"What are you doing?"
Hearing the familiar voice coming from behind her, Xia Xue instantly woke up and said happily:
"Miss, you're back."
"Let me take a look, is he hurt?"
Yingying also quickly came to Jun Shutong: "Miss and the Second Young Master, are you okay? Are you injured?"
Jun Shutong stopped Xia Xue's hands from groping around on her body and said with a smile:
"I'm fine, and so is my second brother. The people who assassinated us were from the Qinglong Gang, and they've been dealt with."
She briefly described the assassination incident today to the two of them. Xia Xue was so nervous that the flowers in her hands were crushed to pieces.
The land in the space is still under development. During this period, two acres of land have been reclaimed and directly planted with grass and saplings.
After a period of time, when the grass has produced seeds, you don’t have to go out and hire someone to dig the grass.
The work of weeding and fertilizing was done by other farmers. Since they were not busy during this period, Yingying only acted as the initiator. When she had nothing to do, she would drink tea, raise fish, and play with the small animals.
Today, Xia Xue was suddenly sent into the space by the young lady, and she felt bad. However, they could only enter and exit the space freely with the young lady's consent, so she was unable to help even though she wanted to.
Now that she saw that the young lady was safe and sound, she felt relieved.
Yingying took Jun Shutong to the stream and let her see the carp she had raised for some time.
The carp was not big, only about the size of three fingers, and swam happily in the stream. When it saw people coming, it hid at the bottom of the water, and then poked its head out again after a few people passed by.
"Just carp would be a bit monotonous. Grass carp, crucian carp, whitebait...you could all add some."
"This creek is still too narrow. When the time is right, we'll hire some people to widen it to the width of the river."
"Is it the kind of river that can be navigated by boats?" Xia Xue asked.
"Well, a ferry that can at least carry more than ten people. Of course, the wider the better."
With the artificial river, crops will no longer need to be irrigated with water from outside.
There are very few streams in the space. It was widened some time ago, but the amount of stream water has not increased.
Therefore, Jun Shutong believed that the water in the space would not increase for no reason, and he needed to wait for it to rain again.
When there is time, dig a river and store the rainwater when it rains in the future for multiple uses.
Yingying nodded thoughtfully and offered some suggestions: "If we build it according to the width and depth of the river, it would require at least thousands of workers."
Xia Xue was surprised: "Do you need so many people?"
"Even with thousands of people it would take many years to complete. It's no small undertaking."
"Then can't we build a smaller ferry? How deep would the river have to be to accommodate more than ten people?"
Xia Xue couldn't imagine how spectacular it would be if this river was really built.
Jun Shutong shook his head: "The river can only be bigger, not smaller."
"Do you know how big this space is? How far can you see? Has anyone of you reached the end so far?"
Both of them shook their heads. Not to mention measuring it with their feet, they had never even finished the journey on horseback.
The fog in the distance seems to be at the end ahead, but when you ride your horse closer, the fog is ahead again, as if you are chasing it, but no matter how fast you run, you can never catch up.
Seeing the two shaking their heads in confusion, Jun Shutong said, "This space is a world. You can refer to the map of Tianxing Continent to compare how big a world is."
"Perhaps it's smaller than the Tianxing Continent, or perhaps it's much larger. So far, I've never crossed the area where the fog is, so I don't even know how big this space is."
"The vegetation we've planted now is just a drop in the bucket. Mountains naturally require water, but water resources are currently scarce, so widening the river is a matter of time."
"hiss."
Both of them took a deep breath. It turned out that this space was many times larger than they had imagined.
In Jun Shutong's expectation, when the space is shaded by green trees, the mountains and rivers are lush, and it is suitable for human habitation, it will be possible to build a city here.
The two of them naturally did not understand Jun Shutong's grand ambitions. They just thought that the young lady liked rivers. After all, there was only one canal within the territory of Dayu, and it was far away from the capital.
Many noble children would travel thousands of miles every year just to take a boat trip to explore the scenery.
Anything rare in the world is coveted, even a river is no exception.
As for the sea, it is even farther away. Many people have only heard of it in legends. After all, ordinary people cannot step out of the small place they live in throughout their entire lives.
After strolling for another half a minute, Jun Shutong took Xia Xue out of the space.
When he returned to the classroom, he saw Jun Cheng'an looking anxiously at the door. He walked around and didn't hear his sister's voice, so he knew that she must have entered the space again.
When he came to his seat, Jun Shutong lowered his voice and asked, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Those little bastards from the Fujiwara family seem to be making some moves. We must be careful today."
"We just played assassination this morning, what do they want now?"
"It's still unclear at the moment. We only know that their people have been going back and forth several times, and we don't know what they are doing."
"Yeah, I understand."
Jun Shutong looked over and saw Fujiwara Saburo sitting obediently in his seat, like a model student.
[Huh, why is that guy so well behaved? There's something strange about that.]
[Host, the Fujiwara clan has set up an ambush on the road, saying they want to teach you a lesson.]
[Humph, you overestimate your own abilities. If one comes, I'll kill him. If two come, I'll kill them both. Today, I won't hold back.]
After school, the brother and sister waited for Jun Fengting to go together for the first time.
"Cheng'an, why don't you take your sister back? What are you doing here?"
"Brother, you are about to graduate, and we want to go with you today."
"Yes, big brother, my sister said that she had nothing to do today, so we came to find you."
Jun Fengting was very happy that his younger brother and sister relied on him for once. He quickly got off his horse, took off his bow and arrow and handed them to his followers.
"Wait a moment, I'll go change my clothes first."
"good."
The two of them responded obediently and stood there waiting for their eldest brother.
Soon, a handsome young man in white clothes as white as snow and with a graceful figure appeared in front of them.
"Brother, you are so handsome, even better looking than a star."
Jun Fengting no longer worries about who the so-called star her sister is talking about is. Over the years, she has figured out her sister's thoughts thoroughly.
Handsome means good-looking, and celebrities are the people she thinks are the best-looking.
However, his sister often says that good-looking guys are very handsome when she sees them, so he now understands that in his sister's heart, there is no most handsome, only more handsome.
Those female classmates who hid in the corner and peeped every day were extremely envious when they saw Jun Fengting being picked up by his younger brothers and sisters.
Some people were drooling, staring at the backs of the people leaving, while some people clenched their fists, wishing that they were the ones to stay with Jun Fengting.
The three siblings left the academy chatting and laughing and got on the same carriage.
In the carriage, Jun Fengting said seriously, "Tell me, why did you wait for me to go home together today?"
