The old was greedy and attracted trouble, and he didn't earn a single gold coin, but lost five hundred and three. His head was swollen, his tongue was wounded, and he was scared half to death.

This is too wrong, but who can blame it?

It's not good to provoke anyone, the old dared to provoke Yichen, was invisibly returned by Yichen, took away the money bag, and was kicked by the foreman for a while, which was simply unlucky.

Yichen flipped the two money bags in his hand, put them in his arms, whistled, and left the entrance.

After such a toss, when Yichen arrived at the third team in the outer mining area, it was already dark.

From the old janitor, who received the humiliation, to the shack, most of the miners, who had worked all day, had already laid down to rest.

The management of the General's Mansion is really unusual, even the sleeping beds are arranged in an orderly manner according to the number, one radish and one pit.

Bed No. 285, in the inner part of the shed, along the door of the row of bunks, one by one, near the end, is the location of Yichen.

Looking at the number at the head of the bed, Yichen was sure that he had made a mistake, and let go of the humiliation, but found that there were people on the bed, and there were two.

The one in the aisle was fatter, and the one inside was a little thinner, but at least two laps larger than Yichen.

These two slept in a different position from the other miners, sleeping horizontally, with their heads and feet occupying three bunks each, and Yichen's in the middle.

"Hey, get up, let's get up, this is my bed. Yichen pushed the fat man and shouted softly.

Although there were still a few people lying on the bed in the shed, looking at Yichen, with indifferent expressions and no enthusiasm at all, the two people around them were sleeping soundly and did not react to Yichen's shouts at all.

"Wake up. Yichen pushed again, and his strength was a little stronger, but it was still useless.

"Get up..."It seems that this guy is sleeping too hard, and he has to shout loudly.

"Who?" there was a reaction now, and it was very big, but the one on the outside didn't move, but the one on the inside.

As if suddenly frightened, he sat up, opened his eyes, and looked around blankly.

Seeing that Yichen was pushing the fat man, as if it had nothing to do with him, he lay down again, ready to continue sleeping.

"Hey, man, you've taken my place. Seeing that sleepy-eyed, Yichen was patient and reminded.

"Oh, you're new here?" casually responded, turned over, thought about it, felt that something was wrong, and sat up again: "It's been empty here, we're used to it, let's go." ”

"Fat brother, get up and give way. screamed but didn't respond, so he scratched the soles of the fat brother's feet.

"Xiaofei, what are you doing?" This is quite bright, the fat brother shrank his feet and woke up.

Seeing Yichen standing aside and waiting, he quickly lay back to his bunk, Xiaofei smiled at Yichen embarrassedly, which was regarded as a greeting.

When the two of them returned to their respective positions, Yichen was dumbfounded, there were fat people on both sides, no matter how he lay down, the bed of No. 285 was only half of the position left.

Inside the shed is a large shop, probably the number of miners is relatively large, the number is very close, each person is only two feet wide, but the length is more than seven feet.

Yichen leaned sideways, barely squeezing in the gap, but couldn't move at all.

A few miners next to him, who hadn't slept yet, couldn't help but laugh when they saw Yichen sandwiched between the two fat men, looking like a wolf.

"Well, it's not enough to tell them to sleep on their sides. A childish worker on the opposite side kindly reminded Yichen.

"Haofeng, what's the matter, sleep...", an impatient voice sounded beside him, and then someone pulled him.

Yichen nodded at the one named Haofeng, which was regarded as a thank you, but even if these two guys were allowed to sleep on their sides, the position was not necessarily much bigger, and in that case, the three of them would not be able to sleep.

As a last resort, I had to wake up the fat brother and Xiaofei again, and simply returned to the same as before, sleeping sideways, but it was more than a foot wider, although it was not very loose, but it would not be unable to move.

Tick Bell Bell Bell ......

Before dawn, Yichen was woken up by a hurried ringtone.

"It's work, it's work," everyone reluctantly got up from their bunks under the constant shouting of the foreman.

"I know that I am urging and I am tired to death. ”

"Be careful these days, the foreman has a fire in his heart. ”

"Hurry up, don't provoke him......"

The miners muttered as they walked out in a daze.

"Twenty-eighty-six, what the fuck did you hand over to the warehouse last night?"

As soon as he got out of the shed, No. 286, that is, the fat brother, was kicked by the foreman.

"Gunpowder, what's wrong with the remaining fifteen pounds of gunpowder?"

The fat brother rubbed his ass and said blankly.

"Old Zhou, you bring it and show it to him. The foreman yelled behind him.

"It's not gunpowder at all, it's loess. Lao Zhou threw over a bag with oiled paper in it, and said angrily:

"I think 286 is honest, he handed it over a few times last time, and he didn't check it last night, who knows that he was deceived. ”

In the General's Mansion mining area, the method of mining stones is relatively advanced, using a sledgehammer to drill an eye in the cliff, burying a certain amount of gunpowder, and then detonating.

The blasted ore is towed to the yard for a while, where it is transported to the smelter for processing, refined into semi-finished products such as crude steel, and then sold.

