Chapter 654: Saving Ling'er
Zhan Ge walked back and forth in the mine with a leather whip in his hand, and when a lazy worker next to him saw him coming, he immediately got up to work, but found that his attention was not on them at all, and relaxed again.
He scanned back and forth, the path of the mine was intricate, and his memory was good, and it would take several more walks to memorize it.
"Are the people here still good?" Suddenly, someone stopped Zhan Ge, he stopped and turned his head to see that the person opposite was wearing the same clothes as himself, and he should not be of high rank.
"It's very good, I didn't dare to make trouble, I'll go over there and have a look in a while." He pointed in a direction with his leather whip.
The man seemed to be here longer, and came up and tapped him on the shoulder.
"There aren't many workers over there, just take a look at it, it's mainly these places, snacks, and the benefits in the future will be indispensable to you."
It's no secret that the guards got the gold, and everyone knows it in their hearts, but under the nose of the chief, they don't dare to make a big move, but everyone has ambitions, and who can't be moved by the gold in front of them.
"I think it's a big place over there, why is there no one? Something happened before? Zhan Ge kept an eye on it, put it in his pocket, and gave the man what little thing he had left.
He weighed it in the palm of his hand a few times, and felt that it was enough, so he led Zhan Ge to walk a few steps there.
"Well, go over and see for yourself." He nodded forward with his chin, reluctant to follow, as if what was in front of him was not as useful as the treasure he had just gotten.
Zhan Ge stood in place for a while, and stepped forward suspiciously, the ground was still a little damp, and water was dripping from the stone wall above, and it looked like no one had come over for a long time.
But with so much back and forth in the mine, it's clear that this place has been abandoned.
He squinted his eyes and looked around carefully, nothing new. It was still difficult to see in the dim light, but there was light for this, and there was a place that was darker than the place he was looking at.
The ground under his feet was already watery, and the mud stuck to the soles of his shoes, making it quite laborious to walk.
He finally walked over and found that it was a blocked hole, and through the cracks in the stones, he could still see the light coming in from outside.
"Blocked?" Zhan Ge returned the same way and walked over to the man to catch his breath.
"Yes, this is the road to the outside world, how can it not be blocked, so no one will come, and they don't know." He shrugged, "If it weren't for the fact that you kid is a little conscious, I won't tell you." ”
He stretched, and it was time for the changing of the guard: "Let's go, no one will come here, and it will be troublesome if the upper authorities find out that we are lazy." ”
Zhan Ge lowered his head to contain the excitement in his eyes, and deliberately walked behind, looking back at the stone wall from time to time.
It turned out that it was the exit, and he secretly compared it in his heart, with his strength, it took a lot of effort to chisel it, and it seemed that he had to think about it in the long run.
He plans to take the tools with him tonight and then make his next move.
Soon at night, the sound of chiseling stones during the day had disappeared, and the night seemed exceptionally quiet.
Zhan Ge lay flat on the bed and pretended to sleep, and waited until late at night when everyone was asleep before he carefully got up.
In the cave, the tools for digging stones were everywhere, and it was not surprising that he had lost one or two, so he picked up the tools he had secretly hidden and walked slowly in the direction of the stone wall.
He walked very slowly, and every distance he walked had to look back carefully to see if he had followed, but fortunately the torches in the mine were not extinguished all night, and there was no need to go through the dark.
When you are about to reach the stone wall, increase your speed a little and rush in front of you quickly, regardless of the muddy road.
He looked left and right first, frowning slightly: "Why is it so thick?" ”
When I looked at it during the day, I thought it was just a thin layer, but now it seems that it is at least the thickness of an adult's arm, and it is impossible for him to chisel it in the near future alone.
"No matter, Shuang'er is still waiting for me outside, and I can't fold it here." Zhan Ge muttered to himself, and the thought of Yan Wushuang was full of strength, gritting his teeth and waving his tools.
The sound of the iron head and the stone colliding spread far away, but it was far enough here that no one would hear it at all, which was also the reason why Zhan Ge was able to let go of his strength.
Beads of sweat soon formed on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks and down his resolute chin.
He couldn't even wipe his sweat, and Zhan Ge couldn't wait to use all his strength to chisel open the stone wall in one night.
"If you are like this, it is estimated that it will take three and five years to get it open, don't waste your efforts." A male voice made Zhan Gekankan stop moving, and his waist almost flashed.
"Who's there! Come out! Zhan Ge lowered his voice, his sharp eyes locking onto a prey like a beast.
"What kind of skill is hiding there, since you have already spoken out, don't hide it." Zhan Ge quickly looked at an angle, and there was a person who could hide right around the corner.
There was silence in the air, and a man came out in the middle of the night, his body was a little weakened, and his hands were raised above his head to show that he had no malicious intent.
