"Yes!" A man was carrying a plate with five fist-sized steamed buns in it. Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly took it over, stuffed three into his arms, and took one in each hand!
Then he was driven down. Zhao Xuanyi walked on the steps made of stones, eating steamed buns one bite at a time.
Zhao Xuanyi understood that this might be the best meal he would ever eat. After eating the first steamed bun, he looked at the one on his right hand and decided to put it away. He would probably starve a lot in the future!
Bigu handed the letter in his hand to a man
"Go to the capital and send it to Tayunxuan to see if the other party will pay you! Keep this person temporarily for the next few days, don't break it. Maybe he will still be a bastard who can spit out gold!"
"Yes!" Zhao Xuanyi came down from the height and received an iron pick and a bamboo basket for free.
"You, go to Team 7 now, and you will be on their side from now on!" said a man holding a whip.
"Hey, okay, um... where is the seventh group?" Zhao Xuanyi asked. 【Snapped! 】A whip hit Zhao Xuanyi on the back, and a burst of burning pain almost made Zhao Xuanyi faint. Zhao Xuanyi squatted on the ground in pain, and the man pointed in a direction with his hand.
"Why don't you run over there quickly? Are you lazy?"
"Don't dare! I'll go over right now!" Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly took the tool and ran towards the direction of the man's command. His arms were shaking as he walked. The pain on his back made Zhao Xuanyi almost shout out, thinking Zhu Yuejun, Zhu Yuejun, Zhu Yuejun, I will remember this whip for you.
You have given me such a dangerous task. When I go back, I will ride on my crotch and beat you back with a whip!
What the hell! As soon as Zhao Xuanyi ran into the crowd, he saw Tang Tianli and Shen Wei. They were holding bamboo baskets and seemed to have started working!
Seeing Zhao Xuanyi coming, the two of them hurried over.
"Young Master, are you okay?" Shen Wei asked. Zhao Xuanyi shook his head. The stinging sensation made his forehead drop with sweat. He reached out and took out two steamed buns from his arms.
"Eat quickly, don't let others find out!" Shen Wei and Tang Tianli took a look, hurriedly took it over, and ate it in three or five bites. Zhao Xuanyi looked around and saw that the people here were all skinny and skinny, and their eyes were dull. , it looked like this group of people had been trapped here for a long, long time.
Zhao Xuanyi looked around and found several men in red clothes staring at him, knowing that this was not the place to talk.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Follow us into the cave. The two of us will lift the soil outside, and you can dig the ground with them!" After Tang Tianli finished speaking, he pulled Zhao Xuanyi and followed the crowd into the cave!
After walking into the cave, other people looked surprised when they saw Zhao Xuanyi, Tang Tianli and others, because these three people were so well dressed, wearing silk ribbons, completely different from these poor people!
I accidentally took a second look! After Zhao Xuanyi entered the cave, he found that it was larger than expected. The frontier he just entered was a hundred meters square. The height difference was less than two meters. In some places, he had to lower his head to walk through!
Moreover, the lighting in the cave is good, there are many torches, and you can see clearly, but the smell inside is unpleasant, because it is suffocating, and everyone is sweating without taking a shower, so needless to say the smell!
Zhao Xuanyi followed the crowd and kept walking inside. He found that the cave was dug very deep. He had walked nearly three hundred meters and still hadn't reached the end yet. However, Zhao Xuanyi was a little surprised. After walking in the cave for so long, the smell was unpleasant. Smell, but breathing doesn't seem to be a big problem.
Looking at the torches on the wall that are still burning, there should be vents here, otherwise we have walked so far and breathing would not be so smooth. There are also a group of people holding whips in the cave, but these people are not wearing the same clothes. Red clothes, but shabby clothes!
Zhao Xuanyi deduced that this group of people was not the same group as the group above at all, but they were the managers selected from this group of hard laborers, so they took care of things in the cave!
Zhao Xuanyi came to a wall and saw dozens of people inside, both men and women. They were holding tools and digging soil on the wall. Zhao Xuanyi was very curious. Can aventurine be found here? ?
