You're setting up all these sharp traps around your gold when you step on a sharp acorn (えい) that's just lying on the floor. Ouch! But wait, then you get a great idea!

Imagine covering the floor around your gold in sharp acorns. This is basically a Home Alone situation, and anyone who tries to steal your stuff is gonna get stuck full of sharp things and probably stabbed by your guard.