"My name is Liu San, and I also work here, I overheard your conversation during the day, and I came over at night to try my luck, who ......knows?"
He reported to his home and didn't finish his words, but he knew in his heart that he happened to bump into Zhan Ge who came out.
"Just trying your luck?" Zhan Ge narrowed his eyes, all the coercion on his body was released, and Liu San was a little weak.
He swallowed, trying not to let his voice tremble, "That's right, I'm just like you, I want to escape from here, so don't doubt me." ”
The same purpose is a good way to dissipate the other person's vigilance, and he is not lying.
He pointed to the stone wall behind him and continued, "You alone can't do it at all, I'm afraid you'll be discovered before you finish it." ”
Zhan Ge sneered: "I can't do it alone, do you think two people can be very fast?" "Whimsical. He didn't say the last sentence.
Liu San scratched his head, seemingly a little shy, and understood that Zhan Ge had misunderstood him.
"Of course not, although I found that there are only two people here, there are still many people who want to escape, I can't read, but I also know that there are many people."
Zhan Ge tilted his head, as if thinking about the feasibility of what he said.
According to what he said, it is difficult for him to chisel with his own strength, and if there are really a lot of people, the speed will be much faster, but there are many people, in case it is discovered......
As if seeing his concerns, Liu San hurriedly promised: "Don't worry, the person I am looking for is absolutely reliable and will not tell me about this matter." ”
Zhan Ge gritted his teeth, and now there is only one way.
"Okay, you are responsible for arranging people, I can only drag the people patrolling here, pay attention, the speed must be fast."
Liu San showed a simple smile on his face, and didn't say much, but patted his chest to signal that this matter was wrapped up in him.
Obviously, he couldn't continue today, so Zhan Ge ordered Liu San to go back in a few words.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhan Ge went over early, saw Liu San, and took advantage of the fact that other people were not paying attention, and pointed to a few people, who he had already notified.
After a circle, there were indeed a lot of people, and Zhan Ge calmed down a little.
He didn't arrange for too many people to go over at once, and if too many people disappeared, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
During the day, they work as usual, but there is a fight, and many people can take the opportunity to rest for a while and reserve their strength to dig holes at night.
Some of them go to rest and then come back the next day to take their place.
Although this form is a little slower, someone can dig a hole every night, and there is not the slightest abnormality on the surface.
Tonight was the night of the war, and everyone was very dry, and a basket of stones was carried out and thrown into the pile of stones that had been worked during the day, and there was no notice at all.
"If the big guy works hard for a while, we'll be able to get out soon." Zhan Ge squatted down and gasped slightly, boosting his morale by the way.
"Be polite to us, it's all to be able to go out." A strong man waved his hand, with an unintelligible accent, and Zhan Ge turned in his mind before he understood.
He smiled and didn't speak, picked up the tool at hand and continued.
Suddenly, a cry came, and they were already far away, so you can imagine how loud it was.
"It's not good, something happens, everyone hurry back." Zhan Ge was the first to react and immediately asked everyone to leave.
Each of them only has the tools in their hands, and they get up and run when they hold them in their hands, and they move quickly.
Zhan Ge went back the way he came, lying on the bed and waiting for the sweat on his body to disappear, before he pretended to be sleepy-eyed and went out.
The crying continued, but it was noticeably hoarse, much quieter.
"Please, save Ling'er, she's dying, please."
Someone knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to the chief, and some sharp stones hit his forehead, which shows how strong he is.
"It's about to become a dead person, what else can you save, look at her like that, if it's a plague, won't all of us here have to die?"
The chief scolded expressionlessly, raised his foot and kicked the begger for mercy away, and was about to let people step forward and carry Ling'er away.
The man quickly threw himself over and hugged Ling'er, shaking his head vigorously: "No, Ling'er, she is not a plague, she can be cured, she has done so much work, you can help ask for a doctor." ”
Zhan Ge took a step forward, and only then did he see that the little girl who was being protected under his body was thin and small, and her palm-sized face was originally sallow, but now it has become extremely pale, and even her lips are bloodless.
He had seen this little girl, who was usually a well-behaved girl, and had brought him water a few times, but now she was lying on the ground unconscious.
"Let me see, maybe there really is help." Zhan Ge Ghost made a god to speak, he should not be in trouble, but he really couldn't bear to see a fresh life disappear in front of him.
"Hurry up and save her, quickly." As if grasping a life-saving straw, the man handed Ling'er forward to him.
Even the chief looked at him suspiciously, Zhan Ge took a deep breath, squatted down to examine it carefully, and everyone looked at him with bated breath, not daring to make a sound to disturb him.
After a long time, he got up and said to the chief, "You don't have to throw her out, I can revive her." ”
