"Brother Bird, tell me about it. What is your team's mission today?" the man at the front suddenly asked. Deng Ke saw that everyone except him was nervous. Brother Bird replied in his thin and loud voice:

"Our team's task today is to mine enough 10 tons of sand and gravel, 2 tons of white iron stone, 1 ton of ore gold stone, 500 catties of green stone and 300 catties of chloberstone. When Brother Bird finished answering, the person at the front asked one of the people on their right team.

"Is he right?"

"Hmm...... Yes!" the man said with a moment's hesitation.

"And what is the task of your entire quarrying department?"

"Ah...... It's forty tons of sand and gravel, ten tons of white ironstone, and three tons of ore and gold stone," he said with great difficulty, and after a pause, he said tremblingly: "One ton of green stone, one thousand catties of chloberish." ”

"You!" said the man at the front, pointing to the man behind the man.

"Tell him, how many pounds of chloamine. ”

"Fifteen hundred pounds of chlometrite!" the man's voice was full of confidence and pride.

"Very good! Second team, have you eaten all the fifty pounds of chloberstone? Listen! Your team members remember it better than you. Today you will be fined ten pounds of extra chlometrite. The man at the front shouted, and then he turned to everyone again. Deng Ke couldn't help but get nervous.

"Everyone has to remember the tasks of the day! I can't even remember the tasks of my own team, how can I guarantee that the tasks will be completed. Next time, if anyone can't answer my question, they will be severely punished and will not be spared, will everyone remember?"

"Remember!" shouted everyone in unison.

"Very well! Now we will end today's morning meeting with the order of the mine. The man in front of him spoke, his voice rising an octave.

"Our Command Is ......"

"Quarrying and alchemy! Do your best! Unswerving until death!" The team spoke in unison, and their voices shook all directions, and the momentum was surging.

Listening to this, Deng Ke's emotions couldn't help but rise. The team began to split up, and Lamp Ke and their group continued on their way to the mountain he could see as soon as he exited the mine. Brother Bird stopped the group, turned to face everyone, and began to speak.

"As I said just now, our task today is not very high, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to complete it. I'll start assigning tasks right now. Dengke turned his head to look at the other teams, some of them went up the mountain, and some of them stopped at the foot of the mountain to listen to the captain's speech. He suddenly felt a panic in his heart, a panic that was more terrible than death, a deep loneliness. Because all this that is happening now is too unfamiliar, unfamiliar environment, unfamiliar people, unfamiliar words, all of which make Deng Ke feel no warmth. It's a place without love.

"Mani, you take No. 2 and No. 5 to collect the tallumen. Brother Bird said.

"Yes, Captain!" Mani happily accepted the order and led the two Depression away.

"Barbry, you take No. 4 and No. 7 to collect greenstone. Hurry up, you can't finish the task today!" Brother Bird instructed twice, and Barbury also left with the two of them.

"What is Brother Bird going to do with me? Standing at the back of the line, he thought as he bent down hoping to be blocked by the people in front of him.

"Dengke, come here!" Brother Bird obviously couldn't forget him.

"Ah, yes!" Lamp staggered out from behind.

"This is the third Lu person to come to our team - Zhan Dengke. Brother Bird introduced to everyone. "In the future, he will be responsible for the task of mining sand and gravel, No. 1, No. 3, No. 6, No. 8, No. 9 and No. 12, and you will have to cooperate with Dengke to complete the task in the future. Today, since the first day of Dengke, there are still many things to learn, so follow me today, and wait until he is competent before he takes over. Okay, now let's get to work as we did before. Brother Bird waved his hand, and everyone walked towards the mountain, only Deng Ke was still standing in place.

"You come with me, I'll teach you how to mine first. Brother Bird greeted Lamp Ke, Lamp Ke followed Brother Bird up the mountain, the mountain was sparsely wooded, gravel was everywhere, the chrome Lamp Ke grinned, he was the first time to climb the mountain barefoot. Brother Bird looked back, and when he saw that Deng Ke was climbing too slowly, he said to him:

"You can't be so abrasive. At your pace, it's noon when you climb to the top. We've got to hurry, we've got to get enough of the white iron before dawn!

