Chapter 23 Fighting the landlord

When he dragged his extremely tired body out of the mine, Tao Qi began to regret his decision, and the job of a miner was really not something anyone could do.

In the beginning, he could keep up with the others. But later, as the number of forks in the mine increased, the miners gradually dispersed, and Tao Qi also began his own prospecting work.

According to the requirements, all the stones that will block the way need to be put in the basket to prevent trouble for future mining work, and Tao Qi gradually became familiar with the road in this mine, but also carried a large amount of useless ore. When he handed over the ore on his back to the miner in charge of inspecting the mine again and again, he pouted and told him not to plane if he saw such a thing in the future, these were obviously waste stones without jade in them.

After working hard all day, it was only when he finally received his salary that he realized the difference between himself and the old miners. The average income of others on this day can reach about four to five merits. Excluding Cheng Biao's taps, rent, food and drinking water, no one can probably have a surplus of one to three merits, especially some of the more experienced, who can even balance nearly ten merits, so that Tao Qi only has envy and admiration. Looking at his harvest again, Tao Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly, his total income was only one and a half merits in a whole day, removing the consumption of this day, Tao Qi had to post it upside down!

After receiving the water for dinner, Tauchi returned to his lodgings and threw himself directly on the bed, never wanting to move again. It's hard work! It's really not easy to do the job of mining, when will you be able to save enough 10,000 merit vouchers? The only thing he could do now was to hope that when he met the warden, he would be able to check and use his true merit count. If you can only use the diǎn coupon of the first layer of hell. I want to save 10,000. That's really going to kill Tao Qi, I don't know how long I need to work!

Pillowed his arm as a pillow and thought for a while, Tao Qi didn't come up with any way, so he had to give up, no longer bother with this, let it be natural, take one step at a time.

After lying down for a while, the fatigue has disappeared a lot, and I am not too tired. But he began to feel very uncomfortable. After a day's heavy work, he was already covered in stinky sweat, and with the sand and soil attached to it, there was no water in this oasis mine to use for bathing, so it was no wonder that he could not feel uncomfortable.

√dǐng√diǎn√小√語,.¢.▽os_(); Tao Qi stood up, took off his coat and shook for a long time, and even the clothes inside shook it, intending to clean the sand and dirt off his body and make it a little more comfortable when lying down.

Suddenly, there was a "snap". A small box the size of a palm fell out of Tauchi's pocket.

"Huh! It's this ......" Tao Qi couldn't help but light up when he saw this. The eyeballs rolled to the heart.

If you want to say what this little box is, everyone is actually very familiar with it, this is a deck of playing cards. It is made of Yinshi dǐng-grade plastic, and its appearance is very exquisite, even in the city where prices are so low, it consumes twenty-five diǎn merits of Tao Qi, which can be described as expensive. Tao Qi used it when he was fighting the landlord with Bai Wuchang Dieyi and the donkey Lao Hei, and he put it in his pocket after playing cards, and then he was so busy with reincarnation that he had long forgotten its storage. At this time, it suddenly fell out of his clothes, which made Tao Qi a little surprised, and then thought of the only two slightly normal people in this mine......

"Poker!" When Cheng Muran saw the treasure in Tao Qi's hand, he cried out in surprise, "I haven't seen it for many years!" ”

"Huh? Isn't there poker in the first level of hell? "Although it is expected that there is no poker here, I heard that Cheng Muran has not seen it for many years, and I also think it is strange, after all, even where ham sausages can be bought, it is really strange that I have not seen poker for many years, could it be that there is no poker in the entire first layer of hell, including Shura City?

"I only played with this thing when I was alive, and I haven't seen it since I got to the underworld, and I really didn't have it in the first layer of hell. This is not surprising, the first level of hell is only free to enter and exit by the Warden, and the others are prisoners, and they do not have the Warden's ability to transport people and supplies. The warden is too busy just to deliver prisoners and necessary supplies that have completed their sentences, so how can he still send this thing to us prisoners? Don't you see that we don't even have slightly more advanced mining tools here? The reason given by the warden was that we prisoners came to hell to work and reform, so we couldn't rely on advanced tools. So not to mention the nice-to-haves like poker! Cheng Muran was still wearing his cyan shirt, and he opened the conversation with Tao Qi excitedly.

"Then you haven't played in a long time!" Tao Qi looked at Liu Biao, who was also sitting in the sand hut.

Liu Biao said with a sparkle in his eyes: "Isn't it? After Lao Tzu came in, he didn't have anything to play with, and he was going to hold back the birds. I didn't expect your kid to come in and bring this good thing privately, and bring a few pairs down? ”

Tao Qi couldn't help but laugh and said, "How can I deliberately entrain?" This is the only pair I accidentally brought in when I was playing with it before, and I forgot to take it out in my pocket. I think that in the leisure time after work, everyone is bored, so take it out and play for a while, and everyone will relieve their boredom. ”

"Hehe, that's a good dare!" Liu Biao was already eager to try, but he was just about to stand up and call someone, but he sat down again, "However, it seems that the three of us have this interest, those honest people outside, hehe!" Let them play cards, it is better to ask them to do a little more work. ”

"What if there are only three people?" Cheng Muran also agreed with Liu Biao's view of diǎn, so he frowned and said.

Tao Qi smiled and said, "Haven't the two elder brothers heard of fighting the landlord?" ”

"Oh?" Cheng Biao and the others couldn't help but light up their eyes.

Tao Qi told the rules of fighting the landlord like this, fighting the landlord is very simple and easy to learn, just said it once, Cheng Biao and the two roughly understood, so they planned to play two first.

