In the afternoon, Xie Zhuo went into the city again.
However, he was gone for a long time this time, and didn't return until late afternoon.
Xu Yan glanced into his basket; it was empty.
“I have two radios that I had repaired at Lao He’s,” Xie Zhuo said, scooping water to wash his face. “There have been a lot of things going on in the village lately, so I didn’t bring them back.”
