Chapter 5 Novice Miners

On the dinner table, a steaming meal, five dishes and one soup.

The empty dishes and chopsticks were placed quietly on the table, no one moved, and light smoke wafted above the food.

Xi Linruo lowered his head, and the holy night was expressionless.

"Smack!"

With the sound of chopsticks slapping on the table, Xi Linruo shook the spirit and secretly aimed at the woman opposite with his eyes.

The woman, wearing an oily apron, had her sleeves rolled up. Her figure is strong, her facial features are ordinary, and her eyes release a vicious aura.

"Mom, I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I... I... You shouldn't just bring a stranger home. ”

"Smack!"

Answering Xi Linruo was another "snap", and he muttered in a low voice: "He has amnesia and has nowhere to go..."

"Okay, okay, I finally saw the child, don't be angry."

The person who spoke was Xi Linruo's father. He was slightly chubby, with a long beard, thick hair, and a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

Dad Xi took Mama Xi's hand and persuaded him gently.

Xi's mother pointed at Xi Linruo, ready to continue scolding.

"Lin Ruoma! You're back!"

At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the door.

Xi's mother glared at Xi Linruo, and a smile instantly changed on her face, and she replied to the door: "Yes, Xiaoqing Mom!" It didn't take long to come back! ”

Xiaoqing's mother didn't want to come in at all, she continued to shout to Xi's mother outside the door: "If your family Lin can have a future, you will be rich and noble when you enter the Five Elements Sect in the future, but don't forget our fellow villagers!" ”

Xi's mother shouted with a smile: "It's good if this stinky boy doesn't cause me trouble!" Eat first, and go to your house to chat when you're free! ”

After Xiaoqing's mother replied, "Wait for you", footsteps sounded and left Xi Linruo's house.

Xi Linruo glanced at the Holy Night and found that this guy who had caused himself to be scolded half to death looked like he was out of the way.

This guy has no sympathy at all, and his face is like being paralyzed! Thinking about the student selection ceremony a few days ago, I worked hard to get him the opportunity, and he was also like this.

I was really blindfolded by lard, and I picked him up!

Xi's mother glanced at Xi Linruo, her tone softened slightly, and she said with a smile: "Your kid has also entered the Five Elements Sect." ”

Xi Linruo raised his head, there was a bit of smugness in his eyes, and said, "It's still the best class, the same teacher as Mu Yue." ”

Mama Xi squeezed out a smile hard, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think that if you enter the Five Elements Sect, you will drag it up!" I think back then, your mother was still the strongest class in the Jin Sect! ”

Xi Linruo decisively admitted it, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Dad Xi was a peacemaker on the side, and said softly: "Eat first, the food is cold." ”

With that, he glanced at the Holy Night and said kindly, "That Holy Night, right?" Eat and eat, you are a guest when you come, and you don't need to be polite to us. ”

Xi's mother finally raised her eyes to look at the holy night, and she said in an unkind tone: "Eat, eat, go home after eating." ”

Sheng Ye's eyes were as light as water, looked at Xi's mother, and said, "I want to go to the mine." ”

A few days later.

Sheng Ye looked at the thirty-meter-high mine in front of him, and a flash of color flashed in his eyes.

"Holy Night, I got you overalls and a helmet and tools!"

There was a voice from Xi's father, and he happily walked towards the Holy Night with a set of gray clothes, but his slightly chubby body was very agile.

"I told the director's general, you, no problem.

Let's dig copper, you are now my assistant, you can see how I operate first, and then you can dig it yourself.

As much copper as you dig, you will receive as much commission as you want, and you will pay once a month. ”

Although Dad Xi has a rough face, he is a warm-hearted person, which Xi Linruo inherited from him.

Sheng Ye changed into his overalls and helmet, and Xi's father led him into the mine.

The cave is not high, and it is necessary to bend down to enter, and the walls of the cave are inlaid with flint, which emits a reddish-yellow light, enough to light the path under their feet.

After walking for a while, Xi's father suddenly stopped, pointed to a hole in front of him, and said, "Let's go down to the hole below, don't be afraid, there is a bracket to climb." ”

Sheng Ye nodded slightly, but did not speak. Dad Xi was used to his style, shrugged his shoulders, and led the way down the climb.

The hole is not big, and a figure like Dad Xi can just be stuffed in, and if you get a little fatter, you may be able to say it. Like the ninth uncle in the tavern, it was because he was fat that he couldn't drill into the mine, so he opened the tavern.

After climbing for less than ten seconds, they reached the bottom of the cave, with many forks in the road. Father Xi took the lead in walking to a road familiarly, and muttered: "Cave No. 2, this is it." ”

They came to the end of the cave, and Dad Xi pressed the side of the helmet and turned on the flint, the light of this flint was brighter than that of the cave wall, and the vision was much clearer.

Father Xi motioned for the Holy Night to open as well, and after the Holy Night turned on the flint on his helmet, there was a lot more light in the cave.

Dad Xi picked up the iron pickaxe in his hand, pointed to a piece of metal with a large fingernail cover in purple red on the wall of the cave around him, and said, "This is the copper we want to dig."

In addition to the visible copper, we also have to dig up the copper in the stone.

As a gold master, this is where it works, you see my movements. ”

Dad Xi touched the cave wall firmly with one hand, and less than a second later, a faint light flashed at the place where the hand touched.

Dad Xi looked at the holy night and said seriously: "This step is the most important, it is called gold exploration." Use the gold in your body to feel the metal inside the stones, and you can immediately know where they are.

Sometimes, though, this perception can go wrong. Maybe you dig for a long time and find that there is no place at that location, or you dig up a very small piece of copper.

It depends on our experience in absenteeism and our own strength.

The digging steps are very simple, the iron pickaxe in our hands, input gold gas, digging fast and accurate.

In fact, it would be easier for a goldsmith like us to do this absenteeism. For a beginner like you, the Five Elements may have little gain.

Anyway, you observe me first, and then try it yourself.

Don't be discouraged if you fail, you're still a newbie, after all. ”

Xi's father explained in great detail, so that he could be a teacher, and Xi Linruo also inherited this.

Without waiting for the Holy Night to nod, Dad Xi began to pick up the iron pickaxe and work, he had already sensed the location of the copper just now, and went directly to dig it.

Ten minutes later, Dad Xi dug up a fist-sized piece of copper and shook it in front of the Holy Night's eyes.

"This is copper, and you can basically dig a backpack full of it at the end of the day."

After Xi's father finished speaking, he threw the copper into his backpack.

Next, Xi's father devoted himself to work.

Holy Night silently touched the cave wall on the side, and there was a faint light flickering where his hand touched.

He picked up an iron pickaxe, injected gold gas like his father, and began to dig.

Dad Xi quietly observed his actions, and when he saw that Sheng Ye was digging so quickly, he wanted to stop him.

"Holy Night, the location must be accurate to dig it. Digging indiscriminately can easily cause collapse. ”

When he looked into the hole that the Holy Night had dug, his eyes were as big as brass bells, and he couldn't speak.
