Jing Changjiang turned to Admiral Lin and said, "You take someone with you to stay in our courtyard. All the people who come later and have positions can stay in our courtyard."

He was arranging subsequent accommodation issues so that people with positions could have better places to live and to facilitate discussions.

Patting Admiral Lin on the shoulder, Jing Changjiang said helplessly, "Let the brothers eat and rest quickly. Next we have to help the latecomers set up tents."

Then he pointed to the open space at the foot of the mountain where Zhuangzi came from, and said, "You are lucky to have arrived early, otherwise you would have had to sleep on the ground."

Brigadier General Lin was flattered as he walked forward with the general's arm around his shoulders, but he looked indifferent. "When we were in the north, we didn't even have a tent, but we were still so hard to sleep that we couldn't be woken up, right?" Although his words were light-hearted, they also revealed the simple conditions on the battlefield and the bitterness in his heart.

"Hahaha! Don't worry! Most of the houses on the mountain have been built, so there won't be many people who need to build them themselves."

Jing Changjiang responded with a smile, his words both comforting Admiral Lin and encouraging everyone. As long as everyone worked together, there was nothing they couldn't overcome.

……

Jing Chunxi and Xu Zize stayed on the mountain and came up with a way to save more time.

At first, she stood on one bank, unloading the ore onto the clearing where the trees had been cut, starting from the side closest to the mountain. As she unloaded the ore, she slowly retreated toward the stream, and the ore followed her, bit by bit, toward the Xishui River.

By doing this, she can ensure that all the open space is fully utilized, and she can also keep an eye on the status of the ore accumulation at all times, avoiding the ore accumulation being too close to the stream and causing unnecessary trouble.

As a result, Jing Chunxi had no choice but to retreat into the stream, sometimes taking off his shoes and rolling up his trouser legs, sometimes jumping into the water, or standing on rocks protruding from the water.

The stream was so clear that you could even see the pebbles in the water. She soaked her feet in the cool water, feeling the slight chill brought by the current. Xu Zize naturally followed her closely, protecting her from any accidents.

They both wore veils, and Jing Chunxi's veil had an extra ring made of rolled-up branches. Xu Zize had made it for her after Jing Chunxi complained about the burning sensation on her head.

He found some soft branches, carefully woven them into a hat ring, and then gently put it on Jing Chunxi's veil hat. This small gesture made Jing Chunxi feel warm in his heart.

At noon, their feet were cool, but their heads were burning. The sun hung high in the sky, scorching the earth mercilessly. Although their heads were shielded by veils and twigs, the sunlight still filtered through the gaps and shone on their faces, bringing waves of heat.

Even so, Jing Chunxi still concentrated on the operation, wanting to finish the work quickly. She gritted her teeth and tried to stay focused, without stopping the movement of her hands.

Xu Zize protected her and helped her hold her shoes, while he looked around and thought of a solution.

"Xi'er, look!" Xu Zize suddenly exclaimed, and pulled Jing Chunxi's shoulder from behind, motioning her to look back.

He pulled so hard that Jing Chunxi almost lost her balance. Xu Zize quickly used his elbow to support her from behind.

Looking in the direction of his finger, she saw the familiar stream, rocks, and clearing after logging. She didn't see anything special and couldn't help but feel puzzled. She turned to look at Xu Zize, her eyes full of confusion.

"Xi'er, look! The water is narrow there, and there are two large rocks in the middle." Jing Chunxi looked carefully and saw that it was indeed the case. It was these two large rocks that blocked the water in the middle, causing it to become turbulent and flow down much faster after passing this point.

She nodded in agreement.

"Didn't you see it when you came here last time? There are almost the same river sections every few sections. This is because the slope of the mountain suddenly becomes steep here." Jing Chunxi looked at Xu Zize and couldn't help laughing in his heart.

Brother Xiaokang is such a smart man, how could he think this was a miracle? It seems that he has been imprisoned in the palace for too long, and he doesn't know the sufferings of the world, let alone the dangers of the mountains and forests. She shook her head slightly, thinking secretly in her heart.

"Look at those two rocks." Xu Zize shook his head helplessly and said, "We can go through there."

In the summer, there was abundant rain, and the river was wide and deep, making it impossible to wade across most sections of the road. But these two large rocks were their help.

"And then?" Jing Chunxi might have been too focused to react immediately. She frowned and looked at Xu Zize, waiting for his explanation.

"If we can go through every section, we can take care of both sides! We won't have to go back and walk such a long way tomorrow." Xu Zize explained patiently, his eyes full of anticipation.

Jing Chunxi suddenly realized, she slapped her head and said, "Yes! Maybe we can take a bus back when we get to the downstream." She felt inexplicably excited when she thought that if she used this method, she could not only save time, but also save a few hours of walking on the mountain road to get home.

She felt that she had been a little foolish just now, because Xiaokang had not explained it clearly. With this good idea, they were no longer anxious about rushing the deadline, but instead relaxed their nervousness.

The sun's direct rays in the mountains are brief. After only an hour or so, the high mountains behind block the sun from the sky. The mountains rise and fall, stretching endlessly, like giants guarding this land.

After the sun was blocked, the mountains and forests suddenly became cool.

However, there are also disadvantages to living in the mountains, that is, the sky darkens quickly and it gets dark quickly.

After unloading only about 30% or 40% of the river, it was almost dark. At this time, they also arrived at a gold mining site with a wooden house.

"I quit!" Jing Chunxi sat down on a big rock, raised his two white feet, and said with a frown, "They're all wrinkled like dried vegetables."

She had already walked a lot, and her feet had been in the water so often that they seemed never dry. Her legs felt like they were filled with lead, completely devoid of the refreshing comfort she had felt when she first entered the water. She sighed helplessly, feeling exhausted.

"I'm sorry, Xi'er. Soak them in hot water later." Xu Zize put on his shoes and saw that Jing Chunxi's feet were still dripping with water. He asked her with concern, "You don't want to wear them anymore, do you?" He looked at Jing Chunxi with heartache, his eyes full of tenderness.
