Chapter 2 Becoming a Miner

Although full of doubts, along the way, the hundreds of officers and soldiers are vaguely They were surrounded, and it seemed that they had been prepared to escape, which made Xiao Lin choose to forbear.

"Xiao Lin, do you think they are really going to exterminate the bandits?" Xiao Shi leaned beside Xiao Lin and said in a low voice, obviously he also felt something was wrong.

"No matter where you go, just follow along." Although Xiao Lin's heart sank long ago, he still understands the current situation. People have to bow their heads under the eaves. About every hundred zhang, Xiao Lin will inadvertently scratch the tree trunk with the stones in his hands.

After walking for another three days, the trees in front of them suddenly became sparse, and a bare mountain appeared in the distance. It would not be accurate to say that it was completely bare. When they walked in, Xiao Lin realized that Halfway down the mountainside, it was bare, and above it, it was covered with rushing green, and there were more than a dozen pitch-black holes in the bare part below the mountainside.

Beside the forest on the right side of the mountain, there is a three-story wooden building, next to the building is a neat thatched cottage, all around the thatched cottage, and a tower stands on each side, Xiao Lin glanced at it. I saw a burly man with a strong crossbow standing on each tower.

On the left side of the mountain is a lake with a size of dozens of acres.

Xiao Lin saw that after they approached the thatched hut, a few burly men came out from the three-story attic next to the thatched hut. They were all wearing azure linen gowns. On their left shoulder was a metal shoulder pad the size of a palm, and on their chests, a small knife and a small sword were embroidered, and the two were crossed.

The man at the front of the group, the two cuffs of the sackcloth gown, are gray and very conspicuous. Obviously, this person is the leader of that group of big men.

Seeing those people, the scar on Liu Dali's face shone brightly, and a strange smile appeared on his face. He dismounted, took a few close followers, and moved towards those people to greet them. .

The leader of the group and Liu Dali kept discussing something in a low voice. After a while, Liu Dali took a bag from the hand of a big man beside the leader, which looked heavy. Yes, he weighed it, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Lin's heart sank completely. He understood that his group of people was betrayed by that Liu Dali.

Sure enough, after a while, Liu Dali walked back, and then instructed his subordinates to drive hundreds of laborers to the front of the big men, then greeted the leader, and brought his subordinates. Leaving swaggeringly.

There was a sudden commotion in the crowd.

In this situation, no matter how stupid people know, they were betrayed by Liu Dali, and those big men don't know who they are. Many people are guessing that it is not a bandit, right?

"Aren't you very strange, what is this place?" The leader glanced at everyone, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"First of all, let me introduce to you, I am Branch Lord Wulian of the Huai County branch of Hundred Refinements Hall, and the mountain you see is our Hundred Refinements Hall mine in Huai County. As for you, you have been sold to our Hundred Refinements Hall as miners, and your job is to mine from now on, and you must hand over a certain amount of ore every month, otherwise you will be punished with whipping." After speaking, he sneered. Watching the crowd.

"We are migrant workers who carry siege equipment for the official army, not miners. If we don't go to collect the bandits, then we would rather go back to Huai County." A man who looked very strong stood up and said, He was about thirty years old, and his clothes were tattered, but he didn't cover the exposed tendon, which made one see that this man was very energetic.

"Yes, we want to go back, we are not miners."

As soon as someone took the lead, several people jumped out and clamored to go back.

Xiao Lin grabbed Xiao Shi, who also wanted to stand out, and winked at him, signaling him to calm down.

Wu Lian looked at the few people who came out. There was no expression on his face, and the sneer at the corner of his mouth disappeared. He didn't say anything, just coldly snorted.

Suddenly, a big man beside him moved a distance of two zhangs and suddenly appeared in front of the 30-year-old strong man. He went out, but his fist was empty. As soon as the word "bad" appeared in his mind, he felt as if his chest had been smashed by a huge boulder, his eyes went black, and he completely lost consciousness.

What Xiao Lin and the others saw was the light palm of the big man from Hundred Refinements Hall pressed against the strong man's chest, followed by the strong man and flew out, squirting a mouthful of in midair. blood , has completely lost its breath after landing.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, Xiao Lin and Xiao Shi were also stunned, and two words appeared in Xiao Lin's mind: "martial skill."

When he was in the village, he had heard from the old man in the village that there were some gangs in Huai County, and these gangs would accept some Disciples with aptitude, and after they taught martial skills and cultivation for more than ten years, these people were not only strong As an ox, and come and go without a shadow or trace, more than a dozen ordinary person can't beat one, and this kind of person is also called a Jianghu person.

