Chapter 3: The New Life of the Mine Serf

The next day, Liu Hai woke everyone up early, everyone tidied up themselves, went to the well outside to wash their faces, everyone came here yesterday to wash themselves, Gu Xiaowu was no exception, no matter if it was dirty and cold, he drank a few sips, fortunately, he didn't have diarrhea, he must not get sick here. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info When everyone came to the entrance of the mine early, they found that a large number of people had arrived in front of them, and Liu Hai couldn't help but glance at Xiao Wu coldly, if he hadn't wasted time at the well, they would have arrived early. It is very important to pick a mine with good conditions, some of which can find ore quickly, and some of which may not necessarily have ore after going to the end. By the time they had entered the main road from the entrance of the mine, and had walked for a quarter of an hour to a large cave hall with more than ten outlets, the gray-clothed boy had already stood there with a heavy face, looked at them, and threw ten bags to the ground. "Go to the forty-fifth hole," a cold voice sounded. Each of them picked up a bag on the ground, and under the leadership of Liu Hai, ten people hurried to the side of the tunnel wall and picked up a hoe that emitted white light. Gu Xiaowu followed Liu Hai and the others, looked at the glowing hoe in his hand, and then looked at the glowing stone inlaid on the top of the tunnel, and found that he was so ignorant, how many novelties in this world could not be imagined by himself?

"What do you think? Don't hurry up, although the condition of the 45th mine is okay, it will take a long time to find the ore. I didn't expect this time to assign a tunnel, or the first time, maybe there are too few people who came back this time, the last time I came more than a thousand, but more than half of them died in three years, this time it's good, I hope to find the ore as soon as possible. The bag also gave dry food, and it seems that it can really survive for five years....... Bangs babbled a lot of precautions under the pit in front.

Gu Xiaowu didn't hear it anymore, because he had already concentrated on dealing with a small bun in the cloth bag, chewing the coarse grain in his mouth carefully, although this piece was not enough, but it could also satisfy his hunger, hoping to dig the ore in half a day.

There is a glowing hoe in his hand, although it is darker and darker the further he goes, but he is still slowly getting used to it. It took me a stick of incense to reach the entrance of a mine cave with forty-five engraved on the top, and the road was not so smooth when entering it, and I turned left and right from time to time. The ground was wet, and the air was getting colder and colder. After walking for nearly an hour or so, there was no one to make any more noise. Suddenly, the bangs in front stopped, picked up the hoe in his hand as a torch and shone on the stone wall next to him, and soon found a place not far away that had been marked before, this place was at least three or four times wider than the passage, and could accommodate about ten people to advance side by side in the circular hall, and more than a dozen holes appeared around the front at once, but each was narrow enough to allow only two people to pass through.

"Okay, there may be ore from here, the tunnels here are all mined by the predecessors, let's choose one by ourselves, pay attention to when the light of the hoe turns red, you must go back, otherwise you can't reach the ground The hoe will not shine, and then you can only wait for death, many people have forgotten the time and died in it. As he spoke, he chose a hole and poked into it.

Gu Xiaowu watched the others also enter a cave with impatience, and he first took a hoe as a torch to take a picture of the surrounding scenery, all gray stones, which were different from the surface color of the mountain outside, fortunately, it should be easier to find ore in this way, he also chose an unmanned mine to drill in.

The road is hard, and that's the first thought he shares with the others. Because the downward angle became larger, Gu Xiaowu felt a little that if he didn't support it with a hoe, it was likely that he would fall directly below, and he didn't know how deep. Boldly walked in for half an hour, while walking in his heart muttering that death is death, death is death and death has been moving forward, when he saw that there was no way out, the front was an uneven side, the stone on this side was obviously different from the stones on other sides, with a hoe, a piece of stone of different shapes exuded a black and purple luster inlaid in the middle of the gray stone, found, knocked hard with a hoe, did not move, knocked on the gray stone for a long time before falling a little, he estimated that he may not be able to knock out a few such stones in an hour。 But when I thought that a bag of stones could only be exchanged for a day's food, and yesterday Liu Hai spent half a day constantly saying that you could not get food without labor, and that you could only get rewards if you worked, I was extremely patient and earnestly picked up the hoe, thinking that only one hand could exert all the strength, and although the left hand was healed, it had not been treated with bones, and had been abolished, and I could not take anything too heavy, so I could only press my wrist and my right hand to exert force together.

Just when the people were working hard in the underground mine, two people were talking about something in a hundred-meter-high stone room in the valley, "Senior Brother Yu, is it appropriate to disperse them, if something goes wrong, it is not good to disperse the manpower." It used to be a mine for 50 people. ”

"It doesn't matter, this time it's just to probe the situation of all the mines, and in the past two nights, I have used the Dream Seal Charm on them, and it won't be long before they will become tools that can only work, and they will not resist or be lazy. ”

"What, Senior Brother has learned the Dream Seal Spiritual Charm Mantra, and Senior Brother's cultivation has improved again?" the young man surnamed Tong hurriedly asked. The boy surnamed Yu said proudly: "I have entered the early stage of consolidating the foundation a month ago, and I can only use the beamsplitter. The boy surnamed Yu looked at the boy surnamed with envy on his face and said again.

