Well?

The giant was dozing off, his body was shaking, and just before he fell to the ground, suddenly a spirit came to his senses, and in order to prevent himself from falling to the ground, he reached out to stop the collapse of his body, but his big hand that should have been on the ground did not press on the ground, as if there was something under his hand, and it was still squirming.

Dahan was surprised in his heart, quickly took his arm away, and looked at it, it turned out to be a small villain, the other party's whole body was lying on the ground, panting heavily, and looking carefully, the person's body had already entered the ground.

The little villain was Wang Lung, he just wanted to wake up the big man to ask about mining, but he didn't expect the big man to shake his body in his sleep as if he was going to smash himself, which scared Wang Lung half to death.

In the giant tribe, Wang Lung didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he had to turn around and flee, hoping that the big man would escape from the range of the opponent's fall before he fell, which was also considered Wang Lung's bad luck, if it was on other planets, it would not be so embarrassed, but unfortunately this is Glees Star, gravity is several times higher than the earth, and Wang Lung's speed is completely suppressed.

Dahan did not fall to the ground, but supported his body with his arm, as the saying goes, Fu Wushuang is not a single line, the position where the big man's arm fell, just fell on the route of Wang Lung's escape, at that time Wang Lung just wanted to escape, he didn't pay attention to the direction where the big man's arm fell, and was innocently slapped to the ground by the big man.

Fortunately, Wang Lung's body was strong enough, even if he was pressed into the ground by Dahan for three points, he still didn't suffer any injuries, but at the beginning, most of the weight of Dahan's entire body was concentrated on his arms, and that force made Wang Lung's life worse than death.

Come to think of it, if the big man's arm stayed for a while, Wang Lung would faint even if he was not injured.

It took a long time for Wang Lung to recover and turn over and stand up. The eyes looked at each other helplessly, who can be blamed for this, no one is to blame for this matter, I can only blame Wang Long for being too unlucky, this kind of thing can be encountered.

"Little one, you're fine, are you?" the big man saw Wang Lung stand up. Asked with concern.

Wang Lung shook his head and said, "It's okay, fortunately you stopped in time, otherwise, you will be pressed into the soil by you if you don't die." ”

The big man smiled, scratched his scalp honestly and said: "You are in good health, last time I accidentally pressed a grits chinchilla, but I didn't expect to be slapped into meat paste by me before I made any effort." ”

Hearing the other party compliment himself like this, Wang Lung rolled his eyes. How can anyone compare people to mice, not to mention, more than an hour ago, he had just laboriously killed a grits chinchilla, and in the big man's mouth, the grits chinchilla seemed to be insignificant.

In this regard, Wang Lung could only change the topic with an embarrassed smile: "Are you Luther who is responsible for recruiting miners?"

The big man nodded and said, "I'm Luther, yes." Who are you? Who let you in, how could they let you in. Our tribe has not kept outsiders for decades, you ......"

Before the other party could finish speaking, Wang Lung hurriedly interrupted, Luthor turned out to be a good person, a series of questions, whether Wang Lung remembered it or not. I was going to ask them all in one go, but if Wang Lung didn't stop the other party, I didn't know when Luthor would say it.

"The elder asked me to come to you and let me join the miner team and go mining with you. ”

Hear Wang Lung's explanation. Luthor didn't react for a while, and after a long time, Luthor asked, "Did the elder really ask you to come?"

"Credentials?" Wang Lung shook his head and continued: "No, why don't you go and ask the elder, it was the elder who told me your name, and besides, I'm just here to mine, is it necessary to provide the elder credentials?"

Luthor smiled and said, "No, that's right, I don't have to ask the elder, but I can't figure it out, with your little arms and legs, why did the elder let you come to mine?"

"What's the matter?, there are still conditions for mining?" asked Wang Lung puzzled.

Luthor shook his head and said, "Not really, but you're too small, and your pickaxe is several times taller than yours, can you wield it?"

