Chapter 10 - Jinchuan County

 " I've already said that Hanyan can't bask in the sun, which means that she was born with a rich life. How about it? Do you believe me now?"

  "I don't want anyone to gossip about her and say that she's a jinx in the future!" Qin Feng pointed at the women around him and said.

  " I believe you, I believe you. Bring me a white steamed bun after you receive the reward money. In the future, when I see your wife, I can even call her the God of Fortune Grandma."

  A valiant village woman teased.

  "Even if I don't bring you steamed buns, you have to call her Grandma God of Wealth in the future!"

  "Why?"

  "Just because you can earn money from her in the future and live a good life."

  "Then I'll wait."

  "Don't worry, I won't make you wait too long." Qin Feng said confidently.

  As a transmigrator, Qin Feng would definitely not stay in this small ravine. This was only the starting point, not the end.

  No matter what he did, he definitely couldn't do it alone. By then, there would be many people in Haijiao Village who would find jobs here and take their salaries from Guan Hanyan.

  If Guan Hanyan wasn't their goddess of fortune, then what was she?

  But now, the women all thought that Qin Feng was bragging and no one really took it to heart. They all turned their heads to see Zhang Liang kowtowing to his mother.

  The Zhang family's life was difficult. As the pillar of the family, he had to work in the fields every day until dark before returning home.

  As soon as he reached his house, he heard the roar of a ferocious tiger from the back mountain.

  His mother, wife, and younger siblings were still digging wild vegetables in the back mountain. Zhang Liang's heart turned cold.

  He only found out that Qin Feng had saved his entire family when he arrived at the back of the mountain.

  After comforting his mother, he brought Zhang Mancang, whose pants were still wet, to squeeze through the crowd and come to Qin Feng. He hammered his chest with his remaining right arm and said,

  "Brother Jin, I can't thank you enough. Zhang Liang's life is yours in the future. If there's anything you need, just tell me!"

  This was the highest etiquette in the army.

  " Brother Liang, sister-in-law is cousin Hanyan. We're family. Aren't you treating us like strangers?"

  These words were just the simplest of polite words in the future, but they really hit the bottom of Zhang Liang's heart.

  The two disabled people of the Zhang family had a hard time in the village. The women who dug wild vegetables were not willing to work with the Zhang family's sister-in-law because they dug too fast.

  Over the years, Zhang Liang had seen too many people's emotions, so he cherished the kindness of others even more.

  Qin Feng risked his life to save his family and said these words. Zhang Liang was so touched that he was dead set on it.

  When the village chief saw this scene, he laughed so hard that his eyes could not be seen.

  In all these years, when had a tiger not taken away a few people?

  Only this time, the village did not even have a tiger hunting team, but the tiger was killed without even hurting a single person.

  Without Qin Feng saying anything, the villagers spontaneously found hemp ropes and carried the tiger to Qin Feng's house.

  Guan Hanyan took out the peanut candy that she had brought back in the morning and entertained everyone with a lively atmosphere.

  Although her face was still red from embarrassment, she still looked like the mistress of the house. She was teased by the women again.

  "Qin Feng, who do you think you should bring to the county government?"

  Village Chief pulled Qin Feng to the side and asked in a low voice.

  Selling the tiger and the reward was a huge sum of money. According to the rules, Qin Feng had to provide food for those who followed him to the county government. If they were sensible, they would at least give him some red packets.

  Nowadays, there weren't many opportunities to have a full meal, so it was a good job to follow him to the county government. The village chief couldn't make his own decisions.

  " Village Chief, Big Brother Tie Zi, Sixth Brother, and Brother Liang, please go with us."

  Qin Feng smiled as he made his decision.

  The village chief naturally had to go. He would also bring his son, Liu Tie, along to do him a favor. After all, he still had to work in the village in the future.

  Old Sixth Chen was a hunter. He would go to the county government to sell animal skins a few times a year. He was familiar with the way, so it was only right to bring him along.

  The Village Chief was a little surprised that Qin Feng was willing to bring the one-armed Zhang Liang. However, since Qin Feng had made the decision, the Village Chief couldn't refute it.

  It was already midnight by the time they sent the villagers away.

  "Hanyan, do you want to bring anything?"

  Qin Feng asked casually as he helped Guan Hanyan pack her things.

  It was not easy to go to the county government these days. Many people could only go there a few times in their lifetime.

  "There's food at home, there's nothing to bring…"

  Before he could finish, Guan Hanyan seemed to have thought of something.

  " Sure." Qin Feng remembered it in his heart and asked with a smile," Why? Are you hungry?"

  " Little sister fell sick two years ago. Father took her to the county government to see a doctor. She ate candied haws once. After she came back, she kept saying that it would be great if she could eat candied haws again in this life."

  Guan Hanyan lowered her voice." When I left, her health was getting worse and worse. The elders in the village said that she wouldn't live past this year…Master, you're back from the county government. Can I go back and see my sister?"

  "Of course you can."

  "I'll go with you," Qin Feng pulled Guan Hanyan into his embrace.

  His first meal here was bought with his mother-in-law's private money. No matter what, he had to visit.

  The next day, before dawn, the village chief brought his son Liu Tie, hunter Chen Laoliu, and Zhang Liang to Qin Feng's house.

  Old Sixth Chen was also pushing a large cart.

  Guan Hanyan was earlier than them. The oatmeal was already ready and placed on the table.

  " Hanyan, I don't think I'll be back tonight. If you're afraid, you can stay with Cousin for the night."

  The distance between Haijiao Village and the county government was only twenty miles, but there was a canyon in the middle, so they could only take a detour.

  This way, the journey became more than forty miles, and more than half of it was on narrow mountain roads. They definitely wouldn't be able to return in a day.

  "Yes."

  Guan Hanyan nodded obediently.

  The mountain road was rugged and narrow, and many places were not much wider than a handcart. It was difficult to pull a tiger that weighed a few hundred pounds. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any bandits along the way. It took them more than six hours to cover more than thirty miles of the mountain road in the middle of the afternoon.

  Turning around the foot of the mountain, the outline of a city appeared in the distance.

  This was the county government that governed Haijiao Village-Jinchuan County.

  The county government wasn't big, only three to four miles in length and width. It couldn't even be compared to many towns in the later generations.

  However, the city wall made of large bricks was five to six meters tall. Its surface was full of potholes, and there were traces of knives, axes, and burning smoke everywhere, as if it was recounting a battle that had happened in the past.

  This was obviously a military city.

  On the official road, there were more people on the road. Qin Feng and the others 'handcarts occupied half of the road.

  There are many mountains in Sichuan and Shu, and tigers are rampant. The common people have suffered from tigers for a long time.

  Seeing the cart pulling such a huge tiger, the passers-by all gave way to show their respect for the hero who killed the tiger.

  This greatly satisfied Hunter and Liu Tie's vanity. They held their heads high and puffed out their chests as if they were the heroes who had defeated the tiger.

  The few of them entered the county from the east gate and pulled the cart straight to the county government in the center of the city.

  The county government was crowded with people who were watching the show. Killing the tiger was also to eliminate the evil for the people. The government runners did not dare to make things difficult for Qin Feng and the others. After examining the tiger's corpse, they cut off the tiger's tongue and gave the three strings of money to the village chief.
