Chapter 53: Fortune and Misfortune Are Unexpected
When Zhao Yuanbai found that one of the cages was holding people from Sunjiazhuang who he knew well, he immediately ran forward with some excitement and broke the lock of the cage with a gun.
"Yuanbai, why are you here, what about those Drifting Mountain Thieves?" Sun Ming and Er Niu saw that Zhao Yuanbai's originally lifeless face changed, and they stood up excitedly and said.
"Don't worry, the Wandering Mountain Bandits have been wiped out by me and my two good brothers, and they will no longer exist from now on, how can you be locked up here?
Zhao Yuanbai said in a very flat tone, as if he had just done a small thing, and when everyone who was locked up here heard it, they all stared at their eyes full of shock and disbelief.
However, the people who have been locked up here for a long time know the importance of this place to the Liushan thieves, and they didn't see that Muyang and the three were escorted in, so they gradually accepted what Zhao Yuanbai said.
"Yuanbai, have you really eliminated all the Drifting Mountain Thieves?" Although he no longer doubted what Zhao Yuanbai said, Erniu, who was related to him, couldn't help but ask for verification.
"Brother Erniu, don't worry. It's really okay, everyone can go home!"
After receiving another affirmative answer, the not very large space suddenly erupted in wanton roars and cries of joy.
"Great, great, great! Yuan Bai do you know, since we fell into the clutches of the Flowing Mountain Thieves, we have been tortured, every day we have to dig endless stones in this damn hole, but the rest time is only less than two hours, the slightest resistance is a beating, Uncle Sun Ming and several ancient warriors in the other villages were also injured by the thief called Liu Feng, and the cultivation was greatly damaged, everyone was almost unable to hold on, this is not a human life at all. ”
The tall and burly Erniu pinched Zhao Yuanbai's shoulders tightly with red eyes, and was already crying like a child at this time.
Zhao Yuanbai patted Erniu's shoulder to show comfort, and looked at Sun Ming, who usually took care of his family.
In his impression, Sun Ming, who was originally strong and hearty, was pale and embarrassed at this time, his black hair had turned half white in this month, and his body looked much thinner, and he no longer had the demeanor of the past.
"Hehe, it's okay, my old bones can't die yet, don't worry too much, the others are still suffering in the cave, we have to tell them the good news quickly." ”
Seeing that Zhao Yuanbai's eyes were also red, Sun Ming waved his hand freely and comforted the other party, but the trace of loneliness between his eyebrows and eyes was always difficult to dissipate.
"Uncle Sun Ming, Brother Erniu said that everyone was secretly imprisoned by the Drifting Mountain Thieves to dig stones here, what kind of stones are so valued by the Drifting Mountain Thieves?"
After releasing everyone, Mu Yang stepped forward and asked the biggest doubt in his heart.
"I don't know who this young man is?" Looking at Mu Yang, Sun Ming subconsciously looked at Zhao Yuanbai.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce it. This is Mu Yang, and the fat man is called Mo Xiaoqi, they are all my good brothers, thanks to them to exterminate the Liushan thieves, Mu Yang even killed that Cheng Hu with his own hands and saved the entire Sunjiazhuang. ”
Hearing Zhao Yuanbai's words and looking at Mu Yang who was so young in front of him, the eyes of everyone in the audience looking at Mu Yang and Mo Xiaoqi were full of surprise and deep respect.
"Mu Shaoxia, Mo Shaoxia. The kindness of the two Sun Ming is remembered in his heart, please accept my worship!"
Sun Ming stretched out his hands and bowed to Mu Yang and Mo Xiaoqi, Mu Yang hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Sun Ming's hand when he saw this, and Mo Xiaoqi also hurriedly supported the two cows who wanted to bow down together.
