It's been three months since the construction site began, and it's been three months since the site was in full swing. But with the completion of the five stone arch bridges, almost half of the workers have already completed their work and paid their wages.

It's just that there is still time before the autumn harvest, and the bridge-building army, which is basically composed of plain farmers, is not in a hurry to leave, but stays on the construction site.

Anderson had already asked Donner about these people, and the answer was: since these people did not want to leave, let them level the two islands in the middle of the lake, build gardens, and plant more orchid trees.

In the evening, the three stewards of the construction site gathered in front of the simple house on the shore and had a simple dinner. In the past month or so, the young master who commissioned the bridge has rarely come over. The young master Madtim, who had come to the construction site in his place, seemed to be a painter, hiding in a simple room all day long, painting strange pictures.

Young Master John had just come to the construction site this morning, and after inspecting the five arched bridges that had been completed, he spent another half day talking to the lame shipbuilder Grover, and then left the site before evening.

Unlike usual, the three Maitim craftsmen, who are also stewards and are actually workers, did not discuss the progress of the project at the table today. There's not much more to say about the progress.

In the past three months, whether it is the bridge-building project that Ada is responsible for, or the ship that the lame old man Grover is responsible for, they have successfully completed the requirements of Young Master John.

Five of the seven bridges have been completed, and the piers of the other two have actually been built, and the remaining two months are enough to look at.

And the main part of Grover's strange ship has also been completed, and it can be driven away tomorrow morning as long as the temporary dock is dismantled and the river water is put in. When designing the arch bridge, the distance between the piers was large enough for the ship to pass.

Master John hadn't told Grover where the power for the ship came from, but it didn't matter, as long as it could float on the river, by a slender man, or by the riverbank, it could get it to the designated place.

As the three of them were talking about this, Ada looked at the ship and suddenly asked, "Cripple...... Do you think this ship can fly?"

The lame man in his mouth naturally refers to Grover, who has some inconvenience in his legs and feet, and Grover was not angry at all when he called him so, but just waved his hand and said: "This kind of thing, let's not ask nonsense." ”

"What's the ...... about this" Ada pouted: "This ship is so small, even if it can fly, it can't fly high, and it can't fly far." ”

"yes, even if you can fly, you can't fly high......" Grover casually agreed, hoping that Ada would end the conversation.

"Why did Master John build such a ship, you say?" asked Ada again.

"How do I know, if you want me to say, this ship is easy to explain, and the bridges you built are strange......" Grover said.

"I heard Master John say...... "Anderson is now nominally the head of the two, so he is correspondingly more stable: "These bridges were built to solve a mathematical problem. ”

"This math problem is really expensive...... Ada shrugged, "I really don't know what these old men think, what are they going to study with so much money...... Math Problem ......"

"Ada," Anderson said in a sudden deep voice, "I don't think you should have said that......"

"That's right...... Grover nodded, "Young Master John is a good man, you shouldn't say that." ”

"I ......" Ada blushed suddenly, "I didn't mean that......"

"A worker from Bhullar told me something a while ago......" Anderson put down his knife.

"Who's Bhullar?" asked Grover.

"I fell to my death two months ago, and that lucky guy ......," Ada replied.

"Oh...... I remember," Grover patted his head, frowned again, and asked, "You say he's a lucky guy?"

"Isn't it? If he dies like this, he will not only get two orange crystals, but he will also be able to engrave his name on that bridge!" Ada pointed to a bridge that had been completed, and on which the words Bhular Bridge were already inscribed.

"Okay...... If that's lucky......" Grover shook his head slightly.

"Of course it's lucky!" Ada's voice became a little louder, "You know what? Several times, I tried to jump off the bridge and get stoned to death. ”

"Then why don't you jump?" Grover laughed.

"It's not because Young Master John has been here less recently, I haven't found a chance......" Ada gave a lame look: "As long as I can engrave my name on the bridge, I am willing to die, and besides, the family can still get two orange crystals...... Hey, you said I'm dead, will Master John give me more......"

"Don't mess around!" Anderson interrupted him, "If you jump off, I'll tell Master John that you don't want to live anymore!"

Ada immediately shut her mouth and glanced at Grover as if asking for help, and the latter asked at the right time, "What did you just say about the workers in Bhular's village?"

"Hmm...... The women of Bhullar are not a good thing. Anderson replied.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Grover eagerly.

"She's going to run away with those two orange crystals, and she's going to leave Bhullar alone...... Oh, and Bhullar. Anderson shook his head.

"What?!" Ada stood up suddenly, and he almost knocked over the makeshift table, "this woman...... This woman ......"

"She's doing this, calling Bhullar and that child, how can she live......" Grover's voice trembled a little.

"Even if she doesn't leave, do you think a woman, with an old man and a child, can keep those two orange crystals? Anderson said coldly.

"But......" Ada sat down again.

"So, those two orange crystals hurt them?" Grover's brow furrowed, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Do you think Master John wouldn't have thought of this?" said Anderson, smugly, seeing that the effect of the story had been achieved.

"What the hell is going on?" said Ada, quickly," Ada asked quickly.

“...... Did the kid survive?" Grover said anxiously.

"The woman Bhullar went anyway, but, according to the workers of his village, there was a young lady who had taken Bhullar and his poor child and was bound for the holy city...... "Anderson said mysteriously.

"A young lady, but...... How do you know that this has something to do with Master John?" Grover wondered.

Anderson smiled slightly, and said, "The worker also heard his woman talk about it, and his woman said that the young lady was as beautiful as an angel, her hair was purple, and her long dress was spotless, bright red like a flame......"

"You mean......" Grover said slowly.

"yes, who else?" said Anderson, smiling.

"Who the hell is it and what are you talking about?" Ada was confused by the two of them.

"Ada, don't you remember the young lady who delivered food to Master John every day when the work first started?" Grover reminded.

Ada suddenly realized, that's right, the bright red dress, purple hair, and the young lady who is as beautiful as an angel is not the young lady who often delivers meals to the young master!

The three of them were silent for a while, and then Anderson said slowly: "Cherish these last two months, such an employer may never meet ...... in the future."
