77 This Man Really Knows How to Live His Life
Du Yue sat in the car and watched as He Xing washed the dishes. She could not help but feel emotional. He was clearly a capable person who did not lack any supplies, but he was still so thrifty. This man really knew how to live.
The next second, Du Yue retracted her gaze. before He Xing got into the truck, she took out a steel wire from her interspace and stuffed it into her backpack. Just as she finished packing her backpack, Du Yue heard the door open. She followed the sound and looked over.
He Xing was wearing a mask and a hat, only revealing one eye. Du Yue could not see the expression on his face, but she could tell that he was not in a good mood from the slight frown on his face. “Why are you unhappy?” He had a satisfied smile on his face when they had just finished eating. It had only been less than five minutes since he got out of the truck. How did he suddenly become like this?
He Xing sighed helplessly and put the small iron pot aside. He took out the two self-heating hotpot boxes and said, “They froze over and cracked! I’m too careless!”
Du Yue looked at the cracks in the plastic boxes and then at He Xing’s regretful expression. She could not help but laugh out loud. Seeing her laugh, He Xing looked at her with a sad face. “Why are you laughing?” Du Yue quickly stopped smiling and straightened her expression. “I’m sorry. I really couldn’t hold back.”
She suppressed her laughter and consoled him, “It’s freezing outside, and the boxes are made of plastic, so it’s normal for them to crack. Don’t be sad. They’re not important anyway.”
“Sigh, I’m not sad. I was very careful, but they still cracked! It’s just a pity.” He Xing placed the cracked boxes on the passenger’s seat. “Keep them for now. We can use them to start a fire later. Although the plastic will have an unpleasant smell when it’s burned, it can help with combustion and can burn for a longer time.”
Du Yue’s expression changed slightly when she heard He Xing’s words. He would save as much as he could and would never waste any resources, which was surprisingly consistent with her.
Of course, He Xing did not know what she was thinking. After fastening his seat belt, he turned to Du Yue and said, “Let’s continue moving forward, okay? We’ll drive for another hour. Whether or not we can find any prey, we’ll turn back after that. I think we’ll be able to return to the base at night, and we won’t have to spend a night in the wild.”
“Alright!” Although Du Yue had prepared sufficient supplies, she still did not want to spend the night in the wilderness. It was warm and cozy at home, so it would definitely be much more comfortable to sleep in her home than in the wild. The snow-shoveling truck continued to move forward. Du Yue took the opportunity to roll down the window halfway. She did not know when she would be able to come out again. She had to take this opportunity to practice her shooting skills. In the beginning, Du Yue’s shots were all aimed at trees.
Although the trees were dead and would not move, their truck was still moving forward. It was not easy to hit a target while the vehicle was moving. Du Yue did not shoot rashly. Instead, she waited patiently to aim before pulling the trigger.
The bullets were too expensive. Even if she had a few thousand bullets, she had to use them sparingly. Perhaps He Xing’s words earlier were not meant to comfort her. Du Yue really did have some talent in gunmanship. The car window was down, and the wind mixed with the snow rushed into the car. Du Yue braved the wind, snow, and cold for more than an hour.
However, her hard work paid off. After more than an hour of serious training, she could already hit the target she had chosen quickly and accurately while the car was driving. At least the bullets exchanged for so much gold were not wasted.
Du Yue was a little happy. He Xing’s lips curled up slowly under the mask when he saw her happy face in the rearview mirror. He did not say anything to disturb her. He Xing silently turned around and prepared to return to the base. As the snow-shoveling truck changed directions, Du Yue’s field of vision also changed.
She could clearly see that there were more than a dozen black shadows in the distance. They were gathered together and running at high speed. Du Yue could see them clearly. After making sure that they were not running in the direction of their snow-shoveling truck, she heaved a sigh of relief. She still remembered the fight with the wild boar clearly. Although she was unscathed, it was inevitable that she had a lingering fear.
“He Xing, do you think those are wild boars?”
He Xing looked in the direction Du Yue pointed out. When he saw the fast-moving black dots, his expression turned serious and nervous. He said in a deep voice, “Don’t shoot. Don’t let them notice us.”
In fact, even if He Xing had not told her that, Du Yue had no intention of firing again. She took out a pair of binoculars from her bag and looked in front of her. Those that were running wildly in the forest were indeed a herd of wild boars.
