There are several hot soup shops similar to restaurants, which look steaming from a distance, and some have signs hanging at the door, which are not as neat as the road surface.

As we walked in, there were more and more people, and there were actually some small shops selling miscellaneous goods on both sides of the road.

Most of them have no signs, and they are covered with black pieces on the ground, not sure if they are animal skins or cloth things.

Put all kinds of gadgets on the surface and you can start shouting.

It is not rare, mainly some relatively ordinary cultivation resources, and none of them have reached the level of Shijie.

This is not important. Whether it is the rushing or the caravans doing business, no one expects to see the treasures of heaven and earth here.

However, commonly used items that are easy to lose, as well as dry food and herbs, seem to be very popular.

The sound of hawking and bargaining were intertwined, and the sound of horses sounded from time to time, making the entire nameless town extremely lively.

"The hot soup is here..." Yichen and Piaoran casually found a hot soup shop to sit down. Before they could think about what to eat, the waiter brought the hot broth.

"How do you know, we want to eat this?"

Looking at the dark piece in the soup bowl, there was a bone stuck in the middle, Piao Ran couldn't help but frown and was afraid to take off the chopsticks.

"It's the first time I've come here."

The waiter put a towel on his shoulder and answered with a smile while taking the tray away from the table.

Then he took out a small bottle from his arms, opened the lid, poured it gently against the two bowls of soup on the table, and a layer of yellow powdery substance appeared on the noodles of the soup bowl.

"Where did you see it?"

Seeing that the waiter was skillful in his movements, Piaoran seemed to be less disgusted with the hot soup in front of him.

Instead, there is a natural kindness.

Not long after I sat down, I didn't even say anything. Xiao Er could tell that it was his first time here and would definitely drink this bowl of soup.

"Everyone who often comes knows that there is a kind of hot soup in our nameless town, which is the black badger soup..."

The waiter grinned, revealing his snow-white and neat teeth.

Obviously, he had already answered the questions raised by Piao countless times.

"There is only one type, or...Black Badger Soup?"

Piao Ran suddenly realized that he thought the waiter was extremely smart, but it turned out that this was the case.

But the name Wu Yao sounds unpleasant, not to mention that it is black and black, and it cannot raise your appetite.

"Yes, there is no second species of poultry and livestock within a radius of a hundred miles, except for the horses of the guests."

Not too busy at this moment, the waiter patiently introduced it to Piaoran and Yichen.

The nameless small town is located in the south of Beiming Town. There were no shops in this area, but only caravans who were tired of walking and martial artists who participated in the training. They occasionally stopped to rest.

Merchants traveling far away will prepare in advance, and they will not need to supplement them in the nameless town with enough food and food.

However, more than ten years ago, a bandit group stared at the nameless town and suddenly rode their horses to come while the merchants stopped and relaxed their guard.

With the wind blowing away the clouds, the goods of merchants were stolen. In order to prevent merchants from being entangled, robbers often slaughtered and killed the rebel merchants.

Sometimes, the robbers forcibly take away all the dry food and snacks from the merchants, and leave without caring for mercy by the merchants.

In this way, the merchants who had all their belongings were not killed and would starve to death in the nameless town.

There was a time when the nameless town was a place of death. Merchants had to pass by, but they did not dare to pass by, for fear of being poisoned by the robbers.

"Then...how could a store be opened?" Piao Ran tilted his head, feeling deeply puzzled.

Since they were stared by the robbers and ransacked from time to time, it was not easy for merchants to survive, so they had no intention of opening a store to make money.

"The earliest shop was opened by those merchants who survived by chance..."

At the beginning, some merchants were unwilling to be starved to death, so they struggled to go out to find something to eat.

But when I searched this area, I could only see a very small number of black badgers, which were only one foot tall and weighed less than twenty kilograms.

Although the black badger looks ugly and is still dark even if it is cooked, the meat is rough and the soup is hard to swallow, but it can fill the hunger and keep the cold, and at least it can save your life.

Gradually, some merchants, considering that their capital and goods were robbed, it was difficult to explain when they went back.

So I had to stay for a while and survived with a bowl of hot soup.

When encountering people who have the same experience and are facing desperate situations, they will also give you a bowl of hot soup to save a life.

After a while, more and more people were left behind, and hot soup shops were formed.

"So that's the case, but aren't they afraid of being robbed by the robbers?"

Piaoran finally understood the origin of the hot soup shop, but new problems arose again.

"These people have nothing but a bowl of hot soup. The bandits are afraid of being avoided. Who would be willing to get entangled with them..."

