When you have money in rural areas and build a house with an exterior wall, are you afraid of being disturbed by outsiders or to prevent thieves?

When building a house in rural areas, adding an exterior wall to the house can not only prevent outsiders from disturbing the house, but also prevent thieves. It has both functions.

I don’t know where the question is from, but in our northern rural areas, every household has an outer courtyard wall. The entire farmhouse looks like a large courtyard, with a main house, a south house, an east bungalow, a west wing, and another in the middle. The large hollowed-out courtyard is covered with a courtyard wall, which looks very neat and beautiful. All the messy things in the house are enclosed by the courtyard wall. Now some people even use it as a greenhouse, which is to cover the courtyard with a transparent cover, so that the home It's quieter, and it's in a private house. No one can hear what's going on at home when the door is closed.

Why was there a saying in the past about "listening to the base of the wall"? That is, if there was no courtyard wall, someone with an intention could cross the yard and sneak directly under the wall to eavesdrop, even if they whispered something in their own home. But with the outer courtyard wall, it is different. Once the door is closed, only the family members know the situation at home. No matter whether they are rich or poor, what is left to outsiders is the imagination.

Everyone knows that a high-walled compound is safer. If it is just a small hut and a tall person can step over it by turning over, then there is no safety at all, let alone prevention. A thief. After the courtyard wall is put on, the perimeter is protected by high walls, which forms the first line of defense against thieves. Nowadays, many people have surveillance cameras in their homes. In fact, it is not particularly expensive to install this thing. Basically, a surveillance head costs 1,000. Some people are buying 360° surveillance cameras with no blind spots, so they can monitor every move at home in the office just by holding their mobile phones.

From here, times are developing, technology is advancing, and high courtyard walls cannot keep thieves out. It is no longer the social custom of the past where people stayed open at night. Building an external courtyard wall can not only make the house look neat, but also protect the privacy of your home so that the appearance of your home will not be exposed to outsiders without reservation. You can also make full use of the space in the small courtyard inside the wall to raise chickens and ducks. Planting flowers and vegetables and the like.
