In the last years of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, it coincided with the troubled times, the princes rose together, the heroes were self-reliant, the world was divided into one hundred and eight princes, three hundred and sixty-six small princes, and there were countless powerful lords who supported the land and supported themselves in small countries. A mountain people who don't know where they came from and don't know where they are going, were forcibly captured by soldiers and put into the mine camp for service-

[The eastern border of the Great Wilderness], [Zhongyouzhen], [Zhongrong County], there is a [Ming Junji Mountain], which is rich in iron and stone.

At the foot of the mountain, it is one of the prefectures of [Zhongrong County] [Qingshan Mansion], [Qingshan Mansion] Fu Zheng, ordered the Zhutun under his jurisdiction to build [Mine Li Camp], open the mountain and dig stones, smelt gold and smelt iron, for military needs.

The sky is blue, the white clouds are long, the unknown birds of prey are hovering in the sky, and they are singing, and the ancient earth is scorched by the flames cast by the golden crow, and everything is green.

In a horseshoe-shaped col at the foot of the mountain, countless ragged mines clanged against large rocks, and the ant tribe generally carried the crushed stones on their bare shoulders and sent them to the hearth where the heat wave was churning, and put them into it for burning and quenching.

Gu Yi, who was slender, licked his chapped lips, but his dry tongue could not bring even a trace of moisture to the bursting and oozing lip skin, clenched his swollen and congested teeth, numbly moved his legs and feet, and staggered towards the stone field where the ore was piled up.

Throwing a basin-sized piece of ore on his shoulder onto the stone pile, Gu Yi swallowed his swollen throat with difficulty, raised his dirty arm and wiped his eyes blurred with sweat, and the red skin on his arm was stained with sweat.

"Hurry up, you two-legged donkeys, do you have to wait for the master to smoke you before you move?"

The miner's obscure accent, accompanied by the whip twisted by the old vine, whistled together, and in the sound of "crackling" flesh, Gu Yi, who felt that the skin and muscles on his back seemed to be torn, rolled to the ground with a miserable scream, but provoked the more and more crazy whipping of the miner who laughed wildly.

After the psychologically distorted miner finished venting his tyrannical emotions, he kicked Gu Yi with satisfaction, and walked away with a mouth full of foul language, Gu Yi endured bursts of dizziness and severe pain all over his body, and struggled to get up.

Lowering his head, hiding the crazy hatred in his eyes, Gu Yi staggered and crawled towards the mountainside again, he knew that he couldn't faint here, otherwise he would be woken up by the whip again if he was lucky, if he was not lucky. It will be thrown directly into the burning hearth and burned as "human oil".

There was a thunderous roar from his dry stomach, and Gu Yi, who felt that his stomach bags were twitching, gritted his teeth, followed the rude roar of the miner, and followed behind a column of miners who seemed to be walking dead, and a little slower would provoke a whipping for no reason at all.

Walking to the edge of the pit that had been dug and riddled with holes, he picked up a crowbar thicker than his arm, wrapped in rough bark, and inserted it into the crack of the stone, and followed the hoarse horn to pry hard, ignoring that the palm of his hand had been blistered with blood from the rough bark, and his confused mind only thought about when he would be able to stop work and put food, although the barnyard porridge a day was unpalatable, but it could provide him with the energy to continue living the next day.

Coming to this strange place inexplicably, Gu Yi didn't have much energy to think about whether his ridiculous dignity and personality had been hurt and trampled on, and his eyes, which had almost lost focus, were frantically burning with a flame called "persistence": he wanted to live!

"Click!"

A crisp sound woke Gu Yi up, the crowbar as thick as an arm in his hand suddenly broke, and the boulders that dozens of mines struggled to pry, like giant beasts, slowly turned over, along the inclined slope, with a roar like the sky and the earth cracking, and rolled down, crashing and crushing countless boulders along the way, and the smoke and dust rising straight up to the sky, which was extremely spectacular!

The next moment, Gu Yi only felt that the broken rock under his feet not only did not calm down with the distance of the boulder, but instead trembled more and more violently like a sieve, and the surrounding stones jumped up like a dance, and the earth-shattering roar from all directions sounded together with the exclamations of the miners: "The ground has sunken!

Without waiting for Gu Yi to react, a terrifying crack snaggled under his feet like an electric snake, and he screamed in horror, Gu Yi and dozens of surrounding mine officials screamed miserably and fell into the cracks in the ground, and the hillside where he was originally standing collapsed into a large pit hundreds of meters in circumference and dozens of meters deep.

The miners roared and tried to suppress the fleeing miners, while several guards dressed in kudzu clothes hurried to visit them, pointing to the bottom of the pit full of rubble and smiling: "Very good! Very good! This is a lot of effort!"

As for the dozens of miners who were buried in the rubble, no one put a trace of thought into it, and when the smoke and dust cleared and the rubble settled, countless insensitive miners stepped into the pit again and picked up pieces of gravel and sent them to the stone yard, ignoring the possibility that they might be buried in the rubble next...... After a long time, Gu Yi woke up from the darkness, and there was no pain in his body as if he had been crushed!

Choking out a few mouthfuls of blood, Gu Yi struggled to get up, kneaded his body, and found that he had not suffered any serious injuries except for the pain in his flesh.

After enduring the pain and groping in the dark for a while, Gu Yi realized that he should have fallen into a crack in the ground, and happened to roll into a crypt, so that he was spared from being buried by rubble, which was a blessing in misfortune.

Gu Yi groped for the rubble piled up at the entrance of the cave in the dark, although he was not dead, this situation was not far from death, could he still expect those miners who did not treat the mine subordinates as human beings to organize people to save it?

Slowly sat down with his back against the cave wall, Gu Yi gasped slightly, silently accumulating his physical strength, in the dark environment, his eyes were frantically burning with unwilling flames, but the pain and hunger made him dizzy and uncontrollable half asleep.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Yi woke up quietly, moved slightly, but was stimulated by the injury on his body, "hiss~" gasped, and then was stunned to find that he was still alive!?

In the absolute silence, Gu Yi reacted, the cave where he was accommodated, there was no trace of suffocation, it was said that he was buried in the underground cave, even if he was not stoned to death or seriously injured, he would be suffocated due to lack of oxygen, and he would die without pain in his sleep, right?

Where there is air, that means there is access to the outside world!
