After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

As the sky gradually darkened, Li Qingqing had just put away the food when she saw Bai Ye walking towards her holding a pine resin torch.

As soon as Bai Ye saw her, he immediately said:

"Master, the bandits have been eliminated, and only some women are left. What should we do with them?"

"Go and see!"

Li Qingqing pondered for a moment, then followed Bai Ye to a hall, which should be where the bandits usually gathered.

There were about thirty women who were all detained here by Bai Ye. Under the light of the oil lamp, each of them looked terrified and dared not say a word.

Li Qingqing's eyes darkened.

She was so busy robbing the bandit's den that she forgot there were women in it.

If left unattended, the dense forest village is located deep in the mountains, and these weak women may not be able to escape from the dense forest.

But if any of these women were in cahoots with the bandits, rescuing them would undoubtedly be a hassle.

Li Qingqing frowned and turned her gaze to these women again.

Some of them showed fear and helplessness in their eyes, some had a hint of fear but seemed a little numb, and others had calm expressions and no emotion could be seen.

"Do you want to leave this place?" Li Qingqing asked with a faint expression.

She saw some women hesitated to speak, some women looked at her with suspicion, but more of them lowered their eyes and heads and said nothing.

Li Qingqing didn't care and spoke again in a cold voice.

"I just happened to be passing by here. If you want to leave, I can take you out. But this is only one chance. If you have no intention of leaving, I will not stay any longer."

As soon as Li Qingqing finished speaking, whispers were heard in the hall.

Finally, a woman spoke:

"I want to leave here all the time! But where can I go after I leave? If my parents knew I was kidnapped here, they would definitely beat me to death."

The woman looked at Li Qingqing, whose face was covered with a veil. She couldn't guess Li Qingqing's age, but from her voice, she must be too young to understand the cruelty and sadness of this world.

How unfair this world is to women! She didn't volunteer to enter this bandit den.

Even if her family didn't mind, the gossip in the village would make her unable to hold her head up.

The more the woman thought about it, the sadder she became. She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart, and tears suddenly fell rapidly from her eyes as if the string had broken.

The woman's words were like a fuse, causing other women to tell their own sufferings.

"Me too. My family will definitely not forgive me." Another woman cried, her voice full of despair.

After returning, she will bring shame to her family and cause her parents, siblings and others to look down on her. It would be better to just treat her as if she were dead!

A woman who looked a bit older said, "What will happen to us who were captured once we get out? Who will want us?"

Her expression was calm, as if she was used to accepting everything.

The only possibility of death after returning is death. It is better to live out the rest of my life here and live as long as I can.

The dim oil lamp was gently blown by the night wind, causing the figures to flicker, and the hall was filled with a deep sense of helplessness and desolation.

Li Qingqing glanced at everyone for a long time and found that they were not really willing to stay here.

There is fear, helplessness, compromise, and deep despair in their eyes.

These women are all poor people who have been teased by fate.

Li Qingqing thought for a moment, then said calmly:

"I will stay in this village tonight and leave in the early morning. If you want to leave, please tell me before I go."

After she finished speaking, she stopped paying attention to these women. She looked at Bai Ye and said, "Let's find a room to rest and leave tomorrow morning."

Bai Ye nodded, took Li Qingqing to a slightly cleaner room, and said,

"Master, you can take a rest. I will be on guard outside."

"No need. You can find a room to rest. We have to rush to Qiushui Town to intercept those bandits tomorrow morning."

Li Qingqing waved him away.

She planned to sleep in the space at night, so she didn't need to worry no matter how great the danger was.

But Bai Ye didn’t know. He only knew that this was a bandit’s den. What if he ran into bandits on their way home?

Seeing that Bai Ye still insisted on guarding the door, Li Qingqing had no choice but to yawn and say:

"Okay, I'm going to sleep then. If you're tired, go and rest."

"understood."

In the early morning, Li Qingqing came out of the space after washing up.

There were sounds of women talking quietly outside the room. Li Qingqing covered her face with a veil. She opened the door and saw that the more than 30 women from last night were all gathered outside the room, eagerly waiting for her to come out.

Bai Ye still had his face covered, silently guarding the door.

He carried the chill of the night, and it was obvious that he had been standing at the door all night.

Li Qingqing was speechless and was about to tell him that he didn't need to do this in the future.

But when Bai Ye saw Li Qingqing coming out, he quickly said, "Master, these women said they are willing to follow you."

Li Qingqing had no choice but to nod. She glanced at them and saw that everyone's eyes revealed different expectations.

Seeing Li Qingqing coming out, they all said, "We are all willing to go with you!"

Li Qingqing raised her hand to signal them to be quiet.

She looked at these women with a firm gaze:

“There are some things I didn’t tell you last night. I’m sure you all know that those bandits from Milin Village went to attack Qiushui Town yesterday. However, I can assure you that they are doomed to fail and will not be able to escape and return.

Therefore, you will stay here for a day. I will send someone to take you back to Qiushui Town in the afternoon. If you wish to return home, I will arrange for someone to escort you home. If you do not wish to return home, I will provide you with a new place to live, find you a job, and allow you to start a new life.

All the women were shocked when they heard this.

They originally thought that life would be difficult after they got out, and were prepared to face the blame from their families. Some women even thought that as long as they could escape from this place that brought them shame, they would live there for the rest of their lives.

Unexpectedly, the woman in front of them actually provided them with accommodation and found them a job, allowing them to start their lives anew!

After hearing this, all kinds of complex emotions surged in their hearts. For a moment, their emotions were intertwined and they were so excited that they couldn't express it in words. They all knelt down to express their gratitude.

Li Qingqing could only wave her hand and said, "You don't have to do this. Get up. I'll go back and prepare, and I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow."

After Li Qingqing left them some food for the day, she and Bai Ye rushed to Qiu Shui Town.

At this time, the bandits had already arrived outside Qiu Shui Town.

When he saw the gate of Qiu Shui Town, Boss Luo was stunned.

He could never have imagined that Qiu Shui Town had changed so much just a few days after he left.

The originally dilapidated and mottled earthen wall is now covered with blue bricks, and the originally empty and open doorway is actually installed with a sturdy iron door.

What is even more surprising is that a tall city wall was built.

Who can tell him when Qiu Shui Town became a city?

The head of the Internet was deeply suspicious.

It seemed like it was specially prepared for this group of bandits.
