7. Flattery
Shu Han didn't dare to slack off, and frantically squeezed in, a few days ago, the weak will to survive made him not eat breakfast for several days, now that he has decided to live, he must start with a full meal, only by taking care of his body, can he have a future at all.
With his thin figure, he took several breads, but before he had time to wait for it to cool, Shu Han stuffed a loaf of bread into his mouth, and the hot taste had the aroma of malt, so that Shu Han only felt that the bread in his mouth was not a simple bread, but like a small cake he had eaten in his previous life.
Tasting the delicious rye bread in his mouth, Shu Han's hands were not satisfied, so he quickly grabbed two loaves of bread and began to squeeze outside, in front of a group of adults, it was simply suffocating to be squeezed by everyone, rushing out of the crowd of snatchers, Shu Han quickly stuffed the bread in his hand into his mouth, so as not to be targeted by others, and at this time, the whole breakfast was almost over, some people ate a round stomach, and some people only got one loaf of bread and ate half full.
"Oh, take it and eat it." Just when Shu Han was chewing the bread in his mouth, a pair of black hands suddenly appeared in front of Shu Han's eyes, Shu Han looked at it, Li You was standing beside him with a loaf of bread, Shu Han hurriedly shook his head and said: Uncle You, I have eaten enough, you can eat it yourself. “
"Enough to eat?" Li You asked suspiciously, seeing Shu Han patting his stomach and making a thumping sound, obviously he was really full, not lying to himself, Li You nodded with some relief, "Yes, people, do you still have to live." While he was in a somewhat complicated mood, he stuffed the rest of the bread into his mouth and followed the others to get the wheelbarrow, while Shu Han pushed his own wheelbarrow and followed the team directly.
Transporting goods from the ground to the surface was a tedious and dangerous job, but this time Shu Han was very serious, constantly observing his surroundings, trying to find a place where he could improve, so that he could get out of this damn place, which made him more serious than before.
The small body walked on the rugged road, many overseers looked at this child looking left and right were a little surprised, the slaves working here, if the face was either numb or obscene and flattering, where like Shu Han, his eyes were full of curiosity, and some overseers felt very unhappy when they looked at it.
Why do you little slave have such a haughty look (in the eyes of this overseer, the curiosity in Shuhan's eyes is a sign of pride)? What kind of thing is it?
He was about to come forward to teach Shu Han a good lesson, but was stopped by another overseer on the side, who was the chief supervisor who handed his token to Shu Han the day before, Wang Lie.
"Captain, what kind of eyes does this kid have, looking around, do you think he is thinking about running away?" Seeing this, the overseer couldn't help but show a flattering smile on his face, this Wang Lie is also a legendary figure among their overseers, at the age of thirty, he has achieved this position, he is the youngest of all the overseers today, and it is said that he still has some relationship with the mine owner, and he doesn't know if it's true or not.
"Escape, this place, who can run out, do you look up to him, or look down on yourself." Wang Lie squinted at his subordinates, and the little brother who patted the horse's leg realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing, and after laughing twice, he hurriedly took his leave, ready to take a good breath of the bird that Wang Lie received.
Wang Lie looked at Shu Han's eyes, the expression on his face couldn't help but be a little playful, he slowly walked into Shu Han, Shu Han saw him approaching, quickly bowed, and said, "Master Overseer." “
"Well, what about the strips of cloth on you? Demolished? Wang Lie looked at Shu Han's thin body and said with a condescending attitude.
"Yes, the villain is already well, thank you for saving your life, the villain will remember it for a lifetime, and the next life." Saying that, Shu Han put the cart aside, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wang Lie, and kept chanting silently in his heart, forbearance with a knife on his head, if he can't bear it at this time, it will be more difficult to figure out the future, kneel down.
Anyway, he is a slave now, and he still thinks of himself as a person, his dignity is earned by himself, not by the mercy of others, and now that he has no ability to change his own experience, he can only endure it temporarily.
"What were you looking at?" Wang Lie didn't have too many thoughts about these slaves, he just felt that they were ants, but Shu Han was different, and Wang Lie couldn't tell what was different about Shu Han, but he felt that in this day-to-day work, there was suddenly an extra variable, which made him a little interested.
Of course, this interest is like a child seeing ants moving in rows before the rain, and a lively slave suddenly appears in the numb crowd, and Wang Lie's attitude is still high, as if he is the master of all beings.
"Back to the overseer, I've been looking for you, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have been thrown in the mass grave, your great kindness, the villain is unforgettable, even if you are a cow and a horse, it is difficult to repay the adult." Shu Han said all the words that he thought of in his previous life about repaying Engong and other fleshy words, and he hoped to attract Wang Lie's attention through this method.
