Time is like water, after the winter festival, it is almost a blink of an eye to the cold winter, and Yushan is also covered with a layer of gloom.

When the sun fell, the trumpets on the mine suddenly rose to a loud end, and the whole mine was in a hurry.

Shao Mingqing put down the cinnabar fished out of the water and looked up at the mountain.

This girl, regardless of cold or summer, persevered every day.

"Ange'er, An'er."

Old Madam Xie's voice sounded on the side.

Shao Mingqing turned his head to look and saw that Mrs. Xie, who was sitting under the pergola, was waving at Brother An who was running by.

"Aren't you resting today?" She asked, frowning again, "Are you going to do it for your father?" Didn't I say that the old don't need to go up the mountain anymore, just pan for sand at the bottom of the mountain. ”

This last sentence was addressed to the overseers beside him.

The overseers looked aggrieved.

"yes, yes." They hurriedly said, "It's already been arranged like this." ”

"Lord Dan, I'm not here for my father." Angoli said, pausing, "I am, going to walk the horses." ”

Horse walking?

Shao Mingqing laughed, and the overseers were stunned.

What do you run up the hill with a horse? What about horses? This kid can talk nonsense with his eyes open to Mrs. Xie because Old Madam Xie treats them and his father and son?

Old Madam Xie was also stunned, and thought of something again, and looked up at the mountain.

"Go, go, go." She said, waving her hand.

Ange Yu responded by turning around and running towards the mountain.

Shao Mingqing shouted to him again.

"You look at her, don't let her say anything, drill in the mine, how dangerous." "It's not about running around in the mountains......," he said.

Speaking of running around, I thought of the scene of Xie Roujia jumping along the cliff to the mine on the top of the mountain, which was also very dangerous, and it was almost terrifying.

"It's not horseback riding," he hurriedly turned his head again.

Speaking of horseback riding, I shuddered when I thought of the scene I saw that day.

"Brother An, how can you let her ride a horse in the mountains?" He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "That's a hillside, not flat land!" ”

Brother An lowered his head and listened to him honestly.

Honest?

It's not an honest one either!

If he was really honest, he wouldn't have been able to run and refuse when Old Madam Xie asked him to go out of the mountain and not have to be a miner.

Shao Mingqing stared at him.

"Go, go, go." He said angrily.

Ange Yu responded by running towards the mountain.

One or two are not worry-free!

Shao Mingqing shook his head, bent down and picked up a handful of cinnabar from the water again, looked at the dark sand in his hand, and sighed.

"Old lady, don't worry, you have done as you said, the old and sick do not need to go to mining, only sand panning, scrubbing, do not go to work at night, and work in shifts during the day, and the food and drink are received according to a fixed amount."

"Look at how energetic they are now."

"It's all the blessings of the old lady, and I've lived a good life."

"Yes, yes, this winter festival is good again."

There was the laughter of the overseers.

Old Madam Xie looked blank and got up and left for a moment after hearing this.

Shao Mingqing raised his heels and went up.

"Old lady, you have made their lives too good." He frowned and said, "It's really painful. ”

Is life good, or is it a painful thing?

This is a contradiction.

Old Madam Xie turned her head to look at Shao Mingqing.

Shao Mingqing stretched out his hand, and there were a few cinnabars in his palm.

This cinnabar is small and broken, the color is dull, it is the most inferior, and no one pays attention to this kind of sand when it is thrown into the sand shop, let alone make money.

"Old lady, there is no good sand on this mine, and even such sand is getting less and less, if it goes on like this, it will be abandoned sooner or later, and at that time, these people will lose the foundation of their survival."

They have never had a good life before, so they can barely survive the life, but now they have a good life, and in the future, they will suddenly fall into misery again, and they are afraid that it will be more painful than living a hard life all the time.

"You're saying I'm too nice to them?" Old Madam Xie smiled, "Should I beat and scold them more harshly to drive them to work, so that they can get used to more miserable days in advance?" ”

It doesn't seem right.

Shao Mingqing smiled bitterly.

"I mean...," he said.