There are also large pieces that can be manually broken through guò, and after being broken, they are dragged to the yard.

If the ore is too large, continue to drill and blast until it can be operated manually.

Generally, the ore blasted once can be used for miners to work for about five days.

Due to the uncertainty of the blasting, the amount of gunpowder consumed at each time was unpredictable. On the day when blasting is required, the warehouse sends a special person to transport the gunpowder to the construction site in the mining area.

Before finishing work in the evening, the remaining gunpowder used for the day is taken back to the warehouse and registered.

Gunpowder is a very valuable material, and the general management is very strict, and the miners determine the amount of gunpowder buried in the blasting process according to the actual situation, which must be completed under the supervision of the management personnel.

With the exception of the Demoman, no other miner had access to gunpowder, and anyone who came near it was often severely beaten or even killed.

Fat Brother is a Demoman, and he can only use gunpowder at a specific time and place, and he should also stay away from it in normal times.

And he is a notoriously honest man, and he works diligently, as long as the foreman calls, he never complains about doing more.

Some time ago, Lao Zhou was sick and asked for leave, and the foreman asked the fat brother to bring the remaining gunpowder back to the warehouse to pay the account.

When Lao Zhou recovered from his illness, he found that the fat brother was very obedient and steady, so he had the idea of being lazy.

Several times in a row, Lao Zhou sent the gunpowder to the scene, found an opportunity to explain to the fat brother, and slipped away.

Every time the fat brother readily agreed, and he never went on a business trip, the foreman turned a blind eye and did not interfere.

At the end of work yesterday, there were fifteen catties of gunpowder left, which were also brought back to the warehouse by the fat brother.

Lao Zhou didn't check it at that time, but just asked the fat brother to put the bag in a corner of the warehouse, and the handover was completed.

Until just now, Lao Zhou suddenly remembered that the gunpowder handed back by the fat brother had not been booked, so he ran to the warehouse to get the account book, and carried the gunpowder bag in his hand, but he felt that something was wrong.

Fifteen catties of gunpowder could not be as much as half a bag, and the weight was more than twenty catties.

An ominous premonition made Lao Zhou nervous, and he quickly opened the bag, and when he saw it, he was dumbfounded.

The bag is full of earthy yellow dry soil scraps, how can there be any gunpowder, Lao Zhou rubbed his eyes and looked again, yes, the gunpowder is black powder, it can't be earthy yellow.

This frightened him, fifteen catties of gunpowder, and a lifetime's salary is not enough to compensate, not to mention that the General's Mansion attaches great importance to gunpowder.

Lao Zhou's predecessor, because of a moment of greed, stole five catties of gunpowder and sold it to a mercenary. At the end of the month, it was found that not only had the entire family property been compensated, but also a leg was broken, and he is still begging along the street.

This fifteen-pound deficit, if it is investigated, I am afraid that Lao Zhou's life will have to be put into it.

"Impossible... I didn't do it. ”

The fat brother kneaded the loess in the bag with his hands, and sniffed it with his nose for a long time, but still did not find gunpowder.

The smell of gunpowder, the fat brother knew as soon as he smelled it, the bag was indeed full of loess, and there was no shadow of gunpowder at all.

"You didn't do it, could it be me? Look at the bag. ”

This matter is related to his own life and death, how can Lao Zhou bear it.

"The bag is right, it's the one I took yesterday, but it's not the right thing. ”

The fat brother looked at the bag, turned back to the foreman and said, "We have seen it together, fifteen catties is still what you said, it can't be loess." ”

"Nonsense, when it was given to you, of course, it was fifteen catties of gunpowder, and the question was how did it turn into loess now, where did you hide the gunpowder?"

This sentence came out of the foreman's mouth, which was equivalent to confirming the fat brother's crime.

In fact, the foreman also wondered, this thing is a bit strange, the fat brother is tired for a day, and he has to carry a gunpowder bag and walk more than ten miles of mountain roads, that is, he is not willing to do it without anyone.

Most of the time, the fat brother has brought forty or fifty catties of gunpowder, but there has been no problem, if you really want to adjust the bag, why bother looking for the least one.

Regarding this point, the foreman knew in his heart that this thing would definitely not be done by the fat brother, but the problem was that someone had to bear it if something happened.

Although he is a foreman, he can't afford to lose his head.

And Lao Zhou, who has the experience of the previous car when his leg was broken, it stands to reason that he will not guard and steal, but the responsibility mainly comes from him.

If it weren't for bullying the fat brother to speak honestly, this incident would not have happened, at least the crime of dereliction of duty cannot be shirked.

The key is that this Lao Zhou has a bit of a background, he is the cousin of Ding Yuqiang, the deputy commander of the General's Mansion, a small foreman, so try not to provoke.

It's weird, the matter still has to be solved, even if it's a black cauldron, you have to find someone to carry it, otherwise it will be a big trouble, and your own foreman will be finished.

At present, there are three people involved, the foreman, the fat brother, and Lao Zhou.

It is impossible for the foreman to carry this black pot himself, and Lao Zhou can't have a backer.

That can only be the fat brother, okay, that's it...
