I heard from the people in the village that in recent days, Mo Saoyun asked Sanxizi to help Xia Xiaoshu sort out the medicinal materials in the warehouse. Shi Jiu was careful and regretted it.

Before and after, Shi Jiudang sent medicinal materials twice to the medicinal materials warehouse managed by Xia Xiaoshu. What surprised him was that Mr. Xia was very knowledgeable and kind, and Shi Jiudang's couple earned a lot of money than usual.

However, Shi Jiu didn't dare to touch these two incomes, and there were old people and young people. If he encountered some trouble, he would not have to pay for it!

Although the life of the farmer family is not as expensive as that of the city people, they have to spend money every day!

Although I usually have a lot of work, I can't make much money even if I've earned. I just handed over the money to my child's mother and it won't take long to spend it. After carefully deciding the accounts, I really can't figure out where the money was spent.

No matter how capable you are, Shi Jiudang is really a little confused when he lives a life.

Shi Jiudang's couple is not good at financial management.

Mo Saoyun is different. She is a famous genius in all corners of the country. She can honestly and on time and help Mr. Xia take care of the batch of medicinal materials. There must be a considerable profit in it.

To be honest, Xia Xiaoshu was the first to look for him, Shi Jiudang.

Shi Jiudang felt that he had settled the account wrong again...

Today, I heard Mr. Xia say that it turned out that the small business didn’t make money at all. Thinking of this, Shi Jiudang felt much more relaxed. However, Shi Jiudang was a loyal person. Not long after, he felt a little sorry for Mr. Xiaoxia.

It is not easy for a city man to come to this wilderness! His family has gained a lot of benefits, not to mention that Mr. Xia has always respected him as his brother. As a result, he wanted to do some small business and earn some money, but he found various reasons to stay out of the matter. After thinking about it, Shi Jiudang couldn't help but curse himself in his heart a little unauthorized.

When Xia Xiaoshu suddenly mentioned the custom of preventing thieves in the countryside, Shi Jiu suddenly felt energetic.

"Since he asked this, he must have his intention. At least he could do something practical for him. Otherwise, I always feel sorry for others." Shi Jiudang felt much more at ease.

After all, the people in Yugu Village are much more kind-hearted.

When Shi Jiu mentioned the "Rat Locking Buckle", Xia Xiaoshu couldn't help but lit up and asked quickly: "What is the "Rat Locking Buckle"? It's not a small mechanism made of stone, right?"

"Or the people in the village praise you for your intelligence! It is a small mechanism for preventing thieves made of stone. All the components are made of stone. However, almost no one uses that thing now, and there is no time to work hard to make stone chains. Let's use ropes instead. Wait a while, there seems to be a few pairs left in my house, so I'll take them for you." As he said that, Shi Jiu walked out quickly and went home to get the so-called "mouse lock buckle".

The members of the archaeological team were busy for days and were very tired at this time. They almost ate customized lunch boxes at the construction site for dinner. Once they returned to the warehouse, they didn't have to prepare food. They just washed and rinsed and then took a break.

For a moment, inside and outside the courtyard seemed quiet.

Xia Xiao went to the kitchen to clean some fruits for Shi Jiu, brought them to the office and put them on the table, left the door, walked slowly to the southwest corner of the courtyard, stood there, observed up and down for a long time, but he was wondering what he was thinking about again.

"Just weigh this thing, you can weigh it, it's a bit of weight!" As he said that, Shi Jiudang quickly walked into the courtyard gate and handed Xia Xiao a few stone objects.

What a good guy! It's really a bit of weight!

When I looked coldly, the so-called "mouse lock buckle" looked more like a stone inkstone with an enlarged size. Four-fifths of the middle part were sunken, and the four corners were carved with exquisite patterns. When you adjust the angle and look carefully, the four corners were actually engraved with traditional Chinese characters such as "Tianluo", "Dimen Net", "Shaolu", and "Wumen". Overall, it looks square and is created with angular edges and corners. At first glance, it is the work of a stonemason with extremely skillful skills.

The "Mouse Locking Buckle" has eight cracks distributed from the center to the four corners. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it. At this time, the eight cracks are closed, and there is a lively and clever mouse pattern carved in the middle. Two buckles were specially carved at the corners of the two sides of the words "Tianluo" and "Ground Net". Xiao Xia guessed in his heart that these two buckles were probably used to tie stone chains.

"Does this thing have to be buried in the soil? As long as the thief stepped on it, the thing would immediately disperse and lock his ankle bone?" Xia Xiaoshu asked casually.

"Yes, this thing looks simple. In fact, the mechanical design inside is very exquisite. Do you know? There is nothing to do with steel wire here. The pure ones are made of stones. My father is just as skilled as he needs to use a lot of stones to make a pair of locks like this. My grandfather is much more powerful. A whole piece of stone was knocked and beaten by his old man's hand, and a pair of "mouse lock buckles" were done."

"Your grandpa is such a magical skill! I admire you, admire you! I will find two more ropes and tie them to those two buckles to use it?" Then, Xia Xiaoshu asked for a few more questions.

"By the way! This thing is a bit particular! The rope tied to the 'Tianluo' is a 'Control Rope'. After the arrangement is done, the rope head can be held in your hand. The rope tied to the 'ground net' is called 'Master Rope'. It can be tied to a tree, on the stake, or buried directly under the ground."

"It sounds really interesting! At night, I have to keep guarding in the dark. Is that what it means?"

"That's not necessary. Don't underestimate this thing. It has a good adjustment button. Come! Let me demonstrate to you. If you want to deal with the thief hard, you can tighten these brackets and lock them. As long as he steps on it, he will immediately lock his ankle bone. You have considered it just now. This thing has weight. Even if you don't break the ankle bone, it will definitely make him hurt. Keeping it makes him unable to escape. The old Shi family is kind, leaving room for creating this thing, and the size is much relaxed. My grandfather said that when he met the more sinister stonemason, he tightened the size and broke the thief's ankle bone in a flash."

"Ah?! That's too cruel! If we don't do that, teach me quickly. It's so scary. Don't hurt anyone." Xia Xiaoshu quickly explained a few words.

"Hahaha... Look, you are nervous. The thief is not a good person. Look, if you twist and lock it like this, this thing will have no lethality. If the thief is too stupid and can't take off his body, you are looking for a control rope, pulling it, and shaking it like this, the thing will naturally be loosened."

"It's so exquisite! I admire you, admire you!" Xia Xiaoshu felt that he was also open today.
