After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Seeing Zhou Yimo turning around, the girl quickly put down the bowl, ran to Zhou Yimo in a few quick steps, and grabbed his bag tightly.

While crying, she did not forget to wipe all her snot and tears on him.

"Don't leave me--" the little girl cried loudly.

Zhou Yimo: ...

"You got the wrong person, didn't you?"

Zhou Yimo tugged at the bag in his hand and just wanted to go home quickly.

But the child had very strong hands, and he just grabbed the bag containing books. Zhou Yimo didn't dare to pull it back hard for fear of tearing it.

"How can you be so cruel as a father?"

Zhou Yimo looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the sister-in-law had not left yet. She was indignant:

"Even if it's a girl, she's still your own flesh and blood!"

Zhou Yimo: ...

Thank you, kind sister-in-law!

Your voice attracted everyone around you!

Zhou Yimo felt helpless, watching everyone around him looking at him.

His face, which had been calm at first, suddenly turned slightly red. He could only remain calm and explain to the onlookers:

"I don't know her! I—"

"I just saw you buy a bowl of noodles for this girl, and you said you don't know her?" A diner at the noodle stall couldn't help but question.

"A bowl of noodles isn't cheap, so who would buy noodles for someone they don't know?"

"He looks so handsome, but I didn't expect that a scholar would do such a thing as favoring boys over girls."

When someone saw Zhou Yimo wearing a long gown and dressed like a scholar, they immediately started to mock him.

"That's right! If you insist on abandoning your daughter, we will report it to the police!"

"Yes, report to the police!"

The onlookers pointed and talked a lot.

Zhou Yimo looked at the little girl who was forcibly pulling him and hiding her body behind him, then looked at everyone and quickly said:

"How could I possibly abandon her? I'll take her home right now!"

He doesn't want to make things worse.

Are you kidding! Are you here to see an official? The previous county magistrates didn't live in this yamen, and only came to Qiushui Town from the county once every ten days or half a month.

The new county magistrate is even more outrageous; he has never appeared in Qiu Shui Town.

If he had to wait for the county magistrate to come and judge, he would have to stay in the yamen for a long time!

What should I do with my family? What should I do with my mother? What should I do with my new wife and my younger sister?

Zhou Yimo grabbed the child and quickly escaped from the noodle stall.

When they reached a place where there were not many people around, Zhou Yimo let go of the little girl:

"You've got the wrong person! I—"

"I know!" the little girl spoke first.

Zhou Yimo: ...

You know, you're still like this?

Zhou Yimo was devastated. He shouldn't have eaten that bowl of noodles. No... he didn't deserve to eat noodles!

Zhou Yimo and the little girl stared at each other.

He wanted to scold her and tell her not to play pranks again next time.

But seeing the tears welling up in the little girl's eyes again, he sighed:

"I'm leaving, don't follow me!"

Zhou Yimo took the little girl's hand off the bag, and this time the little girl didn't pull hard.

Only then did Zhou Yimo feel at ease and carried his bag as he walked out of Qiu Shui Town.

But as he walked, he realized something was wrong and looked back:

Why did this little girl follow him?

"Why are you following me?"

Little girl: ...

The little girl remained silent. When Zhou Yimo walked, she followed him. When Zhou Yimo stopped, she stopped too.

"Where are you going?"

Little girl: ...

Zhou Yimo shook his head helplessly.

No matter how Zhou Yimo asked, she just kept a straight face and didn't say anything. If he talked too much, she would roll her eyes at him.

Well, he was meddling in other people's business!

This is the only road for people from nearby villages to travel to Qiu Shui Town.

He couldn't stop her from going down this path?

If you follow the wide road in Qiu Shui Town and walk a little further, you will find the fork in the road leading to each village.

She was wearing coarse clothes that were not very good. Maybe she was a child from some village!

Zhou Yimo wasn't sure whether the girl wanted to follow him or which village she was planning to return to, so he didn't dare to ask her and could only let her follow him.

As the sun sets, there are fewer and fewer people on the road.

After Zhou Yimo turned into the fork in the road leading to Lihua Village, he could no longer see anyone else on the road.

Zhou Yimo turned around again and saw that the little girl was still following him.

Even though Zhou Yimo was slow to react, he knew that the little girl was following him on purpose.

"Over there!" a fierce voice rang out.

When Zhou Yimo was about to stop and ask carefully, he suddenly heard several footsteps getting closer.

Then several men rushed out from the side, with fierce eyes, quick steps, and holding sticks, running towards him.

The little girl also heard the voice. She turned around and saw the person coming. She was so scared that her face turned pale. She ran straight to Zhou Yimo and hid behind him.

Zhou Yimo: “…”

Seven men ran up to Zhou Yimo, and one of them stared at him viciously:

"Boy, if you know what's good for you, get out of the way. We're going to take this girl away!"

These people actually came for this girl.

"Hey, brother, let's talk!"

Zhou Yimo looked at these ferocious-looking thugs who looked like they were not to be trifled with, and he felt a little nervous inside, but he did not show it on his face.

Seeing that this group of people didn't say anything, they just surrounded him and the little girl.

"Why do you want to take this little girl away?" Zhou Yimo took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

He planned to hold these bad guys back first so that the little girl could get to the city quickly.

But the little girl ignored his hint.

"Stop talking nonsense! Catch that girl! Don't let her get away again!"

The man standing at the back seemed to be the leader, and he was giving orders impatiently.

When the other six people heard this, some of them started to come forward to grab the little girl.

Someone saw Zhou Yimo standing in front of him and raised the stick in his hand, ready to hit him on the head.

It was at this moment that Li Qingqing happened to see this scene.

Li Qingqing: ...

She arrived just in time!

Li Qingqing quickly took out a small stone from the space and threw it at the person who took action.

At the same time, he mobilized his internal energy and ran towards Zhou Yimo at a high speed, kicked the other man away, and protected the little girl in front of him.

The stone hit the man's wrist accurately first. The man groaned, felt pain in his wrist, and the stick fell to the ground.

In a flash, Li Qingqing stood in front of Zhou Yimo and kicked away another man who was rushing towards her.

The remaining men realized that something was wrong and stopped what they were doing.

"What are you doing?!" There was a hint of coldness in Li Qingqing's eyes.

"Miss, you'd better not meddle in other people's business!"

The leader standing at the back frowned when he saw Li Qingqing suddenly appear.

"Ha! I'll take care of this trivial matter!" Li Qingqing sneered.

These people were extremely evil, and it was obvious they were not kind. How dare they bully the man she had chosen?!

If she had come a step later, she would have been a widow!

"We must take this girl away. If you dare to interfere, don't blame us for being rude."

The leader stared at Li Qingqing coldly.

"Big sister, save me! They are bad guys! They want to take me back!" the little girl shouted anxiously.

She was a little scared and her body was shaking violently. She grabbed the corner of Li Qingqing's clothes tightly and did not dare to look into the leader's eyes.

I finally managed to escape from the town, and I can't let them catch me no matter what!
