At this time, it was the second half of the night, and his whereabouts happened to be hidden in the deep night, and Liu Da led He Lingjiang and his party to secretly go around the back of the mine.

He stood next to each other and pointed halfway up the mountainside: "The mine should be there, but there are plants and trees in the mountains, and I don't know the exact location." ”

The mountains were dim, only the cold moonlight flowed down, and the shadows of the mountains could be faintly seen.

He Lingjiang raised his eyes and looked over: "I'm tired of Liu Jialangjun, we will check the rest, you go back first." ”

Liu Da hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth: "Why don't I stay and let the wind go for you?" The gang should have chosen to transport the ore at night, and it would not be good if they found someone breaking in while they were coming. ”

He Lingjiang knew his kindness, but still politely refused: "You are from the mining area, if you accidentally show your face, it will be even more dangerous, let's come, so as not to involve you again." ”

"Before entering the mountain, I have already sent someone to inform Sun Juncheng to secretly send someone again. Hold yourself steady, so that no one will perceive that something is wrong and invite trouble. ”

Hearing that Sun Juncheng would send someone to come again, Liu Da's heart was a little more stable.

He went back first, stabilized Qian Wu and the two of them, and wanted to hide the fact that Xiao Si was missing.

He Lingjiang led people to climb halfway up the mountain, and by the moonlight, he found a hole in a hidden place, which was covered by messy grass and trees.

"Seven Niangzi, I'll take someone in, you wait outside first." He Zheng was still worried about the danger inside, so it was naturally better for their subordinates to find out the truth first.

He Lingjiang shook his head: "Since I'm here, I always have to go and find out in person." The inside of the mine is not very spacious, so you don't need as many people to go in. You follow me, and the others hide around the entrance of the cave, staring secretly, and if there is any change, we will notify you later. ”

He Zheng hugged his fists, and as soon as he waved his hand, the rest of the people scattered around and spread along the hidden mountain road.

Qingzhu is also guarding around the entrance of the cave, ready to respond.

He Lingjiang bent down slightly, brushed away the weeds hidden at the entrance of the cave with He Zheng, and drilled into the hole.

The entrance to the cave is not spacious, only allowing two people to enter side by side, and it is dark inside, and you can't see your fingers.

He Lingjiang took out two night pearls and held them in his palm, pinched the trick in his hand slightly, and then handed one to He Zheng.

Under the reflection of the glittering pearlescent light, the two of them could roughly see the whole picture of the cave.

The walls of the cave are craggy and narrow at first, but they gradually become spacious after a few steps forward, and the shape is like a horizontal urn.

However, it only took about ten steps before the hole bottomed out.

If anyone strays into this place, it will only be regarded as an ordinary cave.

It's just that Xiao Si said that those people disappeared around here, and they searched around here, but they didn't see anything abnormal, only this place, under the cover of grass and trees, there was a hidden cave.

He Lingjiang squatted down, picked up a piece of rubble that rolled to the ground, and looked at it under the pearl, the corner of the small stone still had a touch of blue-purple spots, which were copper minerals attached to the gravel, and changed color after being in contact with the air for a long time.

"That's it."

She dropped the stone, walked to the stone wall, and held up the pearl to take a closer look.

The stone wall in front of you looks ordinary, and it has the unevenness of a mountain wall

He Zheng stretched out his hand and groped around the stone wall, and suddenly, he called softly in his hand: "Seven Ladies." ”

It's a trap on the stone wall!

He Lingjiang's eyes were slightly deep, and he nodded at He Zheng.

With a strong push of his hand, he saw the stone wall in the middle move slightly, spinning along the central axis, revealing two gaps that could be passed through.

The revolving stone door was disguised as a stone wall!

After both of them entered it, He Zheng pushed the stone gate back into the distance.

This is the real entry into the mine.

Compared to the other side of the stone wall, this place is much brighter, with a few oil lamps hanging around the stone wall.

The stone wall here is sealed, He Lingjiang is curious about how they ventilate, looked up, and saw that around the stone wall, he saw many holes, and when he got closer, there was a hidden gas circulation, thinking that it was connected with the outside world.

However, the holes were so small that they had not noticed them when they were looking for the entrance to the cave.

This is the entrance and exit of the mine, but it is quite spacious, and from this point onwards, you can see that five or six secret passages extend in different directions, extending into the depths of the mountain.

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows and nodded at the main mine road on the far left, the direction of this mine road looks quite different from other mine roads: "Let's take a look." ”

He Zheng followed behind her, and the two quietly went to the depths of the mine.

The main mine road is quite spacious, and at intervals of ten or so steps, an oil lamp hangs from the stone wall for illumination.

On both sides of the main road are many narrow tunnels, which were carved out by the miners for mining and extraction, and can only accommodate one person half-lying down.

"Seven Niangzi, I'll go in and have a look." He Zheng said.

He Ling Jiang bowed slightly.

After a while, he saw He Zheng come out of the narrow mine: "There is no one in it, this should be the waste road after the miners have mined." ”

"Then we'll take a look."

Along the main mine road, I saw a figure coming and going, He Lingjiang and He Zheng each avoided in the narrow mine road on the side, and they could hear someone talking outside.

"Well, how much did you get out of today?"

Another voice sighed and replied, "After digging for a whole day, only sixty or seventy catties of copper have been produced." ”

It's really not much, and because of this, the reward you get is a few points less.

The man before took off his basket and comforted him: "It's not too little, I'm not less than a hundred pounds." Our place is not a big head. ”

"yes." Another person sighed, "Although this mountain range is connected to the Nanshan mining area, it is not rich in copper ore. The copper material in our place is only mined with it, and it is good to be able to mine so much. ”

"I'm just envious of the others, who spend a day in this mountain, and they have a lot more things than us, and they have more money than us."

"Be content. With the same copper mining, the wages of our place are much higher than those in the Nanshan mining area, and as for how much can be mined every day, it is not something you and I can control. This daily wage is fixed, but it is just a small reward, and it is okay. ”

"Yes." The man joined him in pouring the ore from the basket on the ground of the main tunnel, then took up the empty basket and continued to burrow into the narrow tunnel.

There was a sudden silence on the main mine.

He Lingjiang, who was hiding in the shadows, paused for a few breaths, and when he saw that no sound was coming, he turned sideways and walked out of the mine.

In the middle of the main mine is a pile of mined ore, waiting for the transporter to come and deliver it.

She crouched down on her knees and picked up a piece of ore, the dark copper red color of the cave was particularly bright, even if it was dim.

Reaching out and looking through the past piece by piece, it is all the same.

It's copper, no doubt.

It's just that, thinking of the previous conversation between the two, she couldn't help frowning slightly, this mountain range doesn't mainly produce copper mines?

In that case, why did they spend a lot of money to hire people to mine here?

What are they mining in those places?
