Li Weizhou was lying on the haystack, his folded clothes under his head, and the only conspicuous object in the room was a clay stove, with a red fire, and a few wooden benches were messily placed around him, all of which were full of people.

Li Weizhou's injuries were not treated in a timely manner along the way.

When I arrived at the coal mine, the unformed right arm that was caught was already frozen black and purple, and if it was not treated, the whole person might disappear into the endless cold winter with the right arm of black and purple.

The guards in the mine cut off their right arm from the shoulder, but fortunately, the wound on the chest did not fester, and the rest depends on God's face.

"It's freezing on this day, and even bears with rough skin and thick flesh can't stand it, how can there be man-eating beasts on the road?"

"When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that there are unclean things in the mountains. Hurt Captain Li, I'm afraid it's not..."

"Put your mother's fart, why did you grow up in a pair of pants, how did I never hear of it, don't scare people here. ”

"Second brother, how the fuck are you talking, just talk, what are you scolding your mother for!"

"You didn't fucking say that?"

Saying that, both of them stood up, with a menacing posture.

"Okay, okay, Captain Li is still lying down, what's so noisy, why don't you dig coal with this posture, don't look like you are wilting when you go to the mine. The middle-aged man by the fireside stopped the two who were shouting loudly.

The two sturdy men looked at each other and sat down on their stools in a sullen voice.

Most of the workers in this mine are from nearby villages, and the middle-aged man is the foreman here, looking at the two of them with a straight face.

At this time, the grass was rustling, and Captain Li woke up from his coma, and the people in the room hurriedly surrounded him.

Li Weizhou opened his eyes with difficulty, trying to support himself with his hands, but he couldn't feel the presence of his right hand, only a burst of pain in his shoulder.

Li Weizhou twisted his head, but still saw his empty sleeves, he couldn't help gritting his teeth and moving, there was a sharp pain in the entire upper body, and Li Weizhou couldn't help but scream.

"Captain Li, you just woke up, your body is still weak, lie down first. The middle-aged man squatted beside him, "Second brother, go and call Commander Zhang over." ”

"Good. The man hurried out of the room.

There were a lot of people gathered in the room, and Li Weizhou was lying uncomfortable, so he struggled to sit by the fire.

"Make me a pot of tea. Li Weizhou stared at the red firelight, and his whole face was unusually sallow, revealing a sickness.

Shi Ming hurriedly prepared when he heard the sound, quickly broke the dried dates and roasted them on the fire for a while, and put them into a clay pot with tea leaves, wolfberries, and sugar.

The jar boiled on the stove, and the tea quickly boiled.

Everyone was silent, and the only thing in the room was the gurgling of jars.

Shi Ming poured the boiled tea into the bowl and added some water to the jar.

After the tea was left to dry for a while, Li Yizhou picked up the tea bowl and drank it all, only to feel a warm current spread throughout his chest, and his body seemed to have regained some strength.

"Captain Li, what is the beast that hurt you?" a guard in light armor broke the silence.

"I don't know, it looks like a white ape. Li Weizhou's voice was still a little hoarse, "Moreover, that beast can use vitality." ”

"Vitality?!" everyone was surprised.

Yuan Qi is very rare for people, and with the help of the exercises that have been handed down over the years, a fierce beast can use Yuan Qi, which is obviously a bit incredible for these people.

"I've heard before that there are ancient remnants of strange beasts in the depths of this Luo Qingshan, and those strange beasts look no different from ordinary beasts, but they have extraordinary intelligence, and most importantly," Commander Zhang's left hand exuded cyan vitality, "They can use vitality." ”

"I've heard of it too. My grandfather told me that if we want to collect firewood or something, we must not dare to go to a deep place, because this deep mountain is full of man-eating beasts, and it is guaranteed that people will not return. There are several strong men in our village, bold and unbelievers, and then I have never seen those people again," the man who was called the third man sighed, "I remember that my grandfather said that this strange beast is called Luo Qing's relic. ”

"You just make it up, I haven't heard my grandfather say it. The second child sneered for a while, and suddenly there was no sound in the room, and the second child felt embarrassed, touched his head, and stopped talking.

"It's just that Luo Qing's relics only haunt inaccessible places, and if it's really Luo Qing's relics, none of us should be able to come here alive. Li Weizhou looked puzzled.

"I remember that the white-haired monkey seemed to be scrupling about something, and maybe there was something they could restrain the white-haired monkey and scare him away. A young man dressed in black crossed his hands in front of his chest and said solemnly.

"Go, go, what do the hairy boys know, could it be that the knives in their hands scared it away?"

"You're two months older than me, call me a hairy boy?" the man dressed in black instantly put on a menacing posture.

"Didn't you see that Captain Li had just woken up, and if he yelled loudly, get out. Commander Zhang's face darkened, and the two of them were silent in an instant.

