Chapter 160: Crazy Stone
The man with a bag of juice slowly woke up, opened his mouth and said intermittently, "Who are you?
"Who are you? You don't look like a demon, why do you dare to wander in the wasteland alone?" Wei Shan asked. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"IβIβ" The man was about to say something, but suddenly shut up.
"Hey, Brother Wei, I saw that the person was a dog biting Lu Dongbing, we saved him with kindness, but on the contrary, we doubted us. Said the soldier who had rescued him.
"I'm sorry, I have to, be cautious! I can only tell you that my name is Zhang Xing. "This person said his name, Wei Shan and they may not know that it is such a name that also puts him at great risk, because this name is now a wanted criminal in the No. 5 region, but no one in Emperor Heaven City knows it.
"This is the Emperor, if you don't have a place to go for the time being, you can live here first. "Wei Shan is fierce on the outside but kind on the inside, and before he can figure out Zhang Xing's identity, he wants him to live in Ditian temporarily.
"No, no, I'm going to..." Zhang Xing shouted in a low voice, and tried to stand up with his left hand, and when he was about to stand up with difficulty, his body suddenly fell to the left, Wei Shan quickly grabbed his right arm and pulled him up, but just after standing firmly, Wei Shan immediately let go of Zhang Xing's arm that he was holding, and said with a surprised face: "Your arms are all bones?!"
"What?!" Everyone looked at Zhang Xing's arm in amazement when they heard Wei Shan say this, and when the wind blew, the sleeve on the right side was tightly attached to the body, revealing a thin outline of round bones, and the wide sleeves were faintly exposed with white bones! Looking down, everyone also found that Zhang Xing's left leg had become white bones like his right hand, and it was hard to imagine how a person with legs and feet that had become white bones could walk through the vast desert.
"You?!" Wei Shan wanted to say something, but Zhang Xing limped and was about to leave, but he didn't take a few steps and fell again.
After falling, Zhang Xing did not stand up immediately, he kept pounding the sand with his only intact left hand, and his hoarse throat pierced a low whimper, and he cried! A man who dragged his white bones and legs through the sea of sand was whimpering one after another at this time, and he was still muttering: "It's all useless to me! The brothers fought hard to let me kill it, but I was useless! I didn't!"
"What problems can you tell us. β
Zhang Xing raised his head and Wei Shan's figure was right in front of him, and what he said just now was what he said.
"Is it useful to tell you? That's the matter of the Governors, can you be more powerful than the Rulers? It's all for us!" Zhang Xing roared, his voice full of anger at his own incompetence.
"It's the Directly Governed Again! To be honest with you, we are actually working against the Directly Governed Ones!" Wei Shan said with a smile, but in Zhang Xing's opinion, his words were completely mad people, he had personally seen the horror of the Directly Governed People, so many people, the Directly Governed Ones only sent a small cadre to lead a small army and slaughtered thousands of people! That scene Zhang Xing will never forget!
"Wei Shan!" Han Feng walked over and said, "You can't tell him clearly, I think it's better to leave it to the general, he is better at this kind of thing." β
"It's okay!" Wei Shan just wanted to pull Zhang Xing up, when the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the city, saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao was coming, and Ling Yuan was back!
Turning over the city wall, Ling Yuan saw an extra person on the ground at a glance.
"What's going on?" said Ling Yuan, pointing at Zhang Xing.
"That's right..." A soldier who was more eloquent explained the situation in a few words.
"It's another guy who has been poisoned by the Governors, let's put him in first. Ling Yuan pointed and asked a soldier to take Zhang Xing down and settle it.
This time, it was not only Han Fei but also rabbits who followed Ling Yuan out of the city, this guy is rarely diligent.
"Han Fei, what do you think?" Ling Yuan said as he turned around and went down to the city.
"Don't look at it much!" Han Fei didn't pay attention to it at all, Ling Yuan took a roll of bamboo slips and began to teach the rabbit formation, this situation Ling Yuan was not the first time he encountered it, anyway, his impression of Han Fei was that the cold prince style would not say a few words to a vulgar and illiterate person like him.
