Parents are busy farming

Lao Li, Ye Zifen, and Zhang Gaoyi cleaned up in Zhuangzi.

Dinner was prepared by Ye Zifen.

While eating, Lao Li suddenly said: "There should be a heavy rain tonight."

Ye Zifen frowned upon hearing this.

The wheat is about to mature now. Raining at this time is not a good thing, but the impact does not seem to be very big.

Heavy rain and strong winds can cause wheat to fall, making harvesting more difficult.

However, the wheat has been filled, so it should not affect the yield. As long as it is not a continuous rainy day, it will be fine.

Just after Xu Shi, there was a knock on Zhuangzi's door.

Zhang Gaoyi saw Zhang Huaiyu leading a group of people through the crack in the door and quickly opened the door.

Ye Zifen came out and said, "Why are there so many people here?"

Zhang Huaiyu said: "When everyone heard that someone was causing trouble for you, they all wanted to follow you. I couldn't help but come out with them."

Ye Zifen quickly saluted everyone, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to make something for everyone to eat. I don't know how long it will take!"

The bastard has a high chance of taking the bait, but there's no telling when or how they will do it.

"Okay, then we're in for a treat!" said a government official.

Ye Zifen said to Zhang Gaoyi: "Tell everyone about the traps we made, see if there are any shortcomings, and make rectifications quickly."

Zhang Gaoyi nodded.

Zi Zifen went to the kitchen to work. Fortunately, Zhang Gaoyi got two rabbits, otherwise this dish would just be a 'dish'

Make a spicy rabbit meat and two green vegetables, which is pretty good.

Seeing peanuts in the kitchen, I decided to have some boiled peanuts as a snack.

Ye Zifen, who was busy in the kitchen, did not see the look of the government officials after they saw the trap set by Zhang Gaoyi.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and one of the government officials raised his thumb and asked, "Where did you learn how to make traps? If someone who is short-sighted falls into it, half his life will probably be lost."

Zhang Gaoyi casually made up: "I often go up the mountain to hunt rabbits. I think people are bigger than rabbits, so the traps are bigger."

In fact, Zhang Gaoyi learned it from those military books. Of course, he would also test the effect when making traps to catch rabbits.

I just didn't expect it would be useful one day.

The officials nodded in surprise.

Zhang Huaiyu looked at Zhang Gaoyi with a strange look. Based on his relationship with Xiao Wu, if nothing unexpected happened, he would be his brother-in-law in the future.

I sighed in my heart: 'These traps look like things only those who go to war understand. This boy is not simple! ’

Two of the yamen servants had returned from the battlefield, and they also saw the secret. They looked at each other and then at Zhang Dianshi, and they started to think twice.

They talked to Zhang Gaoyi about their opinions: "This wall is not high. Think about how to prevent them from climbing on the wall. Your traps are all designed for them to come in. Why not keep the enemy out and not let them in?" The most important thing is to dive into danger yourself!”

Zhang Gaoyi was enlightened at this moment.

He quickly ran to the warehouse and took out the soybean oil, and he and Lao Li took the ladder and poured it down on the wall.

Lao Li fell down and felt distressed at the same time.

The government officials also followed and buried a tree stick as thick as an arm more than one meter outside the wall, with the top sharpened to ensure that the person would be hurt again if he fell from the wall.

Everyone was busy outside. It took Zizifen an hour to finally prepare the meal. The aroma was fragrant and the strong spicy taste could be heard.

"Can everyone take a break?" Ye Zifen asked aloud.

When everyone saw that the trap was almost ready, they stopped and entered Zhuangzi with Ye Zifen. Fortunately, there were many people here today, otherwise they would not have been able to finish it so quickly.

Everyone entered the main gate of Zhuangzi and placed their tools on both sides of the gate.

Zi Zifen had already filled the kettle with water for washing hands. Zhang Gaoyi took it and poured water for everyone to wash their hands.

There are two large tables in the dining room of the main room. There are not many dishes on the table, but the portions are sufficient, and they are all served in basins.

Spicy rabbit pancakes, spicy and sour potato shreds, cold wild vegetables, and a boiled peanut.

