Chapter XXVII
The snow in winter is getting heavier and heavier, and the cold wind is carrying snowflakes and flying all over the sky, and there is no one ten steps away.
Liu Feng, surrounded by Bayar and others, stood on the high post outside the Crouching Tiger Village in Xianghe Mountain, almost unable to open his eyes. Crouching Tiger Village is the cheesy name he gave to the yellow fan's nest. The cottage that was built in full swing before, he was still very satisfied.
At this time, according to the fierce battle of that day, five days have passed, he has cleared out some bandits around the mountain col, which has been built by the yellow fan for many years, although he burned a lot by a fire, but the scale is not small, plus there are coal mines nearby, he already has the idea of occupying the sound of the mountain, how could he give such a place to others, so the wind and snow have not stopped, he is anxious to take people out to survey the surrounding terrain, but also to go to the coal mine
"Commander, there's a mine ahead." Wang Gui, who had a sharp-beaked monkey gills, was leading the way for Liu Feng and his party.
Liu Feng heard early on that there was a coal mine in Xiangheshan, and in this era, iron-making kilns had the habit of using coal, and most of the coal in Liujiabao's kilns was purchased from Xiangheshan.
Half an hour later, a group of people came to the mine mouth that Wu Gui said, here is not far from Crouching Tiger Village, but there is no big road, only a rugged mountain road winding around the mountain, now the snow is overwhelming, the road is also hidden, if it is not for Wang Gui, who is familiar with the mountain road, I am afraid that Liu Feng and his party will not be able to find this at all.
The coal mine in front of Liu Feng was at the mouth of a crack in a mountain, which was dug out by the people of Xianghe Mountain, and the black pitch has been obliquely downward, and it is about ten meters deep, and there are some miners on the mine, and scattered houses are built on the open land.
There was all kinds of garbage and a lot of feces all over the floor, and there was a strange smell in the air that the university couldn't bury it. The simple shack was a little crumbling under the thick layer of snow, and people came to pay no attention to it, ragged and blind, as if they were walking dead. Just by chance a few children chased through the street and let out a laugh or two.
Liu Feng, who was colder, couldn't help but smile bitterly, he came to this world, he didn't do a few big things, but one of the things he did was to build Liujiabao in Daxing, and now there are no thatched houses in Liujiabao, the road paved with blue bricks and clay, and the porcelain is neat and tidy. This is probably one of the reasons why everyone in Liujiabao is in their hearts.
But the various soil nests in front of him suddenly realized that the people of this era are working hard for food and clothing, and they are a little ahead of the curve.
The wind and snow on the mine have stopped, Bayar and others and the burghers brought by Liu Feng are sighing and sighing, suddenly there is a sound of the house collapsing, Liu Feng's face changed, and he strode over, only to see the old and young in the mine rushing to the collapsed house in a panic, and there was a shout.
"Hurry up and save people, the shack of Wu Kuangtou's house has been overwhelmed by the snow!"
Liu Feng did not hesitate and strode towards the collapsed house, and all the burghers followed.
"Quick, lift the wood and save people!" Liu Feng eagerly instructed everyone
An old man with white hair was shouting loudly and commanding, and everyone in the mine was struggling to remove snow and move things.
A group of burgers finally lifted the wooden beams of the shack, and heard the old man under the shack still shouting, Liu Feng felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, but immediately his heart tightened, and the old man shouted to save his grandson, the grandson and grandson were lying together, and the child seemed to have no movement.
Liu Feng didn't care about anything else at the moment, turned over and got into the shack from the opening that everyone had raised, and in the midst of everyone's exclamations, he handed the child out, turned around and picked up the old man, and got out of the gap.
The rescued old man was fine, only some abrasions, so much so that his grandson fainted in fright. The rescued old man thanked Liu Feng and said, "More commanders to save each other!" He saw that all the forts called Liu Feng the commander, and he also called him the same.
"As it should be! Wu Kuangtou doesn't have to worry about it, but I still have some things, but I have to bother you to solve your doubts! Liu Feng said sincerely, he asked the bundling to help repair the shacks everywhere, and he took Bayar Wu Mine Head to the old man's shack who commanded everyone just now.
"It's good to teach the two old men to know that we are not the bandits of Xianghe Mountain, but the forts of Liujiabao forty miles away. This time, I came to the mine to mine new coal. Liu Feng didn't sell it, and said directly
"Liujiabao of ***? How did you come here, not afraid that the yellow fan would tie you up? Old Man Wu asked in some surprise
"The yellow fan has been killed by me! Xiangheshan will never have a yellow fan again! Two old men, let's gossip a little, I want to know, can this mine still dig up coal? Liu Feng said calmly
"Is that true?!" Wu Kuangtou asked with some excitement and disbelief
Until Wang Gui, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, confirmed to Liu Feng that the two old men and old stoves made a grunt, and then knelt down for Liu Feng, kowtowed to Liu Feng with tears, and choked up: More commanders gave us the mine and avenged the blood! ”
Their kneeling frightened Liu Feng, it was the first time in their previous life and this life, someone knelt down for themselves, but the two old men with white hair knelt in front of them, and they felt so awkward that they hurriedly stepped forward to help them up.
When the two old men heard the news that Huang Fanzi and the other thieves were destroyed by Liu Feng and them, they no longer became as enthusiastic as they did just now, and they also introduced the situation in the mine to Liu Feng.
Originally, there were nearly 100 households of miners in the mine, and they could dig out thousands of catties of coal every day, but because the yellow fan occupied the nearby mountain col, they came to the mine from time to time to plunder, most of the young and strong miners were killed, and those women were also taken away, leaving only some old and young people still living on the mine.
Liu Feng had a general understanding of the situation, thought for a while and said: "I want to continue mining these mines, you always take the miners to follow me!" As long as the people who work here are paid, you? ”
"It's not a big problem, it's just that the commander is still asking the commander to send some food, and the people in the mine are about to stop." Wu Kuangtou said with some hesitation
Liu Feng understood the old man's thoughts, if he didn't give them food and didn't repair the shacks, he was afraid that this winter, he would freeze to death again, and many people would starve to death, so he smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, since I want to open a mine, I won't let you starve to death, since you know that we are the best Liujiabao, then you should rest assured, we Liujiabao even manage the homeless people from other towns, not to mention the people who want to work for us?" ”
Wu Kuangtou heard Liu Feng talk about Liu Jiabao, and he was relieved, Liu Jiabao has accumulated a good reputation in this generation since he built a fort, which also paved the way for Liu Feng.
