The shaft, which is about 40 meters deep, is like a huge, dark mouth that is ready to bite people at any time.
In this well, it is said that not 100, but 80 workers died...
So much so that the workers secretly said that this well was actually a long, elephant-like demon underground.
The mouth of the well is the devil's long nose.
It will suck people's souls in...
Luo Xuan naturally sneered at such messages. However, most people who work in the mines are quite superstitious.
In this jade mine,
The laborers who worked in the wells and were captured lived a precarious life.
They were at a loss and their lives were in danger at any time, so they could only pray to the mountain gods, water gods, wood gods...whatever gods they had.
Anyway, you have to trust a few!
Otherwise, this heart will be empty and have nothing to rely on.
That will make people even more desperate, so that there is no hope of living at all...
Luo Xuan hung in mid-air.
In the ventilation duct next to it, the sound of strong air flow was "rumbling".
As the rope was stretched longer and longer, the whole person was accompanied by a huge roaring noise and the sound of air flowing in the ears.
The flowing air makes the cool and moist feeling at the bottom of the well.
It even makes people feel a bit shuddering, and brings it bit by bit. There are few people who can not be afraid in their hearts!
The light in front of me is getting darker and darker; the coolness underground is getting stronger and stronger.
A huge fear of death gradually enveloped Luo Xuan, who could neither reach the sky nor reach the ground...
Even Luo Xuan, who has an extremely powerful mind, will feel weak, helpless, and lonely in his heart at this time.
There is even a kind of psychological torture in which one is slowly walking toward death step by step...
It is conceivable that
Those workers went down to the well every day. How did they feel at that time?
Just like those prisoners being led to the execution platform.
The executioner, the sharp blade in his hand is very scary...but what is actually more frightening is: the guy raises the knife high, but never drops it.
During this period,
Not many prisoners can survive without a mental breakdown...
"puff--"
A soft sound.
It seems like a long, long time has passed.
Under Luo Xuan's feet, there was always a calm feeling of being on the ground.
This is the descent to the bottom of the well...
Turning on the overhead light above his head, Luo Xuan looked along the main lane ahead.
This method of mining jade from vertical shafts is called "shandongzi": in the season when there is not much rain, the jade diggers use the most primitive tools.
Like digging a well, dig into the ground.
After the stones are excavated, regardless of whether they are jade or not, they all have to be transported to the ground through iron pulleys.
Then the people above will go and carefully select them one by one to identify the rough jade stones among them.
This jade mine is a loss, and it uses "Shandongzi" to collect jade.
If it were a "diving cave", it would be countless times more dangerous than this kind of cave!
The dark and deep alley makes people shudder when looking at it.
On both sides of the alley, there are unprofessional support frames, which makes people even more frightened!
Looking at those crooked wooden shelves, Luo Xuan was afraid that these wooden pillars would "bang" at any time and completely collapse...
Bracing his scalp, Luo Xuan walked forward along the alley.
It wasn't until we walked a full 5,600 meters that we finally arrived at the jade mining working surface.
It's cold underground.
No matter what season it is, the temperature in such a deep mine is always only a few degrees.
In such a cold environment, goosebumps appear all over the body and last for a long time...
What is surprising is the dozens of workers working hard on this work surface.
Regardless of whether they were male or female, they only wore a thin piece of pocket cloth.
In such a low temperature environment,
These dark-skinned workers were still sweating profusely and panting.
Here, there is no distinction between men and women.
Only the level of status.
"Snapped--"
There was a crack of a whip and a "pop" all of a sudden.
Zhenggui was on the working surface, and a bloodstain suddenly opened on the shoulder of a female worker who was working hard to excavate stones...
"Ah...wuwuwu, hiss..."
The beaten female worker just screamed and immediately suppressed her own voice.
I only dared to sob twice, then sucked in a breath of cold air, endured the heartbreaking pain, and continued to work with tears in my eyes...
As for the person who violently raped the female worker, he was actually just a piggy that was captured... It's just that he was appointed as a small foreman underground by the mine management cadres.
Such a beast!
As soon as he had a little power in his hands, he took pleasure in destroying those workers who were as pitiful as himself...
The most hateful person in the world is this guy!
There are some ants down there.
There is no one he can't afford to offend.
Just because of those guys who act as armed guards at the jade mine.
They are all senior managers, hired with huge sums of money.
The jade mine couldn't bear to let those armed gangsters go down the mines and watch the workers at work!
It doesn't matter if 8 out of 10 piggies die.
But if an armed guard dies, the compensation from the jade mine will not be a small sum...
When Luo Xuan saw the guy who was beating someone, he was half-kneeling on the work surface, raising the whip in his hand and aiming at the female worker's chest...
This donkey!
