Chapter 17: Lectures

A group of people stood messily in the hall, and the young man surnamed Cheng stood in the middle of the wall on the right-hand side, where there was a large box more than a meter long, and he faced the crowd next to the box:

"I guess you've been wondering what we're bringing you here for, but in fact, letting you here really make you work hard to make money, and what you can earn is much more than what we said on Jubei Island, you can really make a lot of money!"

Hearing him say this, the people of Jubei Island became more and more uneasy, if they could make a lot of money just by working hard, who could not be happy, why "trick" them to come?

The young man surnamed Cheng smiled:

"Of course, there is still a slight difference from normal work, but you really don't have to worry about it, because what you want to do is very simple, that is, mining!"

There was silence in the hall, and then there was a lot of discussion:

"It's just mining? Is this a mining hole?"

"What kind of mine? gold and silver mines?"

"It's not the point, it's just that why don't you say it in mining, is there a great danger?"

One of them said what everyone feared the most, just mining can make a lot of money, where is such a good thing, if there is, then it is likely to be very dangerous.

The young man surnamed Cheng pressed his hands and suppressed everyone's voices:

"Don't worry, listen to me.

The danger is a little bit, but it's definitely not big, and the danger you're going to encounter is the collapse of the mine road, the pit, which is inevitable in any mine, but you can also see what's around here? This is a rock formation! So as long as you don't dig indiscriminately, the danger is very low.

Then tell me what you are going to dig, this is it!" said the young man surnamed Cheng, putting his right hand in front of him, spreading it out, and a crystal stone in his palm bloomed with charming brilliance under the spar lamp hanging on the roof of the hall.

"That's ...... Hedrons?"

"That's right, it must be a spare, my mother-in-law has a headdress carved from a discarded spare, except that there is no air flow in the middle, it is exactly the same, it will never be wrong. ”

"Is this ...... Unexpectedly...... Is it a hedron mine?!"

"Oh my God, it's a hedron mine!"

The hall was noisy again, far greater than the movement just now, and it was really shocking to the hearts of the people.

Although they are just ordinary people, not to mention that the people of Jubei Island have never seen unused spars, but who has not heard of spars? Many people have fantasized that one day they will make a fortune if they dig in the field and catch a spar in the sea.

But I didn't expect to have the opportunity to dig spars in the spar mine, is it that if they dig too much, they can also keep a few pieces as a salary?

Although he still has some doubts in his heart because he was deceived, the very likely opportunity to really make a fortune still makes the hearts and eyes of a cadre hot, and he stares at the young man surnamed Cheng.

Wen Ming was also a little surprised in his heart, it stands to reason that if this is a spar mine, there will be a relatively strong heaven and earth vitality, he should be able to feel it, but he didn't feel how rich the heaven and earth vitality is here, is it too far away to really have a spar? Or has his body not recovered yet, and he has lost his keen perception of the heaven and earth vitality?

The young man surnamed Cheng was very satisfied, and this was what he wanted.

"That's right, this is a hedron mine!" he confirmed everyone's guesses, "You can dig the hedron by going down the fork to the left." ”

The people of Jubei Island became more and more excited, and they couldn't wait to dig up a bunch of hedrons and admire them.

The young man surnamed Cheng continued: "Of course, the spar is not so easy to dig, and the real spar mine below also has rock formations, but the hardness of the rock formations there is higher than what you see now, so you must be prepared to work hard." ”

The heat in the eyes of those people cooled a little, but it was just a little, the spar was difficult to dig was also the original meaning, if it was easy to dig into the surname of the young man they would dig it themselves, why bother to find them?

"Then I will tell you about your treatment:

The first is the most important salary, this is calculated according to the spar you dig, for each hedron you dig, you can get a reward of 1000 copper coins, which refers to the standard spar, if you dig a non-standard spar, you will be paid the same proportion of the reward.

