Chapter 15: Joining
Half a day passed quietly, Kong Qing wiped a handful of fine sweat, and walked to the mountain, seeing that there was no one else around, he was ready to take a break.
Before he could untie his trouser belt, he heard several familiar voices.
"Ah, I don't want to stay here anymore!" said a teenager angrily.
Another teenager also complained, "Five boxes a day, is this what a human can do?"
"The four of us only eat six steamed buns a day, so if we don't eat well, how can we get the energy to work for them"
"Hold on, there's not a few days left," the young man who was digging put down the iron pickaxe in his hand.
After hearing the sound, Kong Qing instantly remembered that he had met the four teenagers last night, Kong Qing cautiously followed the sound and walked over, seeing that the four teenagers had already picked up the iron pickaxe, Kong Qing pondered for a moment, and then continued to return to his work area.
In the evening, Kong Qing took two frames of source stone spirits, avoided the eyes of the supervisor, and tiptoed to the work area of the four teenagers.
Bang bang!
Two baskets of source stone essence fell to the ground, and when the four teenagers saw Kong Qing, they also frowned, not knowing what Kong Qing meant.
Kong Qing didn't say much, and after hearing the shouting and scolding of the supervisor in the distance, he hurriedly went back from the trail.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, all the slaves who had completed the task stopped what they were doing and walked out of the mine with enough source stone essences.
Kong Qing is the same, Kong Qing is very tired today, and while completing his task, he also helped the four teenagers dig two baskets.
Kong Qing did this for no other reason than because of the content of their chat today!
Kong Qing couldn't let go of any hope, even if they were joking, Kong Qing had to catch it.
Sure enough, after returning to their work area, the four teenagers also came to Kong Qing.
"Ahem"
One of the young men coughed, which broke the awkward atmosphere here.
Just as he was about to speak, the young man arched his hand at Kong Qing, "Thank you for the day!"
Kong Qing hurriedly replied with a fist, "These are all small meanings"
"Then since it's nothing, we'll go back first," the boy laughed.
Seeing that the young man was actually ready to go back like this, Kong Qing's heart sank, how could there be a free lunch in the world, "Can you take a step to speak?"
Several teenagers who were stopped by Kong Qing suddenly turned around, and the young man frowned at first, not knowing what Kong Qing meant, "This ......"
Kong Qing nodded, then smiled lightly and walked towards the path on the other side.
After hesitating for a moment, several teenagers still followed in the direction of Kong Qing.
Along the way, there were other slaves around, and in order to hide people's eyes, Kong Qing planned to come to an open and hidden place.
Coming to a cave that had collapsed, Kong Qingcai turned to look at the four teenagers.
Seeing Kong Qing's face full of smiles, the four teenagers felt more and more that something was wrong, there was no one around, and they thought of Kong Qing's strange strength, and the four of them subconsciously kept a certain distance from Kong Qing.
"Why did you call us here?" asked the young detective.
Seeing that the four teenagers actually looked like this, Kong Qing couldn't help but smile, "Haha, don't worry, I don't have that mind, besides, the four of you, I'm just one, and I can still harm you."
Hearing Kong Qing say this, the faces of the four teenagers improved, and they glanced at each other for a while before nodding slightly.
No matter how powerful Kong Qing is, there are four people on his side, and the wolves are still afraid of the tigers.
"By the way, my name is Kong Qing, I don't know the four?" Kong Qing first reported his name.
Several teenagers hesitated again before replying, "Jiang Wen"
"Shang Dong"
"Guangtao"
"Gufeng"
It can be seen that the four of them are mainly Jiang Wen, that is, the young man who Kong Qing injured yesterday.
"Okay!" Kong Qing solemnly clenched his fists, "Brother Jiang, last night's incident, Kong Mou will accompany you first!"
Jiang Wen hurriedly clenched his fists and replied, "Brother Kong is serious!"
"Anyway, why did Brother Kong call us here?" Jiang Wen said directly.
Kong Qing felt that Jiang Wen was still wary of him, and said directly, "Then I won't hide the poke, Brother Jiang has a way to escape from the old source area?"
Bang!
