Volume 1 Dead Leaves Return to Dust Chapter 84 Waste Marks

"In those stone pits, there are evil things. ”

"Let me tell you this, it is Steward Liu who guards our stone field, he is a good person from the Li family, but I heard that the other stone fields are not the Li family sent people to guard and supervise, but their own stone quarry wants someone else to be the supervisor, do you think this is a strange thing?"

Speaking of this, the old mason's voice pressed down again, like a yin wind coming out of a crack in the stone.

"I heard that the guards of the other stone quarries are not human!"

"Not people? What's that?"

The old masonry shook his head, and was about to say something more, when he caught a glimpse of an overseer approaching this way, and hurriedly silenced him, and waved the hoe in his hand vigorously, and chiseled the gray-black earth and stone on the other side.

"You lazy bones, you are recruited to let you work, not to let you enjoy. ”

Ye Ku was listening to it, but the old masonry stopped talking halfway through his words, and there was a burst of scolding from behind him, and the cold handle of the knife poked his backbone.

He didn't bother to deal with this kind of person, and when he looked back, he thought that he would have to get by, but he didn't expect the overseer to look him up and down, snorted in disgust, pointed to the other side, and said: "Such a thin person is also sent here, this little arm and leg is weak, can he dig up this big pool of rotten stones? ”

This quarry is very large, it can be called a vast expanse of land, spanning two mountain screens, and the boundary of this quarry cannot be seen with the eyes of the withered leaves.

In order to quarry the flint, it is necessary to dig a stone well first, and only six stone wells have been dug out of the whole stone quarry, and the hard work of quarrying is divided into six batches, some people are responsible for mining, and some people are specially cleaned up the excavated waste rock, loaded and transported out of the stone well, and poured in a designated place.

There was far more than one overseer in a stone well. Ye Ku was sent to clean up the waste rocks, these waste stones were gray and black, piled up into a small mountain, and there were people who kept transporting spades and spades, and with a shout, they went up again, and they leaked down like a torrent, and inevitably some of them hit him.

The man smiled apologetically at Ye Ku, and then grabbed the shovel again, hurrying to bring more waste stone shovels.

Ye Ku looked at the gray-black waste stones piled up like a small mountain, and said in his heart: "With so many waste stones, let me clean them up alone? ”

He didn't know that the scale of this stone well was still small, and the flint produced was not much.

Just as he was bending down to pick up the shovel on the ground, another shovel of gray and black earth and stone fell like a scattered flower, and these waste stones naturally could not hurt him, and he was bounced away by an invisible force only three inches around him.

"Huh, that's ......."

On the ground, there were some twisted veins in a piece of gravel waste, which immediately attracted the attention of Ye Wei.

What kind of vision has what kind of insight, mortals still have the saying that "seeing mountains is not mountains, and seeing water is not water", not to mention the difference between immortals and mortals? The lines of these ghost paintings are inconspicuous in the eyes of ordinary people, but they can arouse the interest of monks.

He walked into his consciousness with earth, carefully examined the gray and black rubble that had been piled up like a hill, and found two pieces of rubble in it, the lines on which were either straight or curved, almost smoothed, and it would have been difficult to find unless Ye Wei had not deliberately searched for them.

"You've been standing here stupidly since you came over there, and you're against you, so if you can't do it too much, get out of here as soon as possible. ”

Ye Ku listened to the training, hurriedly loaded a cart of waste stones with a shovel, trotted out of the stone well, and came to the place where the waste stones were piled up.

There are more gray and black waste stones here, and the "hill" under the stone well is at most a small dirt bag compared to these, and he is trying to concoct it in the same way, using the earth to enter the divine consciousness, and before he can start to investigate, he feels a little strange.

These discarded stones are enveloped by the formation, and if someone uses their divine sense to probe or break the formation, they will definitely be known by the people who set up the formation.

After listening to the old mason's story, and seeing the incomprehensible lines on the waste stone, and now it is the formation that envelops the waste stone field, Ye Ku knew that it was not appropriate to act rashly at this time, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and pushed the cart down to the stone well.

"Boom!"

As soon as he went down, there was a rumbling sound, the earth was shaking, the gravel in the well crackled and fell, the quarryman was unstable, there was a loud noise, and some people were screaming.

There were no less than 100 people quarrying in this stone well, and when they saw the anger of this place, they rushed to the outside of the well like a desperate person, and their faces were full of fear.

"What's going on?"

Ye Ku had doubts in his heart, the crowd weaved a torrent in this narrow stone well, and people rushed out, he naturally would not be squeezed by a group of mortals, only in the middle position, with the big flow out of the stone well.

As soon as I got to the ground, I heard someone shouting loudly, maintaining the scene, "Don't panic, don't panic, it's not that you haven't encountered it, what to panic!"

