Du Yue felt that Xia Ju’s method was not bad, but it was not suitable for inquiring about Yu Xinya and the others. It was completely reasonable for Xia Ju to hire people to inquire about the situation of the neighbors. After all, the courtyards were so close to each other. If they did not know the background of these people, the three of them would not be able to sleep at ease.

However, if they paid someone to ask about Wan Dapeng and the others in the third base, it would only bring trouble and danger to Wan Dapeng and Yu Xinya. Du Yue pondered for a while, then decided to go to the third base and see if she could get some information.

As long as she covered herself with a hat and a mask and deliberately changed her tone when she spoke, she would not be discovered or recognized by others. This was a good way to avoid danger and trouble for them, Wan Dapeng, Yu Xinya, and the others.

In view of the current situation, whether it was a vehicle or a bike, she would surely attract attention. Therefore, the three of them chose to walk forward. In order not to attract extra attention, they had better walk obediently. Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and they had plenty of time. The three of them walked slowly and did not feel tired.

Zou Bo’s Happiness Base was the first base to come to the grassland, followed by Zuo Mingdong’s first base. However, Du Yue and the others had never visited these two bases.

This was the first time the three of them took the initiative to walk to a crowded place. When they used the binoculars in the small courtyard, because the distance was relatively far, they were not affected much despite seeing the crowds. Now that they were really close, they knew how hard life was for these people.

There was no shelter on the grassland. After the temperature dropped, the cold wind was even colder. A gust of wind could make people shiver. It was already very difficult to have a place to stay and shelter from the biting cold wind. Most of the people were huddled together, relying on their body temperature to keep each other warm.

Some people would hide behind the tents, but when the tent owners came out, they would most likely be chased away. Although this was a campsite, there were no fences or walls. Everyone could enter and leave at will. The people coming and going were very chaotic, giving no sense of security.

If the leaders were negligent in their management, petty theft, robbery, or even worse things could happen at any time. Du Yue could not be blamed for thinking this way. Along the way, there were too many sinister gazes locked on the three of them.

There was no proper source of light here. The only source of light was the bonfire every ten meters. However, the light of the bonfire was still very dim. Fortunately, the bonfire could not only illuminate but also warm people up. There were many people sitting in a circle around each bonfire. When they passed by the bonfire, Du Yue could clearly see the expressions on everyone’s faces under the light of the fire.

Most of them were expressionless, their eyes numb and empty. There was no desire or yearning for the future in their eyes. Du Yue looked into their eyes and could empathize with everyone’s despair. No one could be blamed, because no one knew if tomorrow would be even more difficult. No one knew if the sun would still appear in the sky.

No matter how hard they tried, their life would not improve at all. But even if they did not have enough to eat or they could not sleep, no one was willing to die. As long as they lived, they would be able to see the day the sun rose.

Du Yue looked away from them and was about to continue walking. Suddenly, a person jumped out from the crowd and ran toward them. With a thud, he knelt in front of them.

Du Yue and the other two were shocked by this sudden change. They immediately stopped in their tracks. Du Yue looked at the person in front of her. With the help of the bonfire not far away, she could roughly tell that the person kneeling in front of them was a man. However, this man was thin and looked less than 100 pounds.

When Du Yue was observing the man, the man was looking up at them. “Please save me! Just give me some food! Just a little bit! I’m about to die, but I still have a seven-year-old son. He’s been fainting from hunger these few days. If he doesn’t eat something soon, he’ll probably starve to death! I beg you to be kind.. Even if I have to die, I want my child to have a full meal before I die…”
