After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Xie Xuan'an never expected that his life would be in danger when he came to Yuntai County to serve as the county magistrate.

If he were to choose again...

No! If he were reborn, he wouldn't do business. He'd learn Kung Fu! Learn Kung Fu!

Earlier, just after he sent Yunying to inform Mu Yunjing of the news, Guiying brought a group of killers to his residence.

The seven guards and ten shadow guards who were with him were all killed by the enemy, and he was eventually kidnapped by the enemy helplessly.

At this time, he was blindfolded and tied to a chair. There was deathly silence all around him and he didn't know where he was.

Xie Xuan'an forced himself to remain calm. The best news now was that he was still alive, and he was not killed right away. This meant that he could still live to see the person who really wanted to catch him.

Xie Xuan'an was already 90% certain that it was Mr. Liu who did it.

From the previous secret struggles with Mr. Liu, to the discovery of his iron mines and privately manufactured weapons, the other party blatantly kidnapped him, an official appointed by the imperial court, and had already developed the intention to kill him.

His death is inevitable.

Now it depends on whether he can delay time and wait until Yunying catches up with Mu Yunjing, and then Mu Yunjing and Li Feng come back to rescue him.

Or according to the agreement between him, Zhou An and Li Qingqing, they will come to Qiu Shui Town tomorrow night, find that he is missing, and come to find him.

In the worst case scenario, no matter who comes, they may only be able to collect his body.

After figuring out his situation, Xie Xuan'an became much calmer.

He secretly decided that if he could return alive, he would definitely train more capable people.

At this time, Xie Xuan'an had no idea that Zhou An had arrived in Qiu Shui Town in advance because of Xier's arrest, and was now waiting for him in Zuiyuexuan.

When the servants sent by Manager Qi arrived at Xie Xuan'an's residence, they found more than a dozen people lying in a disorderly manner on the ground. They were motionless and their lives or deaths were unknown.

The body was covered in blood and the air was filled with a strong smell of rust. It looked like the yard had just experienced a brutal massacre.

The waiter's heart tightened, and he had a premonition that something was wrong. He didn't dare to look carefully. He took a quick glance and didn't find the young master lying in the crowd. He immediately ran back to the restaurant and reported everything he saw and heard to the shopkeeper Qi.

When Manager Qi heard this, his face changed suddenly. He did not dare to delay and immediately told Zhou An about it.

"What? Brother Xie is missing?" After hearing this, Zhou Yimo, who had been drinking tea with a calm expression, quickly stood up, his tone full of shock and worry.

Shopkeeper Qi said in a deep voice, "According to the clerk, everyone in the residence was killed, but the young master was not seen among them. I'm afraid he was kidnapped."

"Come on, take me to see it!" Zhou Yimo was about to leave immediately after hearing that.

"Mr. Zhou, you can't do that for now. If there are bad guys hiding in the dark, it might be bad for you!" Shopkeeper Qi hurriedly stopped him.

Zhou Yimo calmed down immediately after hearing this.

That’s right, he is just a scholar, someone that even the shadow guards can’t deal with. Wouldn’t it be very dangerous for him to go there?

Xier's problem has not been resolved yet, and Xie Xuan'an has been kidnapped by someone unknown.

Zhou Yimo suspected that it might be done by Liu Yuanwai, the bully of Qiu Shui Town, but he had no evidence, so he had to wait for his wife to come and discuss it.

Now the person with the greatest hope of rescuing Xie Xuanan is only Mu Yunjing, but Mu Yunjing has probably not yet arrived at the Southern Protectorate, otherwise Governor Qian would have withdrawn the troops from Qiu Shui Town long ago.

Right now, no one knows where Mu Yunjing is, and even the shadow guards he left behind have been killed. Where can we contact him?

It seems that Xie Xuanan can only hope for the best this time.

He was saying, why did you have to think so much that you came to Yuntai County to be the county magistrate.

Ah, he is now acting as the county magistrate. Is it too late for him to resign from this position now?

Just as Zhou Yimo was anxiously thinking about his current situation, Li Qingqing finally arrived at Zuiyuexuan.

This morning, Li Qingqing went to the mountains to cut wood. She planned to cut down a large tree, which would be more than enough to make a mold.

But she suddenly thought that after the new house was built, she would need to make some furniture, and it was not easy to come to the mountains, so she cut down a few more trees and threw them into the space.

After returning to Lihua Village, she went straight to Carpenter Wang's house. When she was near his house, she saw that there was no one around, so she quickly took out a piece of wood from the space and carried it on her shoulder, then continued to walk towards Carpenter Wang's house.

Unexpectedly, Carpenter Wang was not at home. Seeing that no one was around, Li Qingqing simply moved all the wood out of the space and piled it in the yard of Carpenter Wang's house.

After doing all this, she planned to go home.

On the way, I met Carpenter Wang, who was holding the brick and tile mold he had made earlier. He was smiling, and when he saw Li Qingqing, he quickly called her and said proudly:

"I've mastered the technique of demoulding. Come with me."

Carpenter Wang brought Li Qingqing home. When he saw several logs piled in the yard, he was shocked. "Did you get this wood?"

"Yes, in addition to making molds, I'll also ask you to help build furniture with this wood in the future. I'll keep it with you for now."

Carpenter Wang thought it was the wood that Li Qingqing had someone bring over. He also happened to have good news to tell Li Qingqing, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He quickly put the brick mold on the table and said:

"Mrs. Zhou, look, if you soak this brick mold in water before taking out the clay, the wet clay can be easily removed from the mold.

If you stuff a layer of gauze inside the tile mold beforehand, you can easily remove the tile by gently lifting the gauze when the clay is half dry."

Carpenter Wang pulled out a half-dried tile wrapped in gauze and handed it to Li Qingqing to see.

"Carpenter Wang, this is a good method!" Li Qingqing was delighted.

Using gauze saves a lot of time compared to using beeswax, and it is easy to reuse. If beeswax is to be reused, it takes a long time to extract.

Li Qingqing was very happy and simply added fifty more sets of each item and asked Carpenter Wang to speed up the production.

After Li Qingqing said goodbye to Carpenter Wang, she went home to tell Zhou Yimo the news.

"Hey, is Grandma Zhao here? Yi Mo hasn't come back yet?" As soon as Li Qingqing returned home, she saw Grandma Zhao busy helping Zhou's mother make medicine.

"Zhou's wife, are you back? He went to Qiushui Town and said that your Xier was kidnapped."

As soon as Zhao's grandmother finished speaking, Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang heard that Li Qingqing had returned and quickly ran out of Zhou's mother's room.

"Big sister! Sister Xier has been captured by the bad guys!"

Li Qingqing was shocked and quickly followed Dashuang and Xiaoshuang to Zhou's mother's room.

After listening to Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang's account of what happened, and hearing that Zhou's mother actually stood up and walked, she hurriedly took Zhou's mother's pulse, checked her legs, and gave her a few acupuncture treatments with silver needles before she breathed a sigh of relief.
