Jiang Qinyu dared not take credit and quickly said, "That's still your achievement. You were the ones who led the people to set the traps all along. However..."
"But what? My dear niece, you must tell us what you're thinking!" Village Chief Li said urgently.
Jiang Qinyu was both amused and exasperated by his reaction. "It's not a brilliant suggestion, but I was thinking that we should connect the traps that Ashao and the others dug to make a firebreak plus a trap belt. That way, no matter who comes to our village, they won't be able to escape easily."
"Trap zone?"
"Firebreak?"
Village Chief Li, Chen Shao, and the others all looked at Jiang Qinyu, indicating that they didn't quite understand.
Jiang Qinyu explained, "There is a drought now, which makes it easy for fires to break out. Our village is right behind Yunshan Mountain, especially the outer area, which is very easy for a fire to start. Whether it starts burning from the village or from the mountain, it will be bad for us."
"If we have firebreaks, we can keep the fire hazards in the mountains out of the village, and if a fire accidentally breaks out in the village, we can quickly move our belongings to the other side of the firebreak to ensure everyone's safety."
"In addition, we have already made traps. Now we just need to connect the traps to make a trap belt, and then make it into a fireproof belt."
This combination of firebreaks and traps is a win-win situation, protecting against wild animals, fires, and invasions, saving the village a lot of effort.
"I understand!" Chen Shao clapped his hands, his eyes shining with excitement. "I'll bring people to work on it tomorrow. We need to put something in the trap so that no one who falls in can walk out unscathed like they did tonight!"
Liu Yazi nodded and said, "We need to add a lookout tower or thatched hut over the dam, and have someone guard it every day..."
Soon, other villagers also began to offer suggestions.
"And also, the kids can keep an eye on things during the day, they only need two work points a day, one is fine too, so the adults can do other things during the day..."