"I know." Old Madam Xie interrupted him, "Do you want to say that there is a way to make good sand in the mine, not just by relying on my kindness to take care of it, only when the sand is good can there be a good life." ”

Shao Mingqing nodded.

"Old lady, I've been studying for a long time, and I think Yushan shouldn't have become a waste mine." He said.

Old Madam Xie stretched out her hand, Shao Mingqing hurriedly helped her, and the two stepped up the hillside on one side, looking over from here, there was a bare mine on one side and a dense forest on the other.

"yes, Yushan shouldn't have been a waste mine." Old Madam Xie said.

If it weren't for the great damage of the dimensional vitality for more than a hundred years.

Hearing her affirmation, Shao Mingqing perked up.

"yes, that's true, right?" He said with a flutter of eyebrows, "I don't think we can treat it as a waste mine, the current shortage of manpower, relying on these old and weak people alone, some young and strong workers from other mines, re-mining and mining, will definitely have a big harvest." ”

Old Madam Xie smiled.

"Boy, you think highly of me." She said, "Although I have won a lot of luck in this sacrifice, if I really want to transfer people to Yushan, I still can't do it, they won't believe it, and they won't affect the interests of other mines for Yushan, as you said, relying on people, a good life can live for a while, but relying on one person alone, some things can't work." ”

"Unless it can be proved that the Yushan mine has great talents?" Shao Mingqing said, frowning, "But to prove that there are great profits in Yushan Mine, you need manpower, this is really a contradiction." ”

Old Madam Xie smiled and nodded.

"yes, that's a contradiction." She said, "If you want to get some, you have to lose some, wait a little longer, Yushan has great benefits, wait a little longer, and one day in the future, I will use those big benefits to change a way out for everyone." ”

Mrs. Xie raised her feet and walked down, while not forgetting to reach out and caress the mountain rocks, and recited words in her mouth.

Change?

Shao Mingqing frowned.

"In other words, it still depends on people." He muttered, "If you don't want to change, if you don't abide by the agreement after the change, it's still up to someone else to decide." ”

…………………………………………….

There was a bang, and Brother An immediately reached out and grabbed the girl in front of him and stepped back.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xie Roujia patted the soil and stones on her head and whispered.

Brother An looked at the large rock that had rolled down at his feet, and if he had taken a step backwards, he probably had to carry her out.

"This side has been abandoned, and the rocks are too dangerous, don't go inside." He said.

Xie Roujia shook the fire twist in her hand, lighting up a little light.

She shook her head as she looked at the narrow cave that had been apparently excavated and then abandoned.

"It's fine." She said, stretching out her hand to caress the rock wall, "It's okay, it's okay, let's just take a look, don't dig and peel off the cave wall, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”

Brother An felt that this was a little strange, as if he was talking to him, but it seemed to be saying it to the cave again.

When she was stunned, the girl had already raised her feet and walked inward.

Brother Ann hurriedly followed.

Shao Mingqing asked all the way to find this cave, but he couldn't see Xie Roujia and An Geyu.

"I was still here." One of the miners said, looking around.

This is a large mine cave, and it is also a semi-abandoned mine hole, and its inner holes are full of mistakes.

I must have gotten into some hole again!

Shao Ming gritted his teeth angrily.

"Uncle, the holes here are dangerous, don't let Miss Roujia play here, there were several branches of the hole because they were about to collapse because of a move, and they were abandoned as soon as they were dug and didn't dare to use them." An old miner said.

As if to confirm his words, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud noise, the ground shook, and a hole not far away leading to the inner part collapsed.

The miners in the cave suddenly stopped their movements and fell to the ground one after another.

This was the first time Shao Mingqing had seen the cave collapse at close range, and he was stiff and stopped breathing for a moment, shouting in his head to run out, but his feet rushed towards the collapsed hole.

Xie Roujia! This stupid guy wouldn't happen to be in this hole, would he?

Fortunately, it only shook a few times before it was stable, and the miners lying on the ground repeatedly thanked the mountain god for forgiving their sins before getting up carefully, and Shao Mingqing stood in front of the hole blocked by the rocks, and his face turned pale.

