The strong man is uneducated and doesn't talk nonsense. He can finish his speech in three minutes.
For this group of small miners, Da Zhuangzi simply arranged two supervisors to take charge of management, two guys who didn't look like good people at first glance.
"Here, you have no names, only number plates. The mine recognizes the number plate but not the person. From now on, when eating and entering the mine, you will have to check the number plate. If you hold it, you will be punished if you lose it." A good paragraph,
The miner who spoke must have a fierce expression, which frightened the children into silence.
It is said that the inspection number plate is fake, but it is actually to facilitate registration. When you enter the mine, when you leave the mine, when you eat, how much work you do, you can quickly search. If someone hides, is lazy or escapes, you can also quickly search.
Be discovered soon.
Zhou Tai's group of children were first assigned numbers by two supervisors. Forty-five children were numbered one to forty-five, and Zhou Tai was numbered thirty-six.
After assigning number plates, we were shown a place to live, which was a row of wooden houses. In one room, there were two rows of large bunks, which could sleep dozens of people.
Seeing this situation, Zhou Tai decided to sleep on the side. If the person next to him farts, talks in his sleep, has stinky feet, etc., at least he will not be attacked from both sides.
I didn’t have any luggage, and I was taken directly to the dining area, just in time for dinner. Because there were so many people, they all ate in batches, so you had to queue up for a while.
Before eating, the supervisor in charge of them told them that they would come by themselves every time it was time to eat, and then left when work would begin tomorrow. He was quite anxious to leave.
Later, Zhou Tai found out that the supervisors ate at another place, and the food was much better than here. Whenever he went there, there were meals, because the supervisors had to have someone around them all the time, and a certain number of people had to be maintained. So the rotations were more frequent.
, but when it was only meal time, the food was relatively rich, so the two people left in a hurry.
When eating here, although the amount of food is sufficient, it is not enough to eat. At first, Zhoutai thought it was a buffet style, and he could eat as much as he could.
Thinking about the buffet, it is really open to the public for eating. I guess people here would not dare to do this.
But this is not bad news for children like me who are hungry all the time, because they are hungry all the time and basically never feel full. Once there is enough food, it is easy to eat too much, causing indigestion, and in serious cases, it is very possible to starve to death.
As he walked around, Zhou Tai also kept observing the situation here. The more he knew, the more possibilities he had to escape. How could his dream of cultivating immortality be trapped in a small mine? This place was destined to be his only life.
A point on the road.
You have to go, it’s just a matter of time or night.
The mine is located in a valley, surrounded by mountains. It is very steep in some places. There is only a small road as the exit. This only exit is heavily guarded, and there are sentries on the high mountains.
There were seventy or eighty guards in sight, and the miners were only some transported from the mine entrance, no less than two hundred people. Zhou Tai estimated that the total number of miners should be close to a thousand.
This is not an open-pit mine, but a mine vein that goes deep into the mountain. There are five or six large mine entrances in sight, and there are more small mine entrances, and they are intricate.
"This is a blind dig, and I'm not afraid of it collapsing." Zhou Tai complained silently in his heart.
I don’t know if this valley is the Yulin Mine that the fat man mentioned, or if this is just a part of a large mine. You must understand this clearly. Don’t try to escape and struggle to get out of here, only to find that the guards have just been replaced. Then
It gets cold very easily.
Work started on the next day. Zhou Tai was surprised that he didn't mention the time when he would start work. As a result, at dawn, two supervisors kicked in the door and called him.
After breakfast, everyone was given a small backpack. Their task was to go deep into the mine and carry out the ore mined by the miners. Some adult miners also transported it this way. The only difference was that adult miners carried large backpacks, and children carried them in large backpacks.
It's a small backpack.
"You think this is nonsense, Master? What can a whole bunch of children do when they come to the mine?" After seeing all the children entering the mine, one of the guards who was guarding the children complained.
"The young master means whatever he says. As long as the money is not bad, no matter what he does, there is no need to suppress these children too hard. Take your time and build up your strength first. If you do well, you may not be rewarded. If you kill them, they may be found.
It's bad luck for you and my brother," another guard replied.
"Brother, you are right." The first guard replied.
…
It was a simple day of carrying the ore. I don’t know if it was because I was full. I carried the ore five times in total, and I didn’t feel too tired. The number of five trips, no more, no less, is the middle number among all the children.
Moreover, Zhou Tai also found the opportunity to come into contact with some iron tools in the mine. The same things seemed to be made of iron, but among dozens or dozens, there were always one or two that could be strengthened.
I know it's just as I guessed, because special impurities were mixed in during smelting, or do items also have innate properties? It's usually something that can't be discovered?
It's a pity that I can only take a look, and there is no chance to get the iron tools for use yet.
