The indomitable spirit of drawing swords at the county government office of Siluo Water

  Mother tiger, no! Liu Yimeng finally arrived at the county government office, but was stunned by the scene in front of her.

  A lonely, dilapidated house stood in the fading light of sunset, like a beggar shivering with cold and hunger. The originally crimson paint on the gate and pillars had faded into patches of peeling due to years of neglect. The sparse and broken walls were full of holes, and even the stone lions at the entrance were incomplete, one of them missing a leg. Layers of dust covered the steps.

  "Are we on the wrong road?" Liu Yimiao blinked, looking up at a sign hanging diagonally above the door frame, which could still vaguely be identified as having been the office of Luoshui County.

  "It should be, let's ask someone." Jiao Hua nodded in agreement, and with a glance, she saw four people who looked like captors leaning against the stone lion at the side. She walked over and asked softly, "Brother, is this the Yamen of Luoshui County?"

  Four catchers were leaning against the stone lion and dozing off. Someone walked near, but they didn't notice. Suddenly hearing a voice, one of them gradually woke up. He adjusted his crooked hat, opened his sleepy eyes, and looked at the person asking questions.

  "My god, a ghost!" He let out a terrified cry and his legs went weak, almost falling to the ground.

  The other three were also startled awake by him, and they jumped up one after another, their hands directly reaching for the knives at their waists, grasping the handles and making a move to pull them out. The delicate flower was instantly frightened pale.

  "Which demon dares to provoke your grandfather Sun!" The catcher Sun, with a ferocious face, drew his knife, but it didn't come out on the first pull. On the second pull, it still didn't come out.

  。

  "It must be rusty inside." He sullenly took off his sword and slammed it onto the stone lion, making a loud "clang clang" sound. "Turtle grandson! See if you dare to come out!"

  Jiao Hua was taken aback for a moment, then shifted her gaze to the other two captors, swallowed hard, and stared at them fixedly.

  "Huang Lao Di, won't your knife also be rusty?" Captain Liu grasped the hilt of his knife, looking at Captain Huang as if to pull it out.

  "No!" Captain Huang shook his head firmly.

  "Why don't you pull it out?!"

  "Why... why didn't you pull it out again?!"

  "Damn, didn't my dad take this knife away two days ago to chop firewood and it got broken?! It's so ugly to pull out a broken knife, if others find out we're using a broken knife, they'll look down on us even more!" Constable Liu reluctantly pulled out the knife, and indeed it was almost completely broken off, leaving only the handle.

  "Ah, so I couldn't take it out either. This knife of mine is fake." Catcher Huang rubbed his head and smiled foolishly, "The other day, I accidentally lost too much and had to pawn the knife. This one was made by me for my son using wood, heh heh, doesn't it look just like a real one?"

  "Get out of my sight! You're really disgracing the face of Luoshui County's magnificent catchers! Little Li, retreat for me!" Catcher Sun finally managed to pull out his rusty knife and shielded Catcher Li behind him, "Where is the demon? Where is it? Come out and take a blow from old Sun!"

  At this time, Jiao Hua's face had turned from white to red, and then from red to green. Dark clouds covered her face, and there was a hidden tendency to explode.

  "Hahaha", three awkward laughs escaped from Liu Yimiao's throat and made a round outside, successfully diverting everyone's attention.

  "Uh, we're here to ask for directions." Liu Yimiao awkwardly rubbed his nose, looking at the fierce faces of the crowd, and forced a smile on his face. "Excuse me, how do we get to Luoshui County Government?"

  "It turned out to be asking for directions, and I said where did the ghost come from in broad daylight!" The expression on Catcher Sun's face eased a bit, but he immediately scowled at Liu Yimeng again. "I'm telling you! You little white face, are your eyes blind? Can't you see such big characters? This is indeed the Luoshui County Government Office!"

  ...... Little white face Liu Yimiao was silent for a moment, and Yan Shenxuan, who had been quietly standing behind her, couldn't help but burst out laughing. His calm eyebrows and eyes opened up with an attractive color, causing the delicate black face to instantly fade away and turn bright red again.

  。

  Liu Yimao was still trying to accept the fact that this was indeed the Luoshui County government office, so she didn't mind Yan Shenxian's rudeness.

  The catchers looked at each other in dismay, Yan Shenxian smiled but didn't speak, Jiao Hua was infatuated with the flower, and for a moment the scene fell silent, leaving only the gentle breeze blowing against the slanting sun, entwining the sky above the Luoshui County government building.

  "My dear old master, I've been waiting for you, watching the stars and the moon, and finally, you're here...!" Suddenly, an old man with a grey-white beard rushed out of the gate, wearing a dark green robe that revealed his thin arms and legs as he ran, looking like he might be blown away by the wind at any moment.

  The old man's grey and white eyeballs turned around among the crowd, finally falling on Jiaohua's embroidered shoes, and he kowtowed with his four limbs on the ground, "Old Wu Si San pays respects to County Magistrate!"

  "Old man, you've got the wrong person, haven't you?" Liu Yimou's mouth twitched, while everyone else had an expression of being unsurprised.

  "Nonsense! My old eyes have seen through the hearts of many people, how could I mistake a person?! Wu Si San sprang up from the ground like a spring as soon as he heard this, "I received news that Master would arrive today, so I ordered these men to wait here since early morning. After waiting for a whole day, only you two appeared! I also received news that the new Master is a woman..." He looked at Jiao Hua and suddenly stuttered, "...good heavens, although not very pleasant to look at, but after all, she's a maiden, who else could it be?!"

  "Who are you calling unrefined, you stinky old man!" Jiao Hua furrowed her brow and scolded loudly, not being polite to him at all.

  "Not you, old master." Wu Si San knew he had misspoken and hastily covered his mouth with his thin fingers, shaking his head vigorously.

  "Then who are you talking about?!" Jiao Hua pressed tightly.

  "I say, say..." The withered branch-like fingers pointed randomly at the four guards standing on watch, sweeping past them, and finally settled on Liu Yimeng, "Look at him, sir. A big man looking so...unseemly!"

  Liu Yimian fell silent for a long time, vowing to herself that she would never wear men's clothes again. Silently, she tore off the men's hat on her head, revealing a waterfall of black hair. She took out the letter of appointment from her bosom and walked over to Wu Siqi, prying open his withered hand and slapping it heavily into his palm, causing Wu Siqi to shudder twice.

  "Yú Yǐ Mò has arrived to take over as the new magistrate of Luoshui County!" She spoke slowly and solemnly, looking at Wu Si San, then turned her head and led the way into the county government office!
