every household's rooftops were filled with wisps of smoke. The stove fires in kitchens burned continuously throughout the day.Steamed red date buns, frozen dumplings, glutinous rice cakes, fried sesa..."Sister, this crossbow is too powerful! It shot right through the door!" Ji'an excitedly brandished his feathered arrow.
Jia Yi grabbed it back and wanted to try three shots in a row, but Jia Ren stopped him. "Don't try anymore, be careful you shoot the sister's door into a sieve! Left and right, the sister gave us both sides, tomorrow we find a place to slowly ponder is not too late."
Jiayi scratched his head and quickly said, "Oh, I was too excited and forgot that I was at my sister's place. I'll find someone to fix the door tomorrow!"
Jia Yin saw Cat Brother eagerly trying the crossbow, afraid he might mishandle it and hurt someone again. She quickly pushed all the arrows to Big Brother and instructed him: "Big Brother, please take these first. Wait until Third Brother understands how to use them properly, then you two can practice together."
"Remember to wear this on your arm whenever you leave the house, don't take it off even when you eat or sleep!"
Jiarren nodded and carefully put the crossbow arrows beside him. Jia'an, Jiaxi, and Maoge'er all watched with eager anticipation, their bottoms bouncing like pins on a cushion.
Jiayin quickly took out a pile of wide belts, made of cowhide and dark brown in color. They looked ordinary at first glance, but the inside was carefully crafted.
Jia Yin took one and indicated to Jia Yi that he should wear it around his waist, then she carefully explained to her brothers.
This belt concealed five hidden pockets. Counting from the left, I put ten taels of gold coins in the first pocket.
The second compartment held a flat medicine bottle filled with specialized healing ointment. This was my own modification based on my master’s formulas, effective for any wound that bled. Simply apply it directly to the injury.
The third grid, which is also the middle one, contains an antidote pill. It can counteract common poisons found in the Jianghu, such as Meng H Powder, Soft Tendon散, and even snake venom. If taken promptly, it can at least neutralize half of the poison's effects.
The fourth compartment holds poison, the kind that killed those bandits when we went through the mountain pass. If you encounter a strong enemy, don't be reckless. Put this pill in their tea or food. A single pill can kill dozens of people!
"The fifth grid held silver beans, also weighing ten ounces. There was also a scabbard near the lower back, where a dagger would be placed."
After introducing each item individually, Jia Yin distributed the belts to her brothers according to the numbers marked on the card. She instructed them to tie them around their waists.
She reiterated, "Remember, the placement of things in the several secret compartments must never be changed. If you happen to borrow from each other occasionally and mix them up, you'll end up harming yourselves!"
Jia Ren's several Zheng key points on the head, circled his waist with a belt, buckled it well, and even felt relaxed when he moved his body, even more comfortable than an ordinary fabric belt.
Evidently, the younger sister remembered all their waist sizes clearly, which is why they fit so perfectly.
Soon, the dagger was also sent out, and the brothers gradually became familiar with each other, all feeling novel and heartwarming.
Jiahuan thought for a moment, then said to her sister, "Sister, I don't need these things at the tavern. Liu Yang is going south with us, so why not give him my set"
“No, second brother, this set is for you.” Jia Yin pointed to the cabinet. “I’ve prepared Liu Yang gege's portion already. This crossbow and dagger are not easy to make, there are only eight sets. But the belts are easy to make, and everyone in the family will have one later.”
Then Jiahuan laughed, rubbing his younger sister's hair and feeling even happier.
The younger sister did not ostracize her brother just because he was useless!
After fiddling with their belts for a while, the brothers had basically mastered them.
I have to say, the belt design is quite ingenious.
The compartment for gold and silver beans has a slot, pulling it once will drop out one bean, the other three medicine bottles can also be disassembled, convenient to use.
Especially Jia An and Jia Xi, they took out all the gold beans, pretending to be generous, scattering them with their hands, laughing boisterously.
