Chapter 32: A Respectable Old Man

Old Tu, this is a legendary figure.

There is no trace of Old Tu's name. He grew up in Alicante and, like most people, lived an ordinary life.

Logically speaking, he should have lived an ordinary life, married, had children and lived out his life peacefully.

However, he had experienced droughts and floods, and when the days calmed down, he saved up a little money and prepared to marry a wife and live a normal life. However, the taxes in Alicante city became increasingly severe in those years. Not only did he not get married, he also lived a miserable life and had to tighten his belt to make ends meet.

I remember that was the saddest winter in Alicante.

All the food had been handed over to the government, and everyone had nothing to eat.

At that time, the aging old Tutou was struggling to survive by relying on the help from a few nearby neighbors.

Food was the most precious thing these days. Old Tu didn't want his neighbors to waste food on an old man like him, so he packed up his things and headed into the mountains.

Everyone thought that Old Tutou would not survive and would go into the arms of the God of Light.

But I didn't expect that more than half a month would pass.

On a sunny morning, Old Tu came in looking disheveled, carrying some strange things on his back, holding this booklet in his hand, and leaning on a cane.

He had a messy beard, limped, and was incredibly skinny, but he was full of energy, and his thin face was filled with excitement and joy.

He gathered everyone together, held up the booklet, and excitedly said to the residents of Alicante, "Fellow villagers! We have food! We won't starve to death anymore!"

Old Tu stuffed anything he came across in the forest into his mouth. He was lucky enough to have eaten hundreds of things of unknown use and still survived. He compiled the things he had eaten into a life-saving booklet.

It can be said that this book "Edible" saved the lives of many people in Alicante.

Jiang Jin and the little guy sat side by side and listened to Daisy slowly tell the story of Old Tu.

They were both mesmerized by the story, and for a moment they felt as if they were back in that winter, watching Old Tutou, trembling with his cane, standing in the middle of the crowd, shouting excitedly and waving the booklet in his hand, saying to those around him, "Let's go find food in the woods! There's food!"

If you have food, you won’t starve to death.

Who wants to die when they can live?

Jiang Jin wiped the tears from her eyes, and when she opened the tattered booklet again, her mentality was completely different.

"Is Old Tu still alive?" Jiang Jin actually felt an urge to meet him.

"Yes." Daisy nodded. Old Tu looked like he would fall down if the wind blew, but his body was really strong. He had survived everything and was still alive and well.

At night, Lao Tutou grabbed a small bag of beans and carefully dug a hole in his house to hide them.

This was the food he earned from his work. He divided it into more than ten portions and hid them in various corners of the house.

Tonight, I felt particularly comfortable lying in bed while eating soaked beans and some wild vegetables.

It was at this time that Jiang Jin knocked on his door.

Although it is called a door, it is actually just a square piece of wood. Old Tutou's house is so simple that it looks like it will be blown away by the wind.

"Who is it? It's so late and you're disturbing my sleep." Old Tu muttered, but his hands and feet were particularly nimble. He turned over and opened the bolt.

In the moonlight, when Old Tu saw the two people standing at his door, he pointed at Jiang Jin and called out in a trembling voice, "Cheng... Chengli... Chengli Lord!"

This fellow stuttered again.

Jiang Jin couldn't help but reflect on herself. Was she just too scary looking?!

"No need to be so polite." Jiang Jin smiled gently and asked softly, "I read the book you wrote and I'm quite interested in its contents."

Getting straight to the point is Jiang Jin's style.

Old Tu opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect that Jiang Jin had this purpose for visiting him. He was even a little excited and dizzy with joy.

He quickly ushered in Jiang Jin and Daisy behind her, "Please come in! Please come in!"

After Jiang Jin and Daisy came in, Old Tu looked at his messy house and suddenly felt embarrassed and at a loss. He quickly gathered up his pile of scrap metal and threw it under the bed. He laughed dryly and said, "Excuse me, the house is a bit messy."

Jiang Jin didn't care about it at all. Instead, she looked around the bare room carefully. Then her eyes fell on the skinny old man Tu and she sighed slightly.

"Have some water!" Old Tu used the most beautiful wooden cup he had never used before to pour a glass of cold water for Jiang Jin.

Old Tu rubbed his hands and stood in front of Jiang Jin a little stiffly.

"You sit down too." Jiang Jin smiled and signaled him not to be so restrained.

Old Tu forced a nervous smile, holding his water cup, his body a little stiff. He didn't dare to glance in the direction of Jiang Jin and Daisy until Jiang Jin took out the worn booklet.

"My God of Light! This booklet..." Old Tu was filled with emotion as he held the book "Edible".

"This is what I wrote randomly."

Old Tu didn't dare to exaggerate in front of Jiang Jin, so he told the truth, "When I wrote these things down, it was because I didn't have any special reactions after taking them, so I recorded them down. I'm actually not sure what the specific effects of those things are."

He carefully touched the yellowed paper of the booklet, with a hint of reminiscence in his expression.

"You've done a great job."

Jiang Jin's voice rang in Old Tu's ears. He was a little surprised and looked up at her. He was moved by the gentle smile on Jiang Jin's face. Suddenly, his nose felt sore and his eyes turned red for some reason.

"I've lived for most of my life." The old man wiped his eyes, a little embarrassed, "No one has ever said this to me, thank you."

Jiang Jin waited quietly for Old Tu's emotions to gradually stabilize.

The skinny old man in front of her was a respectable old man, and he was also a capable and thoughtful old man.

"Then, are you willing to come with me to the city and complete this booklet?" Jiang Jin made the invitation at the right time.

Old Tu was stunned. He raised his head blankly, and a ray of light seemed to burst out from his cloudy eyes.

"What did you say?" Not only was his voice shaking, but even his fingertips were trembling slightly.

"It's just what you think." Jiang Jin stood up and put on her cloak. Daisy opened the door for her.

Jiang Jin stood at the door, her back to the howling cold wind, and said to Old Tu, "I plan to reorganize your book. If you are willing to come, come to see Yager in the city tomorrow."
