"Welcome everyone to Ping'an Coal Mine." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Do you know what Ping'an Coal Mine's peace means?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wang Guan said: "The word peace means peace. No matter how big a thing or sin you have committed, you will be safe when you get here."
Everyone suddenly realized, and then looked happy.
Wang Guan said kindly: "We won't ask about your past here. You can start a new life here. We won't discriminate against you or kill you."
"But there is one thing. You must work hard and be friendly to each other. You must never commit adultery again. If you continue to cause trouble here, no one can save you."
Everyone nodded vigorously and looked like they had repented of their past mistakes.
Feng Jia looked at the people around him and thought: Are these people all criminals who have committed crimes? This Ping An Coal Mine is a good place to go. The people here are so brave.
Wang Guan said: "Come with me, everyone, I will show you around."
So, everyone followed Wang Guan and walked away.
They walked to a huge palace with a huge locker in the palace.
The lockers are made of fine steel and look extremely sturdy, and there is a huge combination lock on the door of each locker.
Wang Guan enthusiastically introduced: "The combination lock is the latest development result of Shangjun Courtyard. The advantage is that it does not require a key. You only need to remember your own password. You can open it later."
"If it's an old-fashioned lock, if the key is lost, it will be very troublesome, right?"
Everyone nodded.
Wang Guan said: "So, everyone, please choose a cabinet. From now on, this cabinet will be yours."
Feng Jia couldn't help but said: "Give it to us?"
Wang Guan said: "Of course I give it to you."
Feng Jia couldn't believe it: "You don't want money?"
Wang Guan smiled: "Within the four seas, we are brothers. When you come here, you are our brothers and sisters. How can you collect money?"
Feng Jia was immediately happy.
Many people start choosing cabinets.
There are numbers on this cabinet.
They first selected the cabinet, and then with the help of Guan Wang, they clumsily set the password.
Then, Guan Wang said: "Please put the items you carry with you in."
So, everyone started putting things away.
Of course, most people just put in some rags, pots and pans, but not the really valuable things.
Wang Guan said somewhat unhappily: "Everyone, just put everything in."
Everyone was a little uneasy: "Put everything in?"
Wang Guan nodded: "Not bad."
Feng Jia and Feng Xiaojia suddenly looked solemn.
Someone obviously had the same doubts and said to Wang Guan: "We put these things in. What if they are lost in the future? If they are lost, who does it belong to?"
Wang Guan laughed and said: "Lost? How could it be lost? Look at this iron lock, how strong it is? Look at this cabinet made of fine steel. Even an ax cannot break it."
"And this cabinet is right here. Everyone can see it coming in and out. Even if someone wants to steal something, can he steal it in public? Can he take it away?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
They thought about it carefully for a while, and it seemed like this. But...this thing always makes people feel weird.
Wang Guan sighed and said to everyone: "Everyone, do you know why I asked you to put down the things you carry with you?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Wang Guan said: "You are burdened with too many things. There are grievances, fears, sadness, and pain. The luggage and clothes you carry remind you of these things all the time."
"So, I hope you can let it go. In addition, next, we will take care of food and accommodation, and each of you will be assigned a room. You usually have to work, and you really think that the valuable things you carry with you can be hidden away ?"
"Do you really think the place you chose will be safer than this locker?"
Everyone thought for a while and put their things in one after another.
Feng Xiaojia asked Feng Jia in a low voice: "Father, do we want to put it in too?"
Feng Jia hesitated for a while, nodded slowly, and whispered: "Put it in, this person is right."
"First of all, we can't let others know about our gold, silver and jewelry. If we refuse to put them in, someone will definitely become suspicious."
"Secondly, this is a coal mine. Although we are temporarily avoiding the limelight, we must be working. How to hide these good things while we are working? It is indeed a problem. It is better to put them here."
Feng Xiaojia nodded.
So, they put all the gold and silver in the locker.
Stuffed to the brim.
After everyone was settled, Wang Guan looked at them with a disappointed look on his face: "I treat you all with sincerity. How can you treat me like this?"
Everyone was stunned and asked curiously: "What happened to us?"
Wang Guan said: "Everyone, please put everything in, including your clothes."
Everyone looked at Guan Wang in surprise: "In that case, wouldn't we be naked?"
Wang Guan looked at everyone with a smile: "Does it matter if you are naked? There are only men here. Everyone, after a while, work clothes will be distributed to you. You don't want to wear such good clothes to go to the mine, do you?"
"It's not that I look down on your clothes. Such clothes will get dirty in less than an hour in the mine."
Everyone thought about it and felt that this was right.
But some sane people said: "However, can't we get new clothes first and then change into old ones?"
Wang Guan said calmly: "Everyone, I am doing this all for your own good. If you don't believe me, I don't think we need to continue."
When everyone saw that Wang Guan was angry, they all said, "That's it, that's it. Let's just take off our clothes."
So everyone took off their clothes.
Wang Guan nodded with satisfaction and said to everyone: "I still have something to do, so I will leave for a while. The next thing will be completed by my brother Wang Ka."
Then, Guan Wang left.
Everyone started whispering among themselves.
Everyone said that although the rules of Ping An Coal Mine were a bit strange, this Wang Guan was indeed a good person, smiling all the time and looking very kind.
Feng Jia and Feng Xiaojia were also very satisfied and thought it would be good to avoid the limelight in this place.
Everyone was talking when they suddenly heard a deafening voice: "Please be quiet, is this a pig farm?"
Everyone was shocked.
Then, they saw a man with a rough appearance and a fierce look on his face.
The man was holding a loudspeaker and striding over.
