After the system ran, I took off with my family

"Da da da..."

The four men rode their horses quickly to the tea stall. At this time, there were already a few people inside the stall resting and drinking tea.

The shop owner was an honest middle-aged man, and there was a waiter in the teahouse serving tea to the guests.

After tying up the horses, the four of them walked into the tea shed.

"Dear guests, what would you like to order?" the shopkeeper greeted them warmly.

After finding an empty seat and sitting down, Qing He looked around the teahouse and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any other food besides tea?"

"Sir, in addition to tea, we also have noodle soup." The shopkeeper replied loudly.

After asking Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuyuan what they thought, Qinghe looked at the store owner and said, "Then give us four bowls of herbal tea and four bowls of noodle soup."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The shopkeeper responded and left.

After a while, the servant brought four bowls of herbal tea to the four of them. The herbal tea was made from dandelions and tasted a bit strange. Lin Shuyue took a sip and put down the bowl. Lin Shuyuan was not picky and finished the herbal tea in a few sips.

After a while, the shop owner brought four bowls of noodle soup. Some chopped green onions were sprinkled on the soup, which looked very appetizing. The four of them were a little hungry, so they picked up their chopsticks and started to eat.

"Well, it's quite delicious." Lin Shuyue praised, and Lin Shuyuan nodded in agreement.

When the four of them were eating happily, a shouting and cursing suddenly came from the side.

"You beggar, stay away from me, I stink!" A fat-faced man at the next table stared ferociously at an old man in tattered clothes at the next table.

The old man had a hunched back, gray hair, dry and rough skin on his face, and his dull eyes stared blankly at the man at the next table, but he quickly lowered his head.

He finished the noodle soup in the bowl in big mouthfuls, picked up a stick on the table, walked to the shop owner with the stick, handed him the money for the noodle soup, then hobbled out of the tea stall, came to the official road, and slowly walked towards Sishui County.

The shopkeeper looked at the figure walking on the official road and sighed, "Poor guy..."

Lin Shuyue was a little curious and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you know that old man?"

Seeing the four people's curious expressions, the store owner pulled a stool and sat next to them, and asked mysteriously: "Do you know where he came from?"

The four of them shook their heads.

"This old man's surname is Liu. He came from Wanhe County, and he walked here on foot." said the shopkeeper.

The four were very shocked when they heard this. Lin Shuyuan's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "Wanhe County is a day's journey away even if you ride a horse. How long would it take for that old man to walk?"

The shopkeeper sighed and said softly, "I also heard about this from a guest who was stopping by. He said that this old man Liu was from Da Liu Village in Wanhe County.

Ten years ago, Da Liu Village was attacked by pirates. Only about twenty people survived in the entire village, and Old Man Liu was one of them.

Old man Liu's family was small, and the couple had only one son. Later, when the son grew up, he got married and had children, and had a son and a daughter. The originally harmonious family was left with only old man Liu because of this disaster.

From then on, Old Man Liu sat on the rocks by the sea in a daze every day. The villagers were worried that he would become depressed, so someone told Old Man Liu that they saw his young granddaughter being rescued by a merchant who stayed overnight in Da Liu Village that night.

The man had good intentions and wanted to give Old Liu a chance to live, but when Old Liu heard this, he was so excited that he burst into tears on the spot and hurriedly asked around about the whereabouts of the vendor.

That night, there was indeed a merchant from Sishui County who stayed overnight in Daliu Village, and Old Man Liu mistakenly believed that his granddaughter was taken back to Sishui County by the merchant.

So he set out on a journey to find his granddaughter. At first, he took a caravan to Sishui County. Later, when his money ran out, he looked for work in various fishing villages, helping people repair fishing nets and dry goods to earn money. After saving enough money, he continued on his journey.

Later, someone couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but tell him the truth. After listening, Old Man Liu didn't say anything for a long time, and finally went home trembling.

Just when the villagers thought he would give up, the next day he slowly walked up the official road with a stick, heading towards Sishui County.

Strangely, when he reached the territory of Sishui County, he did not leave the official road. Instead, he stayed on the official road and looked at Sishui County for one night. After daybreak, he started walking back to Wanhe County.

When he passed by my teahouse, he would come in to eat a bowl of noodle soup or drink a bowl of tea. "

The four of them were silent after hearing this. After a while, Lin Shuyue said with emotion: "Maybe Old Man Liu knows everything in his heart, but he still has a little thought."

The shopkeeper nodded and sighed, "Although everyone calls him Old Man Liu, he is actually less than 50 years old. He has become an old man in his sixties. This pirate really deserves to be struck by lightning."

Lin Shuyuan looked at the official road and secretly vowed to kill all the evil pirates.

After paying the bill, the four of them mounted their horses and continued on their journey.

Along the way, Lin Shuyuan was thinking about Old Man Liu, and the whip in his hand was unconsciously swinging faster and faster.

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Lin Shuyue guessed the reason, but did not ask any more questions and just quickened her pace.

After hurrying along, the four of them arrived at Wanhe County at 9:00 p.m. the next day.

The Zhenhaisi’s headquarters was on the seashore right in front of Wanhe County, so they needed to pass through Wanhe County to get there.

On the way, they passed many villages and towns. Except for the coastal villages, the rest of the places were no different from Sishui County, where people all made a living by farming.

During the trip, the four of them passed through the county town of Wanhe County. The county town was very lively, with the shouts of vendors, the aroma of food from the food shops, and the bargaining of vendors in the dry goods shops. It was a bustling, lively and peaceful place.

Because they were in a hurry, the four of them did not stay for long. They went straight through the county town and galloped towards the station on horseback.

Half an hour later, the sea breeze mixed with a faint smell of the sea blew in their faces. The four people looked into the distance and saw three tall watchtowers clearly visible in front of them. They knew that they were almost at their destination.

When they got closer, the four of them looked around the garrison. The entire garrison was surrounded by a wall made of oyster shells and granite, so they couldn't see what was inside. There were steep stone walls on both sides of the garrison.

"Stop! Who are you?"

As soon as they reached the foot of the city wall, one of the guards guarding the city gate scolded the four people.

The four of them dismounted, and Lin Shuyuan took out the jade pendant Xiao Zhennian had given him and handed it to the guard, "Big brother, my name is Lin Shuyuan, and I'm here to Zhenhai Division to look for Lord Xiao Zhennian."

The guard carefully looked through the jade pendant engraved with auspicious cloud patterns and was slightly surprised. He then returned the jade pendant to Lin Shuyuan and said, "Please follow me. I will take you to see the Governor."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Shuyue and her servants and said, "Please wait here, ladies. The military camp is an important place. Without the order of the Governor, women are not allowed to enter."
