Zhao Lao Wu heard the noise outside the barracks, and he didn't need to open his eyes to know that it was the foreman who called for work. He pushed the thigh in his arms away and put his hand on the thigh master's buttocks: "Saheka, get up." ”

But the people around him were still snoring beautifully, and Zhao Lao Wu, who had already stood up and stretched his waist, simply kicked the ass of the greeting card.

"Lao Tzu told you to wake up, still sleep!"

There are 12 people living in this barracks, all on the ground, and there are 4 stools and 1 large table against the wall, and under the table are some daily necessities for the 12 people. The designer of the house also thoughtfully designed a wooden cabinet for them in the corner, but the group of people didn't have anything to put in it, so they just messed around and put some picked up stones or wood.

Rubbing his buttocks, he got out of bed with a bow and a mouthful, and then went out with a wooden basin and his own burlap towel like the other 11 people in the barracks.

The sun had not yet fully come out, and the mountains in the east had been illuminated, but the night sky above them was still black, and the stars were still clearly visible. But except for Liu Yifeng, who crossed over, looked up from time to time to watch this scene, no one else was interested at all.

After all, from the beginning of their birth, they knew that as long as the weather was good, the night sky would be full of stars. They simply can't imagine that in another 300 years or so, you won't be able to see the stars when you look up in the world's most populous places.

Zhao Lao Wu took the 11 roommates of his barracks and walked to a sink, where a steaming wooden bucket had been placed, and a Jurchen man was waiting for them with a wooden scoop with an indifferent expression.

"Report, barracks No. 6 should have 12 people, but it actually reached 12 people."

"Well, wash your face."

"Yes!"

The Jurchen people poured half a basin of hot water into the wooden basin with a wooden scoop, and then they walked to the sink themselves, scooped the remaining half basin of cold water with the wooden scoop in the sink, and finally walked away from the sink and washed their faces with a sackcloth, and some would simply take off their shirts and start wiping their bodies.

Although it has not snowed yet, the temperature at night in the camp is close to 0 degrees Celsius when the camp sits in the mountains.

Then they would walk to a shed, where someone was already emitting strange black powder and dull water. The black powder is wood toner, and the water is salt and vinegar water, which is used for brushing their teeth.

Brushing teeth used to be the least favorite part of the camp's people, because brushing teeth is something that rich masters will do, and many of them have bad teeth and don't care about it for a long time. However, Liu Yifeng forced them to brush their teeth, and they endured the bitter taste of charcoal powder and the unpleasant taste of salt and vinegar water, and routinely brushed their teeth.

But as they get used to it and brush their teeth for more than two months, some people have fallen in love with brushing their teeth, and if you don't let him brush them, they will beg you to let him brush them. These people basically have pulpitis and tooth decay, the pulp nerve will hurt every night, people who have had toothache know what it means to "toothache is not a disease, pain kills", they began to brush their teeth, the symptoms of toothache were relieved a lot.

Zhao Lao Wu was one of them, and he rubbed his teeth with his fingers with his fingers. A man walked over and crouched beside him, and began to brush his teeth, but not with his fingers, but with a tooth stick.

"Lord Liu."

Zhao Lao Wu hurriedly said hello, the man nodded, and began to brush his teeth with a tooth hair stick dipped in carbon ash. This made Zhao Lao Wu extremely envious, he had already heard Lord Liu say that their toothache was because there was dirt between their teeth, so they had to brush their toothbrush out. You can't pick out the gap between your teeth with your fingernails, but you can. And having a tooth hair stick is a manifestation of his high status in the camp, so he is naturally very envious.

"Master Liu, give you water!"

Compared with Zhao Lao Wu's neither humble nor arrogant, Saheka is much more diligent, there is flattery, longing in his eyes, and hidden jealousy that is not so good.

Because this Xiao Liu is a Jurchen, but his status in the camp is higher than that of many Han people.

He is Aobai.

Ao Bai completely abandoned his Jurchen surname and begged Liu Yifeng to give him his surname, which was a manifestation of complete recognition of the Lord. Once Liu Yifeng was given the surname, from then on, Ao Bai and his descendants were Liu Yifeng's absolute domestic slaves, and they were both prosperous and lossy.

Liu Yifeng didn't think so much, so he asked Ao Bai to follow his surname, but he didn't change his name, he is now called Liu Ao Bai.

On the Nanyang level, Ao Bai leaned on Liu Yifeng's cover, and he began to grow his hair intentionally or unintentionally, which would have made him already a hairstyle with medium to long hair that would be counted in later generations. When many Han people saw him for the first time, they didn't see that he was a Jurchen at all, because too many of them were sent to Dongshan Prefecture with their heads shaved for various reasons.

"Zhao Lao Wu, why hasn't your group gained anything recently?"

After spitting out the salt and vinegar water that gargled his mouth, Ao Bai tilted his head and squinted his eyes and looked at Zhao Lao Wu beside him expressionlessly, he deliberately walked to his side to brush his teeth, the purpose was for this conversation.

Suddenly, Zhao Lao Wu was extremely nervous, and Saheka secretly scolded himself for why he wanted to come over, he couldn't leave now, and if he didn't go, he was afraid of harming the pond fish.

