"Food prices have risen again! It keeps people from living. If it goes up again and again, even the rich can't buy rice. These days, the poor simply can't live!" A rough-looking man poohed on the ground. , and rubbed it down with his feet again, with an angry look on his face.

"Hey, what else can we do? It's an eventful time and we're all fighting. Those officials have to send food to the border. How can they control us?"

"That's what you say, then you don't have to do it so badly! Did you see that Zhang's family at the top of the city, a rich man with a head and a face, didn't collude with the government and monopolize the grain. It depends on his mood and how much he wants to sell. Just how much, poor us common people."

The old man sighed, "A Niu, don't be too angry, the people don't fight with the officials, what's the use of being angry here."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. Anan mentioned it to me yesterday, saying that today he will go to the government to grab food." Niu's voice dropped.

"You don't want to die!" The old man was startled, "Do you know that this is a capital offense!"

"Who cares about his death penalty! I only know that if I have nothing to eat, I will starve to death!"

"Hey, what a crime!" The old man sighed, "In just one month, there were floods of disaster victims, and the court didn't have the heart to manage it. It was all caused by the flames of war."

A Niu looked at the old man, sighed and said nothing, walked two steps and stopped, turned around and said: "Master, remember to go to Doctor Zi to show you, I see you have a bad cough these two days. "

The old man nodded, "Yes, yes."

After Ah Niu left, the old man barely stood up, leaned on the wall and walked out of the alley tremblingly. The prosperity of the past was no longer outside the alley, and the few people passing by were also cautious and lowered their heads. , holding his belly, as if afraid that someone would suddenly run out and snatch his things.

There have been several robberies here recently, but the government doesn't have much energy to take care of it, because they are thinking about how to take advantage of the fire to rob, and the court doesn't have the energy to manage them, so they have more energy to squeeze the people.

There is a small shop at the end of the street, so simple that it doesn't even have a door plaque, but it is full of people, which is very strange at this time.

The old man walked over slowly and entered the room. The room was already full of people, and the voices were very noisy. The cries of children, the curses of adults, the sounds of threats, comfort, and thanks were mixed together. , but it makes people feel that they are still alive in the world, and it is only here that they feel real.
