Inside the not-so-bright tunnel, a group of workers in heavy hazmat suits who looked like they had stepped out of a science fiction game were wielding pickaxes and shovels and digging hard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

They use a shovel to dig out the dirt piece by piece, and use a pickaxe when they encounter stones, whether it is a pickaxe or a shovel, they use the "semi-enchanted" technology, which is very labor-saving when digging the soil, and it will be more difficult when encountering stones, but it can still be solved after all.

The excavated earth and gravel were shoveled onto two nearby trucks, and for each truck, someone pushed the cart out and up the inclined tunnel to the treatment station near the exit, where it was replaced by an empty truck.

As for the dirt or gravel sent to the processing station, it will be purified by the apprentice magician who works there to activate a magic circle, and after purification, other workers will take over and send it to the surface for other uses.

It's hard work, and ordinary people can't do it. Even if you do it reluctantly, you will be as tired as a dead dog, and within a few days, you will accumulate a body of illness. These excavators are carefully selected from the pioneers, the original body is relatively strong, and after half a month of training and conditioning before the start of construction, there is meat all of a sudden, and now all the bodies are in the peak state, if they fight empty-handed, the adventurers who have just entered the industry may not be able to beat them.

And among them, there is one protective suit with a particularly conspicuous color, and it is their captain.

Compared to those strong men, this captain is shorter, and his body is not so strong. But his work efficiency is higher than everyone else, a closer study, you will find that he uses tools more flexible and ingenious than others, and the posture of digging is more reasonable, it is the gap in technology that produces the gap in work ability.

And he can still take the time to pay attention to his surroundings while working. For example, to see if the wooden strips used to support the top of the tunnel are strong enough, for example, to check the plumb line to see if the direction of the excavation is correct, and for example, to check everyone's protective clothing and tools to see if there are any hidden dangers......

All in all, he is not only a worker, but also an inspector, and a nanny, and he can do the things of several people by himself, but he can do it smoothly, although he dare not say that he is particularly outstanding, at least he can cope with everything.

That's ability!

At first, the strong men were very unconvinced by this captain who was obviously a circle smaller than them, especially when they learned that this man was actually a miner, neither a retired adventurer nor a down-and-out nobleman, and like them, they were all pioneers from the south, who had only come a few years before them.

But after more than a month, they all took it.

In the same time, the captain is able to do more work than them, and after work, the captain still has time to take care of this and that, and he is not as tired as them after work.

What is this? That's what it's capable of!

Not only that, but he even read and wrote. These workers had to sign contracts before they worked, and he read and explained them, and those who could not sign could only put a handprint, and he also signed their names next to the handprints after asking their names one by one.

The level of education in this world is very low, and even if there was a god who made knowledge and education his priesthood a few years ago, he was limited in what he could do in the face of the fact that most of the common people did not even have enough to eat. And these pioneers were relatively poor among the common people, let alone literate, and many of them did not even have a decent name.

For them, the skill of "reading and literacy" is too high-end and high-end to ride!

The pioneers dared to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to beg for a living in the barren land where the legendary skeletons eat people. But no matter how bold they are, they are still ordinary civilians after all, not adventurers who lick blood with knives, nor are they nobles or officials who are accustomed to deceit, their essence is still simple and honest, and they will naturally admire and bow their heads in the face of outstanding people.

As a result, the authority of the captain was naturally established, and everyone became accustomed to obeying the captain's leadership.

There is no daylight in the tunnel, only the glowing magic stone embedded in the roof of the cave is illuminated, but fortunately, there is a table clock in the corner, which can tell everyone the time.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the captain beckoned everyone to call it a day.

"It's early, let's do it a little longer. Someone said so.

"yes, didn't you just rest?"

Because pay is directly linked to the amount of work, workers want to do more. But the captain didn't agree, he emphasized "safety first", and hurriedly asked everyone to finish their work and return to the ground.

Of course, they also have to undergo purification first, and when the purification is complete, they can take off their heavy protective clothing.

Safety first is the iron rule of the construction site. Anyone who does not understand this rule and does not follow it, even once, will be expelled immediately.

A group of people stood inside the purification circle, watching the milky white light flow through their bodies like flowing water, and couldn't help but smile at each other.

I remember the first time they were purified, some people shouted and screamed, fearing that they would be drowned, and even the captain couldn't hold it down. Later, I found out that there was a big oolong and was ridiculed by the supervisor in charge.

The overseer was a young man, only fifteen or sixteen years old, but although he was young, he was already a full-fledged magician, which was really enviable!

