Chapter 1: Mine Distress
The sound of the leather whip slapping his body "pop pap" reached his ears, and Han Yunhao, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly stood up and jumped out of the room. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were three or four willow baskets on the ground, filled with black gooey food. He grabbed a few and stuffed them into his mouth, opened the dirty kettle he had brought with him, and poured them into his mouth. After pausing for a moment, he finished chewing and eating, and then ran again.
Not far away is a mine, which has been dug up and full of holes. This is the border of Wuhaiyuan, and the miners are caught by various means, just like him. Every day they have to hand in a fixed weight of ore, and if they can't complete the task, they will only go hungry at night, and in severe cases, they will be whipped.
Han Yunhao came out first and deliberately found a remote mine to drill into. He hurried to wield an iron pickaxe, knocked the ore off the mountain, and put it in the iron basket behind him, and everything seemed to be in order.
If the people of Qianlong Island saw that their island owner's eldest grandson and family heir were so skilled in mining, they would definitely open their mouths in surprise and forget to close them for a long time, Han Yunhao laughed at himself in his heart.
He was covered in bloody scabs, which were the marks of the beating. Initially unable to turn in the ore on time, he has now adapted to the harsh conditions and can complete the workload in half a day.
Since he was a child, his meridians were locked by the Xuantian Nine Yin Rope, and his body could not cultivate, and he tried various techniques later without progress. Again and again, again and again, despair, made his heart sharpened and strengthened.
After coming here, Han Yunhao discovered the benefits of the Xuantian Nine Yin Suo: external blows would not affect the internal organs, and wounds and qi recovered quickly. He couldn't smile bitterly, the initial obstacle had now become a lifesaver, allowing him to survive the first few days of suffering.
According to the mining speed, Han Yunhao has long been able to stand out and enter the mining area with better treatment. But he understands that he must keep a low profile as a person, otherwise he will attract the attention of others and die an unknown death. From pampering to working hard for survival, he constantly reflected: "The reason why I fell into this situation is that I have a sinister heart and believe in people who shouldn't be believed." ”
I thought of that man, the loyal and sincere brother, who usually loved and cared for him, but deceived himself into secretly traveling out of the island, and then let the pirates hijack this place. If it weren't for the chance to hear the pirate leader's conversation and know that he was betrayed, he would still be in the dark.
After all, it is the nature of a teenager, Han Yunhao couldn't control his emotions and used too much force. The arm deviated from direction and touched a hard piece of ore, and the pickaxe detached from his hand and threw it diagonally above the cave.
"Crackling. ”
The gravel and sand at the top fell down, and the iron pickaxe fell to the ground, splashing dust with a crisp sound. Han Yunhao's heart moved, and he looked over and found a shiny object exposed in the mound.
Regardless of his disgraced face, Han Yunhao stepped forward curiously, picked up the thing, and took it in his hand to observe it carefully.
It's a ring-shaped pedestal, and the whole thing exudes a dark glow, which looks extraordinary. One side has a tiny rod that can be seen to be inlaid with other parts, which should be part of an object.
Han Yunhao touched those rods with his fingers, and the base suddenly shook, shooting out a dazzling light. He quickly closed his eyes and removed his hand, thinking to himself, "It seems that the iron pickaxe touched this place just now, otherwise I would not have been able to find it in the gray environment." ”
Qianlong Island is not as good as the royal families of the four countries on the mainland, but it can be regarded as a profound heritage. Han Yunhao is not an uninformed country boy, he often comes into contact with the treasures in the family, but he can't compare to the feeling that this thing in front of him gives him.
A strong desire to possess!
If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!
While he was still pondering whether this feeling was good or bad, a gong-like voice sounded from outside the cave: "Big brother, did you see it just now, is there a light flickering inside?"
Another hoarse voice whispered: "You be quiet, the others have heard, how can we find the treasure and hand it over to the masters." Last time, the yellow-faced man Liu Ergou dug up one piece, and he was sent to the high-level mine, and he not only ate well every day, but also worked easily. ”
The footsteps of the two people outside came from far to near, and Han Yunhao didn't have time to think about it, so he violently ripped off a piece of cloth from his body, wrapped it around the circular pedestal, and hurriedly stuffed it into his arms. He picked up an iron pickaxe and pretended to keep mining.
Two men, one tall and one short, walked in quickly, and the two of them took a look at Han Yunhao, and were surprised to find someone in the cave. The tall one was a fat man, and when he opened his mouth, he asked, "Black charcoal boy, did you see the glowing baby just now?"
"Big brother, what are you talking about?baby?is this it?" Han Yunhao said with a blank expression. He took out the ore he had just dug up and spread it out to the other party, trying to fool him.
"Boy, don't scream, this is the big brother. The fat man stretched out his hand and pointed to the short blue-faced man, and he held his head high and continued, "I am your second brother." ”
After the blue-faced man came in, he was not busy talking. He looked around closely, saw the abrupt gravel on the ground, and let out a long breath of relief.
He waved his hand to stop the fat man's verbal entanglement, and hugged his fist at Han Yunhao and said, "Brother, my brother is a bit silly, I can't deceive." You're good-looking, you're a scholar, aren't you? Leave things to me, and our two brothers will cover you in the future. ”
The fat man blinked his eyes, scratched his head to figure it out, and said viciously: "Bastard, you dare to lie to me." The Ah Niu who messed with me last time has been fed to the dog with his head broken, do you want to accompany him?"
The guy rolled up his sleeves as he spoke, and raised his fist the size of a casserole.
Know that the situation is not good. Han Yunhao was reluctant to hand over the treasure, so he walked out around the two. Pretending not to understand, he said: "The two eldest brothers don't want to dig up the ore, then I won't bother you to find the treasure." This place will be given to you, and you will look for it again. ”
"Don't pretend to be stupid in front of me! You have a little piece of cloth on your body, you just tore it, right? Your chest is bulging, what's in it?" The blue-faced man analyzed it very thoroughly, and he sneered: "Er Fat, you go to search him, and if you dare to resist, you will kill him." ”
Han Yunhao secretly screamed in his heart, the time was too rushed, and he couldn't further hide the traces. This guy has a very poisonous eye and sees so many flaws. Immediately decided, he brandished an iron pickaxe and ran to the entrance of the cave, intending to flee with the road.
"Bang!"
The fat man raised the tool in his hand to block it, and a powerful concussive force came, smashing Han Yunhao's iron pickaxe and flying out. His body was shocked to the side, and the back of his heart barely avoided the blow of the blue-faced man, but his left chest was swept straight.
Large swaths of blood bubbled out from Han Yunhao's body, and he fell to the ground with a thud, barely raised his head, and said with a dying breath: "A treasure, who are you two for?"
After speaking, he lowered his head, and the boy stopped moving.
