Volume 1 Chapter 45 The Reappearance of the Prohibition
This was the fifth day of the third month that Li Tian and Uncle Wang had come to the mine, and it was also the first year that Li Tian had spent outside.
Before this, Li Tian thought that he might stay in Tianxiang Restaurant for the New Year because of such and such things.
At that time, Hou Ping also joked that if Li Tian really couldn't go home, he would take Li Tian back to his home, and then take Li Tian to the mansion of the foreign master where Hou Ping's parents worked to see the world and see what it means to be prosperous and wealthy.
Li Tian thought of the beginning, but he didn't think of the end.
Indeed, he has not been at home this year.
But at that time, he would never have imagined that his first year outside would be with a room of miners.
Due to the special nature of the mine, there is only one month's money for one month's work here, and the month of receiving the monthly money must be full.
Therefore, many miners did not go home even for the Chinese New Year, and chose to finish the month first, and then go home to rest for a while.
Of course, those who can go home are a small number of people, and the miners in the mines, most of them are prisoners, homeless refugees, beggars, etc., so to speak, the mine is their home.
On the first day of the new year, the mine gave all miners a day off, and even if they did not mine, they could be regarded as completing the task.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the government invited more than a dozen cooks very humanely, and got up early in the morning to make dumplings for all the miners.
The miners, who had worked hard for a year, ate dumplings and were excited to learn about the day off.
As a direct result, the village at the foot of the mine was full of teahouses, taverns, and bathhouses, and there were long queues at the brothels next to the bathhouses......
Some people are happy and some are worried, Li Tian and Uncle Wang's labor contract stipulates that the two of them cannot leave the mine, so the two of them could not return to Houqi Town during the holiday this day, so they could only stay in the mine and chat with those miners and take a bath.
Throughout the day of the first day of the new year, Uncle Wang always talked about his aunt and Xiao En girl, I don't know how the two of them spent this year, whether they bought meat to eat, and whether the little girl like a gluttonous cat at home would be grinding sugar gourds again.
Li Tian could see that Uncle Wang's heart had already left the mine and flew to the small, warm house that belonged to him in Houqi Town.
Li Tian thought to himself, there were still more than twenty days to leave the mine, and it was finally over......
…………
Houqi Town.
"Mother~ It's snowing, what a big snowflake!" In the courtyard of the living house of Tianxiang Restaurant in Houqi Town, Xiao En girl finally regained some of her former liveliness and cheerfulness.
The aunt came out of the house when she heard this: "No wonder it's so cold in the morning, Xiao En, are you cold, put on a cotton jacket!" ”
"Mother~ I don't... Ah~"
Xiao En girl was patronizing her aunt just now, and before she could say the cold word, she slipped and fell without paying attention.
"Huh! Xiao En, it's okay! "Auntie take two steps quickly and come over to help Xiaoen.
"Mother, I'm fine." The little girl was also forbidden to fall, and immediately stood up after falling to the ground, and threw herself on the soil. "Mother, Daddy and Brother Li Tian are coming back soon!"
Xiao En hadn't seen Uncle Wang and Li Tian for more than two months, and he didn't know how the two of them were doing in the mine.
"I'm coming back, I'm coming back," the aunt looked in the direction of the mine outside the city as she stroked her little belly.
Under the padded jacket, where outsiders can't see, is the aunt's slightly bulging little belly, which is not because she eats too much.
Others don't know, but the aunt herself knows that Uncle Wang went to the mine for two months, and he didn't come to the menstrual affair once, just like when he was pregnant with Xiaoen......
…………
Mine cave entrance.
"Uncle Wang, it's snowing, it's so thick snow! It's all up to the knees! Li Tian and Uncle Wang came out of the mine with their front and back feet, and Li Tian first saw a thick layer of snow on the ground.
"It's true, I can't feel how cold it is in the mine, such a big snow, I don't know if the two of them are cold." Uncle Wang sighed with emotion, and then thought of home.
"Uncle Wang, don't worry, the firewood in our yard is enough, and the firewood I chopped can be burned until spring! Hehe...... "Li Tian and Uncle Wang have been together for so long, and they are no longer prominent, and they will joke with Uncle Wang in the tone of talking to their peers."
"It's thanks to you kid, otherwise they would be in real trouble!" Uncle Wang really thanked Li Tian from the bottom of his heart. During this time, Li Tianke helped his family too much.
"Uncle Wang, what are you talking about, we all work in one place, that is a family, and our family doesn't speak two words." Li Tian patted his chest and said to Uncle Wang.
"The family is right, but you can't beat the idea of my girl, you two are eight years old, that girl will run to you if she is fine, you have to control a little measure, otherwise...... Hum! Although Uncle Wang is very optimistic about Li Tian, as the father of Xiao Enya, he does not approve of Li Tian, but the age difference between the two is a little much. This belongs to the old cow eating grass seeds!