Wang Lung smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have my own tools, and I can't use your tools easily." ”

Luthor nodded a little and said, "In that case, leave your name, and I will form a group for you, and come here in three days to gather and set off together." ”

According to Luther, Wang Lung told the other party his name along with the amount of ore to be mined and the items to be exchanged, but after Lucer heard the conditions listed by the elder to Wang Lung, he looked at Wang Lung like a monster.

"What, what's the problem?" asked Wang Lung, puzzled.

"Ten pieces of ore, fifty catties of incense buds, is this the exchange condition that the elder gave you?"

Wang Lung nodded and said, "Yes, isn't it troublesome to mine ore?" I don't think ten ores should be much, right?"

Luthor smiled bitterly and said: "Little guy, I think you are too naïve, let alone ten pieces of ore, even if you work day and night in the mine, it is considered luck to be able to mine one piece within a year, besides, you can only work for half a year, if everyone is like you, open your mouth and close your mouth to say ten yuan, my recruitment office will not be so deserted." ”

Faced with Wang Lung's puzzled expression, Luthor slowly explained the reason.

It turns out that there is only one mining area on the planet Gles, but don't underestimate this mining area, its area occupies half of the entire planet, and its area is so large that Wang Lung can't believe it for a while.

The history of mining can no longer be traced, but Wang Lung knows that it will definitely not exceed a million years, even if the mining area is large, there will always be a day when it will be exhausted, the original mining area has a very considerable number of ores, each giant tribe has a year of mining rights, no matter how much ore is dug in the mining area, after a year, the mining rights must be handed over to other tribes, if you want to dig again, you can only wait a hundred years later, because there are a hundred giant tribes on the planet of Grise.

In the past, mining in the mining area was a very good job, digging a piece of ore in exchange for a certain ration for the family, and at the end of the year, the pay was quite considerable, more cost-effective than hunting, and there was no risk.

But with the depletion of the mines, the production of ore in the mines has plummeted in the last tens of thousands of years, and each tribe has to send a thousand strong laborers to mine during the mining season, but the harvest is pitiful, according to Luther. The last time their tribe mined, a thousand miners only mined less than 100 ores a year, and ninety percent of the miners did not have any income.

Working for a year without income is a very sad thing for a family. After all, the people who go to mine are strong laborers.

Therefore, the last few recruitment of miners has been very embarrassing for Luthor or others, not that no one has taken the initiative to sign up, compared to the huge number of a thousand miners, the number of active applicants is negligible, which is the reason why the recruitment office that Wang Lung saw was very deserted.

There is no free lunch in the world, and Wang Lung once thought that giants did not have the tools to fit together, and it was difficult to mine. His sword was extremely sharp, and his mining speed was at least a great advantage over them, but now after listening to Luthor's statement, Wang Lung realized that his previous ideas were too simple.

A thousand strong laborers toiled for a year to harvest up to a hundred ores, which was the record of a hundred years ago, and now a hundred years later, for a mine that has been depleted. How much ore can be counted on to produce is probably not as good as it was a hundred years ago. Even if his sword is sharp, and the mining speed is far ten times faster than that of the giant, what is the use?

According to the harvest a hundred years ago, with the benefit of the sword, he would dig for half a year at most, and the harvest would be only five ores. This is the normal harvest ratio, and it is even possible to have less than that.

I need at least fifty catties of Fudi buds, and I may not be able to raise them after working hard for half a year, but what can I do without mining, there are very few jobs suitable for me in the giant tribe. On the way to the Great Rift Valley, Gaunt had already said that it was a dead end, and compared to his own life, at least there was a glimmer of hope for mining.

No wonder the elders agreed to mine themselves, and what difference was there between going to a depleted mine to find ten pieces of ore and looking for a needle in a haystack, but it was clear from Luthor's words that the ore was so important to the giants that it would even take a thousand strong men at any cost, even if nothing was found, and even if a thousand families were left to suffer a year of hunger and cold.

Just now Luthor once mentioned that there are still three days before the recruitment ends, and Wang Lung has only more than 20 people who have taken the initiative to sign up so far, even if there are still people who take the initiative to mine in the next few days, according to Luthor estimates, there should be no more than 50 people.

