Chapter 444: The Hidden Miner
Sometimes, when they witness an injustice happening, some people do not feel too indignant, but are diluted by a kind of funny and absurd.
Huo Yuhao is like this now, he looked at the red-haired strong man in front of him who was showing off his might, and he really wanted to see what other classic quotations the other party could burst.
The red-haired strong man was tall and domineering in the face of Huo Yuhao, but soon he was attracted by a scent of fragrance, and his big nostrils were constantly moving.
The source of the fragrance was the herring on the grill in front of him.
The red-haired man didn't even ask the price, he grabbed a large grilled fish and devoured it.
Huo Yuhao didn't stop it, and a pair of eyes behind the sunglasses had already narrowed into slits.
Huo Qiu'er turned her head and glanced at him, as if she was surprised that he could endure it.
Tianmeng immediately shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hey, stupid big man, you haven't paid yet." ”
"Pay? You set up a stall here privately, and you are embarrassed to ask Lao Tzu for money? The red-haired strong man said with enjoyment while biting the fish, "Not bad, I didn't expect you to have a bit of craftsmanship, looking at your face, you should have just arrived." ”
"Work under our brother Nan, with this barbecue skill, you can eat and drink spicy, and you don't have to knock stones with this group of dark people every day."
As he spoke, he glanced contemptuously at the miners around him, his tone full of mockery. And the surrounding miners and women did not dare to say anything when they heard his taunts.
Huo Yuhao spoke up at this time, and did not accuse or curse, but calmly confirmed a question: "Brother Nan in your mouth is also from Xingluo, right?" ”
The red-haired strong man raised his head and laughed: "Brother Nan used to be a Xingluo person, as long as he came to the mining area, he didn't distinguish between Xingluo people and Sun and Moon people." If you want to eat in the mining area, you have to obediently listen to our Nange, he is a big celebrity under the owner of the Ding mine. This piece is already in his hands. ”
"Boy, I see that your skills are good, come with me to see Brother Nan."
After receiving an affirmative reply, Huo Yuhao laughed helplessly and straightforwardly: "Oh, it turns out that you were all Xingluo before, understand." ”
Originally, he still fantasized that the red-haired strong man and the Nan brother behind him were forced by the obscenity of the mine owner to fish these starry fellows, but judging from his arrogant and unreasonable posture, it was completely his true nature.
"Thanks to your patronage, two copper plates for a grilled fish."
Huo Yuhao suddenly said very flatly, and his tone sounded like he was completely treating the red-haired strong man as a normal customer.
And the red-haired strong man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his expression suddenly turned gloomy: "You still have the courage to collect money, didn't you hear what Lao Tzu just said?" ”
Huo Yuhao still repeated flatly: "Two copper plates." ”
The red-haired man took a bite of the grilled fish in his hand, and his eyes widened angrily: "I think you are really deaf." ”
Huo Yuhao raised his head slowly, and his originally flat tone was full of chills for a moment: "What? Do you eat pretty food? ”
The red-haired strong man didn't expect Huo Yuhao to be a master who wanted money and didn't want his life, he dared to collect money from him after talking to such an extent, but he felt that his face was lost in front of everyone.
He threw the wooden stick in his hand to the ground, and was about to wave his hand and clench his fist at Huo Yuhao: "Toast and don't eat and drink, Lao Tzu will smash your stall today!" ”
The microscopic miners and women were all worried about Huo Yuhao's fate when they saw this situation. After all, they were all ordinary people, and the red-haired strong man who was a great soul master already made them extremely afraid.
This punch was enough to give a strong adult male a concussion and become unconscious.
However, just as the red-haired man's fist just burst out, his whole person had lost his center of gravity, his feet were off the ground, and the whole person was lifted up by an unknown huge force.
He was horrified to find that Huo Yuhao's arm was harder than any metal, lifting his collar in the air like a steel tong, and he didn't even have the slightest ability to resist.
This person turned out to be a soul master too? Soul Venerable? Or is it the Soul Sect?
"I don't drink."
A cold voice came into the ears of the red-haired man, and he realized that the ordinary-looking little vendor in front of him was actually an iron plate that he couldn't afford to provoke.
