It was getting late, and the regulator required Kong Qing to complete the task of six boxes today, even if Kong Qing worked hard, he dug until midnight.

There is no one else in sight outside the rest area, except for supervision.

"Lord Supervisor, this is today's output," Kong Qing pointed to the six frames of source stones behind him.

"Three steamed buns, get out of here," the regulator hurriedly shouted.

The old source area is divided into nine large mines, each of which is divided into seventy or eighty mining areas, and the mining area where Kong Qing is located is relatively small, with only a few dozen people in total.

Kong Qing nodded, smiled and grabbed three steamed buns and prepared to return to the cave.

In three years, Kong Qing has left a deep impression on the supervision, although Kong Qing likes to be in a daze and fantasize many times, and even laughs at some times, and is silent at other times, but every task will be completed.

Seeing Kong Qing's smirk, the supervisor hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minute"

"Huh?" Kong Qing stopped, looking back at the regulator in a daze, "Is there anything else going on with the regulator?"

The supervisor paused, raised his hand and pointed to the steamed buns in the basket.

"Let's get another one"

Hearing the words of the superintendent, Kong Qing was dumbfounded, what day is today, and the superintendent will reward the slaves who have completed the task much at ordinary times, but they are all one more steamed bun.

"Is this regulation convulsive today?" Kong Qing was stunned.

"Don't just go back to sleep," the regulator suddenly sank, and said indifferently.

"If you want to" Kong Qing came back to his senses, picked up the steamed bun and ran into the cave.

When he walked into the cave, Kong Qing found that almost all of them had rested, and for them, sleeping and steamed buns were their only physical pillars, and as for their spirits, they might have long been lost.

Kong Qing found a wooden plank at random and sat down, shook his head, and gobbled up the steamed bun in his hand.

Seeing a small piece of steamed bun falling to the ground, Kong Qing hurriedly picked it up and put it in his mouth.

After a while, Kong Qing finished three steamed buns, and when he saw that there was still one left in his hand, Kong Qing immediately put it in his pocket.

"Tomorrow's breakfast is here," Kong Qing thought beautifully in his heart.

"Hey, it hurts" Kong Qing habitually shook his shoulders.

Just as Kong Qing was about to lie down and rest, Kong Qing found a familiar figure in the corner of the cave.

The thin figure of the young man curled up in the cold corner and kept shivering, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel sad.

"Is that the young man?" Kong Qing thought suspiciously.

"Alas, this kind of idle business should be taken care of" Kong Qing nodded slightly, turned his head back and prepared to lie down.

At this moment, the corner where the young man was suddenly flickering like a night star.

The light of this moment was also captured by the afterglow of Kong Qing's eyes.

"Bang"

Kong Qing immediately lifted his spirits, completely sleepy, and stared directly at the location of the young man, but there was no more picture that Kong Qing wanted to see.

"Could it be that I'm dazzled?" Kong Qing scratched his head and lay down again.

In the old source area, because a large number of source stones were excavated, the soil structure was destroyed, and the air in the whole area was mixed with a special substance, which caused the sky on the old source area to be overcast.

They couldn't tell the time at all, so they could only wait for the orders of the superintendent, and they would come to their excavation area early in the morning, pick up the iron pickaxe and dig hard.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The sound of the iron pickaxe colliding with the rock came and went, wiping a handful of fine sweat, and hearing the footsteps behind him, Kong Qing looked back.

"You can dig it here," the overseer ordered the boy, "The daily task is three boxes, and when it is completed, there will be steamed buns at night."

After the young man nodded, he slowly walked to the other side of Kong Qing, picked up the iron pickaxe and began to work.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The boy dug for a while before a source stone fell from the mountain wall.

Seeing this, the regulator's face darkened, "At your speed, don't eat tonight."

The young man didn't seem to hear the words of the superintendent, and he still dug as before.

The superintendent snorted coldly, tightened the whip in his hand, and slapped it on the young man's back.

"Smack"

Bang!

The young man's body has not fully recovered from his injuries yesterday, where can he afford to supervise such a whip, and his body shook and fell to the ground.

"Get up!" said the regulator coldly.

