Ancient Wenheng smiled without a word. Feeling the biting wind up here, he quickly helped Jin Qianqian fasten her cloak and put on her hat.
He and Jin Qianqian first greeted everyone, then he led her on a tour of the lighthouse he had designed himself.
"Look at the view of the sea from here. Isn't the scenery especially beautiful?"
Facing the sea breeze, Jin Qianqian looked out at the vast ocean and nodded. "The higher you stand, the farther you see."
Ancient Wenheng pointed to the brazier on the side. "From now on, it will be lit for two hours every night after dark. That way, even those who lose their way at sea will be able to see it."
To find the perfect spot, he had taken men along the coast, making inquiries and scouting until he found this high point.
Jin Qianqian noticed a small hut behind them, inside which two simple beds had been set up. "Are people going to stand watch here at night?"
