Memorize Chapter 089
boom! boom! boom!
"Come out, gophers, it's not like raising pigs to feed you every day... Come out quickly, you don't want me to wake you up with a whip..."
It was dark before dawn. The miners were awakened from their sleep by loud banging on the door and insults.
After whispering greetings to the female relatives of the other party, the miners rubbed their eyes and struggled to get up from the bed. Then it was a simple wash, and then walked to the mining area with the black bread that served as two meals.
"Ah..." David raised his head and yawned big, rubbed the wound on his chest and muttered, "Damn it, these damned guys slammed the door so loudly, it made me look ugly."
"Haha, you reacted too violently. Throw the bed over, tsk tsk, it's really you!"
David scratched his hair: "***, can this be my fault? I thought the pursuers were coming."
…Twain couldn't help but look at David who was beside him with a resentful expression on his face.
The supervisors came knocking on the door this morning, and David jumped down from the side of the bed, picked up the wooden bed next to him, and ran away with a roar... If Mi Xiu, who was sleeping next to him, quickly caught him, the bed might have been They've all been thrown out. The people in the same room were not woken up by the supervisor, but were completely awakened by David's roar, and then they all looked at him stupidly, speechless... "Hey, it's strange, look, why are there so many people in the sky? Birds are flying!" Seeing that the trend of ridicule has increased, David suddenly pointed to the sky in surprise and said.
"Haha, David, your ability to change the subject is too bad!" Someone saw through David's purpose and laughed mercilessly.
David blushed: "It was originally, you see. Uh, it even hit the mountain, you stupid bird!"
"Okay, okay, let's all go in, Old Bill is still waiting." Tang En waved everyone into the mine, and then raised his head unconsciously.
There were indeed many birds in the dark sky, but their flight paths appeared to be in disorder, and they seemed to be a little panicked. Tsk tsk, the early bird gets the worm, but at least your eyesight should be better... Mining is not a simple manual work, and newbies like Dun En and the others need to learn it for two days. When everyone walked to yesterday's passage, they saw Old Bill waiting there. There are a few people beside him who seem to have just arrived.
The old Bill was very excited to see Tang En and the others. After saying hello, he began to chatter again. The content was varied and everything. Yesterday, a miner was beaten to death with rare ore. His relatives asked him to do it. I won't do it after this year, etc.
Everyone was kicked up early in the morning, so their spirits were naturally not very good, so they responded one way or another. The old Bill didn't mind either, and he was still talking endlessly by himself.
After arriving at yesterday's mine tunnel, Old Bill finally remembered that there was still something to teach, so everyone's ears were cleared. The next step is the monotonous mining. Tang En is not very interested in this. He turned on the peeping skill and scanned around. After digging a few pieces of ore and showing them to Old Bill, the latter went to teach others.
They were going to stay here for a day today, so Tang En naturally didn't want to waste time, so he found a place to sit down, and took the opportunity to enter the space again. Then come out after a while and get another piece, which can be regarded as rest, training, and digging.
But just when Tang En entered the space for training again, the light curtain suddenly began to tremble. When I came out quickly, I felt the soles of my feet shaking slightly. This is...an earthquake?
"Everyone, don't panic." Old Bill spoke out to appease the flustered crowd, "It's just a slight shaking of the ground, which is normal in the mine, and you'll know after staying here for a long time."
Old Bill has been mining for many years, and his words are naturally convincing. This was indeed the case afterwards, and the trembling quickly calmed down.
Tang En frowned at this time, not to say that he didn't believe Old Bill, but after thinking about the tremors last night, he felt inexplicably uneasy. If there is an earthquake, in such an environment, no matter how powerful it is, it will be useless.
It shouldn't be such a coincidence... Tang En suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. It is useless to think about it now, because the miners are not allowed to leave the mine before the time comes. Next, Tang En never entered the space again, but chose to stay outside and pay attention to the movement around him.
But it might be true as the old butler said, in the next few hours, the ground remained calm.
At noon, uh, actually when they were hungry, everyone took a short rest and took out dry black bread to eat. At this moment, Linglingling... "Huh?" Everyone turned their heads collectively, staring at the ringing bell constantly shaking above the lighting crystal in the distance, a little dazed. The day is here so soon?
