What are the wonders in the countryside?

My great-grandfather was from Sichuan, and his real name was He. Around the end of the Qing Dynasty, famines and wars frequently occurred in Sichuan. In order to survive, my grandfather in his twenties carried a hoe and a bamboo basket (there is an inkstone in the basket, which is still in my house), doing odd jobs, picking wild fruits or begging all the way from a certain place in Sichuan (the specific location can no longer be searched) to journey to the south. When I arrived at my hometown (a village in Gansu), there was a well-off bear family there. My grandfather is lean and capable, and he has no children of his own, so he takes his wife as his son-in-law. Gaozu changed his name, and the children in the afterlife were divided into two factions, one surnamed Xiong and the other surnamed He. Gaozu thrives and manages his family well. He gradually became the pillar of the family. Although he was in the midst of war, he also used his ability to unite his people to cultivate the land, and there was quite a surplus of food at home, so that his people would not be hungry and displaced. Gaozu is kind and generous, and often helps his neighbors with food. However, this goodwill has aroused the covet of bandits in neighboring counties. At that time, bandits were active. In order to prevent bandits, Gaozu built a castle in the village, where thirty or forty people from the whole family gathered to live. According to my grandfather's memory, the fortress was rammed with earth, surrounded by houses, leaving only a small door to enter and exit. Once, a group of robbers with more than 10 attacked here. Facing the bandits with knives and axes, at the age of 68, Gao Zu defended Baozikou with a three-stick single-handedly, knocking over six bandits. He himself was stabbed seven times, all of which were injured in key parts such as head, chest and abdomen. Bandits suffered heavy casualties, so they cleaned up the casualties and fled. Because of this, bandits didn't invade again. After the bandits left, the people saw that Gaozu was seriously injured, and he was old and the treatment conditions were extremely poor. They didn't think he would live, so he simply wrapped it up and prepared for the funeral. Who knows that Gaozu never stopped. At first, he could only drink porridge, and then he could eat normally. Six months later, he fully recovered at the age of 75. Every time my grandfather talked about this, he lamented the courage and tenacity of Gao Zu, which surprised me.
