Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Four, You Are This Life
Chapter 134: This is your destiny
It turned out that they were catching a thief. It was not easy to run from the canyon to this place. With such a steep mountain and such dense forest, both of them were in a state of embarrassment. Xiang Xiaoli frowned at the young man and said, "This thing is not valuable outside.
It's just a personal hobby. There's no use in stealing it." Then he turned to Tian Hua and said, "The value of the case is too small, and it's not worth making a fuss about and sending to the police. But if you do something, you should bear the consequences. We can't leave this kind of thing in the mine.
Worker, send him away."
This is someone else's business, and the witness and physical evidence are being processed very clearly. No one else present can say anything. Xiang Tianhua turned around, twisted the young man's arm and shouted: "Come back with me, pack your things and leave!"
The young man wanted to struggle, but he couldn't get past him. Just as he turned around, You Fang suddenly shouted from behind: "Hua Youxian, your parents are looking for you in Chenzhou!"
When the young man heard this, his whole body trembled. He tried hard to turn around, but turned his face with difficulty. He wanted to speak but could not make a sound. Xiang Yinghua was also stunned and immediately said: "Mr. Rand, do you know him?... Tian
Hua, let him go quickly!"
At this moment, Taoist Qianbei, who had been watching indifferently with a wine gourd, suddenly opened his mouth and spit out a wine arrow, hitting Xiang Tianhua on the shoulder. The wine did not splash and soaked into his clothes. Xiang Tianhua let out a painful groan.
Hum, the body swayed, one arm hung down limply, and the wine flowed from the cuff and dripped down the fingers.
Almost at the same time, Xiang Xiaoli ducked out of the way, picked up the young man from a nearby place, and jumped back in front of everyone, freeing him from Xiang Tianhua's control.
Everyone was shocked. Xiang Xiaoli's body skills were very good. You Fang was not surprised. He had seen Xiang Zuohu's boxing and kicking skills. I think Mr. Xiaoli, who is equally famous as him, would not be any worse. But Qian Qian
The Taoist Master sprayed a sip of wine from a few meters away and was able to break Xiang Tianhua's spiritual protection and dislocate his shoulder. What a powerful force!
You Fang thought that his inner martial arts were already quite good. From this point of view, the Taoist Priest's inner strength was no less than his. If he really wanted to take action, this wine arrow would be an extremely powerful hidden weapon. If he was not prepared in advance,
Even Yu Fang has a hard time avoiding it in a fight. When internal martial arts reaches the level of externalizing strength, it is not impossible to break the master's secret method, but it is too difficult to reach this level!
"It's just stealing, there's no need to kill someone and silence him, right?" Seeing that Xiang Xiaoli had already snatched the person away, Taoist Qianbei put down his wine gourd and said coldly, then stopped talking.
It turned out that after You Fang spoke, Xiang Tianhua's expression changed drastically as he was walking down the mountain, and he made a very hidden movement on his hand. Most people couldn't tell what he wanted to do, but Taoist Qianbei immediately sensed the murderous intention and danger, and said nothing.
He took action directly. Xiang Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, wondering what Xiang Tianhua wanted to do. As soon as Taoist Qianbei took action, he immediately reacted and snatched the young man over.
Xiang Tianhua's face was ashen, and he asked a little tremblingly: "Second uncle, what are you doing?"
Xiang Yinghua stepped forward, pointed at him and said: "Tian Hua, what do you mean? He is just a child who steals things and is a worker in your mine. Even if you punish him too much, you can just drive him away. He is
Why do you want to kill people and silence them when you expose your identity? In front of so many comrades in the world, you must explain clearly today, and don’t quibble and say that Elder Qianbei saw it wrong, I can see it clearly too!"
Xiang Tianhua: "What's the matter? I didn't want to kill anyone at all. I just wanted him to be honest. What are you talking about?"
Xiang Yinghua: "An Jin attacks acupuncture points, transports spiritual consciousness directly into the brain, and impacts the soul to make people speechless and become idiots. Is this different from killing someone? What exactly do you not want him to say?"
Xiang Tianhua held his right arm with his left hand, a bead of cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and said in a pleading tone: "It concerns the secrets of my Xiang family. Please ask the master alone. You can punish me however you want. Just listen to me in private."
