Quenched long order

Chapter 21 For the future
Sauer bit down the pancake hard and chewed it in his mouth. At first, it had almost no taste, but after a few seconds, there was a hint of sweetness reverberating in his mouth.

He withdrew his thoughts and thought carefully about what happened recently and the future that was still unclear:

There's a bit of a mess right now and I have to sort it out.

I don’t know why, but in short, my consciousness woke up in the body of Sauer. After a day of hard work, I have basically adapted to the current life, but I still don’t have much useful information on how to leave this world and return to my hometown. The only clue that can be traced is the depth of the mine.

Is there a possibility... There is no way back to my hometown in the depths of the mine?What if I can only stay in this world in the future?Are you still going to live this way?
Thinking of this, he glanced at Garland beside him. Each of the miners who came here has their own reasons, but there is no doubt that Stewart Island is like a whirlpool, firmly locking all the miners here. Unless they have extraordinary perseverance and not bad luck, it is almost impossible to escape.

He raised his head, looked at the blue sky, and happened to see a few seagulls flying by. At this moment, he felt that his thoughts followed the seagulls and flew away from this land of right and wrong, flying freely.

After eating the dry food, Garland clapped his hands and lay down on the hillside with his fingers crossed behind his head as a pillow, his right foot raised on top of his left.

Seeing this scene, Shaoer subconsciously flashed the idea of ​​"the hillside is too dirty", but he took a closer look at the dust on Garland's body, and then looked down at his inferior linen clothes.

Garland did not speak, his blue eyes staring at the sky in a trance.

Shaoer knew what Garland was thinking. It must not be the life and death of Andrew and Sean, but the pure gold mine that only they knew. If there is a feasible way to collect these expensive gold, no, maybe not all of it, just a part of it, can make the rest of life worry-free.

"My mother once told me that one must be content, and one must not force things that do not belong to oneself." Garland said suddenly, his voice firm.

Saul turned to look at Garland.

Garland sat up and continued: "But I don't agree with this very much, because she spent her life like this, always doing the right thing, but in the end she was burnt into coke in the sudden flames. This world has never shown mercy to the weak. In other words, only the strong are qualified to show mercy to others. Only the strong have the power to be content and not be changed by this world."

After speaking, his voice became louder and louder, perhaps because he realized that he was too excited, he lay down on the hillside again, and his tone eased a lot:

"Sauer, Sean and Andrew, it shouldn't be as simple as death, right?"

Sauer nodded. Garland is very smart. Unlike Andrew, who has a bad temper, Garland is thoughtful, courageous and resourceful, which is why he is the leader of the four-person team and has come to this day.

"That's why I've always wanted to leave Stewart Island." Garland turned his head to look at the mine, his eyes looked to the upper left, as if he was recalling the past, he blinked, retracted his thoughts, and refocused on Saul, and said, "This cave is not that simple."

really……

It's hard for Sauer not to admit it, or, if he didn't, it would contradict himself by being here.

"The people of the garrison on the island don't want to get close to this hole. Only us miners risk being polluted every day, go inside like dogs, and explore for them with our lives." Garland continued, as if these words had been held in his heart for a long time, "Sauer, I want to get the gold, I don't want to live like this again."

That's right... As long as I find a way to get the gold, even if I can't go back, I can still prepare for the rest of my life, so that I won't die tragically somewhere and have no one to collect the body like Sean and Andrew.

Saul thought.

Afterwards, he looked at Garland and nodded solemnly, "I don't want to stay here either, but don't be in a hurry for now. We have to think long-term about this matter, otherwise even if we get the gold, we won't be able to spend it."

Garland immediately sat up, then extended his right hand.

Saul looked at Garland suspiciously. After meeting Garland's eyes, he knew Garland's intention, which meant... an alliance, so he also stretched out his right hand.

The moment the two held hands, it was as if they had signed a contract—a contract to work hard for gold.

"I think it's better not to tell Regis and Kerry about this for the time being." Saul expressed his inner thoughts. In fact, he is not worried about Kerry, but Kerry and Regis have a good relationship. He is worried that Regis may get information from Kerry, which will cause some unnecessary troubles. On the other hand, it seems that it only needs to dig out the gold from the mine.

"Well, we'll tell them when the time is right." Garland nodded, agreeing with Sauer.

"By the way..." Shaoer thought of something, and he took off the amulet around his neck. "This is the amulet given to me by the mystic on the street. It can temporarily resist the pollution in the mine. It seems to have worked just now. There, the effect of the psychic lamp is very limited. We must seek new protection, otherwise, it will be impossible to succeed."

Garland looked at the rhombus-shaped talisman in Saul's hand. The elk on it was lying on the ground, and parts of his body seemed to have turned into bones. He frowned slightly and asked, "Are you going to tell her about it?"

"I'm afraid I have to tell her." Saul nodded back.

"Is she reliable?" Garland asked in a low voice.

Sauer shook his head and put the amulet away, "I don't know, it may not be reliable, but we have no other way, unless we can find someone else to help us resist the pollution there, otherwise, we must find someone to help us."

"Let me think about it." The problem was posed in front of Garland. He lowered his head and thought about it for about ten seconds before he reluctantly said: "It seems that this is the only way to go. No matter whether it is the spirit stone scholar or the people of the garrison army on the island, it is impossible to help us. If the mystic was willing to help you save me before, maybe she will help with this matter. After all, she does not look like someone who will be short of money."

Sauer could understand Garland's embarrassing thoughts. Regis and Kerry had lived with them for a long time, and they didn't tell them right away, but now they wanted to tell such an important thing to an unreliable mystic. In any case, they needed to have an ideological struggle in their minds.

"I'll take a look first," he replied.

"Hopefully the heavens will be on our side." Garland took a deep breath and then exhaled softly.
