Chapter 102 Entering the mountain is good in the world
A round mirror hung like a full moon at the entrance of the mine, and when Shangguan Zhengtian's group approached, the round mirror slowly lit up, and then dimmed.
"This is where you live. There is someone inside, so go in. The guard who took the lead did not go in, but stepped aside and watched as the crowd slowly entered.
The mine is very large, and this is a scene that Shangguan Zhengtian has never seen before. A huge clearing, dotted with houses of all kinds, very old, barely sheltered from the wind and rain, surrounded by hills, bare, enclosing the place into a basin.
Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the hills, some of the mines were all over the place, and from time to time a team of miners entered and exited the mines; some of them collapsed nearly halfway, and the collapse was full of miners with stone pickaxes.
The men were topless, with whip marks all over them. At this time, although the severe cold has gone, the spring warmth has not come, even if they are not wearing clothes, they are still sweating profusely.
At this time, Shangguan Zhengcai noticed that there were mottled blood stains on the stones on those hills.
"What? It's the first time I've seen such a thing?" Jiang Yan'er leaned over.
"Is it commonplace for you to have such a tone?" Shangguan Zhengtian raised his eyebrows slightly.
You don't have to see it to see it. It's just that what I saw with my own eyes was even more shocking. Jiang Yan'er's tone was inexplicably sentimental.
"All the newcomers, come here!" someone shouted, and the voice was very loud.
Shangguan Zhengtian looked at the person who shouted, his skin was dark, he was covered in a black vest, his muscles were half exposed, and there was a long scar on his face, like a centipede lying on it.
The man had a slender iron whip in his hand, and when he saw that everyone was still in the midst of a noise, he suddenly swung out an explosion, and the scar on his face trembled.
"Give me peace!" the man yelled.
The crowd was much quieter, but there were still people talking.
"My lord, can I go back? I will return the previous commission money to you, please let me go back!"
"I miss my mom, I'm going home. ”
......
Seeing the scene in the mine, arousing the cowardice of everyone, many people had the idea that they would rather beg than stay here.
"Oh, you want to go back, people who want to go back stand here. The swarthy man holding the iron rope smiled and pointed to the side and said.
The crowd was silent for a moment, then there was a whisper from the crowd, and finally five people were squeezed out of it to stand in the clearing.
"You want to go back?" asked the swarthy man again.
"Please be merciful. "There are people who are on their knees and pleading, but they do not want to work here.
"Hehe, if you want to go, you can. The swarthy man dragged his long whip and walked slowly towards the people, pointed to the gate near them, and said, "This gate not only enters but also leaves people." However, most of the people who came out were dead. ”
The man's face showed ferocity, and the chains fell on one of the five, his clothes were torn, blood flowed, and the man fainted with an "ahhhhhhhhh
"Hehe, you want to go, grandpa, I'll fulfill you!" the swarthy man looked hideous, and the iron rope in his hand was raised again, falling towards another woman and child.
"My lord, I'm not leaving. ”
"I'm not leaving, let me go. ”
Several people began to plead, but the hand still did not stop, the sound of the iron rope made people tremble, and the three began to flee, but the swarthy man was obviously extraordinary, and stepped on one of them with one kick, and the iron rope shook and entangled the other person, and then flicked it, and smashed the entangled person to the third person.
"My lord, we don't dare anymore, we won't go back. The three of them hugged each other and trembled, pleading.
"Hey, is there anyone else going back now?" the swarthy man kicked the man at his feet, and looked at the trembling four, he laughed wildly, and every time he looked at these ignorant newcomers, his eyes gradually increased with fear, and his heart was filled with indescribable pleasure.
"Go back. The swarthy man scolded, then looked at the crowd, "Is there anyone else leaving?"
The crowd fell silent.
"Why are you paid so much, now that you have taken the money, stay here now, and whoever wants to get out, I will help you. The swarthy man had a loud voice, and the crowd was so frightened by his methods that they could hear it clearly, without shouting.
"When you get here, if you have an idea, you can come to me, and if you don't, do as I say. The swarthy man paced around the procession, scanning the crowd.
"Men and women stand apart. ”
The crowd began to squirm, and no one wanted to challenge the man's nerves, and it didn't take long for the men's and women's teams to be separated.
"From now on, you two are the captains, and everything in your team is in your charge. The swarthy man pointed at the two at random, the woman was Jiang Yan'er, and the man was the prime of life who had a grudge before.
"Master Xie. The young man hurriedly bent down to thank him.
On the other hand, Jiang Yan'er on the other side didn't move.
However, the swarthy man didn't seem to care at all, and continued to say to himself: "There is no place for you to live in this mine, so you have three days to solve the housing problem, as for food and clothing, there are only materials here, and you can also solve the cooking by yourself, and someone will send the materials later." ”
With that, the swarthy man turned and left.
After taking two steps, he seemed to think of something, turned around and said, "Don't think about running away, they won't be able to see this gate?"
The swarthy man pointed to the people working in the mines in the distance, and left with a sneer.
