Overcast sky, approaching noon, this is usually when the laborers are most exhausted and eager to relax.
Because soon it will be time to eat, and after a whole morning's work, both physically and mentally, they wish for a break.

At this time, they are working with great enthusiasm and vigor.
"Oh, less than half an hour to go before rest, we must hurry up."
"Damn it, why do we have to eat and rest again; can't we cut out the meals and breaks here."
"No way, I haven't worked enough!"
"Seriously, haven't had enough!"
"Can Young Hero and Heroine stop treating us like humans?"
"Yeah, this life is easier than being cattle, what kind of lousy day is this, taking so much money, it makes one feel guilty."
...
Their enthusiasm for work is beyond imagination, not only because of good pay and proximity to home but also because they regard Duan Yun as one of their own and fear for his loss.
