Chapter 9 Mineral Veins

Only the last one left, Wang Xiaoma, jumped out of the fence, ran a few hundred meters in a panic, and fell to the ground.

Wang Yu approached slowly with an expressionless face.

"No, no, my elder brother, he, he is also a warrior. If you do anything to me, he, he will never let you go."

Wang Xiaoma said in a panic.

This sounded like a threat, but also like panicked nonsense.

Wang Yu narrowed his eyes, stretched out his hand to grab Wang Xiaoma's collar, and lifted him up easily.

He raised his hand and punched Wang Xiaoma in the abdomen, almost knocking him out.

He curled up in pain and could no longer speak.

Wang Yu picked him up with one hand and dragged him back to Meng Laoer's yard.

"Uncle Meng, if this person is the mastermind, just kill him and bury him outside the town to end it all, so that he won't come to retaliate against you in the future."

The burning pain in Wang Xiaoma's abdomen eased slightly, and he heard Wang Yu's voice.

The plan was to kill him and bury his body. He was completely panicked.

"This is not good. After all, this is an island town. If we are found out, we are all doomed."

This was the voice of Meng Laoer. He seemed to be very hesitant and could not do such a thing.

"What's wrong with it? Have you forgotten what he wanted to do to your family before? As long as we are clean, it is common for a few people to die in this wilderness. It is not a pity for such a person to die."

Wang Xiaoma trembled all over when he heard it. He was almost scared to pee. He didn't have any spirit before. He begged for mercy before Wang Yu took action.

Wang Yu looked at him coldly, raised his foot and stepped on Wang Xiaoma's waist, almost breaking his waist.

In fact, he said this just to scare the other party and facilitate the subsequent torture.

"Name?" Wang Yu asked after Wang Xiaoma was in pain.

"I, my name is Wang Xiaoma..."

Wang Xiaoma had lost his will to resist after being tortured like this. Facing Wang Yu's interrogation, he told everything.

Soon, Wang Yu found out the details of this group of people.

They were the vagrants in the Nanshan Mausoleum area, commonly known as ruffians.

On weekdays, they extorted some ordinary people and robbed them of small money.

Wang Xiaoma was the leader of this group of ruffians. He had an older brother named Wang Feng.

In his early years, he went to other island towns to hang around for a while. Unexpectedly, when he came back, he became a real warrior.

The reason why he took action to rob Meng Laoer's real estate and land this time was also instructed by Wang Feng.

"What is your brother's cultivation?" Wang Yu continued to interrogate.

"Forging, forging the second level..." Wang Xiaoma replied timidly.

"Why does he want to rob the real estate here?"

Wang Xiaoma hesitated when he heard this question, until he saw Wang Yu's face became fierce again, then he hurriedly answered.

"I, I also heard it from my eldest brother himself, because there is a mineral vein under this ground.

He said it is very valuable, so we should not make it public and occupy this land first."

Wang Yu and Meng Laoer looked at each other. After hearing about the mineral vein, both of them changed their faces. Meng Laoer's breathing became more rapid and his heart was beating wildly.

They were all miners, so they naturally knew the value behind a mineral vein.

No matter what kind of mineral vein it is, as long as it is discovered, it is tantamount to discovering a treasure land.

"Where is the mineral vein?!" Wang Yu said coldly.

Wang Xiaoma made a bitter face and trembled: "I really don't know this, brother, uncle, please let me go."

Wang Yu ignored the other party's pleading and hammered him again to confirm that he really didn't know before stopping.

"Xiao Yu!" Meng Laoer didn't know what to do for a moment.

There was a mineral vein under his house, and this news was too shocking for him.

Even Wang Yu didn't expect this reason, which was beyond his expectation.

"Uncle Meng, don't worry, this matter has to be confirmed first." Wang Yu said.

If the mineral vein was not found, this matter might be a fabrication by Wang Xiaoma's elder brother. After all, it is necessary to see the signs of the mineral vein with one's own eyes to explain everything.

