After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 362 Reward

Qing He observed more carefully: "However, I see that Captain Hu and the others look unhappy. Could something have happened?"

"It's probably because the city gates are closed. Last year, during the snowstorm, many of the herdsmen's cattle and sheep froze to death. This year, there are far fewer of them. Captain Hu and his men should have been planning to go out and buy directly from the herdsmen, but now..."

Lin Shuyue didn't say anything else, and Qinghe and Qingzhi understood what she meant.

Just now when we were having dinner in the restaurant, many of the customers dressed in businessmen were in low spirits. I guess they were also worried about this matter.

Although there are many hunters in the villages near Yangcheng, the furs they have are just a drop in the bucket for the merchants who come to Yangcheng to purchase goods. The bulk of their supply still comes from the herdsmen outside the Great Wall.

Moreover, if a fight really breaks out, the city will be affected to some extent, and it is hard to say whether this trip will pay off.

However, this is not something they need to worry about, they just come to have fun.

Time flies by as we eat, drink and have fun every day.

In the past few days, they have traveled all over Yangcheng, even visiting small street stalls.

After touring the city, Lin Shuyue took them to hunt in the mountains closest to Yangcheng.

The four of them were having so much fun that they didn't want to leave.

That evening, Lin Shuyue took Qinghe, Qingzhi and Gousheng back from hunting. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, they heard someone calling her from behind.

"Miss Lin!"

Captain Li, wearing armor, rode up to her with several of his men.

Lin Shuyue smiled when she saw him: "Captain Li, it's you. It's been a while since we last met. I hope you are doing well."

Captain Li grinned, glanced at Qinghe and Qingzhi who had changed back into women's clothes, and then saw the little girl in Qinghe's arms. A look of doubt flashed across his face, but he knew his limits and didn't ask.

When he saw the roe deer, wild goats, wild deer, pheasants and other prey hanging on their horses' backs, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: "Miss Lin, are you back from hunting? You have quite a catch."

"It's okay, just routine operation."

Lin Shuyue raised her chin slightly, smiled playfully, and asked him again: "Captain Li, are you going into the city?"

Captain Li waved his hand and explained, "I was going to go into the city to look for you, but I just happened to meet you at the city gate, so I don't have to go in."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his bosom and handed it to her: "Here, take it. This is a reward from our general for you."

"Reward?" Lin Shuyue didn't reach out her hand, but just looked at him puzzledly.

"Yes, as a reward. You killed so many bandits before, which can be considered as getting rid of harm to the people."

Captain Li explained, then took a few steps closer and continued in a low voice, "The most important thing is that you helped us capture the second-in-command and happened to uncover the Turkic conspiracy. You have performed a great service."

Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows. So that's how it is.

As for what the conspiracy was, that was not something she could know, so she didn't ask.

Captain Li smiled and pushed the box toward her. "Take it. The general has instructed me to deliver this reward."

"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command. Please ask Captain Li to thank the general on my behalf." Lin Shuyue took the small box and saluted him.

"Of course, of course. We'll take our leave now." Captain Li said as he was about to leave.

"Captain Li, wait a moment."

Lin Shuyue called him and then signaled Qinghe and Qingzhi to unload a wild deer, a wild goat, and a few pheasants from the horse's back and send them to Captain Li's horse.

"Captain Li, take these wild animals back with you. If you kill too many, we won't be able to finish them all."

Captain Li wanted to refuse, but Lin Shuyue was very firm in her attitude, so he had to ride away with the wild animals.

When they turned around, Captain Li's men couldn't hide their joy. They could have an extra meal tonight.

After they left, Lin Shuyue opened the box. When she saw what was inside, she was stunned.

There were three hundred-liang silver notes on the top of the box, and a piece of paper at the bottom, but she recognized it as a house deed at a glance.

I opened the title deed and took a look. The area was not large, so it should be the title deed for a small courtyard.

But why did the general Lieutenant Li mentioned give her a house? She didn't plan to live in Yangcheng for a long time.

Lin Shuyue suppressed her doubts, put away the deed, and said to Qinghe, Qingzhi, and Chen An, "Let's go. I'll take you to see our new house."

"That's great, we don't have to stay in the inn." Qingzhi cheered.

After entering the city, the group of four followed the address on the property deed and finally found the small courtyard in a quiet alley in East City.

It is called a small courtyard, but it is actually not small.

Pushing open the gate, you will see an open space with a well, a stone table and stone benches, and a jujube tree against the wall.

There are five rooms in the house, a main room, a main hall, two side rooms side by side at the lower left of the main room, and a west side room and kitchen at the lower right.

The toilet is behind the house, and there is a piece of wasteland next to it. It can be seen that someone used to live here.

What interested Lin Shuyue the most was the earthen kang in the room. It looked somewhat similar to the earthen kang in Northeast China in her previous life, except that the workmanship was a little cruder.

"This is the earthen kang. It should be very warm to sleep on it in winter." Qinghe and Qingzhi touched it curiously.

Both of them are from the south and have slept on wooden beds since childhood. This is their first time seeing the earthen kang in the north.

After looking at the house, Qinghe and Qingzhi took the initiative to stay and clean it, and Lin Shuyue took Chen An back to the inn first.

Halfway through the journey, Lin Shuyue keenly noticed someone looking at her from the left, so she followed their gaze.

Hey, another acquaintance.

At the entrance of the teahouse on the left, Hu San and Lian Bao were looking at her with frowns, with some hesitation on their faces, as if they wanted to recognize her but didn't dare to.

Lin Shuyue took Chen An's hand and walked in front of them, looking at them with a smile: "Captain Hu, how are you?"

You...you are really...the three Lin brothers?"

Hu San and Lian Bao looked at her in shock, their mouths opened into an O shape.

They just thought that her figure and appearance were somewhat similar to the three Lin brothers, but they didn't dare to think that they were the same person.

After seeing Lin Shuyue nod, the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Lin Shuyue glanced at the guests coming in and out and invited them both, "Captain Hu, Brother Lian, how about we go into the teahouse and sit down and chat?"

It just so happened that she had something to tell them.

"Oh, good."

Hu San and Lian Bao followed her into the teahouse in a daze.

Only after sitting down and drinking a cup of tea did the two of them finally come to their senses.

"Captain Hu, Brother Lian, I'm truly sorry. Ah Yue didn't mean to hide anything. I just wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble when I was away from home, so I dressed like a man."

Lin Shuyue took the lead in offering the two of them a cup of tea to apologize.
