Volume 1 Chapter 61 Fire Head Camp
"Lord Hui, it is the untouchable Li Tian, fortunately the adults remember."
Li Tian was a little calm on the surface, but he was extremely frightened in his heart.
According to the labor regulations that were originally sentenced, Li Tian and Uncle Wang should still be in the mine.
Even though Li Tian and Uncle Wang had collected a sufficient amount of ore in advance, they had not yet reached the day of freedom, so after collecting a sufficient amount of ore, they changed to another way of servitude.
At this time, the ore collected by Li Tian and Uncle Wang can be exchanged for the equivalent value of money and silver, just like those poor workers who take the initiative to go to the mine to mine, but they have less freedom than those poor workers.
Originally, as long as they waited until the end of the labor date, Li Tian and Uncle Wang could leave the mine and return to Houqi Town in a bright and bright manner, and they could also bring back a lot of money.
But who would have expected that the horse bandits would suddenly attack the town and rob the strategy, and then kill the mines.
The leader of the horse bandits was an immortal cultivator, and he even made a big deal against the other immortal cultivators who were sent, and killed two immortal cultivators one after another.
If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the horse bandits had exhausted his mana and was too confident in his immortal methods, he was careless and capsized in the gutter and was beheaded by Li Tian with a mysterious dagger.
It is estimated that if the leader of the horse bandits is allowed to refine and enjoy the elixir treasures of the other two immortal cultivators, now his cultivation will go further and his strength will increase greatly, and he doesn't know how many yellow flower girls will be harmed in the future, from this point of view, Li Tian can also be regarded as a meritorious person.
But all this, the town lord didn't know, Li Tian didn't want other outsiders to know about it out of the reason for protecting the mysterious dagger his father gave him.
Therefore, Li Tian's current situation is very delicate, to put it simply, he is now a fugitive, and now this fugitive is still planning to join the barracks, which is difficult not to remind people of a lot......
When the horse bandits robbed the town and attacked the mountain, everyone was in danger, including the people of the town lord's mansion, at that time, the town guards did not have so many troops to guard the entire Houqi town, and after the horse bandits broke through the town gate, the town guards directly gave up the streets and alleys, but just stuck to the town lord's mansion.
This did preserve the strength and successfully defended the town lord's mansion, but the people suffered a great disaster, many people were killed by the red-eyed horse bandits, and the fire set by the horse bandits burned a lot of houses, and many people had no choice but to sleep on the streets, but it was still winter, and the weather was very cold, so many people were frozen to death.
In fact, in essence, this is the responsibility of the town lord to protect the townspeople, although it is only a nominal responsibility.
Therefore, after the horse bandits attacked the town this time, the town lord's mansion and the money village set up a lot of resettlement and rescue places, all the townspeople who were injured in the horse bandits attack on the town can be treated for free, and all the dead people's families will also have money from the town lord's house to comfort, and those whose houses are damaged also have special temporary shelters.
For a time, the lord of the town gained the hearts of the people because of the horse bandits' attack on the town.
I have to mention the money village again, originally Li Tian thought that the horse bandits attacked the town, and the biggest loss should be the money village, this time it should be broken and weakened, but the cunning rabbit three holes, the money village is well versed in it, no one knows where the money village really stores a lot of money and jewelry, the horse bandits are only robbing the liquid money on the face of the various branches of the money village, for the money village that has a lot of business in several towns and even in the main city of Xisen City, the loss of this money can be described as a drop in the bucket.
Houqi Town is just a small town under Xisen City, and Qian Zhuang has long focused on Xisen City, so after experiencing the attack of horse bandits, Qian Zhuang can still release money to help the people, but I don't know what agreement the town owner and Qian Zhuang have reached, and what price to pay to make Qian Zhuang agree to help the people in a place that focuses on profit and forgets its roots.
……
Going back to Li Tian's side, the town lord brought the mine records and found out the relevant information about Li Tian, and when he found that Li Tian and Uncle Wang had already completed the mining of ore, the town lord couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Of course, what the town owner was surprised by was not Li Tian's ability to mine, but by the fact that Li Tian and Uncle Wang, the two guys from Tianxiang Restaurant, were able to grab enough ore in the hands of those vicious gangsters.
Of course, the town lord knows where the ore is rich in ore inside the mine, and of course he can't hide the fact that the death row prisoners occupy the rich ore area, but in fact, the town lord doesn't care about how the workers in the mine dig and how the death row prisoners distribute the ore.
As long as a sufficient amount of ore is handed in on time every day, it doesn't matter how to rob the mine.
It's just that this time, there are immortal cultivators who have mixed in with the death row prisoners and set up a pit to kill other immortal cultivators, which the town lord could never imagine.
"There are not many workers coming back from the mine this time, and it will not be easy for you to come back from there alive, even if you finish your labor and regain your freedom." The town lord glanced at Li Tian, and after a deep groan, he said this.
Others don't know the weight of this sentence, but Li Tian knows that it is impossible for a fugitive to serve in the military and join the barracks. Once Li Tian does not meet the requirements, then his eldest brother or his father can only be recruited in his family, which is unacceptable to Li Tian.
The town lord then asked Uncle Wang, and when he learned that Uncle Wang had been killed in the mine by horse bandits, the town lord sighed.
In the end, I don't know if it was because the town owner sympathized with Li Tian, or because the town owner sold Tianxiang Restaurant a face, or because Li Tian didn't know about other reasons, the town owner actually arranged for Li Tian to change the place for Li Tian before letting Li Tian leave.
……………………
In front of the Huotou camp, the soldiers who led the way sent Li Tian here and left by himself, leaving Li Tian alone at the entrance.
Li Tian never expected that he would be assigned to the Huotou Battalion, you know, for people who want to make meritorious contributions to the battlefield to fight, how torturous it is to be assigned to the Huotou Battalion, it can be said that in the Huotou Battalion, basically no enemy can be encountered, and the most serious task of the Huotou Battalion every day is to cook, cook, cook...... There are endless meals to cook every day.
As the saying goes, when marching to war, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and these grains and grasses need to be cooked by the fire head battalion, and then transformed into the driving force of the army to fight.
It can also be said that the war is fought for food.
Of course, the status and role of the Huotou Battalion is the top priority, but the soldiers of the Huotou Battalion are actually not very popular, although everyone will not say anything in the open, but everyone will have selfishness, and many people will tell each other why the Huotou Battalion does not need to fight bayonets when the war starts?
And all along, it was those who were not murderous, or who were timid and afraid of dragging their feet, who came to the Huotou camp to cook, so many soldiers more or less looked down on it.
Indeed, this is also a huge benefit of the Huotou Battalion, generally except for the entire army being surrounded and exterminated, the people in the Huotou Battalion can survive, of course, there is basically not much military pay in the Huotou Battalion, and there is no need to count on the cumulative promotion of military merits, which can be said to be both advantageous and disadvantageous.
