Chapter 32: Please help me fulfill my dream

It was the killer who had caused trouble in the town and was killed on the spot. As for the remaining survivors, three were left behind and Li Zhouquan, the internal official of Songjiang, went through the criminal procedures. Then, Xu Su's men and the frightened guard were taken away temporarily.

Li Zhouquan, this slippery official, didn't want to get involved in any trouble. It happened that a while ago, merchants were complaining about bandits outside and they lost a lot of money. Li Zhouquan asked the clerk in the yamen to simply make a mark and take the blame for the bandits' behavior.

Taking this opportunity, he wrote a letter to his superiors to "commend his achievements" and "ask for help", in which he exaggerated the losses in the government office.

Xie Yuchuan wanted to leave and Li Zhouquan couldn't stop him.

The dignified county magistrate lay on the bed in the backyard and thought for a long time. He still couldn't help but got up, put on his clothes, and asked someone to go to the warehouse to find some ginseng and other supplements. He then put a handful of gold and silver melon seeds under the ginseng.

When others give gifts, they have to avoid the officials.

Li Zhouquan deliberately gave the things to Xie Yuchuan in front of Xiong Jiushan and the group of escorting officers and soldiers.

The words he spoke were very pleasant. "My salary is meager, so I don't have any valuable gifts to give you. However, I do have two ginseng sticks that my wife prepared for an emergency. My wife is old, and I'm afraid she can't handle the bumpy ride. Please accept them, Master Xie."

Li Zhouquan almost wrote on his face, "Please say a few nice words for me in front of your family god."

Tu Huan was standing not far from Xie Yuchuan, carrying a backpack. When she saw this scene, she almost laughed out loud.

She didn't hate Li Zhouquan that much. She had originally planned to go back to the camp and get some things from the villa for Xie Yuchuan, but she didn't expect Li Zhouquan to give her something before leaving.

She opened her phone and said to Yuchuan, "Ask him which of those wishes he's been mumbling about for a long time he wants the most?"

Xie Yuchuan didn't take the gift he sent at first, and the staff beside Li Zhouquan held it in their hands and waited for a long time.

He didn't answer, and Xie Wuying didn't dare to answer.

The yamen runners next to Xiong Jiushan wanted to take it, but unfortunately they didn't have the ambition or courage!

Lord Li gave it to me in person. Anyone who dares to set his sights on it later may suffer the consequences.

Suddenly hearing what the family god said, Xie Yuchuan's eyes fell on Li Zhouquan's face, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"...Master Li, do you have many wishes?"

When Li Zhouquan heard this, he felt numb from the top of his head to the soles of his feet!

The staff member next to him also felt a pang of fear in his heart.

Li Zhouquan felt excited and nervous at the same time. He took a step forward, wanting to get closer to Xie Yuchuan.

However, Xie Yuchuan was very uncomfortable with this feeling of distance, and he frowned and stepped back.

Li Zhouquan didn't care. He was very excited. "What did you just say, Master Xie? What's your wish?"

He was still pretending to be stupid, but Xie Yuchuan suddenly realized something.

His brows relaxed as he relayed the household god's words to Li Zhouquan, "Which of the things that Master is worried about is the most important?"

Li Zhouquan:?!

Which one?

One piece!

After a few moments, Li Zhouquan finally understood! He was so happy! Turning around, he saw the ginseng box still in the dumbfounded aide's hands. He was furious that the aide hadn't had eyes and had simply taken it and forced it on Xie Yuchuan, regardless of whether it was suitable or not!

It was as if he had comprehended some great secret, and his eyes were shining!

Just as I was about to speak, eyes were staring at me from everywhere.

At his glance, everyone made way.

Li Zhouquan mentally reviewed all the wishes he'd made before the altar, picked out the one he wanted most, and whispered excitedly, "I wish I had a child! My wife is virtuous, but my husband and I have never had any children. It would be truly pitiful to have no one visit our graves after a hundred years. I pray that the gods will have mercy on us."

Tu Huan was right next to Xie Yuchuan, but Li Zhouquan couldn't see her.

As soon as he said it, Tu Huan heard it.

Xie Yuchuan didn't expect that Li Zhouquan's request was to have a child.

