Chapter 6 Mine Slaves (please read and collect)
After hearing the pleading of the people behind him, Tian Lin and Boss Zhang looked at each other and said no more.
The team walked in silence for several miles, and the sky gradually became dark.
The only sounds on the official road were the scolding of men in black and the sound of horses' hooves clicking back and forth.
Soon they rounded a mountain and when they passed a river, everyone saw a fire light in the distance.
"Old Zhou, open the door quickly!"
The old man in black robe walking in front shouted, then rode across the river.
The men in black who were maintaining order raised their whips and whipped them on the Huahua Lang like herding sheep: "Go quickly, go quickly, it's his fault. He didn't eat?"
When Tian Lin heard that he was eating, he subconsciously touched his belly, but he also stepped up his pace and walked on the river to the other side.
When they got closer to the fire there, they discovered that it was a stockade set up along the valley.
There is a wooden fence at the mouth of the valley, and several horses are placed at the door.
"Manager Xu, how many people have you brought this time?"
The man guarding the fence put on the iron armor he found somewhere and strode to the side of the old man in black robe.
I saw the old man in black robe saying on the horse: "There are only about 500 people this time, which should be enough for half a year. How about it, have the positions in the mine been arranged?"
"Everything has been arranged, and the porridge for tonight is also ready."
While the soldier was talking to the old man in black robes, several men in black whipped their whips to drive the Huahua Langs toward the valley.
"What are you doing here? You have eaten first, and you have to work tomorrow morning!"
Some people have already regretted it, so they begged and said: "Please do me a favor and let me go. I don't want to mine anymore."
The response was the sound of a knife being drawn and the lightning-like light of the knife.
I saw the murderer in black driving his horse over the corpse. He turned to look at the other Huahua Lang and said, "You want to go back on what you agreed to do? Do you think the mine in Merchant Fort is a latrine?" Just say and leave?”
If they dared to be angry but dared not speak out at the beginning, after another person died, the remaining Huahua Lang no longer even dared to be angry.
Boss Zhang tugged on Tian Lin's sleeve, smiled and said in the crowd: "How about it, I told you, this Merchant Fort didn't intend to teach people the magic from the beginning, right?"
Tian Lin followed the person in front and asked him: "Thank you for being able to laugh now. Are you not afraid of this situation?"
"Afraid?"
Zhang Laodaodao: "There is no such thing as seeking immortality that is neither difficult nor dangerous. When working in Merchant Fort, as long as you work more diligently, you will not lose your life."
He said: "I have been to too many places and know what this world is like. The so-called immortal fate is actually about silver coins. Those high-ranking officials can use silver coins to clear the way, but people like us can only look for opportunities. Earn your life.”
He said: "Merchant Fort is the place where I devote my life to earning immortality."
Just as he spoke passionately, he immediately closed his mouth and shrank his neck like a quail.
Tian Lin glanced at it and realized that Manager Xu, who had been chatting with the soldier earlier, had already walked over. He said to a few men in black: "It's too late tonight. Let them sleep in the cabin for the night and then eat tomorrow." .”
Some people were so hungry that they couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Xu——Manager Xu? I haven't eaten for two days. Can you give me a bowl of porridge?"
"Come into the wooden house and sleep, what kind of porridge should you drink?"
The man in black over there kicked me, and here Manager Xu said: "I've been hungry for two days, and it's okay to be hungry for another day. Okay, everyone, go to bed early."
"I slept with him!"
As soon as they entered the wooden house, someone cursed:
"You bitch, before you came here, you said that Merchant Fort had a cooperation with Yao Yue Sect, and that you would have food to eat and the opportunity to cultivate as an immortal. Now that you have coaxed us here, you won't even give us a morsel of porridge." The man scolded. After that, a man who was lying down in the wooden house sat up and said, "What Manager Xu said is right. Merchant Fort does cooperate with the Yaoyue Sect. You might be able to cultivate immortality if you stay here. He refused to give you porridge. Simply because I want to enrich myself.”
The newcomers looked at the man who was lying down and heard the man say:
"I came here half a year earlier than you guys, so I still understand some of the conditions in the mines. Manager Xu was originally just a slave in the mines like us. Later, he cured favor with the merchants, became a manager, and practiced magic."
The man over there was talking while Boss Zhang dragged Tian Lin to a corner of Datong Shop.
The room was noisy, with two large bungalows extending straight from the south wall to the north wall, and the smell of sweat and feet was everywhere.
"How about it, I said, as long as you stay here, you will have a chance to become an immortal, right?"
Tian Lin followed Boss Zhang and occupied a corner of the Datong berth. Regardless of whether they were sleepy or not, the two of them refused to get out of bed and let others take their seats.
"I'm afraid this opportunity to cultivate immortality is very difficult. I say I want to curry favor with the merchant, but when will the merchant's boss come to the mine? Where will there be any chance to curry favor with us?"
At this time, the man's voice over there came over again: "So, everyone should work hard. As long as you work hard, the person in charge will report your name to Mr. Shang, and you will have a chance. I saw Mr. Shang.”
There were many "newcomers" surrounding the man over there, but Tian Lin and Boss Zhang didn't get close to him.
Tian Lin tilted his head and asked Boss Zhang: "How much do you think what that guy said is true?"
Boss Zhang took off his clothes and made a pillow on the bed. After hearing what Tian Lin said, he laughed:
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"I asked about it before I came to Merchant Fort. What that man said is true. But there is one thing. For ordinary people to work here, it's good if they don't get scolded. If you want to win the favor of the managers, you have that Able? ”
As he spoke, the sound of banging bang bang bang could be heard outside the house.
I heard a man in black outside the house say: "What are you yelling about? Go to bed early and save some energy to smash rocks tomorrow."
Everyone did not dare to say anything and climbed onto Datongpu one after another.
It was just that people were next to each other, crowded together, smelling the smell of sweat around them, and no one could fall asleep for a while.
Tian Lin touched the straw mat and felt that it was damp and sticky like sweat.
Boss Zhang laughed at Tian Lin and said, "You have been a Huahua Lang for several years, can't you stand this?"
Tian Lin slapped a flea on his hand to death and couldn't help but said: "I'm afraid you will get sick if you live in this place for a long time."
"The world is like this. If you don't want to sleep with fleas, you can only seek immortality."
Mr. Zhang sighed and said: "We don't necessarily want to become gods, we just want an opportunity to change our destiny."
Tian Lin didn't speak. He also tried to close his eyes with his dirty clothes.
Most people couldn't sleep that night and were full of uneasiness about their future lives.
Tian Lin didn't know what Boss Zhang was thinking. He only knew that since Boss Zhang came to Merchant Castle on his own initiative, he must have a plan to obtain magic.
Tian Lin didn't know what Boss Zhang had planned, but he also knew one thing, and that was to keep an eye on Boss Zhang at all times.
First get the method of martial arts training from Boss Zhang, because Boss Zhang is good at martial arts.
Then try to find a way to get the magic from Boss Zhang——
Boss Zhang is right in saying that if ordinary people want to change their destiny, then they should become immortals!
Does the pace feel a bit slow these two days? Let’s talk about it. While I have to control the plot, I also have to grasp everyone’s taste.
In addition, as usual, please follow up for reading, thank you.
