The old woman was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, when a group of people came on the road in the distance, some of them pushed wheelbarrows, some pulled ox carts, large bags and small bags, and dragged their families to the door of the tea shop.

"Boss, do you have anything to eat?"

The old man greeted him, "Please come in the guest officer, the small shop only has somen noodles!" ”

The group of people, old and young, were all dusty, and their eyes were still terrified, looking as if they were fleeing.

He didn't care about anything to eat, so he carried his luggage into the tea shop and quickly filled several tables.

Shutong finished eating and checking out the bill, ready to leave.

The old woman hurriedly stopped her, "Little girl, you wait, I see that these people are from the north, let me ask you if they are from Yunling?" ”

At this time, the group of people sitting down were already drinking herbal tea, and the old man asked, "Are the guest officers from Yunling?" ”

The leader was a tall and thin man, who sighed when he heard this, "Yes! We are from Gaojia Village, in order to avoid the war all the way to escape, I said that the boss quickly gave us the following, but I was starved! ”

The old woman added water to the pot, and said to Shutong: "Little girl! Do you hear me? They all escaped from Yunling, I don't think you should leave! ”

The tall man was surprised when he heard this: "Why are there still people who are not afraid of death at this time and want to go to Yunling?" ”

Shu Tong noticed that this person was a sloping foot, and pursed his lips and said, "Uncle, there is a war over there, but the troops led by King Zhao?" ”

The tall and thin man nodded, looked at his legs, and sighed: "Yes, it is the prince's team, and I was also injured before retreating!" ”

Shu Tong nodded when he got the answer, and pointed to the road they came from, "Uncle has been walking along this road all the way, can you get to Yunling?" ”

The tall and thin man nodded, and said in surprise: "Little girl, you don't really want to go, almost everyone in several villages over there has escaped, and our group is the slowest to go!" ”

The old woman also hurriedly said, "Little girl! Do you hear me? There are no one in the Zhuangzi over there, whether you are going to go to your relatives or what are you going to do? I can't find anyone! ”

Shu Tong waved his hand, "Thank you, old woman, the person I was looking for should still be over there!" ”

The tall and thin man said curiously: "Little girl, the fight over there in Yunling is not the same, how can you be sure that the person you are looking for is still there?" ”

"Look at your dress and don't look like a child of a poor family, the rich family has already run away, and we poor people are reluctant to carry our belongings, but now we really can't bear it, so we left our family business and came here!"

Others also echoed, and someone said, "Little girl, don't think we lied to you, my second brother has also been in the army for a few years, and he said that he couldn't stay there, and he was really going to fight us, so he escaped with the big guy, I advise you not to send him to death!" ”

While talking, the old woman's noodles were also out of the pot, and the old couple delivered noodles to the table one by one.

Shu Tong nodded at everyone, "Thank you for your kindness, I'll be fine!" ”

Then he turned and went out to untie the little donkey, mounted it, and walked away.

Seeing that she was bent on going her own way, everyone could only shake their heads secretly, and the old couple came back to their senses and found that Shutong was far away, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh.

But they all met in Pingshui, and I had already persuaded the little girl, but she couldn't help it if she didn't listen.

"I don't know whose daughter it is, this is too bold!"

The old woman sighed and went back to cooking the noodles.

waited until the group had finished eating, and then began to inquire about the news with the old couple and gossip.

"Old man, you're not far from Hejiazhuang, right?"

The old man nodded, "Follow this road down to Hejiazhuang for more than three miles, why do you inquire if there is anyone in Hejiazhuang?" ”

The tall and thin man nodded, "I have an aunt and cousin who lives in Hejiazhuang, and I plan to defect to him!" ”

The old man smiled bitterly for a while, "I advise you to choose another way out!" Hejiazhuang is almost gone! ”

"How?" The tall and thin man was shocked, "It's quite far away from Yunling here, why did the people here run away?" ”

The old man said with a bitter face, "I won't tell you anything, our old couple are from Hejiazhuang, and now in addition to the old, weak, sick and disabled, the young and strong have all been arrested and strong, I guess your cousin can't escape!" ”

The tall and thin man was stunned, his cousin had several brothers, before he was sent to military service, and his cousin had another brother in the family who went to serve in the army because of his frailty.

His family was thin, he was captured, and he survived the battlefield by luck, but he broke a leg.

I originally wanted to go to my cousin, but I didn't expect that now even my cousin has been arrested.

He was stunned, and the old man sighed again: "It's not just about catching strong men, but this year's taxes are also heavy, and the days can't be lived, and those who have a way to visit relatives and friends!" ”

The tall and thin man sighed in frustration, "It turns out that life is not easy here!" ”

The old man sighed, "My three sons in my family were all captured and died on the battlefield, and now even the only eldest grandson has not escaped, and the granddaughter-in-law can't take the child back to her parents' house!" ”

The old woman wiped her tears beside her, "I'm afraid that her mother's side will not be at peace!" ”

The tall and thin man looked dazed, and the others were also panicked, they fled one by one abandoning their homes and businesses, and they couldn't run without a place!

The old man sighed, "I said brother, you just retired from the battlefield, not that King Zhao's soldiers are strong and strong, how can you fight for several years and not end!" ”

The tall and thin man smiled bitterly, "Uncle, you can afford it too much, I am a big-headed soldier, and I survived by luck if I had a good life, as for the war, if you ask me, I don't understand!" ”

The old man just asked casually, and said with a wry smile: "The old man is seventy-three years old this year, his three sons all died on the battlefield, and the only grandson doesn't know if he can survive. ”

In a word, everyone present wiped their tears, everyone has a strong man who has been arrested, and the only one who can survive in the entire village is the second high, although he lost a leg, he still has a life!

A few people stumbled over on the road, and the old man wiped his tears, squinted his eyes, and found that the three people who came over were eating in the store just now.

"Guest officers, what's going on?"

The three of them all had a blue nose and swollen face, one of them had a soft arm hanging down, the other was dragging a leg, and the one who was dragged by them in the middle had a sallow face and did not know whether he was alive or dead.

"Hurry up and get a hand!"

Someone helped them into the store, "What's wrong with you?" Did you encounter a military disaster? ”

The one who folded his arm said with a bitter face: "We were beaten by the yellow-haired girl just now!" ”

"What?" The crowd exclaimed.

It took a long time for the three of them to recover, and they said something with a shy eyebrow.

But it turned out that these three people were used to stealing chickens and dogs, and just now they saw Shutong in the shop being generous and bullying her alone.

wanted to rob them, but the three of them were beaten up by the little girl!
