母蜂的复仇

After the meal, the two of them leaned against each other and chatted. Du Yue suddenly thought of Shen Teng. “Will you feel bored if we stay in the base all the time?”

He Xing turned to Du Yue in surprise. “Of course not. Why are you suddenly asking me this? I’m very satisfied with my current life. I’ll go out with you to run the store every day, then I’ll come back home to eat and sleep. I won’t feel bored even if I live like this for another 300 years.”

Du Yue kept looking into He Xing’s eyes when he was saying this. His eyes were shining, and she could see herself in them. She was the same. Her eyes were filled with him. Du Yue reached out to hug He Xing and gave him a kiss on the cheek. “I only like to be with you. I don’t like excitement and challenges, and I don’t like taking risks. I just want to accompany you and grow old peacefully. I hope that everything will be fine in the small courtyard so that we can stay for as long as we want. When we’re tired of living here, we can go to other places.”

He Xing reached out and caressed Du Yue’s face gently. “Sure, we’ll always be together.”

Du Yue did not speak again. She only felt an unusual sense of peace and stability in her heart. She liked her current life and hoped that she could continue living like this.

Three days passed by in a flash. Shen Teng was one of the few customers who usually came to their restaurant. Even so, with the arrival of new customers, the ingredients that were prepared every day were still sold out. That morning, Du Yue and He Xing were packing up at home and preparing to head to the store when they heard the bell at the door ring.

Du Yue frowned slightly. “I didn’t see anyone leave the courtyard this morning. Who would ring the bell… Did Big Brother Wan and the others return?”

He Xing had the same thought. “We’ll know when we go out and take a look.” Their mobile home was very close to the door, so Du Yue followed He Xing out.

Before they could reach the iron door, they heard movement behind them. They turned around and saw Yu Xinya, who had been waiting for Wan Dapeng and the others for a week. The three of them did not have time to greet each other and went straight to the door.

“Dapeng, is that you guy?” Yu Xinya stopped and called out anxiously.

“Chief, we’re back!” Hearing the familiar voice, Du Yue’s heart, which had been in her throat for the past week, finally settled down. As soon as the door opened, Du Yue saw Wan Dapeng standing at the door. After not seeing him for a week, Wan Dapeng was much thinner than when he left.

Wan Dapeng was not fat to begin with, and now he was even thinner than before. His whole body was so thin that his face was sallow, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, making him look very haggard. Du Yue could tell that Wan Dapeng had lost weight at a glance, and so could Yu Xinya. The joy of knowing that everyone had returned safely disappeared instantly. Yu Xinya was angry and annoyed. “You’ve become so thin! Didn’t you guys eat the food you brought?”

Before Wan Dapeng and the others left, Yu Xinya personally prepared dry food for them. She had also calculated the amount according to everyone’s usual appetite. If there were no accidents, the food would be enough for them to eat for half a month. It had only been a week. How could Wan Dapeng have lost so much weight?

Wan Dapeng scratched his head and smiled naively. “I did eat. I ate every day. It’s just that I’ve been running around and doing a lot of work every day. That’s why I’ve lost weight. It’s not a big deal.” Wan Dapeng’s answer stunned Yu Xinya, but she quickly understood what he meant.

Wan Dapeng and the others went out to scavenge for supplies. They went to look for supplies in the houses that had collapsed from the earthquake. The original city was now in ruins. If they wanted to find things to scavenge, they had to dig away the gravel and bricks covering the city and search deep in the ruins. This process was not only very difficult but also very dangerous.
