Chapter 248 Life in Jubaoyuan is getting better and better!
It has to be said that work is easier with more people. Soon the young men dug a deep pit, about two meters deep and two or three meters wide. After the pit was dug, Zhaocai and Jinbao started to lead people to cut branches nearby.
A lot of branches were cut to cover the trap, so you can’t tell from the outside that there is a pit underneath!
Jinbao also used a piece of red silk to tie it to a tree in front of the trap to prevent people from falling!
Shen Ruyi looked at the completed trap and said, "Okay, let's go find Old Jin to dig herbs together. I'll take a look over here and just put some hay or something."
Zhaocai Jinbao knew that his master had a set of hunting secrets, so they quickly took a few servants to guard the house and went to Old Man Jin on the mountain.
Shen Ruyi took the maids to check the trap. Shen Ruyi arranged for the two maids to go to the woods and gather some thatch for use!
Xiaohong and Xiaobi came over with a pile of straw each. Shen Ruyi took off her small bamboo tube and scattered it on the straw. She told two maids to throw the straw into the trap from one side.
Seeing the trap was restored, Shen Ruyi led the maids down the mountain slowly. Old Man Jin looked at them from afar on the mountain and said with a smile: "It's really interesting. This young lady is so naive. She thinks that if we just pour some water and throw some straw, the big trap can catch the prey?
It would be a fool to think that there are animals on this mountain. It would be strange if this young lady could catch prey..."
Zhaocai and Jinbao watched their wife go down the mountain. They worriedly told a few servants to be careful and follow the old man to collect herbs, and then they quickly escorted Shen Ruyi down the mountain.
Shen Ruyi led his men slowly back to the back door of Jubao Garden and saw that the courtyard wall of Jubao Garden was made of wooden stakes. Although it was made of trees, it was surrounded by tree trunks that were nearly two meters high!
“It brings in wealth and treasure. Although this wall is very high and strong, it is still easy for thieves to climb in.
Zhaocai, take your people to the mountain, find a way to get some thorns back, and throw the thorns outside the courtyard wall to prevent thieves from climbing in!
Jinbao, go chop down a small tree, drive a wooden stake every ten meters, and pull a rope half a meter above the ground to make a simple horse trip lock..."
Before Shen Ruyi could finish her words, she heard the old man on the mountain screaming and howling!
"Oh! Wild boars! A group of wild boars have gone crazy..."
Shen Ruyi smiled and said, "Cai Cai Jin Bao, you two go up and take a look, bring a few more guys to get all the wild boars down, if there are any small wild boars, don't kill them, bring them back and raise them first!"
Zhaocai and Jinbao both smiled and clasped their fists: "Yes, Madam! Please be careful. We will go up and take a look. Once the wild boar is down, we will do what you told us to do!"
Shen Ruyi nodded with satisfaction, and returned to her own courtyard with her maid. She told Uncle Zhang to go to the front courtyard to inform the maids hired by the family to prepare a big pot to boil water. The servants and guards had hunted a wild boar and would bring it back soon!
In an instant, the entire Jubao Garden was in an uproar. The women and servants and guards were all extremely happy. Life in Jubao Garden was really getting better and better.
Shen Ruyi was in a good mood. She sat in the room, took out her pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started writing a letter to her mother.
She first reported that she was safe and well, and then asked her mother if her younger brothers and sisters and Wanqian were doing well now.
She also said that the environment in Jiangnan was very good and not cold at all. She wanted to grow more vegetables and grain to support her brothers who were fighting outside.
She lives very happily in Shenjiazhuang. This is where she lived when she was a child. She really likes it here. When she has time, she will go to visit her grandfather's grave.
Shen Ruyi told her mother not to worry about her and asked her parents to take good care of her younger brothers and sisters!
Dafei and Erfei were hunting in the forest on the mountain. In the evening, the two eagles came back. Shen Ruyi brought Dafei and Erfei into the house and told them to deliver the letter the next morning. He rewarded them with a bowl of spiritual spring water. The two eagles were as smart as little babies and kept nodding and bowing to show that they understood!
The yard was already bustling with the preparations for slaughtering pigs. A big wild boar and three little wild boars were caught in Shen Ruyi's big pit. The little wild boars were not very small, but not big either, perhaps about 40 or 50 kilograms. They were all raised in a temporary pigpen by Uncle Zhang.
Big Zhang and Little Zhang were busy. Today the host's family was holding a pig-slaughtering banquet, and the two sisters-in-law were so busy that they had no time to rest.
A big wild boar weighs about 200 pounds. The women cut several baskets of radishes, boiled several large pots of dried radishes, and stewed all the pork. Old man Jin saved the pig bones and trotters to keep for Shen Ruyi's body!
