The words of the overseer made the laborers in the mud pit, holding their tired bodies, speed up the speed of wielding the shovel.

Chu Feifei lowered her head and pretended to work hard, in fact, there was not much difference between her hard work and not her hard work, each shovel was only two fingers deep, and then pry up a small half shovel of mud, and then throw it into the basket, if she didn't throw it accurately, maybe she could all fall back into the pit.

Chu Feifei didn't expect to complete the task at all, she was spinning her mind in her head, thinking of other ways.

The water in the valley seems to have receded not long ago, and in some places it has dried up, while others are still in a state of stagnant water.

Dry river mud figurines won't sink into it, but if you dig it down with a shovel, you can see water less than half a meter.

The overseer grimaced with a whip in his face, patrolling the countless mud puddles.

Chu Feifei was a little puzzled, there were so many people, there were hundreds at a glance, but the guards seemed to be the only one in front of him.

Is there any means that these men in black can do to prevent people from escaping?

Chu Feifei saw that the black-clothed overseer had already patrolled a hundred meters away, and it was estimated that he would not be able to hear this, so he whispered to her "neighbor" again.

"Brother, brother."

The "neighbor" in the mud puddle next door looked back at her coldly, but his men did not stop digging in the mud.

Chu Feifei tried his best to show a friendly smile, and a row of snow-white molars appeared on his face full of yellow mud: "Brother Tai, you were also arrested, right?" ”

The "neighbor" rarely looked at Chu Feifei a few more times, and Chu Feifei smiled more "friendly": "The younger brother's surname is Du, and the brother can call me Xiao Du." The younger brother was just arrested last night, and today is the first time to work, and he doesn't understand the rules, so he asks the brother to give me more advice! ”

Chu Feifei said and hugged the shovel and made a smile with a smile

"Poor scholars are really sour." The "neighbor" muttered, then ignored Chu Feifei and turned his back.

Chu Feifei was speechless, how could this person be like this

I wanted to ask someone else, but the nearest mud pit to her was about ten meters away, and it was obviously impossible to "talk in secret".

Although Chu Feifei didn't know how much the day's task was, she knew that she would definitely not be able to complete it. I just don't bother with that task. Instead, he was bent on figuring out where he was now.

The "neighbor" next door was digging and digging, and suddenly noticed that there was an extra person next to him, and he was startled: "Why are you here?" You are crazy? Don't want to die? ”

Chu Feifei hugged the shovel and smiled: "I think your land is better than mine, why don't we dig it together?" ”

The "neighbor" looked nervously at the overseer who had reached the other end of the valley. He whispered, "You go back quickly." You didn't know it was great the first day. The guards here have demon methods, and a wave of your hand from a distance of dozens of feet can kill you! ”

Dozens of feet away? A wave of your hand? Chu Feifei smacked his mouth, this secret weapon kung fu is very good.

Seeing that Chu Feifei didn't seem to show a scared expression, the "neighbor" continued: "When you didn't come." People die every day in this valley, sometimes several times a day, digging up the mud and sand, digging and digging, you can dig up blood and water. ”

"Blood? Why? ”

The "neighbor" looked at Chu Feifei like an idiot: "Naturally, there are too many dead people!" ”

"Oh" Chu Feifei glanced at the overseer who was patrolling, estimated the distance again, and felt that there was still some time, so he continued to ask: "I was arrested after being knocked unconscious, and so was my brother?" ”

Seeing that Chu Feifei was so "not afraid of death", the "neighbor" simply went with her, and stepped up his work: "Most of the people here were arrested, some were fished up from the flood, and some were left alone and caught when they fled. ”

"Then what are they doing with us? What's the use of digging up this sediment? Chu Feifei saw that the man was unwilling to pay attention to her, so he picked up a shovel and helped the man dig a few times.

The "neighbor" was a little reluctant to go: "Don't help me dig, go and do your own work, you have to dig 20 baskets of sediment a day to complete the task, I see that your body is not very good, this task can't be completed, but it's really dead!" ”

Twenty baskets? She didn't even finish half a basket, okay?

Chu Feifei still wanted to ask a few more words, but the "neighbor" was anxious to urge her to go back, for fear that the overseer would find out and affect him.

Chu Feifei had no choice but to drag the shovel back to her mud pit, she disappeared for a short while, but no one noticed, most of the laborers were digging mud and sand, digging a full load, and sent it to a grass shed on the shore, it seemed that there were people in it to count.

Chu Feifei pretended to dig the mud and sand while staring at the grass huts on the shore, trying to figure out how they counted.

At this time, the overseer was about to inspect her, and Chu Feifei hurriedly worked hard.

I don't know if Chu Feifei performed too much, but when the overseer passed by Chu Feifei's mud pit, he stopped.

Chu Feifei was nervous for a while, she had dug half a basket of mud for most of the day, I don't know if this supervisor would suddenly get angry and beat her?

At this moment, the shovel in his hand seemed to have hit something, and there was a bang, Chu Feifei's hands were numb, and he sat down on the ground with a bang.

But the overseer cried out, "Get up! Keep digging! ”

Chu Feifei lowered his head and said yes timidly, picked up the shovel and changed the direction to continue digging.

The overseer shouted again, "Just dig that place!" ”

That place just now? It's obviously a stone, and digging a stone is much more laborious than digging up sand.

Chu Feifei sighed in his heart, and slowly used a shovel to clear the mud and sand around the stone a little, and then found a point to try to pry the stone out.

It's just that the stone doesn't know how big it is, and it took her a long time to make the stone not move at all.

Chu Fei panted with a shovel.

The overseer above snapped the whip and shouted, "Hurry up, I want to eat the whip!" ”

Chu Feifei was helpless, so he had to use his strength to pry, but it still didn't work. So she took the shovel and tried to smash small pieces on the stone, and she thought, since she couldn't pry it, it would be fine to smash it into small pieces.

It's a stupid idea, but not to mention, the rock really made her drop a small piece.

Chu Feifei picked up the stone that fell from the mud and couldn't see its true color, wiped it on his coat, and vaguely saw that it was an ordinary pebble-colored stone, with some spots and lines at the fracture, which didn't look like a fragile stone.

Chu Feifei sighed, threw the gravel casually, and continued to dig near the stone with a shovel.

She didn't see it, but the stone she had thrown aside was picked up by the overseer, and he looked at it in his hand for a long time, and then took the water bag from his waist, washed it carefully, and looked carefully at the light of day. (To be continued.) )
