Zhan Ge didn't say a word, touched the side face that oozes blood, retracted his gaze, the foreman's inner desire for conquest was greatly satisfied, he glanced around, and said proudly: "This is the end of your disobedience!"

As he spoke, he threw a few more whips, panting and glaring at the man who was beaten by himself without saying a word, snorted coldly, and walked towards the other coolies.

"What do you see, why don't you hurry up and get to work? If you can't finish today's task, you won't want to eat at night. The foreman's urging voice resounded throughout the coal mine, and Zhan Ge tightened his clothes to cover the scars, and continued to transport the coal in the cart to the designated place.

After a busy day's work, it was getting dark, and the foreman took a few old women to set up a rice bucket at noon.

"It's time to eat! Time to eat! Hurry up! Say what about you! Zhan Ge picked up the broken porcelain bowl from the corner and squeezed it into the pile, finally took a mouthful of porridge, distributed a blackened head, sat in the corner, and observed the surrounding movements while drinking, the old man sitting next to Zhan Ge swallowed his saliva after eating the steamed bun and stared at the food in the hands of the young man next to him.

Zhan Ge noticed the old man's movements, approached the old man quietly, and took advantage of the foreman's inattention, broke the steamed bun in his hand in half, and handed one of them to the old man: "Uncle, eat!"

The unfilled stomach made a sound, the old man smiled embarrassedly, took half a steamed bun from Zhan Ge's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in a few bites, and cracked his lips: "Young man, thank you!"

Zhan Ge smiled disappreciably, and heard the old man ask, "Young man, why are you here?" I can see that you are not coolie material! ”

With a wry smile, Zhan Ge shook his head and said, "I was sent here after being knocked unconscious!" A look of understanding appeared on the old man's face, making Zhan Ge guess that the coolies in this coal mine should have been sent in as stunned as himself.

"I see that you should have been a rich boy before you came here, so I'll tell you a secret, but don't tell it outside." The old man mysteriously glanced at the foreman who was busy eating not far away and said.

Zhan Ge felt that the old man would not know any valuable secrets, but he still lowered his head and listened, and the old man approached Zhan Ge and said, "Let me tell you, this is not an ordinary coal mine, and there is real gold hidden under here." Zhan Ge looked up at the old man in surprise, opened his mouth, and heard the foreman after eating beckoning people to continue working.

Finding a corner that the workers couldn't see, Zhan Ge took out the coal block hidden in his arms, knocked it against the wall, the black surface fell, Zhan Ge blew it, the golden yellow leaked out of it, took a deep breath, and threw the fake coal into the small cart.

In the early hours of the morning, Zhan Ge lay in the mess of people and couldn't sleep, and the events of the evening came to his mind, and it was not until the foreman struck a gong to wake up the coolies that Zhan Ge retracted his thoughts.

As usual, Zhan Ge pushed the cart out of the mine and saw that the old man who was talking to him yesterday fell down, Zhan Ge subconsciously took two steps forward, and saw that the foreman who whipped himself yesterday threw the whip at the old man.

The sound of the whip falling on the flesh made Zhan Ge's face gloomy, until the old man twitched a few times on the ground, Zhan Ge stepped forward, took the foreman's whip with his bare hands, and stared coldly at the rampant foreman.

In the foreman's eyes, these people were all boneless waste, and when he saw someone stopping him, a trace of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Yo! If there are really heroes, then let Lao Tzu see if my whip is powerful, or your fist is powerful. ”

In the face of provocation, Zhan Ge's hand wrapped around the chain threw out the foreman holding the whip, snatched the whip from the foreman's hand, Zhan Ge thought of the old man lying on the ground, and a trace of anger rose from the bottom of his heart, and threw it out at the foreman who fell to the ground.

"Smack!"

"Oops!" With a scream, the foreman staggered and stood up from the ground, touched the wounds on his body, and glared at Zhan Ge fiercely: "The ability is not small, come on, give it to me, dare to resist!"

In the next second, several big men guarding around the coal mine stepped forward to surround Zhan Ge, staring at a few unfamiliar faces, and Zhan Ge waved the whip in his hand.

Four or five big men dodged the whip of Zhan Ge, and kept shortening the encirclement over and over again, Zhan Ge realized that the strength on his body was getting smaller and smaller, and shouted in his heart that it was not good, and the whip in his hand was dragged by someone who was not careful, and the chains on his hands and feet were also restrained.

Zhan Ge protected his head and endured the punches and kicks of several people, until the foreman shouted to stop, Zhan Ge gasped, and his body was already covered with bruises.

Feeling that someone was slapping his face, Zhan Ge opened his eyes vaguely, and heard the foreman proudly say in his ear: "You still want to fight with me, Lao Tzu will kill you!" After saying that, he kicked himself twice.

The crowd around him dispersed, and Zhan Ge shook his body and remembered from the ground, the buzzing sound in his ears made Zhan Ge dizzy, shook his head, and struggled to push the coal cart.

