Stories Of Nine Cities

The mine vein of the government camp is in the northwest of the mountains. Some of the uncultivated mines are wild. Because of the discovery of the mine vein, some of them are stationed, but they are only small people who want to get some cheap money when mining. However, after two failed attempts to open the mountain, it has become very depressed. If it was not for the government's forced garrison, there would be no one here except the refugees.

The official in charge of this vein is Li. Everyone calls him Li in charge. Before hanxixie arrives, he has already received the wind and prepared early. It's strange to see hanxixie and liuao appear from a distance. He didn't dare to say hello until they approached.

"I've met young master xixie, young master Wanfu." Steward Li is a middle-aged man. Because of his position, he walks in the mountains all the year round. His skin is dark and thick, and only his eyes are bright.

"Are you li in charge?" Han xixie looks Li Gui over.

"I'm ashamed of my humble duty!" Think about two times the mountain is planted in the hands of Li Gui can not help but lower the head a bit.

"No gifts!" See Li Gui always bow to stand in the same place, cold Xi heresy also turned off the horse, and then the reins to flow Ao.

"Is there a place for the fire? It's a little cold all the way. " Hanxixie didn't expect that the camp would be so cold, so she frowned and asked.

"Yes! Please come inside, young master Hearing Han xixie's words, Li Gui quickly stretched out his hand to lead the way, and at the same time let people go to take the reins on Liu Ao's hand.

Walking into the camp behind Li Gui, the scene of depression was the second. There was nothing but snow piled up, which made Han xixie frown. So he looked at Liu Ao, who slowed down and disappeared behind him.

"Please take a seat, young master!" Li Gui invited hanxixie into the room, and then retreated to the door, always respectful.

"Li doesn't have to be polite when he is in charge. Come and sit down together." When he got to the warm place, he rubbed his hand and looked at Li Gui standing by the door.

"No, no, no, just stay here." Li Gui shakes his head and waves his hand in a hurry. As a nine grade sesame official, there will be no one like Han xixie in this place, so he thinks it's better to do this.

It's not that I don't know what Li Guanshi thinks, but hanxixie still looks at each other and says something.

"It's tiring to talk like this. Go ahead!" Han Xi's heresy beckons. When manager Li looks up, she signals the other party to sit on the chair farthest away from him.

This time, Li Guanshi did not refuse to walk over, but did not sit down, but stood respectfully, which showed his nervousness.

"It's said that everything is ready for the opening of the mountain. Why can't you see half a person in the camp?" Cold Xi evil casually asked, picked up next to ready tea moisten throat.

"If you go back to me, everyone will be here." Li Gui, who was afraid of his dereliction of duty, responded quickly.

"Where is it?" Looking up at Li Gui, Han xixie couldn't turn her eyes, making the former a little flustered.

"This..." It's troublesome to explain things. Li Gui doesn't know how to say it. Although hanxixie doesn't ask aggressively, this kind of waiting makes people more at a loss.

"Manager Li, it's OK for you to say anything. I also want to do a good job in this mountain opening, otherwise I won't come here in person. If there's any inconvenience, I won't mention it until I start. Even I'm afraid it's hard to cook without rice. Do you understand?"

"This It's easy to understand, but Li Gui is not sure if he can say something, because it may sound like Shangshen, which is commonly known as a complaint. When things are ignored, it's OK. He's afraid of the taboo, and then he'll be replaced. It's not worth the loss.

The worry on Li Gui's face is hard to hide. She looks at Han xixie with great pains. She squints her eyes and thinks deeply. Then she looks at each other and says something in a low voice.

"Mr. Li, don't worry. Today's dialogue will only let you know that I don't do anything to embarrass Mr. Li. After all, I have to rely on Mr. Li to do a good job. I won't ask for trouble." In other words, no matter what manager Li said, hanxixie would do it by herself, and would not drag manager Li into the water.

This sounds reassuring, and Li Gui actually has his own plan in mind. If not, he will not be so tangled. He just hopes that the young man in front of him will be an understanding person as he sees.

"If you go back, everyone is here, but...!" Li Gui told the story, and the more Han xixie listened, the tighter her eyebrows were, and then she fell into deep meditation.

It is reasonable to say that those refugees who are arranged to open the mountain should be locked up in the shed. In order to prevent escape, someone may have to guard them. At the beginning, Li Gui did the same thing.

But in fact, it is not the case. Because the start of the mountain has been delayed again and again, so many people's food and clothing have become a problem. Although the household department has made arrangements, it is only a drop in the bucket when they arrive at the camp. Let alone eat, it is a problem whether they can survive the winter.In order to solve the problem of food, Li Gui had to organize people to go hunting in the mountains, but also basically solve the problem of food and clothing. In addition, it snowed these two days and the temperature dropped sharply. Li Gui concentrated all the people in the kiln house, so that the whole camp was empty.

