Chapter 437: The Miners
An old man was walking this way, and hurriedly took a few steps faster: "Here they are, they are all new, understand, leave them to me, and they will be brought to the mine on time tomorrow." ”
The squad leader nodded: "Old Charles is the leader of this street, you follow him in the future, he will take care of you." ”
Then the team leader was in the "wild people are grateful to Dade and reluctant to see it", Shi Shiran went back, recruited these wild people today, and he can receive a lot of "head pump", hehe really hopes that there will be more such fools, and they will all run out of the mountains and join the city-state.
After the team leader and they left, old Charles looked at these "newcomers" with a somewhat complicated look in his eyes, which seemed to be sympathy, regret, or some pity.
In the end, he just said: "Since you are here, you can work hard in the future, come, I will help you fix the house first." ”
Old Charles beckoned a few able-bodied men to come and help, and one of the lazy ones shouted: "I can't eat enough every day, and I don't have enough strength to go to the mine, how can I still be able to help others work in vain?"
Gong Yu hurriedly said, "Let's take care of the food." He pulled out a grain order.
Old Charles pushed the grain order back, then glared back at the kid: "You forgot our ......" He said the last two words in a very low voice: "Oath?"
But all the people present were professionals, and everyone could hear it clearly. Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and they felt that they had come to the right place this time.
"But they're not really ......"
Halfway through his words, he was sternly interrupted by old Charles: "Shut up! ”
Old Charles was a little angry, and those who wanted to be lazy didn't dare to say anything, so they honestly helped with the work, and finally sorted out the house after dark for everyone to rest and spend the night.
Old Charles looked at everyone and smiled kindly: "You're all hungry, let's go, go to my house for a meal first, and tomorrow you will exchange the rations, and then return the food to me." ”
Everyone wanted to know more about the world, so they didn't refuse.
There was indeed a portrait of the "Great True God" hanging in the old Charles's house, and Chen Gu and Gong Yi exchanged glances and knew it.
The food was really rough and unpalatable, but the old Charles family ate happily - it seems that this stale and hard-to-swallow food, on this planet, is still a "delicacy" specially designed to entertain guests, and they usually eat worse than this.
Old Charles, who was gobbling up, noticed that everyone didn't eat much, and asked suspiciously, "Why don't you eat?" ”
Because I can't eat it.
Chen Gu smiled slightly: "We are full." ”
Old Charles was stunned: "Eat so little? That's not going to work...... Forget it, you'll understand tomorrow, you must eat more in the future, otherwise your body won't be able to resist it......"
Old Charles was quite emotional, chattering and talking, but he didn't dare to say it too clearly because of some scruples.
Chen Gu specially chose a house next to the old Charles's family, and after eating, everyone went back to rest, Chen Gu lay on the bed and adjusted his breathing, slowly becoming even and long - like a normal process of falling asleep.
Then he heard a whisper from next door: "Asleep." ”
"Let's get started."
Immediately afterwards, the sound of the wooden door opening, the believers entered the old Charles's house in turn, followed by a deep chorus, praise, praise, prayer, a whole process.
By this time, Chen Gu was already certain that there must be some ill-intentioned organizers behind this so-called "great true god" sect.
Because according to the intelligence, this sect was formed in only a few years, and most of the naturally formed sects are still exploring and perfecting their own doctrines during this time period.
Even the exact image of the gods has not been determined.
And this sect has a clear specific image of the gods, a well-established organization, and a specific ritual process......
Obviously, all of this was set before the mission.
The whole prayer service took about half an hour, and then everyone got together and whispered about some things about the mining during the day. ”
"A bunch of stupid guys, isn't it good to be free outside, you must get in, use people as cattle and horses, and you don't know when you die."
Old Charles was very religious: "We have a great and true God, sooner or later he will deliver us!" ”
Then, he said: "For them, observe them for a while, and then say, everyone doesn't care, I will be responsible for this matter." ”
"Okay."
It was another half an hour before they dispersed.
Chen Gu and the others were woken up by old Charles knocking on the door very early the next day: "Hurry up, the ox cart is about to leave, and you will be whipped if you are late." ”
It was not yet dawn, but the doors were opened, and people came out in streams, gathering in the alleys, and when they came to the wide streets outside, ox carts were waiting, and everyone sat on them, and the carts creaked out.
When they came back in the evening, they did not have this treatment, when the ox carts were used to pull the ore, and they had to walk back on foot.
It's just such a little convenience, or the miners made trouble a few times, and dozens of people died to get it.
Unfortunately, instead of getting the expected Redstone Mine, they were assigned to another Green Forest Mine.
Old Charles was still very enthusiastic and kind, and said to Chen Gu and the others: "You follow me, it's very hard to work here, don't be reckless if you can't hold on, I will let everyone help you first, but we can't do much, and you still have to rely on yourself in the future." ”
Chen Gu smiled: "Thank you." ”
But once he got to work, Charles Sr. was soon dumbfounded: Are these guys monsters? More than 100 catties of ore in a basket can be easily carried with one hand, and one person can walk like a fly with two baskets!
There was an ox cart in the middle because it pulled too much ore and fell into a mud pit, the old ox panted, hummed and didn't pull it up for a long time, several miners had to push the cart under the urging of the supervisor, but Chen Gu passed by with two baskets of ore, casually put down a basket of ore, and pulled it out of the mud pit with one free hand!
A few miners who were about to push the cart were speechless, they looked back at old Charles and asked with their eyes: What is the origin of this guy?
Old Charles could only shrug his shoulders too, how do I know.
It's good that people don't have to be distracted by us. After all, everyone is working hard.
