One foot is deep and the other is shallow. Anyway, no matter what, Fangyuan returned to the place where he lived, which was the vegetable cellar.

Fangyuan was so frozen, especially the hand holding the basket, that he almost lost all feeling.

Putting the basket on the ground, looking at the eggs in the basket Fangyuan shook his head, not because of anything else, but because the eggs were too expensive.

Thirty-two eggs cost sixteen yuan. Even in later generations, it is estimated that they will not cost so much, except of course, for local eggs.

But there is no way. This is a difficult period for three years. Don't say you have no money. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

If it weren't for the three-year difficult period, eggs like this would cost less than three cents each, which means the price of eggs has increased more than ten times.

However, it is understandable that if it were not for the three-year difficult period, food stamps would not be so expensive. Under normal circumstances, a pound of fine food stamps would only cost 20 cents.

But now a pound of fine grain stamps costs two and a half yuan. What is the concept? It has also increased more than ten times.

Of course, the highest price increases are not for eggs and fine grain stamps, but for coarse grain stamps. Under normal circumstances, one kilogram of fine grain stamps can be exchanged for nine kilograms of coarse grain stamps.

In other words, under normal circumstances, a pound of coarse grain stamps is only about two cents, not much more.

But now! A pound of coarse grain stamps actually costs 80 cents, which is almost forty times higher. What is the concept?

To be honest, being able to buy thirty-two eggs was definitely a surprise for Fangyuan. In fact, he wanted to buy them all at the beginning, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to get them, so he planned to buy ten. Who knew that ten would be enough?

Not easy to get.

If this is the case, then he will have them all. From now on, he will eat one every day, which will be enough for him for a month. In addition, there is some meat at home, so if he eats it sparingly, he will not be short of nutrients for a month and a half.

Fangyuan hasn't eaten yet. He is indeed hungry. Not only is he hungry, he is also very thirsty. He has no choice but to let his water bottle freeze! He can't even drink water if he wants to.

First, I boiled some water and poured it into the lunch box to cool down, and then started cooking. Because it was getting late, Fangyuan made it very simple.

I didn’t cook any vegetables, so I heated up the leftover vegetables from yesterday and baked two pieces of steamed cakes. It’s winter now, and I’m in the vegetable cellar, so basically everything won’t spoil.

After eating, he drank the almost cold boiled water, and then Fangyuan took a rest. He slept very well this time, it should be said that he slept very soundly.

Also, after running for a day, I am exhausted, can I not sleep well? It would be better if he was an adult, but he is just a child now.

The next morning, Fangyuan cooked an egg for herself, and then fried a cabbage. There was no meat in the stir-fry this time, because one egg was nutritious enough.

After breakfast, Fangyuan took out his wooden box and put all the money from yesterday's sale into it, including the remaining food stamps.

I was so tired last night that I forgot about this. It’s not safe to carry money with you, so it’s better to put it away.

Of course, it’s not like Fangyuan doesn’t carry a penny with him. He always has money on him, but not much, definitely not more than one yuan.

After putting the money away, Fangyuan left the vegetable cellar. Because he had a very good sleep this time, he was very energetic now, so he ran to the west gate of the woolen mill again.

You must know that a person is very lonely. Two days a day is fine, but ten days and a half month are a bit difficult.

Fangyuan didn't want to go find someone to talk to, just let him see the person, even if it was to watch from a distance.

Arriving at the street near the west gate of the Woolen Mill, Fangyuan found many children playing outside and had no intention of going to school.

Seeing this, Fangyuan suddenly realized that today might be Sunday. After being here for so long, Fangyuan really didn’t know what date it was.

He only knew that it was December. As for how long it was, he really didn’t know. He didn’t even know the date, let alone what day of the week it was.

When those children who were smaller than Fangyuan saw him coming, they just looked at him and continued playing.

Some of the children who were about the same age as Fangyuan, or older than him, just glanced at him when they saw him coming, but some of them looked at him a little unkindly.

This made Fangyuan very depressed. He didn't seem to have offended these people! Why did he look at himself like that? Fangyuan shook his head and walked aside.

He doesn't want to have any conflicts with these children, because he knows that in that case, he will be the one who suffers.

He may not care about one or two, but what about three or five! Or ten or eight! He can still not care.

It is estimated that he will be the one looking for teeth all over the place by then, which is why Fangyuan insists on exercising every day.

Because he knows that as he gets older, he will inevitably have conflicts with others. If he is alone, he will definitely suffer a loss.

