"So, poor little Rashid was seriously injured to save you? ”

In front of the hospital bed, a fat Mensaro with a fat head and big ears shook a pair of big ears and hummed and asked.

Hearing this, Matedi sneered: "It's not us who we want him to save, when we see the desert jumping lizard, we don't quickly hide, and we dangle around and get caught, do you blame me? Besides, isn't his little life still saved by us Hassan?

Duck patted Teddy lightly, motioned for him to step back, and asked, "Who are you?"

Perhaps because of his size, the fat man took two steps back and said, "I am the child's uncle!

"Well, I don't think you're like a child's father," Duck said a word to block the fat man, leaned over and squatted down beside the bed, and said to a blank Mensalo, "We will be responsible for this matter to the end." ”

From the sight of Rashid's appearance, the Mensaro man had no tears, looked dull, and knelt in front of the hospital bed, without saying a word.

His face was crisscrossed with wrinkles, carved with the marks of time, and his withered and thin fingers gently caressed the child's pale face, without saying a word. The focus of his eyes was completely dilated, and he couldn't hear a word of what others were saying.

Martedi dragged Dark: "You are crazy, there is a shortage of doctors and medicines here, the hospital beds are charged by the hour, we are penniless now, what is the responsibility! He saved us, we saved him, what is the responsibility!"

Duck gestured to Nibali lying on the other side, "And what about her?"

Nibali's bleeding had stopped, and Dr. Mensalo here bandaged her with no medicine, and the medicines here were all sky-high, and a small bottle of hemostatic powder was sold for 300 dinars.

Martedi shook his head helplessly and said nothing.

Wojihan handed over a piece of paper in an uproar: "The doctor said, the child is very lucky, the broken bone did not hurt the internal organs, but there is a lot of blood in the stomach, plus a broken leg and a hand, if you want to recover, no problem, 120,000 dinars! I am the child's uncle, I am in charge of this matter!"

Darker ignored the demand note, looked at him calmly, and said, "I don't have a copper plate now, otherwise, I wouldn't let my friend lie on the hospital bed." ”

"If you have money, you have to give it to me first! No, treat the child first!"

Duck ignored this menacing sentence and said indifferently: "Is there any way to make money here?"

Wojihan said viciously: "Yes, it's still a way to make a lot of money! Dig a tunnel! If you dig ore, you can earn more!"

"Who should I turn to?"

"From here, along the southwest passage all the way to the end, there is a hut, where the new tunnel begins, and there is a foreman in a silver helmet, named Foreman, looking for him!"

Suddenly, Rashid's father looked up and said, "Forget it. It's fate. ”

Wojihan said angrily: "Brother-in-law, why are you confused! The children are like this, don't blame them? I have all the money! If you don't look for them, can you afford it?"

"If you had a lot of money, you wouldn't be Mensalo. Forget it, Vojihan. The doctor said that as long as the child survived the first three days, he would not die. ”

"If you don't have money, the doctor won't give medicine. Not to mention the stomach, my hands and feet are also crippled!"

"I'm going to dig a tunnel. Wojihan, excuse me, pay three more days' money, I, Fa Zepo, will do what I say, and I will pay you back sooner or later. ”

"No, can your body hold it? If you die, I'll pay for it...... No, what about my nephew?"

Fa Ze smiled miserably: "That's all fate." So be it. ”

Duck crouched down for the second time and patted Fazepo on the shoulder: "Uncle, I am indeed responsible for this, so let's go dig a tunnel - is that job very profitable?"

"If you don't have experience, you'll die. ”

"Experience is learned, don't worry," said Dark, standing up and pulling Matedi over, "I'll go see what this tunnel is all about, you stare at Nibali, you can't do it, tell the doctor she's Assasin." ”

"Okay. Are you really going to dig a tunnel?"

"What's so scary about tunnels?"

Martedi gave Darkk a rough talk about the tunnels under the desert.

The surface of the desert is covered with fine yellow sand up to 30 meters thick, a mixture of orange and red clay and fine stones 100 meters below, and a coarse layer of gravel and bedrock 100 meters down.

Influenced by the oases on the Pearl Road, the desert sand on both sides of the Pearl Road is relatively thin, the bedrock is relatively flat, and the position is relatively high, and some even stick to the ground. The Mensaro people live in tunnels in the bedrock layer, like gerbils living on the surface of the desert.

Duck asked, "The rocks are quite hard, how did the Mensaros dig tunnels out of the stones?"

"They only use tunnels left over from the past. In the depths of the desert, there are huge sandworms, and these tunnels more than ten meters high are dug by them. ”

"Sandworms, a tunnel more than ten meters high?"

Sand worms are huge creatures that live underground, they are like huge and slender leather bags, they melt hard rocks through saliva, open a huge passage that can accommodate their bodies, dig day and night, and when they dig back to the starting point, or accidentally dig through the burrow dug by other sand worms, open their huge mouths and suck, and the creatures gathered together in the passage will all make their food.

"So the Mensaros are actually using the tunnels dug by the sandworms. The so-called 'digging' is nothing more than repairing certain passages and letting them dig new passages, which they don't have the ability to. ”

"What if I encounter a sandworm?"

"It's definitely a dead end when you encounter it suddenly, but they have a special powder that is concentrated in important parts of the tunnel, and the sandworms hate the smell and turn around. So, as long as you are prepared, sandworms are not the main threat, the biggest threat is the various burrowing creatures that live in the tunnels. ”

"Understood, I'll go talk to the foreman, you are optimistic about Nibali, don't relax!"

"You know, you know, go with confidence!"

Darker followed the route Vojihan had told him and found the foreman without incident.

This foreman, like all the Mensaros who live underground in the underground, has huge ears. After listening to Duck's story, he didn't say a word, and ordered someone to bring Duck a shovel and a pickaxe, and sent someone to take him to the node cave of the tunnel.

Every 500 meters of the tunnel, there will be a huge spherical node cave, which stores a lot of food and water for rest and healing.

Of course, these nodes, which are stocked with supplies, are also the most vulnerable to raids by desert cavemen.

So, with a knife pinned to his waist, a shovel on his back, and a pickaxe, Duck formed a team of two with another Menzaro and began a new life as a miner. 10
