Chapter 234: The Mine

Hours, in the blink of an eye.

At midnight, the area where the displaced people gathered was much quieter, and most of the people were already asleep at this time, and of course there were some miscellaneous sounds.

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu were both awake, waiting for the agreed meeting time.

The dark moon is in the sky.

Yamahara Xu confirmed the time, then looked at Dongfang Yunyang, and said softly: "Yunyang, the time is almost up, let's go over." ”

Dongfang Yunyang immediately nodded.

Then, the two did not hesitate any longer, got up one after another, and then headed towards the meeting place.

During the journey, Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu were very careful, soft-footed, and naturally didn't want to attract anyone's attention.

Soon, the two arrived at the agreed location of the third squad.

The captain Ishikawa Kazuka has arrived, and she came over in advance, as for Miyahara Xiang and Cangshui, they haven't come over yet.

Ishikawa saw Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara coming, nodded, and then motioned for the two to sit down next to her.

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu immediately sat up.

Ishikawa Kayaka said: "Cangshui and Miyahara Xiang haven't arrived yet, let's wait a while." ”

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu nodded one after another.

A few minutes later, Cangshui and Miyahara walked over and quickly sat down.

Ishikawa Kayaka glanced at the members of the third team, and then said softly: "Okay, it's all here, let's sort out the information we got today, and you can talk about your own situation first." ”

Cang Shui was the first to speak, today he and Miyahara Xiang were not separated, they were taken by the soldiers to a large processing workshop on the edge of the town, and the group of people they joined was mainly engaged in ore smelting.

In the process of ore smelting, Cangshui also found a lot of information, the smelting is mainly iron ore, which is used to produce various weapons, and those ores are transported from the mine not far outside the city.

Cangshui will get all kinds of information and tell them one by one.

Captain Ishikawa Kayaka nodded slightly, he took out a scroll and wrote down some of the useful information, then looked at Miyahara Ka and asked, "Miyahara Ka, do you have any additional information?"

Miyahara Xiang shook her head slightly, today she was basically with Cang Shui.

Ishikawa then looked at Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu and asked, "How are you doing?"

Yamahara Xu immediately replied: "Today I am separated from Yunyang, I went to a military school field in the city, mainly to clean and take care of it, I have basically figured out the situation of that school field, it is considered a good harvest, that school field is located in the east of the city ......"

Soon, Yamahara told all the information he had obtained.

Ishikawa recorded it.

Immediately afterwards, Dongfang Yunyang also gave a detailed account of his information in the Mist Workshop.

After Dongfang Yunyang finished speaking, Ishikawa Kayaka also told him a thing or two about the information he obtained, and finally he put away the scroll, nodded slightly towards Dongfang Yunyang and Cangshui, and said at the same time: "Today's harvest is not bad, we have obtained a lot of information, as for tomorrow, we still need to continue to work hard, and strive to find out the situation of this town as soon as possible." ”

Cangshui and Yamahara nodded one after another.

Afterwards, the third team discussed their plans and arrangements for tomorrow.

However, the discussion time of several people was not long, and it was only ten minutes before and after.

The discussion was over, and the five were soon separated again.

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu left together to find an empty location.

The two quickly sat down to rest, waiting for tomorrow's morning light.

Early the next morning, Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu blended into the crowd of displaced people waiting for food and work.

Soon, several groups of soldiers came with food.

Dongfang Yunyang found the group of soldiers who took him to the weapon workshop with the other homeless people yesterday, and the leader was still the middle-aged non-commissioned officer.

However, Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu did not come over today.

According to the information previously known, the soldiers recruited should be working in the weapons workshop, and the situation there has basically been inquired, so there is no need to go again.

Therefore, when the two saw the group of soldiers, they left early.

Soon after, Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu got together among the other refugees.

There was a large group of soldiers, more than thirty men, and according to the non-commissioned officer at the head, they needed to recruit more than two hundred.

