Chapter 59

After arranging things in the warehouse, Ji Jiu had nothing else to use the father and son. She and her four brothers went back to making carts. With Kang Jie and Kang Jin coming to see how to do it as well. The four of them spent time until dinner time. All the ingredients were ready. Ji Jiu let them rest and eat first and then assemble them tomorrow morning.

 Everyone dispersed and went to eat at the house. Ji Jiu then went into the house to eat with Aunt Qiao and Uncle Yu. Today, they were afraid that Ji Jiu would be lonely so they came to sit with her. Ji Jiu also told Aunt Qiao her plans for the coming winter. this She wanted to grow vegetables in the greenhouse she had already made. She was just waiting for the villagers to finish renovating the entire house before she could help do it all at once. As for who will be responsible for taking care of the greenhouse, it will be divided among them. She wouldn't be busy. She thought that this winter's planting would probably produce quite a good harvest. Aunt Qiao listened and nodded in agreement. What would the mothers and daughters have to do besides sew handkerchiefs in their free time with Li Hui and Gui Hua?

 After meals Ji Jiu goes to take a shower and prepares to rest. But instead, he heard a loud noise like someone calling at the main front door of the house. Ji Jiu hurriedly put on his outerwear and opened the door. She saw Aunt Qiao telling Uncle Yu to wait in the room first. Ah Yu didn't dare to disobey her mother, so she just turned her head and waited in the room.

 Ji Jiu and Aunt Qiao went out and found Uncle Kang and all the men in the house in front of the main house's door. They were talking with the village headman, behind which stood a dozen strangers. Ji Jiu immediately went to greet Elder Uncle.

"What's the matter, old man?"

"There are soldiers coming to search for prisoners who have escaped from the border, Ji Jiu. Uncle doesn't know what to do either. Uncle had taken them and searched every house in the village. Now there is only one home owner left."

"Oh, then please come in first. But I warn you that you can search, but you must not destroy anything in my house. My price isn't that much." Ji Jiu looked at the soldier following behind Elder Uncle without avoiding his eyes. She had never been afraid of anyone in her previous life. Just a soldier at the end of the line Don't you dare mess with her.

"You don't have to worry about Ji Jiu. Uncle will walk around and look at them as well. He will definitely not allow them to search separately and cause damage to the things in your new home. If they dare to do it The uncle will go into the district and notify the district chief himself because they came without officials from the district. It is considered to be going against the law that the sheriff had told the uncle about." The elder uncle promised to tickle Jiu and threaten these soldiers as well. He didn't like it from the beginning and suddenly came to search people's houses without a search warrant from the sheriff.

"Okay, Uncle Elder. I will follow along too. If anything is damaged or scratched. I will adjust the price of my items by another 100. Immediately, I hope you all have more than 1000. It's just a gourd, huh." Ji Jiu threatened the soldiers with more force.

 The elder uncle only secretly smiled at Ji Jiu, the two of them. Ji Jiu ordered the four brothers to be her eyes and ears as well. They immediately nodded their approval as well. The poor soldiers looked at each other helplessly. They searched the house before and threw out quite a few damaged items to relieve their feelings. It was because their master would punish them if they couldn't find them. Even though they followed not too far apart But they got lost in the mountains until they were delayed. In addition, the corpses of nearly twenty of their people were also found. How can we not let them vent their anger on these villagers?

 " But from the looks of it, the village headman and the girl were not ordinary people. Moreover, each of the people in her house seemed more knowledgeable than them. So they could only follow the village headman who led them to search every room in the house. Including opening the cabinet doors, the village head opened them gently for every cabinet. Until we reached the warehouse. When we opened it, there were only supplies and firewood piled up, almost filling the warehouse. So what else do they have to search for?

"Do you want to search anywhere else? If you want to go to the stables and barns, I'll take you there. But let me warn you first that if my horse is frightened, something will happen. You must pay a hundredfold as well. Each horse is 75 taels. I hope you all have 15,000. It's a gourd," Ji Jiu hurriedly warned them. Her horses that Uncle Kang and his brother had helped choose were indeed good for their price. She didn't want them to be alarmed by strangers.

"No need, just go to the greenhouse." The soldier who seemed to be the leader of the group didn't want to cause trouble for himself. Does he or will he have that much money? Also, good horses usually don't like strangers. If they opened the door, it would be a real panic. Won't they seek death?

 An old man held a lantern and led everyone to Ji Jiu's house. He and she walked and talked as if no one was following them. Ji Jiu tells the elder uncle about his plans for planting winter vegetables. Until the elder uncle wanted to try it. So she suggested building a greenhouse like hers. The villagers would take turns helping make each house. One greenhouse should be enough for everyone to eat. The elder uncle nodded in agreement and made an appointment for Ji Jiu to come look at the building tomorrow. Just in time, they walked to the front. Kang Jie helped open the door for the soldiers to enter. But when I opened the door They could see that there was nothing in the building at all. The soldiers followed them to the other two buildings as well.

 The village headman also asked if they would also take a look inside the remaining twenty or so vacant lots. He will take you on walks to exercise. The military leader only lost his face. He hurriedly said that he was no longer searching and excused himself from the Jijiu and left the house with the elder uncle.

 After the chaos is over. Everyone went to send Ji Jiu and Aunt Qiao back to rest and then separated into the house. Ji Wenting reminded the brothers to take turns guarding the house starting tonight. He will watch first for an hour and a half and then will follow the second brother to continue watching. As for the third and fourth brothers, they are to rest and wait for the next shift until morning. Everyone nodded vigorously to the order. Young Mistress had been good to them, how could she not let them devote all their energy to protecting her home?

 The next morning Ji Zhao Gu, who was last in the shift, ate breakfast before everyone else and hurriedly went to bed to rest. His elder siblings stayed behind.

After eating, I prepared the contents of the cart that I had promised and carried it to the front of the house to wait for her.

 Ji Jiu also woke up very early today. She came out not long after they arrived. They put together the wooden planks as Ji Jiu had said, one section at a time. Then, the fastening bolt was hammered in until it was tight. The pre-drilled hole was then hammered into the axle shaft and the wheel axle was inserted until finished. By making the wheels on both sides in front be rotating wheels. The two rear wheels are fixed wheels for easy maneuverability. After checking that every part was assembled well, older brother Ji Wenting was the first to test the cart. He found that it actually worked as you said. Ah, this was the first time that the Secret Guards had invented something. It's truly exhilarating.

 Ji Jiu looked at the smile that filled Brother Ji Wenting's face and expected that the design she had written would work. The others hurriedly took turns taking turns trying out their new carts. When he saw that it was easier than before, he forgot to shout out with happiness. Until Ji Jiu was startled. They could only apologize and ask for forgiveness from the young mistress. Ji Jiu forgave them without thinking. She understood, and the people were happy.
