A strange world

Chapter 954 Section 185. Rekaner belongs to us!

The betrayer's body was thrown deep into the mine by the miners, peeling off a piece of gravel to fake the appearance of a mine collapse.

The next day, when the guards came in, they acted like they knew nothing.

The guards didn't care. It was normal for a few people to die in the mine. Which cave didn't have a few ghosts of those who died in vain?

Little Small, who had gathered the slave miners with the help of the betrayer, took the time to lead them to mine in the mines with coal, gathered the mined coal together, and finally divided it equally.

To avoid being discovered by the guards, they only took out a little more coal than usual. Taking advantage of their status as newcomers, Little Small asked how he could go outside to take a look.

Unexpectedly, the guard glanced at me and said, "You can go if you want."

"You don't care?"

The guard said impatiently: "At first it was you who asked if you could live in the cave because it was too cold outside, and now...oh, those miners are all dead."

With the harsh environment and food, the miners were obviously treated as consumables.

Looking at the light coming from behind the caretaker, Little Small had some thoughts.

"Boss, let me try..." the rabbit whispered. Ever since Little Small said he would take him out to see his mother, he has become the most loyal servant.

"Then let's go together."

A few more miners followed. They didn't want to go outside to suffer the cold, but they were afraid that Little Small would abandon them and run away.

"It's really troublesome... don't die outside." The guard waved his hand, not even interested in sending anyone to follow him.

After coming out, Little Small knew the reason: outside the coal mine was a basin located in the mountains. There were some smoky houses stretching in the depression, and some guards were patrolling.

The high mountains blocked Yize Bay, and the cold wind blew. Slaves like them, who were wearing thin clothes, could not get out of the mountains before they were frozen into popsicles.

There are many mines scattered around the basin, and Lame Babu should have been sent to one of them.

The wind in the mountains was very strong, and they got back into the mine before they were frozen. The guard finished dividing the food and left with light.

The miners gathered in anticipation. Little Small lit the oil lamp and said to the miners surrounding him: "Today's story is, the three hundred warriors of Liberty City..."

…

New day, new work.

Another unlucky guy was sent in today. Before he could shake off the bad news of becoming a slave, he was absorbed by the Blade of Freedom and recognized a short man as his leader.

In the evening, the miners turned in their baskets.

Little Small carefully controlled the total amount of coal mined, ensuring that it was only a little more than yesterday, but the guard seemed to be in a good mood——

The weather is getting colder and colder. The residents of Yizewan have no choice but to buy firewood and coal if they don't want to suffer from the cold. They take the opportunity to make a lot of money. .

"I want to ask you about someone..." Little Small took the opportunity to come over and ask. "The old man who was sent in with me was lame—"

"Old man? There seems to be one..."

"Where is he!?" Little Small asked quickly.

The guard chuckled lightly and then said, "They listen to you, right? I can see it. The coal mined tomorrow will be 30% more than today. Don't try to play tricks."

Fortunately, the coal they saved in advance was enough to make up for the 30% gap.

The next day, Little Small finally waited for the guard. He begged, "Sir, can you tell me where he is?"

"Yes, I knew you could get it... Let me think about it... Oh, it seems that an old man died a few days ago and was thrown to the cemetery by the people over there."

"died……?"

Little Small was stunned there, unable to believe that Babu, who had patiently guided him along the way, died like this...

"Where is his body..." Little Small's voice trembled slightly.

"The southeast corner of the basin, go there and look for it."

The guard was very happy about the 30% extra coal and told Little Small.

The desperate Little Smoke ran out of the mine. The sky was gloomy, and the last autumn rain in the north was brewing in the sky.

Little Small, who ran to the southeast corner under the gaze of the guards, found the "cemetery", which was an open-air abandoned mine. Skeletons and corpses were left in the pit casually, because there was no need to worry about the breeding of plague because of the cold.

Little Small ran into the bottom of the pit, rummaged around, and finally found the lame Babu, whose face had been mangled with blood and his body had turned lead-colored.

Cold rain fell from the sky.

…

Little Small, who was wet, fell seriously ill after he came back. He almost died in this unknown mine...if the miners hadn't given him the "bedding" and the hidden fire lamp oil. He kept warm, and he had been buried with Lame Babu.

Even so, it took three days for Little Smoke to wake up from the high fever and see the rabbit sitting in front of a small fire.

"Why do you look weaker than me..." The high fever seemed to have burned out Little Small's throat, and his voice was extremely hoarse.

Rabbit smiled bitterly: "We can't survive if you don't wake up... The guards have been asking us for 30% more coal mines for three days in a row..."

"Isn't it just one day?"

"How could they be so kind! After you got sick, you asked us to give you these coals, otherwise the food will be halved!"

They worked hard to mine, but the food they got in exchange was still not enough to eat, and if they didn't dig, they couldn't replace the food...

"I'll go tell him..." Little Small struggled to get up with the help of Rabbit, put on several pieces of ragged clothes, and walked out of the cave.

Now is the time to collect coal. As soon as Rabbit helped Little Smoke to the entrance of the cave, he heard a noise.

"We really can't dig anymore..." a hard-working miner begged.

The guard didn't care about him: "This is your own business."

"Master guard..." The arrival of Little Small made the miners make way. He walked to the guard and said weakly: "We are too hungry and have no strength to work... Can you give us a normal amount of food so that we can recover our strength and repay the coal mine..."

"I don't care. If we can't dig coal, we won't have anything to eat!"

The guard didn't care about Little Small either. He left a word and turned away.

Later, the food delivered by the dining car was indeed reduced by half.

"I'm sorry, I'm dragging you down." Little Small said, "I wanted to let everyone get enough rest first..."

The miners were too hungry to speak. Only Jeremy realized something vaguely: "Whatever you want to do, we will listen to you!"

They all raised their heads and saw Little Small's thin and sunken cheeks and eyes flashing with bright fighting spirit.

"Brothers... We work like slaves in their territory, and they let us starve..."

"We fill their manors with treasures, and they fill our lungs with dust."

"We let them enjoy delicious food in front of the warm fireplace, and they let us eat sticky food in the dark mine!"

"We tell them about our pain, and they laugh loudly that this is slavery!"

"It's time to end all this, we are countless fingers, we must clench it into a fist and smash all the bad guys who step on our heads!"

"Freedom belongs to the blade of freedom!"

"Freedom belongs to us!"
