Chapter 282: Thoughtful And Meticulous
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
By the time Xiaoxiao and the commoners who came to serve entered the city, the villagers next to the Dusk River had already been relocated to other highlands and the materials needed to rebuild the dam were ready. Xiaoxiao heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was different from her dream.
Relieved, she moved Mother and Second Brother into the space-time hut to have a good sleep when they were not paying attention. Then, she watched the long line of 10,000 people fighting with the heavens for time for a while.
Before the laborers from other places arrived, Chen Yong had already recruited workers to repair the dam. At this moment, everyone was lying on the ground to rest. Time was so tight that they did not even have the leisure to return to their residence. After sleeping, they still had to continue working.
Xiaoxiao looked around and confirmed that no one was approaching. The workers here also fell asleep. She immediately instructed the space: [Baby, use space projection. Make it nine times slower. Let them rest well.]
The people lying on the ground actually did not dare to fall asleep, afraid that they would accidentally oversleep and delay their work. However, when they suddenly woke up, they realized that there was still starlight above their heads. After asking around and knowing that they had only slept for less than an incense stick of time, they immediately lie down again in confusion.
She would not be puzzled. How could she have the time to think about such nonsense at this juncture? She would seize the opportunity to sleep.
After watching them sleep well, Xiaoxiao put away her space projection and walked towards the dam. From afar, it looked like a huge dam that far exceeded her current ability. Otherwise, she would definitely find an opportunity to use the space function to stabilize the collapse.
However, with the space in hand, there were more than one or two methods. When they reached the upper reaches where there were fewer people, Xiaoxiao reached her hand into the river…
A few days later, dark clouds covered the sun, and the warm sunlight was covered tightly. The heat of the past few days was swept away, and everyone actually felt a trace of coolness on this hot summer day. However, be it the commoners and craftsmen who were in a hurry to repair it, or Lord Chen Yong, they could not be happy.
Because this kind of weather meant that rain would fall at any time.
In addition to cutting off the flow and building the dam, the craftsmen had also built a large-scale canopy over the past few days. However, everyone knew very well that all their efforts could not withstand the storm of nature. Chen Yong was anxious. His clean image of a scholar was replaced by a dirty one. The corners of his eyes were filled with bruises and there were blisters at the corners of his mouth.
“How is it?” Even he, who did not do much physical work, could not take it after working hard every day, let alone those craftsmen and commoners who sweated under the hot sun all day. Hence, when he asked this question, he was already mentally prepared to accept the worst outcome.
Every time, many people would faint, fall sick, be injured, or… die. He had been busy confirming the safety of the interception area and the subsequent construction materials. He had just woken up when he remembered that he had never heard such news from the dam construction area. He was afraid that he would be so busy that he would forget and delay the treatment of the injured and sick.
The adviser carefully flipped through the booklet. He was also very surprised. “Sir, everything is normal. Although there are some accidental injuries, they’re all small injuries. I’ve already asked the doctor to treat them properly.”
Chen Yong took the notebook and asked as he read, “Is anyone suffering from heatstroke on such a hot day?”
The adviser was full of admiration. “The chef hired by County Magistrate Shen is so considerate. She provides cooling soup for the workers every day and even built a simple shed where everyone rests. There are also straw mats and rough cloths on the ground. I don’t know if it’s because they slept well, but the craftsmen and commoners are all energetic after the shift change. They all say that they feel like they have slept for a few days and nights, so they have never made a mistake when working.”
“County Magistrate Shen is indeed your junior brother. He is so thoughtful and meticulous..”
