Sometimes, when they witness an injustice happening with their own eyes, some people will not feel too indignant, but will be diluted by a sense of humor and absurdity.
Huo Yuhao was like this now. He looked at the red-haired man in front of him who was showing off his power to him, and he really wanted to see what other classic quotes he could say.
The red-haired man was tall and imposing in front of Huo Yuhao, but soon his attention was attracted by a scent and he kept flaring his big nostrils.
The source of that aroma was the herring on the grill in front of me.
The red-haired man didn't even ask the price, he just grabbed a big grilled fish and wolfed it down.
Huo Yuhao didn't stop him, his eyes were narrowed behind his sunglasses.
Huo Qiuer turned around and glanced at him, as if she was surprised that he could endure it.
Tianmeng immediately yelled dissatisfied: "Hey, silly guy, you haven't paid yet."
"Pay? You are setting up a stall here privately, and you have the nerve to ask me for money?" The red-haired man said with enjoyment while biting into the fish, "Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect you to have some skills. Look at you." She must have just arrived."
"Work for our brother Nan, and you can enjoy the food and drink with your barbecue skills. You don't have to knock rocks with these black-clad Tiantianxia mines every day."
As he spoke, he glanced contemptuously at the miners around him, his tone full of ridicule. The surrounding miners and women did not dare to say anything when they heard his ridicule.
Huo Yuhao spoke up at this time. He did not accuse or curse, but calmly confirmed a question: "Brother Nan you are talking about is also from Xingluo, right?"
The red-haired man raised his head and laughed loudly: "It doesn't matter that Brother Nan used to be from Xingluo. As long as he comes to the mining area, there is no distinction between people from Xingluo, Sun and Moon. If you want to eat in the mining area, you have to listen to us, Brother Nan." Yes, he is a popular person under mine owner Ding. This area is already under his control."
"Boy, I think your skills are pretty good. Come with me to see Brother Nan."
After receiving a positive reply, Huo Yuhao smiled helplessly: "Oh, it turns out you were all from Xingluo before. I understand."
Originally, he had imagined that the red-haired brawny man and Nan Ge behind him were forced to prey on these fellow Xingluo people due to the power of the mine owner, but judging from his arrogant and unreasonable attitude, his true nature was completely revealed.
"Thank you for your patronage, a grilled fish and two copper coins."
Huo Yuhao suddenly said very calmly, and his tone sounded like he regarded the red-haired burly man as a normal customer.
The red-haired strong man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and his expression suddenly turned sullen: "You still have the guts to accept money, didn't you hear what I just said?"
Huo Yuhao repeated calmly: "Two copper coins."
The red-haired man took a big bite of the grilled fish in his hand and his eyes widened: "I see you are really deaf."
Huo Yuhao slowly raised his head, and his originally calm tone suddenly became filled with chills: "What? Are you eating delicious food?"
The red-haired burly man did not expect that Huo Yuhao was actually a man who wanted money rather than his life. He had dared to collect money from him even after talking to such an extent. He felt that his face was completely lost in front of everyone.
He threw the wooden stick in his hand on the ground and was about to hit Huo Yuhao with his fist: "If you don't drink a toast, you will be fined. I will destroy your stall today!"
When the miners and women in the microcosm saw this scene, they were worried about Huo Yuhao's fate. After all, they are all ordinary people, and the red-haired strong man who is a great soul master has already made them extremely frightened.
This punch is enough to shock the brain of a strong adult male and render him unconscious.
However, just as the red-haired man's fist was launched, he had lost his center of gravity, his feet were off the ground, and his whole body was lifted up by an unknown force.
He was horrified to find that Huo Yuhao's arm was harder than any metal, lifting his collar in the air like a steel pliers, and he had no ability to resist at all.
This person is also a soul master? Soul Lord? Or the Soul Sect?
"I do not drink."
A cold voice reached the ears of the strong red-haired man, and he realized that the ordinary-looking little vendor in front of him turned out to be someone he could not afford to offend.
At this juncture, he used his last strength to shout: "If you dare to cause trouble on Brother Nan's territory, Brother Nan will never let you go!"
The threat from the red-haired burly man seemed to have worked. Huo Yuhao did not make any further moves. He just held him up and asked coldly: "Is the Brother Nan you say is very strong?"
