Chapter 16: New Discoveries
According to Zhang Wanguan's intentions, Steward Li asked everyone to rest outside the mine, and he went to the city to find someone to come and have a look. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Xu Tian roughly estimated that there were more than a hundred miners on the mine, not to mention more than a hundred, who were extremely happy about the addition of three copper coins, and praised the mine owner and said that he was all kinds of good.
Yu Nan was a little unhappy when he heard this, and he said loudly to Xu Tian: "Brother Xu, today's incident is really thanks to you~ Come out and say a few words!"
All eyes gathered, as if they now knew who was helping them.
Xu Tian smiled embarrassedly: "It's okay, everyone can work now, I was new yesterday, and I need everyone to take care of it." ”
The miners looked at each other, although this person helped them, but if it weren't for Steward Li and the other mine leaders today, they didn't know what the consequences would be.
Therefore, no one wants to call for it, and always thinks that it is better to stay away from this person in the future, so as not to have a next time, but it is difficult to say.
Everyone's reaction was a little unexpected by Yu Nan, he thought that everyone would cheer for Xu Tian, but he didn't expect it to be cold, and everyone even spoke quietly.
Xu Tian didn't feel anything, because few people were willing to approach him from the beginning to the end, and it was only after coming here that he changed a little.
Zhang Wanguan had already returned to his residence, Chen Liu was tied with a thick rope by Zhang Sandao, and his mouth was blocked halfway, because he kept explaining to himself, and Zhang Wanguan had a headache.
"Three knives, take the things out of his mouth!" Zhang Wanguan sat on a high chair, picked up the white jade cup on the table, and slowly shook the tea in the cup.
"Master Zhang, Chen Liu is wronged! It was Steward Li who helped that kid frame me together! Master Zhang, you must believe me!" Chen Liu burst into tears.
Zhang Wanguan's methods, Chen Liu has seen it, not long ago, a subordinate was crippled in two arms because he broke a porcelain bowl and threw it into the swamp under the mine......
"That's it, that's it! That's the end of today's business, you can give me a little peace in the future! Don't think I don't know what you're doing behind my back!" Zhang Wanguan said impatiently.
Zhang Sandao was shocked: That's it... Is Chen Liu all right......?
Chen Liu immediately became happy when he heard it: "Yes, yes, as long as you still use Chen Liu, Master Zhang, Chen Liu will definitely do things well in the future and keep to himself!"
"Sandao, you go and help Steward Li investigate the cause of the explosion in the mine, and casually investigate the identity of the miner today. "Zhang Wanguan's name as a rich man is not for nothing, he thinks about it with his toes, and he knows that there is something wrong with today's affairs.
Zhang Sandao answered and hurriedly went out.
"Master Zhang, I ......" Chen Liu looked at Zhang Wanguan gratefully.
"Needless to say, today's incident is also the cause of your own planting, you don't bully Li Guan and them on weekdays......" Zhang Wanguan said playfully, but his eyes were full of fierceness.
"Master Zhang......! I won't dare to do it again!...... Chen Liu was confused before," Chen Liu replied worriedly.
"It's good to know it's wrong, get up, there's still something to tell you to do~" Zhang Wanguan said.
Chen Liu hurriedly stood up, walked to Zhang Wanguan, lowered his head and pricked up his ears.
Zhang Wanguan whispered a few words, and after Chen Liu listened, his obscene and sinister smile appeared on his face again, and he nodded and left.
At this time, on the side of the mine, Steward Li had already invited a few people from Beicheng City.
"Everyone dispersed, don't disturb their view!" Steward Li waved his hand at the crowd, motioning for them to step back.
Then he and the men went into the mine, and in a few minutes they came out of the mine.
"You, come here, we have something to ask you. Steward Li pointed at Xu Tian and said.
"Steward Li, my name is Xu Tian, what questions do you have?" Xu Tian stepped forward.
"Have you ever started a fire in the mine?" asked Steward Lee.
Xu Tian's brain spun around quickly, thinking that it had something to do with fire, so he replied: "Well, it's too cold at night to sleep." ”
"Steward Li, that's right, the stone mine is not like other mines, there are some stone phosphorus on the walls of the cave in the stone mine, and the stone phosphorus has encountered fire, and this is the reason for the explosion!" said one of the tall and thin men.
"Shi Phosphorus, can you take me to see it, what does it look like?" Xu Tian had heard of such a thing as Shi Phosphorus for the first time, and it was really amazing that it could produce such a big explosion when it encountered fire.
"Okay, let's go to another mine. The tall and thin man led Xu Tian and the others into a nearby mine.
The man searched around the cave wall, then pointed to the white droplet-shaped thing on the cave wall and said, "This is called stone phosphorus, I can make it for you, and you will understand." ”
As he spoke, the man took out a little of this thing called stone phosphorus from the cave wall with his hand, and gently squeezed it in his hand, and the stone phosphorus turned into white powder, and then the man walked to the entrance of the cave, sprinkled the powder on the ground, and took fire from another person, and gently approached the white powder.