For Shu Han, judging from his observations in the past few days, it is very difficult to find a way to leave the mine, with his current knowledge level and the current scientific and technological situation, and the people's hearts are sinister, and the world is evil.
I'm just a slave now, not to mention if there are any laws in this place? There is no concept of patent, just this identity of oneself has shown that no matter what kind of achievements one has made, one does not have any personal property rights before he is free from the status of a slave.
In this situation, if he rashly listened to the so-called agreement and told him what he might be able to come up with, Shu Han felt that he might indeed be able to leave the mine, but he would just lie down and go out, so when he saw Wang Lie, Shu Han had already made up his mind that he must first get acquainted with the supervisors here, and it was best to understand some of the preferences or habits of the mine boss.
Only in this way can you guarantee that the other party will keep its promise, after all, this agreement has been made decades ago, and the life span of human beings in this era does not seem to have been extended much, on the contrary, many people's life expectancy has changed under the change of the earth's environment, which has become much shorter, who knows if the owner of this mine is still the one who made the rules, or is it his child, or the mine has changed hands?
As for why it was him, the reason was very simple, the overseer he knew was only Wang Lie, and among all the overseers, he was the only one who was willing to talk to the slaves, and the other overseers were indifferent to the slaves.
Shu Han thought to himself that maybe he was new and hadn't adapted to the situation here, otherwise a slave would be injured, and the overseer's approach should be to wait for him to die, and then throw it out, where would he untie his waist card and then save these slaves?
This at least shows that he has the most basic conscience, and the second point is that through yesterday's contact, Shu Han can at least be sure that Wang Lie's IQ is not particularly high, of course, it can't be completely said that Wang Lie is a kind person, so when he faced a slave who deceived him, he didn't see through the lie and deal with smart people, which was too difficult for Shu Han.
Because he himself is not a smart person in the first place, especially in terms of human feelings, compared to the old sparrows and old fritters in society, it is really impossible for him to win against them, this is determined by social experience, not to mention that most of his life is in the era of peace, and this is a naked jungle society, even if an adult comes here, I am afraid it is difficult to deal with the people here, let alone a high school student.
Therefore, Shu Han would rather choose a stupid one, this is a bad thing at most, life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky, Shu Han also admits it, but if he chooses a smart one, he may take risks desperately, and in the end he made someone else's wedding dress, which Shu Han can't accept, so he chooses Wang Lie.
As for the third reason, from his observation, Wang Lie does not seem to be simply a supervisor, and the other supervisors will have a more respectful attitude when facing Wang Lie, and even the doctor was stunned for a moment when he saw Wang Lie's nameplate.
And Shu Han dared to conclude this, because yesterday when he and Lin Bida were walking around the overseers' dormitory, when someone came to ask them, Wang Lie's nameplate could solve those people's doubts, which obviously showed that Wang Lie had a high status among the overseers, and Shu Han judged that he should be the chief of the overseers or a more famous person.
The above three points are the reasons why Shu Han chose Wang Lie.
When he saw Wang Lie today, Shu Han didn't want to come up and lick it, he was a slave, Wang Lie was a supervisor, and the status and class between the two people were very different, not to mention climbing, it was very difficult to talk to each other, but he didn't expect Wang Lie to take the initiative to find him, which made Shu Han realize that this might be an opportunity, so he changed his words, in fact, he was just observing, if there was anything that could be improved, but when he said it, he was looking for Wang Lie, hoping to repay the favor.
He was already a slave, Shu Han simply let go, he lowered his head, but almost put his whole heart on Wang Lie's body, hoping that he could respond to him.
And hearing the praise of the slave in front of him, Wang Lie said that it was false to be uncomfortable, everyone likes to listen to other people's sycophants, Wang Lie is no exception, although as a supervisor, and a small leader in the overseer, the flattery he hears on weekdays can be transported by wheelbarrow, but Wang Lie also knows that those people are just to boast of themselves, and make up lies.
But Shu Han is different, he feels that he has indeed helped the slave in front of him, this kind of pleasure of getting thanks for helping others (although he himself is a troublemaker), in the mine, Wang Lie is difficult to experience, so Shu Han bet right, in the face of this sycophant with the nature of gratitude, Wang Lie listened very happily, he said:
"Haha, you little slave, your mouth is quite sweet, I don't need you to be a cow and a horse for me, just work hard, go ahead." After Wang Lie finished speaking, he left, Shu Han waited for Wang Lie to go away, then he got up from the ground, his eyes could not hide the loss, he originally wanted to say some more words to show his loyalty, hoping to get the opportunity to get close to the overseer, but he didn't expect the other party to leave directly.
Shu Han didn't know, it was too much, the sycophant he inadvertently made just now was just the right benefit, if he said a few more words, he would annoy Wang Lie.
