Chapter 72: A Special Thing
For five consecutive days, Liu Chan went to Zhuge Liang's place in the morning to learn how to handle government affairs and understand the current system and human relations, and in the afternoon he went to Zhou Cang's place to practice martial arts hard.
From time to time, he would tease Guan Yinping to gain a little anger point.
However, he no longer dared to be as uncontrolled as before. Every time he would take advantage of Zhou Cang's presence, he would make a profit ranging from 100 to 200 points a day.
Now his anger value is 3200 points.
After high-intensity training every day, he felt very tired. After returning home, after dinner, he covered his head and fell asleep. It was not until the next morning that he was relieved of the day's fatigue.
In the early morning of this day, the sky was already slightly bright, and Liu Chan felt that he had slept well for the first time, and he no longer had the energy to wake up before dawn.
"Friendly reminder, there are two days left to complete the annual task of 'becoming a big pig farmer'. The current completion rate is 5%. Please seize the last chance, host!"
The long-lost system 'alarm' sounded again at this time. Liu Chan woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed.
"Damn it! How could I forget this? It seems that I am too addicted to practicing martial arts!"
"Ah...I owe..."
As soon as he sat up, he was hit by the cold wind blowing in from the window and couldn't help but yawn.
"What's going on? It's so cold..."
He quickly put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out!
Outside the door, I saw white snow falling and the cold wind howling!
There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, along the corridor, and on the eaves.
Wrapped in silver, it’s beautiful and shocking!
It snowed heavily last night!
And the snowflakes are still not small now, I don’t know when they will stop!
"What will my pig do with such heavy snow?"
"God, I wouldn't be joking like this..."
Originally, when he came here, it was the first time he saw snow, so he should feel a little excited.
But now he was so anxious that he didn't like the snow at all.
He didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he ran to Zhuge Liang's place.
Today, Zhuge Liang surprisingly lit a brazier for the first time to resist the severe cold brought by the heavy snow.
"Young Master, I thought you wouldn't come today?"
Zhuge Liang saw Liu Chan with a look of surprise in his eyes.
"Sir, you are working so hard, how dare I be lazy! I don't know what happened today, I got up a little late, ah...I owe..."
Liu Chan actually said the good things first.
"Huh? Is the young master feeling unwell?"
Hearing this yawn, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but become worried.
"It's okay, maybe it was just blown by the wind, it will be fine after a while!"
Liu Chan had caught colds countless times in his last life, so he naturally didn't take this little yawn seriously.
But Zhuge Liang is different. In this era, if the wind and cold are severe, people will die!
Moreover, Liu Chan is still a child less than six years old, and his body's resistance is already weak.
So Zhuge Liang suddenly put down the official document in his hand, came to Liu Chan's side, grabbed his hand, and took his pulse!
"Sir, I said I'm fine!"
Liu Chan knew that Zhuge Liang was nervous about him, but he had more important things to do in his heart right now.
"Well... it's really nothing serious! Master, come over here and light the fire. It should be warm in a moment!"
After a while, Zhuge Liang relaxed his brows and pulled Liu Chan to the brazier.
The heat of the charcoal fire quickly makes people feel warm.
Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Chan's face was much better than before, so he smiled and asked: "What is on your mind today, young master?"
Liu Chan said: "Sir, you are really clever. I do have something to ask you today. That is..."
Before he could say anything, Zhuge Liang interrupted with a smile: "But about the pigs?"
"Exactly! Exactly!"
Liu Chan nodded repeatedly with a look of surprise on his face.
"It seems that Zhuge Liang has been thinking about this matter, so there should be no problem!"
Liu Chan thought, looking forward to a surprising answer from him!
Zhuge Liang said: "Last night, I received reports from the flying cavalry of General Guan and General Zhang. They were driving pigs towards Gong'an City. It's just..."
After talking about it, Zhuge Liang suddenly looked worried.
When Liu Chan saw this, he knew something might have gone wrong, and asked worriedly: "Just what? Did something unexpected happen?"
Zhuge Liang said: "Last night, flying cavalry came to report that one of the two generals was 80 miles away from Gong'an City and the other was 70 miles away. Logically speaking, they should be able to come back this afternoon. However, it suddenly snowed heavily last night. I'm afraid they won't be able to come back on time!
"
"ah……"
When Liu Chan heard this, he felt worried and thought: "If they can't come back, what will they do with this mission? And how can they explain the pig breed they promised before? This thing can't be bought in the system mall!"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Actually, young master, you don't have to worry too much. Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, I believe the two generals will find a way to come back as soon as possible!"
"That's true. I told the time so accurately at that time. If it's delayed, you can't blame me!"
Thinking of this, Liu Chan felt a little more comfortable and asked, "I wonder if they said how many pigs they brought back?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head and frowned: "I just heard that the two generals each brought back dozens of pigs. As for the specific number, I don't know!"
"This...isn't this a scam?"
Liu Chan was so excited that the words in his heart blurted out.
"Huh? What did the young master say?"
Although Zhuge Liang heard clearly, he didn't understand what he meant.
"No...it's nothing! I just hope that Uncle Guan and Uncle Zhang can come back soon, in case the magical object expires!"
Liu Chan lowered his head and explained.
But when he said the last sentence, he immediately regretted it!
He cursed secretly in his mind: "Liu Adou! You idiot, remind them what to do if you have nothing to do!"
"I believe that the two generals will never miss the deadline!"
Zhuge Liang was quite confident about this and was not worried at all.
"Sir, is there anything special to report today?"
After a while, Liu Chan suddenly looked at the official documents on the desk and changed the topic.
"If you want to talk about something special, I have a copy. Young Master, please take a look."
Zhuge Liang took out one of the several official documents that had been processed and handed it to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan just took over and asked curiously before looking at it: "This is it?"
Zhuge Liang said: "It was a recent census of the people of Nanjun, and it was just delivered yesterday!"
"Census? Just look at the population of South County!"
Liu Chan thought about it and looked at it with great interest.
I saw it read: "Nan County has a total of seventeen cities, 24,57 households, and a population of 19,740..."
