333. 132 Strange Mining Disaster
--
-->
The mental power is almost overdrawn, and it is obviously not something that can be recovered in a short period of time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The info woman was wandering nervously outside the smelting room, and there was a little dragon phoenix on the side, as soon as she saw Yihan come out, she immediately stepped forward and asked, "Childe, grandpa?"
Yihan was a little apologetic, "It will take about three days to recover, so don't worry too much about the girl." If there's anything you need my help with, just ask. ”
Xiao Longhuang also knew about the help of the old man inside to his master, and he couldn't help it, "Yes, Daddy is very powerful." Sister Yunxi, don't worry. ”
The woman named Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Now it's just me and my grandfather at home. If something happens to my grandfather, I don't know how to face my father. ”
"Girl, your parents?" Yihan asked a little knowingly.
Yunxi's gaze dimmed, his head lowered, and his tone was a little whimpering, "My father is very good to me and my mother, and he always asks me to take care of my mother and grandfather when he is not at home. He was a small steward of the mine, and he lived in the mine all the time, rarely going home, but no one could have imagined that a mining accident would happen. In that mining accident, my father died in the mine. After that, my mother also died of depression. It's been twenty or thirty years now. But ......" Later, all that remained was the woman's low sobs.
"Yunxi girl, I'm sorry to remind you of bad memories. Yihan handed a handkerchief to Yunxi, and then silently walked away with Xiaolonghuang, she knew that this seemingly weak woman actually had the toughness that ordinary people could not match.
Yihan left the shop, asked about the location of the mine where the mining accident occurred back then, and walked towards the mine with Xiaolonghuang.
"Daddy, do you think the mining disaster has something to do with the dark night? "The little dragon phoenix has been by Yihan's side for so long, and with the connection of blood, you can clearly feel the changes in Yihan's emotions.
"Well, and Yunxi should have something he didn't tell us. She should have known that something was wrong with the hematite, and she wouldn't let us buy the iron that had already been smelted. And I asked, and the price she sold us for the iron nuggets was indeed about the same as hematite. Although I don't know very well, I do know that the price of rough iron will be doubled. Therefore, if most people refine tools, they will choose unprocessed, of course, there are also ingredients that do not like their inferior processing. ”
"So, what about the iron that the old black man processed?"
Yi Han smiled and touched Xiao Longhuang's head, not feeling impatient at all because Xiao Longhuang had too many problems, "It's perfect, the impurities have been removed, even the refining master can't do this." A refining master like the City Lord of Xia Gucheng could only remove ninety percent of the impurities at most. Now I can barely refine the eight-grade elixir, because I have karmic fire, so the purification of the herbs is much higher than ordinary people. ”
White Night City is not big if it is only the area where the residents of the city live. Yihan took the little dragon phoenix for a while and came to a muddy aisle that could accommodate a carriage. This aisle leads in all directions to the entrances of the various mines.
Standing in the aisle, you can see many vehicles escorting ore. Seeing so many roads, Yihan's footsteps paused. He glanced at the tree behind him on the right and continued to move forward.
Xiao Longhuang had long felt that she and Yihan were being followed as soon as they entered White Night City, but they had been pretending not to see it, just now, she felt that there was another batch, "Daddy?"
"Leave them alone. If he was afraid of being followed, he wouldn't have come in so openly as an evil seeker.
Behind the tree, several hidden figures gradually appeared, the three of them were dressed in general, very ordinary appearance, but there was a spider pattern around their necks, and there were no breath fluctuations around them, just like ordinary people, but their eyes were much darker than ordinary people, like stagnant water.
"He found us. One of the short men spoke, and his tone was unwavering.
"You and the second go back and tell the city lord. Here I continue to track"
"Good"
The mines are continuous, and at the foot of the mines are tents of various colors, these tents are some years old, several tents are put together, and then covered with some leaves, almost like a simple house.
There are also a number of open-air fires, and near the fires are some seemingly flat stones, which are obviously the usual places for the miners to eat and rest.
It's daytime, and there are only a few people in the camp who take care of the ore and cook things.
No matter where they go, the existence of Yihan and Xiaolonghuang always makes people a little confused. Because the mining area does not know when the mining disaster will occur, basically no outsiders dare to come, even if the people who buy ore, they only take spot in the city, and would rather not have enough goods than come to the mining area at all.
"This son, you are from outside, it's dangerous here, you better get out quickly" An old man pushed the minecart out, and saw Yihan and Xiaolonghuang wandering around at a glance, and hurriedly reminded him.
Yihan was puzzled, looked east and west, didn't seem to feel the danger, and said, "Is it dangerous here?"
The old man had a calm face, and when he said that it was dangerous, he instinctively had a kind of fear, "Of course it is dangerous, in the past few hundred years, there have been many mining disasters, I remember the mining disaster more than 20 years ago, and tens of thousands of people died."
More than 20 years ago, that time should have been Yunxi's father's time.
"Tens of thousands, so many?!" Yi Han's expression looked a little shocked, and he took a step back in fear. "Uncle, don't lie to me. I came this from the city, but I didn't think there were so many people in the city. ”
"Alas, there have been so many mining accidents, and everything that can be left is gone. We old immortals and some young people who don't want to leave are left to eat here. Now there are nearly 10,000 people left in White Night City. Except for some people who stayed in the city to manage the shops, there were only a few thousand people who dared to come to the mine. All of them are mined in batches. In this way, there will be more people who will survive. ”
"No outsiders dare to come?"
"Yes, yes, but they are all outlaws, staying here to open mines, and eating like us. Those of them live directly in the mine," the old man pointed to a small mountain road. "Over the years, there have been a lot of them, and they are all old men, and they are not easy to get along with. However, this is also the rule of the city lord. As long as the outsiders pay some dark crystals every month, they can do whatever they want. ”
The lord of the city, the miner from outside...... No matter how you look at it, it looks like there is a connection.
"Thank you, uncle. Yihan casually handed over a bag of heavy things to the old man.
As soon as the old man wanted to say something, Yihan and Xiaolonghuang had already walked away. When I opened the bag, I saw that it was all black crystals, which amounted to at least a hundred!