"In order to ensure the forging and smelting after the opening of the mountain, the fire in the kiln room didn't dare to put out and kept burning all the time, so the kiln room was warm and empty, so I decided to let everyone live in it." Li Gui said, plop down to the ground, and then began to complain.

"I beg you to punish me for being guilty of humble duty." It's dereliction of duty not to collect people in the shed according to the rules. Now it's also desecrating the kiln house. Li Gui has already made psychological preparations, but he didn't expect that things would be exposed in this way.

"Manager Li is serious. If you want to say that you are guilty, I'm afraid you are also to blame." After all, he delayed the start of the mountain. It's reasonable for the Department of household to be short of materials because of this. However, he didn't expect that people in the camp would be in such a dilemma. Or, he actually knew it, but

"The young master is very serious. He is incompetent. He can't share his worries for the Lord, and he can't solve his problems." I didn't expect that hanxixie would say such self reproach words. Li Gui couldn't help responding like this.

"Manager Li is modest. If it wasn't for you, I'm afraid there would not be so many people." I'm afraid those who are able to survive in this frigid region are short of food and clothing. When the mountains begin, they will not be able to do what they want. And I'm afraid that's also in the calculation of those people! Cold Xi evil want to look to Li Gui.

"I know all these things. You can go back and have a look. When you get back, I'll see if I can do it for you." Han Xi heretical words let Li Gui some surprised look up at him.

"Do you mean to send materials?" After all, people have to eat to work!

"Dial is to dial, do not know how much can dial, and heating coal and clothing..." Han xixie's words haven't finished, Li Gui has some excited to interrupt.

"We don't need so many. We just need to send more food. There are also some simple cold dispelling herbs. We can solve the rest by ourselves." Originally thought it was just a walk, did not expect to hear such a commitment, even if just to listen to, Li Gui heart is warm.

"Do it yourself?" Now it's hanxixie's turn to be confused.

"You don't know. You can make everything here except grain." Speaking of this, Li Gui is very proud.

In order to ensure that the kiln fire does not go out, the household department sent coal, but only a small amount. In order to meet their needs, Li Gui went up the mountain to find firewood and burned charcoal by themselves through the kiln fire, which finally solved the problem of winter. Even if they didn't have enough clothes, they could still stick to it.

Since all the prey on the mountain has passed the winter, hunting becomes easier. Because I have been here for a long time, I naturally know where things will come and go on weekdays. Now it's easier to take the nest directly. But there is also a taboo in hunting, that is, we can't catch the young, so there is always a shortage of food.

"I didn't expect that this camp is still a land of Hidden Dragon and crouching tiger!" After listening to Li Gui's words, Han xixie responds with a smile.

"The young master praised it. It's just some means to make a living. Those refugees have been living in no fixed place. They have done everything to survive. Thanks to them, the camp is not deserted, but..." Li Gui said and looked at cold Xi evil one eye.

"But what?" Cold Xi evil looking at Li Gui asked.

"Although there is no problem in Kaishan, after all, these refugees are all from Jiaotu. The older ones don't have to worry about it, and the younger ones can do it, but smelting here is not so easy." Li Gui frowned and sighed.

"How do you say that?" It seems that Li Gui is distracted by hanxixie because of the food issue. That's why he says this kind of words. It's also like hanxixie.

"I don't know. Because of the previous accident, we couldn't go down until we opened the mountain. Because we couldn't extract the ore, all the smelters were removed. Even the continuation of the kiln fire was done by ourselves." That's why Li Gui dares to use it as a big heater, but that's all.

"You mean there are no smelters in this camp?" This is really interesting. Does everyone know that there is no ore here, so it's easy for him? Cold Xi evil in the heart cold hum a.

"There is one, but..." Li Gui said and secretly looked at a cold Xi evil.

"It's all right for Li to speak up." At this time, no matter what you hear, hanxixie will not feel strange.

"The man's surname is Meng. We all call him Meng Lao. He came here when the camp was first built. He was demoted because of the previous accident. Now he has become a refugee, so he has stayed here all the time." Li Gui said and lowered his head.

"Previous accidents? What does Kaishan's accident have to do with a smelter? " Han xixie frowns at Li Gui.

"The last mountain watcher and Mr. Meng seemed to know each other. They went to the camp to work together with their families, but there was an accident. They wanted to kill the whole family. In order to keep the child, Mr. Meng became like this." Li Gui said to look at the cold Xi evil one eye, see the other side silent didn't speak, the face has no expression also don't know what is thinking.Is it really a scapegoat? Just like those people in the King City sacrificed the mountain Watcher in order to save themselves, did that old man sacrifice himself in order to save his old friend's children?

The same sacrifice, but some shameless, some sigh, full of irony let hanxixie hum a smile, and then looked down at the always kneeling on the ground of Li Gui said.

"Bring that old man! I want to see you. "
