o also said, “Yes, we need to have people on guard day and night from now on. It’s best to build a shed on the mountaintop above the cave as an observation post, and someone should guard the opening o...Unfortunately, the Lord wouldn't say, having made up his mind to keep it a secret. "Be at ease, in two or three years, you will definitely get to see it."
Even though Jia Yin tried her best to be cute, it didn't work. She could only stick out her tongue and stopped asking.
At night, all was silent. Outside and within the village, no one moved except for the patrolmen.
Every household, young and old, was asleep, especially in Ercun.
Thirty new recruits tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
After all, not having to constantly hold a weapon in their hands and remain vigilant at all times felt very strange to them.
But perhaps the night was too quiet, perhaps the warm kang beneath me was too hot, perhaps I had eaten too much for dinner.
Let their restless hearts settle down slowly, and finally snores filled the house...
A good sound wouldn't be so leisurely.
After dinner, she went into the room and slept for two hours before starting to get busy.
These thirty veterans went out exactly according to her plan to find things for her, and their life safety was her responsibility.
After all, it wasn't easy for them to survive and return from the north. If they were lost in Jiangnan, or on the way to find medicine and saplings for her, she would feel guilty!
So, she meticulously made a list. From convenient clothing like trousers and shirts, to high boots, a neck protector against mosquitoes, insect repellent powder, medicine for injuries, poison for self-defense, a shovel for digging medicinal herbs, transport for traveling, a waterproof oilcloth raincoat, a simple tent...
Of course, the most important thing is weapons!
Previously, I dug three feet deep, taking out all the metal objects in the space and crafted a saber. As a result, Father gave it to Big Brave Uncle.
As a result, nowadays father still uses a longbow and dagger, without having a suitable longsword.
This time, no matter what I say, I have to make arrangements for Father again. Besides, thirty old soldiers, each must have at least one dagger...
This way, the consumption of metal is quite significant.
There's no other way, I can only dig six feet deep again!
The front yard, the back yard, and even the vegetable garden had all been meticulously scraped clean by Jia Yin.
Even, the everyday tools like shovels, hoes, and pickaxes had their "iron heads" removed.
Jia Yin doesn't understand iron or steel, the difference between these metals, their advantages and disadvantages.
But since it's a product from Tian Wu, the technology should be much better than what they have. Sending them all out means more people can benefit from them, even if some don't end up using them, at least we tried our best.
Of course, there wouldn't be a shortage of farming tools here. After all, she had secretly collected quite a few when they left Qing Shui Village earlier.
Needless to say, a long row of jars lined up under the wall.
If there's a chance later, just throw it away. Every time she sees this thing, she feels so disgusted!
After a long time's work, there was only a small harvest gathered in the yard.
Jia Yin was a little disheartened, it seemed like she didn't have enough.
At that time, the three hungry dogs ran over and barked twice, then pulled Jia Yin's pants leg back.
Jia Yin thought that once a fruit was ripe, this little foodie would share it. So she went over to eat a few bites and rest for a while.
But, the little fox actually went to the corner of its own territory and dug quickly a few times.
A dark metallic corner suddenly appeared!
Jia Yin was overjoyed, but with her small arms and legs, she couldn't even lift a finger.
Only able to move spiritual energy, guiding the power of the entire space.
Soon, something big emerged from the ground.
Jia Yin endured the dizziness, turning her head back and forth to take a look around before finally understanding.
This is an iron roller. When I was little, grandpa used to pull this behind our family's small four-wheeled truck to till the fields.
It was probably abandoned later and left here. After years, it was buried in the soil and not easily found.
This behemoth weighs several hundred pounds. Don't even talk about fighting it with thirty daggers, or even thirty longswords – thirty longswords wouldn't be enough!
But Tianwu should have regulations regarding weapons; not everyone can carry a long sword around.
Before, because the world was in chaos and people fled everywhere to escape, they only cared about self-preservation.
Now that you are settled in the Jiangnan region, it's probably not possible to remain there peacefully.
I can't help but have to ask my godfather for help with this…
"San Tiao, you are amazing!" Jia Yin happily hugged the little fox and spun around.
The little fox was extremely proud, proudly raising its chin and chattering incessantly.
Jia Yin guessed around, saying that she was grilling rabbits, only then did the little fox wag its tail crazily.
So, the man and the fox came to an agreement and went to the front yard, where they found two rabbits who readily offered themselves...
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, the Marquis was practicing martial arts in the courtyard when he saw Jia Yin climbing over the wall, waving her chubby little hands and calling out in a low voice, “Uncle, please help me!”
The Lord was startled and quickly jumped onto the wall, only to see Jiayin standing on a ladder with one foot on it and the other hanging in mid-air, clinging onto the top of the wall.
The little fox stuck out its tongue, exhausted from using all its strength. It was trying hard to lean between the ladder and the wall, borrowing strength from its little master.
The lord found this amusing and quickly picked up the chubby girl, rescuing the little fox as well.
"What mischief have you been up to this morning"
The lord held his daughter, shouldering the little fox, and jumped down from the wall.
Jia Yin giggled, she wanted to leave through the front door but was afraid of waking up her family. So she thought about climbing the ladder and going over the wall.
Helpless... She overestimated the strength of her chubby arms and legs!
Her arm was clambering up, but her legs wouldn't budge. If it wasn't for the little fox desperately saving her master, she would have already tumbled head over heels down the wall.
"Father, I got something good! It can make dozens of excellent swords!" Jiayin quickly changed the subject and pulled her foster father towards the garden behind them.
Li's vegetable garden became a yard, but Ye's and Cui's still remained.
Mr. Li usually comes in and out of here to plant and pick vegetables every day.
At this moment, the iron roller was placed near the small door connecting the front and back, accompanied by a pile of picks and shovels.
As soon as the Marquis entered, he saw him. He put down Jia Yin and stepped forward to examine him carefully, also very pleased.
Li Yong knew the origin of that saber. If he could forge another thirty or so, he could arm a small squad and be able to defend himself!
"Good stuff, these are really good things!" the Marquis said. "How do you plan to arm Old Hei and his men"
Jia Yin patted the iron roller and chuckled, nodding at her godfather, "Godfather, I want everyone to have a saber. Not just Old Hei Shu and his men, but my father needs one too. If there are any left over, I want to give two to my義 brother and Liu Yang gege."
And then there's my older brother and Jia Huan, Jia Xi, Jia An, Li, and Mao. They don't practice martial arts, but their attendants all carry daggers just in case something happens, so they can be of some help.
Also, it would be best if Uncle Jiang Cheng also got a share of the saber. Every time my father and Uncle Da Yong come back, it's Uncle Jiang Cheng who guards the dock. I want to give him a gift as a thank you!
The Marquis sighed inwardly, crouched down and hugged the little girl. "You, little one, you're only a few years old, and your heart is already filled with so many people and so many things! Sometimes, your godfather really worries about you!"
"Don't worry, Godfather!" Jiayin patted her godfather's shoulder with her little chubby hand, still smiling. "Whoever is good to Funiu, Funiu wants to be even better to them. But what if these things become knives and someone causes trouble"ould there be a miracle at this pointShe gritted her teeth in hatred. She used to call him "brother" sweetly and often mention how close their families were. Now, she doesn't remember any of it, does...
