He Lingchuan stared at the note in a daze, and his heart suddenly warmed a little.

Without Hu Min's explanation, he understood at once:

These things are all thank-you gifts, from the families of the team under General Nan Ke. If He Lingchuan hadn't sacrificed himself in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest to blow up the lair of the crypt spider and lure away the big monster Zhu Erniang, even if General Nan Ke could escape, his team didn't know how many people would have died in the Ghost Needle Stone Forest.

These lives are not numbers, there are wives and children, high halls, a family's livelihood, and the happiness of the world.

How many families did he sacrifice his life this time to save the pain of the spine? Human emotions are sometimes so unpretentious, be sure to send something as a token of appreciation.

"Surprised? Not surprised? Hu Min didn't say anything in advance, he had to leave this surprise to him to dismantle by himself, "There are so many things, I'll help you move in." ”

The two moved to the courtyard one by one, and half of the space in the small courtyard was gone.

He Lingchuan felt strange while moving: "Why didn't the thief take these, but instead stole the fish and firewood in my house?" ”

"How do I know?" Hu Min shrugged, "Maybe it's too conspicuous to take something in front of your door." It's been too busy on your doorstep lately. ”

At this moment, a five- or six-year-old child stood by the door and probed his brain, and Hu Min asked him, "Little ghost, what's the matter with you?" ”

"I live there." The boy pointed to the east.

"I know." He Lingchuan recognized that this was the child of the neighbor's family in the east, and when He Lingchuan went to the house to uncover the tiles, he saw his father tying him to the table leg.

"You are He ......" the child couldn't remember.

"Yes, I am."

"Wait, don't close the door!"

The child ran away, and He Lingchuan heard him open and close the door, and there was the sound of dada and dada footsteps throughout the whole process.

Then the boy appeared at the door of He Lingchuan's house again, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand:

"My father told me, you will send it to you when the door is opened, and thank you again."

This is a big bouquet of flowers, He Lingchuan only recognizes vermilion and red begonias, and the white ones seem to be daisies, and the others don't recognize them at all.

Of course, under the blowing of the cold wind outside, the dew quickly condensed into ice beads.

He Lingchuan hurriedly took it and put it into the house, so as not to freeze the flowers: "Is your father also a patrolman?" ”

He remembered that the kid's siblings were too young to join the army.

"It's not." The child shook his head like a wave drum, "But Daddy said that you have saved many people, and you are a good person." ”

He Lingchuan couldn't help but touch his head: "Okay, thank you Daddy." ”

Hu Min said: "It's cold, where did your father get so many flowers?" ”

The child grinned, missing one of his front teeth: "I don't know." ”

"Where does he work?"

"He often goes to the command post to deliver things!"

He Lingchuan and Hu Min looked at each other and smiled, so that's the case.

There are special greenhouses in the city to raise flowers, in addition to supplying large households, the official residence and mansion of Commander Zhong also need it. It is said that his wife loved flowers during her lifetime, and Zhong Zhai would change a batch of flowers every few days.

He Lingchuan took out a bag of kraft candy from the thank you gifts piled up into a small mountain and handed it to the child: "Give it to you, take it back and eat it." ”

The boy thanked him and went home happy.

Hu Min patted He Lingchuan on the shoulder: "I didn't expect it, you are already a celebrity in this area, and you don't have to pay for meals." ”

He Lingchuan didn't know what it was like: "I really didn't expect it." ”

Since the adventure of the Panlong Ruins, He Lingchuan has experienced several battles of life and death, he has rescued the fairy villagers from the Woling Pass bandits, and saved his whole family and Ke Jihai from the demon puppet master Dong Rui, but no one has ever thanked him so frankly and warmly.

This feeling of being loved and thanked seems to be ...... It's not bad.

"How did the news get so fast?" He Lingchuan touched his nose, "The battle of the Ghost Needle Stone Forest has only been over for a few days, right?" ”

"After every important battle, the military merit department will send people to the whole city to preach the heroic deeds in the battle. The day after General Nan Ke returned to Panlong City, you and Sun Jiayuan were posthumously crowned as martyrs. If it weren't for the fact that it's too cold now, I guess someone would have sent flowers to your doorstep. Later, you were rescued, which caused quite a stir in this area, but unfortunately you were unconscious at that time and could not come out to receive love. ”

He Lingchuan understood.

It is in this way that Panlong City shows the advanced and sets up a typical way, and widely mobilizes everyone to devote themselves to the battle to defend their homeland.

I really didn't expect that one day I would be used as a model and role model.

It's a subtle feeling.

After all, only he knows that his bravery is based on "immortality".

Death is an eternal sleep for anyone here, but for him it is only the time to wake up.

If he only had one life here, would he have dared to jump into the spider's nest without hesitation?

He Lingchuan himself didn't know.

He sighed and drove his thoughts away: "So there are people here who thank me and people who steal from me?" ”

Hu Min looked up to the sky and laughed, and took the lead in going out: "Are you the first day you came to Panlong City?" ”

……

An hour later, He Lingchuan and Hu Min were standing in Pengcheng.

