Volume 1 The Honorable Viscount Chapter 42 Mr. Wyant is a good man
[Wyante and Bai Ya, the powerful CP, are officially launched, and friends who like it will support Qinghe, thank you!]
"My lord, I don't think it's so troublesome to deal with this fat pig, I'm willing to serve you, I promise it will be done properly. ”
After Wyant left, the remaining attendant whispered that he felt that the middle-aged man was too cautious, and that it would be easy to kill someone in the mines, regardless of who the other person was.
The middle-aged man saw the determination and loyalty of the attendant but did not express it, he had his own reasons, but he couldn't share them with others.
"Kante, I know you're loyal, and I believe in your abilities, but I've already made arrangements for Wyante, and I don't want you to assert yourself, understand?"
"My lord, I see. Although he was unwilling, Kante did not dare to disobey the other party.
"You have to understand my distress, Lord Viscount, though he is moody and behaves very eccentricly, but I swear, his eyes have been fixed on this place, and no wind can escape his eyes, do you think he has really given up on his butler. ”
"Don't let what you see on the surface affect your judgment, or you will die without a place to be buried. The middle-aged man said meaningfully that he was still quite optimistic about Kante, and he didn't want the other party to do something stupid.
"Don't worry, my lord, I understand. Kante assured earnestly, but in his heart he admired the vision of the middle-aged man even more.
"It's good to understand, okay, go out and do things, don't let people disturb me. ”
"Yes, sir. Kante saluted respectfully, then slowly exited the room.
Wyante, who had left the house before, brought indelible joy to the mines, and those two white slices of meat always made people find many jokes to tell.
From the initial red-faced and red-eared red at a loss, gradually, Wyante gave up on himself, no longer trying to hide it, but he still couldn't help but scold those who laughed at him.
It was okay to meet the slaves, but they only laughed at Wyante's angry scolding, and if they met the steward, they would inevitably receive a few lashes.
"Nine thousand two hundred and five, come and get your things. ”
"That bastard definitely did it on purpose, how can there be such an identity card. Hearing his number, Wyant hated the middle-aged man even more.
After receiving his bamboo basket and iron pickaxe, Wyant followed the steward to a mine with a few blood-red whip marks on his body.
The entrance of the cave is about three meters high, and the inside is gloomy and damp, and the pungent smell is disgusting, the steward stopped, pointed to the mine and said: "This is the No. 3 mine, you can go in and work, you must mine more than 30 catties of fire copper every day, otherwise you will bear the consequences!"
"How is this possible. Hearing that thirty catties of fire were to be mined every day, Wyante dared not speak in anger, and could only mutter, he was very afraid of the whip in the other party's hand.
"That's your business, alright, get in!" the steward kicked Wyant impatiently, and the other man staggered into the mine.
The dimly lit cave was cold and damp, and the stench in particular was so terrible that Wyant was half-dead before he could get to work.
Ding, ding, clanging.
There was a sound of percussion in the depths of the mines, and Wyant had never been to the mines, let alone participated in them, but he knew that there was a flint stone from which to refine the Flame Stone, which was a good material for forging weapons.
As the name suggests, if the human skin is exposed to it for a long time, it will corrode, and the mild ones will be painful and ulcerating, and the severe ones will be directly poisoned to death.
Generally, ten catties of flint can be refined into one catty of fiery copper, and for Wyante, he must dig out more than three hundred catties of ore every day.
For him, a fat man of more than three hundred pounds, this is an impossible task, and the flint stone will not obediently stay there waiting for you to dig, it is generally wrapped in rock layers and needs to be excavated with an iron pickaxe.
There is also an unwritten rule that slaves in the mines can snatch other people's flint stones, and for this reason there are many fights, and as long as no one is killed, the one in charge will not be punished.
Wyante walked fearfully towards the depths of the mine, where the height was almost three meters or more, and the further inside went, the more spacious it became, and at regular intervals a basin-sized oil lamp hung on the top, providing a dim glow.
I don't know how long I walked, but Wyant saw an oncoming slave, who was as thin as wood and smelled of foul smell, and he carried a basket full of flint stones.
Bang!
Wyant was thinking about waiting for the other to come over, and ask him about the depths of the mine, when suddenly, a piece fell and fell and hit the walking slave impartially, he was so unlucky that the stone smashed his head directly.
The red and white things splattered, his body convulsed and fell to the ground, a basket full of flowing flints scattered all over the ground, and in the dim light, several figures quickly appeared, and in a moment they divided the flintstones.
"Mom, what the hell is this place? ”
Wyante wanted to cry without tears, he was almost frightened, even if he shouted that his throat was useless, if he wanted to live, he could only pray that he would complete the mining of thirty catties of fire tongs every day, and at the same time ensure that he would not be found by the flying calamity.
Kneam, knort.
After finally reaching the depths of the mine, Wyant saw many slaves digging for flint in the rock layers, and they were busy and in full swing.
