Chapter 35: Go and Stay

Xie Roujia didn't know what happened to the Xie family, her days were as usual, she got up before dawn, climbed to the top of the mountain, and then entered the mine from the top of the mountain, and came back through the mine, this circle took nearly two hours.

"Miss, don't you think it's okay to run for three or five days?" Jiang Ling said, shaking the clothes in his hands and setting up in the courtyard with Shui Ying.

The sound of rushing water rang out in the wooden house.

"They love to hear me sing." Xie Roujia poked her head out from inside and said, revealing her smooth shoulders from the simple door panel.

Jiang Ling hurriedly waved at her.

"It's cold." She said.

Xie Roujia smiled and retreated.

"But I'm sure it won't take me so long if I'm running fast in the future." She said inside.

"I think we're going to have to get a tub, and I can't stand it in the winter." Jiang Ling ignored her, frowned and said, "Shui Ying, you will go to the old lady at the bottom of the mountain in a while and ask for one." ā€

"I'm not going." Shui Ying said.

"Don't worry, they'll give it if you want it." Jiang Ling said.

"I knew they would give it, but they didn't care about it, and I couldn't carry it back." Shui Ying said.

Jiang Ling looked at Shui Ying's thin body and shook his head.

Xie Roujia walked out with a smile.

"I'll go, and when I get back, turn around and get it." She said.

Jiang Ling took a hand towel to cover her head, and went into the house to dry her hair, while watching Xie Roujia eat.

"I think that person is Shao Mingqing's father." She said as she ate.

"Didn't you say you ran fast without stopping and didn't ask? How do you know? Jiang Ling asked.

"But I have good eyes." Xie Roujia smiled, "I can see clearly, this uncle looks the same as Shao Mingqing." ā€

Jiang Ling laughed and pushed Xie Roujia.

"Miss, it's the other way around." She said, "It's Young Master Shao who looks the same as his father. ā€

Shui Ying grinned from the side.

"Isn't it tall, white, with two motifs?" She asked.

Xie Roujia nodded.

"That's my lord!" Shui Ying said happily.

Shao Mingqing said that Shui Ying was fished up from the water by his father, and Master Shao was Shui Ying's life-saving benefactor.

Xie Roujia put down the dishes and chopsticks.

"Then we should pay a visit." She said, "Let's go, we'll go." ā€

Shui Ying was overjoyed, Shao Mingqing did not allow her to enter the mine without permission, but Xie Roujia could take her there.

"Take the fish you caught yesterday and give it to your master." Xie Roujia said.

Jiang Ling laughed.

"It's not like Master Shao hasn't eaten fish." She said.

Xie Roujia had already pulled up her hair.

"Courtesy is light, affection is heavy." She said that Shui Ying had happily picked up a fish from the basin and slammed it on the ground twice, and the fish did not move.

"Let's go." Xie Roujia said.

Shui Ying responded and happily followed with a fish strung with a straw rope.

It's just that when they came to the mine, Shao Yong was already gone.

"Let the four teeth send it to the master." Shui Ying said, turned her head to look for Siya, and found that she couldn't see Shao Mingqing's little guy, "What about Siya?" ā€

"Siya went back with the master." Shao Mingqing said, stretched out his hand to take the fish, and changed the topic, "Well, it's time for lunch, let's bake it." ā€

Siya may have followed the master back to get the winter clothes for the young master, and Shui Ying also threw it away and stopped asking.

Grilled fish is now Jiangling's best, and several people came to Shao Mingqing's residence.

"Your father came to see you?" Xie Roujia asked, looking at Jiang Ling and Shui Ying who were grilling fish on the ground.

Shao Mingqing lay on the grass and did not answer.

"What? Are you envious? He asked rhetorically.

Xie Roujia threw a handful of dead grass in his face.

The fish was quickly baked, but the overseer ran in a hurry.

"Come here, come here, the old lady is here." He shouted.

The old lady is coming?

Xie Roujia raised her head and looked over, and sure enough, she saw that the overseers were rushing to the direction of Mrs. Xie coming over, and Shao Mingqing, who was a member of the mine, was naturally busy.