Ling Yuan had no choice but to instruct Wei Shandao: "Look at which person, try to ask for useful information, I guess his identity is definitely not simple!"
"Command!" Wei Shan received an order and led several clever soldiers to guard Zhang Xing every day.

There is no shortage of water in the desert, but it is necessary to dig at least 100 meters underground to find an underground water source. Therefore, in the wasteland, you can often see large and small deep wells, and each well must be guarded by a force, which is their lifeblood for them. However, in general, there are not many wells in one place because they don't have that much demand.
However, in this wasteland desert, there are 20 wells, all of which are very large deep wells, each well can meet the daily needs of 10,000 people, so that more than 200,000 people are concentrated in this place. Of course, if it was said that there were really so many people a few days ago, now they are gone. A few days ago, more than 10,000 people were removed from the area, and they disappeared forever into the desert.
There was a fairly tall mountain next to so many wells, and the whole mountain was made of stones, which was rare in a desert wasteland. Even after a long period of wind and sand erosion, this mountain peak is still tall and there is not much weathering, and when people stand at the foot of the mountain, they can hardly feel the wind, even in the weather of the sand city storm, no matter how big the sand city storm is, it cannot move the mountain in the slightest.
There is a man-dug cave on the east side of the mountain, and there are many people busy in it every day. The northwest wind hangs in the desert all the year round, so the workers inside are rarely affected by the wind and sand, but on the west side of the mountain, there are piles of white bones, and the wind sweeps through and occasionally brings an eerie whimper, which makes people shudder. What's even more strange is that despite the constant wind and sand in the desert all year round, these white bones are well preserved, and each skeleton is still glued together intact, as if they are just skinless human bodies.
In the cave below, more than 100,000 workers come and go every day, and they work in the most primitive way, without any ability and energy, they can only rely on their own strength. With a hammer in one hand and an awl in the other, they knock down the needed stones little by little, and then load them up and transport them outside by specialized transport workers. Don't think it's a simple job, the first thing the workers do when they return to their dilapidated huts after each day is to pray, give thanksgiving, and thank the God they believe in for another day.
Why do you say that, because the stones they mine are extremely dangerous, or the mountain is extremely dangerous. Why can't the desert wind blow here? Because they were broken down long before they arrived, just like the bones on the west side of the mountain that were broken down, the wind was also breaking down, and the only thing that could not be broken down was probably the bones. It is conceivable that if the workers are not careful to operate in a non-standard manner during mining, then they will soon become a pile of bones. If you are lucky enough to pick up a life, you will definitely become a white-boned disabled person, and you will have to sleep with your bones in your hands in the future.
The Ding family was one of the workers, she carefully took an awl and hit the stone little by little, seeing that the stone was about to fall, she quickly took out a yellow gauze to cover it, so that she dared to hold the stone through the gauze to prevent it from falling.
The stone was completely knocked down and fell steadily into the hands of the Ding family, next to which was the collection device, and the Ding family hurriedly threw the stone over like throwing a piece of rotten flesh that was extremely disgusted. Looking at it again, the yellow gauze in his hand had turned black, which was a sign that the formation energy had completely disappeared, proving that this piece of gauze could not be used any longer.
"Hey, the one hundred and one piece, the gauze is really fast!" Ding Jia stretched his waist to rest for a while.
There is also a co-worker next to him who calls him Xiao Li because of his relatively young age, and his biggest dream is to become the same character as Xiao Li in the anime Hokage, even if he is not smart but he is diligent. However, the unforeseen circumstances have brought him here, and he has just come of age to work as a laborer, and his dream has basically been declared dead! Yes, nearly 200,000 laborers here have been arrested, and their greatest value is to mine these dangerous stones. Every day, a large number of workers die because of improper operation or because of construction accidents.
Xiao Li saw that the Ding family had completed another one and said to him: "Brother Ding, you are so powerful! "The head of Xiao Li's mouth is the leader of their team, and the so-called reward is nothing more than a hot barbecue.
"Hmph! Whoever is rare about that unpalatable thing might as well reward me with a pack of cigarettes. Ding Jiaman said nonchalantly.