"Don't mess around, everyone, listen to me. As soon as the swarthy man had left, and the crowd had not yet shaken off their fear of him, the prime man who had just been chosen as the captain of the team hurriedly jumped out.
"My name is Cao Renshuang, and like everyone else, I have seen life here with my own eyes, and I don't want to stay here, but don't forget, this is the mine of the Iron Spear Gate, will they leave no means?"
The young man saw everyone looking at him, and his heart was slightly proud, as long as he was the captain of the team, this mine would definitely have its own place in the future.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Shangguan Zhengtian and Jiang Yan'er, and when he found that neither of them looked at him, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. His face was silent, and he thought to himself: When I consolidate the position of captain and have a good relationship with the people above, I will let the two of you go around without eating!
Although he was ruthless, Cao Renshuang still had a smile on his face, and continued to say to everyone: "We might as well do what he said first, as for the escape, it's better to wait for us to know more before discussing, after all, no one wants to be a pathfinder, right?"
The crowd fell silent.
"I, like everyone else, has no rights except for the false name of a so-called captain, if everyone disagrees with me, even if it is good to leave, don't be dissatisfied with me and cause things not to be done well, so that the person who is angry provokes everyone to be punished together, that will not be good for anyone. ”
Cao Renshuang paused, and when he saw that everyone was no longer talking, he continued: "Since everyone agrees with me, let's build the house first, and no one knows how long we will stay here." ”
At this time, several people were dragging a cart and walking here.
"The things that should have been distributed to us have arrived, and a few brothers will help them together. Cao Renshuang ordered a few people and hurriedly ran to the carts not far away.
"The brothers are tired, let's help push it. Cao Renshuang looked at those people with a smile on his face, and without waiting for those people to react, he directly led a few people who came to help, pulling and pushing, and enthusiastically all the way to everyone.
Regardless of Cao Renshuang's enthusiasm, those people didn't say a word like ice, didn't even take a second look, left the cart, turned around and left.
"Alas, alas, brothers, slow down, I'll send you. Cao Renshuang pressed his waist slightly and moved closer to a few people.
As if they hadn't seen it, those people left coldly, leaving Cao Renshuang with a smile on his face.
"Phew, what's it!"
Looking at the backs of several people who were far away, Cao Renshuang spat out. , scolding, it has been a long time since he has done the thing of hot face and cold ass, he looked at those people hatefully, and silently returned to the crowd.
"Brother Shuang, what are we going to do next?" said a somewhat thin man.
"Let's take a look at these things first. Cao Renshuang took care of everyone.
If there is any kind of biological adaptability in the world, it is human beings. In a short period of time, a group of people has developed their own small group. As soon as Cao Renshuang finished greeting, the centers of their respective groups stepped forward to count the supplies together.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as Shangguan Zhengtian, who never stepped forward, nor did he stand on the sidelines, but just stood so blankly.
He didn't want to waste his time here, but walking around as soon as he arrived here was sure to attract attention.
Although Jiang Yan'er was also named as the captain, there were only seven or eight people beside her.
"Sister Yan'er, what should we do?" A woman who looked similar to Jiang Yan'er had anxiety between her eyebrows, but she didn't know why this anxiety arose.
"I'll go for a while. The men who build houses and houses contribute, and it still depends on us women to cook and do housework. ”
Jiang Yan'er calmed down a few of her companions, glanced at Shangguan Zhengtian, who was still in a daze, and walked towards Cao Renshuang.
Cao Renshuang has been paying attention to Shangguan Zhengtian and Jiang Yan'er, and when he saw Jiang Yan'er walking towards him, he felt a trace of pride in his heart. Jiang Yan'er gradually approached, and finally approached Cao Renshuang, and the corners of Cao Renshuang's mouth had been lifted.
"You can't beat me. Jiang Yan'er attached to Cao Renshuang's ear.
Cao Renshuang's smile disappeared instantly. Jiang Yan'er picked and chose among several board cars, and took all the iron pots away together, and Cao Renshuang's brows jumped There was no way: if she came by herself, she really didn't have to move.
The crowd temporarily took the heart to run away and began to plan for their future. There are barren mountains around, there is no shortage of barren trees, and when everything was planned, Cao Renshuang made a special trip to find the swarthy man and asked for some precautions, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.
"Look at the sky and there has been no rain these days, the big guy is working harder, the roof is not needed first, we will put up the wall, and there will be a shelter from the wind tonight. ”
Cao Renshuang did have some means to lead the team, he took the lead in doing the work, and he never rested, and he was sweating at this time, and many people came to dissuade him.
"I really can't hold on, I'm sorry brothers, I'll take a break first. ”
"Brother Shuang, you have a good rest, just leave the rest to us. ”
Although Cao Renshuang had stopped to rest on the side, everyone was obviously more motivated.
It was getting late, but the camp was basically the size of the camp, there were no mattresses, and everyone slept on hay like livestock.
And just like that, everyone had their first night in the mine.
In the middle of the night, a figure seemed to melt into it, and he stepped out of the camp and walked through the darkness.
"Hehe, Brother Zhou, where are you going?"