Watching Shao Mingqing leave, Xie Roujia stood up after eating the fish slowly.

"Let's go." She said.

Jiang Ling and Shui Ying packed up and followed, and only after a few steps, someone ran over from the side.

"Miss Xie." He shouted, leaning over and prostrating.

Xie Roujia looked over and saw that it was Lao Haimu.

"Get up." She hurriedly said and smiled again, "Also, I'm not the Miss Xie family." ā€

Not the Miss Xie family?

But he obviously heard Shao Mingqing call her surname Xie? Old Haimu looked up a little stunned.

"Is someone urging you to go back to the mine again?" Xie Roujia asked after a moment's thought.

"It's not." An Ge Yu came from the side, "No. ā€

When he said this, he came to him and pulled up Lao Haimu.

"No one forced us to go to the mine, I wanted to go there myself, but the boy wouldn't let me go, I know, it's your sake." He said.

Xie Roujia looked at him and frowned, the doctor said that this kind of injury is best to be recuperated for a month.

"Since no one forced you, you can take care of your injuries, why do you have to go back?" She asked.

"Working in a mine, you often get injured." Brother An lowered his head and said.

Xie Roujia looked at him puzzled, what do you mean?

"If you're injured, you won't be able to raise it like this." Ange Yu continued.

Yes, the doctor takes good care of him, eats and drinks well, and keeps his family accompanied, which is indeed very rare.

"That's because you saved me." Xie Roujia said, "This is a reward for you, you can accept it with peace of mind." ā€

She said that she was going to leave, knowing that he was from the mines, that he had a father named Haimu, that it was enough to know that he could ride horses, and that she didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"But the next time you get hurt, it won't be because of you." An Ge Yu said, "I will not have this kind of treatment to heal my injuries, this kind of gift can make my injuries heal, but it can also make my body inert, then the next time I am injured again, I may not be able to recover from my injuries because of the lack of such conditions." ā€

What the hell is that?

Xie Roujia looked at him in amazement.

"You can tell." She said.

In his previous life, he was like a stone man, and when he recalled that he had said no more than ten sentences, he was quite sharp now.

Lao Haimu grabbed Brother An.

"You're crazy, why are you so ignorant, how can someone die because of their injuries, if you go back now, you will die." He said urgently.

"I'm a miner, and I'm going to die in the mine." Brother An said with a stalk.

It's a pity that you died under the hooves of a horse in your previous life.

Xie Roujia sighed.

"Okay, if you want to go, let's go." She said, "You know your injuries best, so you can make your own decisions." ā€

She said, lifted her foot, walked away, and hurried away.

"Brother An!" Old Haimu hurriedly said, "Why do you have to stay in the mine?" ā€

"Dad, why do I have to leave the mine?" Brother An also said urgently, "And do you think that if I save this young lady once, I will be able to leave the mine?" How can you have so much faith? You heard it all, and she said she didn't have the surname Xie. ā€

Old Haimu looked at the back of the girl who was far away.

The strange girl with the mask, isn't her surname Xie?

"No, I'm not confident because of her." He retracted his gaze, "Brother An, do you remember the words I taught you......"

An Ge Yu nodded.

"I remember, I never told anyone." He said.

"You have to remember well, don't tell anyone about it." Old Haimu solemnly admonished.

"Dad, what are these words?" An Ge Yu asked.

"You don't have to ask what it is." Old Haimu said.

Before he finished speaking, he heard an uproar in the distance, he turned his head to look, and saw that it was Old Madam Xie's side, and the people gathered together were all in a hurry.

"In front of the Great Dan Lord, you dare to make a noise, it's really unusual." Old Haimu was indignant.

……………………………………………

"That's the way it is, I'll take over the Yushan mine." Old Madam Xie sat on the chair and looked at the large and small overseers in front of her, "You can stay or go, you choose." ā€

If it is left at another time, the old lady asks them whether to stay or go, and the fool will choose to stay without hesitation, who will not please the old lady.

But now, the old lady is going to be in charge of the Yushan Mine alone, and the matter is not as simple as an old woman who is idle and bored to escape the summer and relax.

