"The soapberry tree is good as a tree wall, but it can only keep out scoundrels. The real enemy has a hundred ways to remove this obstacle. For now, you should either build a wall around it or build a few high towers at the four corners of the village to keep an eye on the situation outside at all times."
Zhou Wuchang said: "However, the number of men in your village is not enough to fight against more than 500 enemies. If you want to win, you have to make good arrangements and train men who can fight against the enemy frequently."
Yingbao was discouraged.
She thought her master had some good ideas, but he ended up giving her this advice.
It is possible to train the villagers, after all, they have experienced an attack by bandits last time, but how should they be arranged
No matter how it is arranged, it will probably require financial support.
Yingbao planted dozens of kudzu vines and scattered a lot of herb and wild vegetable seeds.
Such as astragalus, wormwood, cnidium monnieri, communis, mugwort, plantain, etc., and some fern seeds were scattered in the wild.
Afterwards, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Wuchang and the eldest senior brother, he took out a small gourd and watered the newly planted kudzu vines and various herb seeds.
Zhou Wuchang asked curiously: "Yingbao, since you can put things in and take them out, can you go in by yourself?"
Yingbao blinked.
She had never tried whether she could get in, but she had taken her family's chickens and hedgehogs in before, so she thought she could get in too. Otherwise, how could she eat in the cave
Ying Bao glanced at her master and shook her head: "No, you can only take things in, not live people."
Zhou Wuchang felt a little regretful.
But I am lucky to meet such a funny person.
Maybe this child is the key to my success.
In the evening, Yingbao and her master and fellow brothers returned home. Chunniang and Old Lady Xu had also wrapped pork and leek dumplings and were preparing to cook them.
Seeing Master Zhou and his disciples coming back, he asked them to sit down.
Yingbao didn't see her brothers, so she turned back to the school to call for help.
Now that Li Xu has gone to take the exam, there is no one teaching in the advanced class. The twenty students in the classroom are mainly studying on their own or practicing archery with Zhang Meng.
Some people who don't like practicing martial arts play chess or music according to the chess and music scores, or play the piano to practice chess skills and music.
The brothers Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu were still in the martial arts training ground, sparring with Wei Zhan, Hu Zi, Yuan Bao, Zhang Min and others.
Also sparring with them were the children of the village, including Xiao Yao.
"Go home quickly and eat dumplings!" Yingbao shouted a few times, then went to find her father and Mr. Wu.
When the children heard about eating dumplings, they immediately became excited.
Zhang Min took everyone to the pond to wash their hands and faces, and then the group returned to Jiang Sanlang's house.
Chunniang and her friends made a lot of dumplings and filled several plates with them.
When cooking, two large pots are used together, and the dumplings are ready very quickly.
Sanlang Jiang and Mr. Wu also rushed back, and everyone sat at two large tables to eat dumplings.
Seeing that there were not enough dumplings, Yingbao brought out a few jars of juice and wine from the house.
Mr. Wu loved this drink the most, and he and Zhou Wuchang drank it together.
After dinner, Yingbao called her parents into her room and said to them, "Dad, Mom, don't blink, look to see if I'm in the room."
Having said that, he instantly entered the cave.
She wandered around the cave for quite a while and buried a lot of seeds in the soil.
When he appeared later, he saw his parents were shocked.
"Bao'er, you disappeared just now." Chun Niang grabbed her daughter and asked nervously, "Did you learn the invisibility technique from Master Zhou?"
There is a rumor among the people that Taoist priests have magical powers and can make people blind by covering their eyes with a leaf. It seems to be true.
Yingbao asked: "How long have I been gone?"
Jiang Sanlang: "It takes about the time of an incense stick."
Yingbao nodded.
It’s about the same time as I estimated.
She grabbed Ah Niang again and said, "Mom, let me try to see if I can take you with me to become invisible."
Chunniang didn't know what to say, so she just nodded in agreement.
Yingbao grabbed Chunniang, concentrated and recited silently, and then appeared in the cave again.
Looking at A Niang who came in with her, Ying Bao was a little excited.
It’s actually possible to bring people in! That’s great!
And she can enter the cave completely, so she won't be afraid of encountering bad people in the future.
Chunniang was stunned by the scene before her.
She pointed around with trembling hands and asked, "Bao'er, where is this? Are you really a fairy child?"
Yingbao smiled and said, "I am not a fairy child, but I have a magical cave."
This cave appeared suddenly, and she didn't know why. Anyway, it was there in her previous life, and it was still with her in this life. She thought the cave must be her exclusive place.
Chunniang looked at the rows of mushroom jars, then glanced at the pool not far away, rubbed her eyes, scooped up a handful of water from the pool, and then blew it on her face.
The water is cool and has a fresh scent.
"Bao'er, so the Golden Ear is here?" Chunniang looked at the giant glowing ball in the pool again and asked, "Is that the sun?"
Yingbao shook her head: "It's not the sun, but it shines."
Chunniang gradually recovered from her shock, walked to the edge of the pond, touched the large gourd boat floating on the water, and exclaimed: "It turns out that Baoer has had divine objects since he was a child. These large gourds were also planted by Baoer himself, not given by the gods."
"Yeah." Yingbao did not deny it and said, "I wanted to grow more food, but I can't handle it alone."
Chunniang's eyes widened immediately and she said, "In the future, bring your parents in and we'll help you plant the crops."
My daughter's place looks extraordinary, it would be a waste not to plant something there.
No wonder everything I grow is better than others, it turns out there is a pond of good water. Other people's fruit trees take three or four years to bloom and bear fruit, but mine blooms in the second year, and is already full of fruit in the third year.
Yingbao also had the same idea.
She didn't know how to take care of farmland, and she had never made any serious plans about what to plant and what not to plant. She just picked the things that tasted good and planted them.
But after the fruit trees bloom and bear fruit, many of the fruits are wasted.
Brewing wine is too cumbersome, boiling fruit juice is also very tiring, and I also have to make the medicine pills myself. There are so many things to do that I am really not only focusing on the overall situation but also the overall work.
Chunniang originally wanted to do it now, because she saw that the golden fungus and snow fungus were all ripe, and if they were not picked, they might shrink and dry up.
But her husband was still waiting outside, and she was afraid that he would get impatient and start yelling. "Bao'er, let's go out first, and see if you can bring your dad in as well."
"Okay." Yingbao nodded, took A Niang's arm, and went out silently. Then the two of them appeared in front of Jiang Sanlang.
Jiang Sanlang was indeed anxious, but he didn't dare to move a step and just stood there for a quarter of an hour.
Seeing his wife and daughter coming out, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you go?"
Chunniang pursed her lips and smiled: "You will know in a moment."
After saying this, he motioned to his daughter to take action.
Yingbao was just thinking about whether she could bring the two people in, so she grabbed her parents' arms and slipped into the cave.
It turns out that it is possible.
She was pleasantly surprised.
In this way, she will no longer be afraid of the heroine or the heroine.
If you encounter war and chaos, the worst that can happen is that you take your family and hide in a cave, where you can stay for ten days or half a month before coming out.