At night, Zhan Ge returned to the shack again, lowered his body and lay in the middle of the crowd and said in a low voice, "Haven't you thought about escaping?"

After half a ring, no one responded, Zhan Ge opened his eyes weakly, and heard a weak voice coming: "I thought about it, but I didn't dare, there were a few people who tried to escape before, but in the end they were all arrested, blocked everyone's face, and burned alive."

Zhan Ge opened his eyes and saw that it was a thin young man who replied to him, and he sneered and said, "Believe it or not, even if you don't get burned alive, you will be tired to death."

The young man was stunned, lowered his head, and several people around him also seemed to be thinking about Zhan Ge's words, and the time of a stick of incense passed, and the young man who answered Zhan Ge just now said in a daze: "That's better than burning to death!"

Zhan Ge sat up from the ground unconvinced, touched the wounds on his body, frowned, and heard the young man continue: "I heard that this is a coal mine under the name of a general, even if you run away, you can be caught back, why bother?"

General? Zhan Ge's dark eyes moved, this title is very rare in the two countries, the most famous is that person, is this coal mine really the person he thinks in his heart?

"Say what? Hurry up and go to sleep, if you don't sleep again, you will dig coal for Lao Tzu! The foreman's voice came, and Zhan Ge did not say anything about escaping, and lay on the ground of the shack and closed his eyes.

After a while, hearing the foreman walking away, Zhan Ge appeared in the mine around the people lying on the ground, and after a few movements, he was dazzled by the flickering lights in the distance.

"Why?" The daytime foreman approached and asked viciously.

Zhan Ge stopped what he was doing, bent his eyes, and said with an inconsistent flattery on his face: "This big brother, I didn't come out to work when I couldn't sleep, so I could speed up, didn't I?" You'll have a light on your face, too. ”

The foreman hesitated to look at the man who had resisted with him during the day all night, looked at the full cart, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Good job, keep it up!"

Zhan Ge smiled and nodded, took out the coal from the cart and rubbed it, and held it in front of the foreman: "Big brother, this is the gold I inadvertently picked up during the day, I don't need it here, I specially offer it, and I hope that the eldest brother will not remember the things of the day, forgive me this time."

The foreman looked down at the gold in his black hand, his eyes lit up, and he quickly snatched Zhan Ge from his hand, gritted it with his teeth, and exclaimed, "Really?"

"That's, how dare you lie to the eldest brother, it's just a pity that I only found this one." The foreman didn't question Zhan Ge's words, patted Zhan Ge's back, and said, "What's your name?"

Zhan Ge rolled his eyes, lowered his head and said, "Big brother just tell me to tie my hair."

"Leash? It's a good name, I remember you, don't worry, I'll be here in the future, and I guarantee that you will eat and drink spicy food. The foreman said with enthusiasm, not noticing the disdain on Zhan Ge's face.

"Yes! Be! Be! In the future, I will rely on my eldest brother to take care of it. The foreman was eager to go back and take a good look at the gold, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, it's not too early, hurry back and rest, I'm leaving."

Watching the foreman leave, a sneer broke out at the corner of Zhan Ge's mouth, and he turned around and walked like the wooden house where the coal mine detention center lived.

The laboring coolies usually lived on the ground in the shacks, and the small foremen were only better than the coolies, living in single shacks, and only the caretakers who managed the coal mines were guarded in wooden huts with decent beds to rest on.

Knocking on the door of the wooden house, Zhan Ge heard the movement in the house, and after a while, a fat-headed and big-eared man walked out of it, rubbing his eyes impatiently, and the guard saw that it was not the little foreman of the mine who knocked on the door, frowned, and said, "Who are you?" Who told you to come here. ”

Facing the questioning, Zhan Ge lowered his head and said word by word: "Brother Guard, I am a coolie in the mine, and I want to report someone who is secretly hiding the coal mine!"

"What?" Zhan Ge's words made the guards wake up immediately, these little foremen don't know what is hidden in these coal mines, but he knows it clearly, if others know......

The guard's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he stared at this face he had never seen before and asked, "Who is it?"

Zhan Ge raised his head and said slowly to the guard's eyes: "The foreman of our mine, who was originally going to go out to pee at night, suddenly heard a sound in the mine, and saw the foreman sneaking a piece of coal back to the house and never came out."

Zhan Ge said in detail, which made the face of the hesitant guard more and more ugly: "You come with me!"

"Yes!" A few steps away, Zhan Ge followed the guard to the outside of the foreman's shack, as Zhan Ge expected, the oil lamp in the shack was still on, and the guard kicked open the grass door, and saw the little foreman who followed him before holding gold to the light.

Zhan Ge stood at the door, watching the guards snatch the gold, and asked loudly, "Where did you come from?"

The foreman was dumbfounded, and when he saw Zhan Ge appearing, he pointed and said, "He...... He gave it to me, big brother, you are ......"

The guard kicked the foreman to the ground: "If you still want to lie, I'll arrange for someone to send you away in a while, you...... Tie up, take his place! ”

"Yes!"
