Chapter 441: The Ancient Toilet

Translator: End less Fantasy Translation     Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the woman was quite old, she could actually scold people for more than half an hour in one breath. Moreover, she seemed to be getting more and more energetic as she scolded. She did not dare to say anything bad. She just said that they were too evil and so on. As long as they did not care about such words, it would not affect them at all. Du Yue and the other two did not care about her at all. They just did what they should do, but someone could not listen anymore. After a few minutes, a sharp male voice sounded from outside. He only said a few words, “Shut your mouth!”

The woman was stunned by his rebuke and did not speak for a long time. However, she soon shouted again, “Who do you think you are? Why are you telling me to shut up?! Do you think this is your home? If you don’t like the noise, then go live in a villa! What are you squeezing here for?! You’re here scaring an old woman like me. If you have the ability, go…”

The woman’s voice suddenly stopped. It was quiet outside, which made Du Yue somewhat puzzled. Why had the woman stopped scolding the man? Just as she was curious, she heard the male voice from before say coldly again, “One more word and I’ll sew your mouth shut.”

Du Yue raised her eyebrows slightly. No wonder. The woman was threatened and did not dare to speak. Du Yue was very familiar with the man’s voice. It was none other than Guan Sheng.

She was not surprised. Xia Zhixing lived just across the street. It was normal for Guan Sheng to be with her. If Guan Sheng still had not found Xia Zhixing after a few months, he would be too useless. She did not know how Guan Sheng had threatened the old woman, but she did not dare to curse again.

Finally, it was a little quiet. Du Yue and the other two were also planning to have lunch. It was already past one o’clock because of the delay caused by that woman. Du Yue first took out the range hood and battery to charge it, then asked He Xing and Xia Ju what they wanted to eat. The two of them had a simple meal. Each of them had a bowl of noodles and fried eggs, both of which were bland food. The rooms were too close to each other, so even if there was a range hood, it was better to eat mild food. Otherwise, it might attract the attention of others.

Just a tent alone had attracted such a troublesome old woman. If others smelled delicious food coming from their room, Du Yue estimated that those people would surround them. After dinner, Xia Ju took out her phone. “I wonder if there’s any signal underground.”

Du Yue felt that there would not be signal. Before she could speak, she saw Xia Ju put her phone back into her pocket dejectedly. “How annoying. There’s no signal at all.”

Du Yue was not surprised. The biggest purpose of an underground shelter was to protect people from disasters. It was already good enough that they could be protected and did not have to die. Why would the base spend time and effort to set up the internet here? Without the internet and without being able to go out, they did not know what was going on outside, nor did they know when the volcano would erupt. Facing such an unknown disaster, even the calmest person would panic. However, panicking would not solve anything. They could only do something else and force themselves not to think about it. The room was not big, and there were three of them living in it, so it was inconvenient to do many things. If they wanted to go to the toilet, they could only go to the public toilet at the end of the pa.s.sage.

When Du Yue needed to go to the toilet, Xia Ju volunteered to accompany her. The pa.s.sage was very narrow. Looking at their interlocked hands and close bodies, Du Yue found it a little strange. This feeling was similar to when she was still in school. She would hold hands with her best friend to go to the toilet during cla.s.s. This was the first time they went to the toilet since they came here. The toilet was no different from an ordinary public toilet. Men and women were separated. The only difference was that there was no sink here. After entering the female toilet, the area was divided into cubicles.

However, there was no door to the cubicle, nor was there a flus.h.i.+ng device. There was a large iron bucket under the squatting pit. The iron bucket was filled with a thick layer of plant ash. There was also a bucket beside it, which was filled with soil mixed with plant ash. There was also a large ladle. Without any explanation, Du Yue understood at a glance how the toilet was used.

This was a little like the time when she used cat litter! One would do their business into the big metal bucket before covering it with soil and plant ash. Du Yue did not know which genius had thought of this method. Putting everything else aside, it saved them a lot of water. However, there were so many people living here. If they went to the toilet every day, the big metal bucket would probably be filled with excrement in less than three days.. Who would empty it then? Where should they dump it?