Xiao Lin suddenly envied that big man, with such a skill, who would dare to bully him? If you have this ability, you can protect the father and younger sister from being bullied.

The big man, this move killing the chicken to warn the monkey, immediately stunned all the people, and the few people who jumped out to leave also retreated in horror, looking at the few people in front of them. The people at Hundred Refinements Hall had fear in their eyes.

Obviously, Wu Lian was very satisfied with the scene in front of him and put on a smile again on his face.

"Is that right? Don't worry, you can mine here. In addition to handing in the specified weight of ore every month, you can get 1% commission and convert it into silver taels as your reward. If someone performs well, can dig more than twice the amount of ore for three consecutive months, overfulfill the monthly tasks, and can join our Hundred Refinements Hall, become an Outer Sect Disciple, and become an Outer Sect Disciple, then the benefits are even more. Now, not only will you receive a monthly salary of silver tael, but you can also learn the basic martial skills of our Hundred Refinements Hall and related ore basic knowledge, and you will be able to get rid of the hard work of mining and become a ore finder.”

Then the martial arts complexion changed, and he put on a fierce expression: "But I want to warn you, don't think about running here, it's impossible to get out from here, let's not say that the surrounding area is decorated The Disciple of our Hundred Refinements Hall, and there are many dark whistles outside. You can't get out of this nearly 200-mile mountain road, so don't be careful, dig here with peace of mind, and strive to become a We are the Outer Sect Disciple of Hundred Refinements Hall, this road is your only way to survive."

No one came out again, everyone was stunned by Wulian's hard and soft method, they knew that Wulian It's a fact, not to mention the dozen or so big men around, it's just the mountain road in the mountain range that day, even if there is no one to lead or there are many people, it is impossible to run out.

"Sun Fang, take them to collect mining supplies and clothing." Wu Lian understood that these people in front of him were completely tamed by him, he greeted the big man beside him, and turned to leave. moved towards the attic.

The big guy who was called Sun Fang was the one who killed the sturdy man, and everyone looked towards him with fear in their eyes.

"Follow me." Sun Fang took everyone to a temporary enclosed space in front of the hut on the left. A tent was set up, and there were two tables and chairs under the tent. Two people were sitting, one of them was holding a roster, and the other was sorting out the items beside him.

"You line up, pick up the item and the house number one by one, remember, follow the number on the house number to find your own house, take a day off today, and gather here early tomorrow morning, when the time comes I will. Arrange work for you." After speaking, Sun Fang gave everyone a cold look, and sneered turned and left.

I took a coarse gray coat, a kerosene lamp, a fire coin, an iron pickaxe and a bamboo basket, plus a wooden token, which said East twenty-one, Xiao Lin Glancing at Xiao Shi next to him, the wooden token in his hand is West Thirty-Three.

Xiao Lin couldn't help showing a wry smile. He thought that the idea of living with Xiao Shi was completely in vain. Xiao Shi also had a helpless expression on his face. It was changed to Dong Twenty-one, but he was directly stared back.

There was no other way, Xiao Lin had to say hello to Xiao Shi, and then took the house number to find his place.

After a while, Xiao Lin found his thatched hut and gently pushed the door open. The door was not locked and opened directly. When he walked in, the hut was not big, only two zhangs wide and five A wooden bed with a set of gray thin quilts and a wooden washbasin, apart from this, nothing, I glanced around, only three of the five wooden beds seemed to be passive, look Come here and he lived a total of four people.

Xiao Lin put things on the bed and stared at the door in a daze. He thought of his father and little sister, and wondered if they had arrived in Huai County? Have you found a place to stay?

I originally wanted to exterminate the bandits, whether it was successful or not, it shouldn't take too long, but didn't expect to be sold to the Hundred Refinements Hall as a miner, even though the Wu Lian said Yes, as long as you dig well, you can become the Outer Sect Disciple of the Hundred Refinements Hall, but Xiao Lin faintly felt that it would not be easy to become the Outer Sect Disciple of the Hundred Refinements Hall.

If you can't become the Outer Sect Disciple of Hundred Refinements Hall, then leaving here is basically a long way off. Although he has made marks along the way, he can't get out of this day without enough food. Lu mountain range, even more how, there are many fierce wild beasts in this deep mountain.

No matter how he thought about it, Xiao Lin felt that the success rate of escaping from here was close to zero, and in the end, he completely extinguished his thoughts of escaping, and simply climbed into the bed and fell asleep.
