The Legend of the Great Wilderness

Chapter 7
A pawn leader who nodded and bowed and followed behind the miner, flatteringly kicked away the miner who was going to untie Guyi, stepped forward and tore off the rattan rope himself, one end of the prying frame was suddenly tilted up, and the other end was hoisted. Gu Yi fell to the ground violently.

The pawn shouted proudly and called two nearby miners, instructing them to lift the "corpse" and throw it into the furnace used for refining ore. The two miners tremblingly lifted the "corpse" While waiting to be transported, one of them suddenly exclaimed and dropped the corpse to the ground by mistake.

The captain whipped the whip furiously, and the miner rolled to the ground with a scream, and retreated with his hands and feet to avoid the whip, crying and distinguishing: "Mr. Taibo! Mr. Tai! He is still alive! He is still alive!" !"

"Donkey! Does it matter to you whether he lives or dies? I..."

The enraged commander was about to be whipped again, and the mine who had already walked away came over to stop the commander, and said in surprise: "Not dead? Didn't you say that you kicked his internal organs the other day, and it hanged him two or three times." Ri is still not dead?"

The elder pawn called "Bao Jaw" blushed: "Perhaps he didn't kick his heart and lungs so hard that he survived for two more days... Taibo Zheng, I'm so humble, I'm going to make up for him, I don't believe he's still alive!" As he said that, he went straight to Guyi angrily.

"Wait!"

The interested mine was calling to stop the pawn leader, walked closer and bent over to take a look, seeing that there was indeed a slight ups and downs between Guyi's chest and abdomen, he said in surprise: "This donkey has a hard life! It's another person , the past few days have been sun-dried into stewed meat, it’s okay, there are not many "Ji people" in my "Ji Ren camp" recently, this donkey is strong enough, throwing it into the "slaughter prison" will keep it for a few days Long fat, it may come in handy in a few days when you're fighting Capricorn. You..."

Shaking the fat on his face, the petite and thin one snorted at the two petite slaves who were petrified: "You, send this donkey to the animal prison. It's up to you to feed him, and if he dies, you can enter the 'blood cage' for him and participate in the 'fight show'!"

The miner who had just been whipped scrambled over and kowtowed, and shouted in a panic, "Uncle Zheng! Uncle Zheng! I'll go for him! I'll go for him! He's still a kid, so he can't get in." Blood Cage'..."

Mine Zheng laughed, and pointed with his finger: "You old man, you are thinking of good things. I eat and sleep well in my 'livestock prison' and 'Jiren camp', why are you planning to rush to hide and enjoy yourself?" ?”

As he spoke, he shook his head and turned around to leave. With a dark face, the pawn lashed out with a whip and yelled, "Weary! Get out of here and go to work!" The far away mine is flattering.

The old miner looked at the petite miner anxiously, and saw that the petite miner was completely black and dirty, and his face was covered by a disheveled hair. The petite miner shook his head slightly, raised his head and lay on his back. On the ground, Guyi's long legs were clamped under his armpits, dragging Guyi to the "slaughter prison" in the mine, and the faces of the miners who were carrying the ore couldn't help it. He showed a look of grief, indignation and worry.

Gu Yi was awakened from the deep darkness by a terrible hunger that melted his stomach, and he moaned hoarsely, only felt someone approaching him, gently holding the back of his neck, pouring cool liquid into him to dry up. between the lips.

Thirsty, Gu Yi swallowed like nectar, slightly relieving the dry pain in his throat and the burning heat in his stomach, but he swallowed too quickly, and the clear water choked into the air duct, and suddenly he coughed violently. Clear water sprayed out from the nose.

Gu Yi struggled to turn over and lie on his side to prevent the water from choking into his lungs. Gu Yi was coughing like hell, but he felt someone slapping him gently behind him. Gu Yi, who had regained his strength, was panting heavily, barely propping up his heavy body, leaning halfway On the rocky rock wall, use the coolness of the rock wall to wake yourself up quickly.

Blinking his blurry eyes hard a few times, Guyi found himself in a long and narrow cave, the bottom of the cave was covered with gravel, and a huge iron rock blocked the bottom of the cave. , Abandoned mine pit after encountering undugable iron rock.

At the exit of the mine pit, a fence formed by pig iron pillars with the thickness of the mouth of a bowl sealed the exit. Even in the stone pit where the pillars were buried, iron juice was poured and completely welded to death. The horizontal fence is on the iron fence, blocking the only exit.

Outside the cave, two miners wandered around from time to time, guarding against the escape of the prisoners in the cave. At the entrance of the cave, squatting, leaning or lying on the ground, there were five or six thick-bodied men with ragged clothes and beards and hair like savages. From time to time, with gloomy eyes, he glanced at Gu Yi lying at the bottom of the cave.

"Little...brother, where is this...?"

With a hoarse voice, Gu Yi asked the thin miner who took care of him. He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his eyes shrank in the corner beside him in panic, avoiding the gloomy eyes of those strong men at the entrance of the cave. Holding a dirty black broken bamboo tube, it was obviously used to feed himself water before.

Startled by Guyi's "little brother", the thin miner stared blankly at Guyi, his disheveled hair covered his dirty little face, and a pair of bright eyes were in between the gray hair. Li looked at him timidly, but the grass on his body was still intact, unlike other miners who were wrapped in tatters like piles of rotten grass.

The straw scorpion is not so much a garment as a front and back straw mat tied with a straw rope. It is removed from the headgear and a rotten grass rope is tied around the waist as a belt. It is the most common clothing of miners.

To Guyi's words, the skinny miner shook his head lightly, and obediently picked up the dirty broken bamboo tube and handed it to Guyi's lips.

Seeing that the skinny miner didn't speak, Gu Yi didn't think too much, feeling that his physical strength gradually recovered, and the clear water that was originally sweet and rainy now smelled like a strong fishy smell, so he shook his head to express that he was not thirsty anymore. His eyes fell on a stone trough at the entrance of the cave.

Seeing that the dusty trough was covered with moss, and there was a small puddle of muddy liquid accumulated in the trough, Gu Yi couldn't help but frowned, his stomach churned, but he wasn't so hungry anymore.

The mine is not too deep, it is only seven or eight meters shallow, but there are eight people including myself and the small miner. Naturally, the smell in the cave is not that good, and the cave is dark and humid, and the bottom of the cave is faint. The stinky smell that makes people want to vomit, the environment is extremely harsh, worse than the prison circle where hundreds of miners crowded together before.

From the burly men occupying the entrance of the cave with better air and environment, the gloomy eyes and the faint hostility, Gu Yi probably understood why he and the little miner huddled deep in the stinky cave, but it was strange that the miner camp usually It is rare to see such a strong and strong man. Even if there are, they are those vicious miners. These strong men can be seen as hard workers. For some reason, they are imprisoned here like themselves.
