When it comes to water resources, my grandfather is a little worried. "Life on this island is good in every way, but I'm afraid water resources are hard to find."
Yun Ruoxi: "Grandfather, don't worry. I've already thought of this. Look at this part of the blueprint. I want to use a mountain to build a huge reservoir. In this way, the water stored in it can not only be used for our daily life and irrigation of the land, but also as a backup reservoir. We can also use the method of purifying sea salt mentioned earlier. At the same time, we can divert water resources for human drinking. In this way, there will never be a shortage of fresh water."
"I just wonder if this method of purifying sea salt is difficult?"
Yun Ruoxi: "It's not difficult at all. As long as you have the equipment, it's easy."
Hearing Yun Ruoxi's assurance, the Duke of Ying felt relieved. "This time, Grandfather is retiring and returning home. Many people in Jincheng are eyeing Grandfather's official position. I'm afraid it won't be long before everyone will find out about Taohua Village. We should make preparations in advance."
Yun Ruoxi: "Just looking at the drought over the past three years, it seems that no one has the energy to deal with other things. I don't think the thing that grandfather is worried about will happen. Even if it does, with the current strength of our two mansions, we can easily handle it."
"I hope that what we are worried about will not really happen. However, now that Taohua Village has built fortifications, its safety will be greatly guaranteed in the future."
Mu Ruxue: "The Taohua Village chief treated us like that before. If it were up to me, we shouldn't have rescued the villagers of Taohua Village. Let them go. After all, we have the means to save our own lives."
Yun Ruoxi: "That's true, but we need this legitimate identity now. When the war comes, everyone will definitely run for their lives. If we hide on the island, no one will find us."
Grandfather continued, "Xixi is right. Although we already knew about the impending drought and the war that would break out in three years, no one else knew. We couldn't tell anyone, or we would be exposing our secret. As for the villagers of Taohua Village, we can just find a reasonable excuse to shirk responsibility. It's not a big deal. But I'm very pleased that you've done this for them. Although many of them aren't easy to get along with, most of them are kind-hearted."
Speaking of the villagers of Taohua Village, Mu Ruxue became a little angry. "We used to have a good impression of Taohua Village. With Xiang'er and Hua'er here, we had someone to talk to in the village. But ever since we met Fangcao's family, it feels like everyone in Taohua Village is looking at us strangely."
In fact, Mu Ruxue didn't just say this casually, Yun Ruoxi also felt the same way.
How to say it?
It's a feeling of awe and fear, but they have to stand on the side of the Xiao family and want to rely on the Xiao family's guards to resist the refugees. In fact, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue both feel that the people of Taohua Village have now regretted settling the Xiao family in Taohua Village.
Yun Ruoxi sighed helplessly, "Alright, let's not talk about the past anymore. It's not a big deal. Let them be. We just need to do what we should do and have a clear conscience."
Mu Ruxue: "That's all I can do. However, I will definitely not help the villagers of Taohua Village anymore. Right now, asking everyone to help build the city wall is already the most I can do. One more thing, once the island is built, if the villagers of Taohua Village ask to flee with us, you can't just give in out of pity. The villagers of Taohua Village won't remember our kindness, and they might even expose our secrets. Anyway, I don't trust the people of Taohua Village at all."
Yun Ruoxi: "Don't worry, the villagers of Taohua Village will definitely not take them over, but if it's the village chief's family, we still need to investigate further."
Upon hearing Yun Ruoxi's words, Mu Ruxue immediately became anxious. "Why do we need to investigate the village chief's family again? Is it really necessary? Have you forgotten what the village chief promised us when we dealt with Fangcao's family? Yang Feng sent Fangcao's family to a better place to settle down, which gave Fangcao's family the opportunity to fight back. If the two of us hadn't rescued them, the village chief's family would have been killed by Fangcao's husband long ago. We have already repaid the favor, so there is nothing to worry about."
Grandfather also interjected, "I support Xiaoxue's opinion on this matter. Xixi is just too soft-hearted. We've already done what we should do. As for the rest, it's not our concern. Everyone has their own destiny. What did Taohua Village do to you? You two have done enough. Just like Xiaoxue said, the favors that should be repaid have already been repaid. If we continue to drag it out and fail to cut off the relationship, we will be the only ones who get hurt in the future."
Yun Ruoxi was successfully persuaded by the two men and nodded, saying, "Okay, I understand this matter. Whether it is Village Chief Gu's family or the entire Taohua Village, we will no longer provide any help. Helping Taohua Village build the city wall is the last thing we have to do."
"Very good, very good. My two grandsons-in-law also mean the same thing. We have done what needs to be done. The rest depends on how the villagers of Taohua Village will respond. If they can defend Taohua Village, it is their good fortune. If they can't, there is nothing strange about it. Everything is fate."
After almost finishing discussing the matter, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue prepared to go back to their own building to rest.
They had already agreed that their mother would stay at the Duke of England's mansion for dinner, so the two of them were not planning to go back so early.
Anyway, I have a place to stay in the Duke of England's mansion, so I just went to the embroidery building here to rest.
On the way back, Mu Ruxue asked, "Xixi, why did you help Village Chief Gu's family? Can you tell me the reason? I know you never do things for no reason. I think you know what the villagers of Taohua Village, including Village Chief Gu's family, have done. But you still insist on doing this. I think there must be a reason that I don't know."
Yun Ruoxi frowned and said calmly, "I don't know either. I just have a voice in my heart telling me that I must help Village Chief Gu's family. You know, my sixth sense is quite strong, so no matter what Village Chief Gu's family does, as long as it's not too extreme, I will find a way to save them. If you don't accept Village Chief Gu's family living on the island, then I will find them another place to live, as long as it doesn't have to be on the island."
