Chapter 008 Livestock Prison, Cattle Man
A pawn who nodded and followed behind the mine was flattering, kicked away the mine guard who was going to relieve Gu Yi, and personally stepped forward to tear off the rattan rope, and the pry frame was violently cocked at one end, and Gu Yi who was hanging at the other end fell to the ground violently.
The pawn shouted and scolded two nearby miners, and instructed them to lift the "corpse" and throw it into the furnace used for smelting, and the two miners trembled and lifted the "corpse" to be carried, when suddenly one of them exclaimed and threw the corpse to the ground.
The captain whipped the whip in a rage, and the mine officer rolled to the ground with a scream, and retreated with his hands and feet to avoid the whip, crying and distinguishing: "Uncle Tai, Uncle Tai, he is alive, he is still alive!"
"Donkey, he doesn't care if he lives or dies, what does it matter to you?
The angry pawn was about to be whipped again, and the mine, who had already walked away, came over to stop the pawn chief, and said in surprise: "Didn't you die? Didn't you say that you kicked his internal organs that day, and he didn't die after hanging for two or three days?"
The elder of the pawn, who was called "Brad Jaw", blushed: "Xu didn't kick his heart and lungs, so he survived for two more days... Tai Bozheng, if you are humble, you will go to make up for him, and you don't believe that he is still dead!" said and went straight to Gu Yi angrily.
"Wait!"
The interested mine stopped the captain, walked closer and bent down to take a look, and saw that there was indeed a slight rise and fall between Gu Yi's chest and abdomen, and said in surprise: "This donkey is a hard fate! You..."
The mine was shaking the fat on his face, and snorted at the petite and thin one among the two stunned corpse bearers: "You, send this donkey to the livestock prison, and you will feed him in the next few days, if he dies, you will enter the 'blood cage' for him to participate in the 'fighting'!"
The mine officer, who had just been whipped, crawled over and kowtowed, shouting in a panic: "Tai Bozheng! Tai Bo Zheng! I will go for him! I will go for him! He is still a boy, and he can't enter the 'blood cage'..."
Mine Zheng smiled and tapped with his finger: "You old thing, but you think about good things, my 'animal prison' and 'Karma camp' eat and sleep well, you still plan to rush to hide and enjoy happiness?"
As he spoke, he shook his head and turned to leave, with a dark face, he whipped it over violently, and shouted: "Sorry goods! Don't get out of here and get to work!"
The old mine officer looked at the petite mine in a hurry, only to see that he was black and dirty, and the petite mine li, whose face was covered by a messy hair, shook his head slightly, lifted Gu Yi, who was lying on his back, and put his two long legs under his armpits, just like dragging the dog to death, dragging Gu Yi to the "animal prison" of the mine, and the face of the mine who was carrying the ore around couldn't help but show a sad and worried look.
Gu Yi was awakened from the deep darkness by a terrible hunger that melted his stomach, and he groaned hoarsely, only to feel someone close to him, gently supporting the back of his neck, and pouring the cool liquid into his dry lips.
The thirsty Gu Yi swallowed like nectar, slightly soothing the dry pain in his throat and the burning in his stomach, but he swallowed too quickly, the water choked into the trachea, and suddenly coughed violently, and squirted the water out of his nose.
Gu Yi, who struggled to turn over and lie on his side to prevent the water from choking on his lungs, coughed to death, but felt someone gently patting behind him, and Gu Yi, who had eased up, gasped heavily, barely supported his heavy body, and half leaned on the craggy stone wall, using the coolness of the stone wall to quickly wake himself up.
After blinking his blurred eyes a few times, Gu Yi found himself in a long and narrow cave, the bottom of the cave was full of rubble, and a huge iron rock blocked the bottom of the cave.
At the exit of the pit, the fence formed by the thick pig iron pillars sealed the exit, and even the stone pit where the pillars were buried, the iron juice was poured and welded to death, and a palm-thick iron pillar was crossed on the iron fence to seal the only exit.
Outside the cave, two miners wandered from time to time, guarding against the escape of the prisoners in the cave, and at the entrance of the cave, there were five or six stout, tattered clothes, and bearded men who looked like savages, and from time to time glanced at Gu Yi lying at the bottom of the cave with gloomy eyes.
"Little... Brother, this... Where is it?"
Gu Yi asked the thin miner who took care of himself hoarsely, seeing that he was only about thirteen or fourteen years old, his eyes shrank in the corner beside him in panic, avoiding the gloomy eyes of those strong men at the entrance of the cave, and there was a dirty black broken bamboo tube beside him, which he had obviously used to feed himself with water before.
was stunned by Gu Yi's "little brother" call, the thin mine Li looked at Gu Yi in a daze, his long unkempt hair covered his dirty little face, and a pair of bright eyes looked at him timidly in the gap between the gray and fluffy hair, and the grass on his body was quite complete, not like other mines that were wrapped in tatters like a pile of rotten grass.
Grass is not so much a garment, but a straw mat tied to the front and back with a straw rope, which is tied down from the head, and a rotten straw rope is tied around the waist as a belt, which is the most common clothing of the miners.
To Gu Yi's words, the thin little mine Li shook his head gently, and obediently picked up the dirty broken bamboo tube and handed it to Gu Yi's lips.
Seeing that the thin little mine didn't speak, Gu Yi didn't think much about it, he felt that his physical strength was gradually recovering, and the original sweet water was now full of thick fishy smell, so he shook his head to indicate that he was not thirsty, but his eyes fell on a stone trough at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing that the dusty trough was covered with moss, and a small half-puddle of turbid liquid was accumulating in the trough, Gu Yi couldn't help frowning, and his stomach was churning for a while, but he was not so hungry.
The mine cave is not deep, only seven or eight meters shallow, but even himself and the small mine are stuffed together with a total of eight people, the taste in the cave is naturally not better, plus the cave is dark and damp, the bottom of the cave faintly smells of disgust, the environment is extremely bad, and it is worse than the prison circle where hundreds of mine members were crowded together before.
From the strong men who occupied the entrance of the cave with a better air and environment, the gloomy eyes and the faint hostility, Gu Yi probably understood why he and the small mine were in the depths of the stinking hole, but it was strange that it was rare to see this kind of strong man in the mine camp, and even if there were, it was also those fierce and vicious miners, these strong men knew at a glance that Lu Dao was a good laborer, and for some reason he was imprisoned here like himself.
