Chapter 404: People Can't Get Enough
Such fields do not appear once or twice.
Yan Saburo also understood that it was not easy for farmers to survive, and not long after he left Suo Luo City, he saw the Kurata officials of the Wei Kingdom enter the house to collect money. When the civilians could not pay it, they went from house to house. A whole bag of rice was found in a farmer's house, and as soon as the soldiers pulled it up, Tian Weng, who had white hair, hugged his thighs and begged, but was kicked to the heart and couldn't breathe for a long time.
At that time, Qu Yunhe was standing on the hillside watching this scene, then sighed and patted Yan Saburo on the shoulder: "Let's go." ”
Even if the soldiers who steal the grain are driven away, they will come again tomorrow, and they will be even more violent.
Even Tsubazaburo and Chitose are powerless.
When Qu Yunhe was eating Yuanzi, the store curtain was lifted, and another guest came.
It was a mother and daughter, and the child was about seven or eight years old.
Qu Yunhe and Yan Saburo looked up, the other party looked over, nodded to them, and the two of them smiled back.
This is also a guest who has been with the convoy for two days, and it is considered a companion in the same company, but it is only a nodding acquaintance.
The mother and daughter sat down at the table next to them, and the young mother also asked for a bowl of Yuanzi Ying'er and a bean rice. The little girl obediently cooked the rice by herself, but her dark eyes looked at Yan Saburo.
Strictly speaking, she was looking at the cat next to Yan Saburo. This cat is so beautiful and clean.
Entering the warm store, the white cat jumped out of the bookcase and stretched its limbs. After a morning of suffocation, she also needed to breathe.
Yan Saburo had approached the store before, asking him to take a bag of things to the back kitchen to heat. Of course, this comes at an additional cost.
Now the store will bring out a bowl of cooked chicken to Yan Saburo. The latter is also not afraid of being hot, tearing large pieces of chicken into small strips and letting them dry for a while before giving them to the white cat.
"Cats eat again!" the little girl said curiously.
Her voice was crisp, and everyone could understand that she meant "meat" by "again". In this shop, it's not humans who can eat meat.
Just as her mother fed her a mouthful of Yuanzi, the little girl chewed and swallowed it, and then asked, "Why don't you feed the cat Yuanzi?"
Yan Saburo made a move: "She is different from people, she can't eat glutinous rice, otherwise she will have a bad stomach." ”
Before the little girl could speak, there were already guests on the side who sneered: "People can't eat enough, and you still care about the cat's bad stomach." ”
The man had a slender face and wore a ratskin hat.
The white cat ignored him and ate happily. Yan Saburo's expression remained unchanged: "I can't control others, I can only take care of my own cat." ”
The man said to his companion, "Such a fat cat has been eaten by us a long time ago. ”
The companion smiled: "Isn't it?" As soon as the words fell, he saw the white cat suddenly turn his head to stare at the two of them, his eyes cold and strange.
He snorted: "This cat is evil, and the color of the two eyes is not the same." ”
The white cat stared at the two people, and Ren Yan Saburo smoothed it and didn't move.
"Leave them alone. "The teenager never paid attention to such unnutritious provocations. He asked in a low voice, "Honestly, you seem to have been eating a lot lately?"
The cat turned her head and meowed at him.
Yan Saburo smiled and turned to eat his own yuan and potstickers.
Except for him, no one understands Chitose's reply to him:
"You want to care?"
But Yan Saburo clearly remembers that the cat's original meal was that every meal of more than half a chicken breast could be eaten to the full, and now it has risen to two large pieces of chicken at each meal, which is about three times the amount of food.
But she was not fat, and she did not gain weight.
Where did the amount of food go?
What tricks is Chitose doing behind his back?
Yan Saburo was groaning, and there was a sudden commotion outside. Some people screamed, some shouted, and he and Qu Yunhe could still hear the chaotic and heavy footsteps.
The past two days have been relatively calm on the mountain road. Now that they have arrived in the town, why is it so turbulent?Yan Saburo immediately put the white cat in the bookcase.
The faces of the mother and daughter at the next table also changed, and the little girl instinctively felt uneasy and leaned into her mother's arms.
The shopkeeper ran out to see what was going on, and then there was no movement, and he didn't come back for a long time.
He ran away on his own.
The customers in the store were even more uneasy.
The noise outside increased, and footsteps came to this place. The guests on the side were sitting on pins and needles, Qu Yunhe and Yan Saburo looked at each other and did not move.
Qu Yunhe took a yuan and said in a low voice: "This place is only a hundred zhang away from the city gate. If something is wrong, kill people and take away horses. ”
Yan Saburo nodded.
It's just a matter of how many people want to force their way through.
As soon as the words fell, the curtain was lifted, and three or four men outside squeezed in with the cold air, their eyes scanning back and forth over everyone, and they asked, "Are locals or outsiders?"
Before Yan Saburo could reply, Fang Cai laughed at his guests and answered: "We are from this town, and these two tables are outsiders." ”
In a word, the two sides are separated.
Those men looked at what they were wearing, and they didn't look like rich people, and there were several patches on their jackets, which were like Yan Saburo and the mother and daughter, who were cleanly dressed and made good materials.
"Outsiders?" one of them knocked on Yan Saburo's table, "stand up and come with us." ”
Qu Yunhe asked him, "Where are you going?"
"Go, it's not your turn to ask. The few men he brought with him scattered and stood around them, the threat self-evident.
Yan Saburo stood up and said to Qu Yunhe: "Let's go." "They're going out anyway.
The mother and daughter on the side were so frightened that their lips turned white, and the little girl wanted to cry or not, and there were already tears flashing in her big eyes. Yan Saburo walked past her, took out a piece of dragon whisker cake from his arms, opened the wrapping paper and handed it to her: "Don't cry, this is for you to eat." ”
The girl had never seen such a candy as white as snow and as fine as silk, so she looked at it curiously and subconsciously stopped her tears. She took a little into her mouth.
"Delicious?"
The girl nodded, took another bite, and asked him in a milky voice, "Do you want the little brother too?"
Yan Saburo shook his head, and Chitose snorted coldly: "It's quite kind, isn't it?"
The four of them walked out of the store, only to find that there was a mess of porridge outside. The street was suddenly full of people, Yan Saburo's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that there were a large number of strong men among them who drove the crowd to the center of the street, and they all had a brown cloth sewn on their right chests.
Yan Saburo's gaze froze, Qu Yunhe touched his shoulder, and raised his chin towards the city gate.
The street is very straight, and you can see the city gate from the middle of the street.
When he cleared the customs, Yan Saburo remembered that there were about seven or eight town guards, but now the city gate was empty, but the open space in the middle of the street was full of people.
The Brown Turbans drove the crowd here. Yan Saburo saw at a glance that the team members were also among them, all of them were frightened and uneasy, and several of them were also colored. Two of them were badly wounded, covered in blood, lying on the ground with only their chests rising and falling.
