After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Li Qingqing first found the village chief, who was in the back mountain at the time. He happily watched the craftsman teaching the workers how to build a wall.

More and more workers have gradually mastered the skills of wall-building, which means that the blue brick and tile houses in Lihua Village will be completed ahead of schedule.

"Daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, you are here?" The village chief looked at Li Qingqing happily.

Li Qingqing's brows were furrowed, her expression serious. She glanced at the busy villagers and said to the village chief:

"Village Chief, I've received news that Qiushui Town will be attacked by bandits in three days. However, the walls of Qiushui Town have been in disrepair for a long time. If the bandits attack, the consequences will be disastrous. I urgently need someone to repair the walls and strengthen the defenses."

Li Qingqing briefly told the village chief about the bandit invasion.

After hearing this, the smile on the village chief's face gradually disappeared, and he looked around nervously to make sure no one else heard the news.

"Is this serious?"

"It's absolutely true. I rushed back because I wanted them to go to Qiu Shui Town as soon as possible to repair the wall. This matter cannot be delayed!" Li Qingqing nodded affirmatively.

The village chief took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said worriedly:

"But they are all laborers we hired from all over. I'm afraid they are unwilling to risk their lives?"

Li Qingqing had already thought about it in her mind and knew that this matter would indeed be difficult. The key was whether everyone was willing.

If they are unwilling, then we can only try to persuade them to repair for two days first, and then let them leave safely before the bandits come.

"Village Chief, let's ask first. If they are unwilling, I will think of other ways."

"it is good!"

The two men gathered all the people working on the construction site in the back mountain. After hearing the news, all the workers looked at each other and talked about it for a while. No one dared to be the first to speak out, for fear that a wrong decision on their part would put them in great danger.

Standing at the front of the crowd was the team of craftsmen that Xie Xuanan had found, and they were in tears.

This is such an unexpected disaster, such an unexpected disaster!

They were perfectly fine in Kyoto, yet they plunged into this remote countryside and found themselves in a bandit situation!?

But there was nothing they could do. Xie Xuan'an was their master, and the master hadn't escaped. What was there for them to be afraid of?

So they made up their minds and took the lead in expressing their opinions:

"We're willing to go! If those bandits occupy Qiushui Town, we won't have a chance to survive if we stay in the village. We might as well fight them!"

"Yes, we're not going to fight bandits, we just need to build the wall!"

"If all else fails, let's build up a wall and block the gate so those bandits can't get in!"

……

When Li Tiezhu saw that the craftsmen were willing to go, he excitedly said:

"Everyone, the craftsman is right. Our village and town prosper together and suffer together. If Qiushui Town is occupied by bandits, how can we villagers survive?"

Unexpectedly, the words of the craftsman and Li Tiezhu resonated with everyone.

Finally, a middle-aged man stood up, patted his chest and said loudly:

"I'm willing to go! I'm from a nearby village. My cousin was robbed by bandits over a month ago and is still bedridden. We can't let these bandits run rampant!"

"I'm also from a nearby village. Although I'm timid, I can help build the wall. Let's make it stronger!"

"Yes, I'll go too! I can't build a wall, but I can carry bricks!"

With the first one taking the lead, all the villagers began to respond, and in the end no one raised any objections.

The village chief felt his eyes were a little sore, and he asked Li Qingqing: "What should we do now?"

Li Qingqing said:

"Village Chief, you must lead these people to my husband immediately and have him arrange for them to build some defensive fortifications. I will arrange for the materials for the wall to be delivered to Qiushui Town tonight."

The village chief nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Okay! I'll take them to Qiushui Town right away."

Li Qingqing turned around and prepared to leave, but then turned back to the village chief and said:

"There's one more thing, Village Chief. Tell them to keep quiet on the road and try not to leak the news to avoid causing unnecessary panic."

"I understand. I will handle this matter personally." The village chief responded seriously.

"it is good!"

After parting with the village chief, Li Qingqing went to the bamboo forest to find Hu Dabao.

At this time, Hu Dabao was cutting bamboo with his 37 men.

"Miss Li, are you looking for me?"

Hu Dabao was a little surprised. He tried hard to recall that he should not have done anything bad these days, and his subordinate No. 9 was also teaching the children knowledge diligently every day.

Li Qingqing got straight to the point and said, "Yes, I need your help! The second-in-command of Milin Village has captured a group of children, including your son."

But before she could finish her words, Hu Dabao jumped with a startled cry, his eyes wide open, and roared:

"Damn it! How dare they arrest my son? I'm going to settle this score with them!"

Before he finished speaking, he was ready to run away.

"Stop right there!" Li Qingqing yelled, "I haven't finished what I'm saying yet."

"Yes, sister, I'm stopping!" Hu Dabao shuddered and stopped quickly.

He said with a sad face: "I have to go save my son."

"Your son is fine now. But soon, we will all be in trouble."

After Li Qingqing successfully rescued Hu Dabao's son, she learned that the bandits were about to occupy Qiu Shui Town and informed Hu Dabao.

Upon hearing this, Hu Dabao muttered, "Boss—bah! I called him Boss in vain! That bastard actually colluded with the bandits to destroy Qiushui Town!"

Then, Hu Dabao was enraged and said excitedly, "Miss Li, my parents and son are still in Qiushui Town. I must go and kill those bandits!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Li Qingqing gave him a warning look and said:

"Hurry up and take your thirty-seven men with you. Keep quiet on the way and go to Qiushui Town to find my husband. You will complete whatever mission he assigns you."

Li Qingqing told Hu Dabao the address of Xie Xuan'an's residence and warned him, "Don't do anything rash! After the mission is accomplished, I will give you wages and rewards!"

Hu Dabao performed well during this period, and the thirty-seven people were well managed by him.

I didn’t expect that a big gangster in Qiu Shui Town would be so protective of his own family.

But his temper is too bad. If he is trained in the future, maybe he can become my capable subordinate.

Li Qingqing thought secretly.

"Yes, I understand." Hu Dabao said with a serious face. After that, he added: "Can I go see my son?"

"can!"

"Okay, I promise to follow orders!"

Hu Dabao happily led his thirty-seven men and hurried to Qiu Shui Town.

After seeing them leave, Li Qingqing put all the bamboos cut by Hu Dabao and others into the space, intending to take them to Qiu Shui Town later, as they would be needed for laying bricks and building the scaffolding.
