Please subscribe: The carriage drove straight through the gate and came inside.
As soon as they entered through the gate, the four people who were visiting this bone pit for the first time heard various jingling sounds.
Looking through the gap between the canvas of the carriage, I saw that there were rubbles along the way.
Many people in ragged clothes were either holding tools and hammering hard, or two or three people were carrying a huge stone. .
When the work in hand was a little slow, there would be a cultivator supervisor who would come forward and beat him with a whip.
The miners who were beaten let out bursts of miserable screams, and soon their skin and flesh were torn apart, and even their shouts were lowered.
"Stop looking, starting from tonight, this is what you are going to experience."
Tie Qiao, the young guard, suddenly spoke.
The young man's body trembled, he slowly put down the canvas, and sat there with a pale face.
Soon, the carriage stopped.
Although this is just the edge of the mine, there is no road dedicated to carriages.
It takes a long time to walk into the hinterland or even some deeper mines.
At the edge of the mine, there is a temporary resting house for cultivators and supervisors.
Lao Wu and Tie Qiao took the four people to the house and handed them over to an overseer.
But before leaving, Lao Wu whispered to the supervisor: "Brother Fan Chong, your foreman is not here at the moment, so it is convenient for me to say this to you.
The four people we sent this time were from wealthy families in the past.
They have done rough work.
If possible, please arrange some easier work.
Otherwise, I guess they will be exhausted in a short time."
Fan Chong only had one eye.
After squinting at the four people, he nodded to Old Wu: "Since you have spoken, Old Wu, my brother will naturally help.
Fortunately, the Lord is not here.
He went to inspect the depths of the mine.
While he was still there, he went to inspect the depths of the mine.
Before he comes back, I will arrange them to go to the No. 9 mine where the task is easiest."
There are many mine caves in this Xieduo Mine.
Most are marked with numbers.
Some mines are deep and dangerous, and the rock formations are hard, so mining tasks are naturally heavy.
Some mines are relatively better.
Mine No. 9 is a relatively easy one.
I heard Lao Wu interceding for himself and others.
The young man immediately glanced at Old Wu gratefully.
Old Wu patted Fan Chong on the shoulder: "Brother, I'll take my leave now.
After work, come to Captain Liu's office and let's have a few drinks together."
Fan Chong naturally would not refuse.
He also guessed that when Old Wu came, he must have brought good wine from Kushe City.
"Everyone, please make yourself aware of this."
Old Wu looked back at the four people, one old, three young and young, then sighed, turned and left.
Fan Chong distributed the tools and then arranged for the four people to work.
Fan Chong led four people deep into Mine No. 9.
Among the hundreds of mines in the Xieduo Mine, Mine No. 9 has the lightest task.
The mine is as cold and damp as a passage leading to the Nine Netherworld, spreading diagonally underground.
The entire passage is not big, considering the man's stature.
We still have to move forward.
The boy, who was about 1.8 meters tall, had to lower his head slightly and avoid some protruding rocks above the pothole from time to time in order to move forward.

Because the two girls were relatively petite, they had no problem walking inside.
"Listen up, you guys.
There are many dangers in this mine.
You should keep your eyes open.
Eat one meal a day.
When it's meal time, someone will naturally deliver the meal down through the shaft.
Under normal circumstances.
Next time It will take fifteen days to return to the ground to rest for a day.
Those who have not completed the mining task will not be able to go up to the ground to rest."
Fan Chong led the way.
When he spoke, his voice buzzed in the mine, making his eardrums very uncomfortable.
The entire mine is very dark, with only a torch for lighting every tens of meters.
And Fan Chong leads the way, lighting the way.
What was used was a long metal stick inlaid with luminous crystals.
Along the way, I also saw some forks, but it was so dark that I didn't know where they led.
The man immediately asked: "Sir, are there many side roads here?"
Hearing the man's words, Fan Chong scolded him coldly: "Humph, the mine is deep and deep, like a maze, such as those side roads.
Once you go wrong, you will get lost in it.
Even if I come here in person, I can't find it, so besides You are not allowed to wander around in the area where you are mining.
Do you understand that no matter if you are lost or in a landslide, no one will take the risk to save people for you coolies?"
"Yeah" suddenly, one of the two girls screamed.
"What are you doing?"
Fan Chong glared and shouted angrily.
"Dead man" But the girl was so frightened that she threw herself into her brother's arms, pointing to the front not far away with a pale face.
Several people looked over and saw a pile of remains in the water on the mine floor, which had begun to rot.
The smell was really disgusting.
Fan Chong snorted and said dissatisfied: "Isn't he just a dead man?
After living in the mine for a long time, you will get used to it.
Maybe, in a few days, you will become like that."
Immediately, Fan Chong said again: "You guys are lucky.
This time, Old Wu will send you here and talk to you.
He is just a kind-hearted person.
There are not many such people nowadays."
"Sir, in my opinion, although you look ferocious, your thoughts are similar to those of Old Wu.
At least what you just said is to remind us to be careful."
The young man did not have the panic look just now, but smiled instead.
The compliment inspired Fan Chong.
Fan Chong snorted coldly: "Stop talking, you should save more energy for work.
Although this place is safer than other mines and the tasks are lighter, it does not mean that a young man like you can complete your daily tasks."
After saying that, he stopped talking and quickly led people to the front.
The mine went thousands of meters deep with twists and turns.
Although there were many side roads along the way, Fan Chong was very familiar with it and did not go wrong.
As I was walking, I suddenly saw the bright light of a torch flickering in front of me.
Fan Chong stopped.
Someone stepped on the water-filled mine, and the sound carried far away.