Seeing Fangyuan walking aside, a few guys followed them quietly. When they noticed that they were following, Fangyuan smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, just when Fangyuan was about to leave quickly, one of the children shouted from behind: "Hey! The little beggar is standing."

Adults may mistake Fangyuan for someone’s child in the courtyard of a woolen mill, but children definitely won’t.

Because adults are at work all day long or doing housework at home, and have very little time outside.

These children are different. They run outside every day. How could they not know that Fangyuan is not a child living here?

"Alas!" Fangyuan sighed, turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Little beggar, what are you doing here?" one of the taller children asked.

He is taller, which means he is older. He is probably the eldest among the children, that is, the king of children.

"I was passing by." Fangyuan didn't want to cause trouble, so he answered in a satisfactory manner. Of course, the main reason was that there were many people on the other side, otherwise he would definitely say "None of your business!"

But he didn't. There were five people on the other side. The leader was a year or two older than him, and the other four children were about the same age as him.

Beating him is a big deal, but of course, if he just wants to run away, he won't suffer much.

It's just that Fangyuan doesn't intend to run away. He hopes to resolve the matter peacefully. In that case, he can come here often to play in the future.

If he runs away, it is estimated that these guys will chase him and beat him every time they see him, which will be a bit outweighed by the gain.

However, Fangyuan is not a person who likes to suffer losses. Although he did not intend to run away, he started to walk around on the ground. It would be best if he could give him a stick or a brick or something.

Just like last time in the city, he had an ax in one hand and a kitchen knife in the other, and didn't he scare three children who were older than him? In the end, he obediently gave him the clothes.

Let’s put it this way! If he had an ax and a kitchen knife in his hand now, he would not take these five children seriously at all.

After all, they are still children, and it is easy to be frightened, but he has nothing in his hands.

Not only was it not in his hand, it was not on the ground either. In fact, even if it was there, he couldn't find it. There was still a thick layer of snow on the ground.

"Passing by? I think you're here to steal something!" said the leading child.

It's true that Fangyuan doesn't want to cause trouble, but he's not afraid of trouble either. Hearing this sentence that he came to steal things, Fangyuan frowned.

"You have to provide evidence when you speak. When did I steal something? Did I steal from your house?"

"Hey, that's pretty cool." The guy in the lead smiled, walked a few steps towards Fangyuan, and didn't stop until he was in front of Fangyuan.

He pushed Fang Yuan again and said, "I told you to steal, so you stole. What, do you have any objections?"

In his opinion, Fangyuan is just a little beggar, and that’s just what he says!

And everyone will only believe him and not Fangyuan.

This is normal. After all, this is someone else’s territory. How can a foreigner in this area compare with someone else?

Besides, even if people believed in him, they wouldn't help a little beggar.

Hearing what the other party said, Fangyuan lost his temper. Because what he said was right, Fangyuan didn't want to talk to him anymore, turned around and was about to leave.

"You stand here and I let you go?"

No matter when, it is the nature of children to bully. This is the case now and will be the case in future generations. Otherwise, there would not be so many bullying incidents in schools.

These children may not understand what bullying is yet, but this is what they are doing now.

Knowing that he might not be able to leave smoothly, Fangyuan would not be polite. As the saying goes, the first to strike is the strongest.

No, Fangyuan turned around and punched him directly.

This sentence was very close to Fangyuan, and he probably didn't expect Fangyuan to make a move, so he was stunned for a moment. In this stunned moment, Fangyuan's punch had already made close contact with his face.

"Pa!"

"Ah!!!!"

The leading child screamed, then covered his face and shouted: "Hit me, hit me hard."

Just as the leading child finished speaking, four guys had already gathered around him. In fact, when Fangyuan made a move, the four children had already moved. Even if the leading child didn't speak, they would still make a move towards Fangyuan.

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Fangyuan was rude. He was definitely no match for the four of them, so he used another strategy.

That was to grab one and beat him to death. Fang Yuan grabbed the hair of the guy in front of him, pushed it down, and raised his knees.

"Bang!"

Fangyuan's knees were in contact with this guy's face.

"Ah!!!!!!" The sound of this scream was relatively long, at least much longer than that of the guy who took the lead.

Likewise, the blow this time was harder than that of the guy in the lead.

Fangyuan succeeded, but at the same time, he also received a few punches, but they were all hit on the back and head.

He didn't use weapons, just fists, so the damage to Yuan Yuan was not great.

Fangyuan didn't let go, still grabbing the guy's hair and punching him one after another.

And as long as he gets a chance, he will use both fists and kicks.
