344 We Can't Hide in the Shop and Wait to Starve to Death!

Waiting in the shop was definitely not a solution. Du Yue asked He Xing, Shall we go back to the small courtyard?

Before He Xing could speak, Young Master Wang spoke first. Are you leaving now? There's a sandstorm outside. How are you going to leave?

Even if we can't leave, we have to find a way to leave. If we keep hiding here, we'll starve to death. There's no food left in this shop.

People were made of steel. If they did not eat, they would be starving. When Young Master Wang heard that there was nothing left to eat at Du Yue's store, he was also anxious to leave.

Du Yue looked at Young Master Wang and said, Drive your car and take your people away. We're leaving too.

Young Master Wang looked at the shutter door worriedly. It's too dangerous to drive in a sandstorm.

Staying here will only put you in more danger.

Staying here meant dying of thirst and starvation. What if there was a chance of survival outside? No one wanted to stay here and wait for death.

Du Yue and He Xing put away the bowls and chopsticks and placed them at the door before opening the shutter door. The moment the shutter door was opened, the strong wind blew the sand and dust toward them. They hit their exposed skin heavily. The pain made Du Yue gasp. Du Yue closed her eyes slightly and did not dare to speak at this time. She carried the two buckets and walked out.

He Xing followed behind her with two more buckets. Young Master Wang also rushed out with his subordinates. Cough, cough, cough!

Du Yue rolled her eyes silently when she heard Young Master Wang coughing. As expected of the silly man. He still dared to open his mouth and speak when the sand was everywhere outside. Under such circumstances, as long as his mouth was open, the sand would rush into his mouth. It would be strange if he did not cough.

When everyone rushed out, He Xing pulled down the shutter door and locked it. After that, everyone ran to the side of the road. When they reached the car, He Xing opened the trunk. The two of them put all the buckets in their hands into it before running to the front and getting into the car. As soon as the door opened a crack, the sand rushed in. Although Du Yue and He Xing did not dare to delay for a second and closed the doors the moment they got into the car, the car was still filled with dust. After a long while, the air in the car gradually recovered.

Du Yue took out a wet towel and wiped it on her eyelids. The wet towel turned earthy yellow in an instant. Looking at the sand on the wet towel, Du Yue could not help but laugh.

He Xing looked at her curiously and asked, What's so funny?

They were covered in dust and sand, yet she could still laugh. Du Yue opened the wet towel for He Xing. I just feel that this is the first time we've been so dejected. It's a little funny just thinking about it.

He Xing stepped on the accelerator. Alright, then you can laugh for a while. We'll be home soon.

The two of them were not bothered to wipe the sand off their bodies and faces. When they got out of the car later, they would still be unable to avoid the sand that would hit their faces. There was really no need to wipe their faces now. On the way, He Xing controlled the speed of the car very slowly. With the thick fog and sandstorm, even if all the lights in the car were turned on, they could only see two to three meters in front of the car. Under such circumstances, safety was the most important thing. Therefore, He Xing would rather slow down.

It was originally only a ten-minute journey, but because of the extremely low visibility, it took them more than 40 minutes to arrive. The car stopped at the entrance of Sunshine Courtyard. Du Yue took out the walkie-talkie. Sister Yu, we're back. Can you think of a way to come over and open the door for us?

As soon as Du Yue finished speaking, Yu Xinya's voice came from the walkie-talkie. Okay! Don't worry and just wait a moment!

Du Yue and He Xing waited obediently in the car. They thought they would have to wait for a while, but they did not expect the door to be opened from the inside after only a few minutes. The person who came to open the door was wearing a raincoat, a mask, and sunglasses. They also wore gloves on their hands. They had wrapped their entire body tightly, so Du Yue could not tell who this person was.

He Xing drove into the courtyard. As soon as they entered, they were blocked by the car in front. Du Yue turned around and saw the person in the raincoat closing the door. After closing the door, the person ran over to them. They stood outside the window and looked inside. Then, they ran forward hurriedly and got into the car in front. Not long after, Yu Xinya's voice came from the walkie-talkie. Sister, you guys go back first! If there's anything, let's contact each other through the walkie-talkie. If there's nothing else, don't go out!
