10. Times

But the others couldn't be happy, Shu Han didn't understand at first, and then listened to them complain, and then he knew what they were thinking, compared to carrying ore, mining is definitely a very hard job, according to Shu Han's understanding for a period of time, this pit was in the old world, and it was already in the state of mining.

When the old world was destroyed, it was in a state of abandonment for more than thirty years, and it was not until the establishment of Ironstone City that this mining area was reused, but in fact, in the old world, the mining of this mining area has reached the limit of open-pit mines.

The mining area around the Black Iron City is very different from other places, most of them are mainly excavated underground, this is because the average cultivated land area in the surrounding area is small, if it is open-pit mining, it will reduce the cultivated area, and second, it is open-pit mining, which will cause soil erosion.

The fertile soil around the Black Iron City is scarce, and the barren and desolate land occupies the vast majority, so it is rare to choose open-pit mining, after all, this is tantamount to digging one's own grave, and mining from the ground, the dead are also slaves, what does it have to do with those who make policies, so underground mining is the way of operation in today's mining areas.

Therefore, when the Black Iron City was re-established, the open-pit mine mined by the ancient civilization has been mined, and most of the iron ore in today's pit is excavated from the underground residual veins, compared to the open-pit mining, such work efficiency is undoubtedly very low, and it is also more dangerous, collapse, gas, water leakage and other problems, as long as it is casual, it is possible to instantly carry more than a dozen lives, no one will not be afraid.

Shu Han's heart was also very apprehensive, but after all, this was an opportunity, so compared to the others, he was more excited than apprehensive, but no matter what they thought, happy or unwilling, the overseers would not change them to another job because they didn't want to go, so the next day, everyone took shovels and set off towards the bottom of the pit.

They were already waiting for them, and the overseers grouped the new miners to determine the tunnels they needed to dig, and Schuhan and his roommates were selected to go into the cave with shovels and wheelbarrows, and a comforting helmet on their heads.

There is also a kerosene lamp above Shu Han's head to illuminate, and at the same time detect the oxygen content and chemical gases in the air, if there is an abnormality, the fire will change, which is the only thing that the miners use to save their lives, and when they enter the mine, there is no light except for the fire above their heads, and the environment in the mine is much worse than Shu Han imagined.

The whole mine is less than one meter six or so high, that is, a small man like Shu Han is very difficult, and he must bend over to be able to walk, and the inside of the mine is very narrow, only three people can pass at a time, and ten people walk in it, it will seem very narrow, especially a few tall people, walking in it is already very difficult, not to mention mining, Shu Han simply let them stay outside, mainly responsible for the collection of iron ore.

I took a few people who were not very tall and went into the depths of the mine, and were responsible for mining the ore from the rock wall, and then loading it into a car by someone from the outside and transporting it outside, so that it was faster and easier for others.

"Boss, you really don't want us in?"

Shi Ping opened his mouth and said, after getting along and communicating in the past few days, they have become much more friendly to Shu Han, and peers of about the same age like Shi Ping no longer call names, but open and close their mouths to call the boss, Shu Han was very unaccustomed to listening to it at first, as if he was some kind of underworld hooligan, but many people in the mining area called it that, and Shu Han slowly got used to it.

After all, this is not an ivory tower, and they can call it whatever they like.

"It's too short inside, you can't use your strength to go in, it's better to help with the transportation outside, everyone works together, and the speed can be faster, okay, hurry up and get to work." After Shu Han finished speaking, he took a shovel and began to beat the working surface, bursts of black dust rolled up, and after a while, Shu Han's body was already a piece of rust, black into Kunlun slaves.

Shu Han's decision touched the people in the twelfth dormitory a little, but everyone was not a numb person, so they started working according to Shu Han's order, and when it was time to eat at noon, Shi Ping, Zhu Ze and other tall people gave up one of the steamed buns in their bowls to the miners, and Shu Han smiled after seeing it.

The other people who got the bread were joking with each other, and when they waited until the afternoon, the work continued, this job was quite troublesome and tiring, at the end of the day, it was like running several marathons in a row, Shu Han only felt that the bones in his body were going to fall apart, and what he got was the respect of his roommates.

Lying on the bed, Zhu Ze helped Shu Han rub his sour arm with his hand on the side, and several other people on the other side also helped each other to knock on the uncomfortable places on the body, the whole dormitory was full of iron ore smell, even if everyone took a bath several times, it was difficult to wash off the iron ore crumbs on their bodies, and when the last time came, they could only return to the bed with a body of iron filings and lie down.

Fortunately, at this time, Shu Han was already accustomed to the life of a slave, otherwise he would not have been able to sleep in bed anyway, and now, under Zhu Ze's massage, Shu Han himself didn't know when, he had already fallen asleep, and when he woke up again, it was already the early morning of the next day.

Compared with the people who transport the ore, they who dig the ore, the daily work time will be correspondingly reduced, after all, their work is very hard, even if the mine does not treat slaves as people, they must also take into account the problem of mortality, if there are too many deaths, then they will lose money when they buy these slaves, so in the miners, they are still willing to give some mercy, so that they can have more time to rest, so as not to die after overwork.

After another hard day, lying on the bed, listening to the sound of the people next to him whirring and drinking, Shu Han was really a little desperate, two days of heavy physical work, supporting Shu Han's fragile body still did not fall, it was the desire to find an opportunity, but after two days, Shu Han still couldn't find any good way to solve even a problem, which was too big a blow for him.

"Could it be that I can really only be a slave for the rest of my life, and then buried in obscurity in the nameless pit outside?" Shu Han's heart was very desperate and unwilling, he lay his body on his side in the direction of the wall, closed his eyes and the tears in his eyes were seen by others, he finally established the image of the dormitory director, at least at this moment.

In addition, Shu Han has never been a person who likes to trouble others, everyone has a good relationship now, if their crying is seen by them, it will not be him who will be sad at that time, if he is affected by emotions, it is likely to reduce tomorrow's output, he doesn't want to hurt others because of himself, so he can only shrink in the corner and bury his face in a pillow made of straw to avoid crying being heard by others.

Fortunately, there were no electric lights or candles in the dormitory, it was dark, only the moonlight shone in through the open door, so everyone couldn't see anything wrong with Shu Han, and Shu Han's body was too small, the appearance of a twelve-year-old child, so even if he was sobbing there, Zhu Ze, who got out of bed, didn't feel that in his mind, the most responsible dormitory director was crying on him.

"Dad, Mom, Shu Ming, I miss you so much." Shu Han said in his heart, God, why did you let me come here? Why should I leave the warm home, I want to see my father, I want to see my mother, my brother is just starting to grow up, why, why should I leave them!

Shu Han's mood at the moment gradually collapsed, as long as ten days of slave life, he really couldn't hold on, and after all the people in the dormitory fell asleep, Shu Han finally couldn't help crying, at first he still cried quietly, afraid of waking up his roommates, when he found that they had all fallen asleep, Shu Han no longer hid it, while wiping his tears with his hands, he cried out loudly, and shouted "Dad, Mom." ”

Shu Han really can't stand it, a high school student in the 21st century, who has never been to the ground, has never worked, and the beatings and grievances he has suffered in the past ten days are more than all he has suffered in the seventeen years of modern times, much more, much more, he really can't hold on any longer, he needs to vent.

Crying and crying, exhaustion finally overcame Shu Han's emotions, the moonlight was like a wash, the gentle moonlight shone on Shu Han's body, gradually smoothing the fluctuations and emotions in Shu Han's heart, slowly, looking at the world that was gradually confused, Shu Han closed his eyes and finally fell asleep.

"Young man, young man, are you alright?!"
