Is the beginning of a catastrophe? The little farm cook is raising a family with a full warehouse.

Although being tea friends has brought the two closer together, it is only a superficial acquaintance. If she can cure Li Fu's burnout, then she will be doing him a favor.

With this favor, I can tell the other party about my troubles when the time comes. I think the other party will be more attentive, and the house and shop I find will be more cost-effective.

Cheng Yuntao had a good plan in mind and walked quickly. Perhaps because he was thinking with his head down, he suddenly reacted when he was about to bump into someone.

"what!"

She screamed in surprise, her body froze instantly, her face full of panic and helplessness. She wanted to retreat but staggered in panic and her body involuntarily leaned back.

Jiang Yu was also stunned by the sudden collision. After he came to his senses, he subconsciously stretched out his strong arms to hold Cheng Yuntao's slender waist.

The place he touched was warm and soft. Jiang Yu's face felt slightly hot, and a ripple appeared in his heart. His originally carefree smile became a little unnatural, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"careful!"

After coming to her senses, Cheng Yuntao struggled free somewhat embarrassedly. After seeing the other person's face clearly, her panicked expression instantly dissipated a lot.

"Jiang Yu?! Why is it you?"

She lowered her eyes again to look at Jiang Yu's empty hands and bulging purse, and instantly realized that Jiang Yu had already gone to the government to collect the reward money.

"Oh, I just finished my business and was walking back when I saw a familiar figure from a distance. I looked closely and it turned out to be you. I thought I would wait here for a while so that I can go back to the inn with you."

"But you, where were you going today? What were you thinking about while walking? You were so focused that you didn't even notice the person standing in front of you."

The expression on Jiang Yu's face returned to its previous free and easy look. He reached out and touched his head, looking at the way Cheng Yuntao came, and asked with some confusion.

The two walked side by side, and Cheng Yuntao explained excitedly as they strolled.

"I asked the innkeeper this morning. He said that if you want to rent a house in Junhua City, it's best to find an experienced broker. One of the most reputable brokers is called Li Fu. He has a wide network of connections and many resources. If we can rent a house from him, it will definitely be the best choice."

"After asking around, I went out to look for Li Fu in the teahouse he frequented. After some negotiations, I've made some progress and have established a connection. But this alone isn't enough. I think he's a pretty good person, so I'm planning to get closer to him."

Although it was said in a somewhat vague way, Jiang Yu roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

"By the way, did you go smoothly when you went to the government office to collect the bounty? I hope the people there won't give you any trouble?"

Cheng Yuntao had no specific idea of ​​which places they were, and only had some vague concepts in her mind. She was worried that the people inside would abuse their power and deliberately make things difficult for Jiang Yu.

"It went very smoothly. The last thing Junhua City lacks is money. I solved such a big problem for them, and they paid me very quickly. The people inside also gave me a lot of bounties, waiting for me to help them complete the task. They can't report it if they can't catch anyone. There are so many losers inside, so they can only rely on those of us who are hanging around outside to help out."

"You know what? I saw quite a few old acquaintances at the bounty collection point just now. Traveling the world like a prodigy takes a lot of money, and being a bounty hunter is the fastest and most legitimate way to make money."

Cheng Yuntao looked at the stack of bounty warrants that Jiang Yu took out from his arms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems that Junhua City is not a peaceful place.

"Oh, right, there's a secret mission here, only issued to professional bounty hunters like us."

"He looks like a clean-cut scholar, not some vicious criminal. I don't know what crime he committed that would warrant such a huge sum of money to kill him."

As Jiang Yu spoke, he pulled out a bounty order from the box. Cheng Yuntao glanced sideways curiously and saw a familiar face.

"and many more!"

Cheng Yuntao suddenly became a little nervous and hurriedly took the bounty order. The person drawn on it was Shen Shulan, whom she had just parted with a few days ago.

She hurriedly read the few lines of small words under the portrait. It said very clearly that when she saw the person in the portrait, she didn't need to ask any questions, she could just hunt him down. The head could be exchanged for a thousand taels of gold.

You should know that the leader of the Shadow Bandits that Jiang Yu had killed before was only rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, but now Shen Shulan's head is worth a thousand taels of gold, which is many times more.

Money makes the world go round. Under the temptation of this huge bounty, I wonder how many bounty hunters will come out in full force to hunt down Shen Shulan.

Cheng Yuntao didn't expect that after just a few months of not seeing each other, Shen Shulan's situation had become so bad.

She had originally planned to wait until she was completely settled in Junhua City before trying to find a way to contact Shen Shulan, but in the current situation, let alone finding someone, even whether the other party was safe was unknown.

Since such a large-scale hunt is possible, it seems that all the forces in the City Lord's Mansion should be controlled by Shen Linfeng, and Junhua City has begun to reshuffle in secret.

Although she was worried, Cheng Yuntao had no one to rely on here and the information she could get was very limited. She didn't know how to help Shen Shulan, so she could only pray silently in her heart, hoping that she would be safe.

"Yun Tao, what's wrong with you? Do you know this person?"

Jiang Yu didn't understand why Cheng Yuntao's expression changed instantly after seeing the portrait. His intuition told him that the identity of the person in the painting should not be simple.

"Jiang Yu, you promise me that if you really see the person in the painting in the future, you must not kill her. You must save her life and bring her to me." Cheng Yuntao quickly calmed down, looked around, lowered her voice, and explained nervously.

After Cheng Yuntao said this, Jiang Yu became even more curious, but he also knew that this busy street was not a good place to discuss things, so he nodded slightly and agreed.

"I understand. Don't worry. If I have any news about him, I will bring it to you."

Jiang Yu didn't know Shen Shulan and had no grudge against her. As Cheng Yuntao's friend, he would naturally cooperate with this little matter.

After getting the promise, Cheng Yuntao breathed a sigh of relief, and the two of them quickened their pace. When they were near the inn, they met the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren who were returning from shopping.

"Sister! Brother Jiang!"

"Sister! Master!"

The first second the two children saw them, their eyes lit up and they rushed over happily, shouting.

Zhou Xiufang tapped her sore lower back, then stood there, smiling and shaking her head.

Cheng Yuntao and Jiang Yu stood where they were, stretched out their hands to catch the figure flying towards them, and a group of people walked towards the inn in a lively manner.