"Although you are older than me, I started three years earlier than you, and you have just started for more than two years, and you have already cultivated to the seventh layer of qi induction, and entering the solid foundation is just around the corner. The boy just smiled and talked about something else.

When Gu Xiaowu was picking up a piece of black ore, the light in his hand flashed and turned red, and his heart tightened when he saw it, and he quickly put the ore in his hand into the cloth bag, and now there is a small half bag in it. He didn't dare to think about anything else, so he hurried back. Only now did he realize that it was even more difficult to go back than when he came, and he didn't have much strength to move forward, but he gritted his teeth and slowly crawled out in order to survive. When they reached the big circular hole, they didn't find anyone else, and they didn't care, maybe they had already gone out, and walked the way they came.

When the light of the hoe was getting dimmer and dimmer, he finally came to the entrance of the main mine, and when he saw the gray-clothed young man sitting there cross-legged, he hurriedly sent the ore in his hand over. The young man in gray looked at it, took the stone away in a flash, and threw the empty bag and two bamboo sticks back. Gu Xiaowu took the empty bag and bamboo sticks and looked at them, and saw that the gray-clothed young man had been expressionlessly closing his eyes. Liu Hai had already told him that a bamboo skewer was a meal, so he hurriedly took the bamboo skewer and ran to the place where he received the food. When Gao happily led the two coarse grain flatbreads back to the wooden house, he saw that the others were all there, and chatted about something while it was still dark. When he came in, a more enthusiastic eldest brother said, "Xiao Wu is back, we thought you were worried about the wrong time, can you get food?"

"I got two flatbreads, hehe" Because I don't have to worry about being snatched away, Gu Xiaowu said happily.

"We all received three, why did you only receive two, did someone rob you?" asked Brother Enthusiasm again.

"Impossible, he must not have dug up a bag of stones and was detained, it was really lucky, he didn't give a bag of food before, otherwise there wouldn't be so many clansmen......" Liu Hai said with red eyes for some reason, and the latter words were even more choked.

Gu Xiaowu didn't care about the weird bangs, he lay down on the plank bed and slowly ate the flatbread in his hand, listening to several other people tell their experiences, everyone seemed to be very lucky, easily found the ore and brought it back when the hoe light dimmed. After he finished eating a flatbread in his hand, thinking that the enthusiastic brother had quietly told him just now to keep some for tomorrow's dry food, and he would not give them dry food tomorrow, he quietly tore the flatbread that he had just bitten into small pieces and put it in a cloth bag and held it in his arms, slowly waiting to fall asleep. The people in the room have stopped talking, and today everyone is obviously very excited, full of hope for life, and five years can be passed.

Gu Xiaowu also slowly fell asleep with such and such thoughts, in the dream he seemed to hear someone in his ear keep saying that as long as you follow the instructions of the immortals, you can get food for your labor, and as long as you dig enough bags of ore, you can get a day's food and more benefits. In his sleep, his brows furrowed deeply, as if he was enduring some kind of pain, and no one noticed that the jade pendant in his arms exuded a different kind of soft light and penetrated into Gu Xiaowu's body along the tightly clinging belly.

In the following days, they all got up early, took the dry food cloth bag to the entrance of the cave to get the glowing hoe, and followed the bangs to the designated mine to mine, as if such a day would become a habit of people's life. In the first three days, ten people except for Gu Xiaowu could mine a bag, and there was a person in the back of the mine tunnel, so they had to choose another mine or continue to explore further along the original mine. Choosing another cave is bearable, but exploring from a new cave is not something for people like them. The situation in Cave 45 is better, although there are some people who cannot complete the "task", but everyone has gained something, and there have been no "unpleasant" things.

Mining-eating-sleeping-mining-eating-sleeping, people are starting to have only these thoughts in their heads. They no longer care about the people and things around them, and even if there are no people around them, they won't be noticed in the slightest. In fact, in the past ten days, dozens of people have disappeared in front of people's eyes, but it has not caused much waves, and people have focused all their attention on the "harvest" that can be obtained as long as they work hard.

Gu Xiaowuben had the idea of living one day at a time and earning one day, but he didn't notice the difference between the people around him. The people around are afraid of the punishment of the immortals, not many people dare to "go to the door" to pass the news in private, and no one cares about a teenager, his meal tomorrow has not been completed, so take away the sympathy. Xiao Wu didn't have much spare time to find out what news, silently thinking about the past, thinking about mining, and from time to time he would have a dream of being a god.
