Chapter 115: Alliance
Han Ming and the old man crept outside, cautiously along the way, not daring to make too much noise.
Not too long later, Han Ming and the old miner arrived safely in the original cave, and after making sure that there were no dangerous people around, they crouched down in the waterhole next to them and drank to their heart's content.
After filling the bamboo tubes distributed by the horse thieves with water, Han Ming and the old man found a main mine road again, chose a sub-mine and drilled into it, and continued to hide inside, but the two cowardly people who were afraid of death had a companion.
"Old man Bai, why don't we go out all the time?" Han Ming asked in a low voice.
"Don't hide, where are you going to go, jumping out of a random person is something we can deal with? Who can we beat with an old arm and legs, and a thin arm and thin leg?" the old man said with his back against the wall of the mine, a little depressed.
"But although we have water now, we haven't eaten, so I'm afraid we won't be able to survive for long. We'll still have to dig up some ore and go to the horse thieves for some food. A look of distress appeared on Han Ming's face, and he weakly suggested.
After listening to Han Ming's words, the depressed expression on the old man's face became a little heavier, and he snorted and said, "You think I don't know! Old man, my stomach is rumbling now, and I know that I have to go out! But we still have the ability to protect ourselves! Go out and find death? Even if you really want to go out, you have to think about it carefully, and you have to find out what kind of perfect plan!"
"Yes, yes, you have to sum it up!" Han Ming nodded again and again.
At the same time, Han Ming's eyes were a little strange when he looked at this old man, this old man's approach was really a bit similar to him, he also cherished his life very much, and acted cautiously and unassumingly.
"Come on, we all counted, and we went out rashly and lost our lives in vain, but we regretted going there. The old man looked very depressed, and cursed himself for not being careful, otherwise how could he be caught by these horse thieves, and he was sent to this chaotic mine.
For half an hour, Han Ming and the old man didn't come up with any good solutions, so they could only stare at each other with big eyes.
"Alas, my old man is old, and his brain is a little dull, and it is normal that he can't think of any good solutions. But you little doll is young, and your brain is very good, why can't you think of any good way!" The old man's eyes squinted, and he looked at Han Ming with some dissatisfaction.
When Han Ming heard this old man's words, he couldn't help but scold, this old man was cautious and afraid of death, which was quite similar to him, but his skin was much thicker than his, and he couldn't think of a good way, but blamed him.
Looking at Han Ming, who lowered his head and said nothing, the old man stood up as soon as he stood up, and then said with a little depression: "Don't sit here, let's continue to sit down, I'm afraid we won't even be able to fart." Let's go, go out and see, it's still the same, you walk softer in front, and I'll help you listen in the back. ”
Seeing that the old man waved his sleeves, got up and walked straight towards the outside of the mine, Han Ming stood up neatly, moved his steps, and quickly followed the old man's footsteps.
Han Ming leaned against the wall of the mine and touched the front, while the old man tiptoed not far behind him, and the old man closed his eyes tightly and walked forward step by step.
The old man's eyes were closed, but he did not take a wrong step from beginning to end, and he did not fall, as if he had a third eye in addition to his closed eyes.
Seeing the old man's eyes closed, Han Ming suddenly became interested, and when he looked carefully, he found that the ears and earlobes of the old man surnamed Bai were constantly vibrating, which was very strange.
After thinking about it for a while, Han Ming was a little shocked in his heart, he had already roughly guessed the reason why the old man surnamed Bai was able to walk with his eyes closed, and this old man was constructing a traveling map in his mind with echoes.
Although Han Ming thought that his hearing was no worse than that of this old man surnamed Bai, he clearly knew that he could not do what the old man surnamed Bai did, and he could replace his eyes with his ears alone.
"The world is so big, there are countless strange people!Although my hearing is higher than his, but to achieve his level, I am afraid it will take decades of hard work!" Han Ming muttered a few words in his heart.
Han Ming glanced at the old man deeply, and then continued to turn his head and walk outside, and the old man had been following Han Ming not far away.
"Use me as a shield, but you think of it with me!" Han Ming silently expanded the detection range of his divine sense to the maximum, and carefully sensed the surroundings.
Han Ming was not stupid, he could see at a glance that this old man surnamed Bai was using himself, and it stands to reason that Han Ming was not the kind of person who was used by others for nothing.
Han Ming's divine sense could pass through dozens of zhang of stone walls to survey the surrounding situation, so he was not afraid of someone approaching him unnoticed, but he was afraid of being blocked in a mine.
