The old man was stunned for a while and continued to push the cart inside. Because the whole cart was kicked and tilted by the man just now, it was even more difficult to control the direction of the cart. The cart was crooked and needed more effort to stabilize the direction of the cart, and the noise caused by the rotation of the wheels was even louder.

The old man finally stopped in front of a meat vendor. The meat vendor saw the smelly old man and looked contemptuous, but he did not drive him away.

"Boss, come one or two meats." The old man said with a smile at the stall owner.

The boss frowned and did not immediately use a knife to cut the meat. He looked at him with doubt, "Do you have money? Now one or two meats are sold for 80 columns."

"Eighty? The old man was stunned. Didn't he pay back fifty columns of coins a few days ago?" The old man was stunned for a moment.

The stall owner frowned and said, his voice a little loud, "Under the current situation, the currency depreciation is rapidly depreciating, and the prices of goods are of course soaring. One price a day, and in a few days, it may be more than one hundred currency one or two!"

"Okay... OK, then I don't want it." The old man looked a little depressed, and then continued to push the cart away. Finally, he bought some vegetables and some animal offals that were extremely cheap, so the price was extremely low.

On the way back, a commotion suddenly came from the front.

"Stop! Come back!" The old man couldn't see it, but when he heard the command, he seemed to be a soldier.

The old man didn't want to cause trouble and pushed the cart aside to get around the place, but he heard a rushing footstep, and a man had already rushed up and hugged him firmly, "Save...Save me, save me..."

He should be only seventeen or eighteen years old when he heard the sound, but he was just a child who had just grown up. He was frightened at this time, otherwise he would not have been at a loss to find a blind old man to help. Moreover, his tone was trembling, filled with panic.

The old man was also a little at a loss for a moment.

Then, the soldiers came up to pull the boy away, almost pulling him down. The boy was still shouting, "No, I really didn't help the Night Walker, I really didn't..."

"Shut up!"

Then there were several dull sounds of soldiers beating him.

The old man was a little confused and didn't know what was going on, so he stood there blankly.

After a while, the old man continued to walk, and the soldiers should have gone far away, so he heard someone on the side of the road start to talk.

"Oh! It's so miserable. He was obviously having dinner with me a few days ago, but now he has become an accomplice of the Night Walker. The government is getting more and more messy now!"

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the government will capture you too. The situation is tense now, and the government cannot tolerate a grain of sand in its eyes! Those people will be publicly executed if they are arrested! Think about how serious the consequences are!"

After hearing this, the man dared not speak anymore.

The old man was stunned.

Night walkers? Are they accomplices of Night walkers?

He suddenly realized something that the government wanted to use these people to catch the night travelers!

The sky became more and more drizzling. In the wilderness, the old man pushed the cart and walked crookedly towards the direction of his home. On the way, he encountered a piece of wet land. The soil was sticky and the wheels fell.

The old man used all his strength to push, and with a "slap", the stroller that was breathing in lingered and fell to the ground.

At this time, light rain fell in the sky again, and the old man was a little stunned, "It's so unlucky."

"I'll help you carry it in!" Lin Jie said to the old man. He has now come to the old man.

"Please trouble you." The old man smiled, picked up the vegetables he bought from the cart, and shook them at him, "Eat something delicious tonight!"

Lin Jie didn't say anything, lifted the three tall carts and walked towards the low house. Now his strength has recovered a lot, and he will be able to get up and leave soon.

The rain gradually became heavier. Looking at the old man who was wet in the rain, Lin Jie took a few steps forward, followed closely behind the old man, and used the cart in his hand to help the old man block the raindrops.

The old man seemed to notice something, but he said nothing and did not look back.

Back at the house, the old man went to the pond to get the smell of smell on his body, and then began to process the ingredients, saying while processing: "The coins have recently depreciated and I can't buy any good things, but fortunately I'm lucky. I bought these animal offals that have just been dug out, but it's not smelly yet. In this case, I can't buy anything that I couldn't sell before!"

The old man said to Lin Jie as if he was talking about family matters. He seemed to have regarded Lin Jie as his family member.

Lin Jie just leaned against the wall with his chest and quietly watched the old man dealing with the ingredients. He was inexplicably interested in this kind of thing, but he didn't know what it was. He just wanted to see it anyway.

"Can you eat spicy food?" the old man asked.

"Whatever." Lin Jie replied lightly. Anyway, he was not very interested in these things.

"Then... put it a little bit. I used to be quite heavy. I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time. I'm old..." The old man suddenly had a meal and didn't continue to say.

As the smoke from cooking rose, the old man took out a can of oil. The oil inside was basically the bottom. The old man was not stingy, but poured it all into the pot, and drops of oil slowly dripped along the edge of the can.

The jar is empty.

The old man did not put it in its original position, but threw it aside casually, as if he would not use it in the future.

Soon two plates of dishes were fried. Compared with yesterday, the dish this time should be considered a hard dish. It has a meaty aroma and oily water, and it has a bright luster, making it more appetizing.

The old man served Lin Jie a bowl of rice and smiled at him, "The food is good today, eat more!"

Lin Jie was surprised at the bowl of rice, and ruthlessly said, "I can't use so much, I'm not very hungry."

As he said that, Lin Jie was holding the bowl and was about to peel a little into the old man's bowl. The old man also pushed Lin Jie, "No, I will eat it when you can't eat it."

Seeing the old man being tough, Lin Jie also sat back helplessly.

At the dinner table, the old man picked up a little food, took a bite and suddenly his head lowered, and a burst of rapid coughing sounded, and the food in his mouth was coughed out.

Lin Jie looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"

The old man raised his red face and waved his hand with a smile, "It's nothing, I just choked. I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time, and I'm a little uncomfortable..."

Lin Jie didn't say anything, but he always felt that it had a deep meaning.

He also curiously picked up a mouthful and put it in his mouth. It was not as spicy as he thought. It was just salty and spicy, not spicy. It was not as spicy as ordinary people. It seemed that the old man's appetite was really weaker.

After eating a few bites of food, the old man suddenly said: "I encountered some things outside today. The government arrested many people on the street. It is said that they are accomplices of the Night Walker and want to execute them!"

Hearing this, Lin Jie paused with the hand holding the chopsticks, and then he was silent for a moment and then replied simply, "Oh."

The old man continued to eat a few bites of food silently, and then said, "I could hear the despair in their voices at that time."