In terms of selecting personnel, the non-commissioned officer was very casual, except for some who were too old and didn't want to, basically accepted everything else.

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu were also recruited.

After receiving a rough breakfast, the two of them followed the army of displaced people and got into the carriage.

The carriage was open, and there were more than 20 people on one cart, which was very crowded.

There were a dozen wagons in total, heading in the direction of the outside of the city, and according to the information revealed by the non-commissioned officer before, they needed to go to work in a place outside the city.

With the exception of a dozen wagons, the soldier was heavily armed and rode a war horse.

Soon after, the convoy left the south gate of the city and then drove quickly towards a hill not far away.

After driving out of the city for about twenty minutes, Dongfang Yunyang and his party were taken to the foot of a small hill, at the foot of which there were some simple buildings, and many places were piled up with black stones, and there were three holes under the hill.

Dongfang Yunyang took a few glances, but he could judge that this should be a mine.

More than 200 people quickly got out of the carriage, and at the request of the soldiers, they arrived at a leveled place not far from the mine.

There were quite a few armed men waiting, led by a burly man with an open chest.

The burly man was injured and grabbed the long whip, looking at the many homeless people who had gathered, the corners of his mouth showed a slight playful smile, and then he suddenly pulled out the whip in his hand.

"Smack......

The whip slammed into the stone ground not far in front of the burly man.

The burly man immediately made a deep voice: "Welcome to the Chengnan Mine, I am the person in charge here, since you have all come here, I will first tell you the rules here, lest I not remind you later, first, I have the final say in this mine, I will let you do whatever you want, and those who violate it will be given twenty lashes......;

The burly man said more than a dozen rules in a row, almost every one of which carried a punishment, which showed that the work in this mine was very severe.

After the ten rules were spoken, the burly man then explained the work of the mine, which gave the displaced people a very simple job, which was all physical activities, such as entering the mine to mine, carrying ore, and so on.

After a brief explanation of the work, the burly man immediately began to assign the relevant work.

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu were assigned to the work of transporting ore, and there were not many people responsible for transporting ore, there were always more than 30 people, and each person was given a basket.

The back basket is not small, and it is used to carry ore.

At the end of the assignment, the burly man and the many overseers with long whips began their tasks.

More than 30 porters, including Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu, were divided into three teams, with more than 10 people in each team, responsible for the ore handling task of a mine.

More than 200 displaced people were almost evenly distributed in different mines.

Dongfang Yunyang and Yamahara Xu were assigned to different mines, of which Dongfang Yunyang was in the No. 1 Mine Cave Team, and Yamahara Xu was in the No. 3 Mine Cave Team.

Soon, Dongfang Yunyang followed the important task of assigning the No. 1 mine to the mine and walked into the mine.

The mine is a bit deep, and apparently has been developed before.

The environment inside the cave is very simple, dark and damp.

The people in charge of the mining soon got to work, only to see them waving their tools one by one and starting to slam them violently.

"Bang, bang......"

The mine immediately became noisy.

More than a dozen overseers wandered around the mining area, and from time to time they could hear the sound of whipping, which was a warning and reminder to the mining community.

The overseers drew their long whips and armed with weapons around their waists.

Dongfang Yunyang and more than a dozen ore porters were also quickly busy, and the ore was loaded into the back basket, and then they carried it out.

The ore in the back basket is actually not light, almost every basket has about 100 catties, for ordinary people, it is a lot of physical work to continue to carry more than 100 catties of heavy objects, it may be relatively easy at the beginning, but with the consumption of physical strength is different.

However, carrying about 100 catties of ore is not a challenge for Dongfang Yunyang, although he doesn't look strong, but he is a ninja after all, and his physical condition is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so he can take it as a small training.

Of course, Dongfang Yunyang did not have a conspicuous performance when carrying ores, and he could only be regarded as a medium level among more than ten people who were absent from handling work, and he deliberately showed some tiredness from time to time, so he naturally didn't want to attract any unnecessary attention.

