Chapter 44: A group of who don't fight or leave
One hundred miles away from the southeast of Baisha Pavilion City, there is a stretch of green and beautiful mountains, the mountain shape or such as the dragon swimming bear, or such as the bamboo shoots standing halberd, thousands of shapes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the outermost part of it, in the middle of a circular mountain, there is a valley that is hundreds of feet deep. The whole valley is not big, but more than ten miles in a radius, but it is extremely peculiar, the surrounding mountains are verdant trees, the vegetation is dense, but the valley is not a single grass, full of fist-sized black and red sandstone, bare, looking extremely desolate.
However, it is this desolate place, and if you look down at the valley from above, you will find that it is like a honeycomb, full of seven or eight huge holes that are several feet in square and dark and bottomless. At this time, outside the holes that were extremely smooth, there was a wooden tripod more than ten meters high, and each tripod was surrounded by more than a dozen thin miners with tattered trousers and **** upper bodies that were tanned and shiny like dried sea fish. The cow tendon rope was placed on a tripod, one end hung into the deep hole, and as it was continuously pulled out of the hole, a simple large iron cage was slowly pulled up from the hole.
As soon as the big iron cage was level with the ground, the door was pulled open, and another thin and stiff miner, like a dog, crawled out, carrying a large iron basket on his back, which was steaming with red light, and was impressively filled with palm-sized, square--blood jade! The big iron basket was taller than the absent worker, and it was filled with blood jade, and the iron hand on the iron basket went straight into the flesh of the miner's shoulder, but outside every hole stood a soft whip holding a steel wire several meters long. The overseer, who was wearing leather armor and had a hideous face, the miners showed a little fatigue, and immediately whipped mercilessly, so the miners all moved forward desperately, sweating like rain on their foreheads, wheezing like bellows, and they did not dare to stop at all, carrying a large iron basket to the warehouse made of logs a few miles away.
In the middle of the valley, outside a large cave that was several times larger than the largest opening, a gloomy overseer stared at a pair of gloomy eagle eyes, staring firmly at the ox tendon rope that had been pulled up from the hole, and the hands behind him were shaking the soft whip with dark red blood stains in a bored manner, so that the whole soft whip was like a living python, rolling on the ground.
The big iron cage was raised, the iron door opened, and although the miners who climbed out this time were also thin and thin, their skeletons were huge, and they were a head taller than other miners, so that they were extremely easy to carry the big iron basket on their backs, and walked out with their waists straight.
"Bastard!" Hawkeye Overseer glanced at the big iron basket, which was already gloomy enough, and his face became even darker like the bottom of a pot, and roared sharply, "You dare to cheat in front of Master Ben, damn it!"
The next moment, the "giant python" behind him pierced the void, mixed with a piercing sound of breaking the air, and slammed into the miner's chest. The "giant python" was covered in sharp wire hedgehogs, and the moment it hit the miner, it suddenly rolled and pulled, and then reluctantly pulled away, and then looked at the miner, who seemed to have malaria, and howled miserably on the ground and twitched into a ball, and a deep groove with a thick tea bowl mouth and blurred flesh and blood had been added to his chest.
The big iron basket fell from the miner's shoulder, and the blood jade inside rolled out, but it was not a large basket, only a small half basket.
"No wonder the production of blood jade has plummeted recently, the feeling is that you dog thieves are stealing and playing tricks, Lao Tzu seems to be too merciful to you!" The eagle-eyed overseer couldn't stop jumping and scolding, whipping the miner hard after whip, and in a short time he was spurred all over his body, and his flesh and blood were splashed everywhere, which was unbearable.
The Hawkeye Overseer was undoubtedly at least a five-class soldier, and each whip was full of force but extremely precise, always able to draw on the intact flesh and skin of the miner's body, making him suffer the most painfully. Fortunately, he wanted the miner to die, and he had no intention of killing him, otherwise a whip would have been enough to strangle him.
"Second master, second master, you extinguish the fire and spare Ning Xiong, this bastard, after getting this lesson, he will never dare to be lazy again. Another tall miner, who was pulling the ox tendon rope next to the entrance of the cave, looked a little like the beaten miner, rushed forward, pounced on the miner, gritted his teeth and gave him a few lashes, and shouted for mercy.