Jia Yin rolled her eyes, pulled out a small booklet, and coughed twice. Seeing her brother looking over, she continued, "To avoid you guys wandering the rivers and lakes, falling victim to schemes, being sold out and still helping count the money, Jia Yin's Small Class is now open!"
"Today's topic is the Handbook for Safety on the Road! There are many paths in life, but safety comes first!"
Seeing their little sister with a puffed-up face, trying hard to look serious, the brothers couldn't help but laugh.
They put down what they were holding, putting on serious faces, thinking of ways to please their little sister.
As a result, they listened for a while and became engrossed.
The hero saving the beauty is a trap!
Selling oneself to bury one's father, looking for a way out!
A series of unfortunate events, experiencing both financial loss and disaster!
Keep a low profile and don't flaunt your wealth!
Leave a line for others, and the rivers and lakes will be harmonious!
Drinking leads to trouble, drunkenness leads to death!
Jia Yin read through the instructions carefully and then explained in detail to her brothers what to do in each situation.
Over these past few days, she took the time to compile all the deceitful schemes, treacherous situations, and cunning tactics she had seen in movies, TV shows, and even martial arts novels from her past life into a small booklet.
The booklet contains a total of twenty stories.
Perhaps in the eyes of true martial arts practitioners, these little stories are naive.
But for these rookie brothers just starting out, it's the best warning.
Especially, the Li family was harmonious and united. There wasn't much scheming or plotting among them. The brothers were all kind and simple, subconsciously feeling that there were more good people in the world.
After going out, if you are not careful, it is easy to be cheated and hurt……
The Jia Ren brothers were all astonished, gasping in surprise. It was as if they had opened the door to a brand new world.
After being away for two years, Jia Yi had heard and seen a lot. Occasionally, he would hear something familiar and nod vigorously, saying loudly, "Sister is right!"
This inevitably leads to inquiries from Jia Xi and Jia An, who want to know more about it. They have no choice but to discuss it.
A total of twenty verses, Jia Yin finished speaking, it was already midnight.
But the Jia Ren brothers were all excited, their eyes shining brightly, with an air of lingering enjoyment.
Then, Jia Ren took the pamphlet and called his brothers to move their position back to the front yard to continue researching, so that his younger sister could go to sleep earlier.
Jia Yin's mouth was parched, her tongue felt thick and dry. She gulped down several glasses of water before falling asleep with her head on the table.
The next morning, Liu Yang came running, grinning, to ask for his share. Then he went off with Jia Ren and his brothers to the orchard.
Needless to say, the birds in the orchard were unlucky.
I originally wanted to find a few lost fruits to quench my thirst, but ended up losing my life!
Jia Yin slept soundly all night and didn't have to go to Zhang Shenyi's place today. The county princess's mansion also had her second uncle supervising the construction.
So she watched several craftsmen building a glass greenhouse in her backyard.
Several artisans were arranged by Zhou Da Ren, originally thinking it was a small job. Upon seeing such a large and transparent piece of glass, they were surprised and somewhat at a loss.
Words of comfort are all I can offer, even if they stumble and break things, I won't ask them to pay for the damage.
And this greenhouse, next year it will be moved to the county princess's mansion, so it can be simpler.
Only then did the craftsmen dare to begin work, but they were still very careful.
Jiayin could only ask the village head for help, and found several nimble villagers to help.
The greenhouse wasn't large, only about twenty square meters, similar in style to the flower house in Baihu Garden.
The back slope and the left and right mountain walls are built with blue bricks, and even the front half of the low wall is made of blue bricks, plastered with thick yellow mud for insulation.
Only the front and top part of the rising sun was framed with wood and inlaid with glass.
Don't underestimate this little place, in the winter, there are excuses and cover-ups for eating fresh vegetables and fruits at home! the maidservant, "Prepare water, I want to bathe.">Unfortunately, her daughter didn't listen at all. She got up and went into the bathroom, then closed the door.Soaking in the warm bath, with no one...