Liu Gongcao took a leave of absence for half a day, and it was Xu Gongcao who received them today, this person was thin and small, and his face was expressionless.

"You're alive?" Xu Gongcao listened to him report his name, rummaged through the account books, and finally said, "Add you back to the military status, and the credit will also be recalculated." ”

"It's easy to say anything else, give me that tin house first." He Lingchuan never thought that his stronghold in his dream would be robbed, "My original dilapidated house has just been stolen. ”

"For the martyrs who died in battle, the families will receive the tin house as a pension." Xu Gongcao looked at him with provocative eyes, "Are you a hero?" ”

He Lingchuan was also stubborn: "Whether I die or not, the nest of the crypt spider was burned by me, why should the credit be recalculated?" ”

"Praise is given to the living, and bereavement is given to the dead. Pension from the generous, understand? Xu Gongcao replied to him stiffly, "Since you are alive, you can't get a pension, and the tin house will be downgraded to a water house." ”

Hu Min came out to play a round: "The water house is also good." I've been to the water house in Zeng's Girl Lane, which is spacious and bright. The inhabitants are either merchants, soldiers, or envoys of Panlong City, which is not the same as the area around your original wooden house. ”

Isn't choosing a house just choosing a location?

Isn't choosing a house just about choosing a package and choosing a neighbor?

Did you choose a pile of wood and a few tiles?

Xu Gongcao followed: "I live in a water house." ”

He Lingchuan had no choice but to obey.

Because he is a single person who has made great contributions in the book this time, the rewards are more generous than in the past, there are five hundred taels of silver alone, and there are ten acres of high-grade paddy fields and thirty acres of medium fields.

The land in his hand has skyrocketed from two acres to a total of forty acres? Did he complete the transition from poor peasant to landlord?

Going out to fight is really the fastest way to increase military merit.

Of course, it is also the most dangerous.

"I can't take care of the land myself, you can rent it out for me." He remembered that Hu Min said that Pengcheng Agency also handled this kind of business.

Sergeants usually either practice or patrol, how can they have time to guard the fields? Their fields were rented out, and the tenant farmers grew food crops in exchange for money, and they also had the means to make a living.

Tenant renting is an important part of Panlong City's economy.

"Or-" Xu Gongcao suddenly took out a land deed, "You can also choose to take out all the rewards for this military exploit and exchange it for a shop on Wanglin Avenue for a ten-year lease." ”

"Pavement?" For the first time, He Lingchuan heard that the shop could also be exchanged for military merit.

Hu Min shouted on the side: "Change, change, of course we have to change!" ”

"Do you know how difficult it is to get a shop in Panlong City? What's more, Wang Lin Avenue is such a place where you are making money every day! Hu Min beat his chest, "Why can't I meet such a good thing?" Xu Gongcao, can you change the shop for me? ”

"There is only one shop, and it was repossessed because of the expiration of the 20-year lease. This is public property, you can operate it yourself or rent it, but you can't buy or sell it yourself. ”

"All the credit you said includes the water house?" Water houses are at least two levels higher than wooden houses.

"Of course. If you change to a shop, then when you walk out of the Pengcheng Department, you will only have a title deed on you. Xu Gongcao said bluntly and disgustingly, "Hurry up and decide, you don't want people to want it, you can line up from here all the way to Wang Lin Avenue." ”

The military merit reward He Lingchuan received this time, including other bits and pieces of the paddy field, plus a bounty of five hundred taels, and a set of water houses that money could not buy, were enough for him to live a comfortable and decent middle-class life in Panlong City. Do you want to exchange these for a shop that I don't know the size of the area, I don't know the specific location, and the contract term is only ten years?

Hehe.

"Okay, I'll change." He Lingchuan pushed everything forward, trusting Hu Min's judgment.

He could only watch as the deed of the water house that had just been taken out was taken away again.

The dream of upgrading and improving a big house, say goodbye to him for the time being.

When Xu Gongcao finished the last procedure, a smile appeared on his serious face: "Congratulations, this is what you deserve." ”

"Huh?" Xu Gongcao shouldn't have any nephews and nephews in General Nanke's team, right?

He Lingchuan thought that his next sentence would be "Listen to me, thank you", but Xu Gongcao was very concise:

"That's it, next!"

Therefore, when He Lingchuan left the Pengcheng Department, he only carried a shop contract that could be blown up by the wind.

"If this shop can't earn me back a thousand taels of silver, and ten years of interest on this thousand taels of silver, I will take your house to live in!"

Hu Min didn't care about his threats at all, and hooked his neck with one hand: "Invite me to drink!" No, you picked a golden rooster that lays eggs this time, you have to invite Xiao Touer and A Luo to drink together! ”

"I don't even know the specific location, so the shop is so good?"

"Have you ever visited Wanglin Street?" Hu Min looked disdainful, "Yes, a poor ghost like you is not qualified to go shopping." Only the best goods are sold on Wanglin Street, and there are novelties from other places, where high-ranking generals and family scrolls are haunted. ”
