Chapter 50: Spirit Stone Field
After coming to Quancheng, Hate Feng and Gu Yizhou went straight to the spirit stone field outside the city.
Within Yaskawa, if a spiritual cultivator wants to improve his cultivation, he can accumulate cultivation all year round, or he can use some tools to improve his cultivation.
The spirit stone field here is built on the Red Moon Mountain Range, which is specially used to mine the spirit stones in the mountain range and use them to forge magic weapons for improving cultivation.
Most of the workers here are strong men from nearby villages, who come here to make a living, and occasionally you can see women among them, but it is not easy to survive to undertake such heavy work.
Along the way, you can see the endless stone carts, carried by two strong men one after the other, carried down from the mountain road.
In order not to be noticeable, Ha Feng and Gu Yizhou bought two sets of overalls at the foot of the mountain, and after changing them, they applied some plaster to their faces, which looked no different from the workers here.
They took a carriage up the mountain, filled with women and children from the village, each holding a package or two wrapped in some bacon from the family, or made a few new clothes and shoes to subsidize the family members who worked here.
There were a lot of fine stone ballasts falling on the side of the road, and the wheels rubbed over them, and the sound of friction was heard.
The driver was an old man over half a hundred years old, he was also a worker in the Lingshi Farm before, but when he got older, he didn't have enough strength, so he got a carriage here, and specially pulled the villagers who went up the mountain to see their relatives.
But today, it was just after noon, and he had already pulled seven full cars, and before that, it was already a good business to be able to pull two full cars a day.
And it's really strange that everyone is very eye-catching.
The horses pulling the cart are so tired that they have to pay more to go up, usually two cents per person, but now they cost five cents.
After Gu Yizhou and Ha Feng paid for the car, they came to the spirit stone mining area on the top of the mountain with a bumpy road.
They got out of the car with them, in addition to a few women, and three young men, who looked exceptionally strong, with a cloth bag hanging from their waists, and their eyes were extremely sharp, and as soon as they got out of the car, they scanned the surroundings, as if they were observing something.
Hate Wind was a little strange, and after looking at them twice, he found that they were walking towards the west side of the Spirit Stone Field, where there was a mine cave, and there was no bottom.
The place where the wind was going, on the east side of the mountain, opposite to their direction, did not go with them.
On the east side, there is a wooden stake fence, which encloses the workers' living quarters, and they are all simple houses made of wood, which are scattered and connected into patches.
Hate Wind crouched down and carved the mark of the Jackdaw Gate Sun Protector on a stake.
Gu Yizhou asked on the side, "Where are you going next?"
Hate Wind stood up, patted the sawdust on his hands, and looked around, to see that the house was divided into two sides by a two-person wide road, and there was a shop next to the road, and a sign with the words "Groceries" hanging at the door.
There was a little boy in front of the grocery store, about five or six years old, with a towel wrapped around his head and a very old set of clothes.
He stood at the door of the shop, stared straight at the hated wind, glanced at the mark she had carved a few times, then pointed to the shop beside him, turned around, and disappeared.
"Let's go to the store. ”
With that, she came directly to the door of the store, and Gu Yizhou followed by her side.
There are some bottles and cans on the wooden cabinet in the store, and a middle-aged woman in green is holding an abacus and calculating something, looking sideways at the booklet while looking back to plan the plate.
After hearing the voice of the comer, she didn't raise her head, just half-squatted down, took a piece of straw paper, put it directly on the table, and pushed it in front of the hated wind.
Hate Feng took the paper, it was densely filled with words, as if there were some patterns drawn, and before she could look closely, she heard the woman in green whisper, "Hurry up." ”
Hate Wind immediately crumpled the paper in his hand into a ball, turned it into a cloud of green smoke, put it into the space hub, and whispered back thank you.
As soon as the two of them stepped out of the shop, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
A hidden weapon pierced through the wooden window, and the speed was extremely fast, and before they could react, there was already a bloody hole in the neck of the woman in green.
She fell to the ground, blood pouring from her neck, a dazzling red.
Gu Yizhou hurriedly ran to her side and picked her up, but found that the pulse had stopped and the person was dead.
The hated wind immediately chased out, there were many houses here, and the doors were closed, and I didn't know that the secret weapon came from that room.
She immediately jumped onto the roof, just in time to see a man in black hurrying out of the wooden fence and towards the mine on the west side.
The hated wind immediately jumped up, and she wanted to chase after her, but when she thought of this, she was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so she fell from the roof to the ground and strode towards the direction of the man in black.
didn't run a few steps, Gu Yizhou behind had already caught up, his light skills were excellent, stepping on the ground, as light as a swallow picking water.
He asked, "See who did it?"
A man in black ran towards the mine. ”
He nodded, sped up his pace, and was soon gone.
When Hate Wind chased him to the entrance of the cave, he didn't see where Gu Yizhou was.
There are people guarding this place, not allowing outsiders to enter, especially after seeing that Hate Wind is a woman, and they don't let her get close to here.
Do you want to break in?
Hate Feng thought in his heart what method he should use to get in.
A clear male voice suddenly came from behind her: "Sister Zhang, why are you still here, go down and work." ”
This voice sounded very familiar, and she immediately turned around, and when she saw the comer, she was speechless in surprise.
The person in front of her was very familiar, she stared at the outline on his face, and recalled it carefully, it turned out to be Ah Sheng!
He is also wearing overalls, which is completely different from when they met before, but the demeanor between his demeanor has not changed.
Seeing that Hate Feng didn't speak, Qin Huaisheng smiled and said, "You just came here, you don't know the rules, and I don't blame you, okay, I'll take you there." He said to the person blocking the road, "Ah Si, this is a new female worker from the East Third Team, she just arrived today, and she doesn't know much about the rules." If you are in a hurry to employ people, you can be accommodating. ”
The man said helplessly: "There is no such person in the workers' book, how can I let in at will." ”
Qin Huaisheng immediately took out a few strings of copper plates from his sleeve, handed them over, and said with a smile: "Take it, buy some good wine." ”
The man scratched his scalp, took two steps forward, sideways to block Qin Huaisheng's money, immediately received it in his arms, and then glanced sideways, telling them to leave quickly if they wanted to leave.
Hate Wind immediately entered the mine with Qin Huaisheng.
At that time, the hated Feng family was ruined and lived on the streets, and she had asked distant relatives in Zongcheng for help, but they were all turned away from afar.
It is said that blood is thicker than water, but when the catastrophe comes, everyone just wants to save themselves and doesn't want to cause trouble.
She wandered all the way, and Ah Sheng was the only one who wanted to help her without asking for anything in return, perhaps because he had saved him from the Tianhuo Gang.
Hate Wind remembered the handwritten letter she had left at the Jackdaw Inn, which was written by Ah Sheng himself, and she didn't want her own affairs to affect him, so she left the letter in the inn.
But I never thought that the two would meet again.