After trembling for a while, the boy wiped his already moist eyes, staggered to his feet, and continued digging.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

It was clear that the teenager's speed was significantly faster than before, and the superintendent left the spot.

It wasn't until the sound of the supervisor's footsteps had completely disappeared that Kong Qing put down the iron pickaxe and looked up at the young man.

After hesitating for a moment, Kong Qing couldn't help but ask, "Hey"

The boy was indifferent, still digging hard.

"Uh......" The corners of Kong Qing's mouth twitched, this is too rude, but he continued to ask, "Dude, first time we met, my name is Kong Qing, may I ask ......?"

"It shouldn't be the first time we've met," the young man's indifferent voice sounded, but his hands still didn't stop.

Kong Qing hurriedly remembered yesterday's scene, and smiled awkwardly, seeing that the young man had no intention of chatting with him, Kong Qing would not be bored.

Just as Kong Qing picked up the iron pickaxe and continued to work, the young man stopped moving.

"My name is Fu Shan".

"Oh" Kong Qing nodded hurriedly, the iron pickaxe in his hand still kept colliding with the rocks.

In this way, the two of them went their separate ways, until evening, and then it was time to rest.

For a whole day, Kong Qing easily completed the task of three frames, but Fu Shan couldn't compare.

Not to mention the injuries on his body, the heavy iron pickaxe alone had already made Fu Shan unable to lift his arms.

At the end of the day, Fu Shan barely completed half of the task, that is, one and a half baskets.

Fu Shan glanced at the back basket behind Kong Qing and found that Kong Qing had already filled it in the morning, and there were still many source stones on Kong Qing's ground that could not be filled.

Comparing the back basket behind him, Fu Shan's nose was sore, and his tears almost didn't fall.

Seeing this, Kong Qing only shook his head slightly, slowly picked up the source stone on the ground, walked to the back basket behind Fu Shan, and put it all in.

"Bang bang bang!"

Kong Qing clapped his hands and grinned, "Okay, you're one basket away"

Kong Qing's movements were also seen by Fu Shan, who was stunned on the spot, "Why are you helping me?"

Now it's Kong Qing's turn to be dumbfounded, "Do you still need a reason to help people?"

Fu Shan nodded seriously, and quickly shook his head, "Thank you"

"Okay, there's still some time, let's dig together" Kong Qing put away his smile.

Originally, Fu Shan still had something to say, but seeing that Kong Qing had already started to move, he could only swallow his words, and picked up the iron pickaxe and dug hard.

The sky in the old source area has been severely polluted, whether it is night or day, it is the same color, and all mining areas can only be illuminated with the help of fire towers.

Seeing that someone had already put down the iron pickaxe and walked towards the rest area, Kong Qing also threw the last source stone into Fu Shan's back basket.

"Whew, it's finally done, let's go, let's eat," Kong Qing said with a smile.

Before Fu Shan could thank him, Kong Qing had already disappeared into the work area with the back frame.

With the steamed buns in hand, Kong Qing went straight back to the cave, and after gobbling it up, Kong Qing also wanted to take a good rest.

After Kong Qing fell asleep, Fu Shan dragged his tired body into the cave, and saw that there were already many figures in the cave, Fu Shan still walked to the corner of yesterday.

It seems that only such a dark place can give Fu Shan a sense of security.

Day after day, a month passed quietly, and the relationship between Fu Shan and Kong Qing was getting better and better, and in the slave mining area of the old source area, the two could be regarded as difficult friends.

"Yes, I'm getting more and more proficient," Kong Qing said with a smile.

Fu Shan smiled back, "Well, you don't have to dig for me today, I can do it myself"

Within a month, Kong Qing would spend time helping Fu Shan dig every day, which moved Fu Shan.

During the excavation in January, Fu Shan also mastered some excavation skills, so he didn't want to trouble Kong Qing again.

It was already time to eat, and seeing that Fu Shan was still half a frame away from completing the source stone, Kong Qing smiled, picked up the source stone left alone at his feet, and threw it into Fu Shan's back basket.

"I ...... Didn't I say I didn't need to help," Fu Shan said.

Kong Qing waved his hand, "Let's go eat first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Just as Kong Qing lifted the basket and was about to leave, the supervisor's footsteps stopped behind Kong Qing.