The three of them didn't talk much nonsense, and started to play, Cheng Muran and Liu Biao have been in this first layer of hell for many years, although they haven't played the popular landlord fight. But Tao Qi taught him so. Plus they've played other cards after all. It's a simple and three-player way to play, and the two of them quickly learned it.

And without waiting for Tao Qi to build yì, Cheng Biao and the others began to feel that it was not interesting to just touch their fingers and play in vain, and they had to play with colorful heads, Tao Qi was secretly happy in his heart, so it was logical to fight with them with a merit diǎn number, and started a fight with the landlord.

Tao Qi, who has been immersed in fighting landlords on the Internet for many years, is naturally not low. However, at the beginning, Tao Qi deliberately gave them diǎn sweetness, controlled the situation very well, and basically kept himself without losing, so that the two of them could win or lose each other, which further stimulated the interest of the two.

Tao Qi knows that gambling can be done for a long time as long as it can arouse the interest of gamblers. Looking at the excited appearance of the two, Tao Qi couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart: Hehe! Two old boys. You can donate me the money for the journey back!

And that's it, for the rest of the day. Whenever it was time to work, Tao Qi would go down to the mine to collect, and during the break, he would immediately come back to accompany the two to fight the landlord. Later, the two of them simply refused to let Tao Qi go to the mine, and promised that Tao Qi's meager collection income would be paid by them, and they would not go down to do useless work. This is still said one day after seeing Tao Qi carrying a basket of ore out of the well slowly, because he saw that Tao Qi's basket was basically filled with ordinary stones, and he went down to collect a whole day, and even a fraction of them couldn't pick up a fraction of the landlord's play, and it was a delay of ** hours of playing cards, so he simply made this promise and played a few more cards.

More than half a month was quickly spent playing cards and occasional mining, and Tao Qi did not suffer in this half a month, not to mention, and accumulated nearly a thousand merit vouchers. This is also the reason why Cheng Muran and Liu Biao are relatively wealthy, and later they bet higher and higher, and sometimes even have one hundred and eighty diǎn wins and losses in one day, which makes Tao Qi make a small fortune.

However, on this day, the three of them could no longer play, and their baby poker finally died after more than half a month of devastation. This is still their more cherished use, if according to Liu Biao's original habit of playing poker before his death, no matter how good the cards, I am afraid that several decks will have to be replaced.

A few people looked at the poker in their hands, which had most of them unable to see the cards clearly, some broke and some of the corners were missing, and they stared at each other with wide eyes and no way. After all, in this first layer of hell, there is no second pair. However, calculating the time, it seems that it is about to reach the transportation day of this month, and Cheng Muran and Liu Biao must make some preparations, so Tao Qi naturally started the sorting and checking work before the transportation with the two of them.

At the beginning of each month, the wind and sand in the desert will be lightened, so the production of various mines, factories, etc., will transport the products and ores produced in this month to Shura City and hand them over to the warden during these days.

Of course, as the supreme leader of the entire first layer of hell, the warden will certainly not do those menial tasks such as receiving, diǎn goods, and settling accounts, and Shura City has its own capable prisoners to do it for him. The Warden is only responsible for teleporting back and forth with the city to get the most out of it. People are not profitable, they don't get up early, who will do things that are not beneficial?

Cheng Muran, who was busy tying the reins of the camel in his hand, glanced at Tao Qi, who was helping Tao Qi beside him, and said: "You kid hasn't done much these days, and you have obtained a lot of merit coupons, you have the means!" ”

"Huh! We've built up friendships at the table. Tao Qi also learned to tie the reins of camels, and he did it very seriously, because Cheng Muran told him that these camels were the life support of the three of them, and Shura City was extremely far away from this oasis mine, so far away to send the ore over, there could be any accidents in the desert, if the camel team had problems during the transportation, the three of them would probably not be able to reach Shura City.

"You will be familiar with us after a few trips, danger and opportunity have always coexisted, since you dare to take this kind of risk, naturally you have the benefits you deserve, after coming back this time, you can be my deputy, and you don't have to go down the mine anymore, I see the mine you choose, you have to live for many years." Cheng Muran quipped Tao Qi said.

He knew that Tao Qi actually wanted to see the warden and wouldn't come back, but he also knew that the warden was not so easy to see. He has been here for decades, and every time he goes to deliver goods, all they can see is a few cronies and prisoners under the warden, all they can see are some small minions who help collect and settle accounts, and they are already nostrils to the sky, and they are not decent. It's really hard to meet the warden and the warden! Although it is not completely impossible to see the warden, but this time the number is really rare, I have been in charge of the work here for so many years, and I have only seen his old man once, Tao Qi wants to see him for the first time, I am afraid that he will take advantage of the excitement and return disappointed.

"Brother Cheng, is it really not easy to see the warden master?" Tao Qi also heard the meaning of Cheng Muran's words, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Although Cheng Ran has been good to him these days, Liu Biao has also established a friendship with him because of the relationship between playing cards, and he is no longer mean to him. But this is hell after all, not a place to stay for long! I'd rather re-enter reincarnation as a puppy right away than continue to "barbecue" myself like this every day.

Cheng Muran didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't want to hit him too much, so he had to say: "It's not that there is no chance, the warden will still be there sometimes." However, there is one circumstance that you will definitely be able to see him, and that is that as long as you have accumulated enough merits necessary for you to leave the hell, you will definitely be able to see him, because only the warden has the ability to teleport people back to the capital city. ”

Thinking of his ten-figure merits, Tao Qi couldn't help but hope rose in his heart: as long as he arrived in Shura City, he would directly sign up to return to Xudu City, maybe it would be fine. Although I didn't save enough 10,000 diǎn coupons, I had a lot of them in my account! I just don't know if the warden will allow this method to go back, and when the time comes, let's do it in Shura City!
