Chapter 43: The Warehouse
After a pause, Kong Qingcai continued to ask, "You...... Why don't you ask me how I got to Ward 6?"
"I don't want to," Ruo Zixin replied.
Hearing Ruo Zixin's answer, Kong Qing's palm removed the dagger, "Why?"
"I can't even eat steamed buns, how can I be interested in knowing where you came from," Ruo Zixin said helplessly.
"Whew"
Hearing this, Kong Qingcai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and could feel that Ruo Zixin's words were indeed not deceitful.
"Okay, I'll go first," Kong Qing waved his hand.
"Hey!"
As soon as Kong Qing stood up, Ruo Zixin hurriedly shouted.
"Is there anything else?" asked Kong Qing.
Ruo Zixin pursed her lips before she raised her head and asked, "You...... Aren't you hungry?"
When Kong Qing heard this, he slapped his forehead, his face full of helplessness, "Hunger won't affect my sleep."
Seeing that Ruo Zixin didn't speak again, Kong Qing turned around and left the place.
Looking at Kong Qing's disappeared figure, Ruo Zixin muttered in a voice that only she could hear, "Thank you, Kong Qing." ”
Finding a corner where no one was around, Kong Qing lay down on his back.
"I don't know what's going on over there," Kong Qing thought. "The trace of Du Chi's dying also called out Mu Nan's name......"
Every time he thought of something related to Mu Nan, Kong Qing's mind was blank, and he didn't know what secrets Mu Nan was hiding from him like this.
"Since you can't think of it, let's sleep" exhaled, Kong Qing slowly closed his eyes.
As the night passed, Kong Qing was woken up by the familiar sound of excavation.
Rubbing his eyes, Kong Qing saw that there was no iron pickaxe around him.
After walking around for a long time, I found an iron pickaxe.
Bang!
As soon as he dug up a source stone, Kong Qing put it in his hand and checked it, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure in the distance.
"Ruo Zixin?" Kong Qing frowned.
At this moment, Ruo Zixin was holding an iron pickaxe and banging the mountain wall, Kong Qing looked at it for a while, Ruo Zixin still did not dig a single source stone.
But Ruo Zixin still didn't give up, wiped the sweat on her forehead, Ruo Zixin didn't waste a little time, and continued to beat hard.
Seven or eight hours passed, and Ruo Zixin only dug out more than 20 source stones, which was not easy for Ruo Zixin.
There are about eighty or ninety source stones in a basket of source stones, and a basket of source stones can be exchanged for a steamed bun, and Ruo Zixin can only dig out twenty or thirty pieces a day, that is to say, Ruo Zixin needs to dig for three days to eat a steamed bun.
Thinking of this, Kong Qing also knew why Ruo Zixin was so eager for her steamed buns yesterday.
Bang!
Kong Qing put a basket full of steamed buns beside Ruo Zixin.
"You ......" Ruo Zixin was first taken aback, and then found out that the person who dropped the source stone was Kong Qing.
"Take it" After Kong Qing finished speaking, he returned to his work area, and regardless of Ruo Zixin, he picked up the remaining source stone and walked outside the mine.
In fact, it is no problem for Kong Qing to dig eight or nine baskets casually, but in this mining area, it is not easy for a person to dig out a basket of source stones every day, if Kong Qing directly exchanges seven or eight steamed buns, it will definitely attract the attention of regulators.
In the eyes of the regulator in doubt, Kong Qing picked up the steamed bun and returned to the mining area.
As soon as she finished eating steamed buns, Ruo Zixin came to Kong Qing's side.
"What are you doing?" Kong Qing was stunned.
Ruo Zixin thought about it and hurriedly replied, "Thank you!"
After finishing speaking, Ruo Zixin left in a panic.
"What does this mean?" Kong Qing scratched his head, very puzzled.
Coming to an old man who was still digging, Kong Qing patted the latter's shoulder, "Old man"
"You...... You...... What are you doing, don't disturb me" The old man was very unhappy with Kong Qing's interruption.
Seeing that the old man picked up the iron pickaxe again, Kong Qing hurriedly ran to his work area, picked up dozens of source stones on the ground, and ran back to the old man.
Bang!
Seeing Kong Qing throwing so many source stones on the ground, the old man asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?"
"Here you go!" Kong Qing grinned.
"Give it to me, are you serious?" said the old man quickly.