"Haha, Uncle Wang, where do you want to go, I treat Xiao En as a younger sister, how old is she!" Li Tian was a little embarrassed by Uncle Wang, Li Tian treated Xiao En girl as a sister at first, but the development direction of the two was a little wrong, especially before Li Tian came to the mine, the little girl hung on Li Tian's neck.
Li Tian thought to himself, it seems that he really has to pay attention to a little bit of proportion in the future, and appropriately distance himself from the little girl, otherwise it will hurt the little girl and leave a touch of lovesickness.
He Li Tian and Sister Fangli have not avenged their revenge, and they will definitely join the army to suppress bandits in the future, which is what he should do the most.
The danger on the road to suppressing bandits is unknown, and I don't know when I will die in another country, in this case, it is really not appropriate to have more wisps of lovesickness.
"Bang...... Boom~" The mine suddenly shook.
"Run, there are people in the cave...... behind him The miners in the mine rushed out, and people crowded and ran desperately to the outside of the mine.
At first, everyone ran in an orderly manner, running out one after another.
However, as a few screams of exclamation came from afar in the mine, the miners who ran outside the mine instantly became a mess.
Li Tian vaguely saw several unlucky miners who tripped over the uneven road when they ran out.
However, the person behind the fallen man not only did not pull it, but stepped directly on the fallen person.
The man who fell to the ground also knew that if he could not get up, he would be trampled into flesh by the crowd of bee chrysalis, so he struggled desperately, which caused more people to trip.
For a while, these miners who were crowded at the entrance of the cave, fell to the ground, and lined up frantically crowded out, filling the entire mine entrance.
Although I don't know what happened exactly, this level of chaos really shocked Li Tian and Uncle Wang.
Li Tian was a little scared and thought: Fortunately, he and Uncle Wang came out first for a while, if this was a little later, it would be bad.
The reason why the entrance to the mine is so chaotic now is because the mine cavern has collapsed once.
That time buried a lot of miners in it.
Now it's shaking again, and there's a good chance that the mine will collapse again.
This caused the miners who were stuck inside to be extremely nervous. Desperately trying to squeeze it out early.
At this time, two miners who were squeezed in the middle had already used their knives in order to escape for their lives.
After cutting down a few people, they finally rushed out with a cry of pain and wails from the people around them.
The two miners also knew that they had done something wrong, and after leaving the mine, they left their mining tools and ran down the mountain.
There is only one way down the mine.
And Li Tian and Uncle Wang were not far from the two of them.
Li Tian felt that these two people were extremely hateful, and he wanted to run away when he killed someone.
When Li Tian hesitated to stop them.
Uncle Wang didn't hesitate, pulled Li Tian to the side, and got out of the way.
"Uncle Wang, they ......" Li Tian actually wanted to stop these two people.
Uncle Wang raised his hand and pointed: "Look! ”
Li Tian looked in the direction that Uncle Wang was pointing.
At the foot of the mountain, groups of officers and soldiers who were constantly patrolling rushed to hear the news, and they were already on their way up the mountain, and the two miners who had killed people and fled down were bound to meet those officers and soldiers head-on.
There have been several such incidents in the mine, and many prisoners have taken the opportunity to flee before, causing a lot of trouble to the surrounding villages.
In the event of an emergency like this, the mine has already made a preliminary plan, and once the situation is discovered, the officers and soldiers stationed on the periphery will not move, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the light and dark sentry posts and patrols in the mine will rush to the entrance of the mine as soon as possible.
Therefore, the two people who slashed other miners and wanted to escape would definitely not be able to escape in the face of the officers and soldiers who surrounded them in several directions.
Sure enough, after a while, the two miners who wanted to run down the mountain were caught.
"Everyone is honestly waiting outside the mine to ask, and no one will leave without permission!" The lead officer shouted when he came to the entrance of the mine.
It seems that before they find out what happened, Li Tian and Uncle Wang and the other miners can't easily leave here.
"Give me an orderly mine! Whoever squeezes it again will be sent directly to the prison under the mountain, and let him dig ore here for the rest of his life! Seeing the incomparably chaotic entrance to the mine, the leading officer shouted again.
The threat worked, and order was restored to the originally crowded entrance to the mine, and the miners lined up one by one.
Seeing this, the corner of the officer's mouth couldn't help but leak a smile, as if he was mocking these miners.
As the miners walked out of the mine, the officer began to ask what was going on inside the mine.
The first miners to come out only knew that the mine shook for a moment, and then they ran out with everyone.
Only the miners at the fork in the road knew that something was wrong with the platform.
The officer seemed to know that the platform area was the territory of the prisoners, and immediately searched for the prisoners among the many miners.
After some inquiry, everyone found out the reason.
It turned out that just when the cool breeze was blowing in the mine and everyone was about to withdraw from the mine, there was a team of condemned prisoners who didn't know what treasure they had found from the bottom.
When this treasure was brought to the platform, it directly caused the mine to shake, and then the lightning and thunder, ice and fire on the platform came out. directly burned the team that found the treasure alive.
When the officer heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, this is the appearance of a treasure, and the immortal array has been triggered~
