Chapter 09: Qingyuan Stone
The next day, as soon as the sky was polished, Gao Feng and the two were woken up, and then under the leadership of Storm Bear, a group of nine people walked out of the cell.
The surrounding cells, by this time, had all been opened, and all the prisoners had come out in turn.
Gao Feng took Harry and followed the prisoners to the central square and lined up, and without waiting too long, it was Gao Feng's turn to eat.
Breakfast is a fist-sized piece of black bread and a bowl of vegetable soup, the bread is very hard and has a moldy taste, it is green vegetable soup, and it also has a rancid taste.
There were no tables or chairs in the square, and all the prisoners were holding food and squatting next to them to eat.
Gao Feng has no choice, and he can only do so.
Gao Feng looked at the bread, and sniffed the green vegetable soup in his hand, he hadn't eaten it all night, his stomach was really hungry, but this kind of food was too bad, this is authentic junk food.
Gao Feng sighed and ate with his eyes closed.
People are iron and steel, and if they want to live, not to mention just moldy food, even rotten food must be eaten.
Gao Feng ate the bread and vegetable soup in two bites, and when he looked up, he saw that Harry was still looking at the bread in a daze.
Gao Feng wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth and said in a low voice: "If you want to live, eat it quickly." ”
"I want to live, I want to live. Harry said firmly, and with a mouth, he also began to eat.
Harry touched his stomach and said with emotion: "It's really unpalatable, but I'm so hungry." ”
It's this kind of junk food, which won't let you eat enough, and the days to come will be really difficult.
Gao Feng squatted on the ground, but a pair of eyes looked around.
This prison has a large area and a large number of prisoners, at least 5,000 prisoners are serving here, but there are not too many guards, at least now there are only more than 200 guards in the peak.
Although there are not many guards, it does not mean that the guards are not strict, because the people who can get here are basically ordinary people, and those guards are well-trained and well-armed elite soldiers, two hundred against five thousand, and most of these five thousand prisoners have no chance of winning.
This is not the earth, but the world of magic and swords, a warrior with fighting spirit, killing a hundred, but it is an easy thing.
And the main road up and down the mountain was guarded by these guards, and it was extremely difficult to escape from prison.
But no matter how difficult it was, he had to escape, because Lin Feng didn't want to die here, so escaping from prison became his only choice.
It didn't take long for shouts to sound everywhere in the square, and Storm Bear also came over and beckoned towards the two, and Gao Feng immediately took Harry and walked over flatteringly.
Storm Bear waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's work." ”
Several people in the same cell followed behind Storm Bear, and Gao Feng Harry was no exception.
The group walked towards the back mountain, and after a steep mountain road of 500 meters, a huge cave appeared in front of the peak.
At the entrance of the cave, everyone lined up again, and then each received a basket and a pickaxe, followed by the violent bear, and entered the cave.
Storm Bear turned his head to Gao Feng and said: "New here, let me tell you the rules of our place first, in our place, if you don't work, there is no food, you must dig a basket of Qingyuan stone every day, dig a basket, there is food, this is your daily work." ”
"I understand the boss, I must do a good job. Gao Feng hurriedly said.
Storm Bear nodded, and walked silently towards the depths of the cavern.
Daqingshan produces an ore called Qingyuanshi, which is a hard-textured primary alchemy material, and Qingyuanshi powder needs to be used in the production of magic lamps.
As a primary alchemy material, the value of Qingyuan stone itself is not high, similar to a basket of Qingyuan stone, it is only three silver coins, but Qingyuan stone is hard, it is not easy to mine, and labor costs account for the majority, so the profit of mining Qingyuan stone is not too high.
However, Daqingshan Prison is completely different, they use prisoners to quarry, they do not have to pay for work at all, all the income belongs to the prison, one person picks one basket, 5,000 people is 5,000 baskets, a day is 15,000 silver coins, one silver coin is equivalent to 100 yuan, that is to say, a day's income is 1.5 million yuan.
In a month, it was 45 million, and the huge income can be imagined.
Such an astonishing benefit, this is also the reason for the existence of Daqingshan Prison.
Under the guidance of the violent bear, the group walked straight towards the depths of the cave, there is no light in the cave, but the Qingyuan stone itself will emit a faint blue light, so even if there is no light, the cave is not dark, and you can basically see.
After advancing three to five hundred meters in the huge and crooked cave, Storm Bear stopped next to a cave wall, and it was obvious that in the past, Storm Bear and the others were quarrying here.
When the quarrying began, Gao Feng tightened the pickaxe in his hand and chiseled fiercely towards the cave wall.
"Ding!"
Where the hoe collided with the wall of the cave, there was a spark, and only a little stone powder was knocked down by the hard hoe.
Gao Feng was taken aback, it was so hard Qingyuan stone.
The violent bear on the side let out a sneer: "Work hard, you are a mud knead, do you want to eat tonight?" ”
Storm Bear sneered, but he didn't move, instead threw his pickaxe to the ground and snoozed against the wall.
Gao Feng glanced at everyone, and the situation of the other people was similar to himself, the crane's beak hoe hit the wall, and it was also full of sparks, but they were not surprised, and they still continued to hit the previous landing point, and the hard Qingyuan stone was hit continuously, and finally shattered a small piece.
I see, it seems that the collection of Qingyuan stone is really a hard work, no wonder you only need to collect a basket a day, according to the current progress, a basket of collection a day, but it is still a very difficult thing, a little lazy, I am afraid it will be difficult to complete.
It's not easy to sit in prison and sit on this job.
Gao Feng looked at Harry again, Harry was also in the same trouble, the Qingyuan stone was too hard, and Harry was a person who had never done rough work, so he suddenly frowned, and chiseled on the wall for a long time, except for laying some stone powder, but it was half a stone, and it was not knocked down.
Gao Feng sighed, could only pick up the pickaxe, and continued to hit the wall.
I didn't eat enough in the morning, and I was beaten again yesterday, Gao Feng was weak for a long time, but he found that his strength was getting smaller and smaller, and he couldn't even hold the pickaxe in his hand.
It's not okay to go on like this, you can't dig up Qingyuan Stone, you can't exchange food for food, just being hungry is enough to starve yourself to death.
At this moment, Harry sneakily tugged at Gao Feng's sleeve, and a fist-sized Qingyuan stone was handed to Gao Feng's hand.
