Chapter 355: Suspicious People

The man on the right looked at the wooden plank next to the three tables and said, "The line on the right is for merchants who want to rent a stall in the market area. The line in the middle is for those who want to register as workers. And the line on the left is for people who want to join the army."
After speaking, he looked at his two friends and said, "Let’s go. There will be a test before we can join the army. Looking at the long queue, I don’t know if we can get the free lunch today."
Hearing his words, the man in the middle felt anxious and said, "Let’s go, let’s go. If we don’t get any food today, I don’t think I will be able to survive today to see the sun tomorrow."

Xu Xiang nodded to him, pointed at the crowd and asked, "Is something going on?"
