It's late at night.
Li Qian is polishing the crossbow.
Although the resin-lit lamp made him very strenuous, he must perfect the crossbow tonight.
Originally, he planned to buy a few candles, but he found that there were no candles in the world.
He couldn't understand how there could be no candles when the candle making process was so simple.
However, he didn't have the heart to think about all that mess.
His bait has been put out, maybe the bandits will come tomorrow.
He added an arrow box to the crossbow and improved the way to string it. Now the crossbow is not only fast to string, but also can automatically refill the arrows. Because it is replaced with iron arrows, the power is naturally much greater.
Even if he faced several enemies, he was sure to defeat them in one go.
Of course, he has also made some improvements in terms of portability. It can be folded and hidden on the body to prevent it from being easily discovered.
"Master, should we go and notify the Zhuang Mansion?" Yun Niang couldn't help but ask after putting Yaya to sleep.
Although Li Qi'an was very confident in what she said, she was not worried that it was impossible.
Notifying the Zhuang Mansion can also get the Zhuang Mansion's protection, otherwise she is really worried that something will happen to Li Qian.
Li Qian adjusted the crossbow's aim.
Then he aimed at an earthen wall ahead.
A sudden sound.
The arrow missed the earth wall directly.
"With that, are you still worried?"
Yun Niang opened her mouth in surprise.
This is a crossbow made by the master, it’s so powerful!
Li Qi'an suddenly discovered something embarrassing. He had only been demonstrating the power of the crossbow to Yun Niang, but he had ignored one thing.
The arrow didn't go into the wall, and I couldn't even dig it out.
He only made twenty arrowheads in total. The price of iron in Dacheng Dynasty was really too expensive.
Fortunately, these arrows can be used over and over again.
"Head of the family, what if Mrs. Zhang doesn't tell Hou San what you said when she goes back, or Hou San doesn't believe it at all?" Yun Niang was a little worried about this issue again.
After all, this kind of thing was too unbelievable. She couldn't even imagine what a salt mine meant.
Is this bait that I put too big?
"I said that people's hearts are greedy. I don't expect them to really believe it. I just need to arouse their greed." Li Qian said.
No matter which world you are in, greed is the original sin. Even if you tell a big lie, as long as the other person is greedy enough, he will take the risk.
"Then, will they report it to the official?" Yun Niang couldn't help but ask.
After all, if it involves salt, the government will take care of it.
"Do you think they will retaliate?" Li Qian asked.
Yun Niang shook her head.
"That's right, they are all colluding with the bandits, how can they report it to the official? Anyway, don't worry, with me here, everything will be fine!"
Li Qian patted her shoulder gently.
Although this action seemed to him to be just a common way of comforting him.
But Yun Niang's face suddenly turned red, because in her opinion, this was an extremely intimate act.
You must know that the previous head of the house had to wipe and wipe everything she took before using it.
She never expected anything extravagantly.
But now, her heart was racing like a deer.
Doesn't the head of the family dislike her anymore?
"Master, don't you think of me as a evil star?" She asked cautiously with her head lowered.
"Evil star? Do you think you will be an evil star?" Li Qian said with a dumb smile.
Only the original owner, the idiot, would treat such a good woman as a evil star.
Of course, this era is also too feudal and ignorant.
In his previous life, this kind of woman would have been the best.
In fact, God didn't treat him badly by sending him here, except that his life was a little harder.
Seeing that Yun Niang didn't say a word, Li Qian quickly said seriously.
"Yun Niang, I am very responsible now and I tell you very seriously that you are not a evil star!"
"And from now on, you will be my lucky star!"
Yun Niang's body trembled slightly, and when she raised her head, she could see a sparkle in her eyes.
Seeing such beautiful Yun Niang, Li Qian couldn't help but stroke Yun Niang's hair and said softly, "Okay, don't think too much, go to bed first. I have a few things to do before I go to bed."
With Li Qi'an touching her head so gently, Yun Niang felt a warm current pouring into her heart from the top of her head.
She pursed her lips, trying not to let her tears flow.
She even wanted to lean into Li Qian's arms like Yaya.
However, her rationality prevented her from doing so. The head of the household had other things to do, and she could not disturb him.
After Yun Niang left, Li Qian felt the lingering fragrance and warmth remaining on his hands.
Hey, actually he really wanted to do something just now.
As a normal man and his legitimate wife, and he has not been touched by the original owner, of course he doesn't mind what happens.
It's just that now, it doesn't seem to be the right time.
