However, considering that Wu Baixi is the county magistrate, it is not surprising that he can come up with these things. There is no official who is not corrupt, and there are no fish in clear water.

Xiuying frowned slightly, with a complicated expression: "Although this is normal, I always feel uneasy in my heart." She sighed softly.

She picked up a gold bar and examined it carefully in the sunlight. The gold bar shone brightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. "Is it really okay for me to keep such a valuable thing?"

After hesitating for a moment, he put the gold bars back into the box and put the second box into the space for storage.

Just treat these as reserve funds and don’t touch them if you can.

Xiuying said to herself, "If I encounter any emergency in the future, I can take it out and use it." Her eyes were firm, as if she had already made a plan.

Then Xiuying opened the third box, which contained a token and a letter.

Xiuying opened the envelope and saw Wu Baixi's beautiful handwriting, which roughly meant that if she encountered any problems while he was away, she could take this token to the county government office to find a man named Captain Zhang.

Xiuying held the token and thought to herself, "Wu Baixi is quite thoughtful." She put the token away carefully, but couldn't help wondering, "Why did the emperor suddenly summon Wu Baixi to Beijing? Is it because of the land cession in Qingshui County?" Xiuying shook her head and stopped thinking about it.

Xiuying put all the silver and banknotes into the space, leaving only a small amount of silver on her.

She patted herself, made sure everything was in place, and muttered to herself, "It's safer this way, so no one will worry about it."

Then he called Taohua and Shiliu in, bought a copy of "Yang Family Spearmanship" from the space and handed it to Shiliu.

Shi Liu took the book with a surprised look on her face: "Mother, what is this?"

Shi Liu looked at the four large characters, "Yang Family Spear Technique." This is the spear technique passed down from my mother's family!!!

Xiuying didn't explain too much. The story of the Yang Family Generals was a long one. She smiled and said, "Shiliu, take this spear technique book and study it carefully. It will help you protect yourself in the future."

Taohua came over curiously and asked, "Mother, why did you suddenly ask Shiliu to learn this?"

Xiuying said seriously, "The world is not peaceful nowadays, so it's always good to learn more skills."

Shi Liu nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, mother, I will study hard."

Then Xiuying bought a red tasseled spear from the space and handed it to Shiliu.

Shi Liu took the red tassel spear with both hands, his eyes full of excitement: "This spear looks really majestic!"

Xiuying patted Shiliu's shoulder and said, "Practice well, don't let this good gun go to waste."

Taohua looked at Shiliu with envy: "Shiliu, you have to work harder."

Shi Liu raised her head confidently: "I will practice diligently and live up to my mission!"

Xiuying sighed silently. Among her daughters, only Shiliu was suitable for martial arts. What would the other daughters do if they encountered rebel soldiers and refugees?

Taohua asked, "Can you give her some weapons that can repel enemies without much effort?"

Xiuying couldn't help laughing: "You are a thoughtful girl." She held her chin with her hand and thought for a moment: "Let me think about it..." Her eyes lit up: "I got it, I will get you an exquisite crossbow and some drugs, how about it?"

Taohua clapped her hands happily: "That's great, mother, you still love me."

In the era of cold weapons, bows and crossbows were enough, and they were also equipped with sleeping pills for double insurance.

Xiuying nodded: "Okay, then I'll prepare a crossbow and some sleeping pills for you." After a while, she took out a crossbow and sleeping pills from the space and handed them to Taohua.

Taohua took it excitedly: "Thank you, mother. With these, I can protect us too."

Xiuying smiled and said, "Don't be careless. You need to practice using it more often."

Not only did the two eldest daughters have to protect themselves, but the other daughters also had to learn to protect themselves. Xiuying bought two crossbows from the space and gave them to Taohua, so that the third and fourth daughters could also practice with crossbows.

Taohua took the crossbow and said, "Don't worry, mother. I'll go get Guihua and Lamei right away."

After a while, the third and fourth brothers came hurriedly

The third child, Guihua, looked at the crossbow curiously: "What kind of new thing is this?"

The fourth child, Lamei, was eager to try: "It looks amazing!"

Xiuying patiently explained to them how to use the crossbow: "You must study hard so that you can protect yourself in critical moments."

The third and fourth brothers nodded solemnly and began to learn from Xiuying.

There are also the fifth, sixth and seventh children. These children are too young to use crossbows, so Xiuying bought a few bottles of pepper spray and gave them to Shiliu. She told Shiliu how to use it and asked her to teach her younger sisters.

Shi Liu took the pepper spray and nodded seriously: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely teach them."

Shi Liu came to the little sisters and said, "Come, sisters, I will teach you how to use this to protect yourself."

Lao Wu blinked his eyes. "Second sister, can this thing really protect us? It's just a small bottle, how can it be so powerful?"

Shi Liu smiled and patted Lao Wu's head. "Of course you can, just do as your sister says. Otherwise, how about we catch a chicken and try it?"

Shi Liu took the pepper spray and sprayed it at the big rooster according to Xiuying's instructions.

The big rooster was instantly stimulated and started clucking and flapping its wings and running around. Shi Liu and her sisters were amused by the scene and laughed out loud, and their laughter echoed in the yard.

Taking into consideration Afan's big stature, Xiuying asked him to practice Yang Family Spear Technique with Shiliu so that Shiliu could have someone to learn martial arts from.

The daughters each took out their own self-defense items, and Xiuying made a simple breakfast.

At the dinner table, the children were still excitedly discussing their new weapons.

The third brother said: "Wait until I have mastered the bow and crossbow, and then we'll see who dares to bully us."

The fourth child: "I want to learn it quickly too."

Lao Wu: "Sister, that pepper spray is really powerful."

Xiuying looked at her daughters with a smile: "Okay, let's eat first. Only when you are full will you have energy to practice." The family ate breakfast happily.

After breakfast, Xiuying counted the preserved eggs that could be taken out of the nest, a total of two hundred. She also bought some angelica and rice paper from the space and gave them to Shiliu, asking Shiliu to take the rice paper and angelica together when he went to the city to deliver the preserved eggs.

Shi Liu took the item and said, "Don't worry, mother. I promise to complete the task."

Xiuying nodded: "Be careful on the road."

The last time I went to the provincial capital, I had already made an appointment with Zhenxiu Restaurant to deliver preserved eggs. Shi Liu was also familiar with Wenmofang and the medicine shop that bought rice paper. The price was also agreed upon before, so I just had to take it and hand it over.

Shi Liu and A Fan sat on a loaded oxcart. Looking at the road ahead, their faces lit with anticipation, "A Fan, this time we get into the city, we should be able to hand over everything smoothly."

Afan patted the cow's butt and said, "That's for sure. Let's leave early and come back early."

The breeze blew across their faces, and the ox cart moved slowly forward, the wheels making a creaking sound.
