"Deng Ke!" Brother Bird shouted and ran from the mountain to this side, Deng Ke was shocked, and an ominous premonition arose.

Brother Bird panted and ran to him, looking like he was going crazy.

"I haven't seen it for a while, why did you come here? Have you packed enough baskets of white iron?"

"yes, he's got enough. I just finished writing it for him, you see. The man moved the slate to Brother Bird's eyes, and after reading it, Brother Bird looked at the lamp in wonder.

"You've loaded a basket so quickly, and you're carrying it here?" he asked, skeptically.

Deng Ke felt weak and didn't dare to answer, he knew that Brother Bird would definitely not believe it, he would definitely be able to guess what was going on, and after that, he would definitely not be able to spare him.

"Brother Bird!" the man spoke again.

"Anyone can see that it is impossible for a person as thin as him to carry a basket of white iron. The man lowered his tone a bit. "Because for the sake of your teammates, I let him pass. If you still complete the task, don't be embarrassed by this little brother of the lander. ”

"Huh. Brother Bird sneered twice, and his face softened a little. "Then I'll thank Brother Im. However, as a member of my team, I am really ashamed to do this kind of cheating and trickery. I can't let him spoil the whole team, and I have to punish him severely when I go back. ”

When Deng Ke heard this, his face turned green, and he knew that he would definitely be done this time.

"Eh, Brother Bird. At first glance, you know that you are a newcomer, and you don't know the rules very well, why do you have to be so angry? I think he knows he's wrong, so forget it. Imu tried his best to dissuade Brother Bird and intercede for Dengke.

"Forget it, no, there's a first time, there's a second time, and I've got to make him remember this lesson. Brother Bird couldn't help but pull up the lantern Ke and walked up the mountain, and Imu watched them worriedly until they crossed the mountain.

Deng Ke felt as if his foot had been broken at this time, and he staggered to the place where he had just mined the white iron stone.

"Not only are you lazy, but you're also very good at being clever!" Brother Bird angrily pushed Deng Ke, and Deng Ke immediately fell to the ground, and Brother Bird's strength shocked him.

"I ...... I just went to the wrong place, and I saw everybody going there, so I followed. He rubbed his aching buttocks and used the words he had just lied to Im to deceive Brother Bird, hoping to fool him.

"Hmph!" Brother Bird raised his eyebrows, "Who are you trying to fool?" he grabbed Lantern Ke by the collar viciously. "Don't you want to have breakfast today! Pick it for me right here, No. 2!" he turned back to a lowland man who was quarrying.

"You don't have to. Today your work will be handed over to him, and you will be responsible for showing him to me, and you will not let him take the basket down! You are not allowed to send it to the convoy if you don't have enough baskets! You are not allowed to help him! You must always supervise him, and if he has any rules or does not listen to you, you can tell me, and I will let him not eat lunch today!"

"Yes!" 2 accepted the order with a serious face, and after that, his eyes never took his eyes off the lamp.

"Huh, boy, you'd better be honest with me. After warning the lantern, Brother Bird went up the mountain again to check the progress of this morning's work. No. 2 looked at Deng Ke without blinking, his expression was very serious, if Deng Ke did something illegal now, he would definitely shout nervously.

Deng Ke bent down helplessly and continued to look for the white iron stone. His stomach growled, and now that it was almost dawn, everyone had gone back to breakfast, but he had to endure hunger and continue to work. He really regretted that he had just run to the convoy without filling the basket, and if he had worked honestly, it might not have been like this, but even then, how could he have carried a basket of stones? If he couldn't get there, he still hadn't completed his task, and he still had to stay here and work, and he wouldn't have breakfast. He turned his head to look at Number 2, who was staring at him warily.

"Hello. Deng Ke greeted him kindly. Number 2 didn't respond, but his expression looked even more nervous.

"You should go back to dinner, right?" said Dengke, "It's okay, you can go eat." When you get back, I'll be almost done. ”

Number 2 shook his head.

"Oh," added Dengke, "don't worry, I won't take the basket down and I won't do anything unruly, I'll keep quarrying like this, so you can go to dinner with confidence." ”

Number 2 shook his head again.

Deng Ke shrugged, "I'm really sorry, I can't eat you because I hurt you." I'm so sorry. After saying that, he continued to quarry, but he couldn't find the white ironstone, he remembered that Brother Bird said that the white ironstone can only be found before dawn, and now that the sky is already bright, there is no way to mine the white ironstone.

"Now that it's dawn and you can't mine the white stone, what should I do?" he asked No. 2.

No. 2 unhurriedly threw a stone that had been prepared to Dengke.

"Quarrying sand and gravel. He finally spoke.

Deng Ke looked at the stone in his hand, it was nothing special, no different from ordinary stones, and more difficult to identify than white iron stone.

"How? I can't tell. He said.

"There is a layer of sand on its surface, and if you rub it hard, you can rub it off, and it is sand. "It's the first time that Number 2 has said so many words.

Deng Ke rubbed it vigorously, and sure enough, a fine layer of sand was rubbed off, and he became interested again, and began to look for it according to this characteristic. He rubbed every stone he picked up, and found that most of them were smooth, and only a few had that layer of sand, and he took the trouble to rub the stones, which greatly satisfied his hobby that he had lacked for many days. Soon his basket gradually became heavier again, and his feet became more and more unbearable. He wiped the sweat from his head and turned to look at Number 2, whose eyes immediately widened.

"I don't understand, why do you have to carry a basket to quarry, how easy it is to put it down, and you can do it faster. Lamp Ke grumbled.

Number 2 was still just staring at him intently.

"Why, can you tell me?" asked Lamp Ke again.

Number 2 remained silent.

Deng Ke thought for a while, "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, forget it." But I'd love to know, what else can I call you but number two, because I really don't want to call you number two, I feel very uncomfortable, can you tell me your name?"

No. 2 looked at the lamp, and his expression became a little strange. There seems to be some surprise and some confusion, that is, there is no intention to answer.

Lamp Ke sighed, he was impressed by the silence of the depression people, which reminded him of Mute, who, like her name, rarely spoke, and could barely hear a sound in Stunge. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and worked hard to keep working, he had to overcome these difficulties in front of him, so that he could return to the land and see Shizune again.

But no matter how hard he tried, there would be no miracle in his body that would allow him to bear the weight of a basket of stones. He finally couldn't bear to fall backwards, and the freshly mined stones were scattered all over the ground, and all his efforts were in vain. Deng Ke turned sideways and got up in frustration, he really didn't want to do it, but Brother Bird would never allow it. What if he doesn't allow it? Deng Ke thought, why don't you just leave it, can he still kill me? Anyway, don't I still have a living shroud? He can't touch me. On the contrary, if I continue to do this, I am afraid that the Soul Cover will not be able to protect me, and I will have to be exhausted to death like this. That's it, let's do it!
