It turned out to catch a thief, it was really not easy to run from the canyon to this place, such a steep mountain and such a dense forest, the two of them were quite embarrassed. Xiang Xiaoli frowned at the young man and said, "This thing is worthless outside, it's just a personal hobby to collect, and it's useless for you to steal it." He turned to Tian Hua and said: "The value of the case is too small, it is not worth making a fuss and sending it to the police, but if you do something, you should bear the consequences, you can't keep this kind of worker in the mine, send him away." ”

This is a matter of other people, and the human and material evidence are being dealt with very clearly, and no one else present can say anything. Xiang Tianhua turned around and twisted the young man's arm and shouted, "Come back with me, quickly pack up your things and leave!" ”

The young man wanted to struggle, but how could he earn him, just turned around, You Fang coldly shouted behind him: "Hua Youxian, your father and mother are looking for you in Chenzhou!" ”

The young man's whole body shook violently when he heard this, and he struggled to turn around, but he only turned his face with difficulty, and wanted to speak but couldn't make a sound. Xiang Yinghua was also stunned, and immediately said, "Mr. Rand, do you know him?" …… Tian Hua, let people go! ”

At this moment, the Qianbei Daoist, who had been holding the wine gourd and watched coldly, suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a wine arrow, which hit Xiang Tianhua's shoulder, and the wine did not splash and soaked into his clothes. Hearing Xiang Tian Hua let out a painful snort, his body shook, one arm hung down softly, and the wine flowed out of the cuffs and dripped down his fingers.

Almost at the same time, Xiang Xiaoli flashed, and he had already reached the nearest place and lifted the young man up, and came back to the front of everyone, making him out of Xiang Tianhua's control.

Everyone was surprised, Xiang Xiaoli's body style was very good, You Fang was not surprised, he had seen Xiang Zuohu's fist and foot kung fu, and presumably Mr. Xiaoli, who was as famous as him, would not be far behind. But the Thousand Cups Daoist squirted a mouthful of wine a few meters away, and he was able to break Xiang Tianhua's divine sense protection, and dislocated his shoulder, so powerful!

You Fang thought that his internal kung fu was already quite good, so it seemed that the internal strength of this Taoist master was no less than him, if he really wanted to do it, this wine arrow was an extremely powerful hidden weapon, if he was not prepared in advance, even if You Fang was in the fighting, it would be difficult to dodge. The internal kung fu has reached the level of externalization of strength, and it is not impossible to break the secret method of the master, but it is too difficult to practice to this realm!

"It's just stealing, there's no need to kill people, right?" Seeing that Xiang Xiaoli had already snatched the person over, the Qianbei Taoist put down the wine gourd and said coldly, and then stopped speaking.

It turned out that after You Fang spoke, Xiang Tianhua, who was walking down the mountain, also changed his expression greatly, and there was a very hidden movement in his hand. Ordinary people couldn't see what he wanted to do, but the Thousand Cup Daoist immediately sensed the murderous and dangerous, and shot directly without saying a word. Xiang Xiaoli was stunned, very surprised what Xiang Tianhua wanted to do, as soon as the Thousand Cup Daoist made a move, he immediately reacted and immediately snatched the young man.

Xiang Tianhua's face was like ashes, and he asked a little tremblingly: "Second uncle, what are you doing here?" ”

Xiang Yinghua stepped forward, pointed at him and said, "Tian Hua, what do you mean?" It's just a kid who steals, it's a worker in your mines, even if you punish him too much, just drive him away. Why do you want to kill people when you are called to break your identity? In front of so many fellow Jianghu people, you must explain clearly today, don't quibble that Elder Qianbei is wrong, I can see it clearly! ”

Xiang Tianhua: "What's the matter, I didn't want to kill people at all, I just wanted him to be honest, what are you talking about?" ”

Xiang Yinghua: "Secretly hitting the acupoints, the sense of luck penetrates through the brain, and the impact on the Yuan Shen makes people speechless and become idiots, is this different from killing?" What exactly do you want him to say? ”

