Chapter 6 Payment of Ore

Went to a small river in the bamboo forest in the east, Xiao Lin put himself inside I washed it all over the place, especially the iron pick, three or four times, until I couldn't see a trace of blood before I felt relieved.

When I got back to the hut, the sky was already light up, but Xiao Lin didn't care, fell on the bed and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took to fall asleep. When Xiao Lin woke up refreshed, he looked at the bright window with a thoughtful expression on his face.

The scene that happened in the mine was still replayed in Xiao Lin's mind. He was thinking about how to deal with Xiang Kun's group again. At first, he thought about whether to change the mine. , but this idea was quickly suppressed by him. After all, if he wanted to come, changing a mine might not be without such a thing. At least Xiang Kun was only collecting money for the road. If my life is not good, I will explain it.

When he wanted to come, Xiang Kun doubted that he was sure, but he also had his own advantages. After all, he was only twelve years old, and he was thin and frail. Even if Xiang Kun doubted, he probably wouldn't. Believe that he can kill Wang Ji.

At that time, I was just making up a few lies about Wang Ji being sneak attacked, maybe I could get away with it, and after thinking about it with a frowning face for an hour, Xiao Lin put on an expressionless face , out of the hut.

These two days are the days when the ore is paid in a centralized manner, so there are many people in the small square, most of them carrying bamboo baskets, queuing up to hand in the ore.

Xiao Lin carried a bamboo basket on his back and silently lined up behind him.

Because the deadline for leaving the mine is tomorrow, most of the people who came to deliver the mine today have completed the task, and their faces are full of confidence. After all, completing the task indicates that it will be fine. Survive the next month, as for the next month, for these miners, they can’t think of that long-term.

Soon, there were only three people in front of Xiao Lin. He also stretched his neck and watched the people in front of him hand in the mine.

The front is a young man in his early twenties. He has clear eyebrows and a well-proportioned figure. At first glance, he looks like a scholar, and it seems that he has nothing to do with miners.

The young man came to the Disciple where Hundred Refinements Hall was collecting mines and grinned. He lifted the sackcloth covering the bamboo basket, revealing the hematite ore that was half full of the bamboo basket.

"Get on the scale." The Hundred Refinements Hall Disciple drank, and immediately behind him someone poured the hematite in the bamboo basket into a large bamboo basket next to it, and a Hundred Refinements Hall Disciple Then use a large exaggerated scale to weigh.

The weight of the steel scale is made of a solid piece of wood, with a dark red appearance, ten feet long, and the thickness of the arm. In Xiao Lin's eyes, the weight is at least a few tens of kilograms, not to mention Speaking of the big iron scale and the dozens of kilograms of ore hanging up.

The arm strength of this Hundred Refinements Hall Disciple is at least 300 pounds, and he can easily lift it by himself.

He glanced coldly at the scale.

"One hundred and seven catties, complete the task, credit one time, and reward five or two or seven fine silver." The Hundred Refinements Hall Disciple said with a blank expression.

The miners in the back gasped, all with envious expressions on their faces.

"Who is this man? He can dig up more than 100 kilograms of ore?"

"You don't know, he is the nephew of Zhu Biao from the No. 7 mine. Zhu Chong."

"Zhu Biao? Is that Zhu Biao who is known to be the most brutal in the mine?"

"Shhh, keep your voice down, let Zhu Biao know, how did you die? I don't know, hey, who else can be besides him, or do you think his nephew Zhu Chong can dig more than 100 catties of ore?"

"I heard that the No. 7 mine is about to die. Every month At least two or three people died inside, and I think Zhu Biao did it."

"There is no way around this. It was quite a bit of work, but I didn't know what happened later, I ran out of the guard station, and was chased by a group of guards, and came here after desperate."

"It seems that Zhu Biao wants to become a The Disciple of Hundred Refinements Hall is available at any time, but I don't know why I always choose to be a miner in Pit No. 7?"

"This is not simple, Zhu Biao's current power is normal. What an Outer Sect Disciple can have, to become an Outer Sect Disciple, one has to find ore veins, where is it comfortable to be king here, even more how he doesn't need to dig a hole at all now, every moonlight is a part of his filial piety, just Enough to pay the task."

"I heard that this nephew of his is also highly valued by Zhu Biao. After paying so much ore at one time, it seems that he is preparing to train him to enter the Hundred Refinements Hall."

"That's for sure. Although Zhu Biao dominates the mines, it is a dream to leave here. If his nephew can enter the Hundred Refinements Hall and become an Outer Sect Disciple, he will be able to get the best martial skills. Even if Zhu Biao left here and returned to Huai County, he would still be able to run rampant."