Then, he simply tied up the gangsters with thick ropes with Meng Laoer.

In order to ensure the authenticity of what Wang Xiaoma said, Wang Yu then questioned the other gangsters separately.

What they said was basically the same as what Wang Xiaoma said, but they didn't know about the mineral vein and Wang Feng's cultivation strength.

"But how did Wang Feng know that there was a mineral vein here?" Meng Laoer frowned.

Wang Yu looked around and said, "This piece of land is only this big, Uncle Meng, let's look for it."

"Okay!"

Meng Laoer first asked his wife to take his youngest son away, and then the two began to turn the land inside and out.

In a short while, Meng Laoer found clues in the backyard field he had just reclaimed.

"Xiao Yu!"

Wang Yu heard the call and immediately went to the backyard.

The backyard of Meng Laoer's house was all the fields he had reclaimed himself, originally planning to plant some fruits and vegetables.

The fields extended to the foot of the low mountain and bordered a steep slope.

At this time, Meng Laoer stared at the steep slope.

"Xiaoyu, smell it, is there any smell?" Meng Laoer touched the steep slope and said quickly.

Wang Yu heard this and moved closer.

Under the second level of body forging, his body functions have undergone two transformations, and his sense of smell is much more sensitive.

He immediately smelled a special smell that was a bit of soil mixed with copper rust.

"Yes!" Wang Yu's heart moved.

He smelled this smell a lot when he was working in the mine!

"I smelled it when I was turning the soil a few days ago. I thought it was the residual effect of staying in the mine for too long.

But now it seems that there may be a mineral vein here!"

Meng Laoer felt hot all over, touched the steep slope, and suddenly raised the iron hoe and knocked it at a corner of the steep slope.

Clang!

Several pieces of rubble were smashed and fell, revealing the surface of the rock inside.

There were some faint purple lines in the blue-gray color.

"This is it!" Meng Laoer stretched out his fingers and rubbed the purple lines for a while, then put it under his nose and smelled it.

"It's actually a purple coal mine!" Meng Laoer had much more mining experience than Wang Yu, and recognized the type of ore in front of him at a glance.

"Look at this short mountain. Even if there is a purple coal vein here, the size should be limited, and I don't know how much it can produce."

After a simple survey, Meng Laoer said in a concentrated voice.

His mood at this time was very complicated.

He was excited and ecstatic, but also worried.

He was excited that there was really a vein in his own land, but he was worried that the vein was still unknown for him.

Now someone has coveted this vein, and even forced his family of three to surrender for this.

Once the news of this vein leaked out, it would be known to more people.

There is no guarantee that someone will not take risks and endanger the lives of their family for this vein.

This vein is a bit hot for him.

"Xiao Yu, you, what do you think uncle should do..." After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Lao Er still instinctively asked Wang Yu.

Just now, Wang Yu easily dealt with this group of thugs, and the strong fighting power he showed made him feel a lot of security.

Wang Yu naturally knew that this was not a trivial matter, and the appearance of the vein had long exceeded the scope of the commission.

"Uncle Meng, you also know that if there is no strong man to protect you, you may not be able to keep this vein, and you can't keep it secret for long." Wang Yu said.

"I know this." Meng Lao Er sighed repeatedly.

Even if you want to mine privately, the noise caused cannot be small, and there is also a powerful warrior like Wang Yu who is watching outside.

Too dangerous!

It's really uncomfortable to have a treasure mountain but not be able to take it for yourself.

"Then we can only hand over the mineral vein to the government. It should be exchanged for some money, which is better than nothing." Wang Yu suggested.

But in fact, the reward subsidy given by the government is unlikely to be much. It depends on the conscience of local officials. It is far less than the value of a mineral vein.

Meng Laoer clenched the hoe in his hand, staring at the lavender lines on the rock in front of him, and hesitated to make this decision.

Everyone has desires. With such a huge wealth in front of them, how many people can keep their sanity and give it up.

Especially poor people like Meng Laoer.
