These days, Xiao'er spent most of her time with Shangguan Xuanyi and Di Shaowei, traveling back and forth between several bridges.
Constructing such grand bridges was not a simple task, and Shangguan Xuanyi had invited all the talented craftsmen and engineers he knew to help solve some of the technical difficulties they encountered.
Fortunately, the water level continued to recede daily. To facilitate the construction, Xiao'er had ordered the piling up of numerous sandbags to divert the water flow.
We had to block the flow in four different locations to create a workable environment.
The time was pressing, and the project was enormous. The nights were growing longer, and the days were becoming shorter. Every worker started to work at dawn and continued working into the night, aided by the light from torches.
