Liu Zhimo explained his plan to Magistrate Ma again, and after hearing it, Magistrate Ma nodded his head in agreement.If the County Magistrate in the past had been so considerate towards the citizens, their lives would not have been so bitter.
Unfortunately …
Magistrate Ma shook his head, and took the initiative to say that he also wanted to learn.
He also had to protect his family, learn a few more things to protect himself, and gain a bit more hope of survival.
Liu Zhimo nodded and said, yes, as long as he wanted to learn, he would teach them.
In order to motivate the commoners, Liu Zhimo also learned from them. He had a foundation, he learned from Li Qingling a few years ago, so he learnt from him very quickly.
Seeing that Liu Zhimo was so powerful, the citizens all mustered up their courage and gritted their teeth as they continued to learn.
After a day, many of the citizens had pretty good archery skills. Liu Zhimo arranged for them to patrol with the guards at night first.
In the first half of the night, Liu Zhimo and Li Qingling had been watching the trap. Listening to the howls from the wolves coming from the Ningxia, their expressions were very solemn.
From the sound of it, the wolves were not small. Would their traps be able to stop them?
Li Qingling reached out his hands and patted Tiger, who was sitting beside her, to let him howl a few times as well, scaring the wolf pack.
Tiger heard this and immediately raised his head and shouted.
He nodded his head and joined in the liveliness, shouting along with Tiger.
Moments later, the howls of the wolves on the Ningxia died down.
Li Qingling and Liu Zhimo looked at each other, was there a chance?
"Tiger, nod. Keep shouting." If Tiger and the others could keep the wolves in check, that would be for the best.
Tiger howled a few more times before turning to look at Li Qingling and saying that it was only trying to intimidate the pack of wolves for a while. After a long time, it won"t do, so she had to be mentally prepared.
Li Qingling nodded his head. She did not completely rely on Tiger and the rest to intimidate them, so that the wolves would not dare to go down the mountain rashly. She wanted to give them more time to perfect the trap.
This year, they will do their best to keep the people from being attacked by the wolves.
When it was almost midnight, the snow started to fall harder and harder. Ling Yi walked over and asked Liu Zhimo to follow him back to his residence. They would be waiting here so they don"t have to worry.
The snow was falling too heavily, and he was worried that his parents" bodies would not be able to take it.
Liu Zhimo frowned. With the snow falling so heavily, torches would easily go out, and the moment the torches were extinguished, it would be the chance for the wolves to leave the mountain.
How to protect the torch?
"My wife, why don"t you go back to the manor first?" Let me see how I can preserve the torch. "
Seeing Li Qingling"s face turn red from the cold, his heart ached.
Li Qingling shook his head, saying that she would wait for him to return.
She patted the snow on her body and sighed in her heart. It would be difficult for her to keep the torch safe in this kind of weather.
"Husband, wake Ling Yi and the others up a bit more tonight. Keep a close eye on the tower.
Liu Zhimo thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he nodded his head and instructed Ling Yi and the rest to not fight the wolves head on and be cautious of their safety. Seeing that the situation was bad, he returned back to his residence.
Ling Yi replied respectfully.
Just as Liu Zhimo was about to leave with Li Qingling, Ah Huang suddenly howled. Li Qingling understood its words and turned back quickly. A pair of green eyes appeared at the foot of the mountain, causing her heart to skip a beat.
Here it comes...
"The wolves are coming down the mountain. Everyone be careful of your own safety." Liu Zhimo cried out, his eyes staring straight at the hungry wolf that was coming down the mountain, "Only one?"
"This wolf is here to test us." Li Qingling said in a deep voice as she patted Tiger"s head, "Tiger, I"ll leave it to you." They can"t look at it without giving it some color.
Tiger snorted, got up and ran out.
Seeing this, he was ready to make a move. He also wanted to fight with that d.a.m.ned hungry wolf for three hundred rounds.
Li Qingling lightly patted its head, telling it to obediently stay by her side to protect her. Otherwise, she would be afraid.
Hearing this, it sat down obediently, feeling very happy that Li Qingling needed it.
Liu Zhimo looked at the spot that was being easily coaxed, and shook his head, his gaze returning to Tiger.
Although he trusted Tiger, he was still a little nervous.
After waiting torturously for half an hour, Tiger returned with a hungry wolf in his mouth. He threw the wolf"s body in front of him with a bang and looked up with his head raised in a smelly fart.
"..."
He stretched out his claws and pushed the wolf"s body to the side, letting out a howl.
If it goes, it can kill it.
However, it wanted to protect its mistress, so it didn"t want to steal the limelight.
Tiger glanced back and raised his head to howl a few times. His intention was to warn the wolves that they were not allowed to go down the mountain, or else he would be killed without mercy.
If he wanted to go down the mountain, he would have to see whether it agreed or not.
It was unknown if it was because Tiger"s warning was working, but for the next few days, the wolves stopped moving. Even their howls stopped.
The people wondered if the wolves had left and would never go down the mountain again.
Wolves were the animals that bore grudges the most. If they killed their comrades, it was impossible for them to not take revenge and leave so easily.
They must have been waiting for the right moment to go down and attack them.
