A post-apocalyptic female soul travels back to the War of Resistance against Japan

As soon as the group of constables arrived, they began to disperse the crowd, shouting loudly, "Disperse! Do not gather here to watch!"

Although the people were unwilling, they dared not disobey the officials and gradually left. Some people who insisted on watching the excitement simply stayed a little further away and slowly observed the situation.

After the group of yamen runners dispersed the onlookers, they did not leave.

They seemed to be waiting for someone to come. Although Lin Beichen was inexperienced, he did not dare to make any rash moves at the moment.

At this moment, Grandpa Lin also got out of the car. "What happened to Beichen?"

When Lin Beichen saw that his grandfather had come down, he immediately went up to help him and said, "Grandpa, a lot of officials have come. They just dispersed the onlookers, but we still don't know what's going on!"

Grandpa Lin looked around and realized they were probably waiting for someone to arrive.

Just then, the person who had been in the carriage earlier saw that the crowd had dispersed and got off.

He also wanted to see this amazing car; he wanted to know what kind of car it was that could attract so many people to come and watch!

The servant led the way, and when they arrived, the servant said, "Master, this is the iron lump."

When Grandpa Lin saw this person, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, his extraordinary demeanor made him look like a person of status!

Moreover, the officials stood on both sides, showing great respect to this person. After the person arrived, he circled the carriage twice and asked, "Is this your carriage?"

Grandpa Lin cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Yes!"

"Where did you get this car?"

Grandpa Lin didn't answer but asked, "May I ask who you are?"

At this moment, the servant beside him said, "This is our master. He is the prefect of Anqing Prefecture, Prefect Liu!"

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Lin and Lin Beichen realized that it was the Prefect of Anqing Prefecture. They were very surprised and quickly bowed to Prefect Liu.

This Prefect Liu was a decent person. Just as Grandpa Lin and his companion were about to kneel down and pay their respects, he stopped them, saying, "Old sir, there's no need for such formalities. Please rise quickly. I was just passing by when I saw you surrounded by a crowd, so I had people disperse the crowd."

Grandpa Lin immediately said, "So it was Lord Liu who helped us just now. Then my grandson and I should thank Lord Liu even more."

Prefect Liu waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, it was just a small favor. Besides, this is the main street, and it's not good for it to keep getting congested like this."

Grandpa Lin insisted on bowing and saying, "Thank you, thank you. Although it was just a small favor for an adult, it was a great help to us, grandfather and grandson."

Prefect Liu said gently, "You're too kind, sir. It's an honor to have seen such a wonderful thing today, and I've certainly broadened my horizons."

Prefect Liu asked again, "Old man, may I ask, what is the origin of this carriage?"

Grandpa Lin smiled and said, "Please excuse my rudeness, sir. This is a gift from my son. As for where they got it from, I have no idea."

He nodded slightly, as if he understood something: "Your son is so filial, it's truly a blessing. Are you from Wutong Town?"

Grandpa Lin bowed and said to Prefect Liu, "My youngest son, Lin Zeyang, is a scholar. He just returned to his hometown for the Dragon Boat Festival and is preparing to go to Xuan Yue City to take the imperial examination."

Therefore, my wife and I were worried about leaving our three young grandchildren at home, so we came to town to look after their house and take care of the children.

Prefect Lin nodded in understanding. "Well, I see. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Grandpa Lin and Lin Beichen bowed respectfully, saying, "Respectfully seeing off the Prefect!"

After Prefect Liu and his men left, Lin Beichen and the others got back into their carriages and continued their journey. They were also relieved that Prefect Liu was not the kind of person who oppressed the people; he seemed to be a good official.

What they didn't know was that after Prefect Liu and the others got into the carriage, he instructed his servant, "Find someone to follow them and see where they went."

The servant bowed and said, "Yes, sir."

Just as the servant was about to leave, Prefect Liu said again, "While you're at it, check the family's background."

"Yes!" The servant turned around and soon found someone to follow behind Grandpa Lin and the others.

On the other side, Cheng Ying and her parents' carriage moved slowly forward. When they saw the territory of Anqing Prefecture in the distance and realized that everything was normal, they were relieved.

But they didn't know that the matter was already over before they arrived. Shortly after Lin Beichen and his family got home, Cheng Ying's family also arrived.

After the family reunited, they talked about what had happened on the journey, and they all sighed. It seems that these new things can cause quite a bit of trouble, and it would be better to be careful when using them when traveling in the future.

Cheng Ying pondered for a moment, then said, "Grandpa, Dad, since the tricycle has already been used on the roads, let's use it however we want. People will get used to it over time."

"If we keep it a secret, outsiders might become more suspicious. If anyone asks about the origin of the tricycle in the prefectural city or elsewhere, just say that I have a master who gave me all the new and interesting things."
