“Scavenging. Good luck, plus I’m pretty handy at fixing things,” Yu Hong replied simply.
“By the way, let me ask you something.” He scanned the people around him. “Do you know where the dried lizard meat we’ve been eating comes from? Could we raise them ourselves?”
Dr. Xu pointed to a balding man standing a bit away from the crowd. “You’ll want to talk to Old Yu. The mushrooms, cockroaches, and lizards we eat all come from him.”
The old man was hunched over, wearing a brown short-sleeved shirt. His eyes were dull, and he coughed occasionally as if he had asthma.
“We call him Yu Toad because of his big belly, and he’s always hunched over, wheezing like a toad. If you want to ask, you’ll have to approach him yourself,” Dr. Xu said quietly. “And I’d advise you to hurry—others have already asked him about it.”
Yu Hong nodded but wanted to ask more questions when suddenly the sound of a door opening came from the stone house.
A heavy wooden door creaked open, and out stepped a middle-aged man with a buzz cut. He was dressed in camouflage fatigues, with a large red postal emblem prominently displayed on his chest.
