In front of these nearly 400 people, there is a very simple high platform, on which stands a gorgeously dressed, pot-bellied middle-aged man, he looked at the people under the stage who were weak and seemed to be unable to stand on their feet with a trace of disgust, but when he saw the bag dragged by those people, his eyes lit up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He picked up the megaphone in his hand and put it in front of his mouth, and said loudly: "One by one, they are all lined up, I have something to announce to you now, I have already told you before you start work this morning, from today onwards, the rules set before will be changed, and I will tell you about the changes in the rules, and if you don't say it, it means that the status quo is maintained." ”

"First of all, from today onwards, the amount of magic crystals that everyone needs to hand in every day will be increased from the original fifteen standard blocks to twenty standard blocks. ”

"You devils, you devils who eat people and don't spit out bones!" As soon as the middle-aged man on the high platform finished the first point, the three or four hundred people in the audience suddenly became agitated, and a gray-haired, skinny old man pointed at the middle-aged man and scolded excitedly.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, a thug with a leather whip directly whipped several whips on the old man's back, and the old man, who was already a little thin and unstable, could still withstand the whip, and fell to the ground after just a few strokes, but the thug did not have any intention of letting the old man go, he stepped forward and kicked the old man a few times, and then scolded and walked away.

A young man next to the old man couldn't help but want to make a move, but was stopped by an old woman next to him, "Child, bear with me, we can't fight this group of devils." ”

Seeing that the restless crowd had quieted down, the middle-aged man on the high platform cleared his throat and continued: "Okay, since you have no objection to the first point, then I now announce the second point, starting tomorrow, as long as anyone fails to complete the task, then the people of his village will be punished." Looking at the crowd that was stirring up again, the middle-aged man added unhurriedly: "Don't worry, listen to what I say, don't some of you dig more every day? ”

Looking at the crowd in the audience that became restless again, the middle-aged man's face flashed with a hint of anger, "Shut up for me, whoever argues again will give me an extra five standard magic crystals tomorrow." ”

As soon as the middle-aged man's words came out, the crowd that was still restless just now suddenly quieted down, and no one wanted to hand over five standard pieces of magic crystals the next day, because if anyone wanted to pay more of these magic crystals, it basically meant that he didn't want to complete the prescribed amount the next day.

Every day, they enter the cave before the sun comes out and start digging for magic crystals, and they dig until it is completely dark at night, but even if they dig for such a long time every day, sometimes they are unlucky and can't even complete the prescribed amount, and if they can't complete the prescribed amount, it means that they can't eat the only meal every night, and they can only go hungry.

And usually, such a person who can't finish it in one day will not be able to complete it the next day, because the next day he must first make up for the amount missing the previous day, and the rest can be counted as the amount dug the next day, which also leads to the fact that if he is not particularly lucky, he will never be able to complete the prescribed amount every day, and the vicious circle continues.

"It's quiet, and now I announce the third ......"

"Your Excellency. When the middle-aged man was about to announce the third point, a young man suddenly walked up to him and whispered a few words in his ear. After the young man finished speaking, the middle-aged man's face was instantly filled with joy, he threw the megaphone in his hand to the young man, and after a few words, he couldn't wait to go towards the only three-story building in the valley.

Inside a chic room.

The middle-aged man who was speaking on the high platform just now was sitting on a chair at this time, and in front of him stood a very beautiful young girl in her twenties, the middle-aged man looked at the girl standing in front of him with some greed, and the naked possessiveness in his eyes was undisguised.

"Fili, I told you at the beginning that making money is not as easy as you imagined, but you didn't believe it, and now two years have passed, you finally understand. The middle-aged man put on a preachy look, and then asked with hope: "Then have you figured it out when you come back this time?" Although two years have passed, but what we said at that time still counts, this is also you Fili, if it is replaced by someone else, I will not bother to deal with her." ”

The middle-aged man took out a piece of paper from the drawer, walked up to Fili and said, "Sign this paper, I will release your family immediately, and buy them an independent courtyard in the town of Syr, you can also go to see them when you want them in the future, how about it?"

The middle-aged man couldn't help but put his hand on Fili as he spoke, but he was easily dodged by Fili, a trace of anger flashed on his face, and he shouted angrily at Fili: "What do you mean by this? Don't be embarrassed!"

A sneer flashed on Fili's face: "What do I mean, didn't you know what I meant two years ago, why do you want me to say it again now?"