"Husband, you have to tell the people that the wolves will not leave so easily. You have to tell them not to let down their guard."
Li Qingling was worried that when the citizens let their guard down, the wolves would leave the mountain and the consequences would be unimaginable.
It would be better to lose the poultry, since the wolves would attack the people.
There weren"t many guards in the mansion, so it was impossible for them to protect so many commoners.
"Alright, I will remind them." Liu Zhimo couldn"t help but yawn. He hadn"t slept much these few days, which was a serious problem.
Li Qingling caressed the green and black light in front of him with a pained heart. Let him rest for a while, don"t force yourself, his body is more important.
Liu Zhimo leaned lightly on Li Qingling"s shoulder, "My wife, then I"ll sleep first. If there"s anything urgent, you must wake me up." With that, he fell asleep.
Hearing his even breathing, Li Qingling lowered her head and looked at him, calling him softly so that she could help him fall asleep on the bed.
He hadn"t slept for days, and his body couldn"t take the iron anymore.
"Madam, why don"t you take a rest as well?" Xi Chun consoled Li Qingling in a low voice. She had not rested well these few days, and saw that he had lost a bit of weight.
Li Qingling shook his head and said, No need.
She couldn"t sleep yet. She had to deal with sudden situations at any time.
Xi Chun let out a low sigh, poured a cup of tea and pa.s.sed it to Li Qingling, allowing her to drink a cup of tea.
Li Qingling took it and slowly drank a cup of ginseng tea. He felt that his mental state was a lot better than before, so she raised his head to look at Xi Chun and asked if she had made any trouble.
"Other than me looking for you and the adults at night, I"m fine with the rest of the time." Basically, Miss was a child that was easy to bring.
Even though she was young, she knew a lot. As long as he explained things clearly to her, she wouldn"t cry.
To be honest, she had never seen such a sensible child. Since her family"s children were half as sensible as Miss, she laughed secretly.
"Alright, I"ll go see her." Li Qingling stood up, "Before we finish all the wolves, I"ll have to trouble you to accompany me tonight. Does Liu Shi have any objections?"
"This is what I should do. What can he say?" Xi Chun blushed and replied softly.
Li Qingling chuckled and stopped teasing Xi Chun, afraid that she would anger the thin-skinned Xi Chun into a shameful state.
Two months ago, when he was a whole year old, Liu Shi finally returned with the beauty in his arms and married Xi Chun back.
She had asked Xi Chun for her opinion. Since she wasn"t willing to go out to live, she would make a small courtyard in the manor for him and her wife to live in.
Xi Chun still continued to be her Da Yahuan, wanting to move out of the residence only after returning to the capital.
She respected Xi Chun"s idea. It just so happened that Xi Chun could bring a few more people out, and after she followed Nian Xia out of the mansion, the others could replace them.
When he arrived at the courtyard Mr. Luo lived in, Li Qingling saw Xiaoxiao sitting in Mr. Luo"s embrace, reading the Three Character Cla.s.sic by Mr. Luo"s side in a childish voice.
Looking at the cute and obedient girl, she forcefully blinked her moist eyes and called out a "little" with a smile.
Hearing her cry, he raised his head slightly. When he saw her, he excitedly called out "Empress", and flapped his legs, about to descend to the ground.
Mr. Luo tapped her forehead and said that once she had a mother, he forgot about his great grandfather.
The little girl giggled, kissed Mr. Luo on the cheek, and said in a childish voice, "Greetings, Great Grandfather."
"You little mouth, you always know how to make your great-grandfather happy." Mr. Luo smiled dotingly, put the little girl down, and watched her run towards her mother with her two short legs upside down.
Li Qingling carried her and kissed her on the cheek, asking her if she missed her mother.
The little girl pouted, feeling wronged. She nodded and said, "Yes."
"I know my father and mother, but why didn"t I accompany you?"
Li Qingling asked softly as he held the little girl and sat on the chair, gently supporting her back.
The little girl"s little claws were tightly wrapped around Li Qingling"s neck, her chin was leaning on her shoulder, and she said with an "En". I know … Daddy... Mother … "He broke the wolf."
"s heart was as soft as water when she saw the little girl who couldn"t even speak properly. Her cheeks lightly touched the little girl"s cheeks, saying that after driving the bad wolf away, she and her father would properly accompany her.
"Alright …" The little girl grinned happily.
"Then is Xiaoxiao obedient here at Great Grandfather"s place? "Hmm?"
"Good boy …" The little girl immediately opened her mouth and turned her head to look at Mr. Luo, wanting to ask Mr. Luo to help her prove it, "Great Grandfather …"
Towards the words of a precious baby, Mr. Luo would never shake his head. He said with a smile, a little girl is very obedient, not only will she study with her great grandfather, she will even pour some tea for him to drink.
"Empress …"
"Hmm …" Li Qingling kissed his cheeks as if he was giving him a reward, "Such a small thing, mother is so happy."
Upon hearing the praise, the little girl happily jumped twice as she called out to the Empress.
Before Li Qingling could respond to her, Eleven ran in to report that the wolves had gone down the mountain and that some of the citizens had been injured.