Please explain things clearly."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was a little embarrassed and surprised. They didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. Xiong Dawei whispered: "Master Xiang, do you need me to avoid you?"
The one who felt the most surprised was Xiang Xiaoli. At this moment, his face turned red and he shouted sternly: "In front of so many comrades, you are so vicious and yet you said something related to the secrets of the Xiang family. As the head of the sect, I,
How could you not know anything privately?... Comrades, there is no need to shy away, you must ask clearly today."
Having said that, he is also a person who knows the importance of things. He did not ask Xiang Tianhua in the first sentence, but turned to ask You Fang: "Brother Rand, do you know this thief, who is he?"
You Fang shook his head and said: "I don't know him, and I have never seen him, but I once saw a middle-aged couple looking for their missing son at Chenzhou Railway Station. I saw the missing person's flyer, and I remember that he looked similar to
I suddenly remembered his name when I saw him today. I felt it was very similar, so I called him out... If you don't believe it, you can make a phone call. It was left on the missing person flyer. I still remember it."
You Fang casually mentioned a mobile phone number. There are really warm-hearted and nosy people. Shen Shenyi, the head of the Nine Stars Sect, was the first to take out his mobile phone and dial the number. While talking, he walked up to Hua Youxian and said, "Hey, what is this?
Did you send out flyers to look for your son?... What is his name and what are his characteristics? When and where did he disappear?... Oh, I think I saw him in Suichuan, Jiangxi. Don't worry, I'll confirm if it's you.
Son, I will inform you later."
As soon as Shen Shen put down the phone, he rushed to Xiaoli and said, "Mr. Rand is right. This is indeed the case. Can I ask this kid a few words?"
Xiang Xiaoli patted Hua Youxian on the shoulder. The young man trembled and hurriedly left Xiang Xiaoli and hid beside You Fang. He said dumbly: "I am Hua Youxian!"
Shen Shenyi: "What are your parents' names?"
Hua Youxian: "My father's name is Hua Wangxian, and my mother's name is Liu Lingzhi."
Shen Shen sighed and said: "Master Xiang, don't worry too much. I just confirmed that what Mr. Rand said is true. I won't ask any more questions. If it really involves the secrets of the Xiang family, you can ask me to avoid it."
, I believe Master Xiang will be able to handle it properly."
The scene is frozen here. If you ask, you are worried that Xiang Tianhua will really reveal some secret scandals about the Xiang family. If you don't ask, it will make it appear that Xiang Xiaoli has something on his mind. And judging from the expressions of Taoist Qianbei and Mr. Rand, it is obvious that he does not want to
Let this matter go, with so many comrades here, Xiang Jia must not be allowed to deal with Hua Youxian on his own.
In order to show his magnanimity, Xiang Xiaoli turned around and said, "Brother Rand, since you recognized this kid, it's up to you to ask. There's no need to worry about what that beast Tian Hua said."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, You Fang sighed helplessly. In his ears, he only heard Taoist Qianbei whisper softly: "Brother Rand, just figure this out. Alas, this is your fate."
ah!"
What does this mean? Destiny, mission, or does it mean that You Fang always encounters unlucky things that have to come forward to offend others? You Fang waved to Hua Youxian and said as gently as possible: "Don't be afraid, we are good people, I'm here
Chenzhou also met your parents and promised to help them find you back. Can you tell me how you ended up here?"
This question brings up a big trap——
It turns out that this young man came out to work with his fellow villagers and met a group of "recruiters" at the Guangzhou Railway Station. They claimed that the treatment in their factory was very good, including food and housing, and the monthly salary was very high. However, the working conditions were difficult, and they had to dig in the mountains.
Honey, if the task is completed well, there will be additional bonuses. The fellow villagers were not interested, but Hua Youxian was tempted. He followed them by train to Chenzhou, and then changed cars to the tungsten mine in the mountains of Jiangxi Province.
Hua Youxian was accompanied by dozens of recruited workers, all aged 18 or 9, who came to Guangzhou from remote villages to find work. Most of them went out for the first time. They didn't know until they arrived.
I was deceived, and it was true that the food and accommodation were included. I had enough to eat every day, and I could even get a cabbage stew with slices of meat for three meals. However, the place I lived in was in a row of work sheds isolated from the outside world at the end of a deep mountain canyon.
