Butcher Zhang blurted out: "My father died a long time ago!"

Old man Li reacted: "Oh, so that old man is your stepfather?"

Butcher Zhang rolled his eyes. "What do you want to say? Everyone's asleep!"

"Gurgle, gurgle!" Old man Li's stomach rumbled.

"I smell steamed buns. Can I ask for something to eat?"

Butcher Zhang was secretly complaining: "Is that a dog's nose? He's begging for food from a bunch of refugees like us in this desolate mountain area? He's got a lump in his head!"

"I smelled it too. Go ahead and take a look. Maybe the disaster victims up ahead are steaming buns!"

Old man Li widened his eyes. Does this man think he is a fool?

"I'm old, not stupid!"

Butcher Zhang sneered, "Hmph, do you think I'm a fool? Just because you ask for food, I have to give it to you. Do I owe you anything? How can such a good thing happen in this world? Just a few nice words can get you food? Your wishful thinking is flying in my face!"

"You...you...are so unsympathetic. It's not easy for us two old men to take care of a child, and you still mock us like this. Wuwuwu...I won't live anymore!"

"Huh? I told you you don't understand what I'm saying. Everyone's asleep. If you want to wail, get out of here."

Old man Li didn't listen to him at all and howled louder and louder.

Butcher Zhang was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to hit him.

Old man Li took two steps back.

Ruoyi grabbed him and said to Old Man Li, "Old man, why are you doing this? We don't have any extra food to give you. We all want to survive. We just met by chance, so please don't make things difficult for us."

"My uncle has a hot temper and is very strong. If he really hurts you, you'll be the one who suffers the pain. If you howl again, it will be like howling wolves. We can run fast, but can the three of you, a grandfather and grandson, outrun us?"

When Old Man Li heard this, he suddenly stopped crying and said, "Give me a few steamed buns and I'll stop crying. Otherwise, you won't be able to rest tonight!"

"Hey! I think you're being shameless. I have a hot temper. If I let go, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

“Ouch! Ouch…”

"Wolf, it's a wolf!" Old man Li picked up his grandson and ran away.
