Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

Wan Ping'an took out his bow and arrows.

Move the table.

Fix the bow on the table, draw the bowstring, nock the arrow, and aim it at the doorway—this is the simplest killing mechanism.

Connect the door and the bow with a rope.

If someone opens the door and pulls the rope, it will trigger the bow and arrow.

The arrow will then be shot.

The rope was hung at the bottom corner of the door.

When he gets home, as long as he takes the rope off before opening the door, he won't trigger the mechanism.

The thief was unaware!

"Let's test the power of the mechanism."

Now that everything is set up safely, of course I have to give it a try.

Try the sensitivity settings.

Let's test its destructive power.

He took a brick and used it to push the door open, then hid to the side to avoid being shot by arrows.

The door opened.

Whoosh!

The pre-set mechanism was activated, and an arrow hit the target.

They were all shot in half on the spot.

The arrow continued forward, hitting the opposite wall and leaving a shallow dent in the brickwork.

"This power is sufficient!"

"Whether it's Jia Dongxu's slender frame or Jia Zhangshi's thick body, I guarantee I can pierce them with one arrow."

"Even if it doesn't hit a vital spot, it will definitely give them nightmares for the rest of their lives."

Wan Ping'an was very satisfied.

The traps he set up were specifically aimed at the Jia family.

No one else in the courtyard had the habit of stealing. Even the hypocrite Yi Zhonghai didn't have the problem of stealing. Only the Jia family did!

Before leaving.

He bolted the window shut from the inside.

Make it so that thieves can only leave through the door, unless the window is broken.

As he passed by the Jia family's gate, he spotted Jia Zhangshi again, still behind the window, staring at him menacingly.

“Jia Zhangshi, Jia Dongxu, I have prepared a ‘surprise’ for you.”

"If you go and steal from my house, you'll definitely find a lot."

Wan Ping'an sneered.

"Ping An, are you going out?"

When Wan Ping'an arrived at the Intermediate People's Court, he encountered He Daqing and his family of three, who were just leaving the court.

"Yes, you're going to work?"

Wan Ping'an responded with a smile.

Don’t reach out to hit the smiling person.

When he was talking to He Daqing, he noticed that Sha Zhu was staring at him resentfully.

After saying hello, He Daqing took Sha Zhu and He Yushui out.

All three of them walked over.

Sha Zhu suddenly turned around, glared fiercely at Wan Ping'an, and even waved his fist at him.

He didn't expect that He Daqing would turn around at that exact moment.

Snapped!

He Daqing slapped Sha Zhu on the head.

"Silly Zhu, are you trying to turn one hour of wok-flipping practice into two hours?"

He Daqing asked coldly.

Sha Zhu chickened out right then and there.

They obediently followed.

When Wan Ping'an went out, he ran into Yan Fugui again.

"Ping An, congratulations! You've learned to hunt. You'll never lack meat again."

Yan Fugui looked on with envy.

"Thank you, Uncle Three."

Wan Ping'an responded with a smile.

After Wan Ping'an left, the Third Aunt walked to the door, ready to switch shifts with Yan Fugui. When Yan Fugui was on duty, the Third Aunt was responsible for guarding the door.

"Honey, tell me, is it possible to let Jie Cheng and Wan Ping'an learn hunting?"

"It would be fine if I could catch one rabbit or one pheasant a day."

Yan Fugui began to scheme.

If we could catch one a day, we could solve our meat problem at home.

If you can catch two a day, you can sell one and significantly improve your life.

If I could have three a day, that would be heaven!

"Don't even think about having good ideas!"

"Hunting is Wan Ping'an's bread and butter; how could he possibly teach it to others so easily?"

"Unless you formally become an apprentice, are you willing to let Jiecheng become an apprentice?"

The three women shook their heads.

"Let me think about it!"

Yan Fugui was a little conflicted.

Jia family.

"Dongxu, what are you standing there for?"

"Wan Ping'an has gone out, why don't you hurry up and 'bring' all the cured meat back?"

Jia Zhangshi urged them on.

"Mom, you still want me to steal Wan Ping'an?"

Jia Dongxu was conflicted.

Snapped!

Jia Zhangshi slapped his door.

"Steal what?"

What did I tell you?

"Take it, take it, take it, remember?"

Jia Zhangshi was furious.

"Steal" sounds too harsh; she just said "take."

"Yes, yes, take it."

"Can we pick it up at another place?"

"He Daqing's family, Yi Zhonghai's family, Liu Haizhong's family, Xu Damao's family, any family is fine, I just don't want to go to Wan Ping'an's family."

Jia Dongxu was truly terrified.

The first time I tried to steal Wan Ping'an's persimmons, I was knocked unconscious and asked for eighty yuan in compensation.

The second time he went to cause trouble, he was chased by a big black dog. He lost his shoes and his clothes were torn to shreds. He was almost arrested for indecent assault.

"Coward, how could I have given birth to such a weak son?"

"Get up and get out of here to Wan Ping'an's house."

"Let me tell you, no one else will do, you can only go to Wan Ping'an's house, so hurry up and go."

"Are you waiting for me to beat you up?"

Jia Zhangshi grabbed a feather duster and smacked Jia Dongxu's nose twice, slapping the table next to him, making Jia Dongxu shiver.
