Chapter 297: News of My Grandfather
Qiu Xia didn't think about it, and immediately stepped forward to protect the little begonia under her, and used her body to block the flying stone.
But in an instant, only a loud bang was heard, and then everyone was drowned in dust.
Everyone covered their mouths and noses.
All the people trembled with fright, and they didn't dare to move for a long time.
After a long time, the dust gradually cleared.
Then they got up and found that the mountain they had mined had collapsed.
Qiu Xia also pulled the little begonia up from the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Girl, are you in trouble?" ”
"I'm fine, are you hurt? Let me see. ”
"Nope." Qiu Xia said.
Everyone was still frightened, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
The more Liu Chuansheng thought about it, the more scared he became.
If it weren't for Xiao Haitang coming today, she felt the ground shaking, and all of them would be buried under the mountain today.
Thinking of this, he knelt down at Xiao Haitang with a plop and kowtowed again and again.
Xiao Haitang hurriedly said, "Grandpa Liu, what are you doing here?" Ahem, ahem, quick, let's quickly change places, it's too choking here. ”
She said as she took the lead and ran to the bottom of the hill on this side.
Liu Chuansheng immediately followed, and the big guys all followed.
When they got here, they were all dusty.
Liu Chuansheng also wanted to thank Xiao Haitang, and Xiao Haitang said: "Check if the number of people is less." ”
So their watchmen looked at the number of the guards, and the miners checked the number of people who mined.
The number of people who smelted and checked the smelting, and even the people who confirmed them escaped from the gang.
All of them ran out, and not a single one was missing.
Even their puppies ran out without any injuries.
Liu Chuansheng was relieved and said to everyone: "Today, all of our lives were saved by the eldest girl of the Chen family, and the grace of saving lives is huge, please accept my worship." ”
As he spoke, he knelt down in front of the little begonia and kowtowed.
Everyone knelt down and kowtowed to her, and everyone said, "The grace of saving lives is great, please accept my worship." ”
Seeing so many people bowing down to her, Xiao Haitang hurriedly said, "Get up, get up." ”
At this time, Zhou Yuanzheng hurried over on horseback.
He happened to be nearby when he heard the loud noise, so he rushed over as soon as possible.
When he arrived at the place, he happened to see everyone kneeling in front of the little begonia.
Little begonias are there too?
He hurriedly galloped down from his horse to check on the situation of Xiao Haitang.
Xiao Haitang was suddenly pulled over, and then saw Zhou Yuanzheng's pink face with a little anxiety.
"Brother Zhou, I'm fine, everyone is fine."
Zhou Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief at this time, looked at the kneeling people, and asked them all to get up.
Liu Chuansheng told Zhou Yuanzheng what happened.
After Zhou Yuanzheng listened, he looked at Xiao Haitang, and then asked everyone to go back and rest first.
Liu Chuansheng asked everyone to go back and rest first, and come back tomorrow.
Everyone went back.
Zhou Yuanzheng also wanted to take a look inside, but Liu Chuansheng stopped him, saying that the dragon had just turned over, and I was afraid that there was still residual power, so it was better not to go in.
Xiao Haitang was also worried about him, and said, "Brother Zhou, why don't we go in and watch it today?" Tomorrow? ”
Zhou Yuanzheng nodded.
They went back together, and Liu Chuansheng also followed him back to the slope.
He used to live here in the mine, but now the situation inside is unknown, and Zhou Yuanzheng didn't allow him to live here again tonight, so he went back with them.
When he returned to the slope, Xiao Haitang asked, "Grandpa Liu, have you ever encountered this kind of thing before?"
As soon as you beat the drums, everyone ran out, you must have trained before, right? ”
Liu Chuansheng said: "Yes, I have trained.
It's just that I haven't encountered an earth dragon turning over before, but there were often accidents in the mine at that time. ”
"Huh? What's going on? Little Begonia asked.
"There are people who are hit by stones, there are people who are injured by carrying stones, and there are people who twist their feet when they walk, and accidents happen almost every day.
At that time, the overseers did not treat people as human beings, but it is no wonder that those who went to the quarries were all assigned prisoners, and no one cared. ”
As soon as Xiao Haitang heard him say the word "distribution", he hurriedly asked, "Then grandpa, did you eat yamen rice before?" ”
"That's right, I used to eat yamen food, but after I became a supervisor, I asked everyone to come strictly according to the requirements, and the accidents were reduced a lot." Liu Chuansheng said.
"You're in charge of all the assigned prisoners, huh?"
"Yes, all of them are assigned prisoners."
"Then do you know Xu Shi'an?"
When Liu Chuansheng heard her ask Xu Shi'an, he hurriedly asked, "How do you know him?" ”
"He's my grandfather."
"Is that true?"
"Of course it's true, he's my grandfather, you must know him, don't you? Where is he? ”
Liu Chuansheng was very excited, and hurriedly said: "I know where he is, he is in the Moganshan mine."
But you don't necessarily get to see him.
He saw no strangers in that place. ”
"Where is Moganshan?"
"Moganshan in Yongning Prefecture, there are all prisoners there, and there are troops guarding it.
In order to prevent prisoners from escaping, the guards were very strict, and outsiders could not enter at all. ”
"Do you know how he is? Is it being whipped every day? Is it possible to eat and drink rice soup every day? Isn't it hungry and skinny? Xiao Haitang thought that his maternal grandfather might be abused, and he immediately became aggrieved.
Liu Chuansheng hurriedly said: "That's not true, because Lord Xu is an honest official and is deeply loved by the people."
Even in the quarry, everyone respects and loves him very much.
The officers and men were also very respectful to him.
There he was taking notes, holding a pen.
Compared with ordinary people, it is not suffering, and some are like masters at the yamen.
But compared to the time when he was a great man, he did suffer.
A talent like Lord Xu should not be reduced to such a state. ”
Xiao Haitang heard him say that her grandfather was not whipped every day, nor was he unable to eat, so she finally put her mind at ease.
She bowed to him and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Liu." ”
Liu Chuansheng hurriedly got up and returned the salute.
Xiao Haitang said to Zhou Yuanzheng: "Brother Zhou, I have to go home quickly, I want to report to my mother and my grandmother." ”
"I'll send you."
"No, you just have to do your job." Little Begonia said that she was going out.
Zhou Yuanzheng had no choice but to ask Li Jia to send them back.
When Little Begonia came home, she told her mother and grandmother that her grandfather was here.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly grabbed her arm and asked, "What you said is true?" ”
"It's true, it was said by Grandpa Liu, who was in charge of quarrying on the slope, and he used to be the person in charge of the quarry.
If you don't believe me, you can ask him tomorrow with me. ”
Mrs. Xu couldn't wait to go immediately, but seeing that it was getting late, she had to give up.
However, she also found some comfort in hearing that he had not been mistreated in the quarry.
The next day, she went to work with Chen Dashan and Chen Liu.