He originally planned to study an escape plan after getting familiar with the place. Mining was impossible. But after a while, Zhou Tai decided not to leave for the time being.
It's not that he can't think of a plan to leave. If he wants to leave, there will always be a way. Mining is also a trivial matter. It's just that Zhou Tai found that when he had a full meal, his body developed better and better and his strength continued to increase.
Enhance.
Compared with his previous life, Zhou Tai suddenly thought that his body had been strengthened, and it was fully strengthened.
After thinking about it, I realized that if my body didn’t respond to the addition of some food before, it was probably due to malnutrition. After all, it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. If I hadn’t been able to eat enough here, I don’t know how long it would have taken for me to discover this problem that would normally have been discovered long ago.
So Zhou Tai decided not to leave for the time being. He would first take good care of himself and at least be able to protect himself. He could not be manipulated by just any adult man. From a young age until now, he has never realized that this is a world ruled by law. On the contrary, it is full of dangers.
I left here. In my current state, it is not easy to have a full meal. The future leader of the world of immortality has to sacrifice for a full meal!
"Heaven will confer great responsibilities on this people..." I recited this sentence silently in my heart to cheer myself up.
As for whether he should have a good relationship with some children, Zhou Tai decided to keep a distance from other children. It was not that he looked down on them or that he felt that
Immortal cultivators do not associate with the common people. After all, they are just like them now. Maybe some of them have their own destiny.
Because I have my own secret and it’s hard for others to discover it. If my relationship really gets better and my secret is discovered, I can’t do anything about it? To put it further, if I am cultivating immortality by myself, there are differences between immortals and mortals. I have to be good friends.
If you don't care about your descendants, will it affect your desire to cultivate immortality? To put it more closely, when you want to run away, do you want to take your friends with you?
If you don't take it with you, you will feel uncomfortable, and if you leave, the other party will be affected.
Bringing it with you is just a burden. If the woman is okay, she can still hold it to keep warm at night. The problem is that the only women here are in the kitchen, but the cook is only part-time.
Many overseers make money in the mine and spend it in the mine, you know.
…
two years later
…
In a winding mine, at the end of a forked road, a strange singing voice came out: "I am a happy little miner, hey hey hey..."
The one who sang the song was Zhou Tai. He was still working in the mine for two years, and because of his outstanding performance among the children, at his own strong request, he left the mine and started mining.
Because I don't make many friends, and I'm worried that I'm too autistic, Xiuxian will not get along well with fellow seniors and sisters in the future, so I have to sing to be active and maintain my mentality.
As for why I say I have a good relationship with my fellow seniors and juniors? Because seniors and juniors are all potential love rivals.
In the past two years, as he grew up and his health got better and better, Zhou Tai had an idea. When he was a great monk, he had big goals, but it took too long, so he set a small goal. When he was cultivating immortals, he had to find a fairy first.
Friends, as for delaying your cultivation? It will indeed delay your cultivation. How about a few more small goals? Share them?
These two years may be hardships for other children, but for Zhou Tai, it is really equivalent to exercising his body, so that when three years comes, he will be selected as a seed player who knows what it is like to be a woman.
There were dangers, too. The slave-like miners broke out violent resistance several times, and many people died each time, and then new miners were sent in to replenish them.
As for the child miners, there are 45 numbers, and there are still 30 left. They may have performed poorly or failed to meet certain expectations. Their batch is the only group of child miners.
I had accumulated a lot of strengthening points in the past two years, but I just used some nails to strengthen it again. Zhou Tai found that the third strengthening point used a hundred strengthening points in total.
The first time is one point, the second time is ten points, and the third time is one hundred points. Is it ten times the last point for each strengthening? And then it will cost one thousand points for further strengthening?
Zhou Tai doesn't have enough strengthening points. Even if he had enough, he wouldn't try. Strengthening points are very useful and should be reserved for critical moments.
As his body became stronger, he also tried to add more to his body, but still couldn't.
The nails that were strengthened for the third time became translucent, and their sharpness reached a new level. When tested with ore, they were easily penetrated. As for other special performances, no other special performance was found.
Do you have any plans to leave now?
No, I think I can just hang around for a while. I really am not waiting for the three-year reward. How can Zhou Tai, who aims to become an immortal, be so vulgar?
Everything is still under plan and everything is still under control.
While I was thinking this, the ground shook and I became unsteady.
The whole process lasted for a while, and when the shaking stopped, Zhou Taicai raised his head, which was covered by his arms, and picked up the oil lamp that illuminated the mine to observe the situation.
The good news is that although there was a rockfall just now, I was lucky and did not suffer any serious injuries.
The bad news is that I took the oil lamp and walked out, but before I got very far, I found that my way was blocked by falling rocks, and I was trapped in a mine of unknown depth.