The man said loudly: "I am Wang Ka. From now on, I will be in charge of you. I have a habit."
"First, I don't want to hear you ask why. Just do whatever I ask you to do. If you do well, you will be rewarded. If you do bad, there will be punishment. It's that simple."
"Second, I hope that you can fully abide by my rules and implement them to the letter. If anyone violates them and deliberately delays them, don't blame me for being rude."
"Third, I will find out one of the worst people every month. I hope you won't be caught out by me."
Someone asked, "What about the worst guy?"
Wang Ka glared at this man and strode over.
The man was a little scared and shrank his neck.
And Wang Ka walked directly in front of him, suddenly raised his loudspeaker and shouted to him: "Is this something you should worry about?"
The man was suddenly deafened by the shock.
Wang Ka sneered, returned to the stage with a loudspeaker, and said loudly: "Now, form a long line and follow me."
Wang Ka didn't look back and strode forward.
Everyone present lined up nervously and then moved forward.
On the way, everyone whispered to each other.
Many people said with emotion: "It's better for Wang to manage it. This Wang Ka is too bad."
Some people said: "It's okay. When the king is done with his work, just replace this king card. Let's just stick to it and be patient."
Feng Xiaojia looked at Feng A.
Feng Jia whispered: "It doesn't matter, we won't be able to live here for long anyway, so just be patient."
Feng Xiaojia nodded.
Suddenly, there was another deafening voice: "No whispering, please be quiet."
So everyone became quiet.
Afterwards, everyone was taken to a large room. The house is a bit dark and damp.
Wang Ka said: "Ping An Coal Mine is the place that cares most about the miners. One of the manifestations of caring about you is that it does not want you to get sick."
"Research shows that poor hygiene is one of the root causes of illness. So from now on, you have to take a bath twice a day. Once when you get up early and once when you go to bed late."
After hearing this, everyone was a little happy.
You know, most of them are poor.
In the Qin Dynasty, poor people took baths based on years. If you can take a bath twice a day, you are the richest among the rich.
Wang Ka said: "Now, let's get your toiletries."
Everyone was a little confused and didn't know what the toiletries were.
Then, someone came over and one of them gave them a small piece of soap.
Wang Ka said: "Start taking a bath now."
Everyone was a little confused. There was no water here, so how could they take a bath? What about the bathtub?
Just when they thought of this, several people holding water pipes suddenly appeared in front of them and started spraying them.
Cold water was poured on them, and many people began to scream.
Wang Ka raised his loudspeaker and shouted: "What are you stunned for? Apply soap and take a shower."
The water pipe is moving, watering these people one by one.
They took advantage of the misalignment of the water flow to soap themselves up and then started rinsing again.
There is a steam engine in the coal mine, and the waste heat in the steam engine has already heated the water, so the warmth is actually quite comfortable.
After the initial discomfort, these people soon sighed happily.
After rinsing, Wang Ka said again: "Follow me."
Everyone followed Wang Ka dripping wet.
Then they were handed towels.
After drying themselves with towels, they were handed clothes.
The material of this dress is very rough, but the texture is very good. It has a feeling that it is not afraid of stretching or pulling.
Wang Ka said: "What are you doing standing still? Put on clothes, do you think you look good now?"
So everyone started to get dressed.
After a few minutes, they were all dressed.
Now that everyone's clothes are exactly the same, Feng Jia feels a little confused about who is who.
Wang Ka pointed to his chest and said, "Look here, there is a number here."
Feng Jia looked at it and saw on his chest: 9527.
Wang Ka said: "This number is your name here, do you understand? In this place. You must completely break with the past, forget your identity, forget your name, you are just a string of numbers."
Everyone was silent.
Wang Ka said loudly: "Do you remember everything?"
Everyone said angrily: "Remember."
Wang Ka said loudly: "Do you remember everything? Louder."
Everyone shouted: "Remember!"
Wang Ka then said: "Let's go eat now."
Everyone followed Wang Ka for a few more steps and arrived at a huge restaurant.
There are many simple tables and chairs in the restaurant.
Wang Ka pointed to a table and said: "Get the plates from here and line up to eat. Everyone has only one chance, don't waste it. If I find anyone wasting it, they won't have to eat in the future."
So everyone took their plates and went to serve the rice.
The cooks were two old ladies. Serving everyone food with an impatient look.
When Feng Jia walked over, the old lady laughed and said, "What can you do at such an old age?"
Feng Jia lowered his head in shame.
The old lady gave him a big spoonful of something that looked like paste, but she didn't know what it was.
However, Feng Jia was already very hungry at this time. After sniffing it, he felt that it was fragrant.
After finishing their meal, everyone sat down.
Then he started to eat loudly.
After eating, Wang Ka took them to the dormitory again.
The dormitory has bunk beds, six people per room.
Only then did everyone understand why valuables must be placed in lockers. That's exactly what it should be.
It's fine now, everyone is wearing the same clothes and has the same things. No one has to worry about who is the thief.
After the lights were turned off at night, everyone couldn't help but start chatting.
What we talked about the most was lamenting this place.
Everyone agreed that this was indeed a good place.
Except for Wang Ka's bad temper, everything else is simply heaven on earth.
First of all, take care of yourself, this is very rare. No one needs to sleep on the streets.
Secondly, take care of your food. This is very rare. You don’t have to go hungry.
Again, don’t wear anything. This is very rare. You don’t have to be naked.
Finally, take a shower. This is very rare. After all, how hard is it to take a hot bath in this day and age?
Even Feng Jia thinks this place is very good.
Of course, they haven't started work yet.
If they go to the coal mine tomorrow, they will understand what the situation is like and whether it is paradise on earth.