Mining is a must go, even if no one takes the initiative to sign up, a thousand places still have to be gathered, as early as thousands of years ago, their tribe has encountered this situation, to the most reluctant, can only be decided by drawing lots, the selected person can only go, can not refuse, unless he wants to defect from the tribe, take the whole family to wander in the wild, no one will do that kind of stupid thing.

"In that case, I'll come back in three days. After the most difficult ideological struggle, Wang Lung decided to try his luck in the mining area, the Great Rift Valley was too dangerous.

Luthor nodded and said, "Okay, but you are an outsider, our tribe does not have extra rooms for you to live in, you go to the guard room next to the elder's hall to have a look, I think the elders have already explained to them." ”

Wang Lung thanked him, and after bidding farewell to Luther, he turned around and walked towards the Hall of Elders.

While chatting with Luther, Wang Lung wanted to see what the ore he was going to dig looked like, but he was afraid that after entering the mining area, he would know nothing, and even if he did, he would not know it, and he would die unjustly.

It's a pity that Luthor doesn't have ore in his hands, all the ore in the tribe is in the hands of the elders, and even if others have ore in their hands, most of them are tightly covered and refuse to show it easily.

Luthor told Wang Lung that when they entered the mine, they would divide the group into groups, and in each group, the leader of the group would know the ore and act together with the miners in the same group, and there would never be a brush with the ore.

Since he couldn't see the appearance of the ore, and Luthor had already made it clear, Wang Lung didn't insist anymore.

As Luthor said, when Wang Lung came to the guardhouse, the guards who were resting inside had already received orders from the elders that Wang Lung could rest in the guardhouse for the next few days.

After thanking the guard, Wang Lung went to a huge bed and sat down cross-legged, he had no intention of visiting the tribe, the elder let him live in the guard's room, in addition to arranging a place for him to live, another purpose was to let the guards here keep an eye on Wang Lung by the way.

Any tribe suddenly has a person from an alien planet, no matter what his purpose, as long as he is in the tribe for a day, he must be prepared to be monitored, Wang Lung's purpose is very simple, it is for Volde's bud, although I don't know if Lu Dao can collect enough Volde's bud this time, but he doesn't want to cause trouble.

Three days passed quickly, and during these three days, Wang Lung didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the guard room and meditated and cultivated, he didn't want the elders of the tribe to misunderstand him.

When Wang Lung came to the recruitment office again, there were already a lot of people gathered here, limited to the height of the problem, Wang Lung really couldn't tell how many people there were, but from the noisy noise, he could hear some, at least tens of thousands.

Carefully shuttling through the cracks, and finally squeezed to the front of the recruitment office, at this time the recruitment office has been surrounded by many giants, although there is an empty space, but in the recruitment office, the number of people who take the initiative to sign up for mining is really small and pitiful, at a glance, Wang Lung roughly counted, it was less than fifty people.

Seeing Wang Lung squeezing over, Luthor nodded at him, beckoned Wang Lung to come closer, and stretched out his hand to point to an open space, letting Wang Lung go first.

After Wang Lung stood up according to Luther's instructions, seeing that Luthor no longer paid attention to himself, Wang Lung did not ask, according to his estimation, the next step must be to draw lots to decide who people will go to the mining area.

After waiting for about half an hour, someone in the crowd said that the elder was coming, and the noisy crowd gradually stopped, and everyone consciously gave way to a passage, and when they saw the appearance of the person who came, Wang Lung found that it was the elder who agreed to go to mining by himself.

The elder walked to the front of the recruitment office, looked at the dozens of people who had taken the initiative to sign up, and then turned back and spoke slowly to everyone.

"I won't say much about the words of relief, I think everyone understands that the mining right once in a hundred years, our tribe will not give up, as before, the only child in the family does not have to go, the lonely old man does not go, the women do not go, the young children do not go, and then start the lottery, wait for me to read the name, give you half a day, settle everything at home, set off on time in the afternoon, and strive to enter the mining area before dark.
