In the days that followed, the grass planted by Xia Ju became lusher and lusher day by day. Xia Ju had expanded the planting area. Now, standing on the roof of the car, hundreds of square meters were covered with lush grass. There was less water in the river beside them than when they came. Fortunately, He Xing had thought of the water problem before coming here, so he had prepared well-drilling equipment in advance, as well as water pumps and pipes. After He Xing’s transformation, the quality and functions of these things were many times better than before.

Therefore, they dug a well, and the water from the well was very clean. He Xing had also specially built a water room. The well was placed inside, and a water purifier and lamp were installed. They usually used this water to wash their faces and brush their teeth.

When they first arrived, there were only two lonely RVs and a small courtyard. Now that there were many more facilities, the yard was also much bigger than before. The open space in the courtyard was covered with green grass. It no longer looked as desolate as before. The grassland was getting more and more lush. Even if the sheep they raised ate all day long, it could only eat up a small piece of grassland in front of them. Du Yue could only cut the remaining grass and store it in her space for the time being. After gathering a few hundred kilograms of grass and mushrooms, Du Yue and He Xing decided to make a trip to Lu Donglai’s encampment.

They could not use up so many things, so they might as well use them to exchange for sheep with Lu Donglai and the others.

Apart from the sheep, Du Yue also wanted to trade a few horses from Lu Donglai. That day, when she saw Lu Donglai’s group galloping on horseback, she could not help but feel envious. Therefore, she wanted to experience the feeling of riding a horse before the polar night fell. Du Yue told He Xing and Xia Ju her thoughts, and both of them agreed. However, there were too many things in their camp now. Although they had an electric fence, they still needed someone to guard at home.

“Don’t worry, you two!” Xia Ju volunteered. “I won’t go. I want to stay at home and protect my lamb!”

Du Yue nodded and did not try to persuade her anymore. She and He Xing went to scout first. Xia Ju could go next time. Du Yue took out the car that He Xing had driven from the space and removed all the seats behind the driver’s seat.

With enough space now, she could put all the grass and mushrooms in it. Du Yue looked at the grass and mushrooms piled up in the car and was already looking forward to the horse and sheep.

Du Yue and He Xing got into the car and waved at Xia Ju. “Be good and watch the house. Well come back as soon as possible!”

Xia Ju nodded heavily, “Don’t worry!”

He Xing stepped on the accelerator and drove away toward the north. Without the cover of dense fog, they were the only car on the vast grassland, so they could drive as freely as they wanted, and the speed was much faster than before.

Du Yue was not worried at all about Xia Ju, who was staying at home alone. Before they left, they deliberately left Xia Ju with a lot of weapons. Coupled with Xia Ju’s skills, there were probably not many people who would dare to provoke her. They had never been to Lu Donglai’s encampment, so they could only drive north according to his previous description. After driving for less than an hour on the grassland, they saw dozens of huts of various sizes in the distance. There were many people moving around the camp. Someone heard the sound of a car and looked over. The huts were surrounded by a fence and a gate.

At this moment, there were already many people standing at the entrance to watch the show. He Xing parked the car a few dozen meters away from the door and got out of the car with Du Yue.

Before the two of them could get close, the gate was pushed open from the inside. A man in black clothes and black pants walked toward them. The two of them looked closely and realized that the person who had come was Lu Donglai. Lu Donglai took big steps and arrived in front of them in just a few steps. Seeing that it was Du Yue and He Xing, Lu Donglai’s eyes were filled with undisguised joy. “It’s really you guys! I thought I had seen it wrongly! Are you here to exchange things with me this time?”

He Xing nodded. “That’s right. We’re here to exchange things with you.”

Lu Donglai smiled. “The quality of the salt 1 exchanged with you guys last time was very good. Although I haven’t finished it yet, I can still trade for it.”

He Xing shook his head. “We didn’t bring salt this time. We brought other things.” He Xing said as he walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk.

Seeing this, Lu Donglai quickly followed. As the trunk door opened, Lu Donglai saw a small mountain of grass in the car.

His eyes lit up at first, then turned red. He could not remember how long it had been since he had seen such a vibrant green color..