At this juncture, he used his last strength to shout: "You dare to make trouble on Brother Nan's territory, Brother Nan will never let you go!" ”
The threat of the red-haired strong man seemed to have worked, Huo Yuhao didn't make any further movements, just lifted him like this, and asked coldly, "Is Brother Nan in your mouth very strong?" ”
Seeing Huo Yuhao's jealous look, the red-haired strong man had a little confidence: "Our Nan brother will soon break through the Fourth Ring Road and become the largest mine owner in the southeast mining area, if you know each other, you can put me down." ”
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly when he heard this: "Isn't the biggest mine owner here surnamed Ding?" When is it someone else's turn? ”
The red-haired strong man said: "The owner of the Ding mine said a few days ago that he would hand over all the mining areas under his command to Brother Nan, if you still want to mix in the mining area in the future, you can ......."
Before he finished his words, Huo Yuhao had lost his patience, didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, and walked towards the alley at the corner of the street with his tall body.
Huo Qiu'er witnessed him passing, and the surrounding miners and women didn't dare to follow, so they could only look forward to it with fear and curiosity.
After a while, Huo Yuhao came back lightly.
Huo Qiu'er frowned and asked suspiciously, "What did you do to him?" ”
Huo Yuhao replied with a nonchalant face: "Throw it away." ”
Huo Qiu'er: "......"
The answer was short and inspiring.
She was sure that Huo Yuhao should not kill the other party for this trivial matter, but it was unknown what exactly was thrown, and it would not be a comfortable ending anyway.
Tianmeng stuck out his tongue to the side, gloating: "You deserve it, this is the end if you don't give money to buy things." ”
The surrounding miners and women were stunned when they saw such a scene.
"Oh no, young man, sir, you ...... You're a Soul Master! ”
The middle-aged woman's salutation and tone changed suddenly, and the original cordiality and enthusiasm were gone, and now they were full of awe.
They didn't dare to imagine Huo Yuhao's strength, after all, the red-haired strong man of the Second Ring Great Soul Master was no longer something they dared to oppose.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, and said to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, don't be afraid, I just came to the mining area to learn about the situation, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing." ”
"Just talk to me casually like you did before."
casually taught a lesson to the dogs of the local underworld forces, and Huo Yuhao's image suddenly rose a lot.
A miner suddenly realized: "I see, you are a soul master, so you can buy such cheap fish." ”
Huo Qiu'er asked, "Is there any explanation?" ”
The miner sighed: "As soon as those Sun and Moon Empire people hear our Xingluo accent, they will sit on the ground and raise the price, but as long as it is a soul master, even if it is only one ring, they will not dare to raise the price." ”
Another miner took over and said indignantly: "Yes, those people bought the goods at a low price in Mingdu, and then transported them to the mining area to sell them to us at a high price." ”
"It's just a matter of being slaughtered by the Sun and Moon people, I didn't expect that they are all Xingluo fellow villagers, and they are ruthless when they slaughter them, and if they want to take the whole family to eat a sumptuous meal, they may not be able to stop a single Silver Soul Coin."
The group of people in their mouths is naturally the so-called Nange.
One person complained, and another person echoed it, and the surrounding area quickly turned into a scene of cursing against Nange.
"Sometimes, it's easier for fellow villagers to slaughter." Huo Yuhao said lightly, "Haven't you ever thought about leaving here?" ”
The old miner lamented, "We've lived here for so many years, and there aren't many other places that can accommodate us." Things are more expensive, the income is not bad, as long as you are willing to save, you can still save a lot of money. ”
Enjoying the suffering, thinking about the good, and comforting themselves as much as possible is their true portrayal.
Huo Yuhao laughed when he heard this: "The mining area makes money and the mining area spends, and I want to take it home." ”
The middle-aged woman stared at Huo Yuhao for a long time before she hesitated: "Young man, I'll just say that you didn't come here to set up a stall. Listen to my advice, if you stay here and have no future, you have provoked the mine owner's people again, so you should leave early. ”
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Auntie, don't worry, those people are not to be afraid." ”
The middle-aged woman paused and continued to persuade: "Young man, you have such a strong talent at such a young age, staying here will only bury you, you have this strength, where is it not good in Mingdu, why did you come to this mining area?" ”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, "Auntie, on the contrary, if nothing else, this mining area will soon become a mountain of gold that everyone wants." ”
His words did not arouse the excitement and excitement of the people around him, on the contrary, everyone couldn't help but change their faces when they heard this.
Huo Yuhao immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
There's a story in it, and these people must know something.