Suddenly, there was another loud noise, which frightened the people in the cave, and saw two people crawling out of a hole on the other side, and at the moment they came out, the rock behind them fell, and the hole was completely blocked.

Shao Mingqing only felt that his feet were weak, and he held on to the rock wall next to him, and the sound of a girl was in his ears.

"It's dangerous! I dropped a shoe. She said, patting the dirt and stones on her head.

I just slapped it, and a hand slapped it my head.

"You still know the danger!" Shao Mingqing gritted his teeth and said, calling again and again, "You still know the danger!" ”

Xie Roujia hugged her head and whispered, oops.

"Young master, young master." She whispered, "Be quiet, be quiet, and don't talk loudly in the hole." ”

Shao Mingqing reached out and picked her up.

"You know a lot." He raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Come with me, you are not allowed to step into the mine for half a step in the future!" ”

Xie Roujia hurriedly hugged his arm, and the soles of her feet slipped.

"Young master, young master." She said again and again, "You listen to me, you listen to me." ”

Shao Mingqing took a deep breath.

"I'm going to go into a hole and see." Xie Roujia said.

Shao Mingqing's face turned blue with a sigh of relief, and he pulled her away.

"Young master, I'm serious, there must be something in this cave." Xie Roujia said.

There is something that is a pronoun for cinnabar, Shao Mingqing sighed.

"How do you know?" He asked, glancing at Brother An.

The last time there was a mining disaster, it was Brother An's warning, although I don't know how he did it, but everyone privately said that Brother An had the ability to detect the state of the mine, otherwise how would Mrs. Xie look at him with blue eyes.

Shao Mingqing knows that this kid looks loyal and honest, but he is actually very clever, he can run through the cave to catch fish, and he can find that the mine is about to collapse, he should really have some ability, at least he is very familiar with the mine.

Could it be that he made a discovery again this time?

Xie Roujia looked at him with a solemn expression.

"Intuition." She replied.

Shao Mingqing rolled his eyes, twisted Xie Roujia's arm behind his back and pulled it out without saying a word, and the grizzled Brother An followed behind.

The miners in the cave looked at each other, shook their heads, and continued to slowly peel away the rock wall.

"Get down for me!"

Shao Mingqing stood on the hillside, looking at Xie Roujia with raised eyebrows.

Xie Roujia rubbed her arms and pouted.

"Go down, go down, what a ferocity." She said, beckoning to Brother An, "Brother An, let's go." ”

An Ge Yu walked over with his head down.

Shao Mingqing only took a breath, and saw Xie Roujia, who had walked to the mountainside, put his hand in his mouth and whistled, and his brows jumped.

What a careless child!

"Xie Roujia! No horseback riding in the mountains! ”

With the roar of the young man, a little red horse walked down the hillside steadily, and jumped on the mountain road, and the girl on the horse lifted the reins, and the red horse neighed and galloped away, and behind it, another white horse came down from the hill and galloped after him.

"Don't let me see you here again!"

The roar of young men echoed through the mountains and forests.

……………………………………………………….

For a few days, Shao Mingqing really didn't see Xie Roujia appear in the mine again, and he nodded with some satisfaction.

"There aren't many people in the mine now, and you've worked hard." He said to the guards, "But don't let your guard down, Miss Roujia is now slipperier than the monkeys in the mountains." ”

The guards couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, this girl always makes my heart beat here, and I always feel like I'm going to cause something." Shao Mingqing said, clapping his hands and walking down the mountain.

"Well, now that Miss Roujia isn't here, nothing will happen." The guards said with a smile.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a boom and shook under my feet.

Shao Mingqing scolded his mother in his heart.

What a mouthful!

Having already experienced it once, the feeling is already familiar!

Shao Mingqing turned around and saw a puff of white smoke rising from the mine.

"The mine has collapsed again!"

The shouts resounded through the valley.

This word is really heart-wrenching.

Shao Mingqing gritted his teeth and clenched his hands. R1152