After seeing Kong Qing nodding, the old man picked up the source stone on the ground, and was just about to throw it into his back basket, but Kong Qing blocked the back basket with his hand, "Don't worry"
"I knew that there was no such good thing," the old man's face changed.
After a pause, Kong Qing said slowly, "I just want to ask you something."
"What do you want to know?" the old man was stunned for a moment, and then threw the source stone into the basket.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" asked the old man.
Kong Qing nodded, "Okay, I just want to ask, how far is our sixth district from the Great River?"
"Dajiang?" the old man was stunned, and then he thought of something, and his face changed, "Young man, don't you have this kind of thought, there is a capital prison guarding Dajiang"
"Eunuch?" Kong Qing frowned, "There is only one?"
"Don't say one, even half of you won't be able to escape!" the old man waved his hand, "What's more, our sixth district is still three districts away from Dajiang, even if there is no capital prison, you can't go to Dajiang"
When Kong Qing heard this, he continued to ask, "What are the three districts?"
"You don't really plan to ......," the old man asked in a low voice.
"You don't care about me, you just say you know!" Kong Qing's face sank.
The old man sighed, "Young man, this kind of thinking is still ......"
"I took the source stone!"
Before the old man's words were finished, Kong Qing was about to pick up his source stone, but the old man hurriedly blocked it with his hand, "Hey, I know"
Hearing the old man's words, Kong Qingcai withdrew his arm, "Say it"
The old man paused before whispering back, "There are ten districts, and there are four districts, as well as one district leaning against the river."
Seeing Kong Qing's silence, the old man reminded again, "I have also seen people who think like you, but without exception, they have not succeeded."
"What do you mean by that!" Kong Qing hurriedly asked.
"Hey, what you can think of, those supervisors have long thought of it, that's why Dajiang will arrange a capital prison, the capital prison is not an ordinary person, I remember a riot, I saw a capital prison with my own eyes and waved his hand, thousands of slaves died on the ground"
"Okay, I see" Kong Qing nodded, "Thank you"
Looking at Kong Qing's back, the old man couldn't help but shake his head, "Another young man who is not afraid of death......"
Finding a quiet corner, Kong Qing took out a dagger and drew a map of several mining areas on the ground.
"District 10, the all-women's mining area! You must not go, the fourth area, the closed mining area, it is difficult to enter, and the first area, the source stone essence mining area, which is mined by the warriors of the country, cannot go!" Kong Qing looked at the pattern he had drawn on the ground.
"In other words, if you want to escape from the old source area, you must run to the river in one go, and then jump down!" Kong Qing thought in his heart.
According to Jiang Wen's original plan, there was almost no hope of escaping, and according to the information that Kong Qing had now obtained, there was no way to enter the fourth district and the first district, and Jiang Wen's plan happened to have four districts and one district.
At this moment, a figure quietly came to the corner where Kong Qing was.
"There is a huge warehouse next to the river that stores source stones, you can go in first!"
"Shhh
Kong Qing instantly picked up the dagger and looked up at the figure in front of him.
"Ruo Zixin?" Kong Qing's face sank.
Just when Kong Qing was about to make a move on Ruo Zixin, the latter smiled with relief, "You don't have to be nervous, I won't tell others."
"How do you know this?" asked Kong Qing tentatively.
"Because I used to have such thoughts," Ruo Zixin replied, her eyes looking at the dagger in Kong Qing's hand.
Kong Qing paused and continued to ask, "Then why didn't you do this?"
"Because I don't want to die!" said Ruo Zixin with a smile.
Looking at Ruo Zixin's calm cheeks, Kong Qingcai put the dagger on his waist.
"Why do you want to tell me this," Kong Qing asked.
Ruo Zixin sat down next to Kong Qing gently, picked up a branch and drew a circle next to the river.
"This is the location of the warehouse!" Ruo Zixin said lightly.
"Thank you," Kong Qing smiled with relief.
"The old source area is like a large prison, as long as the Great Southern Kingdom does not die for a day, then we will never be able to get out" Ruo Zixin looked at Kong Qing.
"Maybe, but I still want to give it a try!" Kong Qing smiled lightly, stood up and erased the map with his feet.
"Wouldn't it be better to risk yourself and live?" Ruo Zixin frowned slightly.
"You're right, I really want to live!" Kong Qing walked past Ruo Zixin after finishing.
It can be seen that Ruo Zixin is not lying, in fact, Kong Qing really wanted to kill Ruo Zixin, but Kong Qing did not do so.
Kong Qing didn't know why he left such a huge hidden danger.
