking to animals now. Although the three of them lived together, Xia Ju and the two of them would stay in their own RV except during mealtimes. They would only see each then. The rest of the time, Xia Ju was all alone. Looking at her and He Xing playing around, did she really not feel lonely? Du Yue could not help but feel sorry for her, but He Xing said mercilessly, “If she wants to talk to someone because she’s lonely, do you think you can escape? The reason why she’s talking so much to the sheep is to inform the sheep that the grass she plants is the best.”
Du Yue slowly shook her head. “What a terrifying desire to win!”
If it was as Xia Ju had said. On the third day after the seeds were sown, the originally grayish-brown ground was dotted with green. Two days later, when Xia Ju woke up early to feed the sheep, she saw that the grass had already grown to the height of a person’s ankle. This height was just enough to feed the sheep. Xia Ju led the sheep to the grass. Du Yue was also curious if this sheep would like the grass, so she followed along.
As she got closer, she could smell the fragrance of tender grass. This long-lost smell made Du Yue take a deep breath. The sheep that Xia Ju was holding had already lowered its head impatiently and began to feast. Xia Ju raised an eyebrow at Du Yue. “See, 1 told you that the grass 1 grow is definitely the most delicious.”
Du Yue took two reclining chairs from her space and placed them side by side. She said to Xia Ju, “Come and lie down for a while!”
Xia Ju walked over and lay down beside Du Yue. The two of them looked up and saw the gray sky. Du Yue stared at it for a long time before turning to ask Xia Ju, “Is the sky in the interstellar beautiful?”
Xia Ju turned her head and said as she recalled, “I’m not too sure. The place 1 was at was at war every day. When I looked up, I could only see the fire of artillery shells.”
Du Yue was speechless. “Alright then..”
