Chapter 328: Karma
In the next two days, Yichen still didn't need to work, just pretending to look at the east and west, and made a look of investigating the case with heart.
Xianxiang was not working, but often glanced at Yichen secretly, looking a little absent-minded.
This qiฤ้ธdust saw it in his eyes and ignored it.
It's the day of gunpowder blasting again, and it's also the last day that Yichen and the foreman agreed upon.
This time, Lao Zhou didn't dare to be lazy anymore, and personally carried more than 100 catties of gunpowder and came to the mining site with everyone.
The three people in charge of blasting were Fat Brother, Xiaofei and Xianxiang, each of whom received more than 30 catties of gunpowder, went to each pre-drilled blast hole, poured the medicine, buried the thread, and then ignited it with a fire fold to prepare for detonation.
The blasting work is more dangerous, once it explodes, there will be countless large and small rubble, flying around, hitting the miners, either dead or injured.
Therefore, before blasting, other miners must enter cover to prevent casualties from being hit by flying rocks.
Demolitionists, on the other hand, budget their escape time and leave a lead long enough to ensure their own safety.
Rumble......
Rumble......
The explosions rang out one after another, and the foreman hiding in the bunker kept silent about the number of explosions.
"Thirty, Thirty-One......"
There are a total of 35 blast holes today, and as long as 35 explosions are heard, everyone can come out of the bunker and continue the cleaning and transportation work.
However, after thirty-one hours, there was a long wait, and the other four blast holes were never heard.
This kind of thing happens from time to time in mining areas, some because the lead is not in good contact, or when ignition, some of the lead is accidentally pulled out, and the gunpowder cannot explode without preheating.
Sometimes, after lighting the fuse, it suddenly rains and extinguishes the fire, making it impossible for it to explode.
According to the jargon, these belong to the squibs, and it takes a long time to wait before they can be determined.
The most dangerous one is that the fire is not extinguished due to the wet lead, but it burns slowly, several times longer than the normal explosion.
If the miners in the bunker can't wait, or run out to check, often encountering an explosion on the way, it can be unpredictable.
The foreman was in the bunker, anxiously waiting, hoping to hear the explosion soon, otherwise the work would be delayed.
There was no movement during the tea time, and half an hour passed, and there was still no sound......
"Fuck, it's a squib again, it's four at once, and I've been waiting for so long. โ
The foreman poked his head out and urged the miners beside him: "It's okay, go out and work..."
In the past, if it does not explode for more than half an hour, it must be a squib, and the blaster needs to check and sort out the gunpowder, reinstall the lead, and detonate it for the second time.
The foreman didn't want an accident, so he deliberately waited a little longer, and only after confirming that it was okay did he start shouting for everyone to come out.
Yichen also hid in the bunker with the miners, but he was fine, it didn't matter if he was early or late, so he lazily watched everyone and walked out of the bunker one after another.
"Danger..."
An inexplicable crisis alerted Yichen, and he rushed to the front of everyone with lightning speed.
Stretching out his palms, he pointed at the foreman and the miners, and shot out quickly...
Call~~
A strong wind, mixed with incomparably strong coercion, instantly caught everyone off guard, staggering and stumbling.
Puff, puff......
Although Yichen only used the battle qi of the five grades of the war general, due to the suddenness of the attack, these people couldn't resist at all, and they fell back into the bunker one by one.
"What are you doing......" The foreman walked in the front, and received the greatest impact, although he was a master of the four grades of the general, he was defenseless, not only was he hit to the ground by Yichen's palm, but also face down.
Pity his nose, how can he beat the ground full of rubble, and in the blink of an eye, his face is bleeding, and he has become a red man.
The foreman, who was annoyed and angry, wanted to scold people casually, but before he could scold, he was gagged in his mouth.
Thundered......
With the roar of the earth-shattering, countless stones whistled in the air, as if they were close to everyone's ears, speeding by.
The gravel smashed on the ore outside the bunker, and the www.biquge.info of the Fun Pavilion ignited sparks, and some fell to the ground, smashing the gravel all over the ground into a half-foot-deep pit.
"Oh my mother...", the curse turned from the foreman's mouth into an exclamation.
In the entire bunker, the number one hundred and ten people understood what was happening, and while secretly rejoicing, they cast their eyes full of gratitude to Yichen.
Although Yichen didn't know what the Squib was talking about, and he didn't know how long the wait was reasonable, when the foreman led everyone out of the bunker, he obviously felt that the crisis was approaching.
After all, his spiritual strength is super strong, and he is even close to or reaches the Cheng dรน of the strong man of the war king, while the foreman's cultivation is not as good as the four grades of the war general, and the miners are even worse.
"Two hundred and eighty-five...... Brother..."The foreman who escaped death, as soon as he was excited, despite the fact that he was covered in blood, forcibly hugged Yichen, and even changed his title from number to brother.
"Uh...... Let go, let go..."
