"Okay, everyone is here," said Lao Bing.

So the eight people got into the carriage in turn, and Xian Ze was among them, and with Lao Bing's shouting, the carriage started.

Xian Ze looked at the seven people in the car, they were also looking at Xian Ze, and the big guys were silent.

However, judging from the clothes, they are all the same poor families as Xianze, some are old, some are young, and some are middle-aged.

A child of the same age as Xian Ze broke the silence first, and he said, "Uncle Bing, where are we going, looking at the scenery outside the window, we should have already left the city, right?"

Lao Bing coughed and then said, "Of course, the mining area is outside the city, of course you have to go out of the city." ”

"Are we going to mine?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Nonsense, otherwise how do you think the high wages came from. After Lao Bing finished speaking, everyone was silent.

Everyone was thinking about themselves, and Senzawa was no exception, although he had long guessed that he would be tired from work, but he also didn't expect to mine.

A big man with a meaty face scolded and scolded: "This broken car is crowded and dangling, I didn't come up if I knew it." ”

Lao Bing angrily reprimanded: "If you make any more noise, I will throw you down, this is already outside the city, and some wild beasts come to greet you." ”

The big man immediately shut up, of course, everyone's purpose is to make money, there is no need for direct conflict.

But this carriage is indeed swaying enough, where is it going?

Finally, after an hour or two of brisk driving, the car finally stopped.

Lao Bing said: "You wait first, I'll say a few words to the mine manager, and I'll do a job registration procedure for you." ”

Lao Bing jumped out of the carriage and talked to a man in a military uniform and a hard hat, and then both of them laughed.

Then Lao Bing beckoned the driver to let them get out of the car, and eight people followed.

After getting out of the car, I finally saw the appearance of the mine manager, he had a mustache and a lewd face.

The mine manager's voice was very high, and he said in a strange manner: "When you come here, you have to obey the management, everyone works hard, and the salary promised to you will not be less, do you understand?"

I don't know why, there was no majesty at all when such words came out of his mouth, but everyone agreed with great cooperation.

"Come with me", after the mine manager finished speaking, everyone followed into the mine.

After a few words of explanation between the mine manager and the person in charge, everyone received their own tools and divided the area to work.

Each area has guards in charge of overseeing it, and anyone who is lazy will be whipped.

He felt that although he was a little tired, he had a high salary, so he would ask for leave and go out and give the money to his sister, so that his sister could live better.

But for some reason, he felt that the atmosphere around him was very dull, and many people were blind, as if they were walking corpses.

However, he could not take care of others, and since it was the first day of work, he worked very hard, and in a short time he mined more than others.

"Ding Ding Ding", three bells rang, everyone stopped the work at hand and lined up, he also learned to line up, it turned out to be dinner time, but except for him, everyone just lined up mechanically.

When it was his turn, he received three steamed buns, a bowl of hot soup, he ran to the side to eat it with satisfaction, you must know that steamed buns are not easy to eat, there are steamed buns to eat at every meal here, and there are high wages to take, think about it is a burst of excitement.

When they were almost finished, the bell rang again, and everyone picked up their tools and started working again, and with the replenishment of food, Xian Ze worked very energetically.

I don't know how long I worked, but when the third bell rang, everyone returned their tools and walked out of the mine in line.

Because I have been knocking all day, now the whole head is the sound of chiseling.

After the dormitory was allocated, everyone entered their respective tents, and it was naturally not very good to live in this place, and he didn't think too much about it when he lived in a tent of more than a dozen people, after all, he came out to work, not to enjoy happiness.

After a few days of continuous work, he also got acquainted with the people in the tent.

It turned out that everyone had just been here for a short time, and I wanted to ask if the salary was a monthly payment or something, but everyone didn't know very well.

Obviously, it's not very free in this mine, but it won't starve you to death, it's just that everything seems so unreal.

After the tenth day, a newcomer came, his name was Lin Hu, and he was arranged in Xianze's dormitory, he was the same age as Xianze, so he was called Ah Hu by the people in the dormitory.

When he was working during the day, Ah Hu kept observing him, even staring at him when he was eating, which made Xian Ze feel uncomfortable, and it lasted for several days.

Tonight, Ah Hu woke up Xian Ze, he looked at Ah Hu in surprise, Ah Hu made a shushing gesture, and then motioned for Xian Ze to go out with him.

When they got out, they hid behind a rock, and Ah Hu said, "We were all deceived. ”

Xian Ze looked at him inexplicably and said, "What do you mean?"

Ah Hu said: "I came here to find my father, my father has not been back for more than a year, and I received news that my father went with a guy named Lao Bing. ”

"I found this guy and was brought here, you must be curious why I'm staring at you, because I feel like you and I are the same kind of people, and I hope the two of us can work together to get out of here. ”

"I also found my uncle in this mine, and my uncle told me everything here, so I had this plan in the works for a few days. ”

With a "hum", Xian Ze, who heard the news, felt that the world was spinning, he couldn't believe that it was true, what did he leave his sister to run out for.

He said weakly: "I don't believe it, you lied to me." ”

"I don't lie to you, you take a closer look at the old workers who stayed here, they have become a walking corpse, and only you still retain your enthusiasm, I hope the two of us can get out alive together, don't be blinded by lies. ”

"The reason why the newcomers are arranged to live together is that they are afraid that the newcomers will know the truth, anyway, after working for a month, you will not get a penny, and you will not even be able to meet the mine manager. ”

"Who's where", a patrol with a torch approached.

Ah Hu hurriedly stood up to block Xian Ze, covered his stomach and smiled: "Sir, it's convenient for me to have a stomachache."

Due to the dark weather, he didn't take a closer look, and then said with a disgusted face: "Go back quickly when it's convenient, and leave after speaking."

As soon as Xian Ze recovered from this news, he nodded weakly, and then said, "I listen to you." ”

Ah Hu said: "I don't know the exact location of this place, but I lost some rags along the way, we can follow the mark to go back, but on the way you will encounter some beasts in the mountains and forests, but it will not be worse than if we stay here." ”

"The plan starts tomorrow, I've figured it out in the past few days, this mine changes every three hours a day, and the patrols are all for show, we just need to escape while they are slack, but the next is the most dangerous, because we have to face the unknown forest and crazy pursuers. ”

Although Xian Ze has no culture, he has a feeling of admiration for Ah Hu, maybe out of awe of the strong, if it were him, would he choose to escape?

"Then what about your uncle?" asked Xianze.

Ah Hu said calmly: "I don't know which tent he is, it's too risky to find him, and the fewer people there are, the greater the chance of escaping, I will return here in the future, and when I come back here, I will rescue my uncle."

Ye Xianze asked, "Why did you choose me and not others?" ”

Ah Hu said: "You are too stupid, too naïve, too easy to trust others, but it is a person like you, I trust it the most." ”

Xian Ze said angrily, "What did you say?"

Ah Hu motioned for him to whisper, and finally said: "Avoid unnecessary conflicts, and only remember the three words 'live' in your heart." ”
