The challenge was finally achieved, and it was not Chen Mu who took the initiative to speak, which also gave Chen Mu some advantages, if Chen Mu took the initiative to speak, then the motive would be too obvious, but it would attract suspicion.

It was also thanks to François who took the initiative to buy time for Chen Mu to rest and recover.

This time is very precious for Chen Mu, because there is still a battle ahead.

However, Chen Mu did not plan to rest immediately.

The servants of the consulate began to place the wounded, clean up the scene.

The Bone Crusher and the Viking Pirates were the first to be carried out, and when this Bone Crusher, who was once regarded as a god-killer, was carried past Chen Mu, he suddenly raised his head, pointed at Chen Mu, and screamed with horror in his eyes.

"Ghosts! He's a ghost! An apostle of death! ”

Everyone knew what was going on, and seeing this, it was inevitable to stay away from Chen Mu, although Chen Mu's intention to accept the challenge was unbearable, but it could not negate his ability because of this.

Prussiantown, Baptiste and others also came over, and they didn't have so much fear of Chen Muke.

Chen Mu smiled at Baptiste and asked, "Mr. Baptiste, did you bet on me to win?" ”

Baptiste laughed embarrassedly twice, Chen Mu also shook his head, but at this time, Mrs. Baptiste covered her mouth and smiled: "My dear, don't worry, I have already changed your signing order, and we are the only winners this time!" ”

"Really? That's great! I love you so much, my sweetheart! Baptiste was also overjoyed, and kissed his beautiful wife.

Although he was used to seeing it, Chen Mu was a little shy in the end, so he turned around, and at this time he saw that the servants were supporting Sun Youlin and Chu Tongcheng and others.

Chen Mu walked over, squatted next to the stretcher, and asked Sun Youlin, "Why do you want to help me?" ”

Chen Mu also asked knowingly, these people helped Chen Mu, naturally because of Chen Mu's promise to them, as long as they helped Chen Mu to win, they could join Hong Shuntang!

However, Chen Mu still needs to confirm their attitude, which is indispensable.

Sun Youlin didn't open his eyes, as if to avoid embarrassment, and after a while, he seemed to sink into the ocean of memory, and said softly.

"When I was young, my family was very poor, and my mother was sick again, so in order to save my mother's life, she sold me to Yingde to carry the mine ......"

"Many children in the mine are the same size as me, and they are like dogs, covered in mineral powder and mixed with sweat, just like the rotten statues in the temple......"

Xu Shishi experienced the moment of life and death, and his memory inevitably flashed out, and Xu was expressing his posture to Chen Mu, and he actually said heart-to-heart words to Chen Mu.

"There was a supervisor in the mine, who was a very evil man, who was often beaten and scolded, and the whips were soaked in salt water, and he was drawn on his body, and he pulled out his mouth, and it hurt so badly that he was extremely hungry and sleepy, and he had to sell twelve points of strength, or he would have to eat the whip......

Thinking of this, even with his eyes closed, Sun Youlin still tightened his eyebrows, like a person who was immersed in a nightmare and wanted to wake up desperately.

"Of course, it's the same everywhere in this world, there are bad people, and naturally there are good people."

"There is an uncle in the mine, everyone calls him the second uncle, he is a fireman in the kiln, more slippery than a loach, often teaches us how to be lazy, how to find food, and teaches us to roll in the mud pit a few times like a pig cub before going to the mine, the mud is dry on the body, and the whip does not hurt when it comes down......"

Although Chen Mu often heard his brother talk about the dangers of the rivers and lakes, and often heard some interesting battles in the market, he had never heard of this kind of struggle at the bottom, and he had no feelings in his heart.

The foreigner wanted to come over to carry Sun Youlin, but the latter waved his hand and asked the foreigner to go to treat the other wounded first, and continued to say to Chen Mu.

"Although my family is poor, my father is an upright person, always taught me not to play tricks, to be honest, and I am a clean person, so I didn't roll the mud puddle...... Besides, the overseer is not blind, and if he plays such a trick, he will be beaten even more......"

Chen Mu inevitably nodded approvingly, revealing appreciative eyes: "You did the right thing." ”

Sun Youlin snorted: "Yes, yes, I later found out that the overseer did not let those people scrape off the mud on their bodies, but beat me harder and harder......"

Chen Mu frowned, and he was disgusted with this overseer in his heart.

"This is a good horse and a good man rides, and a good man is bullied......"

Sun Youlin shook his head again: "Not really, the overseer asked me one day, saying do you know why he beat you?" ”

"I didn't want to answer, but the overseer said, this world has been rotten like this, there is no ability to beat people, you must practice the ability to be beaten, you can be beaten, in order to live longer, if you are careful, maybe you can learn how to wield a whip, if you are beaten too much, you can beat people in the future......"

"What kind of crooked reasoning is this......" Although he said so, Chen Mu had an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he always felt that the words of the overseer were not all wrong.