What does this one-man palm mean?

Won't the eldest lady come to the sacrificial ore to distinguish the sand and mine? Although I don't come often.

Won't the big sand shop come here regularly to collect sand? Although I don't come often.

Won't the expenses of the mine and their wages be paid directly by the big banks? Not much, though.

"Yes, in the future, every qiē of Yushan Mine will no longer be under the unified responsibility of Daxing, and every qiē of Yushan Mine will be handled by me." Old Madam Xie said.

Money and sand are secondary, but obviously there is a big lady, but the old lady has to take charge of the duties of the Dan master, what does this mean, everyone's hearts immediately understood.

The scene fell silent.

"Whoever is responsible is the same, it's yours old lady." The chief overseer's somewhat dry laughter was particularly prominent at this time, "What are you leaving, staying, wherever you go, it's the Xie family." ā€

Is that so?

"I said above, I want the old lady to be free, let the old lady toss at will, and let her play casually." One overseer whispered to the other, "Let's just go along with it." ā€

"It's only these leaders who explain that they play with the old lady, and they will also be the ones who will be meritorious in the future." The overseer whispered, "What are we, we don't take it seriously, but we can't make sure that someone will take it seriously in the future." ā€

Obviously, the old lady and the eldest lady had a quarrel, and the trouble was not small, otherwise they would not have said anything that would make people choose to stay.

Although I don't know how long it will take to reconcile, but people are mother and daughter, and there is nothing to do when they are reconciled, they are nothing, and in the future, maybe the eldest lady suddenly remembers what she went to stay, and she will feel that someone still chose the old lady, wouldn't she take her seriously?

A low-level overseer like them can be regarded as having a light on his face when he sees the big shopkeeper, and a character like the eldest lady doesn't want to see it at all, let alone be remembered by her.

However, they would rather not see the eldest lady for the rest of their lives, and they do not want to be remembered like this by the eldest lady.

"Besides, don't forget what the old lady is doing in the mine these days." The overseer added in a low voice.

Come to the mine every day, and be so good to the miners, if the old lady is in charge, they will definitely not be able to get the oil and water before.

It is possible to be hated, and there is no benefit, and you have to be watched all the time, and you don't have the comfort you used to have, what do you want to stay here?

After the chief overseer's words were finished, there was some pandering sound on the scene, and then there was silence.

Old Madam Xie smiled.

"It's all for a mouthful of food, don't be afraid, nothing good or bad." She said, raising her hand to the side, "Go, I have already called the shopkeeper of Daxing, and if you want to leave, go to him to register, and then assign it to other mines." ā€

The chief overseer was still laughing on the sidelines.

"How come, it's all the same, where is it to eat...", he said, before the words fell, someone knelt down.

"Thank you, old lady." He said, "The little one has an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and he has always wanted to beg for food, but he can't move around in the mine, thank the old lady for giving this opportunity, and the little one is happy to go to other mines." ā€

Say knock kowtow.

The Grand Overseer glared angrily.

"You boy, it seems like I used to be thanks to you......" he shouted.

Old Madam Xie laughed and stopped him.

"Go ahead." She said, "Work hard, let the old lady and the child live a good life." ā€

The man prostrated with joy.

"Thank you, old lady, for your blessing." He said, getting up and running away.

With him taking the lead, more people knelt down and kowtowed, and at first he said some reasons, but then he just kowtowed and left, and in the blink of an eye, there were more than a dozen people left in the venue of dozens of people.

Five or six of them had been ordered in advance by the chief overseer.

The chief overseer's embarrassed face turned pale, and he scolded these slippery cowards with hatred in his heart.

"Don't worry, old lady, I—" He hurriedly looked for something to say.

Old Madam Xie stopped him with a smile.

"Go, I'm not in a hurry, these people are gone, there are a lot of things to be handed over, you can get busy." She said, "I've worked hard for you." ā€

The chief overseer and the others hurriedly said they didn't dare, so they retreated.

Shao Mingqing turned around and was stopped by Old Madam Xie.

"Why haven't you left yet?" She asked.

Shao Mingqing smiled and saluted.

"The old lady said this as if she didn't want to see me." He said.