As a result, as soon as the powder touched the tinder, there was an immediate spark, accompanied by a small popping sound, and the smell was the same choking smell as before.
"In this way, you will understand, as long as there is no fire, there is no danger to stone phosphorus, Steward Li, the reason has been found, let's go back to the city first. "The tone in which the man spoke was very comfortable.
"Okay, okay, then I won't send it, a few of you first, and I'll send someone to send you the silver coins later. Steward Li said.
After these people left, Steward Li pulled Xu Tian and walked a few steps into the mine: "Xu Tian, you must not say anything about the fire, Chen Liu is a popular person next to the mine owner, we have offended him today, but we are the head of the mine, he doesn't dare to do anything to us, but you, you have to be more careful in the future, you can tell me if there is anything first." ”
"Thank you, Steward Li, for the reminder. Xu Tian had a very good impression of this Steward Li, unlike Chen Liu, who was disgusted at first sight.
Then, the two of them came out of the mine, and Steward Li said to all the miners on the mine: "I have already invited someone to investigate, you just need to be careful in mining, there is no danger, and there is no fireworks in the mine in the future." ”
When everyone heard that Steward Li said that there was no danger, they calmed down and went into their mines one after another.
Xu Tian, Yu Nan, and Han Yue found a new mine cave.
"Brother Xu, do you think this mine is really safe? The explosion in the morning, we almost ......"
Yu Nan was still a little scared when she thought of the morning.
Han Yue said: "Didn't Steward Li say that it was okay, maybe it was just an accident in the morning, let's be careful in the future." ”
Xu Tian didn't speak, he looked at the cave wall, as if he was looking for something.
Yu Nan also looked at the cave wall and asked strangely, "Brother Xu, what are you looking at?"
"You help me get this white thing off the cave wall!" Xu Tian said, pointing to the stone phosphorus on the cave wall.
"What do you want this for?" Where do you get it down and put it on?" Yu Nan didn't know what this thing was, but Xu Tian said yes, so of course he had to get it.
Xu Tian used his spiritual power to look for it in the storage ring, and there were a few small porcelain bottles, Xu Tian quietly took them out, but this porcelain bottle seemed to contain something, and it was quite weighty in his hand.
"Brother Xu, are you ...... Where did the bottle come from?" Yu Nan asked in surprise as he looked at the bottle that suddenly appeared in Xu Tian's hand.
"Hehe~ You don't care about it, wait a while, I'll take out the contents of the bottle. Xu Tian said with a smile.
Yu Nan looked at Han Yue with a puzzled gaze, and Han Yue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know where Xu Tian got the bottle from.
Xu Tian carefully poured the contents of the porcelain vase into his hand, it was a dark blue crystal the size of a little finger, and it also exuded a weak light, Xu Tian thought about it carefully, as if he had heard the master say this thing.
The light on Xu Tian's hand immediately attracted the attention of Yu Nan and Han Yue, and the two looked at the things in Xu Tian's hand curiously, looking very precious.
"Brother Xu, what kind of gem is this, it's so beautiful!" Han Yue's eyes showed love.
"Uh...... Then I'll give you one!" Xu Tian had already remembered that this was the demon pill that the master had taken from the Frost Wolf Demon before he taught himself to refine the medicine.
Seeing that Xu Tian gave such a "baby" thing to Han Yue, Yu Nan grabbed Xu Tian's sleeve and took two steps to the side: "Why did you give my sister something?!"
"I think she wants to do it...... It's not good if you don't give it to her......" Xu Tian was at a loss.
"I said, you are not allowed to beat my sister's idea!You say, do you have a crush on my sister?!" Yu Nan asked indignantly.
"I ...... You misunderstood!" Xu Tian was a little speechless.
"You haven't explained what happened in the morning!" Yu Nan continued to ask.
"Morning ...... I just remembered a friend!" Xu Tian replied.
"Male or female?" Yu Nan continued to ask.
"Female ......" As soon as Xu Tian said it, he felt that his face was a little hot.
Yu Nan saw Xu Tian's face flushing, so he was relieved: "If you have a sweetheart, then I'll rest assured! I'll get you that thing, give me the bottle." ”
Xu Tian was surprised, and thought: Am I blushing? I have a sweetheart? Tang Yu? When did it happen......
Xu Tian was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses until Yu Nan took away a porcelain vase in his hand.
Quietly took back the Demon Pill of the Frost Wolf Demon to the ring, and then also picked up the stone phosphorus on the cave wall.
Today, the man lit the stone phosphorus powder and gave him a new idea, since the stone phosphorus powder will explode when it encounters fire, what about using my fire magic? Will it make my magic more powerful? Wait and collect some, he will go to the outside interview tonight to try!