He knew that the household god was right beside him because of the unique fragrance that always seemed to be close yet not far away.

At this moment, the fragrance was much stronger than before, and the family god seemed to be right beside him.

Li Zhouquan's wish is indeed embarrassing.

How can one say that having offspring is a sure thing?

Xie Yuchuan remembered that Li Zhouquan had helped Xu Su with his favor. The opportunity of being cared for by the family god was rare, so he wanted to repay him for the favor. He was just about to remind him to express his wish which was easy to achieve so that he would not miss the opportunity.

Tu Huan was also stunned after hearing this. She stared at Li Zhouquan's shrewd, chubby face. He had just said that in front of her "sacred altar," hadn't he? What about those numerous wishes for promotion and wealth?

Infertility is not an easy issue even in modern times.

Seeing Xie Yuchuan remained silent, Li Zhouquan said, "I saw the gods miraculously bring Captain Xu back from the depths of hell. I wonder... can they cure my wife's infertility?"

"Master Li...would you like to ask for medicine?"

"Exactly!"

Tu Huan asked the system: "Is there any medicine for infertility in the mall?"

System: [No.]

Tu Huan sighed for Li Zhouquan and was about to ask Xie Yuchuan to persuade him to change.

[There is a pill that can help you get pregnant.]

Tu Huan choked: ...

Xiong Jiushan took Xie Yuchuan and others to leave Songjiang County Government Office, and Xie Wuying followed them all the way back to the north city gate holding the wooden box.

Wait until everyone leaves.

Li Zhouquan stood at the gate, mumbling to himself the words Xie Yuchuan said before he left.

"If Madam Li gives birth to a child next day, please accumulate merits, treat the people well, and accumulate blessings for the children."

Did Xie Yuchuan just say it casually, or was he overthinking it?

Children.

Children...?

We!

Li Zhouquan's blood boiled and he ran all the way back to the bedroom and pulled his sleeping wife out of the quilt.

"Madam! Madam! Shall we have a baby?"

Pah! A slap knocked Lord Li to the ground.

"Go to sleep! What are you doing so crazy in the middle of the night?"

Later, Lord Li gave birth to twins safely. A large table of tribute was placed in the yard. He kowtowed to the north to express his gratitude for most of the night and even wanted to build a statue and a temple for the Xie family's god. But that's a story for later.

After a lot of trouble before leaving, Xie Yuchuan and Xie Wuying returned to the Xie family safely, and those who were asleep woke up one after another.

Mrs. Xie was very happy to see her grandson come back.

"I'm glad you're safe. Did they give you any trouble?"

"No."

Xie Wuying next to him seemed to have grown up overnight. He had a lot of things in his heart but dared not say them, because on the way back, his sixth brother said that it was not appropriate tonight to deal with the matter of the family god, and they should wait until they got out of Songjiang to see. If it was not peaceful, he would go straight out of the pass and tell his family.

Xie Wuying nodded repeatedly.

Xie Wenjie noticed his strange expression and looked at his face, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Wuying thought to himself, I feel so uncomfortable!

Xie Yuchuan wrote a simple explanation for the gift sent by Songjiang County Magistrate Li Zhouquan and gave it to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie was a very smart person. Seeing that her grandson's words had hidden meaning, she didn't ask any more questions and asked the family to put it away.

As Xiong Jiushan and other leading officials returned, many exiled prisoners were also awakened by the sounds of arrangements over there.

It's almost dawn.

The officers began to turn off the engines and collect the accounts one after another. They held sticks and shouted at people to move one by one. If anyone didn't move, they would hit them with sticks!

You don’t understand what I’m saying, right?

The Xie family also began to pack their bags.

Xie Yuchuan faced the north city gate and sniffed, but he no longer smelled the fragrance that he had smelled when the family god arrived.

My heart suddenly felt empty, as if something was missing.

Seeing that Xie Yuchuan had returned safely to the Xie family, Tu Huan went back to the villa opposite.

Everyone was busy preparing for the journey.

Change of defense at 11:00 AM.

There was a sudden movement on the city wall!

Xie Yuchuan looked up.

Before the time came, the north city gate was forcefully opened by two teams of people.

A Pegasus charged forward, the rider holding a flag and shouting:

"Border emergency!!! Get out of the way!!!"