Old Madam Xie looked at him and smiled.

"I don't like you kid very much, ghostly." She said, "Now that our own family is gone, what do you want to do if you stay?" ā€

Shao Mingqing shouted wronged.

"Old lady, you can't do this, it's the right thing to go, it's wrong for me to stay." He said, "You said it too, but it was just for a bite to eat." ā€

Old Madam Xie laughed.

"." She said.

Shao Mingqing responded with a smile and turned around and ran.

Old Madam Xie was the only one left in the field, she sat on a chair, looking at the entrance of the mine not far away, with a calm expression.

When Xie Roujia knew about this qiē, it was already three days later, and she still knew it from Brother An's mouth.

She came to the mine from the top of the hill as usual, and the miners shouted as usual when they saw her.

"Sing the trumpet! Sing the trumpet! ā€

Xie Roujia laughed and wanted to open his mouth, and then he saw An Ge Yu walking in the procession, he was carrying a piece of ore on his back and bending over and walking slowly.

He actually went back to the mine.

Xie Roujia did not rush down while singing the trumpet loudly as usual, but stopped and followed the team.

"Are your injuries really alright?" She asked.

Brother An lowered his head and hummed.

The man in front of him laughed out loud.

"Miss, it's really okay, now we eat well, we don't have to work at night, we have strength, and we don't work hard at all." He said.

Xie Roujia still remembered him, this was the miner named Ah Ba who had been missing his right hand and wanted to leave here, and he didn't want to be a waste.

"Yes, yes, Lord Great Dan is here, Lord Great Dan has blessed him."

"Now there's strength."

"In the future, this mine will be personally taken care of by the Great Dan Lord, and her old man will come every day."

Others said the same.

The old lady actually ......

Xie Roujia was very surprised.

But the Xie family's affairs have nothing to do with her.

She smiled and didn't say anything more.

"It's good to eat well and rest, if you're in a big mine, you don't know how much extra sand you have a day, it's really blind here." Ah Ba complained indignantly, and his steps were heavy.

"Talk less, watch the road." Brother An said in a muffled voice.

"You yellow-haired boy, teach me a lesson." Ah Ba said, turning around slightly, "What do you know?" Do you know how good I used to be......."

His turn made everyone in the group shout in surprise.

The marching procession could not stop.

But although Ah Ba turned around, he didn't stop, and he could still turn around and continue to walk with the ore on his back, which made everyone even more surprised.

"See, Lao Tzu is so powerful...."Ah Ba said proudly.

Before the words fell, I felt my feet tremble, and there was a commotion in my ears.

Everyone noticed it and stopped.

"What's wrong?" They asked.

"What can it be, it's just a stone in the mine." Hachi said, "You're really..."

Before he finished his words, he heard Brother An suddenly raise his voice to interrupt him.

"Don't move!" He shouted, turning his body with the ore on his back and looking behind him.

Not far away, there was a mine entrance, and a rock was falling and rolling down the cliff wall at the entrance of the cave, which caused the noise.

"What's wrong?" As the second person in the team to lead the way, An Ge Yu stopped, and the whole team stopped, and everyone asked, but not everyone can stand on the slope and turn around with a stone on his back, so he can only ask puzzled.

Brother An just looked at the mine, his face gradually became solemn, his lips trembled slightly, as if he was silently chanting something.

"What? It's just a stone, it's everywhere, let's go. Ah Ba said angrily, raising his feet and stepping.

"Don't move!" Ange Yu shouted again.

Ah Ba's footsteps stopped, but he was immediately a little annoyed.

"You boy," he shouted.

Brother An ignored him, still looking at the mine.

What is there to see in the mine, Ah Ba couldn't help but look at it, and Xie Roujia also turned his head.

It's an abandoned mine, and the black entrance looks a little hideous on the red cliffs.

The trembling sensation under his feet became clearer and clearer, as if a team of miners carrying ore on their backs were walking by.

"It's going to collapse." Brother An said slowly.

This sentence came into the ears, and with the trembling of the feet, everyone suddenly felt a numbness from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

It's going to collapse......

It's going to collapse!
