Just right, there is a pair of red five-finger marks on both sides of the face, very symmetrical.

Xiaoguo didn't know his age at first and could only guess, thinking he was about 40 or 50 years old. After slapping him, she felt a little guilty.

But when I found out that he was only 28 years old, I instantly felt calm.

If we round it up, we are all in our twenties, so we are the same age. It doesn't matter if we slap him once, twice, infinitely, or a group of people beat him up.

After dinner, Xiaoguo and Jiang Shanhe had to go to the yamen to verify whether Shu Botong's words were true or not.

In order to save time, the two decided to go there on horseback.

After Jiang Shanhe carried Xiaoguo onto the horse, he was about to climb onto the horse when someone suddenly touched his shoulder.

Looking back, Shu Botong was crossing his arms and looking at him with shining eyes, as if saying to him, I'm ready.

Xiao Guo lowered his head, and just before Jiang Shanhe hit him, he grabbed him and said to Shu Botong, "Didn't I tell you to go back first?"

Shu Botong just raised his arms and said nothing, being extremely stubborn.

Seeing that she was about to lose control of Jiang Shanhe, Xiaoguo quickly got off the horse, went to the noodle shop and asked for a pot of sour plum soup, which finally coaxed him.

After Shu Botong left happily with the teapot, Xiao Guo took the unhappy Jiang Shanhe and left on horseback.

"What's wrong? Jiang Shanhe? Shanhe?"

After Jiang Shanhe carried her onto the horse, he remained silent, and no matter how Xiaoguo coaxed her, she remained silent.

In the end, there was really no other way, Xiaoguo pretended to be impatient and turned her head away to ignore him.

The two of them played the game of you ignore me and I ignore you on horseback.

Jiang Shanhe lost his temper first and reached out his free hand to touch her.

Xiaoguo ignored it.

Jiang Shanhe bumped into him again.

Xiaoguo still ignored it.

Just like that, after a while, Xiaoguo couldn't help laughing, and when she laughed, Jiang Shanhe also laughed.

Seeing him smile, Xiao Guo turned to look at him, "Now can you tell me why?"

"Why why?"

Jiang Shanhe looked at him as if to say, "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that." Xiaoguo teased him and hit him with her elbow.

"Hurry up and tell me."

"No reason at all." Jiang Shanhe was rarely shy. He felt that he was entangled in trivial matters. If he told her about it, would she think he was petty?

So, whether to say it or not, Jiang Shanhe was entangled for a long time, all the way to the gate of the government office.

Just as Xiaoguo was about to go inside, Jiang Shanhe took action and grabbed her arm, "Do you really want to take care of him for the rest of his life?"

"Who?"

Xiaoguo didn't react at once. Who should he take care of for the rest of his life?

"Sloppy."

"Shu Bo Tong?"

"Sloppy."

When Jiang Shanhe heard Xiaoguo calling his name, his face instantly darkened, so he deliberately repeated the word "sloppy".

Xiao Guo suddenly laughed and asked softly, "Are you unhappy?"

"I can't say whether I'm happy or not, it's just..."

Jiang Shanhe still felt a little awkward at this point and didn't want to make it clear, hoping Xiaoguo could understand.

"Oh, that's all right then."

Xiaoguo knew what he wanted to say, but just to tease him, she pretended not to understand.

Jiang Shanhe's face turned red, and he followed Xiaoguo without saying anything.

Xiaoguo was walking in front, and when he reached the steps, he pretended to miss a step and was about to fall, preparing to give him a small step.

Sure enough, although Jiang Shanhe was secretly angry with Xiaoguo, he was still watching her every move. When he saw that she was about to fall, he quickly grabbed her and brought her back to his arms by inertia.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I'm here with you."

Because you are here, everything is fine.

Jiang Shanhe understood what she meant, and felt so happy that all the awkwardness disappeared, leaving only happiness.

Seeing that he was happy, Xiaoguo was also happy. At this point, they both smiled.

When they arrived at the entrance of the government office and waited for the messenger to report, Jiang Shanhe said seriously, "Why don't I buy you a piece of land nearby?"

"No, why would I spend money on a house that I can get for free? I'm just going to take care of him for the rest of his life. At most, I'll just take care of his food and drink. It's simple."

Xiaoguo looked inside as he spoke, wondering how come he had been gone for such a long time and still hadn't come out.

"Besides, I can even have him work for free in the future. After opening the store, there will be a lot of things to do, and having him here will save me a lot of trouble."

Seeing that Xiaoguo was very thoughtful, Jiang Shanhe gave up trying to persuade him and said that he was just a patient and there was no need to worry.

After figuring it out, Jiang Shanhe, in a good mood, took off a sign from his waist and showed it to the officer guarding the gate.

When the officer saw them, he immediately bowed and welcomed the two men in.

Xiao Guo followed behind and looked at Jiang Shanhe helplessly. What a man!

–

The officer who made the report was new and had no experience. When someone came to see the county magistrate, he didn't know who to ask or what the matter was. As soon as he heard that the county magistrate was there, he ran over to report, but he knew nothing about anything.

Therefore, when reporting, only a rough description of the two people's appearance was given, and it was not very specific.

The county magistrate is not someone who anyone can see. Hearing what he said, I concluded that he was not an important person, so I simply did not rush to meet him.

At this time, County Magistrate Liu was lying comfortably in a rocking chair, surrounded by beauties, feeding him grapes on one side and fanning him on the other, feeling so happy.

So when they saw Jiang Shanhe appear, they were frightened to no end.

He fell off the chair with a thud, and his fat body trembled rhythmically.

"I'm sorry for not welcoming you, General." County Magistrate Liu quickly got up and put on his clothes, smiling, and pushed the women who were close to him away with his hands, "Go away!"

Xiaoguo silently turned his head away and looked elsewhere. He was really jealous.

Jiang Shanhe didn't have any opinion on his behavior. It was none of his business. As long as he loved the people and the country and worked for the people, he would be a good official. Being lustful was not a problem.

After Jiang Shanhe explained the purpose of his visit, County Magistrate Liu was in a daze for a while. After a while, he suddenly realized and said, "It turns out to be about Shu Botong..."

The real situation was consistent with what Shu Botong said, but after listening to what County Magistrate Liu said, Xiao Guo suddenly had a guess: Could Shu Botong be schizophrenic? !

The two also saw the deed to Shubotong's temporary property here.

"That day, Shu Botong suddenly came to the government office and said that for safety reasons, he handed the land deed to me for safekeeping. Speaking of which, he is really pitiful..."

County Magistrate Liu recalled the scene of that day and sighed for him. If Shu Botong's family had not fallen into poverty, it would be hard to say who would have taken his position.

Xiaoguo suddenly remembered the ghost rumor that Shu Botong had told before. Since he wanted someone to buy his house, why did he spread such a rumor?

"Before Shu Botong went crazy, he was able to protect the only house. Once he went crazy, some people's minds became active and he had no choice but to dress up as a ghost to scare people. He did scare away a group of people with bad intentions. He was just looking at people to serve them. He had to choose the next owner of the house himself."

County Magistrate Liu knows everything about the county, big or small. He is a bit lustful, but he is an official based on his real ability. Although he occasionally wants to take shortcuts and back doors, and has some small ideas, he is still obsessed with the idea of ​​doing practical things for the people.

County Magistrate Liu would not give the title deed directly to the two of them, but would directly ask the master to go with them. No matter what, they would not testify and hand over the title deed until they heard Shu Botong's personal consent.

"This County Magistrate Liu is pretty good at being an official~"

Xiao Guo spoke to Jiang Shanhe in a low voice so that the master who was following behind could not hear.