"Uncle Sun Ming can't be like this, it's tormenting the younger generation. This time it is not only the work of the boy and others, but also the help of all the villagers of Sunjiazhuang who are not afraid of life and death to fight the enemy together. ”
"In any case, Sun Ming will never forget the kindness of the two young heroes! As for the stones that the Drifting Mountain Thieves want us to dig, alas, it is difficult to explain, I will take you to take a look, and by the way, tell the other people who are still working inside this good news, please come with me. ”
Sun Ming tried hard several times, but was always firmly supported by Mu Yang, unable to bow down, so he had to give up, and then turned around and led Mu Yang and the three of them to a deep passage in the cave.
The passage is not too narrow enough for two adults to walk side by side.
Although this place is underground, it is natural that you can't see the five fingers, but every ten meters on the wall of the passage, there is a fluorescent stone the size of an adult's fist, emitting a hazy light, and the environment in the passage does not seem so dark under the reflection of this fluorescent.
This fluorescent stone is a large number of ancient martial arts continent often used for lighting a kind of ore, fluorescent stone in addition to lighting and no other big use, after a little processing after mining, its lighting effect can be up to a year, and the price is cheap, it is a relatively popular daily necessities.
"Muyang, the concentration of vitality here seems to be much higher than outside!" Zhao Yuanbai said in a tone of uncertainty after walking for a long time.
"Well, it's several times higher, and I noticed it as soon as I entered this passage. Mu Yang replied affirmatively with a slight frown.
"Could it be that this is the cultivation treasure land that Liu Feng and the others said?" Mo Xiaoqi, who fell at the end, interjected.
"Quite possibly!"
Mu Yang nodded, and his eyes inadvertently glanced at Sun Ming, who was in the lead, but Sun Ming walked forward without saying a word.
Muyang didn't plan to ask more, anyway, he would know what was going on when he got to the place, and Zhao Yuanbai and Mo Xiaoqi didn't say much when they saw this.
The further you went, the concentration of vitality became higher and higher, and many small holes that had been dug gradually appeared on both sides of the passage.
After a while, the three of them heard the sound of relatively dense iron hammering not far away.
"When you get there, just turn the corner in front of you. Two young heroes, Yuan Bai, you will understand what is going on when you go in. Sun Ming, who had been silent, turned sideways and pointed to the front and said, his expression was indeed a little unnatural.
Although Mu Yang and the others were a little strange, they thought that Sun Ming would not harm them, so the three of them did not suspect that he had crossed Sun Ming and continued to walk inside.
"Hiss......"
When the three of them turned left and saw the scene inside, Qi Qi gasped.
"Oh my God!!"
At this time, the expressions of the three Muyang were surprisingly consistent, all of them stared at each other with big eyes and big mouths, and there was nothing else on their faces except for shocked expressions.
In front of the three of them was a more spacious passage, and every four or five meters on either side of the passage stood a numb and sweaty man in the prime of life.
They swung their iron pickaxes like machines, striking them against the hard walls.
Every once in a while, they would pull out a stone the size of an adult's thumb from a small hole in the wall and place it in a bamboo basket behind them.
Everyone only paid attention to what was in front of them, and no one even noticed that Muyang and the others had entered for a long time.
And what they dug down from the wall and put into the bamboo basket were pieces of crystal clear lower grade Yuan stones.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sounded, and a clear five-finger mark appeared on Mo Xiaoqi's face, and he couldn't believe what he was looking for, and slapped himself hard.
"Hey, it hurts! Hahaha, it's not an illusion, it's not an illusion! Brother Yang, this is the existence of a vein of Yuanshi, we are rich, we are rich!"
"The fat man is right, it is indeed a windfall. No wonder Liu Feng said that there is a treasure land for cultivation here, and no wonder the Wandering Mountain Thieves are so painstaking. I see!" Zhao Yuanbai, who has always been calm, was also pleasantly surprised and smiled happily.
"No, it's a great fortune, but it's also a catastrophe that can plunge all of us into a catastrophe from which we will never recover!"
Mu Yang on the side did not show any surprise, but his face became extremely ugly, and he said in a slightly frightened tone.
