Facing his invitation, Jiang Ning decisively refused, "No, we are just unarmed people."

Director Ling looked past her and fixed his eyes on Huo Yishen. "What about you? If I'm not mistaken, you should be from the military or police. The country is in trouble now and it's the time when we need you. Would you consider joining?"

Doudou was frightened and subconsciously hugged his arm, "Brother."

Huo Yishen comforted his sister and raised his head and said, "I retired due to injury. Both my parents died at home, leaving me with a young sister to take care of."

"I'm sorry." Director Ling felt a little sorry. "If you change your mind, you can always come to the police station to find me."

Get in the car and leave.

It was still early, so everyone headed to the department store.

Along the way, Huo Yishen was solemn and silent. Although he was usually taciturn, Jiang Ning could tell that he seemed a little depressed.

Could it be that Director Ling’s words touched him?

Yes, the military and police have a spirit of sacrifice and dedication, and his skills are definitely fine. Retirement due to injury is just a cover.

He must have a deeper secret and was forced to make the decision to retire, but the responsibility and mission as a military policeman tormented him.

People always have to make choices, how can they not let down Tathagata and lover?

Doudou held his brother's hand, and a smile appeared in his eyes unconsciously.

Jiang Ning couldn't help but lower her head, and Kele happened to look up, her pupils reflecting her entire shadow.

Zhang Chao and Lu Yu were having fun in the front, while Zheng Weili followed behind, giving them some time to relax.

There were many people in the department store, so for safety reasons, Jiang Ning put the dog in a backpack and walked into the bustling trading market.

It was her first time here, while Zhang Chao and others had been here several times and were strolling around with ease.

Although it is extremely cold, it is obviously much busier than during the floods, with people coming and going everywhere, but most of them are there to watch the fun and very few are there to make deals.

The goods sold at the stalls are varied, but the needs of the stall owners are very similar: food, charcoal, or medicine.

They come every day, but leave empty-handed every day.

Jiang Ning couldn't say what he wanted, so he could only walk and look, and then stopped at a stall.

The stall owner is a veterinarian who opened a pet clinic before the natural disaster. His stall is filled with pet supplies or toys, deworming medicine, hair softener, dog hair cleaner, nail clippers, etc.

If it was before the natural disaster, it would have been a huge profit, but now no one is interested.

Jiang Ning hadn't found the dog before, so naturally he hadn't prepared these things. Now he couldn't help but be excited when he saw them.

She picked out dog chew sticks, chew balls, dog leashes, dog hair cleaners, and deworming medicine, making sure they were not expired or unopened.

Jiang Ning didn't feel bad about buying it for the dog, so he took out everything he might need, "How much do these cost?"

There are a lot of things, including several bottles of anthelmintic alone. It would cost several thousand yuan before the end of the world. But now, not to mention pets, even people can't survive. The boss hasn't made a single sale in more than a month since opening the store.

He was a little excited and held up three fingers.

Just give me three kilograms of rice.

Three kilograms of rice may be a lot for others, but it is not a problem for Jiang Ning.

She was not in a hurry to agree, but pretended to be in a difficult situation.

The boss was afraid that she would not agree, so he lowered the price proactively, "Two kilograms, it really can't be any less. I have children to feed at home."

The man was skinny, with sunken eyes and a dusty look.

Seeing Zheng Weili and others walking forward, Jiang Ning spoke up, "Two catties of refined rice or three catties of broken rice, which one do you want?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly: "Three pounds of broken rice."

Jiang Ning took out three pounds of broken rice from his bag and put them in a black plastic bag.

The man moved quickly, taking it and stuffing it into his thick clothes, fearing that he would be seen and get into danger.

He gave the things to Jiang Ning and told her how to use the anti-worm medicine while packing up his stall and preparing to go home.

When Jiang Ning got up to leave, he found Huo Yishen not far away. Doudou was holding her hairband, and he was holding Doudou's hand, glancing in her direction from time to time.

"Sister." Doudou had a hard time choosing, "Which one looks better?"

The color her brother chose for her was ugly and it didn't look good on her.

Children like bright colors, red, pink, orange and blue.

Look at what Huo Yishen has chosen, black, white, gray...

Uh, no wonder Doudou doesn’t like it.

Jiang Ning lowered her head to help Doudou choose. Unexpectedly, the vendor was very flexible. Seeing the man standing behind the woman in a protective manner, he immediately came up with an idea and sneaked up to ask, "Girl, do you want a small umbrella?"

Small umbrella? Jiang Ning was a little confused and didn't react for a while.

The vendor took one out of his pocket mysteriously and waved it in front of Jiang Ning, "It's genuine, the quality is absolutely guaranteed."

Shit…so that’s what it was. How did he know she had any needs?

"The world is in a bad place right now. It's hard enough for you two to raise a child. If you get pregnant again, it will be fatal. Not to mention whether the child can be born, even your life may be in danger."

The vendor tried his best to sell, "Girl, buy some and keep them at home. You can use them over and over again. I guarantee it's worth it."

Jiang Ning dug her toes into the ground in embarrassment, but she remembered that there were 3,000 of them stored in her space, and she didn't need them anyway. Besides, she was wrapped from head to toe with only her eyes showing, so there was no embarrassment. So she asked curiously, "How much do you sell it for?"

Her attention was distracted, and she seemed to have forgotten that Huo Yishen was standing behind her.

The vendor held up a finger and said, "Five catties of refined rice or refined flour."

Five kilograms of rice or noodles in exchange for a small umbrella?

Ah this...she is going to get rich!

Of course, she didn't plan to sell it now. Everyone who came here was trying to survive, and it was not easy to sell it. When the inventory was used up in the future, she would take it out and trade it with rich people, exchanging the space for gold, jade, antiques, etc., or exchange it for something she didn't have.

Seeing her frown, the vendor thought she thought it was too expensive, so he used his eloquence and said, "Sister, I see you guys don't need that bite of food, but you can't delay your entertainment.

This is brand new and unopened. I need four and a half kilograms of grain to buy it. I can't sell it at a loss, right?

If you think it's expensive, I have second-hand ones here. They only cost two kilograms of grain. The quality is good and durable. If you don't believe me, you can check the goods on the spot.

By the way, what size do you want?"

Second-hand? Jiang Ning was instantly struck by lightning, and his stomach churned.

The vendor was embarrassed and unaware of it. He glanced at Huo Yishen and asked, "Brother, what's your code?"

Ah, this... The foul-mouthed Jiang Ning realized it later and subconsciously turned his head to look at him.

I don’t know if Huo Yishen has a high level of cultivation or he simply doesn’t understand, his deep eyes are calm and peaceful, “No need, thank you.”

Jiang Ning, who was killed by the society, "..."

Without saying a word, he turned around and fled.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't leave. The price is negotiable. Don't you want the hairband?"

Doudou was confused and said, "Brother, my hairband."

“There are more beautiful ones behind.”

"What's wrong, sister?" Doudou looked up and asked her brother, "Are you mad at me?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Huo Yi thought deeply, "She must be shy."

I'm glad I'm not angry with her. Doudou quickly chased after her, "Sister, wait for me."
