Chapter 387: Looking for a Place to Stay

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The days were hard. Regardless of whether they were men or women, old or young, as long as they could move, they would come out to find something to do and earn some food. No matter how little they earned, it was better than staying at home and not earning anything. Du Yue looked at the group of people working hard. Her expression was normal. No matter if there was a wave in her heart, she would not show it on her face. Du Yue was not worried about He Xing, but when she thought of Xia Ju, she was still a little worried. She turned around to look for her, but when she turned around, Du Yue did not see Xia Ju.

...

Where did she go? Just as she was worried that Xia Ju had gone to cause trouble due to her kindness, she heard Xia Ju’s voice. “I’m exhausted. I’ll sit down for a while.” Du Yue looked down and saw Xia Ju sitting on the ground with her hands around her knees and humming a tunc. Seeing her like this, Du Yue could not help but laugh.

It seemed that she was thinking too much!

Two hours later, the three mu of land had been plowed. He Xing called the old man who had led the way before and asked him to check it. After confirming that there were no problems, He Xing gave the remaining three catties of food to those people. “That’s all for today’s work. Once you complete three days of work, you can go and upgrade your identity cards.”

Hearing this, Du Yue could not help but raise her eyebrows. “Upgrade the identity cards? Don’t we get new identity cards?”

The old man laughed dryly, as if he was laughing at Du Yue’s naivety. “Resources are scarce now. It’s too wasteful for everyone to get a new card. How is that possible?”

Du Yue nodded. “Alright, I understand. The leader of the fourth base was really a genius!”

…..

It was still early, and they could not do the work the next day in advance. They could only drive away. They drove on the road of the fourth base. Looking at the blurry outline of the lights, the general appearance of the fourth base was presented before their eyes. The first base had beautiful mountains and clear waters, the second base had advanced technology, and the third base was a thousand-year-old city. As for the fourth base… Du Yue thought for a long time and could only think of one adjective, which was simple.

The houses on the side of the street were all short buildings with six stories or less. The bricks used to build the building were all exposed. At a glance, the bricks were of many colors. It was obvious that they were scrap bricks dug out from the ruins.

There were very few pedestrians on the road. Occasionally, they would meet one or two people who were hurrying along with their heads lowered. No one knew what they were going to do. Xia Ju stared outside for a while before looking away. “Where are we going next?”

Du Yue leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes to rest. “Let’s go find a place to stay.”

Hearing this, Xia Ju’s interest was instantly piqued. “Then where are we going to stay?”

“We’re not familiar with this place, so we can only go with the flow.”

They had just arrived here, so they did not know the structure and layout of the fourth base. They could only find a random place to stay. Unfortunately, they had been driving for nearly half an hour, but they still could not find a hotel with a sign. Could it be that there was no hotel here at all?

Just as Du Yue was feeling puzzled, someone suddenly stopped the car in front of her. That person suddenly jumped out from the side of the road. If He Xing had not been driving steadily, the person might have been knocked away. He Xing stepped on the brakes, lowered the window, and poked his head out. Before he could ask, the young man who stopped the car ran over while panting. “Excuse me, are you looking for a place to stay?”

Du Yue, who was a little impatient, became interested after hearing this. “Why do you think we’re looking for a place to stay?”

The young man seemed to be hesitant. After a while, he said carefully, “There aren’t many people in the base who can afford to drive, and even if they drive, they’ll go straight to their destination. However, your speed is very slow as if you’re looking for something…”

Hearing this, Du Yue looked at the young man with faint admiration. He was a smart child. Du Yue smiled and asked him, “Your family owns a hotel? Or are you working in a hotel?”

“No… I have a few empty rooms in my house that I can rent to you. You can come with me to take a look first before deciding whether to rent or not. My house is really clean!” Seeing the young man’s anxious look, Du Yue did not immediately agree. Instead, she turned to He Xing. “Do you want to take a look?”

He Xing nodded. “Let’s go and take a look.”

Xia Ju nodded. “That’s right. Let’s go take a look. It’s free anyway.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Ju suddenly looked at the young man warily. “There’s no charge for looking at the house, right?”

Being questioned by Xia Ju, the young man’s ears turned red. His eyes were also a little evasive, not daring to look her in the eye. However, he still nodded. “It’s free..”