Li Weizhou drank a few cups of tea in a row, and his whole body was much more comfortable, but his head was still buzzing, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and his body couldn't help but tilt down. Fortunately, everyone gathered around, so they hurriedly helped Li Weizhou to lie on the haystack.

"It's better for Captain Li to recover from his injuries earlier. It was a cold day, so Captain Li rested early. I have already sent someone to report this matter to Jielingkou. Commander Zhang glanced at the people around him, and everyone understood and went out of the house one after another.

"Disturb Commander Zhang. Li Weizhou lay on the bed, his eyes closed, and the pain from his body made his body tremble slightly.

Commander Zhang let out a long sigh and walked out of the house.

There were only Li Weizhou and Shi Ming left in the room. There was a shortage of manpower in the mine, and the stronger ones went to work hard, and only a few people were arranged to take care of Li Weizhou, and it was Shi Ming's turn to take care of him today.

"Boy, are you sleeping?" The voice was very small, but Shi Ming heard it very clearly.

"Nope. ”

"You can also see that life is impermanent. That kid told me before that he wanted to get ahead in the army and go back to ask for a wife to live a good life, but he lost his life inexplicably on the road where birds don't. I've also become a waste, and it's hard to say whether I can survive this winter. ”

"Captain Li, I heard the gentleman in the village talk about Luo Qing's relics, and I always thought that they only existed in stories. Shi Ming didn't feel a trace of sleepiness, his eyes staring at the faint red light from the stove.

"Then you tell me about it, anyway, I can't sleep. Li Weizhou's eyes were closed, and the words he said were like a dream.

"Mr. Kong said that a long, long time ago, there was no difference between people and pigs, dogs and animals. Later, many beasts learned to use their vitality, and we humans were no exception. Those beasts that can use vitality are called alien beasts. Shi Ming rolled over.

"But Yuan Qi is very difficult to learn, and only a small number of living beings can learn it. But if you learn to be strong, you will become stronger, and being strong means more food, cleaner water. And our human race is too weak, but fortunately, we have learned to use tools, we can make weapons, we can use fire, we can build cities, we can cooperate to hunt wild beasts. Our territory is getting bigger and bigger. But there are a lot of places that we can't go to, and there is a lot of energy in general. There are unnecessarily powerful beasts living in it, and those places are forbidden areas for our human life. On the top of Luo Qingshan's clouds, there are many powerful beasts, and there is a forbidden area for life, and the beasts that live in Luo Qingshan are called Luo Qing's relics. Shi Ming didn't know if he hadn't spoken for a long time, or if he saw Li Yizhou's painful appearance, and seemed to have changed back into that chattering child.

"They are extremely ferocious, no matter how weak the xenomorphs are, they can kill the strongest men in the village, but they generally don't come down the mountain, because the vitality on the mountain is ......much more abundant" Shi Ming blinked his sour eyes, still maintaining a curled up posture, "Captain Li, do you drink water?"

There was no sound in the room to respond, Li Weizhou was very weak and had fallen asleep.

Shi Ming got up gently, the jar on the stove was still steaming, Shi Ming blew and drank it.

Luo Qingshan's pot of tea refreshed his mind, and Shi Ming's only little sleepiness was gone, but this was exactly the effect Shi Ming wanted.

As long as Shi Ming closes his eyes, he will think of the appearance of the third uncle, as well as those clear blue eyes, which seem to be staring at him all the time, and it seems that he will come out and bite his throat in the next second.

Shi Ming stared at the stove and stabbed it with tongs, and the fire was a little stronger.

Li Weizhou was lying on the grass, and the wound on his body suddenly flashed with a faint cyan vitality, and then rushed to the knife leaning against the corner.

The bracer on Shi Ming's arm shook imperceptibly, but Shi Ming didn't notice all this. Li Weizhou's vitality was slowly absorbed by the knife, and a moment later, most of the vitality in Li Weizhou's body had dissipated.

The men stationed at the entrance to the mine looked back and forth, unaware of the pairs of eyes staring at them in the trees not far away.

"Can you do it, the guards in the mine don't seem to have much. ”

"I've been staring at it for two months, and at the end of every month, the mine sends the coal to the sideline, and usually the mine digs out a lot of coal as a backup. The figure held out a hand and pointed to a pile of coal in the mine, "They used it for their own use, and they didn't get it out." That's enough to get us through this winter. ”

"At the end of the month, as soon as the guards followed the coal caravan, they attacked it, and this place was very remote. There will definitely be no support for a while, and when the time comes, the brothers will pull the coal away, and who knows who did it. ”

"We also arranged eyeliner, and when the time comes, the inside and outside should be combined to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Those people seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and disappeared in an instant, only a large snowflake fell on the tree where they were just now.
