Cannon Fodder Pit Fairy Road

Chapter 35 King Kong Barbie
Ning Yuan put down the stone in his hand and smiled faintly: "I want to take my brother with me, but I can't afford two stones weighing [-] catties."

The steward frowned, pondered for a moment, then shook his head and refused: "There are many people who come to work here, I don't need to burden you."

"But we only need one person's salary! The shopkeeper is very good deal for you!" Tong Xiaoye was stunned for a moment, and added dissatisfied with pouting his mouth.

They are all at a disadvantage, why is the person in charge still unwilling.

Unexpectedly, the manager smiled: "My child, the caravan we go to the mine, the worst thing is silver."

Everyone also laughed, and someone shouted from behind: "The ones in front, should you go or not? If you don't go, get out of the way quickly, don't waste time blocking there!"

Seeing that the steward disagreed, Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and was about to raise the stakes, but Tong Xiaoye stopped him, and said crisply: "The steward, I'm not a burden!"

After all, he got up and went to move the stone on the ground.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, she gritted her teeth and actually lifted the stone.

It's just that the move was really a bit reluctant, and after holding on for a while, the stone slammed heavily on the ground.

Still not working!
Tong Xiaoye sighed inwardly, the volley step she practiced was considered a physical training method, while her speed increased, her physical fitness also improved greatly, and her body shape changed greatly compared to before.

The weather in the north is cold, and her petite figure is wearing thick clothes, so others can't see it for the time being. In fact, under the thick clothes, her arms and calves are thicker than those of her peers, and they are tight at first glance. If you want to wear short skirts in summer, it is absolutely impossible.

Fortunately, there is no need to wear short skirts these days.

The only thing I can comfort myself is that the main effect of the volley is to cleanse the body of impurities and exercise the ultimate speed. It does not rely on weightlifting like other physical training, so Tong Xiaoye's muscles are not too outrageous. With the discharge of impurities, her skin is much fairer than before.

Her strength was not small, but after two months of driving and practicing day and night, her strength was even more astonishing. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't lift a stone weighing three hundred catties.

I just tried my best to move that stone, but my body is still weak.

Ningyuan's distressed Tong Xiaoye held Tong Xiaoye in his arms, and said sincerely: "Shopkeeper, my younger brother is not yet nine years old. I am afraid that he will be hurt by working as a coolie so early, so I don't want him to go to the mine, but you also See, he is definitely not a burden."

This child, who is only eight or nine years old, can lift a stone weighing three hundred catties!
The steward looked surprised, stared at Ning Yuan's handsome face and hesitated for a moment, seemed to think of something, and nodded to let him pass.

Ning Yuan told him again that Tong Xiaoye would not go to the mine but just do odd jobs, and he readily agreed.

Tong Xiaoye was a little strange, but thinking that his brother and sister had nothing to be used, he happily took the paperwork with Ning Yuan and prepared to leave the coolie market.

"Shopkeeper, please let me go, I only charge 400 taels, not 300 taels!"

There was a bitter begging sound from behind, Tong Xiaoye looked back and saw that it was the skinny man who had just lined up behind him just now. But it fell off after three seconds.

This level is even worse than Tong Xiaoye.

"You can't do it. We are recruiting miners, and we are running a philanthropic hall." The manager waved his hand impatiently, and then shouted to the back: "Next one, hurry up!"

The middle-aged man still didn't give up, cried and knelt on the ground and shouted: "Shopkeeper, just let me go. I haven't eaten for two days. I'm sure I can move it when I'm full. Trust me!"

The steward didn't even turn his eyes, and the people behind pushed forward one by one, and no one paid any attention to him.

Tong Xiaoye looked a little sad, remembering that the man cared about him just now, he stepped forward and threw a piece of broken silver: "Uncle, you can go back and eat when you are full, don't worry."

After all, he ignored the man's gratitude, and followed Ning Yuan to leave the market directly.

In order to save costs, the caravan will only set off for the mine when it recruits enough coolies, so the Tong Xiaoye brothers and sisters have to wait in Tongzhou for a while.

"Mining for ten years, 1000 taels of silver including food and housing, and 100 taels a year, which is more than the most popular oiran in Baihualou. In fact, it is quite a bargain!"

Sitting on the bed in the inn, Tong Xiaoye looked at the document seriously, drooling at the huge reward on it.

"The premise of the 1000 taels is that you can come back alive after ten years, like those of them who sell themselves and get the money first, sign a death contract, and only give 500 taels of silver."

Ning Yuan sneered, and then sighed: "There are so many people who go there every year, and not even one-tenth of them come back alive after ten years. Those who sign the contract of living are equivalent to ten years of work for nothing. If you meet a black-hearted boss, It’s hard to survive for ten years, and I’ll still try to kill you to save money, otherwise why would I recruit people in large numbers every year!”

"Brother, how did you come back last time?" Tong Xiaoye asked curiously, remembering the injuries all over Ning Yuan's body when he came back.

"There was a mine accident, and I couldn't do business when I went back. Other mines didn't dare to accept me. I had to come to Tongzhou to recruit workers again. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I went back to the capital first."

Ning Yuan didn't want to go into details, but Tong Xiaoye didn't give up, and pretended to be cute with his big eyes blinking: "Brother, but you were injured in the capital!"

"You girl, why are you so curious!"

Ning Yuan patted her on the head angrily, knowing that the girl would be ignorant if she didn't finish speaking, so she had to explain: "I escorted an old eunuch back together, and when he arrived in the capital, he wanted to kill me, but I gave Killed, even if he was injured at that time, the volley step technique also came from him."

Tong Xiaoye knew that Ning Yuan had concealed many details, but he couldn't ask any more, so he squeezed his ears angrily, and went to meditate on the bed.

It's strange to say that she can't get started with the inner strength of the volley step, and falls asleep when she meditates, but there is no problem with the nine-turn Yuan Ronggong that Ning Yuan passed on to her, although she still can't feel much spiritual power. However, he can enter the state of sedation in the legend, and during practice, he can also feel that there seems to be no spiritual energy nourishing the body.

And she could feel that the spirit stone in her hand was gradually getting smaller.

Ning Yuan was also very puzzled by this, and said to himself suspiciously: "Could it be that the exercises inherited by our family are only suitable for people with poor aptitude? Successful people are also pseudo-spiritual roots, but no one with good aptitude has entered the Nascent Soul stage."
