But they understood that this beautiful life was made possible through the help of someone.
It was all thanks to Yun Yi! This deity resided in Zhao Family Village. Although Xing Zhuang Village was not far from Zhao Family Village, merely a few miles apart, a round trip on foot would take over an hour. This meant they could not travel between the two places every day.
Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing were not ignorant individuals. They knew that if the current situation continued, they, as the first to encounter the deity, might lose their status and gradually become marginalized. As the saying goes, those in advantageous positions are more likely to receive blessings.
To stand out and not be overlooked, they needed to strengthen their ties with Zhao Family Village and the deity. The most straightforward way to do this was for everyone to relocate to Zhao Family Village. Perhaps this meant leaving behind everything in Xing Zhuang Village, especially their familiar homes. But for a better future, they believed it was worth it.
However, the future was something to seize. Faced with the choice between the present situation and the future, they decisively chose the former. Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing did not hide their thoughts; they candidly expressed what was on their minds.
Yun Yi asked, "Are you really planning to move all the villagers to Zhao Family Village?" He then inquired about what would happen to the land in Xing Zhuang Village and Xing Zhi Lin.
Zhu Ji immediately replied, "We will not easily give up those lands. Our families are considering taking turns caring for the farmland and forest."
This was a solution, but far from ideal. Once they moved into Zhao Family Village, making a daily round trip of nearly sixty miles while also tending to the fields and woods would undoubtedly place a tremendous burden on the villagers.
After some thought, Yun Yi suggested, "I agree with unified management, but a complete relocation to Zhao Family Village seems inappropriate."
He continued, "I suggest you still reside in Xing Zhuang Village."
To this, Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing appeared somewhat hesitant. "But—"
"No buts," Yun Yi interrupted their uncertainty. "You have cultivated Xing Zhuang Village with great care; it would be a pity to abandon it so easily."
He proposed a plan. "How about this? I plan to build a railway between Xing Zhuang Village and Zhao Family Village to reduce the burden of your daily commute."
A railway?
Not only Zhu Ji and Xiahou Xing were puzzled; others were as well. Although the name was simple and clear, it was entirely unfamiliar to them.
"Immortal Sir, do you mean to build a road connecting the two villages?" Zhu Ji cautiously probed.
Yun Yi nodded and shook his head. "It is indeed a road, but it transcends the usual meaning of a path. This road is made of wood and iron, called a railway. Once constructed, small vehicles can be placed on the tracks for rapid movement."
Although the speed of the railway in My World is not particularly fast—at most reaching eight meters per second—it represents an extremely high efficiency given the technological level at the end of the Eastern Han dynasty.
