"Ah Xu, so this is why you insisted on staying at the blacksmith's shop."
"Sister, when I first stayed at the blacksmith's shop, I hadn't seen the blueprints yet," Qiu Xu said cautiously, afraid of being punished by his sister.
"Drawings?" Qiu Yan had never given her younger brother any of the sketches she had drawn.
Qiu Xu looked at Gu Qian and gave a stiff laugh, "I got it from my senior brother."
Qiu Yan remained silent. She had originally considered finding a blacksmith, but fearing that people would find out, she simply entrusted the task to Gu Qian and let him make it.
"I don't object to your liking forging, but don't bring trouble upon yourself."
If people with ulterior motives find out about firearms, it will cause trouble.
"I see."
Qiu Xu lowered his eyes and nodded silently.
"Originally, I also wanted to forge self-defense weapons for my older sister, master, and younger sister."
Qiu Yan smiled faintly, "Ah Xu, you're so thoughtful."
She always knew that her younger brother was a thoughtful person.
Although he remained silent, it didn't mean he had no thoughts in his mind.
"Ah Xu, your senior brother wants some too." Gu Qian was ignored once again.
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xu quickly ran out, and when he returned, he was carrying several short knives of varying lengths.
"These were all forged by myself, what do you think?"
Qiu Yan picked up a short knife and examined it carefully. Although the workmanship was not exquisite, it was already quite good for her younger brother.
"That's right, I'll take this one, sister."
Gu Qian then picked up another short knife and joked:
"Ah Xu, do you want to be a blacksmith in the future?"
Qiu Xu shook his head. "I'm just interested."
Zhou Zifang and Gao Chong visited Lingnan Village and experienced local customs and culture they had never encountered before.
Qiu Xu has two days off today and tomorrow and isn't in a hurry to leave. His two classmates aren't in a hurry either.
It was Zhou Zifang and Gao Chong's first time staying at a farmhouse, so they decided to stay for one night because it was a novel and interesting experience.
Late at night, they stayed in Qiu Xu's room.
Qiu Xu's originally spacious bed became cramped because of the two of them.
That night, everyone else slept, but Qiu Yan lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
What happened today has left her terrified.
Unable to sleep, she kept recalling the moves Gu Qian had taught her, and gradually drifted off to sleep.
The next morning, she learned the moves from Gu Qian as usual.
The mountains and forests were muddy, so she practiced martial arts and exercised by the stream in front of her door.
At dawn, Jiang Liu saw the scene before the stream and silently admired it. No wonder Qiu Yan was able to save her from danger that day.
It turns out that a master had given them guidance.
She felt that Qiu Yan was her savior. If it weren't for her, she would still be living a dark and hopeless life in the Tang family.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang came out of the house and looked at the two people in the distance.
Father Jiang gently looked at her and said, "Am I seeing things? General Gu is teaching Miss Qiu Yan martial arts?"
Watching Qiu Yan's powerful movements, it was the first time he had realized that Qiu Yan knew martial arts.
“You’re not mistaken, Xiaoyan is my savior.” Jiang Liu then told her parents about how Qiu Yan saved her in front of Xingyue Tower.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang clenched his fists. "Is this really true? This is outrageous!"
Jiang's mother was still a little scared. "My poor daughter, why did that thug target you?"
"They were all Tang Yi's former concubines, driven by jealousy. Sigh, it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
The person is dead, so there's no way to investigate.
Father Jiang's palms were sweating profusely. Thankfully, his daughter was unharmed; otherwise, he would have definitely sought revenge on Tang Yi. "When did this happen? Why didn't you tell your father sooner?"
Jiang Liu smiled calmly, "Isn't this because I was afraid you'd worry?"
