When Locke was finished, the lady boss came out with two plates of food. She first put the food on a table, then went back to the bar and took out a candle that had burned to the size of a thumb, and lit it. , The tavern is a little brighter. Xia Qian noticed the re-wrapped package on the bar counter and the slightly clean floor, understood something, and showed a touch of emotion on her face. "Come and eat, sir." Xia Qian called to Dao Locke.

"Uh... I said you just cook something casually? Let's have this for dinner?" Locke pointed to the two plates of black paste on the table in surprise. Locke knew that this was baked mashed potatoes. Locke used to eat this when the harvest was bad at home or when he encountered difficulties in life.

"This...This is the only food I have here. I'm sorry, my lord." Xia Qian blushed and said in a low voice, perhaps because she thought of something and felt like she was crying again.

"Forget it, I haven't eaten mashed potatoes for a long time, just as the aftertaste has passed." Seeing that this glamorous lady boss has a tendency to cry again, she quickly changed her words. To be honest, Locke is now a carnivorous creature that can eat meat all at once. It is really embarrassing for him to let him go back and eat roasted potatoes, mashed potatoes sprinkled with a little salt. Locke is very curious about what this woman is going through now. You know, the small thumb-sized candle on the table now can be replaced by Locke in the barracks to get a delicious meal with meat. Candles are high-end items. Most of them are used by nobles. Because of the complicated craftsmanship, their prices are very high. They are rarely used by the people. They are also used by rich peasants and merchants with small assets. Uncle York's military tent The only lighting is oil lamps. As for Locke's military account, they can only rely on torches to play cards and entertain the night time.

"I'm just curious, you are a well-known bar proprietress, who eats this for every meal." Locke said to the weeping proprietress teasingly, not waiting for the proprietress to say anything, picking up the mashed potatoes His plate rose in the wind, and he was really hungry. He drank a lot of wine in the afternoon and didn't eat anything, and his stomach was burning up till now.

The lady boss heard, wanted to say something, and saw Locke’s crude eating style at this time, she swallowed what she wanted to say. Different from Locke's rough eating style with a plate, Xia Qian eats with a spoon, spoon after spoon, bit by bit, as if enjoying something delicious, very graceful. Although the share that Xiasi gave to Locke was twice as much as hers, Locke resolved the battle very quickly, and she still had a lot of meaning.

"Eat fast..." Xia Qian murmured, "Hey, I can't eat anyway, you can help me eat more." After all, Xia Qian transferred half of the food on her plate to the Rock plate in. It was true that Locke was not full, watching the beautiful proprietress give him her meal without saying anything, picking up the plate and then fighting.

After Xia Qian put the last bit of mashed potatoes in her mouth, she looked up and found that Locke had already cocked Erlang's legs and looked at him with a smile in her eyes. Xia Qian couldn't stand the man's gaze a little, and quickly got up and put away the two clean plates, and walked to the back kitchen.

When Xia Qian came back again, the two of them sat on both sides of the table and fell silent again. Only the short candle in the center of the table was still swaying. "Let's talk about it, why is life so bleak? According to your situation, it shouldn't be like this." Locke broke the calm and asked first.

Looking at this man who intends to help herself, Xia Qian resisted the excitement in her heart and told the truth. "Although my tavern can make roughly 30 copper dellers a day, it can even reach 50 when business is good. A copper Dele, but the money almost didn't belong to me in the end." Xia Qian said with her head down.

"Snatched by those local gangsters? Like today?" Locke asked.

"En..." Xia Qian whispered, as if thinking of something bad again, this glamorous lady boss showed distressing sadness again.

"How is it possible, just these gangsters? They don’t know that this tavern serves soldiers in the barracks? What about your husband? Didn’t he catch up with the high-level camp? He just has to talk to the high-level camp. I believe that someone will solve your troubles." Locke asked in surprise.

"When people are hungry to a certain level, they don't think too much. These **** are poor people who can't survive. Now in this small town, only me and the group of women behind the tavern can receive money. "Xia Qian told the reasons, and added a terrifying sentence, "Moreover, my husband didn't want me..."

"En? Why?" Locke was really curious this time, this beautiful boss was abandoned by her husband, and that person was kicked by the donkey? Don't want such a beautiful wife.

