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

He then let out a helpless sigh.

Even if he caught the one-eyed man, he would only dare to deal with him privately and wouldn't dare to send him in.

Even the one-eyed dragon has his weaknesses.

If the one-eyed dragon is sent in, he'll definitely bite him out, and then the two of them will go to jail together. He doesn't want to go to jail!

"Oh no, will the one-eyed man report me?"

"Report me, and you might get leniency."

"No, he won't report me. He's committed too many serious crimes. Even if he reports me and gets lenient treatment, he'll still end up in jail."

Fan Jinyou breathed a sigh of relief.

"Will he go to see Wan Ping'an?"

"If Wan Ping'an finds out what's wrong with me, I'll be even less able to fight him in the future."

I just breathed a sigh of relief.

Fan Jinyou frowned again, his brow furrowing into a knot.

"As the old saying goes, 'Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?' With me here, why is there still Wan Ping'an?"

"He's my nemesis!"

Fan Jinyou sighed with emotion.

From the moment he met Wan Ping'an, he targeted Wan Ping'an multiple times, but he never succeeded and each time he suffered heavy losses.

Siheyuan.

Jia Zhangshi went to find Yan Fugui, but he wasn't home; he had gone to work. Only the Third Aunt was there to guard the only entrance and exit of the four-person courtyard.

"Your man said that an owl appeared last night. Where is your owl?"

Jia Zhangshi was not polite at all.

When others see Yan Fugui's wife, they all call her "Third Aunt," even those from Yizhonghai, as a sign of respect.

Jia Zhangshi refused to call out.

"do not know!"

The third aunt didn't intend to pay any attention to Jia Zhangshi.

Would it kill you to call out "Third Mother" once?

Will a piece of meat be missing?

"How could you not know?"

"He clearly knows owls very well; he must know where owls live."

Jia Zhangshi did not believe it.

"I remember now, the boss really did say that owls like to plant tree holes, those tall and big trees. Go and look for them!"

The three women's eyes lit up, and they came up with a good idea.

They sent Jia Zhangshi away.

Tall, large trees are rare in the city, but there are quite a few in the woods in the suburbs.

Let Jia Zhangshi go find it!

Jia Zhangshi will be exhausted!

"really?"

Jia Zhangshi believed it to be true.

"Of course it's true, but don't even think about it. Owls live in tall, big trees. Even if you could find one, there's no way to get it."

The third aunt deliberately provoked Jia Zhangshi.

She didn't know if owls lived in trees, but she spoke as if it were the truth.

"Who said there's no way?"

"Once I find them, I'll catch them all, roast them, and eat them!"

Jia Zhangshi went out to find an owl.

The three women laughed and tricked Jia Zhangshi into leaving.

in the afternoon.

Before everyone else had left work, Jia Zhangshi returned, walking with a limp.

"Have you found the owl?"

"I advise you not to look anymore. There are so many trees outside the city. You don't know which tree the owl lives in. There's no way you'll find it."

The three women made sarcastic remarks.

"You wait, I'm sure I'll find it."

Madam Jia was furious.

She looked for owls but didn't find any; instead, she found quite a few other birds' nests.

She wanted to climb up and collect the bird eggs, but unfortunately, she didn't have the skills to climb trees, and being rather chubby, she fell down after climbing just over a meter high, twisting her ankle.

She's made up her mind; she's going to take on the owl!

Let's catch the owl and see how the old lady can laugh at her then.

Yan Jiecheng came home from school.

The three aunts treated it as a joke and told Wan Ping'an about Jia Zhang's owl.

"Let her look!"

"Keep an eye on Jia Zhangshi. If she finds the owl, come and tell me."

Wan Ping'an wants an owl.

Owls are nocturnal creatures, and coincidentally, there was also a group of nocturnal field mice in the six-acre area, so there wasn't a good way to deal with them.

If we could raise a flock of owls, that would definitely solve the problem.

The next morning.

Jia Zhangshi went out to look for owls again.

in the afternoon.

She came to a small grove of trees in the western suburbs.

I saw a tree hole about seven or eight meters above the ground, and next to the hole was a branch with a strange bird perched on it.

It has a cat-like face.

Jia Zhangshi recalled the descriptions people in the courtyard had given of owls, and this was exactly what they looked like.

"Haha, finally found it."

"Such a big owl, it must have more meat than a chicken. Let's go back and eat it."

"It scared me so much I peed my pants twice, so I ate its flesh."

Jia Zhangshi's biggest motivation for looking for the owl wasn't the sarcastic remarks from the third aunt, but the fact that the owl had scared her so badly she wet herself twice—it was too embarrassing.

She hates owls!

Jia Zhangshi was preparing to catch an owl, but she was troubled.

How to catch it?

The tree was so thick that even with her arms outstretched, she couldn't wrap her arms around it.

The lower half of the tree trunk was bare, without any branches or twigs, so she couldn't climb it.

"Damn owl, get down here!"

Jia Zhangshi tried several methods but couldn't climb up. Frustrated, she pointed at the owl and cursed, but the owl couldn't understand her curses.

"Get down here!"

Enraged, Jia Zhangshi picked up a stone and threw it at the owl!

The owl wasn't hit, but it was enraged. It believed that Jia Zhangshi had trespassed into its territory and attacked it.

The owl swooped down on Jia Zhangshi.

Owls are adept at nocturnal activity, but that doesn't mean they don't move during the day; it just means they are more skilled at being active at night.

Ah!

Jia Zhangshi was in a very sorry state.

Turn around and run.

The owl she attacked had wingspans of over a meter.

She made a significant discovery: when owls fly, they are indeed completely silent, and their colors tend to be dark gray, making them very difficult to see at night.