"Auntie, do you know anything?"
"No, we don't know anything."
The middle-aged woman waved her hand busily.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, and then looked at another young miner who was about twenty-five or sixteen years old.
"Little brother, do you know anything?"
"I don't know, I don't know." The young miner shook his head busily, "I don't know anything about the Mithril Mine. ”
Huo Yuhao: "......"
Everyone threw indignant glances at the young miner, and the young miner quickly covered his mouth, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and his face was full of shame.
He didn't know why he made a mistake and said the secret directly, as if there was an invisible force that allowed him to subconsciously answer the other party's question.
Huo Yuhao frowned and warned: "Auntie, there is nothing to hide, such important news, it is impossible for no one to know about it because you want to say it, don't I come here for this?" ”
"And Mithril is not something you can keep, once a large amount of Mithril appears on the black market, it is easy to find the southeast mining area, and when the metal detector comes to scan it, there is no mine in the ground that can be hidden."
The old miner sighed heavily and said, "Young man, you misunderstood us. ”
"We people can only mine, and we don't know how to refine metals, we don't want outsiders to know about the Mithril Mine, and we don't want to take the Mithril Mine for ourselves at all."
Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, "Then why are you hiding it?" ”
The old miner sighed again: "We only know that once the news of such a precious rare metal ore spreads, it will definitely attract other forces to fight." ”
"At that time, no matter who the new owner of this mining area is, it will be impossible for us to continue mining here, and even if we hire miners, we will only hire local people in Mingdu."
"We had to leave the mine. But where can we go after leaving the mine? ”
His dark face looked even more pathetic, and his blackened beard trembled.
"We people don't have any skills, we just hope that the news of that Mithril mine is fake, and we can dig here for a few more years to save some money."
Huo Yuhao was silent when he heard this.
His first reaction was also that the concealment was due to the fact that they had taken a fancy to the priceless Mithril Mine, and he was extremely surprised by the real reason given by the old miner, and he also felt a little heavy.
After a long time, Huo Yuhao said lightly: "Uncle and aunt, thank you, I know almost everything." ”
With that, he cleaned up his grill and stall, and gestured to his side, and the Ice Emperor took Tianmeng and left behind him with the Snow Emperor Huo Qiu'er.
The miners and women just watched him go, and no one said a word, perhaps just as if he had been sent by some powerful force to find out about the Mythril mine.
Sighs rang out one after another, as if they had seen the major forces fighting for the Mithril Mine, and they were forced to displace the migrant miners.
Most of them have saved some savings over the years in the mines, but they are more afraid of the destruction of their habitual homes and do not know where to go.
Staying in the Sun and Moon Empire and being sidelined? Or go back to the Star Luo Empire?
Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiu'er walked side by side on the street, and the Heavenly Dream and the Second Emperor of Ice and Snow had already returned to the Sea of Spirits.
Tianmeng has been holding the Ice Emperor's leg in the sea of spirits and crying, and the time of grilling fish that finally came to an end is over at once, and it is not enjoyable at all.
Huo Yuhao recalled the words of the red-haired man, and his heart was full of questions.
The owner of the Ding mine in his mouth should be Ding Yi, the largest mine owner in the mining area in the mouth of the Ordinary League, but the owner of the Ding mine doesn't seem to be in charge of this mining area that is on the verge of exhaustion, and he actually handed it over to his subordinates to take care of.
That Nan Ge has become the emperor of this immigrant community, relying on a little strength to fish and meat fellows.
But Huo Yuhao was very curious, why did the Ding mine owner say that he handed over the mining area to that Nange? Doesn't he have any other subordinates to hand over to a stranger?
"You always have the utmost compassion for the weak and do not refuse to fit in." Huo Qiu'er's tone seemed to be complimenting, but it was more like teasing, "You really have an inexplicable obsession with setting up a stall to sell barbecue." ”
Huo Yuhao said lightly: "The peddler pawn, leading the car to sell pulp, is an ancient occupation, and like the miners of Shi Peng and Gray Friends, they rely on their own labor in exchange for a proper remuneration. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. ”
He slowly raised his head, facing a more imposing restaurant in the spiritual exploration, which should be the wine shop with high prices that the miners said.
"Next, I'm going to grab market share." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Do you want to see what a business war is?" ”
Huo Qiu'er was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you're talking about business wars?" ”
