After entering the city, Yun Yi hugged Wan'er and found a noodle stall.

I didn't care about the boss's price increase reminder either.

After asking for two large bowls of clear soup noodles, he beckoned Wan'er to sit down at the small wooden table.

Because Yunyi and Shen Youwei have a lot of patches on their clothes, Wan'er's father and daughter are dressed like beggars.

So although the owner of the noodle stall didn't say anything to drive people away, he didn't cook noodles for them.

After Yun Yi sat down, he glanced back, and the stall owner was still looking at him, and he couldn't help but be puzzled.

However, Shen Youwei next to her could see it clearly, and knew that the noodle stall owner was worried that they would not be able to pay.

So he took out his purse and paid the face money to the boss first.

The noodle stall owner collected the copper coin, and then he began to cook the noodles happily.

After a while, two large bowls of steaming clear noodle soup were served.

Yun Yi first carefully put a bowl of clear soup noodles in front of Wan'er, and then pointed to another bowl and said to the man:

"What are you doing in a daze?"

"Hurry up and eat it while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good after a while."

Hearing Yun Yi say this, the man was surprised at first.

After reacting, he hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"Youwei and I both went out after breakfast, and if you don't eat it, this bowl of noodles will be wasted."

When the man heard this, his throat moved unconsciously, but he still refused:

"I'm already very grateful for you to give Wan'er food."

"Now that the price of food is soaring, this bowl of noodles is still for you and your mother!"

Seeing Wan'er drooling at the clear soup noodles, but refusing to move the chopsticks, Yunyi couldn't help but be annoyed.

"If you want to eat, you will eat, how can there be so much nonsense?"

"If you don't eat it, I'm afraid Wan'er won't be at ease eating!"

Yun Yi said, gently rubbing the little girl's head, and motioned for her to eat quickly.

Although this little girl is not very old, she is sensible and distressing.

When the man heard this, he rubbed the corners of his clothes and snorted for a while, and finally sat down in front of the noodle stall with an embarrassed face.

Seeing that her father picked up the chopsticks, a smile finally bloomed on Wan'er's pale little face.

Without Shen Youwei's help, she picked up the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.

However, the little girl only took two bites, and then reluctantly put down the chopsticks.

Then, like a child who had made a mistake, he whispered:

"Big brother, Wan'er...... Wan'er can't eat it, can this bowl of noodles be eaten by Daddy for Wan'er? ”

Hearing Wan'er say this, Shen Youwei thought that this was not the same as the little girl's appetite.

As soon as I wanted to ask, I heard the little girl continue to explain:

"Wan'er has been sick for the past two days, and Wan'er has eaten all the porridge that Daddy has received."

"Since Wan'er woke up, I haven't seen Daddy eat a bite of anything."

"Wan'er has no Auntie, and she can't be without Daddy anymore."

"Uh......h Woo...... Woo......"

As she spoke, the little girl began to weep.

When Shen Youwei heard this, she couldn't help but look to the side in surprise, but saw that the man was secretly wiping tears at this time.

Seeing this, Shen Youwei's nose was sour, and her tears began to fall again.

Looking at the little girl who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, Yun Yi couldn't help but feel pity in her heart.

He didn't say much, and directly asked the noodle stall owner to make another bowl.

When the man heard this, he wanted to refuse.

But when he saw Yun Yi's fierce eyes, he had to bury his head in the bowl in shame.

Seeing that the owner of the noodle stall brought another bowl of noodles, Wan'er gradually stopped crying.

She first thanked Yun Yi gratefully, and then she took a big bite of noodles with peace of mind.

The little one doesn't know how long it has been since he had a full meal.

Not only did he eat all the noodles in the bowl, but he also had to pick up the bowl and drink all the soup.

Yun Yi was worried that eating too much at one time would hurt the child's stomach, so she had to ask Shen Youwei to persuade her to get up and move first.

