The old man rummaged through the medicinal herbs and said, "I don't have much left, you can take it first, but I don't have kelp, loquat leaves, and fritillary mothers, so you have to go to the outer city to find them." ”

"Thank you, sir."

Song Yin asked again: "But if you don't collect money, how will you live?" ”

"When the guest said this, he underestimated the people of my hundred guarded cities."

The old man was a little proud: "We people who guard the city don't care about gains and losses, we are all kind to others, and we do good deeds to increase merit, what kind of money do we collect." ”

Song Yin nodded thoughtfully, thanked him, and was about to walk out.

"Eh, your medicinal herbs!" The old man shouted from behind.

"Thank you for your kindness, I'll pick it up when I come back."

After Song Yin finished speaking, he ignored the old man and went straight out of the medicine shop.

"Senior brother, these medicines don't cost money, why don't you use them?" Zhang Feixuan was puzzled.

"There is no merit, this place lives and works in peace and contentment, and we have no shelter to help them, and it is not good to take other people's things for no reason."

Song Yin shook his head and looked to the west: "Let's have a meal first, and then go to visit Master Napude." ”

So saying, he continued on his way.

The main street is obviously the main road, and there are many shops, and after walking for a while, they saw a restaurant.

"Senior brother, let's be here." Zhang Feixuan pointed to the well-decorated restaurant and said.

Song Yin shook his head: "You don't have a lot of money in your hand, and this kind of place costs a lot, so save a little."

"Senior brother is thoughtful." Zhang Feixuan had no choice but to give it up.

Although it is the border city of Nanping country, this place has a large population, and it is the time of meal, the main street is full of people, pulling carts, eating, and selling everywhere, which is very lively.

After waiting for the main street, it was a little colder, and Song Yin saw a restaurant at this time, so he walked over.

The restaurant is very small, and the decoration inside is also simple, there are only a few tables, but the guests inside are also full, and there is just one table of guests who have finished eating, patting their bellies and walking out, leaving an empty seat.

"Three guest officers, what are you eating?"

A middle-aged woman inside saw the three people at the door and approached with a kind smile, but her face was a little emaciated, looking slightly malnourished, and her wide clothes were worn on her, loose and sloppy, and they didn't fit well.

"Tired, just serve some ordinary food." Song Yin smiled and walked in.

"Please sit down, and the food will come up in a moment."

The middle-aged woman quickly cleaned up the dishes on the table just now, wiped the table with a rag, and let the three of them sit down.

Between wiping, a guest at the table next to him suddenly said: "Boss, your dish is getting worse and worse, the clear soup is less watery, when will you get some good goods, if you don't get something, I won't come to you next time to eat." ”

"Yes, this is getting worse and worse, if you do this, I won't come."

"Yes, yes, we'll pay attention next time." The woman nodded and hurried into the back.

In a short time, the woman came up with a plate and served a few dishes.

These dishes are very ordinary meals, two plates of wild vegetables fried in oil, one plate that seems to be something in the water, and three bowls of brown rice.

Seeing this thing, Zhang Feixuan and Wang Qizheng were a little unhappy.

I used to be bitter in the mountains, but there was nothing to eat around, so that's all.

But when they came to the human world, they could still eat these things as qi refiners?

But the senior brother didn't seem to care, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and started drying, seeing him eating, the two of them couldn't say anything, so they could only learn from him to start eating.

"Boss, let's go!"

At this time, another table of guests finished eating, wiped their mouths, patted their bellies, and stood up to leave.

"Don't say hello, go slowly, be sure to come over next time."

With a smile, the proprietress watched the guests leave, as if expecting something to look at the table, and when she found it empty, she sighed, pulled the rag from her waist, and began to clean the table.

One after another, the other tables of guests also wiped their mouths after eating, said hello and left.

In the restaurant, only the three of them were left to eat here.

"Goo-"

Song Yin's ears moved, and he looked towards the proprietress, but he noticed something again, and looked back again.

I saw that at the corner of the counter, a little girl's figure was mostly hidden in the counter, only poking her head out, looking at Song Yin eating, and drooling.

Her face was also very thin, no different from the face of the proprietress who was malnourished.

Song Yin grabbed a chopstick of wild vegetables, waved it towards the little girl, and asked, "Little girl, do you want to eat?" ”

The little girl nodded quickly, but shook her head again.

"Come"

Song Yin beckoned to her.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she emerged from the counter, revealing her extremely thin body under the baggy clothes.

The body was like skin and bones, which made Song Yin think of the little girl who was incarnated as a 'funeral' when she was in the armor gate.

The little girl trotted close to Song Yin, she didn't seem to run steadily, and she fell down, Song Yin's eyes were quick, and she stretched out one hand to help the little girl up.

As soon as the girl's body was stable, she couldn't wait to open her mouth and bite into the fried wild vegetables.

"Can't eat it!"

But at this moment, a loud shout sounded.

I saw the proprietress scream, ran quickly, snatched the child, and shouted: "Who let you eat, this can't be eaten!" ”

As she spoke, she quickly turned around and smiled apologetically at Song Yin: "This is a little girl, you eat yours, don't worry about her." ”

Song Yin frowned, looked at the mother and son who were obviously thin, and said, "You guys are also ready to eat, be busy, don't starve the children." It's a food shop, why is the child so thin. ”

At this time, the little girl looked up weakly and said to her mother: "I haven't eaten for two days, mother, I'm really hungry"

Two days?!

Song Yin's pupils shrank, and before he could react, he saw the proprietress gritting her teeth, suddenly knelt down, and said, "Uncle, it's good, I see that you are dressed luxuriously, not like ordinary people, can you give some money at this table." ”

"What money do you want!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the curtain behind her was opened, and I saw an equally thin man staggering out, dragging the mother and daughter away, and said angrily to them with red eyes:

"What money do you want at this time, this is a merit meal, they have paid, what do we use to accumulate merit!"

"Her father, the child is so hungry that she can't hold on!" The woman cried, "Just take it away, we haven't eaten for two days, you see you are walking and floating." ”

"Just bear with it a little longer, just bear with it!"

The man gritted his teeth at them, then turned around and nodded to Song Yin and them: "Uncle, don't care about them, we don't charge money, we are a merit meal, especially to fill people's stomachs." ”

The woman stood up suddenly, her eyes were red, and she pointed to what the man was about to say, but suddenly she thought of something, looked at her daughter in her arms, lowered her head, and said no more.

"It's not."

Wang Qizheng was a little overwhelmed at this time, raised his eyebrows and said to them: "You don't need money to eat here, do you?" You can't live like this without money, and those who don't have merit are starved like this, and they don't give a bite to eat, so what merit is there. ”

Sorry for being late.