According to my estimate, as long as you are not lazy, you should be able to dig a few pieces a month, and if anyone has a very high level of mining, very efficient, and lucky, it is possible to dig dozens of pieces a month. ”

The fiery heat, which had just cooled down a little, was flourishing again, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands, a month, and wouldn't it be possible to reach 100,000, or even nearly a million, a year?

The young man surnamed Cheng didn't seem to be excited enough, so he flipped up the box at his feet.

"Shhh

In fact, this box is only nearly a million copper coins, which is only equivalent to a few spars, but the young man surnamed Cheng and his group obviously understand how to give a greater shock to the people on Jubei Island, not to mention that the spars are too far away from them, and even the copper tickets are rarely circulated on Jubei Island, and the people of Jubei Island have the most contact with copper coins, and such a full box almost blinds their eyes.

The young man surnamed Cheng let them appreciate enough, and said: "Under normal circumstances, every night at eight o'clock, I or my second brother - oh, it is Boss Zhou in your mouth, but in the future, you will call him the second master, call me the third master, the two of us will have one person here every day, you can exchange the spar for copper coins, and you can exchange them for copper tickets if there are more copper coins." ”

He rummaged through the box, took out a stack of copper tickets from the full copper coins, shook it, and continued:

"Now you must understand why we didn't tell you the truth when we were on Jubei Island, the hedron mine is a huge wealth, but also the source of evil, we will not let it leak in the slightest, so you must not think about leaving here for at least seven or eight years, as for when you can leave, or the hedron mine is completely dug up, or we have the power to have it.

So even if you just want to get out early, you have to work hard to mine, or pray that we will have enough power soon. ”

The people of Jubei Island have finally woken up from their frenzy, and under the condition that they can get a huge reward, what they have to pay is personal freedom, and it is a long period of personal freedom, seven or eight years is only the minimum, and ten or twenty years are all possible, so if they do not return home for a long time, how much can happen to the family? Will there be anything wrong with the parents? Will the wife remarry? Do the children still recognize their father? Not to mention that the best time of a lifetime will be spent in this dark underground, and will it be old when they go out again? At that time, even if there is more wealth, how much significance will it have?

For a while, everyone came from the bottom of their hearts and asked the young man with the surname Cheng:

"Third Master, you let us go, we promise not to say anything about the spar mine. ”

"yes, yes, we can swear. ”

In fact, the people who asked understood in their hearts that it was impossible for the young man surnamed Cheng to agree, but he couldn't help but ask for it.

Sure enough, the young man surnamed Cheng shook his head: "You know it's impossible. Then he said: "Actually, you don't have to be too pessimistic, if there is no accident, every year or two we will accompany Xiao Yang back to Jubei Island, and will help you bring the money back, and at the same time you can also write a letter for us to take back. ”

Everyone felt a little better, although they still couldn't see their families, but they could communicate with their families, they could feel a little comfort, and they could send the money back, so that their families could live better.

"Third Master, can't you recruit more people, that way you can finish mining the spar faster, it's better for you and for us, right?" asked with a more flexible brain.

As soon as the others thought, yes, if there were more people, wouldn't they be able to go out faster?

It's a pity that the young man surnamed Cheng still shook his head: "At present, we can't recruit people anymore, go to other places to recruit people, it's difficult for others to trust us, and go to Jubei Island, Xiao Yang is afraid that he will have to fight with us, and even if he can recruit people, in fact, we don't want to recruit more, you all have to eat and drink Lazar, there is a water source in the ground in terms of eating and drinking, and we will send some fresh fish every day, but in addition to fish, there are only all kinds of pickles, pickles, bean sprouts, tea and dried meat, etc., if there are more people, we have to go to supply often, it is impossible." ”

The crowd sighed in disappointment.

Wen Ming, who was inconspicuous in the corner, noticed that the young man surnamed Cheng said that he would "send" fresh fish over, so why not let them go fishing by themselves? In order to let them work hard to mine, he directly served them and brought the fish, is it possible? The biggest or even the only possibility is that they will not be able to go to the fishing place at all.