Xiang Tianhua supported his right arm with his left hand, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and said in a pleading tone: "It's about me to keep my family secret, please ask the door master to ask if it's okay or not, you can punish me as much as you want, listen to me explain things clearly in private." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little embarrassed and surprised, they didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. Xiong Dawei whispered: "Xiang Sect Master, do you need us to avoid it?" ”

The most surprising thing was Xiang Xiaoli, at this moment his face swelled red, and he shouted: "In front of so many fellow practitioners, you are so vicious, but what do you say about the secret of the Xiang family, as the master of the door, how can I not know it?" …… You don't have to shy away from it, you must ask questions clearly today. ”

That being said, he is also a person who knows the severity, and the first sentence did not ask Xiang Tianhua, but turned around and asked You Fang: "Brother Rand, do you know this thief, who is he?" ”

You Fang shook his head and said: "I don't know him, and I've never seen him, but I once saw a middle-aged couple looking for their missing son at the Chenzhou Railway Station. …… If you don't believe me, you can make a phone call, it was left on the missing person flyer, I still remember. ”

You Fang said a mobile phone number in passing. There are really warm-hearted and nosy, Shen Shenyi, the head of the Nine Star Sect, was the first to take out his mobile phone and dial the phone, and walked to Hua Youxian as he spoke: "Hey, may I ask if you are sending flyers looking for your son?" …… What is his name and what characteristics does he have? When and where did he go missing? …… Oh, I seem to have seen it in Suichuan, Jiangxi, don't worry, I'll confirm if it's your son, and then I'll inform you. ”

Shen Shenyi put down the phone and rushed to Xiaoli and said, "Mr. Rand is right, there is indeed such a thing, can I ask this kid a few words?" ”

Xiang Xiaoli patted Hua Youxian on the shoulder, the young man shuddered, quickly left Xiang Xiaoli and hid beside You Fang, and said dumbly: "I am Hua Youxian!" ”

Shen Shenyi: "What are the names of your parents?" ”

Hua Youxian: "My father's name is Hua Wangxian, and my mother's name is Liu Lingzhi." ”

Shen Shenyi sighed and said, "Don't be too careful, I just confirm that what Mr. Rand said is true, and I won't ask the rest of the words." If it's really about keeping the family secret, it's okay to ask us to avoid it, and I believe that the owner of the Xiang family will be able to deal with it properly. ”

The scene froze here, ask, worried that Xiang Tian Huazhen would tell what secret and ugly things about the Xiang family, don't ask, but it seems that Xiang Xiaoli has a ghost in his heart. And looking at the expressions of Qianbei Daoist and Mr. Rand, they obviously don't want to let go of this matter, so many colleagues are here, and they must not let the Xiang family deal with Hua Youxian privately.

In order to show his openness, Xiang Xiaoli turned around and said, "Brother Rand, since you recognize this kid, then it's up to you to ask, and you don't have to be taboo about what Tian Hua's beast said." ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, You Fang sighed helplessly in his heart, and only heard the Qianbei Taoist whisper in his ears: "Brother Rand, you can figure this matter out, alas, you are this fate!" ”

What does this mean? Fate, mission, or does it mean that you always encounter bad luck that you have to come out and offend people? You Fang waved to Hua You, and said as gently as possible: "Don't be afraid, we are good people, I also met your parents in Chenzhou, and promised to help them find you back, can you tell me how you came to this place?" ”

This question is a big basket of stabs.

It turned out that this young man came out to work with his fellow villagers, and met a group of "recruiters" at the Guangzhou Railway Station, claiming that the treatment of their factory was very good, and the monthly salary was very high. It is the working conditions are hard, digging treasures in the mountains, and if the task is completed well, there is an additional bonus. The fellow was not interested, but Hua Youxian was tempted, followed them to Chenzhou by train, and then changed to a car to this deep mountain tungsten mine in Jiangxi Province.

Hua Youxian was accompanied by dozens of recruited workers, all of whom were 18 or 9 years old, all of whom had come to Guangzhou from remote villages to look for work, and most of them had gone out for the first time. They only knew that they had been fooled when they arrived at the place, it was true that they could eat and live in a bag, they could be full every day, and they could see a cabbage stew in three meals, but they lived in a row of shacks isolated from the outside world at the end of the deep mountain canyon.