A bloody breath rushed straight to Yichen's head, and he shouted while pulling the start of the work with his hand, but fortunately, the miners did not dare to compete with the foreman for favor, so they did not come to harass him.
Otherwise, no matter how high Yichen's cultivation is, he will not be able to escape the end of being besieged by everyone.
"Brother, I have good news for you, Lord Ding agreed. The foreman blew his nose vigorously, and the gravel dust inside flowed out along with the nosebleed.
At this time, he didn't feel the pain on his face, and grinned happily to 'report' to Yichen.
"Really, thank you then. Yichen finally let go of the foreman's hand, and quickly took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from him.
Everyone waited for a while, and finally cautiously stepped out of the bunker and threw themselves into the clean-up work.
There were also three squibs, which were originally meant to be picked up and inspected one by one, but the holes were full of large and small ores, which were difficult to remove for a while.
In addition, the foreman was frightened and delayed too much, so he decided to work all on the ground for the time being, and wait until tomorrow to inspect the blast hole.
After a hasty dinner, most of the miners chose to go to the sheds to rest.
Only Xianxiang was the only one, and he took leave from the foreman, saying that he would not die in a catastrophe, and that he would rely on Haofeng's blessing, and he must go to the grave to thank him in person.
However, this time, Xianxiang did not go to Haofeng's grave to pay respects, but after leaving everyone's sight, he ran all the way and went directly to the construction site of the outer mining area.
Looking around, convinced that there was no one nearby, Xianxiang bent down and carefully took out a cloth bag in the gap of a huge piece of ore.
"Master......"
After walking back for a while with the cloth bag, Xianxiang covered his mouth with his hand and shouted softly.
"Tap..."A figure flashed in front of Xianxiang, staring at the cloth bag in his hand with stunned eyes.
"Master, there are almost twenty catties of gunpowder here today, plus the last one, it should be more than thirty catties. โ
As soon as Xianxiang saw someone coming, it was his master Yixiao, and he hurriedly handed over the cloth bag in his hand.
"Well, how did you get it?"
Yixiao nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile.
It took less than ten days to assign the task, and Xianxiang actually got the gunpowder so quickly, and it was five or six catties more than the budget.
"Hehe, I'm in charge of thirteen blast holes, three of which are empty, not a single piece of gunpowder is released, and each of the others has a pound of gunpowder deducted. โ
It turned out that the three unexploded cannons were not real squibs at all, but Xianxiang deliberately did it, and the absence of gunpowder was actually a dead cannon, and it would never explode.
"Didn't you check it?" Yi Xiao was also a blaster, but the central mine area was more tightly controlled, and he didn't have the opportunity or the courage to shoot gunpowder.
However, the rules of the mining area are basically the same, the squib must be checked, and then re-detonated, even if the gunpowder withheld by Xianxiang can be fooled, the three empty cannon holes, as long as they are opened, will be exposed, and there is no reason to escape inspection.
"This simple ......" was also puzzled, Xianxiang was very proud, and the reason for the fluttering eyebrows fluttered.
In order to avoid inspection, he connected the three empty gun holes, plus another one, all together, and spat at each joint, so that the gunpowder in the leads was moist, delaying the speed of the fuse's burning, but not extinguishing the fire.
As a result, the last shot exploded so long that it almost killed so many miners that even the foreman didn't have the heart to have it checked.
I have to say that Yixiao, as a master, was also impressed by Xianxiang's ingenuity, and he was ashamed of himself.
Looking around, Yi Xiao didn't find Haofeng, so he asked casually: "What about Haofeng's kid?"
"Dead. Xianxiang said disapprehantly.
"Dead, what's going on?" Yixiao had a premonition that things weren't that simple, and asked.
"This kid almost broke something big. โ
Xianxiang intervened in this matter with Yichen, and asked Haofeng behind his back, as well as the fact that he used his work to deliberately put down the boulder and smash Haofeng to death, and roughly said it.
"Are you sure you didn't show up?"
"Absolutely not..."
"That's good, you and I will take out the gunpowder from the last burial mountain. โ
Xianxiang's affirmative tone seemed to put Yixiao at ease.
The master and apprentice quietly came to the vicinity of the hillside, Xianxiang looked at the wind, and Yixiao started to dig up the gravel and dig out the fifteen catties of gunpowder that he had buried with his own hands.
"Xianxiang, come over and fill in the pit so that no one will be suspicious. When he got the gunpowder, Yixiao screamed.
When Xianxiang heard this, he felt that the master was right, such a big pit could be seen from afar, and it was indeed easy to attract people's attention, so he bent down and prepared to dig and fill the pit.
Suddenly, a gust of wind hit the back of Xianxiang's head, and before he could react, his head was hit violently, and the whole person was like a stake, planted into the pit with a pop.
Just when Xianxiang was ignorant, a gloomy voice came out of Yixiao's mouth:
"Hehe, you just stay here with Haofeng. โ
