Although the environment of the restaurant is a little simple, there are probably no customers in itself, so naturally there is no need to invite someone to be a buddy, and the boss naturally acts as a runner.

In normal times, people who are a little richer in such a store will definitely refuse to come in, but there is no way, who can't let the stomach stand it.

The four of Luobei sat at a square table and asked for four bowls of noodles, the largest one.

In fact, in most places in the north, whether it is outside or at home, eating also bears the epitome of the bold character of northerners.

Compared with Yanyu Jiangnan, although the dishes lack some small and exquisite delicacy, the amount of this meal is enough to make southerners jaw-dropping.

Soon, the boiled noodles were served bowl by bowl, I dare not say how good, but for four hungry people, it is already a rare thing.

When the four bowls of hot noodles were served, Yu'er and Yunniang were instantly dumbfounded, because the bowl was too big, and the big one was like a basin.

Luo Bei and Kill were not too strange, but Yun Niang's eyes widened, because although they had also suffered a lot, they had only seen this kind of food in their lives.

I'm so hungry that no one has the heart to worry about it so much.

Killing is naturally the first to start using chopsticks.

After a storm, the last four people drank all the soup, and the boss leaned on the table not far from them, smiling and watching the four of them eat happily.

He held a dry cigarette in his hand, but did not take another puff, probably for fear that the guests would dislike him.

"A few of them objectively looked like they had escaped from the north, right?" he asked casually, as he cleared his throat and looked at the four of them eating like hungry wolves, and their faces were covered with dust.

It can be seen that this boss is a talker, otherwise he would not have come over to talk to the guests.

Luo Bei nodded after putting down his chopsticks, looked at the boss standing in front of him, and then said, "We came here from the north, I don't know how the boss saw it?"

The boss smiled, knowing that what he asked was probably a bit abrupt, so he quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, the villain doesn't mean anything special when he says this, it's just that in this town, except for a few merchants from time to time, only the official family passes the most fast horses......"

"I haven't seen a few guests like this in a hurry!"

She also finished eating the noodles and asked, "When we came in, we saw that the town was not small, but why were the houses closed, and the thatched houses were not repaired, and there were no fireworks at noon, is it ......?"

The boss hurriedly waved his hand and continued: "You don't know about this, although our town is not big, there were tens of thousands of people living in the past, but unfortunately, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom fought for many years, and the people in the town were either captured or died and fled, and the last group of people left a few days ago, tens of thousands of people, and now there are less than ten people left."

"Then boss, why do you want to stay?" Luo Bei also asked.

The boss let out a long sigh, his eyes dimmed instantly, and he said after a while: "My family has died, and I am left with half of the earth, so what can I escape, just stay and run such a small stall and make a living!"

"The world is difficult, but that's it!" Luo Bei couldn't help but think of the matter of selling his sons and daughters on the way to the Lotus Temple with Killing, and sighed.

The topic became heavier and heavier, so everyone remained silent, unwilling to continue the topic, because the general trend is like this, no one can change it, whether it is sympathy or empathy, the road is there, and it is there whether it is there or not.

"Boss, I don't know where our town is further south, and how can we go safer?" asked again.

Although the boss was a little sad just now, he got used to it after a long time, so he rubbed his cheeks and said: "The road to the south is easy to find, that is, the road that passes through the middle of the town is the official road, and the town is thirty miles south is Zhuxian Town......"

He hesitated a little, but still said: "But no one can say for sure whether it is safe or not, now I am afraid that even Lin'an City, where the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty lived, does not dare to guarantee it, let alone those places that have suffered from wars and chaos many times!"

The boss's words seemed to have some resentment towards the Great Song Dynasty, and Luo Bei understood that this was probably because the Great Song Dynasty had lost most of the land in the north because of the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty in more than ten years, and the large and small wars with the Jin State, which was also an important factor that led to the displacement of the people and the lack of livelihood.

Yu'er probably wanted to say something, but at this time, Kill, who had not spoken, spoke, he first smiled, and then said: "Boss, I don't know if you have any dry food here that you can bring to eat on the road, preferably roast chicken or something!"

When the boss heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, then laughed a few times and said, "There is no roast chicken, there is still some dry food, I don't know if the little master wants to bring two roast chickens to eat on the road?"

Knowing that the boss was making fun of himself, Kill Sheng blinked, pointed at the three of Luobei and said, "How could the little monk be, I think they must think so, just say it for them!"

When everyone laughed at the sight of being killed, the haze brought by the heavy topic suddenly dissipated.

The boss packed a lot of dry food for them, Yun Niang took out two ingots of silver from her arms, both of which were one tael, and it was more than enough to pay for this meal, and the boss was naturally grateful for the generosity of Dade.