A very secret cave has been dug in the deepest part of the canyon in the past two years, when the ore vein mining has no economic value, there is no tungsten sand belt gathered, but there are various mineral crystals growing in the rock cracks on the cave wall, if it is for mining mineral crystals, the cost is very high according to the regular mining method.

Hua Youxian and these people were placed under house arrest as soon as they arrived here, and they couldn't get out of the courtyard of this shack at all, and they climbed the rock wall in the cave every day with special tools to mine mineral crystals, and if they accidentally broke a complete crystal, they would be beaten and scolded by the overseers.

The mined bulk mineral crystal aggregates should be broken down into complete individual crystal shapes as much as possible, and special personnel will come to inspect them. If someone picks the "baby" and processes it completely, there will be a "reward" - more chicken thighs for dinner the next day.

The working conditions are quite difficult and dangerous, and the walls of the cave are full of mineral crystals, as if they are covered with sharp knife edges, and if you are not careful, you can be punctured. Moreover, many mineral crystals grow in high places, and they have to build ladders or climb with bare hands, and two workers once fell from a high place and rolled over the crystal bushes, and their flesh and blood were blurred and died on the spot. After the body was carried away, I didn't know what to do with it, and the foreman only said that he had sent the ashes home and gave him a huge pension, and asked everyone to be careful in their future work.

This work is done day and night, and there is no sky in the cave anyway. Eat and sleep, wake up and work, really tired and then eat, after eating and sleeping, get up and continue to work, endless shifts. Everyone has a set task every day, and if they fail to complete it, they will be punished, and this kind of work is not only dangerous, the environment is harsh, but the requirements are also quite high, even if the task is completed but other crystals in the mine are damaged, they must also be punished, not beaten and scolded.

Some people didn't want to do it and wanted to escape, but they were caught and beaten half to death. There is no way to settle the salary, the foreman only said that it will be counted together after two years, and it is useless to get money here. Hua Youxian made a request, he doesn't want money, can he send his salary home to his parents? The person in charge here promised the boss to leave everyone's home address and contact information, but never saw the receipt of the remittance slip.

Hua Youxian is a smart and clever child, but he has no experience at all when he goes away from home for the first time, and he falls into this trap at a moment's notice. He saw that it was to work for two years to calculate wages together, and he had seen the things of the dead with his own eyes, could these fierce and vicious foremen still let them go? I'm afraid I'll have to work here until I die.

But the guards here are too strict, and the three overseers are all skilled in kung fu, and they have guys in their hands, and they are at the very end of the canyon, and the door to the outside mine is always locked, and the fence is so high that you can't even think of getting out. Seeing that the two companions who tried to escape were beaten half to death, the foreman said that after sending them out to recuperate, there was no more news, Hua Youxian also understood that the two were more than lucky, and he no longer dared to reveal that he wanted to escape.

On the contrary, he showed a very innocent and well-behaved appearance, believing in what the foreman said, and often telling the hope of a better life when he had earned enough money in two years to return home. On the other hand, he was the most conscientious of all the workers, the most agile and the most skillful. Among the mineral crystals he mined, he picked the most "treasures" from the boss, so he also liked this child the most.

And he is not blindly obedient, in addition to believing in the foreman's words to work hard, every time he overcompletes the task to find more "treasures", he always puts forward various requirements, such as asking for bonuses, asking for more sleep, and coming to a roast chicken to a bottle of wine to relieve hunger. As soon as I was happy with the boss, I basically agreed.

Over time, he became more familiar with the three foremen, and he didn't keep an eye on him so closely, and gradually relaxed his vigilance. And Hua Youxian has another advantage, after doing this work for a long time, he can naturally pick out the "baby" that he may want from the boss in a pile of seemingly perfect mineral crystals, which is a feeling, sometimes it is very unreliable, but sometimes it is very accurate.

