After eating, Simon went out with his bag to replenish supplies.

Three dogs and one cat are really not edible, and grocery shopping every day is a hassle.

I encountered some disharmonious scenes on the road. There were beggars and homeless people at the entrances of the alleys, in the trash cans, and even on the benches on the roadside. They were huddled in the corners, trying hard not to be noticed.

Many of these beggars are young. There were not so many before, but today there are more.

Especially when we arrived at the vegetable market, there were many little beggars squatting outside the dirty vegetable market, looking at the vendors and the people passing by with shrinking eyes.

Simon frowned even more.

When I walked into the vegetable market and came to a meat stall, the owner of the butcher stall saw Simon as if he were seeing his father. He nodded and bowed and said hello: "Uncle Simon, you are here to buy meat again."

"Why are you here if you don't want to buy meat?"

"Still the same old rules?"

"I weighed thirty more pounds today."

"Okay!" The butcher stall owner smiled even more happily.

"Bring me fresh meat, don't fool me with yesterday's meat."

"Look at what you said, how dare I. You are my uncle, and I still expect you to come to me every day to buy meat."

Simon went for a walk and came back with a big bag of vegetables and fruits.

"Why are there so many beggars and homeless people here today?" Simon asked doubtfully.

"You said those beggars outside are all from Xiacheng District. Didn't you know that there was such a serious rat plague a few days ago? A lot of military police were dispatched to the city hall, and you heard the sound of gunfire.

Many families are broken up. When you came in, you should have seen that many of the beggars were very young. Their parents died in the rat plague. They could not survive in the lower city at such a young age, so they fled here."

"Every time after the market closes here, there will always be some rotten vegetables, minced meat, etc., and these beggars will come and fight for it."

"Well, just last night, a seven- or eight-year-old beggar competed with a stray dog ​​for food, and was bitten to death by the stray dog. His body was messed up by the stray dog. It was very tragic."

"The world is getting more and more difficult."

The butcher stall owner talks a lot. Whatever Simon asks, he can always tell a lot of things.

"But these little beggars will disappear soon."

"why is that."

"These little beggars are helpless and are very suitable coolies. How can those gangsters in the outer city let them go? It is estimated that these little beggars will be captured in a few days and sent to black factories or brothels. With luck,

Little by little, they are taken over by gangsters, and one day they will be found dead on the streets.

It's better to die. If you die early and be reborn early, you may have a good child in the next life and enjoy glory and wealth like you."

"Your meat is ready."

Simon placed a few bills on the stall and picked up the bag.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, uncle, you really have no strength. Even a rough guy like me can't compare to you even if I work every day." The butcher stall owner praised.

"See you later." Simon smiled. With the practice of the Secret Sequence Technique, magic energy continued to nourish his body, and his physical fitness became stronger and stronger.

When he walked out of the vegetable market, Simon looked at the little beggars squatting around him and turned back with an expressionless expression.

Simon walked to a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes.

The sweet potato seller was an old man. He nodded and bowed to Simon: "Boss, do you want roasted sweet potatoes?"

"I've got all these roasted sweet potatoes," Simon said.

"I'll pack it for you right now." The old man selling sweet potatoes flushed with joy. He picked up a torn bag and started to pack the roasted sweet potatoes. He wasn't afraid of burning them, so he grabbed the freshly roasted sweet potatoes directly, for fear that Simon wouldn't buy them.

"Keep the change, please."

Simon carried the bag and walked out towards a dirty alley next to a vegetable market.

As soon as Simon's figure appeared, he immediately "swished" and several eyes fell on him.

Because of the smell of roasted sweet potatoes, these ragged homeless people couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their noses twisted slightly, as if they would be full after a few more sniffs. When they found Simon, their shrinking eyes immediately lowered,

They could see that Simon was a rich man.

They are naturally afraid of rich people, but when Simon walked into the dirty alley, the cowering eyes of several older homeless people began to turn to greed.

There are homeless people whispering to each other.

At this time, a little beggar flew up to Simon, knelt on the ground, exposed his leaky teeth, and kept kowtowing to him.

"Uncle, please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten in two days."

The little beggar in front of Simon was unkempt, wearing a tattered sportswear, with half of the trouser leg on the left missing. He had a dirty face and looked very ordinary, except for his bright eyes. He should be a smart young man.

The other little beggars stretched their necks to watch and wanted to go up, but they were afraid of Simon's anger and hesitated to go forward.

"Get up and follow me." Simon glanced at him and said.

Simon walked forward, and the little beggar whispered: "You can't go there."

Simon ignored it and walked into the alley. The little beggar glanced around and saw the malicious looks cast by the older homeless people.

The little beggar hesitated a little, looked at Simon's back, gritted his teeth, got up as fast as he could, and ran over.

Simon was standing in the alley when the little beggar limped over.

"Uncle, please leave quickly. Those homeless people are very hungry and can do anything."

I took a look at the boy's left leg. I saw that the left foot and the right foot were not the same length, but a long and short leg.

Such a boy was born in Xiacheng District. If he is lucky, he may be able to survive to adulthood with the help of some kind people and scraps from the streets.

If you are less lucky, you will probably be caught by a gang one day and put into a black factory to work day and night until you die of exhaustion, either because of hunger, or you will be beaten to death one night, and then be thrown into the stench early the next morning.

They were burned together with other corpses in the cold body collection truck.

Although he is very young, he has obviously vaguely seen these two future paths, so he will do his best to seize any opportunities that may arise.

For example, at this moment, he mustered up the courage to follow Simon and express himself to the best of his ability, hoping to seize the opportunity to change his miserable fate.

Simon looked up and saw a few homeless people running over.

"Uncle, please leave quickly, I will help you stop them." The little beggar said with courage he didn't know where he came from.

Simon was indifferent, but the little beggar was extremely anxious.

Five homeless people surrounded Simon, staring greedily at the roasted sweet potatoes and bags of meat in Simon's hands.