Seeing Huo Yuhao's fearful look, the red-haired man gained some confidence: "Brother Nan will soon break through the fourth ring and become the largest mine owner in the southeast mining area. If you know what's going on, put me down."
Huo Yuhao frowned slightly when he heard this: "Isn't the biggest mine owner here surnamed Ding? When will it be someone else's turn?"
The red-haired man said: "Miner Ding said a few days ago that he would hand over all the mining areas to Brother Nan. If you still want to work in the mining areas in the future, just..."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao had lost his patience and was too lazy to pay attention to the other party. He carried his tall body and walked towards the alley at the corner of the street.
Huo Qiu'er and several other people saw him passing by, and the miners and women around him didn't dare to follow him. They could only look forward to it with fear and curiosity.
After a while, Huo Yuhao came back calmly.
Huo Qiuer frowned and asked suspiciously, "What did you do to him?"
Huo Yuhao replied calmly: "Throw it away."
Huo Qiuer: "..."
This answer is short and yet arouses endless reverie.
She was sure that Huo Yuhao wouldn't kill the opponent for such a trivial matter, but she didn't know the specific throwing method. In short, it would not be a comfortable ending.
Tian Meng stuck out his tongue in that direction and gloated: "You deserve it. If you don't pay for something, this is what you will end up with."
The surrounding miners and women were stunned when they saw such a scene.
"Young man, oh no, sir, you... you are actually a soul master!"
The middle-aged woman's title and tone suddenly changed. The original kindness and enthusiasm were no longer, but now she was full of awe.
They didn't dare to imagine Huo Yuhao's strength. After all, the red-haired man with the second ring of great soul masters was no longer something they dared to oppose.
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and said to the middle-aged woman: "Auntie, don't be afraid. I just came to the mining area to understand the situation. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."
"You can just chat with me casually like before."
Huo Yuhao's image suddenly improved a lot after he casually taught the thugs under the local evil forces a lesson.
One of the miners suddenly realized: "I see, you are a soul master, that's why you can buy such cheap fish."
Huo Qiuer asked: "Do you have any explanation?"
The miner sighed: "Those Sun Moon Empire people will sit down and raise the price as soon as they hear our Xingluo accent. But as long as they are soul masters, even if they only have one ring, they will not dare to raise the price."
Another miner took over and said angrily: "Yes, those people buy goods at low prices in Mingdu, then transport them to the mining area and sell them to us at high prices."
"It's okay to be slaughtered by the people of the Sun and Moon. I didn't expect that they are all fellow Xingluo people. They will show no mercy when they slaughter them. If I want to take the whole family to have a sumptuous meal, I might not be able to stop them even with a Gintama coin."
The group of people they were talking about were naturally the so-called Brother Nan.
When one person complained, another person agreed, and the surroundings soon turned into a scene of curses against Brother Nan.
"Sometimes, it's easier to kill fellow villagers." Huo Yuhao said lightly, "Have you never thought about leaving here?"
The old miner lamented: "We have lived here for so many years, and there are not many other places that can accommodate us. Just be more expensive if things are expensive. The income is pretty good. As long as you are willing to save, you can still save." A lot of money.”
Taking pleasure in suffering, thinking about the good things, and trying to comfort yourself are their true portrayal.
Huo Yuhao chuckled when he heard this: "The mining area makes money and the mining area spends money. I want to take it home when I leave."
The middle-aged woman stared at Huo Yuhao for a long time before hesitating and said: "Young man, I'm telling you that you are not just here to set up a stall. Listen to my advice, there is no future for you to stay here. You have offended the mine owner again. It's better to do it earlier." leave."
Huo Yuhao smiled slightly: "Madam, don't worry, those people are nothing to be afraid of."
The middle-aged woman paused and continued to persuade: "Young man, you have such a strong talent at such a young age. Staying here will only bury you. You have this strength. There is nothing wrong with Mingdu, so why come here?" Where is the broken mining area?”
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said: "Mom, on the contrary, if nothing happens, this mining area will soon become a golden mountain that everyone wants."
His words did not arouse excitement among the people around him. On the contrary, everyone's expressions changed when they heard these words.
Huo Yuhao immediately noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere.
There's a story here, and these people must know something.
"Auntie, do you know anything?"
"No, we don't know anything."
The middle-aged woman waved her hands hurriedly.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then looked at another young miner who was about twenty-five or six years old.
