Making a Water Wheel (2)

Bluepool hammered on the ice, making the hole bigger. "Why isn't the deepwater warm? The lake must be too small. Do you think I should punch through the soil on top of the water?"

"I don't think so. If you make the lake bigger, more water will be exposed to the cold air and freeze."

Bai Qingqing seriously analyzed the situation before continuing, "Any bit of warmth in the water right now is residual heat from the hot season. If you punch through the ground, all the heat in the water will be lost. I don't know if the water will freeze, but it will definitely become colder."

Bluepool suddenly came to an understanding and patted his chest in fear.

"Thank goodness I have you. What should I do now? The surface of the water froze while I slept, and I haven't even slept well today. I got woken up by the cold." Bluepool lay on the ice and said worriedly, "There's no more fish too, and I had to dig through the mud for food. Am I going to die of hunger?"
