The production of special stones is limited, and it is normal to not be able to dig them out for three or four days.
The monks also changed from paying silver on a daily basis to paying based on the amount of ore turned in. Moreover, the monks no longer live there permanently and only come to collect them every ten days and a half.
Fortunately, the woman in white is very lucky. She can dig out a stone every day with a pickaxe, and the number is getting bigger and bigger.
It's just that things are not going well for other people in the village. There are fewer and fewer stones that can be dug. Those stones seem to have spirits. As soon as the woman in white arrives at the mine, she will take the initiative to jump out.
It was confirmed that there was no special stone in the dug area, but when the woman in white kicked it with her foot, one would fly out.
Grandpa really felt sorry for him. They were all from the same village and couldn't do such a great job, so he agreed that the woman in white could only go to the mine once every four days. And it will also take care of villagers who cannot dig stones.
So the woman in white began to have some leisure time, and spent the rest of her time farming, learning to sew and mend clothes from her neighbor's aunt.
However, due to the "simple folk customs" in the village and the woman's waist-length white hair, the news gradually spread that the woman in white was a monster, and the whole family began to have their backs stabbed.
As a result, Wang Ergou had more and more fights. Ergou was born prematurely, so his body was weak and he often got sick. But since the woman in white came, Ergou became stronger and stronger and never got sick again.
Ergou and Grandpa will not think that the woman in white is a monster. This is their lucky star.
But only Ergou knew that his health had improved because of those strange light spots. It's just that the light spots suddenly disappeared recently, which made Ergou exclaim that it was a pity.
"Sister, it's time to eat!" Ergou ran to the back hill and shouted to the woman in white who was washing clothes here.
The originally slow-moving woman in white became excited when she heard this. She washed and wrung out the clothes in a swish, and even used too much force and even broke a piece of clothing.
"Hurry up, come home for dinner!" The woman in white kept urging him, but Ergou, who had been running over, was now weak and walking slowly.
The woman in white who was still smiling and waiting for Ergou suddenly darkened her face and said, "Ergou, something happened at home."
"Everyone, please be quiet. We are here to do only three things: rocks, rocks, and rocks."
"Masters, we handed over the stones a few days ago, but we don't have them now!"
"Yes, yes, we have it~"
Before he could finish speaking, the man's neck was chopped off with a knife.
"Don't talk nonsense to us. I don't know your little tricks. Just put the stones into the box in a proper manner. If it's not full, you just wait to die!"
At this time, the whole village was kneeling together. Dozens of bandits with a bloody smell on their bodies, holding bright weapons, surrounded the village.
Dead people, dead people.
The villagers were so panicked that they quickly returned home and put the stones they had hoarded into the box. However, the box was unusually large and the villagers did not have much stock. In the end, it was only half filled.
The bandit leader glanced at the box and said, "You are so rude. We traveled all the way to get here, and you treat us like this? This half box of rocks is just for the beggars!"
The leader glanced at it, and saw that several bandits on the side randomly selected a lucky villager, and Kurtz stabbed him.
"I'll give you an example. This is the price of not filling the box. From now on, I will kill one every once in a while until the box is filled."
The bandits looked around, and every villager dared not raise his head.
The time was up, and the bandits pulled out a person from the crowd. The person shouted for help at the top of his lungs, but now everyone was in danger and had too much time to take care of themselves.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I know where the rocks are."
Before the bandits could ask, the man pointed at Wang Ergou's grandfather, "There must be some stones that they haven't taken out. Masters, this family can dig out a lot of stones every time they go to the mines. They are much better than this box." There’s more.”
"Wang Chong, you are also a member of the village. You cannot ignore death. Your family must have hidden a lot of stones. If you don't take them out now, why don't you wait until we are all dead?"
"That's right. If you don't take out the stones even though you have them at home, I already know that this family has no good intentions. This disaster may have been caused by the female ghost he raised."
"Old Wang, please take out the stone quickly. You can't be too selfish."
Wang Chong has been honest all his life, but he didn't expect to encounter something like this today.
The bandit didn't waste any time. He directly picked up the old Grandpa Wang and gave him a few slaps. "This is just a lesson. Take out the stone right away."
Wang Chong kept pleading with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, "Masters, please do well. We really don't have any stones at home. Most of the boxes in this box were given to us by my family. If you don't believe me, you can go back with me and look carefully. There are really no stones left. "
The leader nodded, and several bandits rushed into Wang's house and turned it upside down. Indeed, there were no stones.
"A bunch of trash, there are so many people, you can't even fill a box, tell me what's the point of living, send these useless people to the underworld to enjoy happiness!"
It was inevitable that no one would be left alive. After all, if someone outside found out about the robbery of the stone, he would become a target of public criticism.
"Masters, don't do anything yet. I know how to get stones quickly."
The leader said interestingly, "Stop, what can I do?"
"Can I change my life if I tell you?"
"Do you think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
A cool figure behind this person quickly said, "There is a child bride in the Wang family. She is a monster. Every time she goes to the mine and digs a few times, she will get a lot of stones. As long as you take that woman to the mine, it will take half a day. , this box can be filled in an hour, and there may even be more.”
"There are other things like this. It turns out that the person in the rumors is in this village. I didn't expect that it was unexpected." The leader's mouth tilted, and there was an unexpected gain.
"Uncle, what do you think of my life?"
"Hmph, even if we can get the ore quickly, it's all the work of the woman in white and the Wang family. What does it have to do with you?"
The leader slashed the man to death, came to Wang Chong's side, and stepped on his head with his foot.
"Who is Su Luoxue? If you come out now, I can consider sparing your life."
The villagers also raised their heads to check, but they never saw him.
"You won't come out, right? Then this person~"
"Uncle, I don't want it. The child is not in the village. She went to another village to buy things." Wang Chong now hopes that Ergou and the woman in white will come back later, or hide if they see anything unusual in the village.
Under the current situation, it is difficult for people in the village to survive, but as long as Ergou is still outside, the bloodline of the Wang family will not be cut off.
"Not here? What's the use of you?" The bandit leader snorted coldly and stabbed Wang Chong with the long sword in his hand.
At the critical moment, a woman in white clothes with white hair stretched out her hand to hold the sword. She was also holding Wang Ergou in her left hand.
"Why do you want to hurt people for no reason?" The woman in white used her right hand to crush the sword into pieces. Her right hand was still white and tender, without any wounds.
