She smiled lightly and said, "Old lady, you don't look like you are familiar with these noodles. Why didn't your husband come out to help you?"
After hearing this, the old woman was stunned for a while, and then said: "Young lady just came down from the mountain, haven't you been here before?"
Qian Qian took a look at his body, the rough bearskin, no wonder someone could tell it at a glance. Looking at the old woman who was hesitant to speak, there must be some important news in her belly, so she smiled calmly and said
: "I did come down from the mountain. I have never been here before. I feel something is wrong on this street. Can the old woman tell me where all the men here have gone?"
The old woman looked at Qian Qian in horror, as if she had accidentally revealed some big secret. After looking around, she made sure that no one had noticed, then she came close to Qian Qian and said cautiously:
"What the girl doesn't know is that the war is in chaos. The government is arresting young men everywhere. Eighty-nine out of ten men from every household have been taken away. The rest may have gone into hiding a long time ago. The girl must not say anything casually.

When we go out and walk around at will, everything is done by the women at home. Fortunately, in the past year or so, there has been no arrest of girls on the mountain. Otherwise, there would be no one on the street, and we would not be able to survive.
Perhaps the hardships of life have touched the sensitive nerves in the old woman's heart. As she talked, she couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes with the back of her withered hands. Her wrinkled eyes were red. She probably cried too much and her tears
They were all very stingy, which made Qian Qian feel sour in her heart.
I was no longer in the mood to eat noodles. I touched my pocket lightly. When I escaped from Yun Qingkuang, I managed to grab some jewelry. I picked out a good-quality silver necklace and handed it to the old woman. She first
After some delay, seeing that Qianqian was determined, she accepted it with great gratitude and was about to put it in her pocket.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be leaked, especially on this impoverished street. The old woman held a silver chain in her hand and kept bending down to thank Qian Qian. A corner of the chain hung under her withered hands, swaying in the wind.
He soon attracted the attention of an aunt sitting next to him.
