Du Yue looked at him with some admiration. Many times, it was indeed a very good life-saving method to reduce one’s presence. However, not to mention an underage child like him, there were many adults who had not mastered this skill.

The boy noticed Du Yue’s gaze and looked at her cautiously. The two of them looked at each other. Du Yue smiled at him. For some reason, when she saw this boy’s cautious appearance, she felt that she was looking at herself in her previous life.

Before the boy could react, Du Yue turned to look ahead. “This is it.” They did not chat much along the way. Everyone was focused on their journey, and their speed was much faster. In just a short while, they had already reached the front of the small courtyard.

There were still many people gathered outside the courtyard. Some were focused on plucking the grass, while others were sitting or standing on the lawn. However, their eyes never left Du Yue’s courtyard. When they saw that Du Yue and the others had returned, their gazes fell on the group.

Perhaps it was because they saw Wan Dapeng and the boy, their gazes were filled with curiosity and inquiry. Du Yue and the other two were already used to these gazes and had always chosen to ignore them. They brought the two of them straight to the entrance of the courtyard. He Xing first took out the remote control and lowered the current. Then, he took out the key to open the gate and walked into the courtyard with Du Yue and the others.

The boy walked at the back. When he saw that everyone else had entered the courtyard, he seemed to be a little hesitant. He did not know whether he should enter or not. Seeing that he did not follow, He Xing could not help but remind him, “It’s best if you come in with us. There are so many people eyeing us outside. It’s quite dangerous for you to stay here alone. Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you.”

The boy saw that He Xing had misunderstood his meaning, so he waved his hand repeatedly. “I didn’t mean it that way, really! I’m not afraid that you guys will do anything to me. 1 just…” The boy’s voice grew softer and softer. “1 just don’t think you’d want strangers to come into your house.”

“It’s fine.” He Xing chuckled. “With your small body, even if there were ten or 20 of you, you wouldn’t be a threat to us.”

Hearing He Xing’s words, the boy was not angry at all. Instead, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly followed him into the courtyard. After the boy came in, He Xing locked the courtyard gate.

Compared to the cautious boy, Wan Dapeng was much more relaxed. He stood in the middle of the courtyard and carefully looked around.

“Sister, why do I smell animals?” Without waiting for Du Yue to answer, Wan Dapeng shook his head repeatedly. “There must be something wrong with my nose. Otherwise, they must be raised in another courtyard. They definitely aren’t yours.”

Du Yue’s interest was piqued when she saw how confident he was. “How are you so sure that we’re not the ones raising them?”

“Because you think that all these farm animals are very dirty!” Wan Dapeng said matter-of-factly. Back when they were in the third base, Du Yue and He Xing did not raise pigs because they thought they were dirty.

After Du Yue heard his explanation, she smiled. “If you want to live well, you must adapt to the environment, not let the environment adapt to you. There’s nothing wrong with your nose. We are raising a lot of poultry and livestock.”

While Du Yue was talking to Wan Dapeng, Xia Ju ran to turn on the lights in the courtyard. As the lights lit up, Wan Dapeng and the boy could see every corner of the courtyard clearly.

There were cows, sheep, horses, and chickens. Wan Dapeng and the boy were stunned when they suddenly saw so many farm animals. After a long time, Wan Dapeng came back to his senses. “Oh my god, can you take care of so many animals?”

Du Yue smiled and nodded. “It’s alright. They don’t need much care. We just need to feed them food and water at a fixed time. In the past, when there weren’t many people on the grassland, we would go out for a ride on horses. However, after more people came, we don’t go out anymore.”

After saying that, Du Yue remembered that the boy was still waiting. She turned to the boy and said, “I’ll go get your coat.”

The boy nodded. “Alright!”

After Du Yue entered the RV, she closed the door. The curtains on the RV’s windows were always drawn. Even if the lights in the courtyard were turned on, no one could see the inside of the RV. Du Yue found a military coat from her space and deliberately lingered in the RV for a while before leaving.

She handed the coat to the boy. “Here you go.” The boy looked at the coat in his hands in disbelief..