Sun Youlin seemed to be able to feel Chen Mu's mood changes, and said to Chen Mu: "That's right, I also thought it was crooked at first, but then I gradually understood. ”

"After three years in the mine, the backs of those who rolled in the mud pit gradually rotted, because they had been beaten with whips, and their wounds were stained with mud, and many of them had rotten sores, and they didn't need to be beaten by the overseers, and gradually they rotted to death...... I'm the only ...... Still alive, still being beaten......"

"The wound on my back never healed, but the skin and bones gradually hardened......

"I began to persuade the new children not to go to the mud pit, some listened, some did not, the obedient ones stayed with me, and the disobedient ones continued to mix with the second uncle......"

"The second uncle burned the kiln in the mine for more than 20 years, constantly teaching people to be lazy, teaching people to find food, teaching people how to live in cruel days, in the eyes of others, he is a good person, but those who listened to him, came and died, and few could survive...... But there are more and more brothers left behind by me......"

"Finally, one day, I felt that I had the ability not to be beaten anymore, so I united with these brothers, sharpened the blade with ore, and attacked the overseer barracks at night!"

Chen Mu listened silently, feeling that his whole body was hot, hot blood was surging on his head, and goosebumps kept popping up!

"Success?" In fact, there is no need to think about it, if it fails, Sun Youlin is afraid that he will not be able to live until now.

"Yes, we succeeded."

"These overseers are evil, and the brothers killed several of them, but I left the overseer alive."

"Why?" Chen Mu was puzzled, because Sun Youlin was a decisive person, how could he stay alive?

"Because he taught me how to survive, how could I have done this great thing without his words?"

Chen Mu was also silent, and after a long time, he continued to ask: "What happened later?" ”

"Later, he asked me what I was going to do next, and it won't be long before someone will come, and none of us will be able to run away by then."

"I asked him, what should I do......

Chen Mu couldn't cry or laugh, it stands to reason that how could the overseer tell Sun Youlin?

But Sun Youlin said: "He told me that it is like being beaten, you have to continue to endure, you can endure, you can turn over, you have to live like a humble dog, and finally you can raise your head and be a lion and tiger......"

"I said, I know, then I'll run for my life first, run away."

"But the overseer said that there is no way to escape, and the mud pit is also an escape, and in the end, isn't it all rotten to death?"

"I asked him, what should I do?"

"He said, if you can't escape, then join them, like them, wave the whip and whip the others!"

"I was like you now, I was speechless, but I finally said, I attacked the Overseer Camp, how could they take me?"

"The overseer smiled and said, you are still smart to him, they really won't accept you, but one day, they will take you."

"And then?"

"And then? Yes...... Then I kept running away, taking these brothers with me, and on the way to escape, I kept collecting many brothers, and every brother who came in was indispensable to eat my whip, but also got my reason......"

Chen Mu also sighed a little in his heart, and asked Sun Youlin, "So you finally joined their ranks?" ”

Sun Youlin finally opened his eyes and said to Chen Mu: "I can't add it, they have already fallen, and there is only one young master left, who is a gentleman in the foreigner circle, almost beating people to death, and saying that he wants to accept us people......"

Chen Mu's body stiffened suddenly, and the whole person was stunned!

In his impression, although Hong Shuntang is not a legitimate hall, but he will not do things that hurt heaven and reason, if he really wants to sit down, he would rather believe that the second uncle of the kiln is a person from Hong Shuntang, how can he not think that the supervisor is actually a person from Hong Shuntang!

He knew that Hong Shuntang had a lot of industries, mainly shipping, etc., and there were indeed some private mines in Yingde and other places, but he never expected that the story would end like this!

Sun Youlin looked at Chen Mu and asked a little playfully: "So, my young master, you should tell me, if we join, will you whip us, or teach us to roll the mud pit?" ”

Chen Mu took a breath lightly, looked at Sun Youlin, didn't know how to speak, and after a long time, he said to Sun Youlin.

"Maybe for you, it's a mine, but for me, it's home, I just want to find a home, you don't want to join, I won't stop you when you leave, you want to take revenge, the father and the son will pay off, I will take it all, and promise not to be soft."

"But if you really want to join, I'll treat you as part of this family, without whips and mud pits, as brothers."

"Brother? Do you think it's possible? As if he had heard some joke, Sun Youlin couldn't help but laugh loudly.

Chen Mu's eyes turned cold, and he replied seriously: "Why is it impossible!" Don't tell me, you are desperate to help me, just to look down on foreigners, as long as you are willing, we are brothers! ”

Chen Mu became excited, and stretched out his right hand towards Sun Youlin, looking forward to Sun Youlin reaching out in the same way and holding it with him!

However, Sun Youlin glanced at Chen Mu as if he had seen an idiot, then closed his eyes and let the foreigners carry him away.

Chen Mu's hand was still frozen in mid-air, and he couldn't speak for a long time, but at this time, a stretcher was carried over, and the person on the stretcher was covered in blood, stretched out a hand, and held Chen Mu's hand!

Chu Tongcheng was seriously injured, and he didn't know if he heard the conversation between Sun Youlin and Chen Mu, at this moment, he didn't have any words, just held Chen Mu's hand, although he quickly let go, but Chen Mu had already got the answer he wanted.