In front of him, a tall man was walking towards him, carrying a thin young man on his back.
"Qingya, what are you doing?"
Fan Chong suddenly said, with a hint of anger in his voice.
When the man saw Fan Chong, he stopped immediately: "Master Fan, Zhao Yi, is very thin.
Because he could not complete the mining task, he never had enough to eat, and he has not been on the ground to rest for more than forty days.
If he doesn't rest, he will It’s about to die.”
When the man named Qingya spoke, he showed no fear of Fan Chong.
Fan Chong gave Qingya a cold look and said directly: "You haven't gone to the ground to rest for several months.
Aren't you fine?
And you all share the food with them.
Why can't you bear such a weak person?
If you are just surviving in this mine, I think it would be better if you die instead of having to suffer here day and night."
Qingya said coldly: "Life is precious, no matter how weak you are, you still have the right to survive."
"Why do you want to rebel?"
Seeing Qingya dare to talk back to him, Fan Chong suddenly became a little angry.
Qingya tugged with both fists, but endured it.
Fan Chong was not too vicious.
When he saw Qingya no longer talking back, he did not punish him except glaring at him coldly.
Qingya glanced at the mine behind Fan Chong unwillingly, and could only helplessly carry the dying Zhao Yi on his back, turned around and walked back the way he came.
Since Fan Chong wouldn't let him carry Zhao Yi to the ground to rest, as a coolie, he naturally had no choice but to do it.
"By the way, these four people were assigned to Mine No. 9 just today.
From now on, you will have to take care of four more people."
After Fan Chong finished speaking, he asked the four people to follow Qingya.
He then retraced his steps and returned to the ground.
In fact, Fan Chong didn't want to treat Zhao Yi like this, but he was a supervisor and he had his own responsibilities.
If the rules in the mine are broken by Zhao Yi, Qingya and Zhao Yi will not be the only ones who will be punished.
It is very likely that even he, Fan Chong, will be punished.
Seeing Fan Chong walking away, the young man among the four newcomers immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Qingya."
Qingya glanced sideways at a few people and found that they were all old and weak women.
He could only sigh deeply in his heart and turned around to leave.
However, the young man's next words made him stop in surprise.
The young man looked indifferent, but his demeanor did not look like an unlucky man who had been reduced to a coolie.
Instead, he looked like an expert who had emerged from the world: "I have some food and herbs here, which can be used to nurse Zhao Yi back to health."
Get down, I think it won't take long for him to wake up."
After saying that, as if by magic, a piece of dough and several round pills suddenly appeared in the boy's hands.
Qingya's eyes suddenly lit up.
He was also hungry and craving food.
With his strength, there is no problem in completing the daily tasks, and he can even exceed the daily task requirements.
But he couldn't just watch other coolies starve to death.
Therefore, every time, he would share his meals with others, and also give the opportunity to go to the ground to rest every fifteen days to those in need.
However, living underground for many years in the absence of sunlight and turbid air has made these coolies' health worse and worse, and more and more people need to be taken care of.
Therefore, even though Qingya tried his best to take care of everyone every time, people still kept falling down or dying suddenly.
This time, Zhao Yi fell ill due to fatigue and hunger.
If he was not allowed to rest in time, he would become the next person to die.
Just when Qingya decided to risk being beaten by the supervisor and send Zhao Yi to the ground to rest, he met the four people brought by Fan Chong.

Originally, he thought that there would be four more people to take care of, but this time, he was wrong.
Looking at the white and attractive dough in the boy's hand.
Qingya grabbed it, then resisted the urge to eat it, broke it into small pieces, and slowly fed it into Zhao Yi's mouth.
Zhao Yi chewed a few times and swallowed the food with difficulty.
Seeing this scene, Qingya and the young man both had knowing smiles on their faces.
Qingya raised his head and glanced gratefully at this strange young man.
