Chapter IX Lingbei County Government

After bidding farewell to Li Hu, the village chief and everyone else, Su Qian helped Qin Ziyin back to the room.

As soon as she got home, Qin Ziyin hugged Su Qi'an and kept groping Su Qi'an's face with her jade hands, fearing that what she saw was an illusion.

Su Qian's pretty little face was full of worry. Looking at this scene, Su Qi'an gently stroked Qin Ziyin's long hair with her big hands and quickly comforted her.

"Okay, okay, my wife is fine, my husband is back well."

"Hmph, forget it this time. If I know you took the risk to hunt a tiger next time, I will definitely not let you go."

Qin Ziyin clenched her fists and hit Su Qian's chest several times.

I thought that Su Qi'an was just joining in the fun, but who would have thought that after the big insect escaped, Su Qi'an was brave enough to hunt down the big insect with several hunters.

This frightened Qin Ziyin. If not for shopkeeper Guan blocking his way, Qin Ziyin would have looked for Su Qi'an no matter what.

Looking at Qin Ziyin with a worried face, Su Qi'an subconsciously held Qin Ziyin's hand with his hand, and wrapped his other hand around Qin Ziyin's waist.

This move made Qin Ziyin a little stunned, but she did not resist, her face was slightly red, and she was buried directly in Su Qi'an's chest.

Su Qi'an was a hot-blooded young man. He hugged Qin Ziyin directly. As soon as the door was closed, the two of them got into bed. Suddenly, a feeling of spring filled the air...

The night was getting late, and the sound of creaking could be heard in the thatched house, which lasted most of the night. When Su Qi'an got up, it was already late at night.

Seeing Qin Ziyin sleeping happily with a face full of happiness, Su Qi'an carefully covered her with the quilt without disturbing her, and then got out of bed softly.

Although it is good to have a wife by your side, Su Qian understands one thing better: if you want to protect everything in front of you, you must be fully prepared.

What happened during the day has basically brought people together. If Su Qi'an goes out for something in the future, at least he won't worry too much about Qin Ziyin's safety.

The most important thing at hand now is to improve the crossbow in hand.

Although this longbow was powerful when hunting big insects, in actual operation, it was accurate, but Su Qi'an was not satisfied with its power.

In his previous life, with Su Qian's archery skills, he would have been able to pierce an enemy with a hundred steps.

But in Daliang, a backward feudal dynasty, the quality of the crossbows made by the blacksmiths in the village was still poor.

To make a good crossbow, you need good materials, but this kind of material cannot be found in Dongshan Village. Even if you look at the county town, even if you can find it, the money spent will not be a small amount.

Looking at the thatched house where he lived, Su Qian shook his head mockingly.

For now, this crossbow is just for use. Improving the living conditions at home is equally important.

After all, Su Qi'an is not alone now. With Qin Ziyin as his little wife, and after what happened, Su Qi'an will definitely be responsible for Qin Ziyin.

Wait until dawn tomorrow and send the corpse of the insect to the county government to get some reward money. The rest will be done step by step.

Time passed very quickly in the second half of the night. Just when Su Qi'an modified the crossbow in his hand for a while, the dark night faded, and a touch of fish belly white gradually appeared on the horizon.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Mr. Su, are you awake?"

Listening to Li Hu's familiar voice, Su Qian yawned and opened the door softly.

Li Hu, Zhao Da, Shui Sheng, and Tieniu shook hands and stood outside the door with their bodies trembling.

Behind the four people, a three-wheeled cart stood aside.

Su Qian glanced at the four people, made a hiss, and signaled the four people to wait a moment. Then he tiptoed back to the room, found a piece of paper and ink, wrote lightly with his fingers, left a message, put on a thick cotton coat, and whispered from

Walked out of the room.

As soon as the door was closed, Li Hu and the other two quickly left.

Following Su Qi'an's instructions, these four people came to ask Su Qi'an to go to the wild forest at dawn to look for the corpse of the big insect.

The big insect was chased by four people for two days and was successfully hunted down. However, it was impossible to bring back the hundreds of kilograms of corpses without some tools.

Moreover, after the killing, Su Qi'an seemed to have expected something would happen in the village, so he did not bring the corpse of the insect back immediately, but buried it on the spot.

What happened next was just as Su Qian expected. If the five of them hadn't hurried and hurried back to the village, they would have regretted it.

After this incident, the four people's admiration for Su Qi'an could not be greater. That kind of reverence could not be written on their faces.

Along the way, the four of them were afraid that Su Qi'an would be tired, so they insisted on making Su Qi'an sit on the cart. The four of them took turns pulling Su Qi'an.

Su Qi'an was a little helpless, but he couldn't resist the good intentions of the four people. The five people ran all the way. When the sky gradually became brighter, the five people finally arrived at the place where the big insect was buried.

After some digging, the corpse of the big insect was dug out. After two days of delay, almost half of the corpse of the big insect was rotten.

Compared with a complete tiger body, this level of rotten bounty will definitely be greatly reduced, but there is nothing we can do about it.

Fortunately, the four hunters were smart enough to drag the rotting insects into the car, cover them with straw mats, and cover them with some soil to prevent the smell of rot from spreading.