Uncle Zhang even made the blood sausage himself. The tempting meaty aroma in the air was so tempting that one could hardly help but drool!
At dinner time, Shen Ruyi ate the pig-killing dish as she wished. She ate happily and sat there imagining that in the near future, there would be two little kids accompanying her at the dinner table. How great!
Shen Ruyi is a sensible person. She never eats with her subordinates because she thinks that master and servant should behave like master and servant, otherwise the rules will be broken and there will be no order.
As a single woman, if she breaks the rules, someone might have improper thoughts about her in the future.
Because a pig was slaughtered in Jubao Garden tonight, the aroma of meat wafted far away. The bandit spy Sanmaozi really couldn't bear it anymore, so he ran back home to call for reinforcements!
The leader of a group of bandits in Xiaoxi Mountain was called Vulture. He had heard in Xiaoxi Mountain a long time ago that Xiaobao Mountain and Jubao Mountain here were sold to a wealthy lady from the capital!
Those two hills are close to Daqiong Mountain. There are some flat lands nearby. It is far from the official road. It is so poor that even a rabbit cannot even shit there!
I don’t know if that lady was kicked in the head by a donkey or what?
Those two small hills are backed by Mount Daqiong. Even if they wanted to rob people on weekdays, they were too embarrassed to go there because it was so damn poor!
That lady actually had enough money to buy so many places and build a big manor, which shows that the lady was very wealthy.
So Vulture and his group of about twenty people kept their eyes on the Treasure Garden. Every now and then at night, three or two of them would come and try to crawl into the farm to take a look. However, every time they came, they were beaten, with either their legs or arms broken.
Seeing that six or seven of his men were injured and some were limping, Vulture became a little angry. Today, Sanmaozi came back and said that he could smell the smell of meat coming from Jubao Garden, so Jubao Garden must be preparing the pig slaughtering dish.
Vulture is not a good womanizer, he is just very greedy. He really can't resist the temptation when he hears this.
In the middle of the night, he bravely took ten brothers, rode two skinny horses, and rushed to the foot of the mountain of Jubao Garden.
Looking at this huge manor, Vulture was stunned. It would cost a lot of money to build such a big manor!
Bald Eagle asked his subordinate Sanmaozi, "Are you sure there are guards in Jubao Garden? Do you know how many there are?
Humph! We have too few family members, so let's take the lead tonight and rush in to grab some meat to eat!
If that doesn't work, let's go to Gongjiling, fifty miles away, to find Wu Dakezi.
Wu Dakezi of Gongjiling has at least one or two hundred men under his command. He is very prestigious in Yushan County!
If our two families work together to take over this Jubao Garden, I guess we won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives.
Brothers, take out your knives! Kill people... set fire and steal meat... charge! "
Vulture shouted and rushed to the gate of the manor with his men. However, before they reached the gate, a guard spotted them and shouted, "Who are you? No! Enemy attack... enemy attack!"
Vulture was also used to robbing people. He shouted, "If you know what's good for you, hand over some money. Otherwise, tonight... I will rush into Jubao Garden... Oh my! What's going on... Oh my God... This is bad..."
Suddenly he heard an angry shout: "What are you waiting for? Didn't you hear that these people are criminals? Kill... kill... kill them all and throw them into the mountains to feed the wolves!"
I saw a man falling from the sky outside the gate, swinging a large, shining machete. As the gate opened, a group of people swinging machetes rushed out, looking like they were ready to kill!
Vulture and his minions were frightened when they saw this scene, and they quickly turned around and wanted to run away, but only Vulture and Sanmaozi had horses, and the rest of the people had no horses!
The seven or eight men had cramps in their calves and were caught up by Zhaocai and his men after just a few steps. Everyone worked together and hacked the eight bandits to death with their swords!
Zhaocai and Jinbao are both good at martial arts. They were personally selected and trained by Duke Wei Zhendong to be bodyguards specifically to protect Shen Ruyi.
Shen Ruyi asked them to be ruthless and merciless in their dealings with the bandits.
After hacking eight people to death, Zhaocai instructed his guards not to tell anyone about the incident. He also asked them to go home and bring pickaxes, then drag the eight corpses to the mountain behind, burn them directly, and then bury them in a pit.
Vulture and Sanmaozi were so frightened by the ferocious Jubaoyuan that their horses' legs were shaking as they ran all the way back to their destination in Xiaoxishan.
Vulture felt that with this level of defense, the other party was likely to be of great importance, and they might have a huge amount of wealth!
Sanmaozi suggested that they take a few of their men and run directly to Gongjiling overnight.
