The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1144 - Chapter 1144 1144 can't go into the offal anymore

Chapter 1144: 1144 can’t go into the offal anymore Chapter 1144: 1144 can’t go into the offal anymore “Two meters underwater…” Wang Adou stood on the shore shivering from the cold, “In such a freezing day, getting into the water could freeze someone to death.” Saying this, he reached out to test the water, “Oh my goodness, Mom, this water is so cold, even colder than ice.

It’s already starting to freeze over, I’m sure a person would turn into a block of ice once they’re in.”

“Work in pairs, chiseling the seam from both sides,” Su Qingyue instructed, “Second brother, you and Fuquan go into the water first.

It’s inconvenient to work in thick clothes in the water, so take them off.”

“Okay,” without another word, Xiao Yishan stripped off his clothes and jumped into the lake.

Zhou Fuquan felt somewhat embarrassed to undress in front of her, but at this point, there was no need for grown men to be shy.

He also threw his clothes on the shore, leaving only his underpants on, and took up his tools and jumped into the water.

The two swam to the edge of the water cliff, held their breath, and dived two meters down to find the seam.

With their feet against the cliff, they took the awls in their hands and hammered them with hammers to chisel into the wall.

“What about us?” Yang Youli asked.

“Second brother and Fuquan won’t last long.

Holding their breath while chiseling underwater, they’ll need to come up for air a few times, then it will be about time to get out of the water, otherwise, they won’t be able to handle it.

Next, another pair will go down.

Now, let’s all start breaking some branches to build a fire for warmth when they come ashore,” Su Qingyue said, and took the lead in gathering firewood, “Two people help me with the firewood, and another two get ready to take over as soon as second brother and Fuquan come ashore and immediately go into the water to chisel the wall.”

Only two people could chisel at the seam from either side at the same time; there wasn’t enough room for more.

“I’ll go help you gather firewood.” This time, Wang Adou volunteered enthusiastically.

Su Qingyue had a hatchet in her hand that she had been holding from earlier.

Not far from the shore were many trees, their bark and branches jutting out.

Her speed at chopping wood was very fast, almost as soon as the second brother and Zhou Fuquan got out of the water, a pile of firewood was already burning on the shore.

With dry bark and fresh branches mixed together, Su Qingyue added the torches they had previously used for the night road to the fire.

The torches had pine resin on them, which caused the fire to burn very fiercely.

Yang Youli and another person immediately took over the second brother and Zhou Fuquan’s job.

“Come over here to warm up by the fire,” Su Qingyue waved to Xiao Yishan.

Xiao Yishan walked over and sat by the fire.

Su Qingyue picked up the clothes from the ground and draped them over him while also picking up Zhou Fuquan’s clothes to put on him.

Qingyue was a person from modern times.

Although she recognized the distinctions between men and women, she didn’t have the same prudishness as people from ancient times.

Moreover, rescuing third brother was of the utmost urgency.

Passing clothes to the two men didn’t feel inappropriate to her.

After a while, Yang Youli and the other craftsman also came ashore to warm themselves by the fire.

Wang Adou complained, but twenty taels of silver was not something his family could earn in several years, so he, too, went into the water.

The six men worked in shifts of three pairs.

Since it was too cold in the water and holding their breath made it hard to strike with force, they often found that after chiseling once or twice, they had drifted away instead of making progress on the wall, and had to swim back to continue.

When Yang Youli came ashore again, he said, “Chuan’s wife, as soon as you go into this pool, there is ice floating on the surface.

We can’t go in the water anymore.”

Even Zhou Fuquan said, “Sister-in-law, when we go into the water, our bodies turn to ice.

It’s really impossible to chisel anymore, and that hole in the wall probably can’t be expanded any further.”

“How much has been chiseled away?” Since Su Qingyue had not gone into the water, she couldn’t see how wide the seam was two meters down from where she stood on the shore.

“It still lacks about the distance of three fists,” he estimated.

Qingyue said solemnly, “We have that little bit left.

I ask everyone to help a little more.”