Is this really a gold mine? Zhao Xuanyi also followed suit and started digging on the wall with a tool. The man on the side looked at Zhao Xuanyi's clothes and couldn't help being stunned.
"New here?" the man asked.
"Ah, new here! I wonder what I call eldest brother?" Zhao Xuanyi asked with a smile.
"My name is Yang Huai. Judging from your appearance, you are also a wealthy man. Why are you here?" Yang Huai asked curiously.
"Am I...?" [Pa! 】 Before Zhao Xuanyi could finish speaking, a whip hit his back. Zhao Xuanyi fell to the ground instantly in pain!
【Snapped! 】 Yang Huai on the side also received a whip, but Yang Huai didn't say a word. It could be seen that he seemed to be used to it!
"Still lazy, hurry up and work, don't you want to live?" the man shouted loudly. When Tang Tianli saw that someone was calling Zhao Xuanyi, he immediately became angry.
"I see you don't want to live anymore!" A man stepped forward, grabbed the man who was wielding the whip, pushed him against the wall, raised his big fist, and punched the man on the head.
What kind of force was Tang Tianli? After three punches, the face of the man holding the whip was beaten to a bloody pulp. Tang Tianli felt angry and had no place to vent his anger. He punched more than ten times in a row and smashed the man's head. Throwing the man's body to the ground, he turned back and glared at everyone.
"Who else is dissatisfied?" Tang Tianli roared angrily, scaring everyone back. Only then did everyone understand that this tall man was not just talking, he really had a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
"Get out of the way! Don't you want to live anymore? Get out of the way!" A dozen people with whips in their hands ran over. When they saw a man lying on the ground with his head beaten to pieces, the group of people were also shocked.
Seeing the blood on Tang Tianli's hands, a man asked
"Did you do this?"
"It's me. If any of you are dissatisfied, come over and let's compete!" Tang Tianli shouted. The man saw it and smiled
"Brother, don't be angry. I can tell by looking at your clothes that you are new! So you don't know the rules here very well. Let's go! We have been talking about this matter for a long time. It is up to the people above to decide whether you dare to go with us or not. ?”
"Why don't you dare?" Tang Tianli looked fearless, and then followed these dozen people out of the cave.
When Zhao Xuanyi was about to speak, Shen Wei grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's hand and winked at Zhao Xuanyi to prevent Zhao Xuanyi from interfering. Zhao Xuanyi swallowed his anger and did not speak!
"What are you looking at? Work quickly, don't you want to eat?" Another man with a whip in his hand came over and ordered everyone to continue working!
Zhao Xuanyi had no choice but to pick up the tools and start working in the same way. He thought that he had lost money this time. Let alone let him kiss him, Zhu Yuejun let him sleep for one night. He was not willing to come here. Looking at the situation , it’s a bit difficult to go out!
Shen Wei stood beside Zhao Xuanyi
"Young Master, don't act rashly, let's see the situation clearly before we talk!"
"What the hell! Remember those people who hit me, and I will serve them well in the future!" Zhao Xuanyi gritted his teeth and said, others were princes turned into frogs, and he himself was turned into a general like a slave.
"Yes!" After Shen Wei said this, he also worked with Zhao Xuanyi! And Zhao Xuanyi spent the whole afternoon throwing away paint, not to mention gold, not even aventurine!
Moreover, Zhao Xuanyi found that most of the people couldn't find it. Since they couldn't find it, what would these people eat?
It wasn't until night, after the moon rose, that someone shouted
"It's time to eat, it's time to eat...!" Before Zhao Xuanyi could react, he saw all the people in the cave rushing out. At this time, their running speed did not look like they were weak at all, but they were racing to a hundred meters!
Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei slowly walked out of the cave. They saw everyone gathered together. Some people were eating something with a dark object in their hands. They couldn't tell what it was. Others were holding a broken bowl with something in it. There are still a few leaves in the clear water!
When Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei came to the place where they received their meals, they found that dozens of large buckets were empty, and there was no food at all!