"Little... Lord Liu, the river we divide really has no gold! ”

Ao Bai continued to stare at him silently, staring at Zhao Lao Wu until he felt that his legs were weak, and then he spoke: "It doesn't matter if you don't find gold, there is a guaranteed salary and work, but if I find out that someone is hiding gold......

"No, it won't! No, it won't! Zhao Lao Wu hurriedly denied it.

"Yes, Master Xiao Liu, no, there will definitely be no one in our group who hides gold!"

"It's better not, just call your group to gather at the playground as soon as you're done brushing your teeth."

Zhao Lao Wu and Saheka hurriedly responded and watched Ao Bai leave.

"Do you know who hid the gold, Sahoka?"

Saheka shook his head at first, but said uncertainly: "Team leader, maybe Li Qi and they have a problem." ”

"Li Qi and Wang Ergou?"

Saheka nodded slightly, he was a man who came last year, and he had been doing leather nitrate work in the small fur trading house in the city of Aoshan. After the appearance of Jinshan City, his shopkeeper sold the trading house and led them south to dig for gold, but he was sold after all his savings were exhausted.

As the husband of the Jurchen people, he has always dared not provoke the husband of the Han people, even in Liu Yifeng, a place where it is clearly stipulated that it is not allowed to bully people because of different nationalities, he has always been a man with his tail between his legs in the face of the Han people, and habitually subconsciously approached the people in power among the Han people, such as their team leader: Zhao Lao Wu.

Li Qi and Wang Ergou are two Han husbands in their group who have not served Zhao Lao Wu very much, and all three of them will complete their third year of service next year. Judging from the current situation, the last shopkeeper they served should be Liu Yifeng, and Liu Yifeng is digging gold, and the focus is on digging gold, and the three of them have a different mind.

Zhao Lao Wu is a native of Qingzhou, honest and duty, his idea is very simple: continue to follow Liu Yifeng after the expiration of his service next year. Liu Yifeng has already dug up the gold, whether he finds a way to sell it or hand it over to the Maritime Safety Bureau, the future is immeasurable.

Li Qi and Wang Ergou didn't think so, and the two of them always wanted to wait for the end of their service next year to dig for gold. But digging for gold requires original capital, so the two are ready to "borrow" a little from Liu Yifeng.

Zhao Lao Wu didn't know the plans of the two, but the sneaky appearance of the two had indeed attracted the attention of the rest of the group who got along day and night, and it was natural for the two to be suspected.

"I know, Saheka, you go and stabilize them, and I'll go find Lord Xiao Liu."

Ao Bai said that he asked them to gather, so that he would personally lead people to search the bodies and residences of the members of their group, and once they found gold, they would only punish the real culprit if they found the real culprit, and if they couldn't find it, the whole group would be punished together.

"What you said is true?"

"Yes, Lord Xiao Liu, there may be a problem with Li Qi and Wang Ergou in our group."

Ao Bai didn't go to the two of them immediately, but thought for a moment and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before that?" ”

"Lord Xiao Liu, I only found out after you clicked on it."

Ao Bai waited for what he wanted, squinted his eyes and immediately said, "Who told you?" ”

"A Jurchen in my group."

"Sahoka?"

"Yes."

"Dog minion!"

Zhao Lao Wu didn't know why Lord Xiao Liu was so angry all of a sudden, and he also knew that the phrase "dog minion" didn't mean him. Because although Ao Bai has a Han surname and a higher status than himself in the camp, he is still a Jurchen. His master is a pure-blooded Han man, so Lord Xiao Liu definitely doesn't have the courage to scold the Han people as "dog slaves".

Moreover, this kind of scolding is more used between Jurchens.

"Lord Xiao Liu, is there a problem with Saheka?"

"Nonsense!" Ao Bai glanced at Zhao Lao Wu, if Zhao Lao Wu was not Han, he would have scolded him a long time ago: "Your group has not mined anything for 6 days, and the group in the same area as you can dig for gold, you are now saying that Li Qi and Wang Ergou in your group have a problem, so let me ask you: There are 12 people in your group, can the two of them dig out gold?" ”

Zhao Lao Wu suddenly realized the problem.

Ao Bai continued to complain: "Saheka is a Jurchen, Li Qi and Wang Ergou, two Han people, will not take him with him for anything, so how does he know that there is a problem with these two people?" Naturally, what did he see, and he could see what others could not see? Then why didn't anyone tell you that Li Qi and Wang Ergou had a problem? ”

Zhao Lao Wu was already a little scared, he not only found the problem, but also understood the dereliction of duty in his eyes.

How can a group of 12 people be able to mine gold for just two people?

It must have been someone else who also found out, but all of them were secretly handed over to Li Qi and Wang Ergou. Saheka is the only non-Han in the group, and he is naturally isolated by other Han people, so he hugs his thighs so tightly, he can see the small movements of other people in the group and he can't see it, which can only mean that he is also isolated by other people in the group!

Then the problem is serious!

Zhao Lao Wu didn't have time to worry about his dereliction of duty, he remembered the six people who almost died under the fire a month ago.

It was God who saved them that time, which also made the six of them not only no longer have private gold, but also urged others to be honest and the hardest working people.

But this time, will God still help?

Zhao Lao Wu watched Ao Bai pull out the fire gun, skillfully playing, and the whole person was cold with cold hands and feet.
