Tongqu County, as one of the counties closest to the Ten Thousand Mountains in the southwest, is not a prosperous county due to its location, and farming is mainly based on dryland agriculture. The county has a population of tens of thousands, but most of them are mountain hunters.
Perhaps because it is too remote, the people in Tongqu County are simple and honest, but because it is close to the mountains and forests and faces the challenges of wild beasts, it also has a strong martial spirit.
In the afternoon, the sunlight fades.
Su Rui sat on the stone lion at the gate of the county government office with his chin in his hand, in a daze.
It has been three days since I traveled to this world.
homesick!
Although he is just a person with no house, no car and no job on earth, he can still happily live off his parents!
Of course, he can also rely on his parents after traveling through time, but the current feudal world is a bit similar to the ancient Tang and Song dynasties. How can it be compared with the Earth with extremely rich material and spiritual activities.
If he could go back, he might not be willing to exchange it for the throne!
Well, not necessarily!
However, compared to being a small yamen official, he still hopes to travel back in time.
"Erlang, Madam is looking for you everywhere!"
A deep voice sounded like thunder in Su Rui's ears, pulling Su Rui out of his homesickness.
Su Rui knew who the person was without even looking up because of the loud voice.
Sure enough, he was soon taken down from the stone lion by a man who looked like a giant bear.
"Boss Wu, weren't you supposed to be on duty today? Why did you run out..."
"The weather is nice today, and you have some free time. Can you teach me martial arts?"
This man is the chief constable of Tongqu County and Su Rui's father's number one thug. He is known as the Eight-Armed Bear. Not only is he good at external martial arts, he is also a master of hidden weapons, hence the nickname.
Wu, the head of the police force, had a very dignified appearance, with a dark face, a big mouth, wide eyes, and a full beard, giving him a fierce and menacing look. The child who had just moved in next door was frightened and started crying when he took one look at him.
The first day Su Rui saw him after traveling through time, she was almost scared to death. She thought she had traveled through time to Liu Bei's camp during the Three Kingdoms period and met the fierce Zhang Fei.
Fortunately, he was just a soul traveling across time and space, and inherited the memories of the county magistrate's second son, the young yamen official. He knew that although this guy looked fierce, he was an orderly and good person who would not hurt others easily, so he put his mind at ease.
After finding out that there was no threat, Su Rui became very interested in him. Having such a strong brother as a bodyguard must make one feel very safe!
The young master was possessed by Su Rui's soul because he caught a cold and fell ill. For the past two days, he used the excuse of feeling unwell to hide himself and didn't dare to contact anyone close to him.
On the contrary, he met Captain Wu several times. The former young master was frightened by his appearance and did not dare to contact him. The two were not familiar with each other, so Su Rui did not feel any pressure to contact him.
After meeting each other twice and greeting each other a few times, Su Rui thought that they were acquaintances, so he planned to get in touch with Brother Mengjiang by learning martial arts.
Of course, learning martial arts wasn't entirely an excuse. As a passionate man from Earth, who didn't dream of roaming the world with a sword? Moreover, in a world without antibiotics, a cold could be fatal, like that real little yamen. Even if learning martial arts didn't allow him to fight, it should still help boost his immunity.
The head of the Wu Constable looked rough, but he was actually quite delicate. He didn't agree to teach martial arts outright, but instead said, "There have been a lot of thieves in the county lately. Erlang, please return to the county office. I'm in a hurry to get some information. We'll talk about martial arts when you get back!"
"Boss Wu, I want to learn the Swallow Dart...please teach me!" Su Rui pulled him and insisted, saying that only the crying child gets the milk.
After traveling through time and space, he became a nine-year-old boy who looked very thin. Pulling Captain Wu was like pulling a giant bear.
Captain Wu, probably afraid of hurting him, didn't dare to use any force, and let him pull. He hesitated, "Erlang, you're still young, so you're only suitable for studying. Wait... wait until you grow up, and I'll teach you martial arts."
"The book says that when I'm nine, it's the perfect time to learn martial arts..."
"The inner one is internal strength, and I have to practice external strength after I reach adulthood!" Captain Wu said nonsense seriously.
An honest man's lies are clearly visible on his face. Su Rui wasn't a real nine-year-old after all, so he could tell at a glance that this guy was making excuses and refusing to teach. Just as he was about to insist, Captain Wu suddenly perked up.
"You little thief, don't run..."
Before he finished speaking, he quickly used his strength to break free from Su Rui's pull and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.
Su Rui watched him disappear, speechless.
This guy looks rough but is very cunning. When he sees that the situation is not right, he immediately takes the opportunity to run away.
After Captain Wu left, Su Rui lost interest in daydreaming. Just then, the maid came out and he followed her back to the inner courtyard behind the county government office.
A wealthy woman in her thirties was embroidering. When she saw Su Rui, she put down her work, pulled him to her side, and reached out to touch his forehead.
After finding that there was nothing serious, he let go of the chubby big hand.
"Erlang, do you feel better today? Mother made some chicken soup for you. I'll have Hehua bring it over later. Drink it while it's hot."
The woman said softly, dotingly.
"I know, Mom!"
Su Rui hurriedly escaped from the woman's control. Although he was only nine years old physically, his mental age was already in his twenties. He panicked when he was suddenly doted on by a strange woman.
In fact, he was more afraid that after traveling through time, his original parents would find out that he was not their child and burn him as a monster.
Time travel is too mysterious. He used amnesia as an excuse to block out many unanswered questions!
Fortunately, the original soul in the body has disappeared. Although the remaining memory fragments have a tendency to be close to women, they have not affected Su Rui's thinking ability.
