Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

"Ah, that... that, that is, oh yes, that is, your meritorious service in controlling the locusts this time, the magistrate commended me, and naturally there is also a reward from you. I wanted to go to Lujia Village to reward you today, but I didn't expect When you meet you beat the drums and complain..."

Duan County Magistrate's long speech almost made Jiang Ling, who had not slept all night, fall asleep. She suppressed her sleepiness and secretly pinched her thigh to finish listening.

"Well, my lord, do you have anything else to do?" Jiang Ling asked impatiently just as Duan County Magistrate closed his mouth.

"Uh...no...it's gone." County magistrate Duan seemed to want to say something more, but finally swallowed all the words.

Jiang Ling hurriedly stood up and resigned, but County Magistrate Duan wanted to persuade him to stay but didn't know how to say so, so he could only watch Jiang Ling leave his mansion.

Jiang Ling, who had just walked out of the government office, felt a little regretful.I didn't know if I would offend County Magistrate Duan by contradicting County Magistrate just now, but thinking about County Magistrate Duan's kindness, he probably wouldn't hold a grudge against him because of such a trivial matter.

Just as Jiang Ling walked a few steps, he couldn't help but stop. Uncle Lu and the village chief had already disappeared. The only means of transportation back to Lujia Village was gone. He didn't know how to ride a horse. Could it be that he really had to rely on himself? Walk back on two legs?

It is estimated that it will take at least three or four hours to go from Pingxi County to Lujia Village. Jiang Ling looked up at the scorching sun in the sky and couldn't help shaking his head.

Just when Jiang Ling was at a loss, a slightly familiar voice came from behind him.

"Mr. Jiang, luckily you didn't go too far."

Jiang Ling turned her head and saw that County Magistrate Duan was walking towards her in plain clothes. Jiang Ling was a little surprised. She quickly wanted to salute but was stopped by County Magistrate Duan. County Magistrate Duan in plain clothes would look like Ordinary people are average.

"I delayed you for a while just now. There is no means of transportation back to Lujiacun. If you are not in a hurry, just wait for me. I happen to be going to Lujiacun too." County magistrate Duan said.

Jiang Ling was full of joy after hearing this, and finally she didn't need to walk back on two legs, but Jiang Ling still showed a embarrassed expression and said to County Magistrate Duan: "My lord, I really can't get in your carriage as a village woman. "

The county magistrate Duan waved his hand and comforted him with an indifferent look: "Mr. Jiang, don't underestimate yourself. Your son Jiang Yaojie discovered the source of water and solved the serious problem for me. Your control of locusts is another merit."

"Let's go, you and I will go back to the county office and wait, we will leave later!"

After returning to the county government office and waiting for a cup of tea, a government servant led Jiang Ling to the back alley, where the county magistrate's carriage was parked.

In the carriage, there were county magistrate Duan and master sitting there. Seeing this, Jiang Ling immediately wanted to salute, but was stopped by magistrate Duan again.

It was the first time for Jiang Ling to sit in this kind of carriage with a shed after crossing over. The seats inside were also covered with soft cushions, and it was very comfortable to sit on. uncomfortable.

The carriage was terribly quiet, and Jiang Ling's drowsiness struck again. She tried her best not to let herself yawn, and at the same time kept pinching her thighs, trying to wake herself up with pain.

However, Jiang Ling, who hadn't slept all night, still couldn't overcome the drowsiness in the end. At some point, she leaned on the carriage and fell asleep in a daze.

Jiang Ling, who was asleep, had a dream. She dreamed that she was married, wearing a traditional red Hanfu. The main scene of the whole wedding was in traditional Chinese style, but when she saw the groom's face clearly, she couldn't help but almost scream.

Later, Jiang Ling was gently patted awake, and when she rubbed her sleepy eyes to see the person in front of her clearly, she broke out in a cold sweat again.

Jiang Ling wanted to stand up and salute the county magistrate Duan in front of him, but his legs started to go numb because of his sleeping position. Just as Jiang Ling took a step, he staggered and threw himself into the magistrate Duan's arms.

Jiang Ling's face instantly turned red into an apple, and she hurriedly struggled out of the magistrate Duan's arms, but forgot that her legs were still numb, and she leaned back uncontrollably. After falling on the carriage, he subconsciously closed his eyes, but after a long time, there was no trace of pain in his body.

Jiang Ling quickly opened her eyes, only to see that County Magistrate Duan's hand was firmly on her waist, and she was in a particularly funny posture. Jiang Ling regained consciousness and broke free from County Magistrate Duan's arm again in a panic , I suppressed the discomfort in my legs and sat back on the carriage again.

The atmosphere in the car suddenly became ambiguous, the master at the side didn't know whether it was to avoid suspicion or for other reasons, he turned his head and pretended to be in a posture of closing his eyes and resting his mind.

"Sorry..." Jiang Ling whispered.

"It's okay, what happened last night must have surprised you? I'll send someone to prescribe some medicine for you later!" County Magistrate Duan coughed lightly.

Jiang Ling shook his head and was about to refuse, but County Magistrate Duan said to himself, "It's okay, we've already arrived at Lujia Village!"

Jiang Ling heard that it was almost a carriage that fled in despair.

The village chief was surprised when he saw Jiang Ling. He was about to ask who the magistrate Duan got off the carriage in the next second. etiquette.

County magistrate Duan glanced at the crowd and resumed their previous serious expressions.

"I came to Lujia Village today to announce something good!" County Magistrate Duan coughed lightly.

When everyone heard the word "good thing", smiles could not be hidden from the corners of their brows and eyes.

"The villagers in Lujia Village are honest and helpful, and they took the initiative to help the next-door village find water sources. The magistrate is very pleased to hear that, and hereby rewards the villagers in Lujia Village for a [-]% reduction in this year's exorbitant taxes!" Xie En who knelt on the ground sparsely.

The village chief was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he kept prostrating and prostrating.

County magistrate Duan quickly asked everyone to stand up, then his eyes fell on Jiang Ling and he began to announce the second thing.

"The Jiang family in Lujia Village and their son Jiang Yaojie have contributed to excavating water sources and controlling locusts. I hereby reward you with 50 taels of silver!" As soon as the magistrate Duan finished speaking, the yamen servant walked up to Jiang Ling with a red square plate.

Jiang Ling looked at the white snowflake silver on the square plate, and felt extremely excited. Now she is finally rich and can buy what she wants. Although she has systematic blessings, she is also running a small business , but has been afraid to spend too much money, for fear that the people around will become suspicious.

Jiang Ling swallowed her saliva, and was just about to stretch out her hand to take the silver, when at this moment, a thin black figure rushed to Jiang Ling like a whirlwind, and she stretched out her withered hand towards Grab the silver in the tray.

What happened suddenly, everyone looked at everything in front of them in a daze, but Jiang Ling reacted quickly, she grabbed the thin arm and cursed viciously: "Old man! How dare you steal my money in broad daylight?"
