There were still more than ten days left, could it be because of this variable?

No, Xie Xiao meant last night that a major flood is coming soon. What went wrong?

This is a battle against nature! Li Ruo urged the craftsmen to speed up the construction of the wall.

Twenty meters, fifteen meters, ten meters...

She felt anxious, yet incredibly relieved that she hadn't ordered such a large space.

Two more sunrises and sunsets passed, and finally the wall was completed!

The next day, the barbed wire fence was also erected. It was exceptionally sturdy and could withstand an impact of three tons without any problem.

The walls, gates, and doors are all solid cast aluminum explosion-proof doors, as solid as a rock. The wire mesh is made of iron bars, which are slightly less robust, but still very thick and strong, capable of withstanding a five-ton impact force.

The inlet and outlet of the canal are fitted with the same iron fences at the base of the wall, so even hippos can't get in, let alone people.

The windows are made of tempered glass with iron bars; not even a bullet could penetrate them, let alone an arrow.

I spent a million points just on doors and windows.

Ordinary people absolutely cannot break in or get past it.

Do you really think there are unparalleled masters who can fly up to the city wall with incredible agility? No.

Finally, the installation of the water turbine generator was carried out by her and Liao Fusheng to maintain secrecy.

Liao Fusheng was only half-understanding and couldn't imagine what effect this impeller-equipped thing would have. He just did whatever Li Ruo told him to do.

At this moment, the sky grew increasingly overcast, and the air pressure dropped lower and lower, but suddenly a series of sultry gusts of wind began to blow.

"Hurry." Li Ruo frowned.

The two of them worked for half a day in a ditch that was two meters wide and one meter deep. They were soaked to the bone, looking like drowned rats, but they didn't care.

The generator was installed, and the wiring began in the afternoon. By evening, the job was finally done, and lights were lit under the eaves.

"My God, this!"

Grandma Li and Lian Lizhi were quite frightened.

Such amazing things exist overseas!

Li Yi was excited and wanted to install one in her room as well. Li Ruo hadn't installed the wiring in her room because she was worried about time constraints. "We'll see how things go later," she said.

There's a switch in front of the house and one in back; just push it up and the wire mesh is electrified!

Master Liao caught a bird that had crashed into a tree.

Li Ruo threw the bird onto it, and sparks crackled. It wasn't high-voltage electricity after all, and the bird twitched for a while before becoming silent, emitting a slightly burnt smell.

"This is called electricity, the same kind of electricity as lightning in the sky. If it falls on a person, they will be electrocuted and die," Li Ruo said.

"What... what kind of magic is this?" Even the audacious Old Lady Li, who dared to curse Song Zhijing, was truly astonished this time.

My granddaughter can actually summon lightning! Did she learn that from Master Liao these past few days?

What kind of magical artifact is that thing spinning in the ditch in the yard?

Lian Lizhi seemed the most timid, but she calmed down the fastest. "What if the bandit leader Xie and his men from the mountain stronghold accidentally run into them?"

“I will put a wooden sign outside to remind them not to touch it. If they get electrocuted, it's nobody's fault,” Li Ruo said.

Even after listening to Taoist priest Liao's celestial teachings for several days, he hadn't expected such an effect and couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing, truly amazing!"

Something that can't be seen or touched has such power!

Isn't this exactly what those who cultivate the Tao are striving for?

Lightning, the lightning of thunder! They had cultivated their Tao for so many years, yet they had never been able to speak with the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess in the heavens, let alone make lightning work for them.

Could the girl be...?

From that day on, Li Ruo felt that Liao Daoshi's gaze towards her occasionally flashed with a burning spark.

It made her a little uneasy.

Of course, humans are incredibly adaptable, and it wasn't long before they got used to it.

Another day passed, and the house was simply renovated. Li Ruo took advantage of her family's inattention to open each room and simply changed the bedding.

The whole family was surprised again, and they all exclaimed: "The manpower that Boss Xie borrowed is really great."

My granddaughter is spending too much; this furniture looks like it belongs to a wealthy family.

The initiation ceremony was skipped, but Li Ruo felt it was only right to treat Xie Xiao to a meal to thank him for taking the blame for her during this time.

But according to Xiao Li, Xie Xiao and his brothers, including Sun Ergou, went down the mountain four days ago and haven't returned yet. His mother and brother's family, who were just kidnapped, are making a fuss in the village and want to leave. They can't keep quiet until they come back.

"Wasn't it two days?" If I remember correctly, the book said that it only took him two days from planning to finishing. Could something have gone wrong?

How many people did they bring?

Now, in Xiao Li Zi's eyes, Li Ruo is considered one of his own. "Three thousand. Two thousand here, and Zixia Mountain also contributed one thousand."

So there are still so many people on Zixia Mountain; no wonder there are five thousand. The book says there are three thousand too. "Has no news come back?"

Little Li shook his head, looking very worried. "I don't think this is right. I want to take a few hundred people to meet them."

Li Ruo looked at the sky. Damn, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it had even started to drizzle. If Xie Mu Niao kicked the bucket, it wouldn't be good for her. "I'll go with you."

"OK."

Now that the house was built, Master Liao was going down the mountain to Qingfeng Temple to give his fellow Taoist priests another piece of advice.

Then everyone went down the mountain together.

Dead birds could be seen everywhere along the road, and birds kept crashing into trees one after another.

Li Ruoxin's heart pounded.

A great flood is coming!
