Chapter Forty-Seven: The Wives Chirp
"This old man, his legs and feet are quite neat!"
Watching the old man ride the donkey, Wu Di sighed.
"Wu Gongzi, that's the donkey's running fast, it has nothing to do with the old man's legs and feet!"
Lu San next to him immediately corrected himself, and looked at his donkey, thinking to himself that it is also a donkey, why can people run out of the effect of a horse, but you can't even run out of the effect of a mule?
However, as for why the old man suddenly changed his face and walked away, Wu Di and Lu San could probably guess the reason, I was afraid that they knew that they still dared to come to Xiao Lishan to ask for an account, either they were too fat, or they had a hole in their brains, so they avoided it early.
Because of this, the two of them called him from "old gentleman" to "old man"!
"Wu Gongzi, let's hurry over while Boss Xiao is here?"
Listening to the old man's meaning, Xiao Lishan is not usually here, but he happened to be caught up by them today, so he couldn't miss this opportunity.
Wu Di nodded, but he was not in a hurry, pointed to the back of the mine and said, "This mountain is not big, let's go around and have a look!" ”
Lu San wanted to refute a few words, but Wu Di had already strode forward, so he could only sigh and follow.
………………
The mine is bigger than Wu Di imagined.
The two men walked for a quarter of an hour before they reached the back.
In the back of the mine, there is a large hole in an irregular shape, and many figures enter and exit it.
Needless to say, these figures were naturally miners, and I saw that each of them carried a basket behind them, which was empty when they entered, and full of saltpeter when they came out, and it was heavy, bending their waists, and the steps they took became heavier and heavier.
Seeing this, Wu Di's mood suddenly became heavy.
Living in the previous life, even if you live the worst life, it is countless times better than in ancient times, think about the appearance of various machinery, whether it is the Great Wall or the stretching canal, which is not piled up little by little with the flesh and blood of the common people?
"Plop!"
Just when Wu Di was thinking about it, a thin young man slipped his foot and fell directly to the ground, and the saltpeter in the back basket was sprinkled on the ground!
Perhaps this happened too many times, and none of the miners who came and went in front of the boy stopped, as if they didn't see him, and continued their work.
The boy had not been sitting long on the ground before he put down the basket and began to pick up saltpeter.
Seeing this, Wu Di also helped pick it up together.
Seeing that someone was helping him, the young man raised his head violently, and when he saw Wu Di's clean face, he immediately lowered his head.
"Childe, don't help me, these are dirty!"
said that he was about to come to grab the saltpeter in the hands of Wu Di, but was held down by Wu Di.
"I have two hands and two feet, not more than you, why can't I pick it up if you can pick it up?"
After saying that, Wu Di let go of his hand, picked up the saltpeter and helped him put it in the back basket.
Seeing this, Lu San also hurriedly ran over to help pick it up, and it didn't take long for him to finish picking it up.
When they finished picking it up, they found that there was not too much saltpeter in this basket, so it was a little more than half a basket, but this young man was carrying it so hard, you can imagine how weak his body was.
"Alright, isn't this the end of the pickup!"
Wu Di clapped his hands and said with a smile.
"Thank you, childe......"
The young man's voice was as thin as a mosquito, more feminine than a woman, Lu San next to him glanced at Wu Di, and couldn't help pouting, this is much more chirping than me, why don't you say it?
Wu Di didn't know what Lu San thought, but glanced at the young man, and found that he was half a head shorter than himself, and his body was much thinner than him, so he could understand it without strength.
And he may be because he has been in the saltpeter mine for a long time, his face is full of dust, but he can't hide his beauty, compared to ordinary men, his face is more feminine, and combined with his voice, Wu Di has to think of a word - women disguise themselves as men!
However, as soon as he looked at his chest, Wu Di denied this idea - because this is also too peaceful!
Besides, what girl would be stupid enough to disguise herself as a man to do such physical work?
Hey, it's a pity that this look, if you put it in your own era, just go out and sing and dance rap, the future is immeasurable!
Finding that the boy on the other side had been staring at him, the young man lowered his head again, ready to carry the basket and leave, but the basket was too heavy for him, and he lifted it several times without success.
"What are you still doing? Still not helping? ”
Somehow, seeing such a thin body to carry this kind of thing, Wu Di couldn't bear it, and hurriedly kicked Lu Sanyi.
"Oh......"
Although he was dissatisfied, Lu San obediently helped the young man lift the basket and prepare to put it on his shoulder.
"What to do?"
"Doesn't this help him put the basket on his shoulder......
Hearing Wu Di's questioning, Lu San hurriedly explained.
"Put what! You just have to carry it! ”
“……………”
At this moment, grievances, unwillingness, and anger surged into Lu San's heart at the same time, and then several question marks appeared in his mind.
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?
After thinking about it for a long time, I became even more sad!
I'm just a shopkeeper!
How did you do this kind of bag-carrying work?
He originally wanted to propose a few words to Wu Di, but after thinking about it, what if Wu Di was angry in this wilderness and let him stay here and carry his bag all the time?
Thinking of this, Lu San's legs were weak for a while, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he carried the basket on his back, followed Wu Di and the young man, and walked towards the mansion in front.
………………
"Thank you, childe......"
Wu Di found that this young man didn't seem to be able to say anything other than this.
But Wu Di didn't help him just to say thank you.
He pointed to the mine behind him and asked, "Little brother, it's not easy to dig such a mine, right?" ”
As soon as the young man heard this, his face, which had been a little shy before, instantly became cold!
"It's not easy! I don't know how many resentful souls are buried under this mine! ”
Wu Di nodded, he also thought of this possibility, after all, in the era when there was no blasting technology, if you want to manually dig out such a big hole, without taking some human lives, I am afraid it will not be completed!
(Ask for ......)
