Chapter 397

After the fish in the two ice holes were all scooped clean, the four of Wu Dong continued to go back to chisel ice holes.

It could be seen that these four were stimulated by the fish scooped by the two ladies, and they were even more looking forward to scooping fish themselves.

These were all reflected in the ice chisel; the ice chisel was swung so hard it was about to fly.

But the job of chiseling ice holes, even if the ice chisel is poked until sparks fly, the speed is actually about the same.

About half an hour later, the two old ice holes were full of fish again, and the two new ice holes were also chiseled through to the water.

This time, before Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian could make a move, He Liang and Ma Guoqiang had already picked up the big strainer early.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian were like children whose favorite toys had been snatched, and they became anxious immediately.

Only to hear Sun Nian say: "Do you two understand what ladies first means?"

Zhang Shuya also immediately followed up: "That's right, do you two understand what cherishing the jade and pitying the fragrance means?"

While speaking, they were about to step forward to grab the big strainer, but because He Liang and Ma Guoqiang also wanted to scoop fish, they held the big strainer tightly and wouldn't let go.

He Liang probably knew that the big strainer in his hand couldn't be kept, so he said with full good words:

"Niannian, good Niannian, let's discuss it; I'll just scoop once, can I just scoop once?"

And Ma Guoqiang was a bit afraid of Zhang Shuya, and even more pleadingly said:

"Sister, good big sister, don't be like this, I'll return it to you immediately after scooping once, just scoop once..."

But these two said a train of good words, yet Zhang Shuya and Sun Nian were not moved at all.

Must say, people who don't know martial arts versus people who know martial arts, whether fighting or tearing each other apart, in any aspect, are not opponents.

So soon, the big strainers in their hands were snatched away by the two ladies.

Then it was the two ladies who were happy, while the two men were dejected.

But although the two were dejected, they still ran over to watch the two scoop fish.

After all, watching fish scooping is also quite interesting.

Wang An sighed in a low voice on the side: "Sigh! Yin is prosperous and Yang is declining!"

Seeing this, Wang An decided to do something for his male compatriots.

Consequently, Wang An turned his head to Wang Li, who was watching the four people laughing foolishly.

"Old Five, you go back and harness the sled immediately, find your uncle and get the chainsaw filled with oil, then take a few iron rods and square picks—remember, square picks, don't take the wrong ones—and then go borrow four or five big strainers or landing nets."

Wang Li smiled upon hearing this and said: "Alright fourth brother, I'll go right away."

After Wang Li finished speaking, he drove the sled and darted away.

The reason Wang An asked Wang Li to get the chainsaw is because Wang An knows that in later generations, catching fish in winter basically doesn't use ice chisels to chisel ice holes; they all use electric drills and chainsaws.

And Wang An didn't use the chainsaw to chisel ice holes before because he felt there was no need; after all, this thing was borrowed.

When Wu Dong said to return it, as long as nothing was missing, that was Wu Dong being particular and taking responsibility for himself, but if he really did that and broke the chainsaw, it would be a bit shameless.

But it's different now; after all, Wu Dong is right there, and now it's them who want to come scoop fish, not him.

The meaning is different.

Seeing Wang Li drive the sled away, Wang Shuai immediately asked: "Little An, what did your brother go do? Why did he leave?"

Others also noticed this situation and immediately turned their eyes here; whether they were scooping fish, watching, or waiting for the ice hole to produce fish, they all stopped.

Wang An laughed and said mysteriously: "You guys do what you need to do; you'll know in a while, hahahaha..."

More than ten minutes later, Wang Li returned again, and the things Wang An asked Wang Li to take were all there without missing a single one.

Seeing the things on the sled, everyone suddenly realized and praised Wang An and his brother for their insight.

Without a word, Wang An pulled the chainsaw, found a suitable position, and pressed the chainsaw chain against the ice surface.

With the sound of the chainsaw "Tutututu..." ringing, a square ice block with a side length of more than 70 centimeters was cut out.

But at this time, there was a big piece of ice in the ice hole, so Wang An used the chainsaw to cut this big ice block horizontally and vertically.

Finally, everyone worked together to pry out the ice blocks inside with square picks and iron rods, and this ice hole was done.

Must say, the power of machines is truly unparalleled.

An ice hole that took an hour and a half to chisel only took 10 minutes with a chainsaw.

Following the example, Wang An and the others used the same method to cut another ice hole.

Just like this, 6 ice holes appeared on this ice surface.

But although the ice holes were cut out, the 6 people including Wang Shuai and Zhang Shuya were not happy.

Only to see these 6 people look at the ice holes they had chiseled with great effort using ice chisels before, and then look at these two ice holes cut with a chainsaw.

Finally, these 6 people looked down at the ice shards all over their bodies.

Only to see Wu Dong ask Wang An with a full face of question marks and a very unkind tone:

"Little An brother, why didn't we use a chainsaw before we chiseled the ice holes?"

Hearing Wu Dong's question, the other five people also surrounded Wang An with unkind eyes, just surrounding Wang An in the middle.

Wang An suddenly discovered that he was doing a good deed, but instead, he threw himself in!

So, doing good deeds is not suitable for him; "no good deed goes unpunished," who can deal with this?

The key question is, if he tells the real reason, it seems like he looks down on Wu Dong, or puts Wu Dong on the spot.

Most Northeast people, including Wang An, are like this; for some things, they care very much about face, and specifically why it's like this, they can't say clearly.

Consequently, for his own safety, Wang An immediately started smiling and fooling—no, explaining:

"I wasn't doing this to let you experience a complete fish scooping? Didn't you notice? The ice hole cut with a chainsaw has no soul."

Seeing the hesitant eyes of several people, Wang An continued to explain:

"Our farmer brothers scoop fish with picks and ice chisels; where are there chainsaws? Right? So, we have to experience everything, we have to know everything, that..."

Just like this, Wang An fooled these 6 people with flying spit.

Just as several people were leaving, Wang An gave each of the four of Wu Dong a big strainer or landing net.

He also smiled and said: "Look, am I particular? I gave each of you a tool to scoop fish."

But when several people left, they were discussing with each other:

"Why do I feel that chiseling ice is not interesting at all?"

"Yeah, it's damn tiring."

"Hi, it's just an experience; I won't chisel this thing in the future."

"Damn, my arm, it hurts from chiseling ice..."