A bowl of clear soup noodles was served, and the little girl's face was a lot ruddy.

Yun Yi glanced up at the sky, and beckoned Shen Youwei to take Wan'er and go out of the city.

When passing by the vendor selling sugar gourds, Yunyi stepped forward to buy one for both Wan'er and Shen Youwei.

This time, the man didn't say no again.

With a sugar gourd in their hands, Wan'er and Shen Youwei's mood improved a lot.

Seeing the two little girls, one big and one young, walking in front, Yun Yi deliberately took a few steps behind.

"If it's convenient, tell me your story!"

When the man heard this, he was silent for a moment, and then said weakly:

"My name is Zhao Laosan."

"I'm sorry, I'm a deserter!"

Yun Yi originally guessed that this guy might be from the army, so when he heard him say this at this time, there was not much surprise on his face.

After Zhao Laosan finished speaking, he lowered his head and fell silent.

He originally thought that Yun Yi would ask him about his identity.

But when he looked up at Yun Yi curiously, he found that Yun Yi was looking at Shen Youwei not far in front of him with a smile.

"Aren't you surprised at all?"

Seeing Yunyi's reaction like this, Zhao Laosan's face couldn't help but be full of doubts.

"The first time I met you, I had a rough guess of who you were."

"Everyone has their own secrets."

"If you don't want to say it, I won't force you."

Although Yunyi helped Zhao Laosan, he also moved his mind to take him under his command.

However, if Zhao Laosan is unwilling to be honest, Yunyi will not force him.

Because the Great Zhou Dynasty implemented the military household system.

The law stipulates that if there are men over the age of 17 in a military household, one person shall be conscripted into the army for two or three persons, two persons shall be selected for four persons, and three persons shall be recruited for six or more persons.

Therefore, unless they reached the age of sixty or died in battle, these soldiers were punished as deserters once they were discharged from the ranks.

If Zhao Laosan didn't take the initiative to explain these situations clearly, Yun Yi would definitely not dare to take him with him.

"It's not a secret, actually."

"I joined the army at the age of seventeen and worked hard in the army for nearly ten years before I was promoted to commander by virtue of military merits."

"Later, through the official match, I married Wan'er and her mother."

"I thought that with a wife and children, I would be able to live a stable life."

"But who knew that the good times didn't last long, when Wan'er was three years old, I offended the powerful people in Beijing because of the issue of food."

"Those people were worried that I would get things out, so they sent me to the border with a paper order."

"Due to the bitter cold at the border, I asked Wan'er and her mother to take Wan'er back to her hometown."

"Who knew that even when I got to the border, those people still didn't let me go."

"Every time the Tartars are detained, I will be sent to the front line."

"Maybe it's because God sees me pitiful, although every time I face the enemy, I will inevitably suffer some small injuries."

"But fortunately, after dozens of battles, large and small, I survived tenaciously."

"I thought that with my military merits, there would always be a day when I was transferred out of the border army."

"But who knew that last winter, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and a large number of Tartar cattle and sheep were frozen to death in the grassland."

"Seeing that there was no hope for survival, the Tartars, who had lost their cattle and sheep, braved the heavy snow and sent out cavalry to start knocking frantically."

"The team of 1,000 people I led fought with the Tartars outside the city for dozens of days, until the food and grass ran out, and then they were ready to retreat to the gate."

"But this time, my luck seems to have run out."

"On the way to retreat, my team and I encountered dozens of sieges by the Tartars."

"Ten miles closer to the city wall, my team has less than a hundred people left."

"When I sent Scout Horse to the city to ask for help, I was told that the city was changing its defenses, and there was no time to take care of us."

"There were no accidents in that war, and when we rushed five miles from the city wall, I was the only one left in the whole procession and one horse."

"I thought I was completely dead, so I rushed to the group of Tartars with the determination to die."

"It didn't come as a surprise, I had only been fighting the leader of the Tartar for a few rounds before he slashed me in the face with a sword."
