Chapter 3 - Miners
Mu Yiping said: "His name is Lin Yang, he is a fisherman, and his family lives thousands of miles away, on an island called Dongsongguo.
I've heard of this country, it's far away from our citrine country.
One day, while their fishing boat was fishing at sea, a storm overturned their fishing boat.
After that, the young man was washed up on our island.
It is also strange to say, if his hometown is in the territory of Dongsong Country, it is thousands of miles away from us, to say the least.
Well, it will take at least a few months for him to drift to us at sea.
After being immersed in the sea water for such a long time, even if he was not drowned, I don't know how he escaped the bite of those fish, beasts, insects and shrimps in the sea.
Under normal circumstances, Mo said that he was a dying person who had no power to resist.
Even if it is a living person, if it encounters some fierce fish and beasts, it will be torn to the point that only a push of bones remains.
It can only be said that this young man is really lucky to be alive after suffering such a catastrophe.
Two days ago, the clan doctor also examined this person's body, and there were several wounds that were very serious, and it stands to reason that suffering from this injury should be certain death.
However, this man miraculously did not die.
The patriarch also knew about this, and said that if this person did not wake up in ten days, he would throw him into the sea, for fear that this person would be ominous and bring disaster to our people.
However, just this morning, this person woke up, which is really fateful. ”
Mu Yiping put the chopped firewood together, and then continued: "Today I brought him two bowls of rice porridge and an egg, and he devoured them all.
After two days, when his body recovers, he will stew a chicken to replenish his body, and the young man's body will recover quickly.
No, I just woke up in the morning, and now it's just dinner time, and this person is already able to walk around the ground.
The young man's body looked like it was made of steel, and it looked like he would be healed in a few days. ”
Mu Yan said: "Dad, this fisherman named Lin Yang is very young, how old is he?"
Mu Yiping smiled slightly, and said: "I have asked, he is indeed not big, he just turned fourteen years old when he capsized the boat, only two years older than you, but he is quite tall, like an adult." ”
Mu Yan's face flushed with an imperceptible flush, and he said in a low voice, "Dad, how old is he compared to me?"
Mu Yiping laughed, and then said, "By the way, I have already reported the awakening of this person to the patriarch.
The patriarch said that as long as this person is not a bad person, it is okay not to bring harm to our clan.
In the end, however, the patriarch told me something. ”
Mu Yan turned his face to Mu Yiping a little strangely and asked, "Dad, what did the patriarch tell you?"
Mu Yiping stood up, stacked the bundled firewood on the firewood stack on the side, and wiped the sweat off his face with the towel on his shoulder.
Straightened up, sighed and said: "It's not about our family's miners this year, the patriarch said that we saved a person, and this person is young and strong, he intends to let this person go to the mine with a place." ”
After hearing this, Mu Yan showed an anxious look on his face, and said, "Dad, have you promised the patriarch?
Mu Yiping shook his head and said: "I didn't agree, there are people who die every year in the mine, and if they don't die of exhaustion, they will be crippled, and few of them can come back alive."
Although we saved him, if we did so, wouldn't we hurt him again?"
When Mu Yan heard his father's words, the anxious expression on his face disappeared and a smile was revealed.
Mu Yiping paused for a moment, sighed and continued: "Alas, this year, our clan will issue three miner quotas, and now there are no young and middle-aged people in the clan.
There are only a dozen eligible men left, and I always have a feeling that this year's miners are going to fall into my house again!
Although I am almost fifty years old, I have not exceeded the age of a miner, and I am not afraid of being a miner, I am most worried about you.
Your mother died early, and both of your older brothers went to work as miners.
Your eldest brother has been gone for six years, and it stands to reason that he should have come back a long time ago, but there has been no news yet.
Your second brother went to the mine the year before last, and it has been more than two years, and he will be back in a few months.
However, your second brother's body is not as strong as your eldest brother, and the mine is relatively poor, I really don't know what happened to my two babies?"
When Mu Yiping said this, his eyes flashed with crystal tears.
"Let's talk about this in a few days, Mu Yan! It's not early, let's go back to the room to rest after dinner!"
Thinking of his two sons, Mu Yiping's sadness was evoked again.
I know that the boss is more than lucky, and most of them are gone.
But I always hope in my heart that God will open his eyes and send his child back.
