When building the Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China was completed at its northernmost point. This project started from the southeast and southwest respectively, and finally intersected here. In the east and west wall-building armies, this method of building in sections was implemented on a much smaller scale, so that the wall builders were divided into squads of about twenty men, each squad being responsible for building out five hundred meters, and then an adjacent squad would build a section of the same length toward them. However, when the two sections were connected, they did not continue to build down to the head of the kilometer, rather, the two teams were sent to a completely different area to build the Wall. This method naturally produced many large gaps, which were gradually and slowly filled in, some even after the Wall was declared completed. Yes, it is said that some of the openings were not filled at all, and although this is a view that can probably only be seen in the many legends that surround the project, the scale of the project is so large that it is impossible to verify these legends by one's own eyes and one's own standards, at least not by a single person.

The 2 meters of rope
It was too late when the fire was discovered. The man pulled the woman and rushed for the stairs, only to be pounced back by the fire. The fire spread quickly, and the whole building was like a mad burning charcoal, baking every inch of space into a hot iron. Even though they closed the door tightly, tongues of fire and smoke pushed their way in through the door, one by one. The small room gradually became hot and unbearable.

Marriage Of Convenience: Part 8
Kirby smiled as he nodded his head happily. “Hello Lina,” he said quietly. “It’s me.” Lina turned her attention away from him momentarily and regarded him. Her eyes widened in surprise as she saw that he was wearing his cloak, which had slipped from his shoulders during the brief moment of hugging. “Oh...um, good day Lord Karson,” she stammered softly. Then she hurriedly turned back to face Kirby. “You must forgive me,” she said as she quickly removed the hood from Kirby’s head. “I am just so happy to see you.” Her voice broke slightly in her last sentence. She wiped a stray tear that threatened to roll down her cheek.