A very secret cave has been dug in the deepest part of the canyon in the past two years. There is no economic value in mining the veins, and there is no concentrated tungsten sand belt. However, various mineral crystals grow in the rock cracks on the cave wall. If it is to mine mineral crystals,
, the cost of regular mining is very high.
People like Hua Youxian were put under house arrest as soon as they arrived here. They couldn't leave the yard of this work shed at all. They climbed the rock wall in the cave with special tools to mine mineral crystals every day. If they accidentally broke a complete crystal,
If you fail, you will be beaten, scolded and punished by the supervisor.
The large mineral crystal aggregates that are mined must be broken down into complete single crystal shapes as much as possible, and there will be special personnel to inspect them. If anyone picks the "treasure" and processes it completely, there will be a "reward" - the next day
Many chicken legs for dinner.
The working conditions are quite difficult and dangerous. The cave wall full of mineral crystals is like being covered with sharp knife edges. If you are not careful, you will be injured. Moreover, many mineral crystals grow in high places, so you have to set up a ladder or climb with bare hands.
Climbing, two workers once fell from a high place and rolled over the crystal bush. They were bleeding and dead on the spot. After the bodies were taken away, they didn’t know what to do with them. The foreman only said that they had sent the ashes home and returned them.
A huge pension, everyone should be careful when working in the future.
This work is done day and night, and there is no daylight in the cave anyway. You eat, sleep, and work when you wake up. When you are really tired, you continue to eat. After eating, you sleep and get up and continue working. It is endless.
Work in shifts. Everyone has an assigned task every day. If you fail to complete it, you will be punished. Moreover, this kind of work is not only dangerous, the environment is harsh, but the requirements are also very high. Even if the task is completed, other crystals in the mine are damaged.
They must also be punished, either by beating or scolding.
Some people didn't want to work anymore and wanted to run away, but they were caught and beaten half to death. There was no way to pay for the work. The foreman only said that after two years of work, it would be counted together, and there was no point in getting money here. Hua Youxian made a request, and he didn't want any money.
, can I send my wages home to my parents? The person in charge here promised to the boss and sent everyone’s home address and contact information, but they never saw the receipt of the remittance.
Hua Youxian is a smart and clever child, but he has no experience at all when traveling away from home for the first time, so he fell into this trap in a single thought. He can see that calculating wages after working for two years is bullshit, and he has seen the death of people with his own eyes
After seeing it, can these vicious foremen let them go? I'm afraid they will have to work here until they die.
But the supervision here is too strict. The three supervising foremen are all good at kung fu and have guys on hand. They are at the end of the canyon. The door leading to the outside mining area is always locked. The wall is very high and it is difficult to escape.
He had to go. He saw two companions who were trying to escape being beaten half to death. The foreman said that they were sent out to recuperate and then heard nothing more. Hua Youxian also understood that the two men were in danger and did not dare to reveal his intentions anymore.
means to escape.
On the contrary, he showed a very innocent and well-behaved look. He believed deeply in what the foreman said and often talked about his vision of a better life after making enough money to go home in two years. On the other hand, he was the hardest working among all the workers.
Seriously, he has the most flexible bones and the most skillful hands. Among the mineral crystals he mined, he picked the most "treasures" from his boss, so he also liked this child the most.
And he doesn't just accept the situation. In addition to believing in the foreman's words and working hard, he always finds more "treasures" after overfulfilling the task. He always makes various demands, such as asking for bonuses and asking for more sleep.
, let’s have some roast chicken and a bottle of wine to satisfy our cravings. Boss Xiang basically agreed as soon as he was happy.
As time went by, he became more familiar with the three foremen, so he didn't keep an eye on him so closely, and gradually relaxed his vigilance. Moreover, Hua Youxian had another advantage. After doing this job for a long time, he would naturally be able to watch him among a bunch of people.
From the seemingly perfect mineral crystals, picking out the "treasure" that may be what the boss wants is a feeling that is sometimes very unreliable, but sometimes very accurate.
Because of this, Xiang Tianhua was saved a lot of things, and he had more time to deal with his business outside, and the time to come was less and less. Hua was free to do the work of selecting crystal stones, and let him try his best to do it.
