It was already the end of March and the beginning of April, and the weather was finally warming up.
However, since the heavy snow at the beginning of the year, it has never rained in the entire Mulan City.
The weather was very dry, and the vegetation on the ground was no longer the common green color of this season, but a sparse and withered yellow, just like the pitiful hair on a bald man's head.
Because the wall is high, you can't see what's inside the wall when you stand on the ground.
Xia Yuanfang pointed to Xia Chujian and said, "This is a long enclosed wall, but only two gates are opened, one on the north and one on the south. There's a lot of space inside the wall, so I bought two self-driving cars to use inside."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "Aunt is really generous. I never thought that I could live in a mansion with a traffic light right at home."
Xia Yuanfang couldn't help laughing and said, "I really want to install traffic lights. Although not many people drive inside the wall."
Aunt Chen and Yingying, who are currently living there permanently, do not need a mobility scooter.
Three-Mane might need it, but he likes to run on the ground barefoot and rarely uses it.
The rest are people from the Baili family, but they have their own cars and don’t need Xia Yuanfang’s car.
Xia Yuanfang bought the car as a precautionary measure.
Xia Chujian admired the scenery from outside before walking into the south gate.
As soon as you go in, you will find that the scenery inside is many times better than that outside.
On one side of the wall is a covered wooden corridor with a simple and elegant shape, but also with clear edges and corners. It has both the sharpness of high technology and the elegant beauty of antique buildings that has been precipitated by time.
Xia Yuanfang said, "When we were choosing the wood, Baili Xin said that hemlock would be best. It's cheap, but as strong as steel."
"But Aunt Chen said that in the area of the Strange Beast Forest near the Far North, there are many elm trees that have been growing for who knows how many years. They are so old that when they are cut, they are a deep ink red, with a natural glaze without the need for paint."
"And Aunt Chen said that the wood of the elm tree is not only much harder than hemlock, but also has a characteristic that makes people less jealous."
Xia Chujian understood and clapped her hands, saying, "That's great! Even if someone sees my corridor, they won't think of taking it for themselves!"
Xia Yuanfang said, "Of course, without jealousy, there would be no greed. Aunt Chen's help really touched our hearts."
Aunt Chen said hurriedly, "Researcher Xia, you're really exaggerating. I'm just a nobody. We're just ordinary people, without any backing, and we have such a large business. If we don't keep a low profile, we might not be able to keep our wealth..."
Xia Yuanfang nodded and said, "Indeed, I used to worry that we were being too high-profile. We were ordinary people with nothing, but suddenly we had a piece of land. If the output was even better in the future, we might not be able to keep it."
Although Xia Chujian didn't agree, she thought to herself that whoever wanted to take her family's land would be killed by her!
But less trouble is worse than more, and she is not really a killer...
At this moment, she looked at the elegant glazed corridor of her own house, and felt that the sky was high and the road was long, and her heart was calm.
Sure enough, it makes people calm and not greedy.
Xia Chujian asked again, "Since we're providing the wood ourselves, the cost to Baili Xin should be reduced, right?"
Xia Yuanfang said, "Yes, because we provided the wood ourselves, the cost from Boss Baili was suddenly reduced by 100,000."
Xia Chujian suddenly felt more refreshed.
She looked at the white path in front of her, wondering what kind of building material it was made of. It looked very delicate, but not like the smooth ceramic tiles.
Apart from that, there is only green lawn, which seems like another world compared to the withered and bleak scenery outside the wall.
Xia Chujian couldn't help but ask, "The grass here is so lush and green, why is it different from outside? Isn't it all due to lack of water?"
Aunt Chen said, "This was done by San Zong. He was busy for two months. When the Baili family was away, he came out to build a culvert, diverting the water from the small lake around the wall."
"Ah? That lake doesn't look very big to me. With such large-scale water diversion, is the lake... still there?" Xia Chujian was very curious.
Aunt Chen clapped her hands and said, "Isn't it strange when I first saw it? The lake doesn't look very big, but San Zong built such a long underground canal to divert water, and the water level hasn't changed at all. It's still the same depth, neither more nor less."
Xia Yuanfang said, "That lake must be connected to some other big river, otherwise it wouldn't be like this."
Xia Chujian laughed heartily and said, "I've found a treasure! I really have found a treasure!"
Originally thought to be a wasteland, it would take Sanzong several years to turn it into fertile farmland.
Unexpectedly, Sanzong solved the water problem in just a few months!
Aunt Chen said, "This isn't that easy. If it weren't for the generator you brought, we wouldn't be able to bring water into this culvert."
Xia Chujian sighed: "So, energy is the top priority!"
So it’s not that no one has thought about how to take care of this wasteland before, but the cost was too high and not cost-effective, so those people gave up.