After Kong Qing's last few words fell on Jiang Wen's ears, the four of them were suddenly shocked, their faces changed greatly, and their fists were quietly clenched.
"Brother Kong is joking with our four brothers," Jiang Wen asked in a deep voice through gritted teeth.
Kong Qing shook his head, "I hope you can tell me how to escape, or rather, take me!"
Hiss!
"Are you serious?" Jiang Wen gritted his teeth and asked back for a long time.
Looking at the faces of Jiang Wen and the others, Kong Qing still sighed in his heart, "It's just passers-by, I'm still too anxious."
Kong Qing's body suddenly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, "Alas, I'm too anxious, since Brother Jiang doesn't want to share it with me, then let's leave it at that."
After Kong Qing finished speaking, he passed through Jiang Wen's four, and his footsteps stopped beside Jiang Wen again, "Good luck to you!"
Although he really wanted to escape, and Jiang Wen and the four of them were the only hope they had seen in the past three years, Kong Qing said that it was impossible not to be moved, but if others were unwilling, he couldn't make a move on them.
Kong Qing can also understand Jiang Wen and the others, since they have come to the old source area, they are very lucky to be able to survive all the time, not to mention that there is a way to escape, and bringing one more person with them means that it is even more dangerous.
When Kong Qing completely walked past Jiang Wen and the others, Jiang Wen slowly opened his eyes, "Wait a minute!"
Obviously, Jiang Wen also said these three words after some mental struggle.
"Brother Jiang!"
All three shouted at the same time.
Kong Qing was surprised, and hope also rose again in his heart.
Without waiting for Kong Qing to speak, Jiang Wen continued to ask, "You don't want to supervise and expose us?"
Even though the firelight was very dim, Kong Qing could still see Jiang Wen's delicate facial features from it, but at this time, the latter's face became more and more calm.
Kong Qing smiled lightly, "Can I get any benefits?"
Receiving Kong Qing's answer, Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with relief, "To be honest, I don't dare to guarantee that I will be able to escape."
Kong Qing nodded, "As long as you don't have to be able to escape, there's still hope."
Jiang Wen nodded, "Maybe we will die in the Old Source District"
"If you stay in the old source area all the time, you will only die, it's just a difference in time," Kong Qing replied.
After a long time, Jiang Wen exhaled fiercely, "I agree with you to join us!"
"Brother Jiang!" Gu Feng hurriedly exclaimed.
"You have to know that every one more person we have, the more dangerous it becomes," Shang Dong also chimed in.
Jiang Wen just wanted to speak, but Guangtao on the side chimed in, "I think, with one more person, the chance of escaping will be higher."
"Guangtao, even you agree that kid joins us?" Gu Feng turned his head and said angrily.
Guang Tao nodded, "As long as we trust the brothers, I believe that one more person will have an extra chance of success!"
"But can that kid believe it?" Gu Feng asked rhetorically.
"I believe it!"
Jiang Wen suddenly said in a low voice.
"Brother Jiang! you...... Huh" Gu Feng's eyes sank, and with a light snort, he jumped over a few people, turned around and left.
Gu Feng thought of something again, so he stopped, and stared at Kong Qing fiercely for a few times before striding away.
"Gu Feng!" Shang Dong hurriedly shouted, but Gu Feng's figure had disappeared in place, Shang Dong looked at a few people, let out a long breath, and then ran in the direction where Gu Feng left.
Where would Kong Qing have thought that his joining would actually put the four Jiang Wen brothers in such an embarrassing situation.
Kong Qing paused, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Jiang, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Wen shook his head and sat down slowly, "That guy Gu Feng has this character, don't you mind"
Jiang Wen said this, which made Kong Qing even more confused about how to answer.
Guang Tao hurriedly added, "Gu Feng wants to escape more than any of us, he has been in the Jiuyuan District for six years, according to him, there is a younger sister at home, and I don't know how, in these six years, if it weren't for his sister, Gu Feng would not have survived until now."
"Now I agree with you to join us, Gu Feng is afraid that our plans will be affected because of your arrival" Jiang Wen smiled bitterly, and then looked at Kong Qing and added, "What do I say, Guang Tao knows who I am!"
Guang Tao on the side immediately nodded.