In case he is really blocked, a dozen people are fine, and he can get out with a little trick, but if dozens or even hundreds of people block him, he is not sure that he will be able to get out safely. So Han Ming chose to follow this old man, in case he was really blocked, this cunning old man might be able to create some opportunity for him to get out safely.
"Isn't this old man's hearing too sharp! I haven't noticed the hundreds of people in front of me yet, and if I go a dozen feet further, I'm afraid I'll just happen to crash into those old miners' piles. Han Ming frowned, slowed down again, and the pace under his feet became lighter.
"Da, da, da. Three slight knocking sounds came into Han Ming's ears, Han Ming raised his eyebrows, then slowly stopped, and then turned his head to look at the old man behind him who was slowly tapping on the stone wall.
The old man waved his hand and motioned for Han Ming to go over, and Han Ming immediately retreated step by step, until he retreated to the old man's side before stopping.
"What's wrong with Old Man Bai, why did you ask me to stop. Han Ming looked puzzled and asked knowingly.
"I heard a lot of people ahead, almost a thousand! It's the old miners and the caravan guards and dart masters, if you go any further, you might be discovered! The old man surnamed Bai had already opened his eyes and said with some solemnity.
A look of horror appeared on Han Ming's face at the right time, and then he said with palpitations: "If it weren't for Old Man Bai's good hearing, I'm afraid I would have stepped into those old miners' piles! ”
"Hey, no, didn't we change the main mine, how could there be those dart masters in front of us!Shouldn't they be in another main mine!" Han Ming added with some confusion.
"Now you still don't understand! The main mine roads outside are connected! So that they can hit this one vein from another ore vein, but now it's a little strange, why did they stop?
The old man surnamed Bai frowned, and his expression was a little strange, because he didn't hear the sound of fighting, but only heard a few people arguing about something, and the others were discussing in a low voice.
The old man surnamed Bai was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed: "It's not good, someone is coming, let's go quickly and hide." ”
Without waiting for the words to finish, the old man surnamed Bai turned around and left, running towards a branch of ore veins, that flexible figure really made Han Ming speechless for a while, this old man looked at the twilight, but he escaped faster than ordinary martial arts masters.
Han Ming smiled slightly and quickly followed the figure of the old man, burrowing into a vein.
When Han Ming's figure disappeared into the ore vein, more than a dozen people appeared at a corner of the main mine road, and then walked to the place where Han Ming and the old man were standing in front of them in a few steps.
"It's so dangerous, I was almost found by them. The old man glanced at a dozen people in the distance through a gap in the ore, and said with some trepidation.
"Hey, how did these old miners get together with those dart masters, didn't they fight to the death before, how can they make peace now!" the old man surnamed Bai muttered to himself.
"Old man Bai, let's go inside, don't let people find out!" Han Ming said in a low voice.
"Yes, yes, go, go, don't get caught here. The old man nodded, and then tiptoed towards the back with Han Ming.
Later, Han Ming and the old man stayed in the mine for a whole day, and finally they were dizzy from hunger, and they really had no choice, so they came out of the mine to find some food to fill their stomachs, or dig some gold mines to find horse thieves in exchange for some food.
After coming out, he met a dart master, and then Han Ming and the old man learned that the new miners and the old miners had ceased fighting, and made an agreement to form an alliance to lead all the miners to mine the gold mines deep in the veins, and strive to mine more gold mines in exchange for enough food.
According to the rules of the alliance, no miner can use the mined gold ore to directly exchange food with horse thieves, and the mined gold ore must be handed over to the alliance, and then the alliance will exchange it for food, and then distribute food according to the number of gold mines handed in.
The alliance also stipulates that anyone who exchanges food without permission will be wiped out by the alliance, and the alliance also stipulates that no one is allowed to fight or loot other people's ore at will, otherwise the alliance will impose heavy fines.
Hearing this news, the old man surnamed Bai was shocked for a long time, and the blood that was killed the day before was like a river, and only a day passed, and the new and old miners made peace and formed an alliance together!
And although Han Ming's mouth was also wide open, with a look of disbelief, there was nothing shocked in his heart, because a day ago, his divine sense had detected part of the agreement between those dart guards and the old miners, but Han Ming was not sure whether this agreement was counted or not, so he followed the old man Bai to hide in the vein for a whole day, planning to see the situation first.
Now seeing that the dart master and the old miners in the cave were safe, and those old miners no longer looked at him and the old man surnamed Bai angrily, Han Ming believed that the agreement he had heard with his divine sense had taken effect, and the new and old miners in the entire vein had formed an alliance.
