Chapter 22: The Helper
It happened that an overseer was passing by, and when he saw this scene, he asked Gao Shiping with a smile: "Uncle Shi, who is this? Yue Qianchou tilted his head to the side disapplauded, as if he hadn't heard.
Gao Shiping's face sank, and he shouted to the supervisor: "Don't be rude, this is your Uncle Yueqianchou Yue, who just made a small mistake and was temporarily punished to work here, or he will go back soon." How can it be compared with the average miner. ”
"Uncle Yue, Uncle Yue. The overseer laughed. The expression smiled a little insincerely, and he muttered in his heart that it was Yue Qianchou who offended the boss, if even this was a small mistake, then most of the miners here could be regarded as innocent people.
"Senior brother, don't take his words to heart, go, go to me and have a drink or two. Gao Shiping asked.
Yue Qianchou arched his hand and smiled: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" The two laughed, and walked towards the prison guard with their shoulders hooked, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially the eyes of some miners with envy.
The days of the prison guards were moisturizing, and at the sound of an order, the good wine and food in the refreshing wooden house were quickly set on the table. Both of them are in a good mood, frequently raising their glasses, and you come and I drink happily.
Miners can take a day off every three days, of course, for a reason, but the labor intensity of this mining is too great, and most of the miners' cultivation is below the foundation construction period. If you don't rest, I'm afraid that it won't be long before you get tired and die a lot, and this type of work is not something that ordinary mortals can do, and if you do it for mortals, it is estimated that you won't be able to dig a few pieces a day. Rest is also one of the ways to ensure the amount of excavation.
Before the end of the table, Yue Qianchou burped and said, "It's a coincidence, before I entered the sect, I had a lot of experience in the way of mining. If Senior Brother Gao can trust me, on the last day of every three days, I will ask Senior Brother to continue to check the entrance of the cave. ”
How could Gao Shiping not understand the meaning of these words, and his eyes suddenly lit up. The two laughed again and put their hearts into their hearts. In the end, Gao Shiping insisted on sending him off, and Yue Qianqian was sad and enthusiastic, but the former sent the latter directly to the cave where he lived.
The arrival of the 'High Butcher' frightened the other three people in the cave to get up. The two of them spit out the smell of wine, and the senior brother and brother shouted affectionately, which was really envious of others.
Seeing the living environment of his junior brother, Gao Shiping frowned, patted his chest and promised: "Senior brother should be patient for the time being, and I will find a clean place to live tomorrow, and this matter will be on my senior brother." ”
After the 'High Butcher' came, the three of them looked at Yue Qianchou's expressions a lot more, and they were a lot more restrained, and they no longer dared to face each other.
Yue Qianchou knew in his heart, glanced at the three of them, and suddenly saw a bloody scar on Shi Xiaotian's back, which was obviously whipped by the wolf's tooth whip. couldn't help asking, "Shi Xiaotian, what's wrong with your back?"
Hearing that he was called, Shi Xiaotian hurriedly got up again and returned to his uncle's words. Seeing the relationship between Yue Qianchou and the guard, he didn't dare to be like before. It turned out that Shi Xiaotian was still short of a hundred lower-grade spirit stones in this mission, and he had to be whipped by a wolf's tooth whip according to the regulations, and this injury was punished.
Seeing that he opened his mouth, Yue Qianchou asked more questions. Shi Xiaotian also answered one by one.
It is said that Shi Xiaotian is also unlucky, his family was originally a nobleman of the Chinese Empire, because he was born with good roots, he was favored by a certain cultivator of the Qingguang Sect and wanted to accept him as an apprentice. Cultivating immortals was an unavoidable blessing in the Huaxia Empire, and his family naturally happily agreed to the cultivator. So Shi Xiaotian went to the Qingguang Sect, and with his good roots, he reached the fourth level of qi refining in the first year, but in the second year, his master was under the mountain but he didn't know who killed him. Worst of all, he and the grandson of an elder fell in love with a female disciple at the same time. Young man, he inevitably did something jealous, and as a result, he annoyed a certain elder and was kicked here.
Yue Qianchou heard him say that his master was also dead, and couldn't help but look at him twice, and when he said that he was fighting for women, he couldn't help but laugh. When I looked at Shi Xiaotian again, I had a feeling of sympathy. So I had the idea of helping him.
"Tomorrow, you and I will go digging spirit stones!" After speaking, Yue Qianchou closed his eyes cross-legged.
Shi Xiaotian was stunned, although he was reluctant, he didn't dare to say anything. It wasn't until many years later, when he recalled tonight, that he had to sigh that fate had played a big joke on him, and his fate had completely turned around since that night.
The next day, Yue Qianchou, who was meditating cross-legged, didn't know when he fell asleep, and someone who was taking a bath in the forbidden place in the dream You and I Nong, it is estimated that he listened to the story of Shi Xiaotian's jealousy, and he thought about it day and night, otherwise how could the fairy sister who had not dreamed for a long time appear again. By the time he woke up yawning, it was already three shots in the morning.
Wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth, Shi Xiaotian's dirty face couldn't hide the anxiety in front of him. Looking at the other two people who were no longer in the cave, Yue Qian smiled with satisfaction, he would definitely not treat those who listened to him badly.
"Uncle Shi, you're awake. It's almost noon, let's hurry up!" Shi Xiaotian actually wanted to leave a long time ago, if it weren't for the relationship between Yue Qianchou and Butcher Gao, where could he still be seen now.
Seeing the two pairs of mining tools placed in front of him, Yue Qianchou sighed and walked out empty-handed. Shi Xiaotian picked up the two baskets and followed, the former looked at it and didn't say anything, he nodded secretly in his heart, if Shi Xiaotian didn't even have this look, then it wouldn't be worth his help.
The surroundings of the spirit stone mine have long been empty, except for some guards, and a few people can be seen at the entrance of the mine.
"Senior Brother Yue, you really made me wait!" Gao Shiping at the entrance of the cave laughed when he saw the two people coming over. Yue Qianchou also waved his hand, walked over and said with a smile: "How dare Senior Brother Lao, I really drank too much yesterday, and my body was a little tired, and I overslept." ”
"This is?" Gao Shiping said in confusion when he saw Shi Xiaotian behind him.
Yue Qianchou sighed with emotion: "There is great strength in numbers! I deliberately found someone to be a helper, and I believe that I will be more sure to complete the task." ”
"I believe in my brother's ability, and I will not let me down. The deep meaning of Gao Shiping's words, I'm afraid only Yue Qianchou can understand, and saw him hold out a piece of banana leaf wrapped in something and said: "Senior brother is afraid that it will take three days to go in, this is a little food, junior brother bring it in to eat!"
Smelling a smell of meat, Yue Qian took it with thanks. The other overseers almost looked at the eyeballs, when did the 'High Butcher' become so careful, and some even wondered if the two of them had any hobby of breaking their sleeves.
The other overseers also shouted affectionately, examined the two late miners, and put them into the cave. Even Shi Xiaotian followed behind him with a lot of light, and the ruthless high butcher actually nodded and smiled at him, this is really a once-in-a-millennium thing.
Yue Qianchou slowly walked towards the deepest part of the mine, Shi Xiaotian followed behind and wanted to kick him, half of the day had passed, and he was still here in no hurry.
Walking all the way to the hole dug yesterday, Yue Qianchou stopped and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten in the morning, right? It's all because I overslept. As he spoke, he opened the wrapped banana leaves, revealing a large lump of fragrant golden roast meat, tearing off half of it and handing it to Shi Xiaotian.
Yue Qianchou took a bite, well! For Gao Shiping, a person who can do things with his heart after receiving money, he likes it a little, unlike some people in his previous life who received things and didn't do things, that kind of person he hates the most.
was eating deliciously, and suddenly heard the sound of crying, and saw Shi Xiaotian holding most of the barbecue and crying. Yue Qian was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "What are you crying for?"
"Uncle Hui, Xiao Tian hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and Xiao Tian is homesick. Shi Xiaotian wiped his tears and choked up.
Child's Virtue! Yue Qianchou swallowed the meat in his mouth and said: "Damn! What did I think you were doing? Crying and chirping like a girl, hurry up and eat! ”
So the two of them squatted in the deepest part of the mine, holding the barbecue and nibbling wildly, and the sound of croaking and chewing echoed. After eating, Shi Xiaotian patted his stomach happily. Yue Qianchou told him to take the guy and take him into the hole he had dug.
When Shi Xiaotian saw that there were exposed spirit stones everywhere around the cave wall, his eyes suddenly widened, he couldn't believe it, looking at the appearance of this cave, it was obvious that someone had dug it, but why no one wanted the spirit stone in front of him. Of course, he didn't know that this was what Yue Qianchou had dug up and was too lazy to waste time picking up.
Yue Qianchou pointed to the depths and said: "This is what I found, there are still in it, all of them have bare spirit stones like here, and it is enough for us to do it for three days." Xiaotian, let you dig two people for three days, will you do it?"
Shi Xiaotian nodded excitedly, and said, "Uncle Shi, don't worry, you can rest on the side, just leave it to me alone, digging such a spirit stone will not waste much strength." ”
Damn, you brought you here because you were lazy. Feeling uncomfortable by being misunderstood, Yue Qianchou's face twitched, and explained: "I didn't give this place to you to rest, I want to find a better vein, we can't take care of it today, let's ignore the future!"
Hearing that Yue Qianchou was looking for a better ore vein, Shi Xiaotian immediately slapped his chest and said, "Uncle Shi can go with confidence! ”
How did this sound like he was comforting the person who was about to die, Yue Qianchou rolled his eyes and said, "You don't want to go out for the next three days, don't worry about digging here! I will bring you something to eat." Remember to dig it up, don't waste the exposed spirit stones. After Shi Xiaotian agreed, he didn't bother to say anything, turned around and went out to find a good place to dig up the spirit stone.
