Eating other people's flesh is nothing; when there is no food, they even exchange children to eat each other. It is no exaggeration to say that the scene was a living hell.

Even family members kill each other, let alone strangers.

Just like how Xie Xiao is ultimately portrayed as a hero in the book, his world has nothing to do with the original owner of the body, nor with all the dead refugees. In the book, all he can do for the original owner's family is retrieve their corpses, probably out of consideration for General Li.

Retrieving bodies from a flood is a highly dangerous task, so he did his utmost.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others; Li Ruo wouldn't place her hopes on others when faced with a life-or-death situation.

Li Ruo looked at the sky, feeling a little uneasy. To speed things up, he asked Sun Ergou to tell Xie Xiao to hire fifty more people.

Based on this, Li Ruo estimated that the bare shell could be built in three days, since it was just a square, single-story building.

To speed things up, there were no complicated plumbing or electrical pipes. At most, they would install a septic tank in the toilet, which would take a couple more days because she didn't want to go outside to empty the chamber pot during heavy rain.

As for the renovation, the exterior is just a cement wall and we don't need to worry about it. The interior walls will be plastered and then painted white. It is expected to be completed in three days.

The construction of the wall and the digging of the canal will take longer, but they must still be completed within ten days.

Grandma Li and her sister-in-law were naturally shocked.

They wanted to ask Li Ruo where she knew such a skilled overseas person who sold her so many good things, but seeing that she was so busy that she barely had time to breathe, and that they were also busy helping with cooking, they put their questions aside for the time being.

These past two days, Grandma Li used the silver notes given to her by her granddaughter to exchange for a batch of flour, meat, vegetables, firewood, and a large pot from the Black Wind Village craftsmen. She's been busy cooking for everyone every day.

Lian Lizhi was in charge of cooking and preparing dishes, while Xiao Liyi helped gather firewood and fetch water from the waterfall. The construction site was bustling and lively, making it seem like it was almost Chinese New Year.