No one will pay attention to this rookie fat man who has just arrived, he wants to live here, there is still a lot to learn, and hardships are inevitable.
Seeing that there were slaves all around, Wyant did not dare to rush forward, he was afraid that he would be attacked, so he found a damp corner and walked over.
There were few slaves around, and Wyant put down the basket and for the first time in his life picked up an iron pickaxe and tried to smash it into the rocks.
Dang!
Feeling a tingling sensation in his hand, Wyant realized that the rock formations here were not at all capable of being chiseled by his own strength.
"What's going on?"
Wyant was anxious, and he could see why it had become so difficult for the other slaves to dig the rocks with ease.
"You can't mine ore here, the rocks are so hard that you have to change places. ”
At this moment, a weak female voice came.
Wyant then realized that not far from him there was a little girl alone, and as he looked at the other, the little girl was also looking at him.
"It's you!"
Wyante was a little surprised, he knew the other party, wasn't this Bai Ya, who came here one step earlier than him, and saw a slightly familiar person in an unfamiliar environment, he couldn't help but walk over.
"I saw you in the morning, you're Mr. Wyant, why are you here too. Bai Ya was a little surprised, and asked in a trembling voice, it could be seen that she was very weak, her body was dirty, and there were obviously many new scars.
"This is too complicated to say, don't talk about it, I remember your name is Bai Ya, right, you're okay. Wyant could see that the other party was not in a very good state, and asked with concern.
"I'm okay, Mom and Dad have been assigned to different mines, and the people here say that it's hard for me to see them anymore, and we'll all die here, and that's what the Viscount explained. Bai Ya's expression was gloomy, and she lowered her head and let the tears fall.
"Don't listen to their nonsense, I won't agree to die here, Bai Ya, listen, here you have to forget everything, just try to survive, believe me! ”
Wyant didn't know why he said these words to the other party, but as soon as he saw Bai Ya's appearance, he couldn't help but want to say, did he even forget his decency, he really thought he was an unlucky slave.
"Thank you, Mr. Wyante, you are a good man. Bai Ya raised her head from scratch, and a smile appeared on her bloodless face.
"Maybe, okay, we can't waste time, Bai Ya doesn't mind that I'm mining ore here too. Wyant looked at the place and saw that there was no one else but the other party, and took the initiative to speak.
"Of course you can, but there are very few ores here, and it will take a long time to get them. Bai Ya nodded vigorously and reminded at the same time.
"Let's get started. ”
Throat!
Wyant had a look of surprise on his face, the rock here was indeed softer than his own, but he was saddened to find that he still couldn't dig it.
"Well, Mr. Wyant, you didn't dig that way. Bai Ya on the side saw the embarrassment of the other party and whispered.
"How do you dig it up?" Wyant asked, embarrassed, seriously.
"I also learned it when I watched them dig, and that's it. With that, Bai Ya began to chisel the rock layers.
Throat.
Rushing.
From time to time, stones fell, Bai Ya used all her strength, and was panting at the moment, so she had to stop to take a breath.
"That's how it should have been dug up, Mr. Wyante, do you see?"
"I think I understand, thank you Bai Ya, you take a break first, watch me. After remembering the other party's method, Wyant finally had the confidence to look at the rock layer again.
Don't look at him as a fat man, but compared to strength, several Bai Ya are not his opponents, and after the rock layer was chiseled open by him, he shouted excitedly.
"Did Bai Ya see it, I did it, haha!"
"Uh-huh, Mr. Wyant is amazing. ”
Unconsciously, Wyante and Bai Ya have been busy here for more than two hours, and they have each harvested some flint stones, but for the requirement of three hundred catties, this ore is a drop in the bucket.
After touching the flint a few times, Wyant visibly felt a little burning in his hands, and he examined Bai Ya's hands, and was shocked to find that they had begun to appear red and swollen.
Boom.
Wow.
Bai Ya tried to pry open a rock, her eyes showed joy, she carefully pried away the attached rubble, and finally broke a flint stone.
"Mr. Wyante, see, what a big flint. ”
"Oh my God, Bai Ya, you're amazing. ”
Seeing Bai Ya barely holding the head-sized flint stone, Wyante exclaimed, and the next moment, his face changed drastically, and something strange suddenly happened.
"Bai Ya, be careful!"
Boom!
A slave directly pushed Bai Ya down, took the stone, and was about to leave, only to find that his foot was caught.
"Put down the flint, that's mine. Bai Ya felt a little dizzy, she tried to raise her head, and grabbed the other party's feet with both hands.
"Get out of here!"
Boom!
The slave kicked Bai Ya in the chest, and with the help of the great force, she slipped on the ground for some distance, almost losing her breath.
"Bastard! she's still a child, stop me!"
Wyante shouted loudly, his eyes were full of anger, it happened too suddenly, seeing that the other party was leaving, he rushed to the other party directly from behind, and wanted to crush the other party with his three-hundred-pound body.