Because of this, Xiang Tianhua has been saved a lot of things, and he has more time to deal with his business outside, and there are fewer and fewer times to come. The work of selecting spars is all for Hua You to do, let him try his best to pick out all the spars that may be "treasures", including those mined by others, Xiang Tianhua just comes here regularly, and checks again in the selected batch of spars to pick out the real "treasures".

All the mined crystals, ordinary people look similar, but often only one out of thousands is the "baby" that the boss wants, Hua Youxian is naturally impossible to accurately identify, but after he selected it, there is roughly one out of the hundreds, which greatly saves Xiang Tianhua's effort.

Hua Youxian's "ability" also has a characteristic, although he can't accurately distinguish it, but basically he won't miss it. And as long as he is absolutely sure, he is generally not far from ten, but this kind of situation that can be determined is very rare.

Maybe it's a spontaneous and unconscious gift, right? If you catch the You Fang who has never practiced the secret method back then, and don't do anything else every day, just concentrate on doing this, and it is estimated that you can have this ability after practicing for more than half a year, and it is no less than Hua Youxian.

Later, Xiang Tianhua simply did not let him enter the cave to mine, specializing in the work of screening mineral crystals, eating and drinking, and living in a separate shed, the treatment was obviously different from that of other workers, and he was verbally informed that his salary had tripled. Hua Youxian tried to get some cash, and Xiang Tianhua really gave him money, but there was nowhere to spend the money in this place.

Hua Youxian's smartest trick is to ask for money, although he can't go out after he has money, he can ask three foremen to help him buy things, eat and drink, and buy a lot of benefits, thank you, and everyone can enjoy the things together. Hua Youxian is very generous, in three months, almost all the 20,000 cash that he wants to come has been spent like this, and only a few hundred yuan is left on his body.

On this day, Xiang Tianhua was not there, but Hua Youxian picked a "baby" in a pile of spars. This hedron has twelve edges on all sides, the crystal shape is perfect, and the interior is flawless when it shines in the sun. Then I walked into the cave and reached an absolutely dark place where there was no light, but I could see that it emitted a very faint light blue fluorescence, which could just illuminate the fingerprints, and it took more than ten minutes before it went dark. Take it out and shine it in the sun for a while, and then go back into the cave, and that's still the case.

This spar not only absolutely meets the requirements in terms of appearance, but also feels that it is definitely a "baby" based on experience! There have been all kinds of "treasures" in this mine, but it is this kind of "treasure" that has the largest number of them, and Hua Youxian is the most experienced.

There has been no "baby" in the mine for almost a month, and he has urged the boss several times, and even the foreman has scolded, and many of the workers below have been beaten, and he specially informed that once the baby is found, it will be sent immediately. Hua Youxian took the spar and went to find three foremen, one of whom was no longer going out to buy things, another person was carrying a guy to supervise the work in the mine, and another person was eating and guarding the door, but there was no one to go out.

Hua Youxian smiled at the foreman guarding the door in a flattering tone: "Boss Xiang lives near here, you show me the way, let me send it to him, if you don't make it happy, you can ask for a bonus as a reward, and by the way, buy a few more bottles of good wine for the eldest brother." ”

The foreman drank two more glasses during the meal, and when he was happy, his mind was confused, and he didn't have much vigilance against Hua Youxian, so he actually opened the courtyard door and pointed ahead: "Do you see the white two-story building over there?" Yes, I can only see a corner, walk from here and turn a corner less than a mile, and the boss is there, probably eating. If you want to reward money, you have to see if the boss is happy, and you can ask for more! ”

Hua You went happily with tungsten stone, turned around on the edge of the small building and disappeared from the foreman's sight. He didn't know the situation here, he didn't know if the others were with Xiang Tianhua, so he didn't dare to rashly call for help in this almost isolated canyon, but picked a relatively easy mountain wall to climb up and quickly climbed up, hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests.

Over the past year or so, Hua Youxian's body has not become weak, on the contrary, he is much stronger and more agile than when he first came, especially good at climbing, which is also the result of deliberate exercise, the difficult environment in the mine has survived, and then the "living treatment" is not bad, he has long been preparing to escape.