"Brother, do you know anything?"
"I don't know." The young miner shook his head hastily, "I don't know anything about the mithril mine."
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Everyone cast angry looks at the young miner. The young miner quickly covered his mouth, realizing that he had said the wrong thing, and his face was full of shame.
He didn't know why he made a slip of the tongue and told the secret directly. It seemed that there was an invisible force that made him subconsciously answer the other party's question.
Huo Yuhao frowned and warned: "Madam, there is nothing to hide. It is impossible for no one to know such important news just because you don't want to tell it. Isn't that why I'm here?"
"And you can't guard something like mithril. Once a large amount of mithril appears on the black market, it will be easy to trace it to the southeast mining area. When the metal detector comes to scan it, there will be no mine hidden underground. live."
The old miner sighed deeply and said, "Young man, you have misunderstood us."
"We people only know how to mine and don't know how to refine metals. We don't want outsiders to know about the mithril mine. We don't want to take possession of the mithril mine for ourselves."
Huo Yuhao frowned and asked, "Then why do you want to hide it?"
The elderly miner sighed again: "We only know that once the news about such a precious rare metal mine spreads, it will definitely attract other forces to compete for it."
"No matter who the new owner of this mining area is, it will be impossible for us to continue mining here. Even if we hire miners, we will only hire local people from Mingdu."
"We can only leave this mining area. But after leaving this mining area, where can we go?"
His dark face looked even more sad, and his black beard kept trembling.
"We people don't have much ability. We just hope that the news about the mithril mine is false. We can dig here for a few more years and save more money."
Huo Yuhao fell silent upon hearing this.
His first reaction was that everyone's concealment was because they were interested in the priceless mithril mine. He was extremely surprised and felt a little heavy about the real reason given by the old miner.
After a long time, Huo Yuhao said calmly: "Uncle and aunt, thank you very much. I understand it almost."
With that said, he cleaned up his grill and stall, and motioned to the side. The Ice Emperor carried Tian Meng and left behind him with the Snow Emperor Huo Qiu'er.
A group of miners and women just watched him leave, and no one said a word. Perhaps they just thought that he was sent by some powerful force to inquire about the mithril mine.
Sighs came one after another, as if they had seen the struggle between the major forces fighting for the mithril mines, and they, the immigrant miners, were forced to become homeless.
Over the years in the mining area, most of them have saved some savings, but what they are more afraid of is that the residence they are accustomed to will be destroyed, and they don't know where to go.
Will you be ostracized if you continue to stay in the Sun and Moon Empire? Or return to the Star Luo Empire?
Huo Yuhao and Huo Qiuer walked side by side on the street. Tianmeng and Bingxue Emperor had returned to the sea of spirits.
Tianmeng has been holding the Ice Emperor's legs in the sea of spirits and crying. The grilled fish time that finally came was over in an instant, and it was not satisfying at all.
Huo Yuhao recalled the words of the red-haired burly man and was filled with doubts.
The Mine Owner Ding he mentioned should be Ding Yi, the largest mine owner in the mining area mentioned by the Pingfanmen League. However, Mine Owner Ding didn't seem to care much about this mining area that was on the verge of exhaustion, and actually left it to his subordinates to take care of it.
That Brother Nan has become the local emperor of this immigrant community, relying on his little strength to compete with fellow villagers.
But Huo Yuhao was very curious, why did Mine Owner Ding say that he had handed over all the mining areas to Brother Nan? Doesn't he have any other subordinates? He has to hand it over to a stranger.
"You always have the greatest compassion for the weak and never refuse to integrate into them." Huo Qiuer's tone sounded like praise, but more like teasing, "You really have an inexplicable affinity for setting up a stall and selling barbecue. Obsession.”
Huo Yuhao said indifferently: "Trading people and pawns, driving carts and selling pulp, is an ancient occupation. Just like the miners of Shi Peng Huiyou, they rely on their own labor to get fair remuneration. I know that the universe is vast, but I still pity the green grass and trees. I I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”
He slowly raised his head, and the direction he faced was a relatively grand restaurant in the mental detection. It should be what the miners said was a very expensive restaurant.
"Next, I'm going to grab market share." Huo Yuhao smiled slightly, "Do you want to see what business war is?"
Huo Qiuer was silent for a moment and asked, "Are you sure you are talking about business war?"