All the crystals that may be "treasures" have been picked out, including those mined by others. Xiang Tianhua only comes here regularly to check again among the selected batch of crystals and pick out the real "treasures".
All the mined crystals look similar to ordinary people, but often only one of the thousands of them is the "treasure" that the boss wants. Naturally, Hua Youxian cannot accurately identify it, but after he picked it up, roughly
There is only one among the hundreds, which greatly saves Xiang Tianhua's effort.
There is another characteristic of Hua Youxian's "skill". Although he cannot distinguish accurately, he will basically not miss it. And as long as he is absolutely sure, he is generally inseparable, but this kind of certainty is very rare.
few.
Maybe this is a spontaneous and unconscious talent? If you were to catch Yu Fang who had never practiced the secret technique back then, and do nothing else every day, just concentrate on doing this, you would probably be able to achieve this after practicing for more than half a year.
His ability is no less than that of Hua Youxian.
Later, Xiang Tianhua simply refused to let him go into the cave to mine, and he specialized in the work of screening mineral crystals. He was given good food, good food, and a separate work shed to live in. The treatment was obviously different from other workers, and he was even notified verbally that his salary would be increased.
Three times. Hua Youxian tried to get some cash, and Xiang Tianhua actually gave him money, but there was nowhere to spend the money in this place.
Hua Youxian's smartest move is to ask for money. Although he can't go out when he has money, he can ask three foremen to help him buy things, including food, drink, and necessities. There are also benefits in the process. Thank you very much.
After buying the things, everyone enjoyed them together. Hua Youxian was very generous. In the past three months, he spent almost all the 20,000 yuan in cash he had received, leaving only a few hundred yuan with him.
Xiang Tianhua was not there that day, but Hua Youxian picked a "treasure" from a pile of crystals. This crystal has eight sides and twelve edges, and its crystal shape is perfect. When exposed to the sun, there is no flaw inside.
. Then I walked into the cave and reached an absolutely dark place with no light, but I could see that it was emitting a very weak light blue fluorescence, which was just enough to illuminate fingerprints. It took more than ten minutes for it to darken. Then I took it out to the sunlight for a while.
Then we entered the cave again, and the situation was still the same.
Not only does this crystal absolutely meet the requirements in appearance, Hua Youxian feels from experience that it is definitely another "treasure"! Various "treasures" have appeared in this mine, but this kind of "treasure" has the largest number.
, Hua Youxian is the most experienced.
There has been no "treasure" in the mine for almost a month. I have urged the boss several times, and even the foreman scolded me. Many of the workers below have been beaten. He specifically informed Hua to send the treasure as soon as he found it.
When I had time, I took the crystal and went to see the three foremen. One of them was no longer going out to buy things, the other was carrying the guy to supervise the work in the mine, and the third was eating and guarding the door, so there was no manpower available to go out.
Hua Youxian smiled at the foreman guarding the door in a flattering tone: "Does Boss Xiang live near here? Just show me the way and let me deliver it to him. If you are happy, you can get a bonus."
As a reward, I can buy you a few more bottles of good wine, brother."
The foreman drank two too many drinks during the meal. When he was happy and confused, and he no longer had much vigilance about Hua Youxian, he opened the courtyard door and pointed ahead and said: "You see the white two-story building over there.
Yes? Yes, I can only see a corner. It’s less than a mile from here and then around the corner. Boss Xiang is there, probably eating. Go back quickly. If you want to reward me, you have to look at the boss.
If you're not happy, just order as much as you can!"
Hua Youxian went there happily with the tungsten stone, turned around the edge of the small building and disappeared from the sight of the foreman. He didn't know the situation here, and didn't know if the others were with Xiang Tianhua, so he didn't dare to rush
Instead of calling for help in this almost isolated canyon, he picked a relatively easy mountain wall and quickly climbed up, hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests.
Over the past year or so, Hua Youxian's body has not become weak. On the contrary, he is much stronger and more agile than when he first came here. He is especially good at climbing. This is also the result of deliberate training. He has survived such a difficult and dangerous environment in the mine.
Later, the "living benefits" were not bad, and he had already been preparing to escape.
