On this day, Li Qingshan was forging iron in his shack.

With the iron materials sent by the Qi, Meng, and Tian families, he had gathered enough raw materials to build the monster spawner. The next step was to make the iron cage.

Ding ding ding.

The iron billet obediently changed shape under his hammer.

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage drove up the locust tree slope.

The escorting men were several soldiers whom Li Qingshan had never seen before.

"So you are Li Qingshan?" The leading soldier asked with a dark expression.

"Who are you?"

"You've committed a crime. Come with us."

Li Qingshan was stunned, and instinctively wanted to resist.

Having done so many things, which one was the most wrong?

On second thought, I decided not to rush into action and to observe first.

If they fought with the government troops, they would have nowhere to go in the north, and they would have to give up their good, dangerous land.

"The CEOs..."

As soon as Li Qingshan stepped out of the shack, several soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tied him up with water-soaked hemp ropes.

Finally, a black cloth was placed over Li Qingshan's face.

Li Qingshan was shoved into the carriage, the wheels creaking and turning as it went downhill.

He wasn't too worried, after all, he still had the strength, and although the rope was thick, he could easily break free with a little effort.

The key question is, where are they taking me?

I racked my brains the whole way, but still couldn't come up with any clues.

Gradually, the car came to a stop, and a commotion could be heard outside.

Is this the city gate of Qingniu Pass?

This place is the most lively in the north.

The wheels rolled over the stone slabs, which were different from the dirt road they had just traveled on.

Li Qingshan had no idea what was outside; he only felt the carriage twist and turn before finally coming to a stop.

"Did you bring the person?"

"I brought it."

"Should we send him to jail first?"

牢?

Li Qingshan felt a jolt of fear; it was too late to resist now.

He was led off the carriage and gradually walked inside until he was finally taken to a prison cell.

There seemed to be no windows here; Li Qingshan could feel that the air around him was not moving.

He was completely bewildered; he had been strangely thrown into the Qingniu Pass prison.

Even though I have some strength, it won't be easy for me to escape from here.

It was either because he had killed the barbarian young master, or because the Tian family had hired government officials to deal with him.

If it's the latter, then there's no need to worry too much.

Li Qingshan took a deep breath and decided to wait and see, slowly looking for an opportunity to escape.

Having made up my mind, I calmed down and slowly waited for the right time.

Everything became very quiet, very quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, the cell door creaked open and then closed.

Li Qingshan only heard the sound of one person's footsteps.

Immediately afterwards, something pressed against his chest.

This is a knife.

With a little force, the water-soaked hemp rope snapped.

A warm body rushed into Li Qingshan's arms.

Li Qingshan touched a thick ponytail.

……

As the sun began to set, a carriage departed from Qingniu Pass.

Halfway there, they threw Li Qingshan off the carriage and drove away.

Li Qingshan got up from the ground and stretched his body.

He looked around and realized that it was still quite a distance from the Big Locust Tree Slope, and he estimated that it would take him some time to walk there.

Li Qingshan, his legs aching, walked towards the locust tree slope.

By the time they reached the bottom of the slope, the sun was almost setting, and several horse-drawn carriages were parked there.

Upon seeing Li Qingshan arrive, Tian Wuwang, Meng Haitao, and Qi Shengtian came to greet him.

"Mr. Aoyama, our illness has flared up again. Please, please give us some antidote."

The three of them tilted their heads back, and more powder fell off their faces, revealing tender fleshy buds underneath.

"Okay, I understand. You guys wait here."

As they watched, Li Qingshan went up the slope and soon returned, carrying three cloth bags.

Upon seeing the cloth bag in Li Qingshan's hand, the three men's hearts sank to the bottom.

This antidote is exactly the same as the last one.

"Does Mr. Qingshan have a cure?" Meng Haitao asked tentatively.

"What do you mean by 'eradicate the root'? I don't know. It's just a folk remedy from my hometown," Li Qingshan said. "If you don't want it, then forget it."

"Yes, yes," Meng Haitao replied immediately, the excruciating pain from his ravaged face was unbearable for him.

"We're all in the North, and I'm happy to be able to help you. Let's help each other out, you help me, I help you..."

"I wonder, is there anything we can do for Mr. Qingshan?" Tian Wuwang understood the unspoken meaning in Li Qingshan's words.

"Oh dear, it's nothing. I just want to take advantage of the winter off-season to fence off the Big Locust Tree Slope. You know, this area isn't very safe, and who knows what strange things might get in."

"We'll deliver the firewood tomorrow," Tian Wuwang said immediately.

Li Qingshan smiled and distributed the medicine packets to the three of them.

After receiving the medicine, the three of them eagerly applied it to the wounds on their faces, and the itching gradually subsided.

Looking up at the slope, Li Qingshan was no longer there.

"He knew we would come," they all exclaimed.

"They've got us cornered!" With Li Qingshan gone, Meng Haitao no longer bothered to hide his viciousness.

"It's no use," Tian Wuwang shook his head, his mouth feeling like it had swallowed bitter herbs. "Without the antidote, nothing we say will make a difference."

The three looked up at the slope, filled with both anger and despair.

The one who suffered the most was Tian Wuwang. The Qi and Meng families only lost some business, but he got entangled with Eunuch Bai and couldn't get the antidote, so the Tian family's future was over.

……

Li Qingshan returned to Huai Shupo, shook the bell, and told the living corpses in the field to hide first.

The wood will be delivered tomorrow, so that the living corpses in the field won't frighten anyone.

The little black horse neighed, its voice filled with undisguised grievance.

He should be galloping across the grasslands, bullying little mares, but now he's toiling in the fields, being driven by whips.

Now that the plowing is finally finished, I can finally rest.

Li Qingshan inspected the farmland. Apart from the three mu of barren land, all the wasteland he had reclaimed had been plowed up, and the fresh soil had been turned to the surface.

However, it hasn't rained for a long time, and the farmland is a bit dry.

Although I don't plan to sow before winter, it would be best to irrigate now.

However, my field is quite far from the river. It seems I'll have to trouble the zombie laborers to make several trips.

Suddenly, an idea struck Li Qingshan.

He took out a yellow gourd from the house, removed the stopper, shook it, and poured out the water ghost, Ah Die.

She looked at Li Qingshan with disheveled hair and wet eyes.

Li Qingshan pointed to the river in the distance, and then to the farmland nearby.

After understanding Li Qingshan's meaning, Adie's eyes widened suddenly.

His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.

Li Qingshan took out a copper coin for exorcising ghosts.

Ah Die's eyes immediately narrowed.
