Chapter 363: Contradictions

I never thought I'd be a crow's mouth.

One of the places I casually pointed to was really a golden vein. Of course, it should be said that it is a section of the golden vein. Those Dongying ronins organized a lot of local people, and they also dug together. I thought Ito's patience was only three days, but I didn't expect him to organize people to dig for a week. And I spent a week with Lu Jia, feeding her, washing her, and soothing her to sleep.

I might have imagined that in the real world, she was in the hospital, too. It's just that she can't eat, she can't sleep. I don't know if what I told her at the beginning and bring her back to real life will come true. Maybe I didn't try at all. Or maybe I'm addicted to this "wild" era. I've fallen in love with the days when I call for wind and rain here, and maybe when I go back, I'll still be the little brother who delivers couriers. It may even be a ghost who can see himself lying there with his corpse.

I can't stop myself from thinking like this all the time, sometimes it's like falling asleep, and when the outside world disturbs me to wake up, I will have a layer of white sweat on my body.

"Mu Wu, I knew you were a trustworthy person. ”

Ito suddenly appeared behind me and spoke. When I woke up, I was not only covered in a cold sweat, but also deeply fearful. I really can't control myself, and I could get into this sleepwalking fantasy at any time. Just like just now, I was going to take the basin to wash Lu Jia's face. The basin that fell to the ground was broken in half, and the copper smelting technology at that time was developed enough, but the farmers could afford to use the copper basin too little, and the copper was impure, and there were too many impurities in it.

"What did you say?" I really didn't hear Ito say to me.

"We dug down from where you pointed out, and after seven days of digging, we found gold. ”

"You don't have metallurgical materials, how do you know you've dug up gold?" I actually thought at first. Ito may be a good leader, but he is not a qualified metallurgist. There are more than 2,000 Dongying ronins who obey him. This is already rare, after all, he grew up in Middle-earth, and is half Chinese. There are more than 2,000 Dongying ronins, and there is no one who understands metallurgy. So when they moved away, they didn't take anything like gold.

I thought, first find a random place to hang him, and when he finds someone to start metallurgy, it is estimated that it will be half a month later.

"Because we found gold that didn't have to be smelted. ”

"What?"

Ito was obviously excited, and he pulled me to where they were mining.

You should believe that ancient people were much more resilient than modern people. They are not assisted by modern machinery and rely entirely on their own hands. Seven days. A large hole with a depth of 60 meters and a diameter of more than 10 meters has been dug. And there is a side hole that I don't know how deep. One after another, "miners" with baskets on their backs came out of the mines. According to Ito's theory, this should be considered a gold mine, so these people should be called miners.

Ito took a piece of ore from a basket behind a miner and handed it to me right under my nose. I picked it up and looked at it, and I couldn't believe how rich the mineral deposits of that era were, and a tenth of the top of a piece of ore was golden. That's gold.

I cut it with hand paper, and the toughness and rigidity are similar to gold, and it may not be as pure as official gold, but it is already remarkable. You're underground. Dig up a stone with gold to buy a house, or more. What would that look like? It's no wonder that people who are so calm in Ito have their eyes shining.

"It's called Mingjin. "Maybe the one who can see these most unfazed is Gu Liuxian.

He's right, we have that name there. The gold that is in the lump on the ore is called Ming Gold or Dog's Head Gold. It's a rarity. Of course, it is relative to our modern over-exploitation and resource depletion. Obviously, the baskets on the backs of the common people are now full of gold.

If you go by the price of modern gold, then they are carrying Porsches or Ferraris on their backs. But there is always discord. There was apparently a commotion underneath the mine. When it was calmed down, two men were carried out.

"What's going on?" I asked one of the miners carrying the body.

It should be the same question, Ito asked one of the ronin overseers who followed behind.

"He was beaten to death by the Dongying people. ”

The overseer also spoke very arrogantly in Japanese. I think their statements must be very different.

"Why?"

"......," the miner was about to answer. The overseer in the back whipped him and told him to hurry away. There are already a lot of people waiting for the back.

Without warning, I rushed to the overseer, grabbed his arm, and twisted him so hard that he was dislocated. Of course, I won't stop there, and if I break any further, the bone will break, and the bone stubble will pierce his flesh and flesh through. He screamed and passed out.

The Dongying ronins behind were all furious, but they didn't dare to make any more moves. They were not only afraid of me, but also of Ito. Because Ito stood there without saying anything, he just looked flatly, as if it wasn't his person who I had just hurt.

You continue. I turned to the miner and said.

"They thought we were stealing gold, so they searched our clothes. The miner said cautiously, obviously scaring him by what I had just done, even though I was helping him," said the two of them, 'This gold mine belongs to us and was found on our land, and even if we take it, it will take our own things. Then they fought, and both of them were killed. ”

"What were you doing at the time?" Look at how many ordinary people are below, I thought that the people in our place were full of banditry, but I didn't expect that they were not much different from those Chinese people in Lu Xun's pen.

"What can we do!"

"Did the two of them steal the gold?" Ito asked him suddenly.

"I don't know. I didn't steal it. The miner said.

Ito asked his men again, in Chinese. The subordinates also replied in stiff Chinese, saying that they had not been found, but the two of them were indeed sneaky in a corner and didn't know what to do.

"Who killed the two of them?" Ito said with a cold face.

Three people confessed, and with the one I knocked unconscious, there were four people.

"Lock the four of them up. The two who died, bury them well, and give their family a piece of gold. "That's the rhythm of wealth.

And that's it? I don't think so.

"Ito, this is the end of the matter, haven't you heard of killing people to pay for their lives?" I stopped the three of them.

"Of course, I know this truth, I just want to give them a dignified way to die. "I know that his so-called dignified death is not to commit suicide by caesarean section. I think that's the only way to die. However, if they die like that, they will be able to serve their majesty the emperor after ascending to heaven.

"Isn't a dignified death a war death?"

He also knew what I meant, but said, "They don't need your help, they apologize to His Majesty the Emperor, and this is the punishment they deserve." If you want to get involved, you'll have to get past me first. ”

The three Dongying ronins knew that Ito was serious, and they felt that they would inevitably die today. But I must not be convinced in my heart, if I kill two Han people, I have to execute four ronin? The three of them are very excited, and you and I are theorizing with Ito. Although it was in Japanese, we couldn't understand it, but we also knew that we were accusing ourselves of killing just a few miners, and we paid for it, so why should we kill people.

They don't understand the truth of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, who made the three of them unlucky. Half of his own team ran away with Muto Yamakawa, and the rest had to hurry.

Ito replied to them coldly, seemingly completely angering the three of them. I saw them rushing towards me. Two of them had iron rods in their hands, and they smashed their heads and faces at me.

I'm certainly not going to let the two of them panic. He drew his sword and slashed it sideways, cutting one person's iron rod into two sections, and the other was more miserable, and the hand holding the iron rod was cut off by me. While he was clutching his bloodied hand, and the pain was frenzy, I went up and stabbed him in the throat with a sword. It is said that the pressure of a human heart can make blood rush out ten meters high, but this guy's carotid artery was cut for me, and it only spurted out three or five meters.
