Chapter 16 Caught and Revealed
Suddenly, a hand appeared, and quickly grasped the crystal nucleus and hid it in the palm of his hand.
Zhang Tian looked at the owner of this hand, it turned out to be Messi.
I saw him flattering and said, "Master, this crystal nucleus must be well stored, otherwise it will not be saved." ”
Zhang Tian said a little indifferently, "It's nothing if it's discovered, anyway, it can make everyone's life better, which is also good." ”
"No, master, you don't know that crystal nuclei are worth a lot of money outside.
When we find an opportunity to escape, this crystal nucleus can allow us to live a prosperous life. ”
When Zhang Tian heard Messi's words, his heart was also touched a little.
If you can go out and live a free life, it is better than working as a free laborer in the mines, and maybe there will be a chance to return to China.
He asked Messi, "Do you have a way to escape?"
Messi said with certainty: "Don't worry, I've been here for a long time, and I'm sure I'll escape." ”
Zhang Tian thought about it, if he could go out, it would always be good to have some silver taels on his body.
He nodded and whispered, "I'll keep it in good order, and you can arrange the outing." ”
Seeing Zhang Tian collect the crystal nucleus again, Messi's face smiled even more, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
He told again, "Master, be sure to hide it closely. ”
Zhang Tian nodded in understanding, then leaned against the mountain wall, and looked at the top of the cave passage with his eyes open,
He was very excited in his heart, and he kept imagining what it would be like for him to finally return to Shenzhou after he escaped.
Zhang Tian suddenly felt that his chest was getting hotter and hotter, and he thought that he had covered the crystal nucleus with heat, so he didn't care.
The other miners also sat down to rest, but they would secretly look at Zhang Tian and Messi, and their eyes were indescribably deep.
I don't know how long I rested, Messi came to Zhang Tian out of the mine and went to the main mine to meet.
Coming out of the cave, the guards saw that Zhang Tian's group was in good spirits, and thought that Zhang Haotian could not lead these subordinates to work.
He immediately stopped in front of everyone and roared angrily, "Why are you all clean, haven't you worked today?"
Another group of miners who happened to pass by next to them, all of them were dirty, tired, and numb and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
"The rest of the original group is too good, and it makes people suspicious. Zhang Tian thought secretly.
Seeing that no one answered, the guard became even more angry, and immediately raised his whip and shouted, "If you don't work, then don't think about eating tonight." ”
After he finished speaking, he was about to whip people, but Zhang Tianxian was so frightened that he blocked it with his hand.
"Don't be angry, my lord, we did the work, if you don't believe it, you can go in and take a look, and you will know that I am not lying. ”
Messi hurriedly explained to the guard, who didn't believe it at all.
After talking for a long time, the guard said viciously, "It's the same when I go in, I can't eat without work." ”
After he finished saying cruel words, he went into the hole to see, because Messi never dared to lie to himself.
"Oh, the god Nass is above, how did you do so much work today!"
Soon the exclamations of the guards were heard in the cave, and all the miners smiled meaningfully, and Zhang Tian's mood became happy.
After a while, the guards slowly walked out and looked at Zhang Tian and the others suspiciously.
After a long time, he said, "It's not dirty today, but you've done a lot of work, how did you do it?" ”
Messi hurriedly stepped forward to curry favor and said, "My lord, our new boss has a lot of experience in mining, and we can do more work with him to guide us." ”
Hearing Messi's explanation, the guard said happily, "Huang boy is great, okay, you have done so much work today, you have earned me face, and I will give you more food at night." ”
"Oh hooray!"
All the miners were happy, and Zhang Tian saw that he had brought happiness to others, and his heart was also very happy.
Led by the guards, the crowd walked towards the exit of the mine.
Zhang Tian was very happy, Messi said that he had done a lot of work today, and maybe the whole group could add meals, and even meat dishes.
He even walked a little lightly, and his strength actually increased, maybe he could live a better life here.
Messi said triumphantly to Zhang Tian, "The master is careful with his feet, don't trip over the pebbles." ”
Through this day's getting along, Zhang Tian felt that this Messi person was not bad, and he was very enthusiastic about himself, but the eyes of other miners were a little strange when they looked at him.
When I arrived at the entrance of the mine, many soldiers immediately came to inspect the miners' team, and they searched every part of their bodies.
Zhang Tian suddenly remembered that the miners who came out of the cave were to be inspected, but the crystal nucleus was hidden in his body, what should he do now.
He looked at the guard in front of him, and wanted to hand over the crystal nucleus immediately so as not to be discovered.
But Messi grabbed Zhang Tian with his hand, shook his head and stopped it with his eyes.
Zhang Tian stopped handing in nervously, not knowing what to do next, but seeing Messi's confident appearance, he could only hope that he had a way to help him escape the inspection.
The smiling guard in a good mood was bragging about his group's results with the other guards, and from time to time let out a smug laugh.
"Look, it's this yellow boy. The guard suddenly turned around and patted Zhang Tian on the shoulder and said proudly and loudly.
Zhang Tian was almost scared to death, his feet couldn't stop shaking, could it be that the guards found out.
"Haha, I was a little late yesterday when I went to pick up the new miners, and no one wanted this skinny little kid.
I was disappointed to bring him back, but I didn't expect that he was a good miner, and he did more than ten strong men. ”
The guards shouted to the other guards to bluff their good luck, and did not forget to push Zhang Tian in front of him and introduce him to others.
The other guards looked at Zhang Tian enviously, and the miners in the other groups also looked at him in surprise, unable to figure out how much crystal rock a child could dig.
Zhang Tian heard that the guards were praising himself, so he was relieved and didn't find out.
"Damn slave, dare to steal the Duke's crystal nucleus, go and die. Ahh
At the gate of the cave wall, a soldier suddenly grabbed a miner and cursed, and then pierced the man's body with a steel spear in his hand.
While the man was still wailing and struggling, the soldier raised his steel spear high and hurled it high in the mine.
The soldier pointed to the top of the mine and yelled at everyone, "Whoever digs into the crystal nucleus and doesn't do it will end up like him." ”
Zhang Tian looked up, only to find that the top of the mine was full of corpses.
Some were fresh, some were dry, the miner who had been nailed up was still twitching, and some of the blood was dripping right on Zhang Tian's face.
He was scared again, and looked back at Messi uneasily, and saw that this enthusiastic and good man smiled encouragingly at him, but his eyes were a little slanted.
The guard suddenly said, "Go and get checked, I'll take you to a barbecue out of the mine." ”
When Zhang Tian was still glad that he had not been caught, he was pushed to the soldiers by the guards and said loudly proudly.
He saw those strange thick-armored soldiers stretching out their hands to him, and the horror in his heart was incomprehensible, and he only hoped that the crystal nucleus on his body would not be found.
However, the soldier soon found a bulge on Zhang Tian's body and shouted, "What is this, there are still people who dare to hide the crystal nucleus!"