As a spellcaster, his social status is extremely high, according to the rules of society, don't say a few words of ridicule, even if you beat someone to death on the spot, it is nothing. But this young man is actually quite kind and approachable, and he should say what he should say and laugh at, and he is no different from the child next door.

Well, there's definitely a difference, the kid next door isn't as good as him.

In other words, this outstanding teenager is the real "child next door".

This world also has a tradition similar to that on earth, when parents criticize their children, they often use how good the "child next door" is as an example, but the child next door of an ordinary civilian family, no matter how good it is, how can it be compared to a noble spellcaster?

...... Maybe the captain's children can, assuming he still has time to marry a wife and have children.

Raif put the tools on the tool rack, put on the protective suit to the washing room, turned the switch, let the water soaked in positive energy flow down slowly, rinsed his body, then turned off the switch, took off the protective clothing, returned to the tool room, and hung it on the drying rack next to it.

He shook his head, turned his body, and moved his somewhat stiff body, which had been working for hours on end, and after exercising for a while, he felt completely comfortable and sighed deeply.

"It's really tiring to be a captain!"

Tiredness is inevitable, others are busier than others when they are busy, others can not rest when they are resting, to check the situation of tools and protective clothing after work every day to avoid accidents. When everything is checked and dinner is over, if he has time, he will go to the magic school to audit, or go to the library to read books and study on his own. Compared with those who wander around to kill time after eating, or simply go to the tavern to laugh and laugh, or the wife and children hot kang head, they are naturally much more tired.

But it's a life he chooses for himself, and he's happy with it.

Principal Ferex has said that human life is very short, and instead of wasting time complaining or having fun, it is better to do something that makes you wait until you are old and dying, look back, and make yourself smile.

Reif felt that if he continued like this, he would be able to laugh when he was old and dying.

It's a pity that he lacks the talent for magic and can't become a mage, otherwise it would be even better!

After checking everyone's tools and protective suits, Reif walked out of the tool room and saw several workers talking and smiling waiting outside, and greeted him with a smile when they saw him come out.

These people were waiting for him.

Seeing these workers, Reif also smiled.

"Hey, Captain. ”

"You're a little late today, is there something wrong with the tool?"

"No problem, it's just that a few people haven't washed their protective suits. ”

"Hahaha! Let me guess, is it straw and wheat?"

"yes, who else could it be. ”

"These guys! I've heard they don't even wash their feet before going to bed at night. ”

"What?!!, then how could their wife let them go to bed?"

"God knows, if I dare not wash my feet at night, my wife will definitely kick me down. ”

"Wake up, brother, where did you come from, wife!"

"I'm just giving you an analogy, captain, right. ”

“...... Can I beat you up?"

"Don't! I'm just kidding, Captain, don't get angry. ”

"But then again, Captain, you are a bit of a stature now, and you are still literate, why don't you ask for a wife? I think if you go to ask for a wife, even if you are the daughter of the owner of the grocery store Harman, you can afford to marry. ”

"Oh my God! Boss Haman's daughter is only twelve years old!

"Thinking about what to eat tonight. ”

"Hahaha! That's right, what's going to be for tonight?"

"Let's go to the tavern to eat, the chef of the tavern has been to Lanxiang Technical School to audit, and the barbecue is very good!"

"Eat barbecue every day, don't you get tired? I want to drink fish soup. ”

"Fish soup is very expensive, a pot costs two silver coins!"

“...... Hey, why are you all looking at me?"

"Of course I'm looking at you, Captain, you're rich. The last time we received our salaries together, I noticed that there were several golden coins!"

"How could I make friends like you!"

"Hahaha! It's a big deal, next time I'll have a treat. ”

“...... Are you sure you're going to have a treat next time?

"Huh?!

“...... I should have beaten you up!"

"Next time we have a holiday, let's go fishing in the river. My wife said she saw fish in the river yesterday. ”

"Wow, that's not the way you can cook your own fish soup and drink it!"

“...... If you dare to cook it, we don't dare to drink it, so it's better to catch it and ask the chef for help. ”

"Captain, you look down on me too much! I was also a rabbit catcher in the mountains and fish and shrimp in the water!"

"You just blow it, catch rabbits in the mountains and catch fish and shrimp in the water, and you end up running here to beg for a living?

"I'm not done yet, I mean, my neighbor was this kind of person back then, and I learned a little bit along with it. ”

"How much have you learned?"

"Probably...... I can get to know rabbits when I go up the mountain, and I can know fish and shrimp when I go down to the water. I'm more familiar with them when they're cooked. ”

“...... Foodie!"

The group talked and laughed, and walked along the newly paved gravel road towards Huishi Town.

At sunset, their bodies seemed to be inlaid with a circle of gold edges, shining. (To be continued.) )
