Chapter 607: Do You Want to Stay?

Zuo Mingdong sat down after saying that, but his expression was not too good. “I went to tell the people behind that we’ve already captured the people who occupied this place. I also wanted to let them out. Although I didn’t expect them to thank us, I didn’t expect them to ask us to get out of here immediately, saying that this is their territory. As for coal, we have to exchange it for grain. One catty of grain can only be exchanged for one catty of coal.”

Speaking of this, Zuo Mingdong’s face became more and more gloomy. “If we don’t save them, they’ll still be kept in captivity like animals. Before this, they were forced to work every day and didn’t even have enough to eat. Now that we’ve dealt with the people who occupied this place, it’s fine if they’re not grateful, but they actually raised the coal price. They’re really too shameless! So I left a few people behind to watch them and told my subordinates not to open the door for them no matter what they say.”

Du Yue could not help but give him a thumbs-up. “That’s how they should be treated!” When fighting against such ungrateful people, the kinder you were, the more they would bully you. When you were tough, they would not dare to act rashly.

Du Yue then asked Zuo Mingdong, “Then how do you plan to deal with them?”

Zuo Mingdong curled his lips into a fake smile. “We’ll keep them there, just like before. According to the accounts, when these people are let out to work, they come out in batches. Moreover, those who come out have to wear shackles. There’s no possibility of escape or resistance.”

Du Yue nodded. “That’s good. Lock up the people next door in the same way. Every time they work, they’ll also wear shackles.”

Zuo Mingdong agreed with her suggestion very much. “I think so too. We can’t feed such a large group of people for nothing. We have to make full use of this labor force! One more thing, I checked all the warehouses here just now. There’s a lot of coal in every warehouse. If you’re in a hurry to go home, 1’11 arrange for someone to help you load the car now. You can return directly after you wake up tomorrow.”

Du Yue was indeed in a hurry to go home, but she was not in such a hurry. After all, they had just taken over this place and did not understand the situation here. Zuo Mingdong and his men only had a dozen people in total. If they could not deal with those people, it would not be good if anything happened.

“We can leave after that. Otherwise, you might not be able to deal with the situation here yourself,” Du Yue said.

Zuo Mingdong was pleasantly surprised, but after careful consideration, he felt that this was indeed something Du Yue and the others would do. Du Yue and He Xing looked cold and difficult to get along with. They did not seem to want to have too much contact with anyone. However, as long as someone got along with them for a long time, they would realize that the two were actually very willing to help their friends as long as it was within their abilities.

“Alright, then you guys go upstairs and find a place to rest. I’ll arrange for someone to cook,” Zuo Mingdong said.

Du Yue did not decline. “Alright, I’ll have to trouble your people then.”

There were more than ten rooms upstairs, and each room had four bunk beds, which could accommodate quite a number of people. Du Yue and He Xing randomly chose a corner room, while Shen Teng chose the room next to theirs. After entering the room, Du Yue closed the door. Du Yue and He Xing began to check the room together. After making sure that there was nothing unusual in the room, Du Yue put all the bunk beds in the room into the space and took out an extra-long sofa to place against the wall.

They still had to go downstairs for dinner later and would not be able to sleep now. Du Yue was not in a hurry to take out the bed. Now, they just needed a place to sit and rest.

It had probably been a long time since anyone had lived here because there were no personal belongings in the room. There were only four bare beds, and the floor was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Although it was a little dirty, at least they had a place to stay. Du Yue and He Xing were quite satisfied. The two of them sat on the couch. Du Yue smiled sweetly at He Xing. “I want to lie on your lap and sleep for a while.”

“Sleep, then.” He Xing stroked Du Yue’s hair lovingly. Du Yue smiled and lay on his lap. Du Yue had been through so much trouble on the road, and after coming here, she was exhausted.

However, although she had suffered a lot, the final result was still good.

He Xing suddenly asked, “Do you want to stay here and live here in the future?”

Du Yue was a little puzzled.. “Why are you suddenly saying this? You want to stay?”
