Hebei, Xiongzhou.

This is the junction of Song and Liao, the south belongs to the Song State, and the north belongs to the Liao State; In this place in the middle, the sergeants patrolling the two countries often came, but Song and Liao did not garrison troops here, especially when this Liao country was invaded by Jin soldiers and Song sent more than 100,000 troops to aid Liao to resist Jin, whether it was garrison or patrol, there was no meaning in the slightest - the so-called steel envoy on the blade, isn't it fragrant to send people to the front line?

Therefore, the Liao State withdrew all the people, and the Song State also withdrew the people in order to show its friendship to the Liao State.

Now it's a vacuum of three things.

On the side of a major traffic artery on the border, a small hotel greets merchants. Although it is on the border, business is booming, and the Han people of Liao who have fled south continue to pass through here, so that this small shop has recently begun to make a lot of money.

The shopkeeper is also a Han man, about fifty years old, with a woman in his forties and fifties, an old man in his forties and fifties, and a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old.

As it grew dusk and there were fewer pedestrians, two old beggars and three children passed by, smelling the leeks in the shop, and licking their white lips in love.

The shopkeeper smiled kindly and shouted to the little girl: "Xiaocao, take out some of the things that the guests haven't finished eating, and let these people cushion the mats!" ”

"Okay uncle! Here it is! ”

The little girl turned and went into the back kitchen, and in a short time took out a large paper bag and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper smiled and handed the paper bag to the two old beggars: "Two old brothers, these are all leftovers from the guests, clean, I don't want to throw it away, don't dislike it, you two will eat it with the three children!" ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper! Good people! ”

The two old beggars thanked with emotion, and regardless of whether there were people around them, they opened the paper bag and began to beckon the three children to eat; It's just that these two old beggars may be a little too old, and their movements are obviously not as good as the three little children, and they eat very slowly.

"Where are the two old brothers from? Are these three children the offspring of the two elder brothers? ”

Seeing that there were not many guests now, and the shopkeeper had nothing to do, he chatted with the two old beggars.

The two old beggars laughed at the three children and said, "Shopkeeper! To tell you the truth, we are not beggars, but refugees from Liaodong. There is a war going on there now, and the Jin people are making a lot of trouble, and they can't go on anymore. Two of these three children were originally from the same township as us, but they were not from the same family, but their fathers were arrested as a resentful army, and the other was arrested by the Jin people to work as coolies. We started to flee and got separated a lot along the way. Neither of them could find their families, and our old brother and I were worried that they would be taken away by the gangsters, so we left them behind. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he gave a thumbs up: "Two good brothers!" There are many people in this world who shoot flowers (use drugs or other means to abduct children) to do some things that insult their ancestors, and the two old brothers can bring them to the Great Song Dynasty completely, that is, the merit is immeasurable, and the afterlife must be two blessed people! ”

"yes!" An old beggar smiled and said, "When we passed through Zhongjing, someone told us that we could flee to the Great Song Dynasty, where there was a government government that specially took in lonely old people and unaccompanied children, and we were relieved at that time!" ”

"That's right......"

The shopkeeper was about to answer, when a young man in his twenties suddenly interjected and asked, among the only four remaining drinkers in the shop:

"Why did the Song Kingdom accept lonely old people and unaccompanied children? Are you not afraid that they will do anything that is unconscionable? ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The guest officer doesn't know, the Great Song Dynasty government now adopts the lonely and widowed old man to support the elderly and send them to the end of the year, and they don't want to do anything, they are all ordered by the current official family, his old man is a Bodhisattva in the world, and he can't see anyone starving to death on the side of the road and exposing corpses in the wilderness." As for adopting a child, it is not to do anything unseemly, but to practice literature and martial arts, after reaching the age of sixteen, whether it is in the army, business, or official, but according to his wishes, as long as he does not betray the Great Song Dynasty in the future! The current Da Song is much, much stronger than a year ago! ”

The young man said again: "According to what the shopkeeper said, this Song Dynasty is not bad?" ”

"Not bad! That's great! The corrupt officials and corrupt officials have all been killed, and no one has done evil anymore! ”

"But I think the shopkeeper and the two old men are even better people! There are people like you in this world, there are many more people, and there is also a lot of fun for people to live! ”

"This guest officer is really good at laughing!" The old shopkeeper smiled, "Seeing that you are only in your early twenties, how can you say such old-fashioned words?" In this world, there is a lot of suffering, but there is more fun, but the suffering is to take the initiative to find you, but the fun has to find it yourself! ”

The young man was silent for a long time, and hugged his fist to the old shopkeeper: "The seniors advise, and the juniors remember it!" Well...... The younger generation has a reluctant request! ”

"What's the matter with the guest officer, but it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Who else is in the old shopkeeper's house?"

The shopkeeper pointed to the three old and young men in the house, "These two are my cousins and younger siblings, and the little girl is their youngest daughter, and there are only three of them left in their family; As for the old man, my son died in the war, my daughter married into the Great Song Dynasty, and my wife also died three years ago, and now I am the only one left here! ”

The young man said: "I see that there are a lot of people going south here, how many people can the old shopkeeper help with this small shop alone?" Why don't I give the old shopkeeper a hundred taels of silver, and the old shopkeeper will sell this shop to me, and I will build a few more, so that I can help more people and add some fun to my boring life! ”

The old shopkeeper's face froze: "Don't laugh at the guest officer, how can this small shop be worth a hundred taels of silver......

"That's it!" The young man took out five ingots of silver, all of which were twenty taels of size, and put them on the table.

"The old shopkeeper listened to my kind words and persuaded me, now that the war is in chaos, you three old and a small one are very unsafe here! Follow the five of them south, and open another hotel in Dasong in the future, or go to Tokyo, or go to your daughter! Leave this little shop to me! ”

The old shopkeeper and the others were stunned, they didn't know whether what the young man said was true or false, and their consciousness didn't understand the true intention of the young man; But now that this young man has a hundred taels of silver here, he can't fake it.

One hundred taels of silver, you can buy three hotels like this.

"Take it! If you think it's too much, just think that the younger generation is using real money to buy the old shopkeeper's words: In this world, there is a lot of suffering, but there is more fun, but the suffering is to take the initiative to find you, but the fun has to find it yourself! The younger generation didn't dare to remember a word! ”

"This ......"

"Go ahead! Pack up all the valuable things and take them with you, and bring some dry food to eat on the road, and the nine of you can be each other's company! As for this little shop and its contents, leave it to us! ”