So is it to go fishing in the sea of the island, or is it underground...... Can you catch a fish directly?

Wen Ming leaned towards the latter, the young man surnamed Cheng said that he sent fish every day, the boulder at the entrance of the cave was not easy to move, it was unrealistic to go in and out every day, and the most important thing was that there were always ships that would pass by in and out of this vicinity, and if they went in and out every day, they would be discovered sooner or later.

This discovery made Wen Ming a little happy, and the presence of fish means that the water is flowing, and there is also the possibility of going out. If he could, he didn't want to use his hole cards, and he would have to pay a lot of money to use them.

The young man surnamed Cheng gave them a sigh of relief: "Actually, you should think about it, maybe you can go out in three or five or even two or three years? When the time comes to go home with a lot of wealth, you can all go to Linming Island and live well, but it is much better than staying on Jubei Island for the rest of your life."

And I can promise you that the first spar you dug up can be placed on your body, although the speed at which you absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi is extremely slow, but it is always a little good for the body, plus the fish sent to you contains a certain amount of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, which can nourish the body, which will make your body basically not weakened due to fatigue and not seeing the sun for a long time, and may even be stronger.

So don't blame Xiao Yang too much, and even frankly say that you shouldn't hate him and blame him, but thank him, he was forced by us to go to Jubei Island, and it wasn't that he took us to Jubei Island, but we knew that he was from Jubei Island before, so even if he doesn't go, we can use his name to find a way for you to deceive you, the process will be more troublesome, but it's always okay.

In addition, if it weren't for his repeated requests, you would definitely not have such a good treatment now, but directly treat you as cattle and horses, and don't even think about the remuneration, or even ......"

He said meaningfully: "Squeeze your labor out in a few years, and kill you when your health fails." ”

The people of Jubei Island shuddered, and they didn't know how they felt about Yang Youhe for a while, if they could really make a lot of money and go home in three or five or even two or three years, it seemed that they would really be grateful to him.

At the same time, as soon as they were reminded by the young man surnamed Cheng, they couldn't help but worry about whether the other party would really kill them in the future?

The young man surnamed Cheng saw their fears and doubts, and said with a smile: "What I said is that if there is no situation where Xiao Yang pleads, if we have the intention to kill you, it is impossible to pay you at all, and we will help you send it back and help you deliver the letter." ”

At this time, there were footsteps outside, and then Yang Youhe's voice sounded:

"That's right, you brothers of Jubei Island don't worry about your life at all, I swear to you, if they want to kill you in the future, I will follow you to your death!" his voice was extremely resolute, making people believe what he said from the bottom of their hearts.

After saying that, his people had already entered the hall, and behind him were still young girls, teenagers, and young people surnamed Zhou, and middle-aged people did not come in, and there were footsteps outside walking towards the door on the right.

Yang Youhe walked next to the young man surnamed Cheng and said to the people on Jubei Island: "You have entered here because of me, but I, Yang Youhe, dare to touch my conscience and say that I have never betrayed my brothers!"

After a few glances, Qiao Damin spoke: "Alas, Brother Yang, we believe in you, the matter has come to this point, I hope to leave here as soon as possible, then we will be grateful to you, if the real life is not good, it will take ten or twenty years or even longer, and we will not blame you." ”

Yang Youhe let out a long sigh of relief and lowered his head.

The girl who was still standing at the door also breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man surnamed Cheng beckoned to the girl and the boy, and when they came to the side, he pointed at them and said, "You will call them Miss Tong and Young Master Hong in the future." ”

A cadre said respectfully: "I've seen Miss Tong and Young Master Hong!"

The girl's face was blushing, and she didn't know what to say, but the young man smiled and said, "I'll bother you in the future." ”

The young man surnamed Cheng said with a calm face: "You must not offend them, otherwise don't blame me for not giving Xiao Yang face and throwing you into the sea to feed the fish!"

"Don't dare!" (To be continued.) )