The five-man cart turned around, changed direction, and headed towards Lingbei County.

The distance from Yelinzi to Lingbei County is not that far, only about twenty or thirty miles. With the strength of five people, it can be reached in an hour at most.

This hour's journey went smoothly, and there were no wild beast attacks.

The existence of one big insect in a forest is considered to be a disaster. Once this big insect dies, it will at least ensure the safety of hunting in the wild forest in the future.

During this period, when they were about to leave Yelinzi, the five people deliberately passed the trap set yesterday to see what was going on.

Before he even walked in, a faint smell of blood hit his face, and the trap he had set had already been activated.

There was a mess all around, with countless broken wood fragments mixed with little bits of blood scattered around.

There was a huge pothole in the middle. Li Hu and Zhao Da braved it and slowly stepped forward.

Their eyes glanced at the pothole, and there was a strong look of solemnity on their faces, and then they looked at Su Qi'an who was walking away.

He didn't say anything, just nodded slowly.

Su Qian understood and waved his hand, signaling the two of them not to move and leave the place.

Inside the hole was an unrecognizable corpse. It looked like he was traveling late at night and fell into a trap by mistake. The smell of blood spread, attracting attacks from other small beasts in the forest.

In addition, the bleeding continued, injuries were added to injuries, and he was bitten to death.

Just by looking at the clothes, you can tell that the person who died here was Shopkeeper Guan.

Just like Su Qian's plan, without them having to do anything, shopkeeper Guan jumped into the trap and sought death on his own initiative.

The four of them did not feel sorry for shopkeeper Guan's death, but the stones hanging in their hearts finally fell to the ground.

All the bandits died, but Shopkeeper Guan ran away. With Shopkeeper Guan's vengeful character, the first thing he did when he ran out was to take the Dongzishan bandits down the mountain to massacre the village.

For such a big matter, if they didn't trust Su Qian's decision in their hearts, I'm afraid they would have run away overnight with their wives, children, and children.

Fortunately, the final result was just as Su Qian thought. With Shopkeeper Guan dead, Dongshan Village at least remained safe.

Even if shopkeeper Guan's body was found by his family in the future, his death was simply due to him walking late at night, accidentally falling into a trap and being bitten to death by a wild beast. He was entirely to blame.

Even if you want to take revenge, you can't find the direction.

It doesn't take any manpower or material resources, and finally becomes a speechless dead man. This is the best way to kill people.

None of the four Li Hu said anything, let alone compliments. The whole journey was quiet, as if what happened just now had never happened.

Su Qi'an was quite satisfied with the actions of the four of them. The less clearly stated some things were and the more they acted as if nothing had happened, the safer their lives would be.

The five people slowly left Yelinzi and finally walked onto the official road. One after another, there were also more people traveling to the county seat.

After walking for about four or five miles, finally, a county town appeared in front of the five people.

Lingbei County is not a big city, covering an area of ​​only a few hundred meters. The city wall is not high, about fifteen meters. The walls are all made of earthen walls, which looks quite shabby.

At the gate of the city, two soldiers in iron armor were patrolling, yawning.

Li Hu and Zhao Da probably came to the county town more often, and they were quite familiar with the soldiers guarding the city.

He quickly stepped forward to say hello, and as he spoke, he paid some money.

The soldiers guarding the city felt the weight inside the bag, with a slight smile on their indifferent faces. Without deliberately making things difficult, they waved and let the five people in.

Li Hu and Zhao Da raised their hands to express their gratitude, and together with Su Qi'an, Shui Sheng, and Tieniu, they pulled the cart into the county town.

The city was similar to Su Qian's imagination. There was only one main road, and on both sides of the road were small vendors walking in the streets.

Various hawkers shouted, Li Hu and Zhao Da didn't stop too much and pulled the cart straight to the Lingbei County Government Office.

Even though these vendors look very kind, if they stop here, all the money they spent in the city today will be wasted.

After all, any vendor who can survive in the county is not a ghost. Fortunately, this time it was Li Hu and Zhao Da who took the lead. If Su Qi'an entered the city alone.

Maybe all the money he had was defrauded. Along the way, Su Qi'an saw not only the so-called vendors with smiling faces, but also some robbers in the county.

Even if they saw the occasional patrolling soldiers passing by, they would be indifferent.

As long as you pay a certain entry fee before entering the city, you are eligible to roam around the county. As long as no one is killed, so-called robbery, forced buying and selling are basically normal.

"This is the rule in the county. Don't be a good person. These days, everyone is cleaning the snow in front of their door. It's good to be able to survive. As for other people, just pretend they haven't seen it."

While walking, Li Hu and Zhao Da explained various rules and current conditions in the county to Su Qi'an.

Su Qian nodded without speaking, but her heart felt a little heavy.

"It seems that the Great Liang Dynasty is also in chaos. It's very difficult to survive."

Thinking about it this way, fortunately, there were four Orions, Li Hu, Zhao Da, Tieniu, and Shui Sheng, escorting them. Although they encountered some troubles during the period, they were resolved smoothly in the end.