"Ning Ying, Ning Xiong, haha, weren't you two brothers known as the 'Ning Family Erxiong' back then? Now it's just a pile of mud under the feet of the second master, and the second master wants to trample you to death, so he will lift his feet!" Looking at the two miners wailing under his whip, the Hawkeye Overseer suddenly let out a wild laugh, and the laughter was full of self-satisfaction.
Although they were pumped to death, the two miners clenched their four fists at the same time, their foreheads were bounced, their eyes were filled with deep hatred, and at the same time, there was an inexplicable aura surging in their bodies, like beasts about to wake up. However, as soon as that breath rose, a small silver-white shackle twisted on the left collarbone of the two of them flashed brightly, and the breath disappeared like boiling water and snow.
The brothers looked at each other, and they both saw the anger and resentment in each other's eyes.
"Second Master Yan Si, Master Yan Sen is in the warehouse, let you go over. At this moment, another overseer hurried over and intervened to report to Hawkeye Overseer.
The eagle-eyed overseer put away his whip, looked at the Ning family brothers who were paralyzed on the ground like mud, and smiled coldly: "Give your brothers another chance, from today onwards, you must be on par with the previous output, if you dare to continue to cheat and cheat, hehe, second master, I will whip you into meat puree, and hang your head on this shelf to show the public." As he spoke, the Hawkeye Overseer shook his wire whip and swaggered towards the storeroom.
Everywhere he passed, the miners who were struggling to walk to the warehouse with large iron baskets on their backs trembled, and their speed suddenly increased a lot. Seeing this scene, the Hawkeye overseer was very proud, and casually whipped the two nearest miners twice, adding two thick blood marks to the legs of the two miners, and scolded: "A group of cheap seeds who can't be beaten and can't leave." ”
Looking at the back of the Eagle Eye Overseer, the beaten Ning Xiong miner was about to shout something, but his eldest brother Ning Ying pressed his head and glared at him fiercely.
Seeing that the Eagle Eye Overseer was walking away, he should rather untie the belt of his tattered trousers, carefully pull out a few finger-thick rattan sticks with the fragrance of rich green wood juice, and then twist them vigorously, carefully applying them to the brother's body. As soon as this rattan was applied, the terrifying wound on Ning Xiong's body immediately slowed down and slowly began to heal.
Ning Xiong snatched two of them, crushed them and put them on his brother, and said angrily: "Big brother, obviously this mine is about to run out, and hundreds of brothers under the mine are digging desperately every day, and this small basket of blood jade, but this guy thinks we are stealing and cheating, why don't you tell him?"
"Why do you want to tell him?" Ning Ying turned his head and saw that the miners and overseers were far away, and no one heard his brother speak, so he said with a wooden face, "Our Ning family is finished, and the only motivation for our brothers to live now is revenge." I'm planning how to use this matter to lure the Yan family's group of dog thieves, preferably Yan Shou's old thief, down the well, and then, boom, with it!"
Ning Xiong's eyes lit up, his face was inexplicably bright, and he gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "That's it! We are better than dead now, we can really pull the back of the strict old thief, but if we make a lot of money, the underground father and mother will be happy." After a pause, Ning Xiong frowned again and said, "Big brother, I seem to have heard the overseers muttering behind their backs, saying that the Yan family in Baisha Pavilion City is finished, and the city lord Yan Shou is also dead." ”
"What? How did you hear this, but exactly?" Ning Ying was taken aback, grabbed Ning Xiong's shoulder, and said sharply.
"I got up last night to urinate and sneaked into the overseer's quarters, where a group of overseers were eating and drinking. Look at their expressions of trepidation, not like fakes. Ning Xiong said.
Ning Ying's eyes were sharp, and he stared at him: "What are you doing in the supervision area?"
Ning Xiong smiled "hehe" and did not answer.
Ning Ying knew his mind clearly, knowing that he wanted to see if there was a chance to kill the demons of Yan Sen and Yan Si, why didn't he think so? Imagining that Yan Sen has not shown up in recent days, Yan Si has a great temper, and he accidentally killed six or seven miners, and a group of overseers are obviously a little absent-minded, not as harsh as before, he believes the news of Ning Xiong for seven or eight points in his heart, clenches his fists, and said in a deep voice: "If God really has eyes, someone helps our Ning family avenge and kills the old thief who strictly guards, then you and my brother will be slaves to him for the rest of my life, and give him another big gift." ”
Ning Xiong looked solemn and nodded heavily.
