Chapter 556: A Different Miner
readx;?“ Not really, big brother. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info I'm not hungry!" Lin Chen said.
"Young man, why are you so stubborn?" the middle-aged man said, "I once saw with my own eyes that a newcomer was robbed of steamed buns, and then he had no strength to work and was beaten to death. ”
"What can you do if you don't eat it? After eating this steamed bun, you have to feel better, survive today, and tomorrow will be fine...... Next time, you must pay attention, after receiving the steamed buns, you must put them away, and it is best to eat them immediately!"
Lin Chen's eyes swept around, and only then did he notice that most of those miners were carefully hiding the steamed buns, for fear that the people around them would come and snatch them.
There are also some people who swallow the steamed buns in a big gulp after getting them.
"That'...... Okay!" Lin Chen saw that the middle-aged man was so concerned, and he couldn't refuse anymore, so he ate the steamed bun.
When the middle-aged man saw Lin Chen eating the steamed buns, he smiled and nodded.
"By the way, big brother, what do you call it?" Lin Chen looked at this person, he planned to get the information he wanted from this person.
"Me...... My name is Lao Huo, hehe...... People used to call me that, but here. No one will say hello to you. Lao Huo shook his head and said.
Lin Chen nodded helplessly, looking at the numb faces around him, these people used all their strength in mining, and they were reluctant to even speak.
Therefore, there is very little communication between miners and miners.
Everyone, every day, is mining, eating, sleeping, day after day, week after week, repeating monotonous, boring and extremely tiring things.
"Brother Lao Huo, may I ask ......" Just as Lin Chen wanted to ask something, a sudden knocking sound came.
"It's time to start!"
"Hurry up and get to work!"
Several soldiers walked in with long whips in hand.
One by one, the miners in the cave immediately got up and started mining again.
The guards swept around the area of the mine, and one of them asked, "There are no dead people today, right?"
"Not yet, two of them died in Mine Three today!" said another.
"Dead is dead! Soon a new batch of miners will be sent!" said the man, pointing at a few men casually as he stretched out his long whip, "you, you, you...... And you, send the ore out!"
The soldier pointed to four people.
Among these four people, there is Lao Huo.
All they had to do was to load the ore dug up by the miners, load it in bamboo baskets, and carry it out of the hole.
Lin Chen glanced at Lao Huo, and it happened that Lao Huo's gaze also fell on Lin Chen, he nodded slightly, and then got up and went to carry the ore with the other three.
Lin Chen continued to mine, and at the same time cultivated silently, the soul power in his body had already broken through the tendons and veins that were staggered all over his body.
Lao Huo and the three of them went in and out of the mine several times, and they had to carry heavy ore and walk through the damp and rugged mines, which was a very hard errand.
Sometimes, though, it's not so bad for these miners to be in charge of carrying ore, at least after they get out of the mine, they can desperately breathe a few breaths of fresh air outside.
The air in the mine is like that, but at least it's much better than in the mine.
Lin Chen is still mining, the ore is very hard, every time he digs with a pickaxe, his arm will shake back, but for Lin Chen, these are not worth mentioning.
Lao Huo returned to the mine for the sixth time, and this time he and another person collected the ore that Lin Chen had dug up.
"Little brother, your ore is bigger than other people's, I can bear it now!" Lao Huo joked and said to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled, he couldn't imagine that Lao Huo was still a person who was happy in his suffering.
I don't know, what is the reason for the old fire, it will be the turn of mining here.
"Hurry up, what do you say?"
A soldier with a leather whip walked over and shouted at Lao Huo, then glared at Lin Chen coldly.
Lao Huo immediately did not dare to speak again, silently picked up the ore, filled a basket, and carried it with another person to go out.
"Oops!"
Suddenly, Lao Huo screamed in pain, and he stepped on a stone, and his legs and feet slipped and fell to the ground, and the basket of ore also fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Look for death!"
The soldier with the leather whip immediately turned cold, walked over in a few steps, picked up the long whip in his hand and was about to whip it in the face of the old fire.
Old Fire closed his eyes, almost curled up in fright, and just as the whip was about to fall on him, a large hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the other end of the whip in his hand.
This hand is naturally Lin Chen's.
Lin Chen saw very clearly just now, although Lao Huo was stepping on a protruding stone, it was obviously because his legs and feet were trembling, so he didn't stand firm.
And the reason why his legs and feet tremble is because he has no strength, and he has no strength because he has eaten too little.
If Lao Huo hadn't given Lin Chen that steamed bun, but chose to eat it himself, it was very likely that he wouldn't have fallen today.
Therefore, seeing that this soldier was going to whip the old fire with a leather whip, it was naturally impossible for Lin Chen to pretend to turn a blind eye.
"What do you want to do?" The soldier couldn't help but be shocked and angry when he saw that Lin Chen actually grabbed his leather whip.
"Forget it, he didn't mean it, what's the use of you hitting him?" Lin Chen glanced at the soldier and said indifferently.
"Don't you let go, do you want to die?"
The soldier shouted angrily as he pulled the whip from his hand.
Lin Chen smiled indifferently, then let go of his five fingers, and the soldier who had been pulling hard was caught off guard, staggered back a few steps, and staggered before he could stand up in embarrassment.
"What a big bold!"
The soldier was immediately furious, and whipped his leather whip towards Lin Chen.
Lin Chen sneered, waved his hand lightly, and the leather whip was grabbed by him, and then Lin Chen secretly urged.
The soldier screamed in pain, and the leather whip fell into Lin Chen's hand.
"Is it enough?" Lin Chen's voice cooled and said, "He worked hard, what did he do wrong?
That soldier was already ashamed when Lin Chen snatched the whip in front of everyone, and when he heard Lin Chen's words at this time, he was even more angry.
However, judging from Lin Chen's means of snatching the leather whip, he was not sure that he would be able to subdue Lin Chen.
So, he simply snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the mine.
And just now, when the conflict between Lin Chen and the soldier broke out, Lao Huo and the other miners in the mine were all looking at Lin Chen.
However, no one said a word.
On the contrary, at this time, those miners looked at Lin Chen with strange expressions.
"Hey...... Little brother, I'm sorry, I hurt you!" said to Lin Chen guiltily.
