After the two sisters checked inside and out, it was already afternoon, and He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao were tired and thirsty and collapsed on the bench, staring at each other with big eyes.

"Sister, I'm so hungry. ”

"I'm so hungry too. ”

Both of them were a little weak, He Jingjing supported her body, took some money from her purse and bought two bowls of wontons from the stall opposite.

"Uncle, how is the business lately?" asked He Jingjing intentionally or unintentionally while the stall owner was cooking wontons.

"Alas, the business is okay, but the stall is too tiring. After a while, maybe the mercenary will come and collect the money, and he will not make much money in the end by selling wontons. ”

Mercenaries?He Jingjing felt that these three words were a little unfamiliar, and I hadn't heard of any mercenaries in the Longyuan Mountains not long ago?

"Uncle, what is this mercenary?" He Jingjing continued to ask curiously.

"Isn't there a war recently? The battlefield is not far from the Longyuan Mountain Range. But this is the only way to go to a neighboring country, and the caravan doesn't want to have an accident, so they pay for thugs to escort them. Now these thugs have formed their own organizations, and after forming a scale, everyone calls them mercenaries. ”

He Jingjing knew in his heart, this mercenary is a new profession born out of the war! If he wants to continue to open a shop in the Longyuan Mountain Range, he must have a relationship with these mercenaries.

"Your wontons are ready. With a smiling face, the uncle handed He Jingjing two bowls of wontons.

When he came out, He Jingjing brought the bowl by herself, so after it was beaten, He Jingjing could go back and eat it directly. After leaving a tael of silver, she walked slowly back to the Lotus Leaf Building.

"Oh, I haven't asked you for any money yet!"

"No need!"

The uncle's heart blossomed, and today two bowls of wontons were sold for one or two silver, which he couldn't earn for two months! I really hope that such a generous young lady can come more.

"Xiaoxiao, it's time to eat!"

He Jingjing kicked open the door with his foot and shouted, He Xiaoxiao immediately jumped up from his position, walked forward quickly and took the wonton in He Jingjing's hand.

"This wonton is so fragrant! I can't imagine that there is such a delicacy here!" He Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and handed the spoon he had already washed to He Jingjing.

"If it doesn't smell good, people won't come to eat it. The competition for these food stalls is fierce, so the delicacy often comes from the streets. He Jingjing scooped a spoonful of soup and instantly felt that she was saved.

"But it's not as delicious as the eldest sister's cooking!"

"Little clever ghost, you wash the dishes after eating!"

After eating the wontons, He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao slept comfortably, and woke up to find that it was already dark.

"It seems that we can't do anything today, let's post a notice tomorrow to recruit workers, and I still have to contact those mercenaries. He Jingjing sighed and said to He Xiaoxiao.

"Mercenary, what is that?" He Xiaoxiao asked his eldest sister through the candle.

He Jingjing told He Xiaoxiao about the rumors she heard on the street today, and He Xiaoxiao looked sad: "Sister, will they kill people like hemp?" I'm a little scared. ”

He Jingjing actually didn't have a bottom in her heart, but since she had already come to the Longyuan Mountain Range, there was absolutely no reason to go back. Besides, when did she He Jingjing admit defeat?

"I don't know, but I guess it's reasonable, right?"

The two sisters simply went to the street to buy a few steamed buns, even if they had dinner, He Jingjing wrote the notice that would be posted the next day with a kerosene lamp.

"Knock knock!"

He Jingjing was still asleep, and he faintly heard a knock on the door downstairs, and the force was very strong, as if he was going to open the entire lotus leaf building in the next second.

"Who is this early in the morning?" At this moment she was very irritable, and she got up a little angry, and after dressing up, she came down from the stairs, and shouted as she walked: "Come, come, who?"

As soon as the door was opened, seven men with five big and three thick were standing at the door, looking at He Jingjing directly, with a malicious smile on their faces. He Jingjing's heart sank, opened the door wider, and the whole person came to the street.

"I don't know how many big brothers are coming, what is the so-called matter?" He Jingjing's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, as if she was not frightened by these ugly-looking strong men.

"I heard that someone ate two bowls of wontons for a tael of silver yesterday, and a few of us brothers were curious, where did the rich man come from to be so rich. I didn't expect it to be a delicate beauty!"

After saying this, these ugly strong men laughed, and He Jingjing felt very uncomfortable.

"Whoever can eat two bowls of wontons for one tael of silver must be a rich man. I don't know who this rich man is?" He Jingjing pretended not to understand anything, and asked curiously.

Seeing He Jingjing pretending to be stupid, those people looked unhappy, and the leader came directly to He Jingjing and said, "We have all inquired clearly, it is you, don't pretend to be garlic with Lao Tzu here." Give me all the amount you have on you, otherwise, hehe, you will use your own body to pay it back!"

He Jingjing frowned, these splashes are too unreasonable!

Looking around, the people on the street actually looked like they were watching a good show, hanging high, and it was none of their business.

How can I get out of danger today? How can I still be Xiaoxiao in the Lotus Leaf Building, and how can I keep her from being implicated in the disaster caused by her kind heart for a while?

"Eldest sister, what's going on?"

really wanted to come to something, He Xiaoxiao actually pushed the door out directly.

"Why did you come out!" He Jingjing hurriedly pushed He Xiaoxiao in, but it was too late.

"I didn't expect that there was a pair of sisters living here. No one has come to this lotus leaf building for a while, presumably there is no man in your family, it is better for both of you to join our brothers, and the brothers of the Longyuan Mountains will cover you in the future!"

The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, He Jingjing looked at these people with eyes as if he could kill.

"Brothers, let's talk about what you have to say. After all, the Longyuan Mountain Range is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so please think about it when you talk and do things. He Jingjing's words were polite, and those strong men felt very harsh when they heard it.

"I can't imagine that you are such a little girl, and you speak so harshly? Okay, Uncle will correct you on the spot today, look how crazy you are!"

Several people surrounded He Jingjing and He Xiaoxiao, approaching step by step, with hideous faces, and their hands raised ready to go, as if He Jingjing would be caught in the next second.

If this is caught, it must be more than lucky!

At the last moment, He Jingjing took out something from his arms and sprayed it into the eyes of these wicked people, and those strong men who were still menacing just now fell to the ground one by one and covered their eyes and shed tears.