Everyone sat down and started eating.

Ye Zifen asked Zhang Huaiyu: "Why did you come with me? Can my sister and the others be at home?"

Zhang Huaiyu threw a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth and said, "Your sister was worried and asked me to come over and have a look. But I am really worried, so I'd better keep a close eye on it!"

Ye Zifen nodded and asked sheepishly: "Is the trap we prepared a little big?"

Everyone looked at each other, if a few gangsters come, then...

I was so happy with the instructions just now that I forgot about this.

Zhang Gaoyi also looked ashamed.

Ye Zifen quickly said: "Just in case, don't make sure something goes wrong then, it will be bad if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry!"

A yamen servant quickly answered: "Yes, yes, be prepared and be prepared! Hehe!"

Ye Zifen was also embarrassed and went out to prepare tea.

Everyone was talking while eating. Zhang Gaoyi climbed up to the roof after eating. They didn't know when those people would come, so they felt more at ease just keeping an eye on them.

Ye Zifen also climbed onto the roof.

Zhang Gaoyi held a dagger in his hand, whittling bamboo pieces into arrow shapes. Seeing the bent bow next to him, Ye Zifen understood.

The two of them didn't speak, just sat quietly.

The clouds are gathering in the sky, and it seems that the heavy rain tonight will not fail.

It was pitch dark all around and the temperature was dropping.

Ye Zifen went down and got two thick clothes, handed one to Zhang Gaoyi, and put on one herself.

After midnight, the sky was covered with dark clouds and a strong wind came at any time.

"Go down! It's probably going to rain!" Ye Zifen said.

Zhang Gaoyi looked into the distance and said, "Go down and remind everyone! Those people are coming!"

Ye Zifen followed his line of sight and looked into the distance. There were indeed many torches coming from a distance, but the speed seemed a bit fast!

"Something's wrong!" Ye Zifen said with a frown.

Zhang Gaoyi's expression also became serious, because he could see that there were many people coming this time, and it seemed that there was going to be a tough battle.

The body began to become excited, and the eyes became fiery and determined.

Zi Zifen didn't look at him. After getting down, she hurried into the house and loudly said to the government officials: "Something's wrong. There are a lot of people coming, and they seem to be riding horses!"

When the government officials heard this, they lost their composure. They all took out the knives from their waists and walked out.

Two men who had been in battle climbed onto the roof.

At this time, you can vaguely see a group of people coming here.

The three people came down from the roof with solemn expressions: "They are probably bandits, and they are experienced ones! The goal is very clear, they are rushing here!"

Everyone's expressions changed upon hearing this, and Ye Zifen became even more anxious.

He secretly cursed: ‘His uncle! After this time, my aunt will completely destroy the Fu family! ’

When she went out with her aunt, she encountered a bandit on the waterway.

At that time, I was young and was hidden in the firewood pile. My aunt put all the money she had on her, and they lost very little that time.

The purpose of the water bandits was to rob money, so there were no casualties.

It's just that this time they don't know where the bandits are, but now they have no time to hesitate, a battle is inevitable.

She said to Lao Li: "Go and hide in the cowshed, and don't come out until it's safe."

There are cows in the cowshed, and it's dark again. No one should be able to find someone hiding there.

They all have some skills, but Lao Li is an honest farmer, so he must be arranged well.

Lao Li nodded.

The most important thing for a person is self-knowledge. At this time, his presence here can only be a burden.

After Lao Li left, Ye Zifen picked up a doorpost and bumped it in his hand. Feeling that the weight was quite comfortable, she stood at the door of the main house.

Zhang Gaoyi climbed up to the roof again and took out his bow. There were many arrows in the quiver, which were real arrows.

It seems that he cut the bamboo pieces just in case.

Others rushed to various places in Zhuangzi with swords in hand, ready to stand ready.

Two men who had been on the battlefield guarded the gates and fixed two large pillars on the two gates.

He also placed those farm tools at the door, so that if someone came in, they could hit them if they stepped on them.

Zhang Huaiyu drew out his knife and stood next to Ye Zifen. He needed to protect this little girl.
