Chapter 82 Discussing Preventive Measures

Under the blazing sun, Village Chief Yang of Jinhe Village, accompanied by Village Chief Tian, ​​arrived at the Ruan family home to find Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao to discuss joint training between the two villages. After some discussion, Village Chief Yang of Jinhe Village ultimately decided to agree to implement the same conditions as the agreement Ruan Mumu had previously signed with Jinwan Village.

The training venue was chosen to be Jinwan Village, and the personnel from Jinhe Village will travel to Jinwan Village for training. After all, the two villages are not far apart, taking no more than 15 minutes to walk, which is not a problem for farmers at all.

"Village Chief Tian, ​​I truly never expected that these two young children would offer such constructive suggestions. I always thought that only people over thirty years old would know so much!" Village Chief Yang of Jinhe Village exclaimed with a smile.

"Haha, don't underestimate these two kids. Despite their young age, their minds are just as sharp as ours, those of us who've lived for decades!" Village Chief Tian replied proudly. He had full confidence in Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao, believing they could lead the two villages to even greater development.

"Indeed, we dare not underestimate those two. Just now, when we were discussing the issue together, their demeanor was no less impressive than ours, these old folks!" Village Chief Yang laughed heartily.

"Village Chief Yang, your village should select three hundred people in the next two days according to the plan. They must come to participate in the training at the designated time. Please provide us with a list so we can arrange for people to take turns patrolling, especially on the other side of the mountain. There must be someone monitoring them at all times. Otherwise, if they sneak over, the people from our two villages will be the first to suffer," Qiao Tinghao said seriously.

His anxious tone made everyone present realize the seriousness of the situation. After all, their village was too close to the enemy country; the slightest mistake could have unimaginable consequences.

Qiao Tinghao continued, "Furthermore, everyone must be on high alert during this period and cannot let their guard down in the slightest. If any abnormality is discovered, notify everyone immediately. We also need to take some preventative measures, such as some common hiding methods we've learned about, like digging tunnels in the villages. We need to connect the tunnels in both villages. If the enemy comes, the elderly, weak, women, and cowards certainly won't be able to run far. The safest option is to move to a nearby hiding place. Grandpa Village Chiefs, do you think this is feasible?"

"Village Chief Yang, I told you, these two kids are quite ambitious. Look at one taking such a large sum of money without even blinking, and the other has a whole set of ideas. We just need to follow their arrangements. Brother Yang, you should go back and get things arranged as soon as possible. It's best not to let this get to other villages, lest it cause panic and the county magistrate has to come and talk to us," Village Chief Tian specifically instructed.

Village Chief Yang nodded, indicating his agreement with Village Chief Tian's words. He knew full well the weighty responsibility for the village's safety and that he had to do everything in his power to ensure it.

Then, Qiao Tinghao added, "In addition, we need someone to keep an eye on the enemy's movements on the mountain. We need to set up sentry posts on the mountain as soon as possible, and build small huts while the weather is still warm, otherwise people will freeze to death in the winter. At the same time, we also need to stockpile supplies, just in case."

"Yes, preparing supplies is very important. We heard in the county town that the Xirong people have been frequently provoking our border recently. Food prices might rise then, so we need to make adequate preparations for food in advance. Otherwise, if food prices really do rise, we'll have to spend a lot more money!" Ruan Mumu said. Although she has a spatial ability, the population of these two villages is small; she can't possibly support the entire village by herself, can she?

"Mumu is right. I'll arrange it as soon as I get back," Village Chief Tian agreed. After all, in these days, even if you have money, you can't buy food when there's a war.

"Tinghao! Shouldn't we prepare a batch of defensive weapons? What if the enemy sneaks in? Are we left with no choice but to hide?" Village Chief Tian asked worriedly.

Ruan Mumu and Qiao Tinghao exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

"Village Chief Tian, ​​please rest assured, we have made preparations. However, we cannot take out our weapons casually. We will use wooden products instead during training. Otherwise, if we actually use weapons for training, not only the county magistrate, but even the prefect will probably come to interview us or confiscate them," Qiao Tinghao said seriously.

He then lowered his voice and whispered to the two village chiefs, "Our weapons are excellent. If someone sees them, we might be accused of possessing weapons illegally. So we won't take out our weapons unless absolutely necessary."

"Tinghao! Can we see him first? Just a glimpse?" Village Chief Tian asked quietly.

Qiao Tinghao looked at Ruan Mumu, who immediately understood and nodded, "Wait a moment, I'll go get it."

Ruan Mumu stepped out of the room, a problem suddenly occurring to her: the defensive weapons her older brother had prepared couldn't be kept in ancient times—it wouldn't be safe. Would they be safe in the country villa? What if they were discovered? Their crimes would be serious! What should she do? Ruan Mumu began to feel anxious; she hadn't considered this much before.

"Dear Master, have you forgotten me? I'll keep you safe!" The purple elf's voice echoed in Ruan Mumu's mind.

"Didn't you say you couldn't hear my call? So you've finally decided to come out?" Ruan Mumu sneered.

"I've come to help my master solve his problems."

"Speak! What's your solution?" Ruan Mumu finally calmed down a bit.

"Master, after the last system upgrade, you now have your own virtual space! It's upstairs in your space, where you store your things, and no one else can see them except you." The purple elf's words were like heavenly music, giving Ruan Mumu a jolt of energy.

"So the system upgrade also has a perk. From now on, my parents won't be able to see my things stored there, right? This will reduce the occurrence of some strange things, and my parents won't have to worry about me all the time, right?" Ruan Mumu was both surprised and delighted when she heard this news.

"Even so, the virtual space is currently small, only ten square meters. You need to work hard to earn money and upgrade!" the Purple Elf kindly reminded her.

“Okay, I’ll work hard to make money so you can become stronger.” Ruan Mumu was happy and answered readily.

Ruan Mumu immediately moved all the weapons that Ruan Haohao had collected for her to the small room on the roof, and now she no longer had to worry.

When Ruan Mumu came out of the bathroom, she had a steel knife, a dagger, and an electric baton in her hand.

Upon entering Qiao Tinghao's small living room, both Village Chief Tian and Village Chief Yang stared at the items with shining eyes.

"These are the weapons you were talking about?" The two village chiefs were astonished as they looked at the gleaming steel knife and dagger. They had never seen such a material before, and the weapons looked to be of the highest quality!

“Yes, this is very sharp. If the imperial court finds this, it will definitely be confiscated, so it can’t be taken out easily. And this too.” Qiao Tinghao held up the stun gun and said, “Don’t be fooled by this dark stick. Once the switch is turned on, no one can escape its power.”

"Such excellent weapons must be hidden well," Village Chief Tian instructed.

Finally, Qiao Tinghao concluded, "Grandpa Village Chiefs, as long as we work together and take timely precautions, we will definitely be able to protect our homeland!"

Both village chiefs echoed each other. At this crucial moment, everyone knew they bore an important mission and would do their utmost to fight for the peace and future of the village.