"He has become the most powerful man in Giza Town since he got on board your army. Everyone in this town and refugees who fled from other places have to fawn on him. Why is he missing now? Woman." Xia Qian smiled miserably, and said, "Now the women behind the tavern who do skin and flesh trades are under his control, let alone my scumbag."

"Perhaps make up for me, he gave me the tavern." Xia Qian brushed her hair and continued, "Those **** who were afraid of his reputation and the soldiers who drank here at first became starving. No matter so many, every time my shop ran out of people, they came to grab the money. The more often they found out that my husband actually didn't care about this tavern, and those gangsters became more and more sophisticated."

"Why don't you ask a soldier who is drinking here for help? If you ask for help from someone like me, someone should help you, after all, we still have to drink here." Locke asked.

"Even if you can help, it will only help for a while, those rascals will not let me go..." Xia Qian said sadly, "Now the ale in the tavern is saved before because of the money earned. Being robbed and rising prices, I have not brewed new wine for a long time, and it is estimated that it will be sold out in less than a week. I may be living out like the group of women behind the tavern..." The beautiful boss lady's sad expression is arousing. Pity.

"Do you want me to protect you all the time, instead of just teaching the gangsters once?" Locke changed directions and asked her, raising her legs.

When Locke saw what was going on, the lady boss' sad cheeks flushed, and she bit her white teeth and nodded slightly.

"Leave aside, I’m just a small team leader. I have 10 people at my disposal. There are training in the camp. There are not enough people to stay here to protect you. Besides, I’m not sure I’ll be there any day. Go to war, even if I protect you now, what will happen after I leave?” Although Locke is willing to help her, the truth is that Locke is not a person who can be easily tempted by beauty. She sensibly refused. Glamorous lady boss.

Xia Qian paled when she heard Locke’s refusal, and her eyes showed despair. The candle on the table had burned to the bottom, and the faint flame was teetering, and finally extinguished after burning the last white smoke. The tavern plunged into darkness again. The moonlight was good tonight, and it shot in through the cracks of the window. The faint moonlight shone on the two of them, and they were motionless like white wax stone sculptures.

"Woo...Woo..." The beautiful lady boss made a whispered cry again. This bitter woman may be the most tearful in a year. She doesn't know where her future is. , She was confused and helpless. Locke is also helpless about this. This world is like this. There is no love for no reason, and no hate for no reason. Everyone has his own way of living. He can't even guarantee to survive the war, let alone the ability to do so. Take care of someone you don’t know each other.

"Oh...I will let a few people come and watch the tavern these days. You can do business for a few days, and then take the money you earn and go to Peters in the occupied area or go to your relatives." Or moved by the cries of the boss's wife, Locke decided to help this beautiful woman as much as he could and showed her a way out. "I can only do this." After that, Locke got up and prepared to leave. It was getting late and the camp was about to be closed.

After listening to Dowlock's words, the lady boss cried a bit louder, and the tears made the woman's face smeared, but she still cried, as if helpless to the rough fate.

Locke slowly walked towards the entrance of the tavern, and he stopped persuading him. If you want to cry, just cry. Only after experiencing it can people become stronger. The cries of the proprietress gradually lowered, and just as Locke walked to the entrance of the tavern and was about to move the wooden board at the entrance to leave, a warm body hugged him.

"You can't let you help me in vain." The lady boss said hoarsely, "I have nothing except this tavern and a few barrels of wine. Except myself, I can't think of a way to repay you." Locke could hear. At this time, in addition to the thoughts of repaying him, the beautiful boss lady also had the emotion of grief to the extreme.

"You don't have to be like this, we are actually..." Before Locke finished speaking, a fiery tongue blocked his mouth. The glamorous proprietress Xiasi embraced Locke's strong chest and kissed and blocked it. What he wants to say.

Locke is not a person who can stand this situation. He hasn't touched a woman for almost a month. Being kissed so passionately by Xia Qian is even more so that dry wood meets a raging fire. In response to Xia Qian, she turned and hugged her, preparing to solve this charming fairy right here. "Don't, don't be here, go upstairs..." Xia Qian was also stunned by Locke's fiery kiss, but she was still sober and urged Locke to go upstairs.