Deng Ke endured the pain and climbed up the scarce small tree little by little, and the injury on his leg began to attack again at this time, and bursts of stinging pain hit him, making him break out in a cold sweat all over his body. Brother Bird kept urging in front, which reminded Deng Ke of the scene when he climbed the wall. He tried to pick up the pace, trying to keep up with Brother Bird. But his feet and legs hurt so much, in fact, even if he was well and well-fed, if he had to climb such a high mountain on land, he would only be able to reach the top of the mountain when it was daylight. When he was halfway up the mountain, he couldn't hold on anymore, so he sat down on the mountain road. After walking for a while, Brother Bird looked back at Deng Ke and found that he was sitting on the ground resting, Brother Bird angrily rushed over and grabbed Deng Ke and yelled:

"You lazy lazy pig! You don't want me to eat this breakfast, don't you? You dare to rest without permission! Punish you to dig for oil at night, don't think about sleeping!"

Although Deng Ke didn't know what "depression oil" was, he knew that it was never a good thing, and he quickly explained:

"I wasn't lazy because my feet hurt so much, and my legs hurt so much that I couldn't walk to sit down. ”

"Hmph!" Brother Bird looked at Lan Ke's bloody feet and let go of him, "Okay, you don't have to dig for oil, but you have to hold on." You see that all the people in the depression walk barefoot, you have to learn from them and adapt as soon as possible. ”

Deng Ke looked at the people in the depression who were bending down to work nearby, they were indeed barefoot, but they were different, they were Lu people. Brother Bird said this, and completely treated him as a depression person. Deng Ke thought reluctantly.

"Alright, you don't have to go any further, just look for the white iron stone here. After Brother Bird finished speaking, he asked Deng Ke to wait in place, and left along the path. After a while, he returned with a large basket.

"Put this on your back. Brother Bird threw the basket to Lamp Ke, who caught it but almost didn't sit on the ground. The basket was much heavier than it looked, like it was made of some kind of metal, and just carrying him on his back made the lamp Ke a little unbearable.

"I'll teach you how to find white iron first. Brother Bird pulled a pointed hammer from his waist, "The white iron stone must not be found until dawn, as it can only be seen in the light at this time. Brother Bird lowered his head as he spoke, and Deng Ke couldn't help but look around.

"At first, you may think that he is no different from other stones," Brother Bird pointed to a spot and gouged it with a hammer a few times, picked up a stone from there, and dragged it to the head of the lamp. "But you only have to look a little longer to see the metallic sheen of his white flowers. Deng Ke stared at the stone for a while, and sure enough, it gradually revealed its metallic color, which made Deng Ke fascinated all of a sudden, completely forgetting the pain in his body. He bent down to find it, too. Brother Bird was very satisfied with this, he handed the hammer to Deng Ke, and muttered a few more words.

"That's right, you just have to work hard, do a good job here, and when you get back to land, it's easy to find a good job. People who have worked here will have certain preferential policies when they return to the land, and those who do well can go directly to government units, and they will not have to worry about eating and drinking for a lifetime, and the welfare benefits will be even better. ”

"Work?" Lamp Ke's original focus on finding the white iron stone was diverted. The word work is still quite sensitive to him. If he doesn't study well, he will definitely not be able to get into the university. Now that he's here again, he probably won't even finish high school. Even if he returned to the land, he didn't want to go to school anymore, but if he didn't go to school, there seemed to be no way out in their world. If you don't even have a high school degree, it is equivalent to being eliminated by society, and it is whimsical to find a better job. Deng Ke has always felt that his future is dark, there is no way out, basically just a life of poverty, desolation and desolation. But fate seemed to have taken a turn of events, and brought him here, and he never dreamed that such a place would have such a policy, which made his mood much more open. He even thought, don't rush back to the land, just work hard here, and when you get back to the land, it will be bright. But it's so hard here, if he really wants to do it well, he will have to die of exhaustion here. He pondered as he searched for the white ironstone.