Xiao Lin looked at Zhu Chong with a smug expression on his face, and Zhu Chong held the silver , he threw the silver to a Disciple of Hundred Refinements Hall without hesitation, and the Disciple of Hundred Refinements Hall happily caught it and smiled at Zhu Chong.

Except for Zhu Chong who paid more than 100 catties of hematite all at once, most of the rest were 50 catties, and a good amount of 35 catties was not bad, which made Xiao Lin had a bottom line in his heart. It seemed that these people were indeed hiding the excess ores. Otherwise, it was a coincidence that most of them just happened to have dug up 50 kilograms of ores.

However, Xiao Lin saw that the Disciple of Hundred Refinements Hall obviously didn't care about this, and he didn't want to search the mine. After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Lin also understood that the miners here In addition to eating and mining, almost every day is two points and one line. There is no time to hide the hematite outside. Besides, for them, it doesn’t matter if the hematite is hidden in the mine. Anyway, this month If you don't pay it, it will be handed in next month.

As long as the miners don't hide the ore outside, the ore will be owned by the Hundred Refinements Hall sooner or later. After thinking about this, Xiao Lin secretly decided that if he digs more than 50 kilograms of ore next month. The ore is hidden in the mine, in case the task cannot be completed in any month, it is better to collect it.

In the process of paying the ore, Xiao Lin deliberately looked for Xiang Kun. In the mine, due to the dim light, in addition to Xiang Kun's appearance, Xiao Lin clearly remembered his appearance. Xiao Lin didn't care too much about the appearance of his subordinates. He was still worried that Xiang Kun would find trouble for him.

After looking around for a while, Xiao Lin let go of his dangling heart. It seems that the overlord of Pit No. 3 has not come out. He should still be in the mine. I wonder if he is looking for it that murderer.

Soon, it was Xiao Lin's turn. After weighing, he had a total of 58 catties of hematite, which was considered to be over-completed. He was rewarded with 8 coins. He touched the broken silver in his hand. Lin is really happy, growing up so big, this is the first time he has earned money.

Although eight coins are not much, it is a lot of wealth for a child in a poor mountain village. He took the silver and moved towards the grocery store. Get ready to go see what's good and buy a little.

"It's not bad boy, he actually overfulfilled the mining task and got eight coins." Four brawny men suddenly surrounded them, each of them holding a coin in their hands. He blocked Xiao Lin's path with the dazzling long knife, and a slow voice came from the side, and a person walked by.

"Zhu Chong?" Seeing this person, Xiao Lin's face turned pale, and his heart thumped wildly.

"In this Qingshui Lake mine, miners don't need silver, so bring it." Zhu Chong smiled and stretched out a hand. In his opinion, the brat in front of him was less than his chin. High, it's not an easy thing to do.

As he expected, Xiao Lin very obediently gave Zhu Chong the broken silver in his hand. He took a deep look at Zhu Chong, bit his lip lightly, and said nothing.

"That's right, Wang San, go do a search to see if this kid has other good things." Zhu Chong's words made Xiao Lin complexion changed, but it returned to normal after just a moment. .

The big guy named Wang San touched Xiao Lin all over his body, but found nothing but a dagger. After whispering a few words to Zhu Chong, a few people left angrily. .

Seeing Zhu Chong and the others leaving, Xiao Lin gently relaxed and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Fortunately, he hid the broken silver and the many daggers under the bed last night, otherwise he would There will be a big problem. Xiao Lin is not worried about the few pieces of silver, but worried that if Xiang Kun finds out about this matter, he will definitely think that Wang Ji died in his own hands. Well done.

With no money on hand, Xiao Lin didn't want to go to the grocery store anymore, so he returned to the house and fell asleep.

After sleeping one day and one night, Xiao Lin woke up refreshed. After calculating the time, these two days should be the time when the most people pay the monthly ore quest. In order to avoid trouble, he When it was close to the evening, I went to the cafeteria, received food and water for ten days, and entered the mine.

Xiao Lin, who was cautiously on the road, didn't let go of his tense heart until he entered the mine he had dug. What he is most afraid of now is meeting Xiang Kun. But not encountering is obviously the best outcome.

Soon, a year has passed, Xiao Lin was surprised that he did not meet Xiang Kun again during this year, which made him a little strange, could it be that Xiang Kun came out What was the accident? Thinking about it, Xiao Lin thinks it is unlikely.

Thinking about the end, I didn't come up with a result, Xiao Lin also put Xiang Kun behind him. Now Xiao Lin has grown up a lot after this year's life as a miner, even though he is only ten years old. He is three years old, but his size is not much worse than that of an adult now. His skin is slightly pale, his appearance is ordinary, his body is very well-proportioned, and his arms are much stronger. meal.

For more than a year, he has been able to complete the task without any risk every month through the method of the big head miner. Not only that, he also discovered a pattern in the process of mining.
