Chapter 471: Unkind Visitors
As soon as Zhao Yeqing returned home and opened the door to the yard, a series of national treasures that he had not spoken for many years burst out of his mouth.
"I'm so @#￥...&%fuck him%...&%! Are these people sick?"
Zhao Yeqing thought too highly of these people. He thought that as long as the helicopter didn't stay over his home, nothing would happen at home.
As soon as I opened the door, I found that the window glass of the bedroom facing the front yard, the shelf in the yard and a solar panel were all shot through by bullets!
Zhao Yeqing was heartbroken and looked around the yard to see if there was any other damage.
Mu Xi parked the car and closed the gate, stopping Zhao Yeqing from cleaning the glass: "I'll do it. These people probably just fired casually when they passed by, and didn't stop to destroy it on purpose, otherwise the loss would be even greater."
Zhao Yeqing was so angry that his eyebrows were about to stand up, and he spoke angrily, "Do I have to thank them?"
Mu Xi comforted her with a smile on his face, threw away the broken glass in his hand, walked forward and hugged her in his arms, stroking her head and smoothing her fur:
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. I just want to make you feel better."
Zhao Yeqing knew that he didn't mean that, but she couldn't control her anger and couldn't help but take it out on him. As soon as she said that, she regretted it. She raised her hand and tightly grasped the clothes around his waist, and murmured, "I'm sorry..."
"It's okay." Mu Xi held her shoulders and pulled her away, leaning down to look into her eyes, his forehead against hers, and said, "It's been just the two of us for so many years. If you don't have the right emotions for me, who else can you turn to? I know you didn't mean it."
His voice was calm and steady, and he spoke slowly, word by word, which immediately calmed the anger and anxiety in her heart. Zhao Yeqing calmed down and asked, "What should we do?"
Mu Xi took her hand and went back into the house. He first sealed the broken window with plastic film to prevent insects from getting in, and then cleaned up the glass shards on the floor. Then the two of them sat on the floor.
The floor of the room is tiled. Both of us pay attention to hygiene and mop the floor every other day, so the floor is always clean.
Mu Xi was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he pulled a blanket under her and put it under her, and then they sat down to discuss a solution.
Zhao Yeqing analyzed: "There is nothing good around here. The only thing worth some money is the gas station. But the helicopter was not going there, but towards Yunwu Mountain. It was getting farther and farther away. It is probably just passing by."
Mu Xi nodded: "If it was parked on Yunwu Mountain, we would be able to hear the movement, but the sound went away without stopping. Maybe it was just passing by. Another possibility is that it was exploring."
"Are they going to expand their influence nearby?" Zhao Yeqing's heart was pounding and his tone was obviously nervous and uneasy.
"Not likely. There is no way to see the outside of the mountains except from the sky. Unless they have their eyes on a piece of land nearby, they may be using this helicopter to find a way. It is also possible that they are not exploring roads and sites, but resources."
What kind of important resources could there be in the mountains?
Zhao Yeqing's heart skipped a beat and he sat up straight: "Could it be a mine?"
“Rare earth minerals!”
After Zhao Yeqing said this, Mu Xi remembered that at the southwest end of the Meishan Mountains, there was a medium-sized rare earth mine!
However, the mine was hundreds of kilometers away from the two of them. They had never considered going there to take the metal, and they would hardly use it. The scrap metal in the nearby tourist area was enough for their daily use. They would not use such high-end resources even if they took them.
The walking distance was far for the two of them, and the journey was difficult and dangerous, but it was different for those people who went there by helicopter. As long as they found the location, it would only take some time to get there, and it would not be tiring or dangerous.
Judging from the direction the plane was flying from and the location of the rare earth mine in the two people's memory, if the other party's target is really the rare earth mine, then it is very likely that it will never pass over their airspace again.
This is the best outcome. Otherwise, both of them would be too passive in every aspect.
The plan was disrupted and they couldn't go get the things today. In order to prevent any accidents, the two of them didn't plan to move the car parked on the meadow. They just left it there. If they came back next time, it would really attract attention if the car was missing.
A damaged car can still be repaired and driven away, which does not fit the characterization the two people intended to create of a savage trapped in the mountains with no supplies and struggling to survive.
Let them think it was an abandoned car that had been parked there.
The two had driven back more than one car before, all covered with large canvas outside the backyard. The one that was damaged today was the first one the two brought back from the tourist area. The one driven back by the convoy and the pickup truck were all still in good condition.
Even if the car is gone, it is not unacceptable, it is just a pity, after all, it is a non-renewable resource.
After they got home and tidied themselves up, they rested in the room and didn't go anywhere. They were even careful when it came to dinner. They didn't cook, and just ate a little and turned off the lights immediately.
Neither of them slept well at night. They lay in bed with their eyes closed, but their nerves were tense and they were always paying attention to the sounds outside.
A quiet night.
The yard and the grain field outside remained untouched. There were no other crops except the newly planted passion fruit. The passion fruit vines were still small and had not yet begun to cling to the support. It was estimated that nothing could be seen clearly when looking down from above.
Even if they saw it clearly, they probably wouldn't like it.
As long as the two of them don't show their heads.
After taking a shower, Zhao Yeqing used the washing machine to dry her clothes instead of hanging them outside, for fear that they might pass by again and see women's clothes drying in the yard.
For several days in a row, there was no smile on Mu Xi's face.
But in the past few days, he hadn't heard the frightening roar again. Zhao Yeqing's mood gradually improved. He stretched out his hand and poked Mu Xi's tense brow.
"Okay, they're not coming back, don't worry, it's okay."
How could they not be worried? Once those people became interested in them, the foreseeable consequence was that the two of them would have no chance of winning.
He held Zhao Yeqing's hand and said, "How about we move to the woods or hide?"
The meadow was too spacious, with nothing in sight and no escape route. If one moved to the mountains or found a slightly secluded place to live, the chances of being found would be much smaller in the vast mountains.
Move away? Zhao Yeqing was stunned. She had never thought about leaving here. Every brick here was made by the two of them, slowly and bit by bit from nothing.
If I really want to move away, where can I move to?
"Go to the village? It's obvious there, or should we find another place? What if we have to move the cattle and sheep? If we can't graze them, we probably won't be able to raise them... Even if we can raise them, we probably can't raise so many. We can only keep two or three. What about Xiaohong? Can we still farm if we go to the mountains?"
