Although there are some minor shortcomings, as long as his son returns safely, that's more important than anything else!

Thinking about this, Magistrate Liu really wanted to praise the weapon He Tiantian had given him. What kind of weapon was this? It was incredibly useful!

Magistrate Liu looked at He Tiantian excitedly and said gratefully, "The reason we were able to lead our men deep into the mountain stronghold this time is thanks to the weapons provided by the He family."

Liu Chuyu and the county magistrate's wife, not knowing what was going on, looked at He Tiantian with confusion.

What kind of weapon? Could we show it to them?

Liu Chuyu was always particularly interested in these things; the bow and arrow that Aunt He gave him had already shocked him enough.

Could there be some more powerful weapon that he doesn't know about?

"Dad, what's that?" Liu Chuyu asked impatiently.

Magistrate Liu chuckled twice. "They said it was some kind of electric baton that could instantly knock someone unconscious upon contact. They tried it this time and easily subdued that group of bandits."

He Tiantian was quite embarrassed. If it weren't for saving Liu Chuyu, she would never have handed something like this over to the government.

Now that things have come to this, she has to come up with a suitable reason.

"This thing is good, but it can't be used often." Thinking of this, He Tiantian explained, "In short, it's dangerous to leave it in places where people can come into contact with it because it can knock people unconscious."

"Secondly, if this thing is kept around for a long time, it will have a significant impact on a person's health. That is... it can make people sick, and it's incurable."

He Tiantian had already decided to exaggerate the worst possible outcome to completely dispel Magistrate Liu's idea of ​​making this thing widely available.

“Ah…” Magistrate Liu felt very sorry.

He thought he had discovered something valuable, and that if he reported it to the prefect, he would be highly commended.

He Tiantian continued, "Once these bandits are all caught, we'll have to trouble the magistrate to retrieve all these items. We'll keep them as reserves; they'll definitely come in handy when Chu Yu becomes a general and goes to the battlefield. Besides, these stun guns will become useless if used for too long, and they can't be made anymore."

Upon hearing that he would be a general on the battlefield, Liu Chuyu felt her heart pound with excitement.

If he has this thing in the future, wouldn't he be invincible?

Of course, the magistrate and his wife thought the same way; they naturally wanted to leave the best things to their son.

Thinking of this, Magistrate Liu cupped his hands and said, "Very well, I will have someone guard this thing. When we return in triumph, I will take all the stun guns back."

He Tiantian nodded.

Now that Liu Chuyu has returned safely, Magistrate Liu can go and wipe out the bandits of Wumeng Mountain without any scruples.

At noon, everyone stayed at He Tiantian's house for lunch.

The whole family worked hard for a long time and cooked quite a lot of dishes.

Besides steaming white rice, I also stir-fried rabbit meat, braised beef with potatoes, and several vegetarian dishes.

Of course, the most novel thing is the preserved egg made by Zhao Denglong.

At first, Magistrate Liu and his wife hesitated to approach the dark place.

Liu Chuyu, on the other hand, was someone who dared to try new things. He picked up a piece of the preserved egg, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.

"Hey, it feels pretty good!" Liu Chuyu praised.

Black and yellow preserved eggs, a little minced garlic, a splash of vinegar, and then a piece of tofu—mix it all together. It's absolutely delicious!

Magistrate Liu, holding his chopsticks tremblingly, also picked up a piece and tasted it.

It actually tastes pretty good; it's not as bad as I imagined.

Magistrate Liu personally placed a piece on his wife's plate, saying, "Madam, you should try some too."

Seeing that everyone looked like it was delicious, the magistrate's wife also dared to try some.

After the meal, Magistrate Liu was about to lead his men up Wumeng Mountain again.

Magistrate Liu made a solemn vow, claiming that even if he had to turn the mountain upside down, he would imprison all those bandits.

Before leaving, the county magistrate's wife gave him many instructions.

In the afternoon, the magistrate's wife also prepared to take her leave. Because Liu Chuyu's injuries had not yet fully healed, the magistrate's wife instructed He Tiantian to take good care of him, and that she would visit her son every day thereafter.

Without the magistrate's permission, she did not take her son back on her own.

Liu Chuyu only suffered superficial injuries, and she was back to her old self after a day of rest.

He Tiantian's shop resumed business as usual, and customers came and went in an endless stream every day.

Liu Chuyu seemed to be working even harder than before. He was very eager to show off and volunteered to do any job in the shop.

However, when Zhao Dahai and Zhao Xiangbei came to help in the morning, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Knowing Liu Chuyu's identity, they no longer dared to joke and laugh with him as before.

The two of them wanted to take on all the work in the shop themselves, afraid of neglecting Liu Chuyu.

He Tiantian had some free time, so she stood at the door looking around.

She also wanted to know how the other shops were doing and what new things they were selling.

In the bustling crowd, He Tiantian saw a familiar figure riding a tall horse slowly approaching.

As the man drew closer, He Tiantian greeted him with a cheerful smile: "Director Song!"

When Song Yun saw He Tiantian standing at the shop entrance, he almost didn't recognize her.

He hadn't seen Aunt He for a long time, especially not seeing her dressed so brightly today.

Song Yun was stunned for a second before he realized what was happening.

He quickly dismounted and handed the whip to Afu beside him.
