Chapter 5 Helping Hands

"Wow! It's amazing!" Mo Yi touched the thin cracks on the stone wall in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim.

And Mo Yuzhu, who had been resting for a long time on the side, also came to the two of them timidly, a little shocked, and a little curious to look Su Shan up and down.

"It's just the first weight of the body, and it only strengthens some muscles, but even so, it's about five times the strength of an adult. Su Shan felt the changes in his body, and said slowly against the memories in his mind.

Su Shan picked up the mine hoe next to him, and then said, "Did you dig up anything during this time?"

Mo Yi scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard this, lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "No... No, just a few small pieces of silver, and the stone here is so hard that it is hard to chisel. ”

Su Shan glanced at the basket not far away, the silver in it was pitifully broken, he retracted his gaze, and then said, "You rest for a while, come for me." ”

"No... It's okay, I'm not tired, it's okay!" Mo Yi clenched the mine hoe in his hand and said suddenly.

"You'd better rest for a while, your body won't be able to hold on. Su Shan stared at him, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry about food, I will divide half of the ore dug up, now listen to me, go and rest, rest well, and then have the strength to work." ”

After Su Shan finished speaking, he no longer gave him a chance to refute, and swung his mine hoe at the stone wall.

With such great force that every time the hoe was chiseled into the stone wall, it would stir up a little spark, and each hoe would chisel a large stone into the stone wall.

Mo Yi stood in place for a moment, and the heaviest obediently retreated to the corner, squatting on the ground and leaning against his sister.

"Brother Su Shan is different from the people in the family, he is a good person who will help us. Mo Yuzhu leaned on Mo Yi's shoulder and whispered.

"Hmm...... , should be a person who can be trusted. Mo Yi looked at Su Shan, who was easily chiseled down pieces of stone not far away, remembered what he had said to himself before, and thought in his heart, although he told me not to trust anyone easily, I should be able to trust him.

Su Shan naturally didn't have any intentions for their brother and sister, what he wanted was just an object to talk to in this slave farm.

You must know how precious it is to have a friend who can talk wholeheartedly in this kind of deceitful place, eating people without spitting out bones.

..............................

After a long time, Su Shan's whole body was a little sore, he looked at the sparse stones all over the ground in the stone cave, and thought in his heart, such a large number of stones, there will always be some ore in it.

He rubbed his shoulders, took a light breath, and was about to start smashing the stones on the ground, but at this time, Mo Yi and Mo Yuzhu brothers and sisters also came to him with a mine hoe, Mo Wei said: "Let's come together, these small jobs don't take much effort." ”

Su Shan chuckled lightly and said, "Okay." ”

At this moment of verifying the results, the three of them did not hesitate, and immediately began to chisel on the ground against the stones.

"Brother... Brother, look, there you have it, it's gold, it's gold!"

Unexpectedly, it would be Mo Yuzhu who would be the first to find the ore, Mo Yi and Su Shan were stunned for a moment when they saw this, but Su Shan reacted first and said, "Don't be stunned, keep digging, there should be more!"

"Yes... Yes, continue to dig ......" Mo Yi hurriedly waved the mine hoe when he heard this, and his panicked appearance caused Mo Yuzhu on the side to let out a chuckle like a silver bell.

But Su Shan and Mo Yi turned a deaf ear to this, and it seemed that it was the gold nugget in Mo Yuzhu's hand, which made the two of them see hope.

It's just that this hope comes and goes quickly, and after a long time, I saw Mo Yi squatting against the corner of the stone wall, sweating profusely, looking dejected, and Su Shan weighed the silver pieces in the basket that were less than one-third, and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"The momentum at the beginning is still good...... Su Shan held the gold nugget dug out by Mo Yuzhu, which was also the only gold nugget dug up from the beginning to the present, and then continued indifferently: "Although the back is a little worse, it is much stronger than nothing." ”

"That being said, but ......" Mo Yi's complaining words were just on his lips when he was interrupted by the sudden ringing of a huge bronze bell.

'Phew...... Whoa...... ,......'

"Brother, it's the bell!" Mo Yuzhu called out in a low voice.

"The chief of the guard said that the eating, resting, and work in this mine are all scheduled by this bell, and now is not the time to sleep, and we are still working, so at this time, this bell ......" Su Shan looked at Mo Yi and Mo Yuzhu, still indifferent.

"Ah, it's time to eat!" Mo Yi jumped up from the ground excitedly, pulled Mo Yuzhu, and ran out of the stone cave, shouting: "Sister, go quickly, there is something to eat!"

It's just that Mo Yi didn't wait to run out of the stone cave, but suddenly stopped, turned around, scratched his head quite embarrassed, and said: "That, Su Shan, I'm sorry, I was hungry and dizzy, so I ...... by myself."

It's just that before he finished speaking, he found that Su Shan didn't look at him at all, but dug a pit in the corner of the stone wall and hid the only piece of gold ore and half of the silver ore.

Seeing this, Mo Yi couldn't help but ask, "Su Shan, what are you doing?"

"The guard chief didn't say how much we had to pay to get enough to eat, so the first time we handed in the ore, we had to pay less, and we tried to see where the bottom line was. Su Shan said slowly.

"What do you mean? I don't really understand, we pay more to get more food, don't we, why hide it?" asked Mo Yi.

