Hearing Xia Ju’s usual voice, Du Yue, who was on tenterhooks, finally relaxed a little. The window of the RV was open. Du Yue looked in through the window and saw Xia Ju sitting inside. A man was sitting opposite Xia Ju. The man’s back was facing Du Yue. His clothes were so dirty that the color could not be seen, and his hair was a mess. When Du Yue was about to walk in, Xia Ju happened to look over. “You’re back so soon! We have a guest here.”

Du Yue did not say anything. Instead, she walked over to the man.

She saw the man’s face. The man’s face was old, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were cracked. However, this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Du Yue had seen this face before. She was slightly stunned, then she tried to call out a name, “Shen Teng?”

Shen Teng was stunned at first, then his face was filled with shock. He did not dare to believe it until Du Yue called his name. He was sure that the woman in front of him was indeed the restaurant owner he met in the base.

Xia Ju’s eyes darted between the two of them. “You know each other?” Shen Teng had yet to recover from his shock. He nodded blankly. “Yes! When 1 was in the third base, 1 often ate in Boss Du’s restaurant. Later, when I wanted to leave the base, she and Boss He even prepared a lot of dry food for me.”

Speaking of this, the man let out a long sigh. “At that time, 1 was thinking that the first thing I would do when 1 returned to the base was to have a big meal at their restaurant. However, I didn’t expect to encounter a sandstorm on the way. Later, by accident, 1 went farther and farther away. I thought that I would never have the chance to return to the third base and taste Boss Du’s cooking again. I didn’t expect to meet you here!”

Hearing Shen Teng’s sigh, Du Yue’s mood was a little complicated.

When she opened the restaurant in the third base, Shen Teng was the customer that left the deepest impression on her. After all, under such conditions, there were not many people who could still eat and drinkwell every day. In addition, Shen Teng was generous, and he was not annoying. Although they were not very familiar with each other, Du Yue had a good impression of him. Du Yue was also very emotional when they met at such a faraway place.

Du Yue was still thinking when Shen Teng smiled and said, “I didn’t expect Boss Du to recognize me at a glance even after I’ve become a down-and-out. But you haven’t changed much! Where’s Boss He? Has he not changed much either?” Du Yue looked out of the window and saw He Xing standing at the door, talking to Lu Donglai and the others.

Du Yue nodded at him. “He’s discussing something with someone.” Shen Teng and Xia Ju followed Du Yue’s line of sight and looked out. After seeing the situation outside, Xia Ju excitedly poked her head out of the window. “You guys exchanged for a cow and a sheep?”

“Yes.” Du Yue nodded. “Maybe we can get a few horses later.”

“Really?!”

Xia Ju lifted her feet and walked out. After taking two steps, she turned back and instructed Du Yue, “Since you two are old acquaintances, you entertain him first. I’ll go to He Xing’s side to take a look at the cow and the sheep.”

“Go…” Before Du Yue could finish speaking, Xia Ju had already run far away. Du Yue shook her head helplessly and walked toward the booth, sitting opposite Shen Teng. The closer she got, the clearer she could see. Not only did Shen Teng’s appearance look much older than before, but even his spirit was not as strong as before.

Du Yue could tell from his eyes that he must have suffered a lot along the way. Du Yue was sizing him up when Shen Teng smiled at her. “Your small courtyard is decorated very nicely. Are you not planning to leave in the future?”

Du Yue nodded. “That’s the plan for the time being. There are not many people here, and it’s quite comfortable to live here.”

Shen Teng nodded with a smile. “But now that the fog has dissipated, 1 reckon that all the bases will start to arrange for people to move back to the city and get things back on track. If you move with the base at this time, you should be able to get a good place to live and all the necessary living supplies. Your life will be more comfortable in the future. Don’t you want that?”

Shen Teng’s guess was not groundless. Du Yue and the other two had already known about it, but they were not moved. “We all have our own interests. We don’t like to live with crowds. This is good.”

Shen Teng laughed even more heartily. “We have the same thoughts..”