In addition, in the process of transporting ore, he also carefully observed the situation of the mine.

In fact, there is still a lot of information about this mine, such as the ore produced, the output, and so on.

A few hours flew by.

Both the miners and the porters almost all showed a state of exhaustion, after all, they were all in continuous high-intensity work, and the sound of whips sounded from time to time, and screams were heard, obviously someone was punished.

Faced with the threat of whips from the overseers, everyone had to work hard.

At noon, the person in charge of the mine stopped the people to rest for half an hour, and gave them a bowl of gruel and a flatbread to each of them.

Compared with other jobs, this mine has more food, and three meals will be provided before and after, after all, absenteeism is engaged in physical exertion, and if it is in a state of continuous hunger, it will affect the effectiveness of the work.

After lunch, everyone sat down together and rested for a while, and then continued their work in the mine.

Dongfang Yunyang also restarted the ore handling work.

Time passes quickly.

Before you know it, two hours have flown by.

"Boom ......"

Just as Dongfang Yunyang was carrying a basket of ore out of the No. 1 mine, there was a sudden tremor on the ground, and then only a rumbling sound was heard from the No. 3 mine.

Dongfang Yunyang's face changed slightly, and he immediately looked at the No. 3 mine.

Something seems to have happened to Cave Three.

Soon, several people ran out of the No. 3 mine in a panic, and one of them shouted in panic: "Collapsed, the mine is ruined......"

A trace of worry appeared on Dongfang Yunyang's face, Yamahara Xu can carry the team in the No. 3 Mine Cave, the collapse of the mine can be big or small, even if Yamahara Xu is a recognizer, much stronger than ordinary people, but there is also the possibility of danger.

For a moment, the entire mine was alarmed.

The burly man in charge of the mine immediately went to the outside of the No. 3 mine, and then inquired about the situation in the mine, and after understanding the situation, he was slightly relieved that the inside of the mine was not completely collapsed, but one of the locations collapsed due to careless mining.

Subsequently, the burly man immediately organized people to go to the No. 3 mine to rescue.

However, instead of entering the mine, he sent someone in, and it was clear that he was still worried about the situation in Cave 3.

Dongfang Yunyang and nearly 20 displaced people were immediately requisitioned into the No. 3 mine.

Soon, the group entered the mine.

Dongfang Yunyang was slightly helpless, this kind of thing could not be objected to, unless he didn't care about the exposure of his identity, so he followed him into the No. 3 mine.

In a few moments, everyone had arrived at the collapsed mine.

The mine was small, but most of the area had collapsed, and there was still a lot of blood on the ground, and it was clear that someone had been crushed underneath the collapsed stones.

Before Dongfang Yunyang entered the mine, he saw Yamahara Xu, who was helping to carry the collapsed stones, and he was a lot relieved to see that Yamahara was safe and sound.

Soon, Dongfang Yunyang and others, who came to support, joined the rescue.

With the help of everyone, the collapsed ore was basically cleaned up, and there were originally more than a dozen people working in the mine, but only two or three people escaped smoothly after the accident, while the others were crushed by the collapsed stones, eight people were stoned to death, and several others were injured.

The corpses and injured absentees were carried out of Cave 3.

The person in charge of the mine was very rude in the handling of the bodies of the displaced people, and directly asked the bodies to be carried to a place not far from the mine and buried them hastily.

Similar accidents have occasionally been found in the mine, where no less than 100 people have been buried.

As for the injured absenteeism, the person in charge of the mine was also very simple, and asked people to treat the wound simply, and then it was cold to the side.

In the evening, Dongfang Yunyang and the others finished their work, and the mine gave everyone some food, and then arranged a carriage to send everyone back to the town, and those injured absentees were also sent to the carriage, and they only had more food than the others.

Eventually, the carriage arrived at the area where the displaced people had set out in the morning.

Dongfang Yunyang and the others were immediately driven out of the car, and then saw those carriages driving away.
