Quenched long order

Chapter 15 Persuasion
"Come right now." Saul replied loudly. He walked to the door and opened it. Garland was standing outside the door with a pickaxe, ready to go.

Garland looked at Saul for a while, and asked softly, "It seems that you didn't sleep well yesterday."

Saul rubbed his eyes with his right hand, "I will, it will be fine soon."

Garland nodded without asking further questions, and walked towards the path leading to the mine.After Garland left, Saul looked back at the thick phlegm on the floor beside the bed, and immediately went out with a pickaxe to dig some soil to cover it, and together with the mud and thick phlegm, he got it out of the house and threw it to a remote location.

After a brief wash, he took the pickaxe and the pancakes he ate at noon to join Garland.

During this period, the dream from last night kept replaying in his mind. Even after waking up, the uneasy feeling still lingered in his heart and could not go away for a long time.

This also made him think about why he had the nightmare last night and what the thick phlegm he spit out this morning meant.

One possibility is that there is a problem with Sauer’s body. The working conditions of the miners on the island are very harsh. There is neither a miner’s cap to protect the head nor a breathing mask to filter the air to protect the lungs. In addition, if you want to earn more money, you can basically only go to mines. No matter how healthy your body is, without sufficient protection, it will continue to deteriorate until you develop symptoms. This is one of the reasons why the four want to leave the island.That may well be the case with Saul's body.

Another possibility is the dirty things in the mine. When he just woke up from the mine, he felt the threat. Without the protection of the psychic lamp, he would be submerged soon. In addition, he didn't know how long it had been since he woke up in the mine and fell into a coma. Therefore, in fact, Shaoer's body was already stained with dirt and polluted. The thick phlegm he spit out just now was the remaining pollutants in his body.

There may be both possibilities, but Sauer is more inclined to the latter possibility, because at the end of the dream, he felt the burning of the soul, which seemed to be the soul saving itself.

After meeting Garland, the two headed to the mine to gather and wait to receive the psychic lamp.

Today, Regis and Kerry did not go to the mine. From the chat last night, Sauer learned that usually the four of them would not go to the mine together, and at least one person would stay to guard the house to prevent people from stealing and making trouble. After all, the casino is in the trading market, and those who lose their eyes can do anything.

Among them, Kerry, because of his age and thin body, went to the mine the least number of times. Occasionally, he went to the mine to familiarize himself with the environment in advance and prepare for the future. In most cases, he left behind to guard the property.

On the way to the mine, the two of them stopped after walking for a long time. In front of them, a strong man with red hair stood in the way and glared at them.

Garland wanted to step forward to stop him, but Saul blocked him, "Let me do it."

"Be careful." Garland warned.

Sauer stepped forward and focused on Andrew. As the opponent approached, his every move was under his control. As long as he was not distracted by other things, he was confident that even if Andrew went crazy, he would be able to avoid the heavy pick in the opponent's hand until Garland came to support him.

"Are you going to die?" Andrew said disdainfully when he saw Saul walking alone, "That's fine, I don't want to kill your friend either."

Occasionally, other miners passed by on the road, but when they saw this scene, they didn't stay too long. They only took a few glances from a distance, and hurried to the mine.

On this island, conflicts among miners can only be described as ubiquitous, and there are many cases where people are killed, but as long as they are not in the trading market or disturbing the army stationed on the island, they will basically end in private fights.

Human life is worthless.

Considering Andrew's violent temper, Saul didn't intend to beat around the bush, he said loudly: "Sean is still alive."

After Andrew heard it, his movements slowed down a lot, and the expression on his face softened a little, but after a brief hesitation, he became even more angry, "You, again, lied to me." He lowered his voice, but raised the pickaxe in his hand even higher.

"So..." Saul blinked his eyes, and his tone was very calm, but in this calm, there was a little harshness mixed in, "...Do you want to find Sean, or do you just want to kill me in the name of Sean?" Then, he bent his legs slightly, raised his right hand, and held the pick tightly, "If you want to find Sean, then go down the mine with us. If you just want to kill me, then come on, you will forget the punch I gave you yesterday? Come down, and I will smash your head."

After a day, he has experienced the rules of this island.

It is very important to have friends to help, but friends can only help for a while, not for a lifetime. In the end, all difficulties need to be faced alone.

He has no intention of killing Andrew for the time being. He has never killed anyone, and he doesn't know if he can do it without hesitation if the time comes to fight for his life. Fortunately, Andrew doesn't know this either.

The new morning sun shone on the heads of the two. Andrew did not go any further, nor did he put down the pickaxe in his hand. Sauer was the same, just waiting silently. For a while, the two were deadlocked in place.

"Andrew, come with us to see, maybe Sean is okay?" Garland's voice broke the silence, just giving Andrew an excuse to give up.

"Hmph, then I'll give you another chance." Andrew put down the pickaxe, his chest heaved violently, as if he was still unconvinced.

Sauer did not provoke Andrew anymore, the current situation was within his expectation, and he was already very satisfied.

The three of them went to the gathering place in front of the mine together. There were quite a few miners waiting here in the early morning. Most of the miners had no sense of expectation on their faces. They seemed to be tired of this kind of life for several years. They came here every day just to earn a little money to maintain the quality of life, or to gamble tonight.

Not long after, a short, fat man in a red top hat happily walked over, his eyes swept over the miner's face, and then he walked up to a stone, with his left hand behind his back, his right hand held in front of his mouth, and coughed twice.

"Cough cough!"

Then, he stretched his right hand forward and said in a very high voice: "Gentlemen—" However, before he could start speaking, he was interrupted by the miners below.

"Mr. Wellington, please stop talking nonsense, we are still waiting to get out of the mine." A miner complained.

Bill searched for the sound and searched among the miners. He quickly found a thin miner. Then, he blinked and replied in a serious voice:
"Nonsense? You said what I said is nonsense?"

The skinny miner turned pale, realizing he had spoken the truth, and was about to apologize, but Bill didn't give him the chance.

Bill jumped off the rock and walked up to the miner, saying at the same time:

"The rules you need to abide by, the punishment you will receive if you don't follow the rules, yes, because you can hear it every day, and you can even memorize it, so these words are nonsense, meaningless to you, just a waste of your time looking for gold in the mine, but, have you ever thought that by your side, there may be newcomers who have just arrived on this island—"

At this time, a miner retorted: "It's the middle of the month, there is no way new people will come..." His voice was very soft, as if he was complaining silently, but he was extremely conspicuous among the quiet crowd of miners.

With a cold face, Bill raised his hands and straightened his high hat. At the same time, he took a deep breath and adjusted his inner emotions. After waiting for two seconds, he said very quickly: "Anyway, remember one thing. If you still care about your own life, go in with a bright psychic lamp, and come out with a bright psychic lamp. Come here now and line up!"
