The arrival of Zou Bo and the others meant that their future days would not be as easy as before. At this moment, He Xing spoke up, “What about you guys? What’s your plan? Will you go to the base or stay here?”
Zuo Mingdong sighed softly. “I don’t know either. We’ll have to discuss it before deciding.”
Such a big matter was indeed not something Zuo Mingdong could decide on his own. Du Yue and the other two understood him. They had not seen each other for a long time, so they did not feel tired at all when chatting. They were all curious about the experiences of both sides. Most of the time, Du Yue and the other two were talking while Zuo Mingdong was listening. After all, Du Yue and the other two were the first to set up camp on this grassland. They definitely knew more about this place than the others. Telling Zuo Mingdong all this information would also let him know what to expect.
After chatting for more than an hour, Zuo Mingdong stood up and said goodbye. “It’s late. You guys should go to bed early. I’ll go back first. We’re not familiar with this place. I’m afraid that something might happen. It’s better for me to go back and guard everyone.”
He Xing stood up to stop him. “Wait a minute, don’t be in a hurry to leave!”
Zuo Mingdong looked over with some doubt. “Is there anything else?”
He Xing smiled and nodded. “I’ve cooked a few dishes. Stay and eat before you leave!”
When they were chatting just now, he had indeed left halfway. At that time, Zuo Mingdong was listening to Du Yue’s words and did not pay attention to He Xing. Now, he knew that Xing had gone to cook. “No, I already ate something on the way here.”
As soon as Zuo Mingdong finished speaking, He Xing had already turned around and walked out of the RV. After taking two steps, he did not forget to turn back and threaten, “If you don’t stay and eat, you’ll be disregarding our friendship.”
Zuo Mingdong smiled helplessly and finally sat down.
Soon, He Xing came in with two large stainless steel basins. One of them was filled with coarse-grain dumplings made of cornflour and mushrooms, and the other was filled with scrambled eggs. Zuo Mingdong had forgotten the last time he ate dumplings. Before he could speak, his stomach growled. No one spoke in the RV, so the rumbling of his stomach was particularly obvious. Zuo Mingdong’s face turned red, and he swallowed the words of rejection that were about to come out of his mouth. At this point, it would be unnecessary for him to insist that he was not hungry.
Du Yue also brought over bowls and chopsticks for everyone. The dumplings were made in advance, and He Xing also fried a lot of eggs. However, the three of them only ate two dumplings each, and they only picked up a little bit of the scrambled eggs. They made a lot of dumplings because they were afraid that Zuo Mingdong would be too embarrassed to eat them otherwise. However, the three of them had eaten a lot for dinner, and the two dumplings they were eating now were forced down their throats. If they were not worried that Zuo Mingdong would be too embarrassed to eat the food himself, the three of them would not even eat two dumplings.
Du Yue and the other two did not say much from the beginning to the end, but their every move made Zuo Mingdong feel that they really treated him as a friend. Zuo Mingdong felt warm in his heart, so he stopped being shy and started to eat the dumplings in big mouthfuls. Ten minutes later, the dumplings and eggs were all finished. Zuo Mingdong burped. He looked at Du Yue and the other two and scratched his head in embarrassment. “It’s delicious. Thank you. Then I’ll leave first. Whether we plan to stay or leave, 1’11 tell you when we’ve decided.”
Du Yue and the other two sent Zuo Mingdong to the gate and watched him leave before closing the gate and returning to the RV. The three of them sat on the sofa, feeling extremely emotional. After a long while, Xia Ju sighed and said regretfully, “Ah! I was too busy chatting just now and didn’t even ask Captain Zuo about the chickens!”
Du Yue looked at her and could not help but laugh. Xia Ju was indeed a foodie. She would never forget about food.
“It’s okay. You can ask next time.”
“Didn’t Captain Zuo say that he’ll come and let us know no matter if they decide to stay or leave?” Du Yue comforted her. “You can ask him when he comes over.”
Xia Ju nodded. “Next time, if I can’t remember, remind me. 1 can’t miss out on delicious chicken again!”
After Du Yue nodded in agreement, Xia Ju got up and planned to leave. “Then I’ll go back to sleep. You guys should sleep early too!”
After the Eternal Night descended, many people’s biological clocks were disrupted, and they began to live a life that did not differentiate between day and night. Most of Zou Bo’s people were like this. They stopped checking the time and did not care if it was day or night. They slept when they were sleepy and ate when they woke up. Most of them began to live a life where day and night were reversed..
