In the center, surrounded by several male educated youths, was a circle with a diameter of more than one meter. The snow on it had been swept away. Ling Weidong used a stick to draw a circle with a diameter of less than half a meter, while the others used tools to chisel downwards along the drawn circle.
The ice was thick and frozen solid. Compared to the villagers, the educated youth were somewhat weaker. They spent a long time digging with shovels and only managed to dig a shallow trench. The deeper parts were only slightly better, but small ice shards were flying everywhere, making Jian Dan's teeth ache.
She heard from the villagers nearby that they had seen water.
"Seriously, are you guys even capable? Didn't you eat breakfast?"
The group looked back and felt a little embarrassed, but they really did have that much strength.
People like Lin Dongfang and Ling Weidong have enough strength, but they've never done this kind of work before and don't know how to use that strength. So even after all this time, they were still struggling.
"Hey, give it to me!"
This speed is simply unbearable to watch.
"You all step back a bit. At this rate, we won't even get to eat fish tonight."
"If you'd known you'd be this slow, you might as well have gone up the mountain to check out that little river. What if it's still flowing water? Wouldn't that have made it much easier to catch fish?"
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Jian Dan picked up his tools and started using force immediately after speaking. Yuan Ye and the others, who were forced to retreat, exchanged glances and their minds began to race.
Watching Jian Dan chisel away with the iron bar, Tan Yajun and the others behind him were filled with trepidation.
"Slow down, take it easy."
She was even more afraid that if she used too much of the simple method, it would cause the ice to melt, and she wouldn't dare to say anything more when she looked over.
Unlike before when small ice shards were splashing everywhere, this time, everyone clearly felt the ice beneath their feet vibrate, and they could only keep their balance by supporting each other.
"Huh? What do you mean? An earthquake?"
"Is the ice going to crack? It's so thick, it shouldn't be like that, right?"
Ling Weidong stepped forward, pulled Jian Dan back a few steps, and soon the vibration disappeared.
Take a quick look at them.
"It's not my fault. The ice was already cracked, so I thought, if I chisel it a couple more times, it'll open up, right?"
After looking around, the group confirmed that the small ditch from before had been completely cleared of its original shape, and in some places, they could vaguely see a little water flowing through it.
"You've worked hard. Leave the rest of the odd jobs to us."
Ling Weidong reached out and took the tools from her hand. He was a little scared at the last moment. If he had used too much force, the hole would have been completely pierced.
"Pah!"