Erwazi has been to the mine for more than two years, and if she can't come back this year.
I'm afraid....
Mu Yiping didn't want to think about it anymore, and decided to go to the mine by himself the year before last.
But when he was leaving, the second boy actually put his own food in the ** and slept for a whole day.
After waking up, the big boat that picked up the miners had already left with the second child.
After Mu Yiping saw his daughter enter the room, he couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes anymore, and stood alone in the courtyard in a daze.
Tears fell to the ground.
Although Mu Yan is not very old, he also knows about the miners, and every time he sees his father's sad appearance, he hides in his room obediently.
Over the years, my father secretly shed tears when he thought of his eldest brother and second brother, and he didn't want to see it when he cried.
In fact, Mu Yan is also looking forward to the fact that the eldest brother and the second brother can return safely, as long as people can come back, it is better than anything else.
.......
Tsing Yi Sect is an immortal cultivation sect in the Huangjing Kingdom, and it has a lot of influence in the Huangjing Kingdom.
Its sphere of influence occupies almost half of the territory of the Yellow Crystal Kingdom, and a radius of tens of thousands of miles is within its jurisdiction.
The realm of mortals is nominally, and the immortal cultivation world is not allowed to interfere, nor can it kill ordinary mortals casually.
However, behind these mortal countries in the Tianyi Continent, there are shadows of immortal cultivation sects.
And in the eyes of immortal cultivators, those ordinary mortals are simply like ants, as long as they don't do anything to exterminate humanity and slaughter the city, who cares about the life and death of some mortals.
The force behind the capital of Huangjing Kingdom is this Immortal Cultivation Sect called Tsing Yi Gate.
Tsing Yi Gate controls several spirit stone veins in the Citrine country, and mining these veins requires a large number of mortal miners every year.
Due to the harsh conditions of the mines, which are dark and damp, it doesn't take long for many people to get sick.
Those who are strong may be able to survive, but those who are thin and weak will lose their lives if they get sick.
As a result, a large number of miners die every year.
After three years of miners' labor, less than one in ten were able to survive to the end and come back alive.
In order to fill the dead miners, these veins are replenished with a large number of mortal miners every year.
"Knock! knock!"
There was a knock at the door.
Lin Yang hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door.
At this moment, Lin Yang has been awake for three days, and there is no problem walking on the ground.
It's just that his right leg is very heavy, and he walks with a little lameness, as if he was born with a disability.
The door opened, and outside stood a young girl, handsome, though plainly dressed.
However, she has reached the age of development, and her well-proportioned figure has shown the beauty of a girl.
This girl is Mu Yan, after Mu Yan saw Lin Yang, her face was a little hot, and she was also a little nervous, and paused.
opened his mouth and said, "My name is Mu Yan, and you have seen my father." ”
After Lin Yang saw Mu Yan, he also knew about his daughter from Mu Yiping's mouth.
Today is also the first time I saw Mu Yan, and I replied a little shyly: "My name is Lin Yang, I heard Uncle Mu say that it was your father and daughter who saved me, thank you Miss Mu for saving my life." ”
Lin Yang also didn't know how to say it, it was the first time he had spoken so closely to a girl.
Learn to look like an adult, and salute Mu Yan with a fist.
Mu Yan was amused when he saw Lin Yang's expression, and he was shy, and asked a little mysteriously: "Are the injuries on your body healed, can you walk?"
Lin Yang replied in surprise: "The injuries on my body are much better, and I can already walk on the ground." ”
Mu Yan lowered his voice again and said, "You are a fisherman who can row, wait for a few days to get better, I will prepare some food for you, you can leave here quickly, it's not me who drives you ........away."
Mu Yan told Lin Yang about the arrest of miners in Tsing Yi Gate every year, and sent the patriarch to the mines of Tsing Yi Gate as a miner.
Lin Yang also heard of the cultivation of immortals for the first time, immortal cultivators can use spells, they can go to the sky, they can enter the ground, they can breathe fire, they can spit water, etc., anyway, they are very unfathomable.
Those who went to the mine barely returned, and most of the miners died on the mine.
The news that Mu Yan told him made Lin Yang a little overwhelmed.
After all, Lin Yang was only a fourteen-year-old child, and he had never left Chiyan Island since he was born.
Now that a person is drifting in a foreign land, he doesn't know what to do when he encounters these things?
