As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, Xia Ju put down the binoculars in her hand and patted Du Yue’s shoulder. “You’re right! I haven’t experienced being a cameraman yet! Just thinking about it is interesting!” At this point, Xia Ju shook her head. “But wouldn’t it be rude if I filmed them without telling them?”
Du Yue was speechless.
Xia Ju was quite respectful of portrait rights. She finally understood that Xia Ju was simply bored and uncomfortable, so she wanted to find something to kill time for herself. Although Du Yue also felt that life was boring, she was not interested in such things. If she had the time, she would rather play poker with He Xing. However, He Xing had been very busy recently and did not have much time to play with her.
He Xing had already started researching new cars. There was no sunlight now, and there was no gasoline on the grassland. An ordinary car would become a piece of scrap metal in no time. Therefore, He Xing wanted to develop a new energy car, but it was not as simple as a streetcar. Instead, he wanted to combine the technology of the interstellar with the technology of the blue planet. It would be best if he could create such a car when others wanted it.
Du Yue knew almost nothing about mechanical things, so she could not help He Xing. The only thing she could do was prepare food for He Xing while he was doing his research so that he would not do his research on an empty stomach. After He Xing started to get busy, Du Yue also started to find other things to kill time. The basement was still empty, so she planned to plant some vegetables that were cold-resistant and shade-loving.
One day, when Du Yue went to feed the chickens, she suddenly heard a few weak cries. Du Yue listened carefully. She was sure that the noise was definitely not made by the hens. Had the eggs hatched chicks?! Du Yue was pleasantly surprised. She quickly took out a flashlight and shone it into the chicken coop. Only then did she realize that there were indeed many young yellow chicks in the chicken coop.
The feathers on their bodies were soft. At this moment, they were huddled together and chirping. They looked like glutinous rice balls.
Du Yue wanted to reach out and touch them, but she was worried that she would hurt them, so she could only give up on that idea. Although the hens were noisy and smelly, their chicks were indeed very cute. Du Yue squatted in front of the chicken coop and stared at the chicks for a long time.
Du Yue only turned around when she heard Xia Ju’s footsteps behind her. Xia Ju walked to her side and asked, “Why is it taking you so long to feed the chickens? What are you doing here?”
Du Yue put her index finger to her mouth to signal her to lower her voice, then she said softly, “A lot of chicks have hatched. I’m looking at them.”
“Really?!”
Xia Ju was shocked and quickly went over to watch as well. The next second, she saw a group of bright yellow little things. She could not help but swallow her saliva and say, “Du Yue, the previous hens had to be kept to lay eggs. They couldn’t be killed. But when these chicks grow up, we can kill one to eat them, right?”
Even though a long time had passed, Xia Ju could not help but drool whenever she recalled the delicious taste of the chicken that Zuo Mingdong gave them.
Du Yue could not help but laugh out loud. She was still wondering why Xia Ju was so eager for the chicks to hatch. It turned out that it was not to see the chicks but because she had been craving chicken meat! However, after Xia Ju mentioned it, Du Yue also craved it. Thinking of the chickens in the first base, Du Yue suddenly thought of something. “By the way, the first base is moving. What’s going to happen to the poultry they’re raising? Will they take it with them?” As far as she knew, the first base had a lot of poultry. Where would they get so many vehicles to transport the poultry?
Xia Ju rubbed her chin and thought for a moment. “Maybe they’re bringing the meat after slaughtering all the chickens? Will they pass by here? At that time, could they exchange some meat with us?”
Xia Ju and Du Yue were thinking about the chickens from the first base, but they did not know that the people from the first base were on the road now. There were a lot of people in the first base, so they had a lot of luggage with them. The relocation of the entire base was not an easy task, and their progress was very slow. Moreover, with so many people moving together, eating, drinking, and defecating became a problem. A place with a lot of people had a lot of disputes. It would take a while to deal with the disputes between these people.
With some people, things could be settled with a few words. However, some disputes and quarrels needed to be suppressed by force..
