Xishan is basically a rocky mountain, and they simply don't believe that water can be drawn down.
The mountain path was steep and difficult to traverse; a person could barely make it up. However, carrying an iron bucket weighing over a hundred pounds, it took more than ten people a long time to move it less than ten feet.
Chen Qingqing couldn't help either; she could only cheer her on from the sidelines.
"Everyone, give it your all! If we can get this up there, we'll have succeeded."

With water, dry land can be turned into fertile fields, which has been their dream for generations!
Wu Baoan and the others also got busy. With many hands making light work, they arranged the iron pipes in order in less than an hour.
Chen Qingqing and the others also carried the iron bucket to the water source halfway up the mountain.
She had observed that the water flowed from a crevice in a cliff, below which was a single, enormous rock.
The entire rock is as flat as if it had been cut by a modern machine, and it measures a full six meters in length and width.
There is a natural round hole in the very center, through which water flows underground.
Fortunately, there was a flat, large rock. The group placed the iron buckets in place, and the water flowed into the buckets.
Upon seeing this, the crowd cheered.
"Great, the water really changed course."
"Yes, that's a great idea."
