Chapter 1208 Big event (first update, please subscribe)
On the canvas hammock with a mosquito net, Luo Yuan moved a lot of his things.Suddenly a flash of lightning flashed over the woods in the east, and the lightning stopped for a while, outlining the virgin forest and mountains.

"This damn place..."

Luo Yuan, who was smoking a cigarette, cursed the virgin forest and mountains around him.Once again, I asked myself why I took such a job.

If he analyzed it seriously, he would have to admit that he couldn't live anywhere else.There is no place to live in Daming.He is not suitable for living in the city, because the rules and regulations, various systems and laws there make him feel unhappy.

Like all geologists, they sometimes love and sometimes hate the field life.But Luo Yuan had to admit that after ten years in the wild, he already fell in love with it.For so many years, he could not do without malaria, strong alcohol, and countless insect bites.

He came from Xuzhou in 1867, when he was 17 years old.Like many adults or immigrants who were close to members, he stayed in the new immigrant camp for half a year. After half a year, he served in the army for three years. In the second year after the establishment of the empire, he retired and received a one-year Pension money, but he did not enter the farm, or enter the factory.

With the help of the employment agency, he became a security guard for the geological survey team.In the next ten years, he traveled all over Daming with the geological survey team, and even went to Africa.

Field exploration pays well and costs very little.Although he did not make a fortune, he did accumulate a lot of property. Just half a year ago, Luo Yuan resigned from the prospecting team, and he obtained a small tin mining concession in Ecuador—this small mine is where he lived ten years in the wild. The annual return, this tin mine is not big, it belongs to the kind of small mine that the company looks down on and abandons.

Luo Yuan, however, has taken a fancy to this tin mine. Tin is very expensive now, and the price is expected to rise.

In the past six months, Luo Yuan worked side by side with the local native workers. Now the tin mine has taken shape, and the sound of wind cannons can be heard from time to time in the mine.

At this time, Liang Li, who was covered in dust, came over and said with a smile.

"Boss Luo, look, this ore has just been mined, and the grade is very high!"

Handing the ore to the boss, Liang Li said.

"After the mine is invested, at most one year, Boss Luo, you can enjoy fine wine and beauties."

"It's just that there is no money. In Quito, as long as the Chinese-speaking people are of Chinese origin, they can drink endless wine and sleep endless beauties!"

It's true, if it's just good wine or beautiful women, any Chinese can easily lead the life of a master, without money at all.

Because of what?
Because the empire is strong enough!
I don't know how many local women are eager to marry Daming people and live a better life in Daming.It's not too easy to post upside down.

But different from others, Luo Yuan likes the outdoors, and also likes those Indians. Of course, the only thing that annoys him is that those Indian workers are always lazy, and sometimes they even want him to yell or even slap them. will go to work.Of course, most of the time he sat with them drinking victory wine and chatting about strange things in the tribe.

Go to Quito to enjoy life?
To be honest, Luo Yuan really didn't think about it.

Although he didn't think about it, when Captain Xu of the exploration team told him the location of the tin mine, he told him that his tin mining concession period is 20 years, and after 15 years, he can sell the mining concession to In a mining company, he can take the money and go to the city to enjoy life, or as a senior employee of a mining company, he can live a life that many people envy.

However, Luo Yuan didn't think so far at all. He was not yet 40 years old, with a burly figure and extraordinary arm strength. His body was as strong as a cow. Years of working in the field made his skin tanned.

"Let's talk about the road repairs to the mine first. By the way, where is Accountant Xu? What happened to the loan from the bank!"

While talking, Luo Yuan snuffed out the cigarette on the wet ground under the hammock, and then he played with the ore. In the past ten years, he has seen many similar ores. Every time he found ores, the prospecting team They were all very excited. He still remembered the scene when the team members fired into the air excitedly when they discovered the coal mine in Bechuanaland.

"I'm stuck here!"

Liang Li was surprised by the boss's soliloquy.

"Boss? What did you say?"

After finishing speaking, he scratched his hair, and then put on the rattan safety helmet. Just when Luo Yuan was about to walk towards the mine, a sudden strangeness in the distance made him pick up the rifle, and blew the gun. Whistling, led a few Indian guards to watch the mountain crossing vigilantly, and Liang Li also looked there nervously.

Soon, accompanied by the sound of messy hooves, two horses came into his sight, and the Indian riding on the horses shouted in blunt Chinese from a distance.

"Boss, boss, there are robbers, there are robbers..."

It was Accountant Xu and Alcaro who entered the city together, Luo Yuan hurriedly greeted him and asked.

"What about Accountant Xu?"

"They, they were stopped by robbers on their way!"

"What! Where is it? Quick, bring the horse here!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Yuan jumped on the horse, led several guards in the mine, and ran out of the mountain along the mountain road under the guidance of Alcaro.

After about an hour, two dead horses came into their sight. When the distance was still more than ten meters away, Luo Yuan stopped the horse at once. His eyes were astonished, and he looked at the scene on the side of the road. Believe his eyes.

"Did I care for him..."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yuan suddenly stopped talking. He jumped off the horse and stared at the corpses on the ground—three corpses, one belonged to Accountant Xu, and two were Indians. They were lying on the ground without exception. On the ground, hands on either side of the head.

"What's he..."

Luo Yuan suddenly felt a fire welling up in his heart.

This is not murder!
This is an execution!

That's right, all three of them had their throats cut with knives, which is a typical way for Indians to kill captives.

But, don't those damned guys know that accountant Xu is a Ming person?
While feeling annoyed in his heart, Luo Yuan shouted loudly.

"Arcaro, what's going on?"

"I...boss, we don't know. On the way here, we encountered robbers. There were a lot of them. Accountant Xu asked me to go back and deliver the letter..."

Hearing this, Luo Yuan, staring at the corpse on the ground, said loudly with an angry face.

"Carlos, go back and get the camera. You guys protect the scene. I'll be in Quito in a while, and go to the embassy. No matter what, I will find justice for them..."