"Everyone, come out with me." Old Bill got up and said, "There may be something going on outside."
"situation?"
"Well, there may be many of these, and I'm not sure. Let's wait and see when we go out."
Being able to go out is naturally a good thing, Tang En was the first to go forward. I met many miners on the road, like streams slowly merging into the sea, and people from various branches poured out.
After walking for about half an hour, everyone left the mine. The mining area at this time seemed very restless. Soldiers in full armor had already assembled in the open space, and some war equipment had also been shipped out of the warehouse... After not seeing much, Tang En and the others were asked to go back to their respective cabins.
"Brother Arthur." Just after entering the cabin, Frey, who had already returned, greeted him.
"Frey, this is..." Dunn pointed to the outside and asked.
"Oh, it should be the mine grabbing, it has nothing to do with us." Frey said indifferently.
"Grabbing mines?"
"Yeah, brothers Arthur, you are new here, so you don't know anything. Everyone wants things like mineral veins, but there are only so many that have been discovered. Naturally, some people want to sit back and enjoy the benefits."
"Understood!" To put it bluntly, it is all the fault of profit, the ore is very valuable, grabbing any vein of mine is like grabbing a gold coin assembly line.
"This kind of thing happens almost once a month. When the other party can't fight, they will automatically retreat." After finishing speaking, Frey smiled, "This is also a good thing for us, at least we can rest for half a day. Haha ..."
"That's true!" Tang En nodded and smiled.
The mining area was attacked, and these miners naturally had to be managed in a unified way to avoid riots or fishing in troubled waters.
Soon, after everyone arrived, the door was locked outside. Except for Tang En and the others, everyone in the house was used to it. Some climbed into bed and began to sleep and rest, while others took out their tools to start a game, playing happily.
Damn, the defense is really strict... Hearing Frey said that this place is often attacked, Tang En still had some small ideas in his mind, but when he saw the guard soldiers constantly running outside, he couldn't help cursing secretly.
"Boss Arthur, do you want to play a few hands?" A strong man who ate and drank with them last night greeted.
"Hehe, thank you, let's play." Tang En shook his head and walked towards his bed.
After two hours like this, a person casually looked out the window and said in surprise, "Hey, why are there so few soldiers outside?"
"Yo, it's true. I must have encountered a problem. There are not enough manpower to transfer over."
"It's very possible! Hey, tell me, will this place be shot down?"
"It's none of our business, even if it is shot down, we are still miners, and those people won't reward you with more meat."
"Well, that's true!"
Hearing their conversation, Tang En walked to the window. Sure enough, there were only a few scattered squads of soldiers that were very dense just now, but there were still a large group of archers guarding the periphery. At this moment, clatter...the door lock was picked, and then the door was pushed open.
Everyone looked at the door, and saw a large group of people pouring in. It seemed that they had just been killed, and these people were more or less bloodstained, bang, bang—amid the constant sound of metal impacts, some soldiers threw piles of swords, guns and axes in front of everyone.
Immediately, a middle-aged strong man with a black beard came out and glanced around: "I don't want to say any nonsense, from now on you will be recruited. This is a weapon, you choose one and come out."
"Uh..." Everyone looked at each other, a little confused about the situation. The faces of some people wearing shackles changed slightly. Obviously, the battle outside must be tense, otherwise they would not have been thought of. This is like on the battlefield, sometimes prisoners are used to fight. Of course, these captives were all cannon fodder... The middle-aged man with a black beard didn't respond to anyone, frowned, and casually pointed: "You, come out and get a weapon!"
"I, I, I..." The man opened his mouth, looked at the pile of weapons in front of him, waved his hands, and backed away again and again.
Whoosh—bang!
A powerful arrow instantly pierced the man's forehead, and then flew him flying, hitting the wall.
Wow, everyone immediately went into a commotion when they saw this.
Squeaky, a group of archers bent their bows and pointed their arrows, and the crowd immediately fell silent again.
"Now, does anyone have an opinion?"
