Du Yue did not know if the aunt had left with her grandson, but that was not important. In short, they did not dare to knock on their gate again. After the chicken soup was ready, the two of them drank two or three bowls each and left some for Xia Ju in the s.p.a.ce. After eating and drinking their fill, it was already very late. The two of them lay in bed and began to feel sleepy.

As Du Yue’s consciousness blurred, she suddenly heard an urgent and painful cry. The voice was not soft. It sounded like it came from right in front of their courtyard. Du Yue had already sat up on the bed the moment she heard the voice. He Xing also reached out to turn on the lights. He looked at Du Yue with a mocking smile in his eyes. When he spoke, his tone rose. “It seems that someone didn’t take our kind words seriously and insisted on giving it a try.” Hearing He Xing’s words, Du Yue instantly understood what was going on.

Someone probably wanted to break through their gate or climb over the wall. Not only did they not achieve their goal, but they were also electrocuted by the electric fence. Before going to bed, He Xing deliberately increased the current. People would not die if they came into contact with the electric fence, but they would suffer. Du Yue did not care if the person outside was really electrocuted to death, but she wanted to go out and see who dared to barge into their house.

The two of them quickly dressed up and walked out together. They quickly studied the situation. He Xing looked around and did not see any signs of anyone breaking in. Just as they were wondering where that person had gone to hide, they heard someone at the gate cursing, “Get out here! This lousy electric fence that you installed in your house has electrocuted my husband until he fainted! You must give us an explanation today!”

This voice was very unfamiliar. Du Yue could conclude that she had never dealt with the person who spoke before. She strode forward and turned off the electricity on the gate before pus.h.i.+ng it open. Looking at the source of the flashlight, there was a person standing in front of the door. From her messy long hair and thin figure, one could barely recognize that it was a woman. Her face and lips were pale. When the flashlight shone on her, she looked like a ghost.

Although she was a little surprised, Du Yue quickly recovered. After all, Du Yue had lived in various small bases and ruins in her previous life. She had seen many people like this woman and was already used to it. The only thing that puzzled Du Yue was that this woman lived in a big base. How could she do something so embarra.s.sing? Zuo Mingdong had mentioned to them before that as long as the base had verified the situation of those who were undergoing difficulties, the base would give them some help accordingly. With the help of the base, even if they could not live happily, they would not be as thin as a skeleton.

This woman was really too strange. Du Yue was puzzled when the woman looked at them with resentment. “Your house’s electric fence electrocuted my husband until he fainted. Tell me, what should we do about this?!”

Du Yue frowned and looked over. “You already said that it’s my house’s electric fence, so it’s naturally installed in my yard. How did your husband come into contact with my house’s electric fence?”

“He… He just wanted to go in and take a look. He just climbed up the wall when he was electrocuted!” At first, the woman seemed to have a little guilt, but the more she spoke, the more confident she became. “The wall of your house was built on the territory of the base, and you didn’t take proper protection measures. You caused an innocent person to be electrocuted, so, of course, you have to give an explanation!”

“An innocent person? Are you saying that your husband, who barged into someone else’s house, is innocent? The electric fence didn’t electrocute him to death because we showed mercy, and you still came to ask for an explanation. What a joke!”

Hearing Du Yue’s refusal without hesitation, the woman suddenly went crazy. “You have to compensate us!” Her pale face, which looked terrifying, became even more distorted. “If it wasn’t for your family showing off, you wouldn’t have asked someone to send you a chicken in front of everyone! My husband won’t put himself in danger, so you have to take responsibility for this!”

As she spoke, the woman actually cried. “You have to take responsibility. Otherwise, he’ll kill me when he goes back… Hurry up and compensate him. Otherwise, he won’t let the two of you off when he wakes up! You have to compensate!” The woman muttered to herself as if she was talking to Du Yue.

Du Yue hated dealing with people who pretended to be crazy. She frowned slightly and planned to turn around and leave.

Just as Du Yue was about to turn around, the woman suddenly rushed toward Du Yue. The woman’s hands were as thin as dead wood, and there was a deep layer of dirt under her fingernails. It had been a long time since she washed her hands..
