Chapter 101 Mine Road
It was the second half of the night, and the whereabouts happened to be hidden in the dark night. Liu Da led He Lingjiang and his party to sneak around the back of the mine.

He stood adjacent to the two mountains and pointed halfway up the mountain: "The mine should be there, but it is blocked by grass and trees in the mountains, so I don't know the exact location."

The mountain was dark, only the cold moonlight streamed down, and the shadow of the mountain could be vaguely seen.

He Lingjiang raised his eyes and looked over: "I've troubled Liu Jialang, we will check the rest, you go back first."

Liu Da hesitated for a moment, but still said, "How about I stay and let it go for you? Those people should choose to transport the ore at night. If they come and go, it will be bad if they find someone breaking in."

He Lingjiang knew his good intentions, but he still politely refused: "You are from the mining area. If you accidentally show your face, it is even more dangerous. Let's come, so as not to involve you again at that time."

"Just before entering the mountain, I have sent someone to notify Sun Juncheng to send someone secretly, and I have left someone to protect you secretly. You should stabilize yourselves, and don't let people notice that something is wrong and bring disaster."

Hearing her arrangement, Liu Da felt a little more at ease.

He went back first, stabilized Qian Wu and the two, and tried to hide what Xiao Si did not see.

He Lingjiang led the people to climb up to the halfway up the mountain, and by the moonlight, he found a hole in a hidden place, which was also covered by messy vegetation.

"Qi Niangzi, let me bring someone in. You wait outside first." He Zheng was still worried about the danger inside, so it would be better for their subordinates to find out the truth first.

He Lingjiang shook his head: "Since I'm here, I always have to explore it myself. The mine is not spacious, so there is no need for so many people to go in. You follow me, and the others hide around the entrance of the cave, staring secretly. If there is any change, we will notify you later.”

He Zheng clenched his fists, and as soon as he waved his hand, the rest of the people scattered around and spread out along the hidden mountain road.

Qingzhu is also guarding around the entrance of the cave, ready to respond.

He Lingjiang bent down slightly, and together with He Zheng, brushed away the weeds that covered the entrance of the hole, and got into the hole.

The entrance of the hole is not spacious, only two people can enter side by side, and it is dark inside, and you can't see your fingers.

He Lingjiang took out two night pearls and held them in the palm of his hand, squeezed a few tricks in his hands, and then handed one to He Zheng.

Under the light of Yingying pearls, the two of them could roughly see the whole picture of the cave.

The walls of the cave are rugged and narrow at first, but gradually become wider after a few steps forward, and the shape resembles a horizontal urn.

However, after only ten steps, the hole was bottomed out.

If someone enters this place by mistake, it will only be regarded as an ordinary cave.

It's just that Xiao Si said that those few people disappeared around here. They looked around and didn't see any abnormality. Only this place, under the cover of vegetation, was a hidden cave.

He Lingjiang squatted down, picked up a piece of gravel that had fallen to the ground, and looked under the bright pearl. There was a blue-purple spot on the corner of the small stone. Discoloration after prolonged exposure to air.

"This is."

She threw down the stone, walked to the stone wall, and held up the pearl to take a closer look.

The stone wall in front of you looks ordinary, and it also has the uneven feeling of the mountain wall.
He Zheng stretched out his hand and groped around the stone wall. Suddenly, he called out softly, "Qi Niangzi."

It is an organ on the stone wall!
He Lingjiang's eyes were slightly deep, and he nodded at He Zheng.

When he pushed hard with his hand, he saw the stone wall in the center move slightly, spinning along the central axis, revealing two gaps for people to pass through.

The revolving stone gate was actually disguised as a stone wall!

After the two of them entered, He Zheng pushed Shimen back into the distance.

Entering from this is really entering the mine.

Compared to the other side of the stone wall, this place is much brighter, with several oil lamps hanging around the stone wall.

The stone wall was sealed here, and He Lingjiang was not curious about how they were ventilated, so he looked up and found that there were many holes around the stone wall.

It's just that these holes are small, and they didn't notice it when they were looking for the entrance to the mine.

This is the entrance and exit of the mine, but it is quite spacious. From here, it can be seen that five or six secret passages extend in different directions and extend to the depths of the mountain.

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows and clicked on the main mine on the far left. The direction of this mine looked quite different from other mines: "Let's go and have a look."

He Zheng followed behind her, and the two quietly went to the depths of the mine tunnel.

This main mine road is quite spacious, and every ten steps, an oil lamp hangs on the stone wall for illumination.

There are many narrow mine passages on both sides of the main road, which were dug out by miners for mining and extraction, and only one person can pass through while lying down.

"Qi Niangzi, I'll go in and have a look." He Zheng said.

He Lingjiang nodded slightly.

Not long after, he saw He Zheng burrowing out of the narrow tunnel: "No one is in it, this place should be the waste tunnel after the miners have mined it."

"Then let's move on."

Going forward along the main mine road, I saw people walking among them. He Lingjiang and He Zheng each avoided the narrow mine road to the side, and they heard someone talking outside.

"How, how much did you go out today?"

Another voice sighed and replied, "After digging for a whole day, only sixty or seventy catties of copper material came out."

It's really not much, because of this, the reward money I get will also be a little less.

Previously, the man unloaded his backpack and comforted him: "It's not too much, and I'm less than a hundred catties. We're not a big head here."

"Yes." Another person sighed, "Although this mountain range is connected to the Nanshan mining area, it is not rich in copper mines. The copper materials here are only mined together, and it is not bad to be able to mine so much. ."

"I'm just envious of the other places. After spending a day in this mountain as well, they'll come out with a lot more stuff than us, and they'll get more money than us."

"Be content. For copper mining, the wages here are much higher than those in the Nanshan mining area. As for how much we can mine each day, it is not within your control. The daily wages are fixed, but It’s just a matter of taking less reward money, that’s fine.”

"Yes." The man and him poured the ore in the back basket on the ground of the main mine, picked up the empty basket, and continued to drill into the narrow tunnel to get busy.

The main mine road suddenly became quiet.

He Lingjiang, who was hiding in the dark, paused for a few breaths. Seeing that there was no sound coming, he turned sideways out of the mine.

In the middle of the main mine road, there are many ore mined, waiting for the person in charge of transportation to come and deliver it.

She knelt down and picked up a piece of ore. Even if the cave was dark, the dark copper red color was particularly bright.

Reaching out and looking at it piece by piece, it's all the same.

It is undoubtedly copper.

It's just that, thinking of the previous conversation between the two, she couldn't help frowning. This mountain range does not mainly produce copper mines?

In that case, why did they pay a lot of money to hire people to mine here?
In those places in their mouths, what are they mining?
