Seeing that it was still early, Li Qingqing returned to Zhou's house and saw Zhou's mother standing in the yard, drying meat while watching Dashuang and Xiaoshuang teaching the children in the village to exercise.

Zhou's mother's legs are recovering better day by day. Although she can't walk fast yet, she has no problem with daily activities.

The date of the bet with Zhang is approaching.

But Li Qingqing didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, Zhou's mother's leg disease recovery was within her expectations.

Ever since she came to the Zhou family, she tried every possible way to earn money to improve her life, and later on she went hunting and killed enemies, all for the purpose of surviving.

The enemies she faced were stronger than each other, and Zhang's greatest killing power now was nothing more than his mouth.

As long as she doesn't come to Zhou's house, she will ignore her.

It's like, when a person has grown to a certain level, the people who once posed a direct threat to her have now become insignificant in her eyes, like ants.

Skynet is restored, sparse but not leaking.

Mr. Liu, who threatened her, is dead, and his accomplice Wang Damai is also dead.

After Zhang Xingyuan stole all her silver bit by bit, Zhang now quarrels with Xiao Honger, whom Zhang Xingyuan brought back from the brothel, every day. The two of them are jealous of each other and make a lot of trouble. It can be considered that she has received some retribution.

What does Li Qingqing want to do most now?

Naturally, one would want to know who poisoned the original owner when she was still a baby? And who abandoned her to Zhangjia Village, leaving her homeless?

Thinking even further, she wanted to know why she appeared here inexplicably?

However, these things can be discussed later. The most urgent task now is to drive away the bandits.

Li Qingqing secretly collected her thoughts and looked at the energetic children in the yard. Mother Zhou looked at them with a smile in her eyes.

Li Qingqing just wanted to maintain this peace. No matter what, she had to find ways to get rid of these bandits.

Li Qingqing thought about it and decided not to tell anyone about what happened in Qiu Shui Town.

These children are too young. Even if they knew, they would not be able to defeat the bandits. Their fathers are basically fighting outside and are in danger of death. We cannot let these children bear more pressure and fear.

Li Qingqing walked into the yard with a smile and greeted Zhou's mother:

"Mom, you can't stand for a long time now. You need to sit and rest more."

"Qingqing, you're back?" Zhou's mother said with a smile, "Mom is fine. It's good to walk around and stretch your muscles occasionally."

Li Qingqing nodded, but still couldn't help but remind her: "But you still have to be careful and don't get too tired."

"Okay." Mother Zhou smiled, "Qingqing, the Zhou family is grateful to you."

Li Qingqing smiled slightly. She helped Zhou's mother sit down and said softly, "Mom, don't say that. These are what I should do."

"By the way, Qingqing, Xier was sent to Qiu Shui Town by Shitou. Have you seen her?" Zhou's mother suddenly thought of something and asked anxiously.

"Mom, Xier's father took her away. Due to time constraints, he did not come to the Zhou family to visit you. He said he would send us a thank-you gift later!" Li Qingqing said with a smile.

Mother Zhou was silent for a while, then said:

"It's good that she's gone. That child looked very spoiled. But she left so suddenly that I feel a little reluctant to let her go."

"We will meet Xier if we have the chance in the future." Li Qingqing comforted with a smile.

At this time, Changshun and Shitou also came back. They collected a cart full of beeswax.

This is what Li Qingqing requested.

Li Qingqing planned to start making candles after moving into her new house, so she asked Changshun and Shitou to collect raw materials whenever they were free.

Li Qingqing called them into the kitchen and whispered:

"Changshun, Shitou, I'm going to Qiushui Town soon. There's been bandit infestations in Qiushui Town lately. Don't go anywhere these days. Look after my mother, Dashuang, Xiaoshuang, and the other kids in the yard. Don't let my mother and the others know about this."

"I understand, Sister Qingqing." Changshun and Shitou nodded in unison.

After Li Qingqing gave instructions to Changshun and Shitou, she said goodbye to Zhou's mother and prepared to leave the Zhou family.

"Mom, I'm going to Qiushui Town right now. My husband is waiting for me there. If you need anything, you can ask Dashuang, Xiaoshuang, Changshun, and Shitou to help you."

"I know, Qingqing, you and Mo'er just need to bring back a big fat boy as soon as possible." Zhou's mother responded with a smile.

Zhou's mother didn't know that Li Qingqing and Li Qingqing were not together. Seeing Li Qingqing rushing to Qiu Shui Town, she just thought that the two of them were reunited after a short separation.

Since her son and daughter-in-law have such a good relationship, can she have a grandchild sooner?

Hearing what Zhou's mother said, Li Qingqing staggered. What was going on? She and Mr. Zhou were still so innocent that they were not even roommates.

Li Qingqing walked towards the flat ground on the hillside behind the mountain as if fleeing.

At this time, the village chief and Tiezhu had already taken all the labor force to Qiu Shui Town, and there was no one around.

Li Qingqing then had an idea and collected all the blue bricks, lime and other materials used for building walls on the ground into the space.

Then, she leaped a few times and hurried to Qiu Shui Town.

When she arrived at Qiushui Town, she saw that everyone had already started to get busy, and everyone was preparing for the upcoming battle.

She saw Li Tiezhu leading a group of laborers, digging deep trenches on the road that the bandits must pass.

Hu Dabao and his 37 men were also seen setting up various obstacles or making improvised barricades out of wood.

At the gate, Carpenter Wang wielded an axe, skillfully cutting the wood into suitable shapes, and together with other craftsmen assembled the wood into a sturdy gate.

There is no need to guess. In the blacksmith shop, which is his own business, Mu Yunjing should have also instructed them to make iron sheets to cover the gate later.

Yunying and more than a hundred shadow guards have gone to find the best ambush location.

Bai Ye and Master Qiu were leading more than 400 officials and were talking about something.

Li Qingqing took a casual glance and saw that the weapons in the hands of the officers were seriously damaged.

Li Qingqing thought that there were a large number of weapons in her space, but how could she take them out?

Li Qingqing stepped into Xie Xuanan's residence, ready to look for Zhou Yimo.

As far as the eye can see, there are already a lot of food and medicinal herbs piled up in the yard.

She walked into the hall and saw Zhou Yimo and Mu Yunjing discussing the deployment of defensive fortifications. She couldn't help but say:

"Xie Xiaogong's efficiency is truly astonishing. He managed to gather such abundant supplies so quickly!"

Zhou Yimo couldn't help but smile when he saw her come in:

"My lady, now with the two hundred people you brought over, as well as the residents of Qiushui Town, we now have over a thousand people in total. In two days, when the reinforcements from Lin County arrive, we will have a better chance of victory."

Li Qingqing nodded to indicate that she understood.

She looked at Mu Yunjing and said, "The bricks and supplies will arrive tonight, and we can start building the wall tomorrow morning."

"Okay!" Mu Yunjing replied.

But he was still skeptical in his heart, thinking that if there were people who could transport the blue bricks and supplies, there should be quite a few of them. Where did Li Qingqing find these people?

Li Qingqing didn't care about Mu Yunjing's worries. She just wanted to find an opportunity to take out the weapon. She looked at Zhou Yimo and winked at him.

Then he said to Mu Yunjing:

"Mu Yunjing, I want my husband to take me to find some women who are good at cooking to take charge of everyone's meals."

"You guys go ahead, I'll go see how the gate is going." Mu Yunjing nodded.

Food supply is also the most important thing. How can we fight if we are not full? Mu Yunjing did not doubt anything else.
