Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Harvesting a Big Horse Carriage

However, he quickly cast aside this strange mood.

As the two emerged from the side room, they happened to meet the County Magistrate who was coming to knock on their door.

Seeing that he was still there, both were somewhat surprised.

"You..."

They had thought that the County Magistrate would leave after showing them to the guest room.

The County Magistrate, looking embarrassed, apologized profusely, "I was just coming to check on you two young friends. I’m truly sorry; today my consideration was lacking. I ordered such strong spirits for you; next time I will be sure to pay more attention."

"You just need to drink three cups as a self-punishment," Bai Junjun seriously replied.

After all, just now, the County Magistrate had used the officialdom’s tactics on them, and they hadn’t eaten much food when the wine started coming cup after cup.

And they, inexperienced and unafraid of death, drank one cup after another without hesitation.

Now that Bai Junjun had sobered up and reflected on it, she realized that if they hadn’t drunk so fiercely from the start, perhaps they wouldn’t have gotten so drunk so quickly.

It was all about experience!

Bai Junjun felt that if she drank again in the future, she certainly wouldn’t get as disgracefully drunk.

Li Wenli felt the same profound agreement.

The two newcomers to the world of drinking had started their career of "living to eat and drink" by having one of the top three strongest liquors, marking a good beginning.

The County Magistrate, however, did not expect Bai Junjun’s first words to be this and was caught between laughter and tears.

"How about, we continue tonight?"

Both of them glanced at the sky and shook their heads in unison, "We need to go home now."

After all, there were a few little ones at home busily making watermelon jam.

The County Magistrate did not press them to stay, knowing that the young warriors were temporarily staying in Xinding Village, and offered to arrange a couple of sedans for them.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were somewhat disdainful of the offer; they could walk there faster than that.

"If you really want to send us off, why not send a horse carriage instead?" Li Wenli said with a smile.

Ever since he fell into the river, he hadn’t ridden in a horse carriage for quite some time.

The County Magistrate was startled; after all, he only had one horse carriage and would normally hesitate to use it, only employing it when he had official business far from home.

After all, horses had become rare after the war.

"I will gift one to our two knight-errants!"

Before the County Magistrate had a chance to offer his own, a crisp voice came from below.

Looking down, everyone saw Shopkeeper Yan greeting them from downstairs with a jovial expression.

"It is an honor for Dongsheng Tavern to make the acquaintance of two such distinguished young warriors. Moreover, since you have resolved Dai County’s troubles, it’s as if you have resolved Dongsheng Tavern’s troubles as well. Not to mention a single horse carriage, Dongsheng Tavern’s fine wines and dishes will always be ready for the two young warriors."

Seeing the madam act like this, it was clear that the County Magistrate had already informed her of their heroic deed.

But this was something the County Magistrate would sooner or later proclaim throughout the town; besides, there were many onlookers when they took the criminals to the Yamen today.

Now that Shopkeeper Yan was aware as well, it made no difference.

The County Magistrate, seeing Shopkeeper Yan trying to win hearts, said, "How can we take Shopkeeper Yan’s property? My horse carriage will suffice for the young warriors."

"Look at what you’re saying. You, a government official as clean as the wind, only have one horse carriage, and don’t think I don’t know that you use it only when you travel far for official duties.

If you really gave away your carriage, what will you do for your official duties later? Walk? That won’t do! Delaying our Dai County’s public affairs wouldn’t be good.

While I have three carriages in my stable, these carriages were originally intended for the convenience of distinguished guests. With the world in such chaos, there are hardly any distinguished guests traveling around anymore. It’s better to use them to facilitate the young warriors’ travel."

"Thank you," Bai Junjun said, accepting the offer without demur.

Shopkeeper Yan then led them cheerfully to the stable.