He also wanted to continue beating the female worker in front of him for fun!
Luo Xuan stretched out his hand, grabbed the donkey's wrist, and then squeezed it secretly...
"ah--"
Screams rang out!
With the echo from the alleyway, this scream was suddenly amplified several times!
The side roads nearby were soon filled with that guy's howling...
"Ah...let it go, let it go!"
The guy who hit the person turned around and glared at Luo Xuan, "You are riding a buffalo! Do you want to be made into cow soup... Let go!"
"Dongdongdong——"
There were bursts of footsteps in the alleyway. These were the little foremen who came down to the well to monitor the work of the other workers.
They heard the noise and wanted to run over to find out.
"Let go!"
One of the little foremen raised the stick in his hand and threatened in a stern voice, "Do you want to die? Mr. Snake is an old man, and he hasn't skinned others for a long time..."
Luo Xuan put his hand hard and heard a "kacha" sound... That guy's wrist had been pinched off by Luo Xuan!
"I am the person sent by the mine to investigate the distribution of jade, and I am also responsible for identifying the rough stones."
Luo Xuan hunched over and turned around slowly, "Are you sure you want to beat me to death at the bottom of the well?"
"this..."
The little foreman who raised the stick hesitated and said, "Those people responsible for appraising the jade are all hired by the mine at a huge price! They don't even go down the mine... You, why are you down here?"
Luo Xuan sighed, "I was also caught as a piglet. Fortunately, I can identify rough stones... Is there any problem with this?"
The little foreman suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are the real unlucky guy!
It’s not easy for you to master this skill, but you become a free laborer... Brother, you are really bad!"
"Go to work."
Luo Xuan didn't want to pay attention to these minions, but carefully felt the fluctuations in the space, hoping to find out the clues of the jade.
Since Luo Xuan was sent by the mine to search for jade underground, he also had a part-time job and was responsible for appraising jade.
Although Luo Xuan's identity is actually no different from those of the workers underground.
But in the eyes of the managers at the mine, Luo Xuan is undoubtedly better than these ants underground.
Much more valuable!
Not to mention that underground, Luo Xuan just broke the wrist of a humble little foreman.
Even if it was just a stone, he would be smashed to death at the bottom of the well! The person in charge of the mine could only scold Luo Xuan a few times.
But they will never, because of the life and death of a mere worker, make Luo Xuan's tortured life unable to take care of themselves...
Several small foremen turned and left.
Even the guy who rolled to the ground, still there covering his wrist and howling miserably, no one paid attention to him.
There was even a small foreman who listened really impatiently.
He turned around and kicked the guy hard, and yelled: "What's your name? If you scare away one of the patron saints in the well... I'll see if everyone doesn't join forces and beat you to death!"
The patron saint mentioned by the little foreman is actually a mouse.
This thing will hate whoever it goes into.
But rats in mines symbolize safety in the eyes of miners.
If rats are wandering around the mine leisurely, it means everything is safe.
But if the rats start squeaking and scurrying around in panic...then run away!
in the mine,
Some unexpected dangers will definitely happen next!
"Ding ding dong dong——"
On the working surface, dozens of male and female workers were sweating profusely and working hard to carve out stones from the mud.
Luo Xuan squatted on the ground, carefully feeling the fluctuations of space...
It is not that easy to dig out jade.
There are a total of 6 working surfaces in this well, with more than 100 workers. Sometimes, so many people are busy for a whole day.
I couldn't find a piece of jade, even one as big as an egg.
The laborers dug for a while...
"stop!"
Luo Xuan shouted, "On the right...keep digging to the right."
"Kachakacha—"
The workers did as they were told and dug deeper in the direction pointed by Luo Xuan.
After a while.
The workers have dug in to a depth of more than 2 feet and have unearthed a lot of rocks.
But Luo Xuan always shook his head and asked everyone to continue digging...
"Brother... take a look, is this jade?"
A worker removed the stone embedded in the soil and showed it to Luo Xuan.
There was a faint reaction in the space, but it was not strong.
Luo Xuan pointed to the depression over there, "You dig out the rock that is only exposed a little bit."
Before long,
A stone the size of an egg was successfully removed by the workers.
"This is it!"
Luo Xuan patted the beaten female worker and said, "Send it to the ground and ask the jade appraiser above to take a good look at it... If it's jade, the credit will be yours."
The female worker was overjoyed, "Thank you...Thank you, Mr. Pu, for your gift!"
There are rules in the jade mine: whoever digs out jade will get a reward of varying sizes.
The jade I just dug out is not of high quality and not very big.
So the reaction in my own space is not strong.
But it must be a piece of jade! Luo Xuan was very sure about this.
As for letting the female worker in front of me take the credit... there is no way, who told her to be the girl who slept next to him last night?