"Hey, Brother Ding, you are a full man, I don't know how hungry a man is hungry, if you can let me eat a meal of meat, I will be happy to break a finger! Xiao Li was in unbearable pain, seeing that if he wanted to loosen the gauze in his hand, the damage would be greater, and when he couldn't do it, the Ding family picked up the piece of waste gauze in his hand, took the stone in Xiao Li's hand, and threw it out as fast as possible, but although the speed was fast enough, the palm of the Ding family's right hand was still melted off a layer of flesh and blood, and even the bones could be seen.
"Brother Ding!" Xiao Li didn't care about the pain in his fingers and hurriedly came over to see the situation of the Ding family, at this time, the Ding family was holding his bloody and blurred right hand and rolling on the ground in pain.
"Brother Ding, Brother Ding!" Xiao Li shouted with a crying voice.
"Ding family!"
Other workers also stopped their work and came over to check on the Ding family's situation, and the experienced workers quickly brought a piece of clean gauze to cover the Ding family's right hand, which made him feel a lot better.
"I'm fine, everyone, go and finish the work first, otherwise, the foreman will be embarrassed!" Ding Jia said intermittently with the pain.
At this time, the foreman also noticed the situation here and ran over and asked, "What's the matter, hurry up and go back to work for me!"
The Ding family is usually very good and happy to everyone, so the popularity is good, at this time he suffered so much pain, as a worker, it is impossible to stand by, so despite the foreman's reprimand, no one returned to work, they gathered around the Ding family without a word but not silent, one by one at the foreman glaring angrily.
The foreman was different from them, he was a low-ranking officer with proficient ability, and he had a natural self-confidence in the face of these ordinary people, and shouted: "Look at it! Mom, pull me to the West Mountain if you don't work well!"
Everyone stood up silently, everyone was holding back a wave of anger in their hearts, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, like the eve of a volcanic eruption. Seeing the completely abnormal behavior of these people and thinking about the turmoil that happened here, the foreman's clenched palms were full of cold sweat, he was not afraid of these ordinary people, but he was afraid of his superiors, if there was a riot here, then it was not these people who went to Xishan but him!
At this moment, the Ding family struggled to stand up and pulled Xiao Li, who was going to fight with the foreman, and said, "Everyone go back, Xiao Li and I have nothing to do and take a rest." Foreman, I hope you can approve our two-day vacation. β
Under normal circumstances, even if the workers are not squeezed clean, even if they are lucky, how can there be time to rest, and the Ding family said this completely to give the foreman a step to avoid this imminent conflict.
"Yes, yes, you should have a good rest if you are injured, I approve it! You and Xiao Li hurry down and rest, I will send you a barbecue at noon, it's hard work!" said a soft word to the donkey.
The Ding family nodded and said to the other workers: "Everyone work hard, come to me at noon to eat barbecue!" The foreman wiped the cold sweat from his sideburns and finally escaped. But although he compromised with the workers on the surface, he was planning in his heart how to extinguish these small flames of rebellion.
The Ding family and Xiao Li returned to the dilapidated hut to rest, but the foreman was not idle, he quickly found a confidant to talk to him.
"γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»That's all, you hurry to the headquarters and tell them to send someone over quickly, my side has stabilized the situation, and when they come, I will extinguish these small flames in one fell swoop." Hahaha! Fight me!You're still far away!" The foreman's face showed a thick murderous intent.
Xiao Li of the Ding family didn't know that the foreman would settle accounts after the autumn, so they took out some standing medicine that they had worked so hard to get and applied it to the wound, and they gritted their teeth in pain.
"Brother Ding, it really fucking hurts!" Xiao Li wiped his sideburns, the white little finger had been cut off by him, and now his right hand only has four fingers. The Ding family is even more miserable, half of the palm of the right hand is only white bones, and I don't know if it can grow out of the flesh.
"Brother Ding, I am unwilling to become a cripple like this!" Xiao Li said bitterly.
"If you are unwilling, you have to endure it, don't you do stupid things, didn't you see that so many white bones were carried away a while ago, it is said that they are all rebellious workers, and you want to learn from them?!" said the Ding family.
"If I lose a finger because of resistance, I'm willing to die!" )