"Then why are you coming back? You don't mean to tell me that it took you two years to make enough money, do you?!" the middle-aged man chuckled.

Fili didn't bother to refute him with words, she just took out a diamond coin from her arms, threw it into the middle-aged man's hand, and said coldly: "Ten thousand gold coins, according to the one thousand gold coins I said at the beginning, I will take ten people today." ”

The middle-aged man looked at the diamond coin thrown by Fili in his hand, and a trace of coldness flashed on his face, "Okay, I, Bowers, am not a person who doesn't count when he talks. ”

Bowers opened the door and called in a man from outside, pointed at Fili, and then commanded the man, "Take her over, let him take ten men." ”

"Yes!" the man replied respectfully, and walked out with Fili.

After Fillie left, Bowles's face became more and more gloomy, and he called one of his men and ordered: "Go and inform Captain Lacs, send someone to follow Fillie, get out of the checkpoint, and find a place to kill them all." ”

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

A convoy drove mightily on a dirt road.

In the carriage at the front of the convoy, an old man in a white robe said to the black-clothed young man sitting next to him, "You really don't worry about Elena at all?"

The young man in black stretched his waist and said with a light smile: "Hehe, does she need us to worry, I guess she is having a good time now! If you want to worry, you should also be worried that Lancaster actually paid attention to the golden dragon, haha, what a courage!"

Listening to the words of the young man in black, the old man in white robe also smiled helplessly: "Hey, who would have thought that such a little girl would be a golden dragon, it is estimated that the little guy is crying now!"

"Stop, this is private territory, idle people, etc., no trespassing. Just as the black-clothed young man and the white-robed old man were chatting, a guard-like person suddenly blocked in front of their carriage and stopped them with a loud voice.

On the edge of the 'V' valley there is a row of very simple single rooms made of wooden planks, and in one of the single rooms, which is only about five or six square meters, the old man who was beaten just now because of his dissatisfaction is lying on a pile of hay with a weak breath, and beside the old man, there are six men and women with sad expressions.

One of them, a young man of about twenty-six or seventeen years old, with two lines of crystal tears on his face, looked at the dying old man, he clenched his fists, pounded the ground fiercely, and shouted with a sad expression: "These beasts, I must kill them, I must!"

After the young man finished speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, but the old woman sitting beside him hurriedly grabbed him, and said with the same sad expression: "Child, they are devils, we can't fight them, and if you go now, you will only die in vain, bear with it." ”

"Patience?!" The young man looked at the old woman with a somewhat hideous face and said: "Grandma, we have endured it for more than two years, but what did we get in exchange for our patience, in exchange for more cruel exploitation and torture of those beasts, in the past, we only had to hand in ten standard blocks of magic crystals every day, but then it rose to fifteen standard blocks, and now it has risen to twenty standard blocks, how many of us can dig up twenty standard blocks." Grandma, even Grandpa is dying from being beaten by them, how long do we have to endure it! It's better to fight with them now, even if I die, I'll have to pull a few more cushions. ”

"Bastard thing. The old woman didn't know where the strength came from, so she slapped the young man to the ground, "Die, you know death, we are not dead, and it will not be your turn to fight hard." ”

After the old woman finished scolding, her face suddenly softened, she helped the young man up, and said softly: "Child, we are all old, even if we don't die now, we won't have many years to live, but you are different, you are still young, child, you still have a great future, so you must endure until you go out from here." ”

"Go out?" the young man smiled bitterly and said, "Is it still possible for us to go out?" A thousand gold coins can only be exchanged for a person's freedom, in the past two years, only a few of those who have gone out have come back to take away their relatives, even if it is the best one, it only takes away his two relatives, there are seven of us in total, if we want to leave here, it will take seven thousand gold coins, seven thousand gold coins, even two years ago, our family could only earn a hundred gold coins a year at most, even if Fili is capable, seven thousand gold coins, can she earn it in a short period of time?! ”

Although the old woman knew that it was almost impossible for Fili to earn seven thousand gold coins in the short term, she always held a glimmer of hope in her heart, "Child, Fili has been smart since she was a child, I believe that she will be able to earn enough money, even if she doesn't earn enough, it doesn't matter, just let her take you out, anyway, my old bone doesn't have much to live, and it's not worth spending another thousand gold coins for me." ”
