While Xu Changqing was trying to catch chickens to test the water quality in her newly named Changqing Garden, Shen Weimin was busy as well. He had also gotten up today before the crack of dawn.
After washing up, Shen Weimin made his way to an old courtyard house in what was once Upper Waifang Village, part of the Xiangyang Team. He took the opportunity to go before the supplies he had arranged for arrived.
This was the old house now registered in his name. It had stone walls and a thatched roof, and the wooden picket fence surrounding it was reinforced with thorny branches packed into the trench at its base.
Most families rarely bothered to pile thorny branches into their fence trenches. It wasn't as if they lived right by the mountains and had to guard against wild animals entering their homes.
