After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Zhou Yimo looked at Xie Xuan'an, who was not far away, and was about to say something to him, but he saw that his face was as pale as snow. He couldn't help but feel a little worried, and then ordered the officers beside him, "You two, quickly help Young Master Xie back."

Xie Xuanan quickly refused, "Brother Zhou, no need, it's just a minor injury."

Li Qingqing walked up to Xie Xuanan and saw that blood seemed to be flowing out from under the loose robe. She couldn't help but frown.

"Can you still walk?"

Xie Xuan'an looked around and saw that all the officers were looking at him.

He then smiled brightly, "Of course you can go!"

After saying this, he straightened his back, tried his best to maintain an elegant posture, and walked towards Qiushui Town.

He walked with a lighthearted, free and unrestrained gait, but his slightly slow steps and the tightly clenched hands under his sleeves silently revealed that he was silently enduring severe pain.

Li Qingqing was close to him, and seeing this, she did not expose him. She followed him silently, thinking that if he was about to faint, she would support him immediately.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and Xie Xuan'an forced himself to walk into the house.

As soon as he entered, his body swayed, and then he held the door frame tightly to steady himself, with a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

Xie Xuanan calmed down, turned his head to look at Li Qingqing, and smiled calmly.

"I probably can't hold on any longer. If you have any painkillers, give me some!"

"Let me take a look at your wound." Li Qingqing looked at him expressionlessly, then supported him and walked towards the room.

"No, you can't look at it!" Xie Xuan'an stopped immediately when he heard her words.

"Why?" Li Qingqing was puzzled and frowned slightly.

"I, I'm not used to having anyone check my wounds."

Perhaps because he was very dizzy, Xie Xuanan closed his eyes lazily, then opened them again and looked at her, smiling stubbornly:

"You have to promise me that even if I pass out, you won't let anyone treat me... I'm lucky. I'll wake up after a good sleep."

When Xie Xuan'an said these words, he looked at Li Qingqing steadily, insisting that she agree.

His face grew paler, and his steps became somewhat unsteady, but he refused to take another step into the room unless she agreed.

Li Qingqing: ...

Look, what are you talking about?

Knowing that you might faint at the next second, you still insist on not getting treatment?

Li Qingqing stared at him speechlessly. Doesn’t this guy know that excessive blood loss can be life-threatening?

She suddenly felt a little annoyed, and without saying anything, she pressed his sleeping point and made him lie quietly on the bed in the room.

You little brat! I'm still going to heal you!

Li Qingqing took off his bloodstained outer robe, only to see that his inner garment was torn on the thigh. Blood was still flowing out of the wound, soaking most of the inner garment.

Li Qingqing thought, could it be that he refused to treat the wound because it was here?

What a stubborn guy!

Li Qingqing shook her head. Without thinking too much, she took off all her wet underwear and began to clean his wounds and blood stains with the spring water from the space.

Then she took out the hemostatic powder and gauze, carefully stopped the bleeding from the wound, and bandaged it carefully.

After doing all this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the wound was not very deep and it would basically heal after two weeks of rest.

Li Qingqing brought a thin blanket and planned to cover him with it, but at this moment, her eyes accidentally fell on his calves and she was stunned.

I was so focused on treating the wound that I didn't notice there was a large bruise on my calf.

Li Qingqing originally thought that he was just accidentally bumped by something, so she checked it carefully and fortunately, it was just an old scar.

Li Qingqing thought for a moment, then lifted up his shirt to check.

Unexpectedly, this sight made her gasp.

The chest was fine, with only a few scars, but the back was covered with crisscrossing whip marks.

Judging from these new and old scars, it can be inferred that the latest scar was formed at least four months ago and the scar has never been properly treated.

Who hurt him like this?

I'm afraid no one would have thought that this noble young man, with his unruly appearance, had endured such a kind of pain?

That's why he was able to endure the pain and walk back without saying a word even when his leg was injured so badly.

In order to prevent others from discovering his old injuries, he refused to allow anyone to treat him.

Only then would he smile calmly and say, "I'm lucky. I'll wake up after a good sleep."

An inexplicable sadness suddenly welled up in Li Qingqing's heart, but it was soon replaced by an inexplicable anger.

She took out the healing ointment from the space and applied it on the whip marks bit by bit.

This ointment was also prepared by her in her spare time. It is very effective in treating old wounds and promoting skin healing.

Now, all she can do is probably just erase these scars.

After Li Qingqing applied the ointment, she covered him with a thin blanket and sat in the outer hall waiting for Zhou Yimo.

Not long after, Zhou Yimo and Mu Yunjing hurried over.

When they entered the room and saw Xie Xuan'an sleeping quietly, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

The three of them sat down in the outer hall and chatted.

Mu Yunjing couldn't help but ask, "Miss Li, how is his injury?"

"It's not serious. It will heal in about two weeks." Li Qingqing smiled. She did not mention that Xie Xuanan had other scars on his body.

Since Xie Xuan'an kept some things hidden himself, he probably didn't want others to know.

Li Qingqing thought for a moment and asked, "Mu Yunjing, does Young Master Xie have a servant?"

If there is a servant, please remind him to change the dressing for Xie Xuanan on time.

"He doesn't have any servants now." Mu Yunjing shook his head and explained:

"Xuan An is a bit stubborn. He once had a servant who he grew up with and was very close to, but he died in an accident. Since then, he no longer wants a servant."

After hearing this, Li Qingqing lowered her eyes and thought to herself, well, he is indeed a bit stubborn.

I wonder how he will act against her when he wakes up after she presses his sleeping point this time.

But he doesn’t have a servant, so who should he ask when the time comes to change the medicine?

Otherwise, should I press his sleeping point every time I change his medicine?

Li Qingqing was lost in thought when she heard Mu Yunjing ask:

"Miss Li, we didn't let any of the bandits escape this time. We even captured over 2,000 of them alive. I heard from Yi Mo that you were going to use these people?"

Li Qingqing nodded and said:

"That's right. Yi Mo and I are planning to start building roads. We need to build both official roads and village roads. These bandits can serve as the labor force for the construction."

Mu Yunjing nodded. This was a good idea. It would allow these bandits to reform themselves and make more contributions to Yuntai County, so that they would not harm people everywhere.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he thought, why not let the prisoners of war he captured later build the city wall?

At this time, Li Qingqing asked again: "But I haven't thought of suitable materials for road construction. Do you have any suitable suggestions?"

Mu Yunjing heard this and then said:

"Kyoto's official roads were mainly paved with bluestone or blue bricks. If bluestone were chosen, it would not only be time-consuming and costly, but also difficult to find in sufficient quantities.

As for the blue bricks—I was just about to discuss this with you. I hope you can provide me with blue bricks, which I intend to use to build the city walls on the border.”

He added, "Miss Li, I will prepare the cost of the blue bricks. I hope you can help me bring the blue bricks to the border, or see if you can build a brick kiln nearby?"

Li Qingqing thought for a moment and said, "We need to survey the soil before building a brick kiln. I'll go there when I have time."

"it is good!"