For a long time, hot soup shops were provided for free, provided that they were only given to robbed merchants.

As it gradually developed, some merchants who had never encountered bandit groups also wanted to drink a bowl of hot soup to warm their bodies so as to resist the invasion of cold wind, ice and snow.

Therefore, there is a saying that hot soup shops charge fees, which is mostly just a symbolic charge, or the merchants themselves are willing to calculate as much as they are willing to pay, and there is no unified price.

With the joining of homeless merchants, there are more hot soup shops. Some are for doing good deeds, and some want to earn some money to go home.

The robbers didn't even look at this trivial money. They only robbed merchants who owned a large number of goods, but did not harasse the "boss" of the hot soup shop too much.

Not only that, since the hot soup shop, the robber group's "business" has become much easier.

Originally, when robbers, merchants fought with their lives, and had no way out and had to kill them.

Although the robber group is crowded, there will be casualties under the desperate resistance of merchants.

However, the existence of hot soup shops gives merchants a living space, but also makes merchants lose the courage and motivation to work hard.

In the case of minimizing casualties as much as possible, it was easier to succeed before, and the robbers found that this was a good deal.

From then on, the bandit group no longer had hostility to the bosses of the hot soup shop and even supported them.

"Haha, this is also considered coexistence...hehe!"

Yichen lowered his head and took a sip of Black Badger Soup, but was choked and tears flowed.

"I added hot spicy noodles here, which is good to keep warm, and it's very hydrated at the entrance."

When the waiter saw a guest coming in, he explained and then arranged for him to go.

"Piaoran, drink and look, it's very warm."

Although it was choking, after a sip of hot soup, the whole body was unobstructed, and the cold in the body was forced out by hot spicy noodles and the steaming black badger soup.

Yichen bit a piece of black badger meat. The meat was very thick and the color was embarrassing, but there was no odor. Dry food and other things were still delicious.

"Well, it's ugly, not bad, not bad."

When Yichen was halfway through eating, Piaoran started to take action.

I haven't eaten hot meals for several days, and even though I rely on my fire-attributed physique, I will not be hurt by the cold.

However, dry food is so painful that you can even vomit it in your throat. How can you feel like hot soup?

A bowl of hot black badger soup, in less than half a cup of tea, no drop left entered the belly.

Yichen and Piaoran felt that the heat in their bodies was coming, and they could recover their energy after a short rest.

One after another, several groups of guests entered the hot soup shop, sat around and chatted while waiting for the waiter to come.

"I just saw someone recruiting soldiers and the conditions are very attractive."

"No matter who he is, let's warm your body first..."

Several people chatted without saying a word, and did not urge the waiter to come over quickly.

"Waiter, hurry up, we are all going to freeze to death."

At this time, the curtain of the hot soup shop moved, and a black-faced man came in, with two followers behind him.

"Master Zhang wait, come here."

The waiter was serving the people in front of him, and was unable to pull away for the time being, so he quickly greeted the black-faced man.

"Okay... By the way, waiter, feed the horses outside, and you will have to pull them to the road later."

Mr. Zhang gave a careless order, then crossed his legs and waited for the arrival of hot soup with the two followers.

"Monster, isn't this a place where robbers appear? How could there be such an indifferent merchant?"

After drinking the black badger soup, Piaoran looked around and found the carriage in the courtyard.

Both carriages were full of goods, although they were covered up and could not see clearly what was inside.

But Piao Ran could still see that the cargo was of great weight and was probably of great value.

"This girl, you don't know that in the past year, there have been almost no bandits in the nameless town, and no matter how much goods are, they are safe."

The black-faced man who was called Master Zhang by the waiter happened to look here, so he took Piao Ran's words and said.

"Didn't appear?" Piao Ran was stunned, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Before leaving the palace, Lord Li emphasized that it was the nameless small town where the robbers appeared.

When you arrive at Mr. Zhang, this is not the case.

"What the girl is talking about in the past, since Kuiye's Boxer branch fought with the robbers several times in the nameless town, there have been fewer and fewer robbers.

Especially this year, I left three times and I was safe and sound every time. This is completely the blessing of Kuiye..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Zhang was in a state of interest, regardless of whether Piaoran would like to listen or not, and he was talking in a daze.

Mr. Zhang turned out to be with his friends to sell some fur. He often passed through unknown small towns and was robbed by robbers many times.

Even if they joined forces with other caravans and forced their way through the nameless town with a large number of people, they were attacked by robbers.
