It's obviously a life skill, but you developed it into a magical skill

Jingtang wood, also called wake wood, boundary square and fuchi.

A rectangular piece of hardwood with corners and edges.

Raise it and slap it on the table to deter the prisoner.

Sometimes it is also used to vent, to quiet down the crowd in the hall, and to have a solemn and majestic effect.

The lobby was already quiet, but with the slap of the alarm and the loud shout from County Magistrate Chen, the old man kneeling below shivered and was very frightened.

"Sir, I am the village chief of Qingliu Village. My name is Wang Shuan. I have something important to say when I come here this time."

The old village chief Wang Shuan was so frightened by Jingtangmu, how could he dare to hide anything?

He quickly revealed his identity and the purpose of his visit this time.

"Sir, all the children in the villain's village disappeared last night. The villain searched thoroughly all night and couldn't find them."

"I really had no choice, so I came to the county government office to beat the drum. I know you can't beat the drum randomly, but this matter is already a major event in my village."

"If the adults want to punish, please punish the villain, but you must help the village find the missing children."

He explained the truth of the matter one by one, and everyone present understood it clearly.

Zhou An stood by with an expressionless face, but he began to think carefully in his heart.

All the children disappeared overnight. This was a big case.

And it was a big case that occurred at this time.

It's not a big deal to sound the alarm in this situation, but the timing is a bit wrong.

Zhou An glanced at County Magistrate Chen, whose expression was really livid.

Now is the time when the Supervision Department is on inspection. If it is known that something happened on his side, the result is self-evident.

By then, you won’t even be able to pass the first level, and no matter how strong the essay test is, you won’t have a chance to be selected.

Magistrate Chen's face became increasingly blue, and in the end he was visibly angry, and the beard on his chin was trembling slightly.

Master Xu also stood aside. Although he was beaten twenty times, he endured the pain and stood up when it came to such a big event as drumming.

And when he heard the village chief down the hall talking, Master Xu naturally had an idea.

He had already offended the county magistrate by accepting gifts privately. Although the magistrate just slapped him, there was inevitably some grudge.

This is your chance to show off.

"Sir, it's time for inspection now. Why don't you let Capt. Sun and these agents go over there and check things out first."

Master Xu is also a smart man. How can he not understand what County Magistrate Chen means at this time?

He was slapped with a ban just now, but he was not removed from his post. Capt. Sun is still the captor.

The meaning is very simple. Since there is a shortage of people and the ship is already done, let's continue like this.

Now is the time when people are needed, and the dignified county magistrate cannot go to Qingliu Village to check in person.

Master Xu came up with this plan, which was just enough to offset the merit.

County Magistrate Chen pondered for a moment and said: "Forget it, just pick some detectives and go to Qingliu Village to investigate and find out who dares to cause trouble in Anding County."

Master Xu quickly responded and came to Capt. Sun: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and choose someone to go to Qingliu Village with me!"

Captain Sun was also standing nearby with his teeth bared, not daring to slack off at all.

Now that he heard Master Xu speak, he nodded quickly and prepared to choose someone.

The police had to keep some people aside. This time they were going to investigate, so we didn't need too many people.

But the area involved was too large, so Captain Sun selected half of the agents to stand by.

Magistrate Chen felt upset when he saw Mr. Sun grinning. He waved his hand and asked them to investigate quickly.

Capt. Sun didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't dare to say more. He sent two detectives to hold Village Chief Wang on the ground and left the county government office.

Coincidentally, it was not Zhou An's turn.

When Captain Sun was choosing someone, he thought that since he was going to investigate this time, he had to choose someone smarter.

Usually, Zhou An is very low-key, so he is a little transparent among the police officers.

That is to say, when everyone was laughing and chatting, they would start talking to each other, so Capt. Sun naturally ignored him.

Zhou An also enjoyed his leisure time.

He felt that if he wanted to find out this matter, there would be quite a lot of twists and turns involved.

What is the village?

In the Great Chu Kingdom, villages are a very magical thing.

Although the village is small, everyone is familiar with it, whether it is the surrounding neighbors or the beginning and end of the village.

Some villages are very united. When one party is in trouble, all parties support it. If something goes wrong at the beginning of the village, people at the end of the village will come to help.

With so many children missing in Qingliu Village, not only the interests of others have been harmed, but also the interests of one's own family have been harmed. How could they not be found after a whole night of searching?

To put it more seriously, it is not certain how it disappeared.

Zhou An felt that this investigation was probably a flower in the mirror.

"Old Zhou, I'm leaving." Yu Hang looked helpless.

Zhou An was not selected, but he was selected.

Captain Sun knew that he was busy with exams on weekdays.

Someone who can take part in the imperial examination is more useful than warriors like them, so I brought him along.

Zhou An waved his hand and waited until Sun Captou left with the others, then continued to work in the kitchen.

He did not continue to work hard as a chef.

After reaching the fourth level, you have to change your tricks again.

He planned to get Youlongbu and Dianwu to level 4 first, and then start cooking the knife.

He already has ideas for developing new skills, but he still needs to improve them.

Now he has attack, speed, and strength.

But if you think about it carefully, there are a lot of things missing.

What is lacking most now is a defensive skill.

His golden finger is different from others.

In a previous novel, he had seen a protagonist who could practice everything very quickly.

For defensive skills, I chose techniques such as the Golden Bell Cover and the Iron Cloth Shirt.

But he can’t do this!

He had to choose life skills.

"What should I choose as a defensive life skill?" Zhou An had an idea, but what to choose was quite a headache.

"Heart first, think while you are having trouble."

After making up his mind, Zhou An went to the kitchen and started practicing the tricks.

"I have someone living in my liver."

Zhou An was thinking while shaking the iron pot.

…

While Zhou An was gaining proficiency, Yu Hang and the others also arrived at Qingliu Village.

Qingliu Village is not far from Anding County.

Passing through a wilderness, it took only an hour to reach the destination.

This is a small village.

Normally, there would be smoke rising at this time, but when Yu Hang came here, he felt a sense of desolation, shrouding the entire village.

Before he even got closer, he could faintly hear crying.

Village Chief Wang was already very old, with sadness in his eyes. He sighed and said, "Everyone is very sad without the child. Sirs, please come with me."

He leads the way.

More than a dozen fishermen filed in.

When Yu Hang walked in, he felt an inexplicable coldness.
