Chapter 005: The Recommendation Letter from the County Magistrate

Jin Zhangfang once quietly told Xiao Tian that Manager Wu has no son, only this precious daughter. It seems that Manager Wu intends to invite Xiao Tian to marry into their family.

The name "Xiao Tian" now seems like an amulet against evil; upon hearing this name, the thugs who come to extort money will immediately take to their heels, running away in a hurry.

... ...

At this moment, Xiao Tian's gaze was not on the letter; he was continuously watching Wu Pannian's silhouette. This girl might have a sharp tongue, but her heart is truly kind.

Wu Pan-nan has increasingly appeared gloomy and dispirited, and the meals prepared seem to lack focus, with the flavors not being as good as before. Manager Wu believes that his beloved daughter is eagerly anticipating Xiao Tian's prompt entry into the family, and he occasionally teases her about it. However, little does Manager Wu know that this "future son-in-law" is about to leave soon

I, Xiao Tian

Wu Pan-nan turned around and walked out, his silhouette appearing somewhat desolate

Xiao Tian had not finished speaking when Wu Pan Nan had already grabbed Xiao Tian's braid and pulled it down: "Are you still going to lie? What is this? Didn't you see yesterday when your braid fell in the backyard? You are going to get yourself killed!"

After more than a month of recovery, the injury on my leg has mostly healed. During this time, all my meals have been delivered to my room by Wu Panman. Each time he brings the food, he silently places it down and then quietly leaves. Once Xiao Tian finishes his meal, Wu Panman will come on time to collect the dishes.

In a month, the two of them exchanged fewer than ten sentences. Everyone knows that the faster Xiao Tian's injury heals, the closer he is to leaving this place

However, my father did not agree, saying that you are someone from the festive shop or something like that. The county magistrate had no choice but to keep that letter, saying that if you are willing, you can go ... ...

It is finally done; a Xiao Tian has emerged.

Xiao Tian walked into the courtyard and stretched his body. In fact, his leg injury was not serious; it was just a small cut. However, Manager Wu had already regarded him as a great hero and insisted that he lie in bed to recuperate.

But now it is different. Whenever such little ruffians come around, the gold account manager will always puff out his chest and say: "Oh, where are the meat and the books? Sir, just wait, Master Xiao Tian Xiao is inside. I will go call Master Xiao out to see how much silver your meat is worth"

The county town of Ziliu is not large, and the news of Xiao Tian cutting meat and drinking wine, as well as the clever acquisition of the precious pearl, quickly spread throughout the entire county town

The longer one remains idle, the quicker one's own sharpness will diminish

It is said that while recovering from his injuries, Chen Shaodong came to visit him, but now the shopkeeper Wu would not show Chen Shaodong any good grace, always finding various excuses to send this second-generation heir away

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper," Wu Pannan gritted his teeth and said, "Father, really, you are an outsider. How could you ask me to do this? Does Father not know that those people are all ruffians and scoundrels?"

I am afraid the only one who is unhappy is Wu Pannan. Ever since Xiao Tian returned, this young lady has not given him a pleasant expression. Girls from Shanxi are like this; they are straightforward and do not keep things to themselves. While helping Xiao Tian change his bandages, she kept nagging him:

It is almost time to leave, but I have no money at all. There is truly no way out, so I can only speak frankly with Manager Wu. Perhaps Manager Wu and the bookstore will lend me some travel expenses out of goodwill.

In just a few days, the name Xiao Tian has truly become known to everyone, young and old, in Ziliu County, and even the pawnshop named "Celebration" has instantly gained immense popularity.

Xiao Tian inhaled sharply, suddenly hearing Wu Pan-nan lower her voice: "This morning, while you were still asleep, the county magistrate came. The county magistrate mentioned that Hejian Prefecture is currently recruiting soldiers, what is it called, something from Beiyang. The county magistrate said that a young hero like you is wasted in our county town. This time, the recruitment from Beiyang is related to someone who is a relative of the county magistrate, so the county magistrate wrote a letter, hoping you could take this letter to Hejian, to also bring glory to our Ziliu County..." This time, the recruitment from Beiyang is related to someone who is a relative of the county magistrate, so the county magistrate wrote a letter, hoping you could take this letter to Hejian, to also bring glory to our Ziliu County..."

At a glance, the hidden meaning in the painting was discerned, resulting in the acquisition of five large pearls, which is referred to as wisdom

Cutting flesh to drink wine, the leader of this group, Ge Wenjun, always likes to cut his own flesh to intimidate others when faced with trouble. However, Xiao Tian not only consumed Ge Wenjun's flesh but also cut a piece of his own leg to offer to him. This is called courage

Xiao Tian's heart "thumped" suddenly. Beiyang? This was precisely the opportunity he had been waiting for and hoping to seize. However, Wu Pannan's subsequent words extinguished Xiao Tian's hopes in an instant

Only take what belongs to oneself, and return the rest to the head of the family; this is called benevolence

Perhaps arriving in this era is not such a bad thing

Xiao Tian merely smiled, his thoughts not at all in Ziliu County. Perhaps after this departure, he would never have the chance to return to this place again

Manager Wu also visits Xiao Tian every day, appearing cheerful and oblivious to everything. In Manager Wu's eyes, Xiao Tian is like a treasure. During this period, when I walk down the street, my back is straight and upright.

What kind of people are Chen Shaodong and Ge Wenjun's group? They are a bunch of ruffians, capable of doing anything. They have some background, more or less, in their families, and no one in the entire county dares to provoke them. Even the officials in the government office have to greet this group with a smile when they see them.

Xiao Tian shook his head with a bitter smile, realizing that he was powerless in the face of such a good opportunity. However, once his leg injury healed, he could no longer stay here under any circumstances.

From time to time in the past, some small-time delinquents would come to my pawnshop, and with a flick of the wrist, as if performing a magic trick, they would produce a piece of meat from themselves. Whether it was human or ghost, they all claimed it was cut from their own bodies, intending to pawn it for silver. In order to maintain a semblance of peace, the pawnshop would always take out some silver to settle the matter, to varying degrees.

He took out a letter and placed it in front of Xiao Tian: "I helped you steal the county magistrate's letter. Once you recover, you can go. Leave quietly and don't let your father know, as it would sadden him."

Such brave, resourceful, and benevolent youth are truly rare in this world

Suddenly staring intently at Xiao Tian, he asked: "Who on earth are you?"

If it comes to that, I can only pawn the gold medal around my neck with Manager Wu

Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Can I ignore what the shopkeeper instructed?"

As she spoke, tears began to fall, "drip, drop," landing on Xiao Tian's wounds. Wu Pan Nan was both anxious and angry, quickly taking out a silk handkerchief to carefully wipe them away

If you can, you can; there is no one in the entire county who can surpass your abilities

Wu Pan-nan stared blankly at Xiao Tian and suddenly said with a hint of sorrow: "I know that someone like you is destined for great things; those petty thugs are nothing in your eyes, let alone a celebratory shop..."
