Seeing that the man was about to fall to the ground, Lin Heng stepped forward to help him up, and asked the old beggar with concern whether he was okay.

When the people around saw this scene, they all covered their noses and moved away from Lin Heng and the others.

The beggar did not answer Lin Heng's question, but just repeated two words frantically: "Good man, go quickly; good man, go quickly!"

Lin Heng didn't quite understand what he said, he just vaguely heard the word "good man" and thought that this crazy beggar also thought that the county magistrate was a good man.

Only Lin Ke heard it clearly, and understood it very clearly, that this crazy beggar wanted them to leave quickly!

Lin Ke took out two steamed buns from her backpack and handed them to the crazy beggar. The crazy beggar looked at her, snatched the buns, and began to eat them ravenously.

Lin Ke watched him wolf down the steamed bun and wanted to ask him what he meant.

But at this moment, two patrolling soldiers came and wanted to take the crazy old man away.

The crazy old man grabbed Lin Ke's hand and squeezed out a word from his throat: "Go!"

The voice was like an old wooden door, hoarse and obscure.

Lin Ke frowned. What on earth did this crazy old man mean?

The others didn't understand what was going on and thought that the old man was asking the girl for food again.

People around him whispered, "This crazy old man is really weird. The county magistrate built a Salesian Church to house all the beggars and orphans, but he doesn't want to stay in the church. He always runs out and goes crazy."

"Yes, the county magistrate is also indulgent towards him. If this crazy old man didn't run around everywhere, our county magistrate wouldn't have to send someone to watch him."

"That's right. It's a waste of manpower in the county government. I saw the county magistrate feeding the crazy old man steamed buns the other day."

"Where did this crazy old man come from?"

Everyone was chatting happily when they heard a soft and cute voice. When they looked down, they found it was the little girl who had given buns to the crazy old man.

The little girl had a bright smile on her face and two cute dimples on her face.

Everyone who saw it was heart-melted.

An auntie squatted down, her eyes level with Lin Ke's, and then she whispered, "Oh, who knows? Two years ago, someone saw a man fainted on the street with blood all over his face. Someone reported it to the authorities, and Magistrate Pang had him brought to the county government office. He was kind enough to treat him, but he woke up and became crazy."

"Yes, our Magistrate Pang has a lot of things to do and doesn't have time to take care of him all the time, so he settled him in the Salesian Church, but he always sneaks out, saying something that no one can understand, crying and laughing at the same time."

"Yes, and he makes himself smelly all day long."

Lin Ke felt that there was something wrong after hearing this. Based on her twenty years of experience in watching TV dramas and reading novels, she felt that there was definitely something wrong with this county town.

It seems that I have to go out and explore at night when no one is around.

After listening to the crazy old man's gossip, Lin Heng asked about the doubts in his heart.

"Brother, is it raining in Liang'an County? Isn't there a water shortage? Our Lin'an County has been dry for more than half a year."

"It's a drought, of course it's a drought. Our county hasn't seen a drop of rain in half a year. But this is all thanks to our great Lord."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

“Since our County Magistrate Pang took office five years ago, he has organized the people in our county and the villages below to repair ditches and dig canals every year to bring water to the fields.

We also dug water cellars to collect rainwater when it rains, so that even if it doesn’t rain for a year, we will still have enough drinking water.”

The man who was asked by Lin Heng proudly introduced the great achievements of their county magistrate, and the people around him also looked proud of it.

This made Lin Ke confused. Could it be that this county magistrate was really a good person?

Or a good man with foresight?

But what is going on with that crazy old man?

Forget it, never mind. I’ll investigate it carefully tonight.

After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic crowd, the three of them went to buy 30 big meat buns and returned to the yard of the inn.

Because of the delay they took outside, everyone had already washed up when they returned.

Even the dirty clothes that had been taken off during these days were washed clean and hung in the yard.

After the three of them returned, they were arranged to take a shower, and then they ate the buns they had bought with everyone.

But for them now, a bun can only fill their stomachs.

Before the sun set, the women made two large bowls of cold noodles.

He cut the cucumber that Lin Ke took out into shreds, mixed it into the noodles, and added a lot of vinegar.

It tastes refreshing and appetizing.

Even Little Stone ate a big bowl.

After dinner, everyone gathered together to talk about what they had seen and heard today.

The group of people listened with envy.

If they had such a good county magistrate, would they not have to flee from famine?

Everyone even enthusiastically discussed the possibility of settling here.

After all, this place is not too far from their village, so if they want to go back in the future, they can go back and take a look.

Only Zhong Xiu murmured quietly: "Is there really such a good place? Why haven't we heard of it in Lin'an County?"

He does not mean that.

When Lin Heng heard his wife's muttering, alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.

Yes, if Liang'an County is so good, why had he never heard of it after working in the county for several years?

There's definitely something wrong here.

Besides, what kind of crazy old man was seen on the street today? Where could there be someone watching him specifically?

There are so many beggars in Lin'an County, but no one cares about them.

By the way, beggars, today on the street, except for that crazy old man, I didn’t see a single beggar.

No wonder, I always feel like there’s something weird that I can’t explain.

It seems they'd better leave here early.

Lin Heng told everyone his guess, and others also felt as if something was crawling across their backs, making them feel creepy all over.

Forget it, I'd better leave early tomorrow.

While the adults were chatting, Lin Ke ran to the yard and used his supernatural powers to communicate with the two trees in the yard for a while.

The news we received was that outsiders often disappeared in this inn.

Now Lin Ke was sure that there was something strange about Liang'an County.

She reminded her father to remind everyone not to sleep too deeply at night and not to make any noise if something really happened.

Lin Heng didn't know what had happened, but it was definitely not a good thing to make his daughter feel like she was facing a great enemy.

He found an excuse and entered the carriage with Lin Ke.

The two of them entered the RV, and Lin Ke told his father the news he had obtained.

Lin Heng didn't expect the situation to be so serious. If that's the case, wouldn't they be in danger tonight?

Lin Heng wanted to leave now and leave this strange county.

But now it's night, and I'm afraid the city gates have been closed.