Su Shan picked up the basket containing the silver nuggets on his back, and explained as he walked towards the entrance of the cave: "It won't be so simple, whether the chief of the guard wants to be powerful or to get benefits from it, presumably the food given to us the first time will not be too much, so we don't need to hand it over, if we hand it in too much, the second time we hand it in, we will have to hand it in more than the first time, so we can eat, so we can't hand in too much or too little for the first time." ”

"I see. Mo Wei said suddenly.

..............................

"Wow......!

The guards of the mine in gray armor brought in buckets of food from the tunnel leading to the outside, and as soon as the large barrel landed, many slaves jumped up, and the scene like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep was extremely amazing.

"Su Shan, Su Shan, what should we do now, do we have to squeeze in it too?" Mo said tremblingly.

"How is it possible...... Although Su Shan has the strength of about five adults at this time, it is probably impossible to squeeze in from this crowd and grab food, he turned his head to look around, and continued: "Quickly find out where the guard chief named Shang Chun is!"

"Shang Chun, Shang Chun, Wei Chang, Wei Chang......" There was food in front of him, but he couldn't get it, Mo Yi became a little anxious, and while grinding, he looked for Wei Chang's figure everywhere.

"Brother, over there!"

It turned out that it was Mo Yuzhu who discovered the figure of the guard chief first, Su Shan looked in the direction of Mo Yuzhu's finger, and sure enough, he saw the figure of Shang Chun.

"Hey...... , you three imps have finally found it. ”

After Su Shan and the three ran over, Na Shangchun laughed and continued, "Hehe...... Now that everyone is here, let me see what you will contribute on the first day!haha......"

Hearing this, Su Shan put the basket behind him in front of him, and he noticed the big bucket that had been placed next to Shang Chun, although he couldn't see what kind of food it contained, he still swallowed his saliva unbearably.

Shang Chun checked the baskets in front of everyone one by one from right to left, until when he came to Su Shan and the three of them, Su Shan said, "This is the three of us." ”

"Well, I see, it's not bad. Shang Chun's face, which had been tense, finally showed a smile, he took a few steps back, and then said loudly: "I am interested in your results...... I am very dissatisfied, you must know that this food is extremely difficult to come by, and the mine owner has worked hard to obtain it for you, and you have only made this small contribution, I am ashamed of you!"

"There are only five people who can eat today. Shang Chun pointed his finger over one by one and said, "You, you, you, you, and you!"

"Great! Su Shan, there is us!" Mo Yi turned his head and whispered to Su Shan.

It's just that corresponding to Mo Yi's joy, there are five people who can't eat, become slaves, exhausted from labor, but can't eat, and anger goes straight to their hearts, forcing someone to lose their minds at this moment!

"Are you kidding! Why should they eat and Lao Tzu should be hungry!"

It was a young man of extraordinary appearance who shouted loudly, and he ran out of the barrel where the food was kept, despite the tugs of his companions.

"Hmm, your behavior is not good!" Shang Chun's eyes were quick and he grabbed the young man's wrist.

"Let go of me! Idiot slave! Young master, I want to eat!"

"What are you talking about?!" Shang Chun said angrily when he heard this.

"I said you were a son of a bitch!

As soon as the words fell, only to hear the sound of 'bang', that Shang Chun pulled out an iron rod out of nowhere, and slammed it on the young man's head, shouting while beating: "Dead waste! Should you still be a powerful man at home? I don't know whether I live or die, see if I don't teach you a good lesson, young master!"

There was a muffled sound of 'bang bang bang ......', one after another, and the blood gradually flowed all over the ground, which was shocking, but none of the young man's companions dared to stand up.

"I'll show you how good I am!"

This Shang Chun seemed to be going to use this young man to stand up, he twisted the steel rod, and the sharp point of the tail was directly aimed at the young man's head, and the next moment he was afraid that he would be killed.

At this moment, a white hand suddenly stretched out from Shang Chun's side and held the steel rod tightly.

"Master Wei, he should know that he is wrong, if you beat him to death......"

"Not only does it take a lot of effort to clean up, but you also lose a man who can do the work, doesn't it?"

The person who stopped Shang Chun was Su Shan, he didn't give Shang Chun time to react, and suddenly squatted down.

Next to the half-dead boy, he asked, "You... If you know that you are wrong, you will answer if you know that you are wrong, or you will nod your head!"

Su Shan saw that the young man still didn't react, and lowered his head and suddenly clung to his ears.

After a while, Su Shan muttered to himself, "Oh, yes, I know that I am wrong, well, I just know that I am wrong!"

It's just that whether he really heard it or not, I'm afraid only he knows.

"Master Wei, it seems that he knows that he is wrong! You have a lot of horses for him, presumably he will be grateful to you in the future and work hard, you see?"

Shang Chun glanced at Su Shan coldly, hesitated for a moment, and finally let out a 'puff' in his mouth, turned around, and walked towards the rice bucket.

While walking, he didn't forget to shout: "You too, give me a good job after eating!"

Shang Chun filled a few bowls of rice, threw them on the ground, and after snorting his bad luck, he walked away.

Su Shan looked at the food in the broken bowl in front of him, and was silent for a moment, and only after a long time muttered: "Black steamed buns... Do you want to eat rice porridge?"