Just as the boss had just sent them out of the store, they heard a noise not far away.

The boss was sharp-eyed, but he just looked at it slightly, and was immediately shocked, and said in a panic: "I think a few people should hurry into the store to avoid it, I'm afraid that there is another murderous demon king in front of me!"

Luo Bei raised his eyes and saw that at the end of the avenue in front of him, there was a mighty procession marching into the town, slowly coming towards them.

He frowned and asked, "Boss, do you know who those people are?"

......

The procession numbered in the thousands, many of them men and women in prison uniforms, and men and women were chained with ropes and followed closely in front and back, flanked by soldiers in armor on horses.

These soldiers were holding swords in their hands, and their figures were extremely powerful, and they did not look like the Central Plains, but more like the thick and powerful nomads of the north.

The sound of horses' hooves mingled with the coarse and incomprehensible scolding, and those who had suffered had no intention of resisting, and looked humiliated.

"Hey, let's hide in quickly, these are the teams of the Dajin Kingdom escorting the prisoners, I am afraid that there are as many as two or three thousand people in this wave, pitiful, pitiful!" The boss couldn't help but sigh, and at the same time urged Luo Bei and the others to enter the store quickly, so as not to be implicated.

The shouting and scolding has not stopped, getting closer and closer, these people are not speaking the Central Plains language, probably also scolding is boring, so they used stiff Chinese, and once again humiliated loudly, foul language is naturally indispensable.

After a round of beating, the soldiers burst into laughter.

The young man looked at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but clench his fists, his eyes were deep, and his expression was heavy.

Luo Bei pulled his

sleeves, and said softly: "Let's hide first, let's see the situation!"

Yu'er naturally saw that there were more than 100 soldiers in this group of escort prisoners, and all of them were tall and tall, most of them had fought on the battlefield, and even if they wanted to save people, they might not be able to do enough.

Several people retreated to the store, and the owner quickly closed the door panel, and then looked out through the crack in the door.

At this time, thousands of captives slowly came closer, and the sound of beating and scolding never stopped.

A vicious man on a horse, with a square face and a beard like a steel wire, his face was full of oil, and his eyes kept looking at several young women among the captives, and his eyes showed a lewd light.

The two sergeants next to him saw him and said something loudly in Jurchen, followed by a burst of "haha" laughter.

The vicious man frowned slightly, a little unconvinced.

A few people chattered for a while, but instead of looking at the female prisoners in the team, they laughed again, as if they were betting on the female prisoners.

As soon as the big man shook the whip in his hand, the war horse was urged to run forward a few steps, he swept his eyes, and saw that a woman in the team looked quite delicate, so he came to the woman's side with the reins of the horse, only to see his body leaning slightly, and his thick body turned sideways, and his movements were clean and neat.

He suddenly squeezed the woman's face with his big hand, and the woman was startled, and how could she be willing to suffer such an insult, and her eyes were suddenly full of anger, and she was about to burst into flames.

The man originally just wanted to flirt with him, so as not to lose face in front of his companions, but he knew that the woman looked at him like this, and there was a little anger in his heart, but it was more of a play.

In the small shop, everyone watched the humiliation of the woman by the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, and they couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts.

The boss shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Hey, in the past few years, there have been too many facts like this, and I really responded to that sentence, life is thinner than paper!"

Luo Bei frowned and asked, "These people seem to be from the Central Plains, where are Jin Bing going to escort them?"

"Naturally, they are taken to places like Wuguo City in the north, and it is said that they are all slaves of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, not to mention that the men are all coolies, and the women are probably even more miserable......"

He didn't say what kind of miserable method it was, but everyone could naturally imagine that once these women arrived in a foreign land, they might be considered a gift from heaven to have a happy death.

"But those golden soldiers are only about a hundred or so people, and the captives in the Central Plains are two or three thousand, don't they know how to resist?" Luo Bei couldn't help but say coldly as he looked at the extremely humiliating scene outside.

At this time, Yun Niang, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Because they are afraid of ......"

"In the hands of these people, the more you resist them, the more excited they will become, they never treat women as human beings......"

Although Yun Niang's voice was still calm, her eyes were full of fear when she looked outside, and Luo Bei was also afraid in her eyes when she first saw her under the pontoon bridge of the Lotus Temple.

finally escaped from under the Demon Suppression Tower, but the vigilance she gradually let down hit her heart again the moment the golden soldiers and the three thousand prisoners appeared.

Beside her, she also seemed to sense her fear, and stretched out her not thick arm to support her.

Yun Niang's body trembled slightly, and when she looked at the young man, she smiled faintly with tears.

Now Luo Bei realized that he had never understood where Yun Niang's fear came from, and now it seems that it may also be related to these golden people.