Those experienced old masonry basically climbed out, and there were a few new faces, struggling to squeeze out of the stone well, some people were hit by the falling stones in the well and their heads were bleeding, and many people were hung with colors, just now it was too messy, each only cared about their own lives, and the people were rubbed by the sharp stone edge, and the blood was knocked out.

Soon, Ye Ku found the location of the old masonry who had spoken to him earlier in the panicked crowd, squeezed through the crowd, and came to him.

Xu Wei listened to Ye Ku's words of "can't eat" and felt some sympathy, as soon as the old masonry saw Ye Ku, he dragged him over, and saw that Ye Ku did not have a single wound on his body, and said in surprise: "People say that thin people are clever, you kid is really not bad, you didn't stumble a little." ”

"Luck, big brother, what happened just now?"

The old masonry put his arm around Ye Ku's shoulders, hugged him to a place where there were few people, and said, "Didn't I tell you just now, you were assigned to our stone field, and that was your luck." ”

"If you have been here for a while, you will know that the sound of the moment is not unusual, but the root of the shaking of the earth is not in our stone field, but in the ......" The old masonry pointed to the deeper part of Quping Mountain and stopped his words.

Ye Ku was awe-inspiring in his heart, he had seen the depth of the stone well, just that shaking, no matter how fast you run with your legs, more than a hundred people, no matter how you say it, you have to bury a few people below.

"Three more died, and it's been a bad year. Not far away, a man who looked like the head of the overseer wiped a handful of lime from his face, spat on the ground, and scolded.

Seeing that the kid in front of him seemed to be scared stupidly, the old masonry raised his big hand and slapped Ye Ku's chest, and said, "What are you kidding, follow me, and keep it every time so that you can save this little life." ”

A group of quarrying men were shocked, more or less bright or dark, congratulating themselves on their sharp legs and feet and picking up this life.

Being slapped by this, Ye Ku nodded awkwardly, and asked again: "Fortunately, I was sent over to clean up those waste stones just now, and no one has seen anyone take them away, so I won't have to fill this stone well back in the future, right?"

As if amused by Ye Ku's whimsical idea, the old masonry glanced at the place where the waste stone was piled up, and sneered: "I just said that you kid is clever, you are full of food to fill him back, I don't know what those people do with these waste stones, once the day before yesterday I saw a pile of old high, and when I came back overnight, they were all gone, whatever, what do we worry about." ”

"Shut up!"

The man who looked like the foreman was in a terrible mood, and the clouds were overcast, and there was a burst of shouts, like a thunderclap, and the crowd that had been noisy a moment ago suddenly quieted down.

"Now that I've shaken, I'll go down the well and keep digging. ”

"What if there is another earthquake later?"

"Yes, I didn't say there were any dangers when I first came. ”

"That is, if I knew that I would be buried alive, I would not gamble my life for money. ”

Some of the quarrymen who had arrived yesterday were complaining, and the older quarrymen were expressionless, as if they were almost numb to the reaction of the newcomers.

The head of the overseer naturally knew that a group of newcomers had only come yesterday, and he seemed to have expected that someone would say this, so he sneered and slapped his palm, and shouted: "The Li family took the money to buy your cheap life, don't toast Lao Tzu one by one and don't eat and drink!"

Not far away, a mountain rock the size of a grinding disc exploded with a bang, the gravel splashed, and the burst stone chips grazed the wounds of some men, and they gasped in pain.

Many of the newcomers were full of anger, but they didn't dare to vent, if that slap hit them, how could they die?

"Forget it, don't fight with them, just take the money and leave after working for a long time. There were quite a few old quarrymen who spoke to persuade him.

If you dare to be angry, you dare not speak, and you can't fight if you say it.

Ye Ku listened to the words of the old masonry beside him, but his mind was not here, but surrounded by the stone field woods, which was completely different from the noise beside him.

It was still early in the morning, and the red sun was hidden by the mountain screen, and its true face could not be seen.

There was a morning breeze through the forest, through the gap between the dense branches and leaves, and moaned lowly, as if there were ghosts crying and wailing, perhaps the wind was too light, and could not blow away the thin layer of morning mist in the forest, and the mist gently swirled, like a white silk.

The tree was shaking, and it was gently shaken by something, and it nodded like a phoenix.

This stone well was guarded all around, either in the forest or around the stone well, with knives and armor, and they were indifferent to what was happening in the stone well, and perhaps only when a quarryman tried to escape, the knife would be unsheathed.

Suddenly, the tree shook even more, as if a ghost was tearing at it, shaking off countless leaves.

A flock of birds flew in the forest, and a human voice was startled,

"The monster is coming! The monster is coming!!"
