Chapter 348: Chapter 344: Surprise _1
“The honey locust tree makes a good tree wall, but it can only block petty thieves. A real enemy could have a hundred ways to get around this obstacle. Therefore, either build a wall around the village or build a few towers at the corners of the village to keep an eye on the outside.”

Zhou Wuchang said, “However, the number of men in your village is not enough to resist an enemy that exceeds five hundred people. If you want to win, you have to set up a good strategy and regularly train the men to repel enemies.”

Yingbao felt defeated.

She thought that her master would have a good plan, but this was all he suggested.

Training the villagers was possible, after all, they had already experienced a bandit attack once, but how to arrange it exactly?

No matter how they arrange it, it seems that spending money would be inevitable.

Yingbao planted a few dozen kudzu vines and sprinkled a lot of medicinal herbs and wild vegetable seeds around.

She scattered a variety of seeds like astragalus, capillary wormwood, cnidium, knotweed, mugwort, plantain, etc., as well as some fern seeds in the wild.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Zhou Wuchang and her eldest brother, she took out a small gourd to water the newly planted kudzu vines and various medicinal herbs seeds.

Zhou Wuchang curiously asked, “Yingbao, since you can take things in and out, can you go in?”

Yingbao blinked her eyes.

She had never tried before if she could go in, but she had put chickens and hedgehogs from home in there before, perhaps she could go in too, otherwise how could she eat in the cave dwelling?

Yingbao glanced at her master and shook her head, “No, I can only store things in it, no living people can go in.”

Zhou Wuchang was a little disappointed.

But his luck in stumbling upon this gem is definitely a win.

Perhaps this child is the key to his success.

In the evening, Yingbao returned home with her master and senior brother, Chunniang and few others had already prepared pork and chive dumplings, ready to boil them.

Seeing the return of Master Zhou and his disciples, they invited them to sit down.

Yingbao didn’t see her younger brothers, so she turned back to the school to call them.

Now Li Xu had gone to take the examination, and with no one teaching in the advanced class, the twenty students primarily self-study, or practice the Royal Archery Technique with Zhang Meng.

Those who do not like martial arts practice chess or play musical instruments according to the chessboard and music score, practicing their chess skills and rhythm, etc.

Jiang Jie and Jiang Wu are still at the training ground, practicing with Wei Zhan, Huzi, Yuan Bao, Zhang Min, and others.

Village children were also there, including Little Demon.

“Come home to eat dumplings!” Yingbao shouted a few times, then went to find her father and Teacher Wu.

As soon as the children heard about the dumplings, their spirits were lifted.

Zhang Min took everyone to wash their hands and faces at the pond, and then a group of people returned home.

Chunniang and the others had made a lot of dumplings, which filled up several dishes.

They used two large pots to boil the dumplings, and it wasn’t long before they were ready.

Jiang Sanlang and Teacher Wu also hurried back, and everyone sat at two big tables to eat dumplings.

Seeing that the dumplings were running out, Yingbao brought out several jars of fruit juice and wine from the house.

Teacher Wu loved the wine the most, happily drinking with Zhou Wuchang.

After dinner, Yingbao called her parents into her room and said, “Dad, Mom, don’t blink, see if I’m in the room or not.”

With that, she immediately disappeared into her cave dwelling.

She spent a while inside planting more seeds in the soil.

When she reappeared, her parents looked shocked.

“Baobao, you…you vanished just now.” Chunniang tugged at her daughter nervously, “Did you learn the invisibility technique from Master Zhou?”

There are rumors among common folk that Taoists can use Immortal Law, and by placing a leaf over their eyes can make themselves invisible, it seems to be true.

Yingbao asked, “How long was I gone?”

Jiang Sanlang: “The time of one incense stick.”

Yingbao nods.

It’s about the same as the time she had estimated.

She grabbed her mother and said, “Mother, I’ll try to see if I can make you invisible with me.”

Chunniang didn’t know what to say, so she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Yingbao, holding Chunniang, concentrated and muttered something under her breath, and soon they reappeared in the cave house.

Looking at her mother who came in with her, Yingbao felt a little excited.

She could really bring people in! That was great!

Moreover, she was able to fully enter the cave house herself, so she wouldn’t have to worry about encountering bad people in the future.

Chunniang was stunned by the sight before her eyes.

She trembled as she pointed around and asked, “Baobao, where is this? Are you, are you really a Fairy Child?”

Yingbao grinned: “I’m not a Fairy Child, but I do have a magical cave house.”

The sudden appearance of this cave house was strange, and she didn’t know why. Anyway, it was there in her previous life, and it was still with her in this life, so presumably, the cave house was her exclusive place.

Chunniang looked at the rows of jars containing mushrooms, glanced at the pond not far away, rubbed her eyes, scooped up some water from the pond, and splashed it on her face.

The water was cool and refreshing.

“Baobao, so this is where the golden mushrooms come from?” Chunniang looked at the glowing orb in the pool again and asked, “Is that the sun?”

Yingbao shook her head: “It’s not the sun, but it emits light.”

Chunniang gradually recovered from her shock, walked to the edge of the pond, touched the large Gourd Boats floating on the water, and exclaimed, “So Baobao has had divine objects since she was a child. These large gourds were planted by Baobao herself, not given by the Heavenly God.”

“Yes.” Yingbao didn’t deny it, saying: “I originally wanted to plant more crops, but I can’t handle it all by myself.”

Chunniang’s eyes widened: “From now on, you bring your father and me in, and we’ll help you plant.”

The girl’s place was extraordinary at first glance, and it would be a waste not to plant anything.

No wonder their fruits were always better than others. They had a pond of good water. Other people’s fruit trees needed three or four years to bear fruit, while theirs flowered in the second year and were laden with fruit in the third year.

Yingbao also had this intention.

She didn’t know how to manage farmland, and what to plant or not wasn’t carefully planned. She just planted whatever tasted good.

However, after the fruit trees she planted flowered and bore fruit, a lot of fruits were wasted.

Making wine was too complicated, making fruit juice was also tiring, and she had to make medicine pills. She had too many things to keep busy and could not take care of everything.

Chunniang wanted to start working right away because she saw that the golden and snow mushrooms were mature and would wilt and dry up if not picked.

But her husband was still waiting outside, and she was afraid he would make a fuss if he got anxious. “Baobao, let’s go out for now and see if you can bring your father in.”

“Okay.” Yingbao nodded, took her mother’s arm, muttered something under her breath, and soon they appeared in front of Jiang Sanlang.

Jiang Sanlang was indeed anxious, but he dared not leave at all, so he stood stiffly on the spot for a quarter of an hour.

Seeing his wife and daughter come out, he couldn’t help asking, “Where have you been?”

Chunniang smiled and said, “You’ll know in a moment.”

Having said that, she signaled her daughter to do it.

Yingbao wanted to see if she could bring two people in, so she grabbed the arms of her parents and flashed into the cave house.

It turned out that she could.

She was overjoyed.

In this way, she wouldn’t have to fear the main characters anymore.

If there was chaos and war, she could just bring her family into the cave house and stay there for half a month before going out.