This can't help but make Zhao Xuanyi very angry
"What the hell are you doing all day long without giving me anything to eat? Are you planning to starve people to death?" Yang Huai on the side saw Zhao Xuanyi being angry and smiled mockingly.
"Brother, the new arrivals have to starve for three days before they know the rules here. There is only so much food to eat every day. First come, first served. Naturally, there will be no food for those who come after you!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Yang Huai holding the food in his hand. Two black things that looked like steamed buns, and a bowl of water with a few willow leaves floating on them, I couldn't help but ask
"What are you eating?"
"This?" Yang Huai raised the black steamed bun in his hand
"This is called wild vegetable steamed bun. It's actually made from weeds on the mountain and steamed with a little corn flour. You're a newcomer, come and give it a try!" Yang Huai generously gave one to Zhao Xuanyi!
Zhao Xuanyi took it, looked at the green stuff, and took a bite. The smell of rotten grass roots filled his mouth. Zhao Xuanyi was not incapable of enduring hardship, but this thing was obviously not for people to eat. Zhao Xuanyi spat it out!
"Hey, hey, what? Is there anyone who wastes food like you?" Yang Huai said with a distressed look on his face.
"No? Are you rushing to eat this bitter and smelly thing?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Hahaha...!" Yang Huai sat on the stone and laughed.
"I see that you are neither a young master nor a young master. Don't worry. If you don't take it away in three days, I will take your name!" After Yang Huai finished speaking, he continued to eat his food!
At this time, the other man also laughed
"If you want to eat steamed buns or meat, go dig it yourself and dig out gold in exchange for one or two gold for a steamed bun!"
"Hahaha...!" Everyone around laughed when they saw Zhao Xuanyi. Shen Wei frowned, took the food in Zhao Xuanyi's hand, put it in his mouth and started eating, but he didn't vomit, he just frowned slightly, and swallowed it with nausea. If he wanted to live here, he had to Get over it!
Zhao Xuanyi remembered Tang Tianli
"Has any of you seen my brother? It's the tall one!"
"Him? Just wait, he should be back soon!" Yang Huai said with a smile. He seemed to know something, but he didn't speak!
Less than a quarter of an hour later, I saw a few people carrying Tang Tianli back. He threw it on the ground casually, turned around and left. Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei hurried over and took a closer look. Zhao Xuanyi couldn't help but hit him with anger!
I saw that Tang Tianli's back was beaten to pieces, and it looked like it was whipped. His clothes were all gone, his skin was torn, and blood was flowing. There was no good spot at all!
When Zhao Xuanyi saw this, his heart sank, and his eyes radiated murderous intent! Shen Wei grabbed Zhao Xuanyi's arm
"Don't worry, young master, it's just a flesh wound!" Zhao Xuanyi held back his breath, and he and Shen Wei lifted Tang Tianli aside and placed him on the flat ground. Zhao Xuanyi shook Tang Tianli's head.
"Tang Tianli, brother, tell me, how are you?" Tang Tianli woke up leisurely. After seeing Zhao Xuanyi, he closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Sir, there are too many of them. I defeated more than twenty, but there are still more than a hundred of them!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded lightly.
"It's okay, it's okay! You rest and stop talking! Don't worry, I won't let these guys go!" Zhao Xuanyi looked around warily, took out a steamed bun from his arms and put it on Tang Tianli's mouth
"Eat quickly!" Tang Tianli saw it and shook his head
"Master, I'm not hungry, I just feel pain!" Zhao Xuanyi put the steamed bun into his arms and patted Tang Tianli's head.
"Brother Ninja, as long as we live, they are nothing!" Tang Tianli let out a breath
"Don't worry, young master, who are we afraid of? Let me take a nap first!" After Tang Tianli finished speaking, he lay on the ground and fell asleep!
Zhao Xuanyi looked around and saw that there seemed to be no tent or place to sleep. He got up helplessly and came to Yang Huai's side again.
"Brother, where should we go to sleep?" Yang Huai looked at Zhao Xuanyi, then laughed and patted the ground with his hand.
"The sky is the quilt and the earth is the bed! In such a big place, you can sleep anywhere you want!"
