Shen Yan also likes spicy food, so Lu Wan and Shen Yan didn't hesitate to eat. They just looked at the food on the table and started to eat. The two were enjoying their meal when they heard a commotion outside. They didn't pay much attention to it at first, but the wooden board thrown in front of them told them that they had no choice but to ignore it. Before the two of them could get up and go out to check, they saw an old man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s with an apron around his neck and a large machete in his hand. The man who ran in had shifty eyes and was about thirty years old.
"It must be you who stole it! Don't accuse others!" The white-haired old man pointed a knife at the thief with anger, his face turned red. The thief shrank his neck with a bit of fear in his eyes. After all, it was not easy to escape from this place, and there was no way to escape if someone stuck to him. "What did I steal? Tell me, do I look like someone who could steal your money?"
The thief swallowed his saliva, and seemed to want to escape with the help of the people around him, moving little by little out of the inn. "You must have stolen my money. My money was there safely, but it took me only a moment to cut a piece of pork. And you were the only one wandering around cowering." The old man was so angry that he was shaking all over, and his hand holding the knife was unsteady. Lu Wan and Shen Yan looked at the farce in front of them and frowned at the same time.
Lu Wan put down her chopsticks and walked to an old lady, "Hello, auntie, can I ask what happened?" Lu Wan had a kind face and spoke politely, so naturally the auntie had a good impression of her. The auntie was also a kind person and pointed at the old man.
"Well, that guy is a butcher here. His son went to fight in the war a few years ago, leaving him and his wife alone. They were poor, so they raised a few pigs to make ends meet." Lu Wan nodded, and the aunt continued, "As for him, he is a well-known scoundrel in our village. He can steal, rob, cheat, and even steal candy from children."
When the aunt said this, there was an expression of disgust on her face. The people around her also sympathized with the old man and hated the thief, but the thief acted as if nothing had happened and continued to deal with the old man, trying to find a place to escape.
