After seeing off Uncle An Ji and the other two, Xi Yunfei looked at the sky. It was already noon and it was about to start dinner in a while. Every day, time passed so quickly. Before he knew it, it was time to eat again.

I stood up and stretched comfortably. I planned to go to the horse court to watch the game for a while. As soon as I took a few steps, I saw Ma Zhou running towards me with his clothes on his face.

"Back?!"

Seeing that he was running in a hurry, Xi Yunfei took two steps and took the initiative to meet him.

Ma Zhou nodded slightly to him, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Xi Yunfei. The bull head responded in a wrong way: "According to the amount we buried, we will probably see the bottom in two days."

Xi Yunfei looked at the content on the paper and looked around him vigilantly. Seeing that no one was approaching them, he whispered: "How could they dig so quickly? Didn't they say they couldn't recruit people?"

Ma Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and whispered in a low voice: "Wang Yuan made a ruthless move. He had a high salary of 12 coins per month. It was enough to marry two wives in the village. Who wouldn't be moved? The mine cave in the east was buried at the least. Now it depends on the situation. It is estimated that Wang Yuan will notice it either tomorrow or the next day."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yunfei nodded thoughtfully, looked at the direction of Shishan and said, "After lunch, call my brother and Brother Xue. We are afraid that we should take precautions earlier. I am afraid that Wang Yuan will jump over the wall when the time comes."

Ma Zhou frowned slightly, and was still a little worried. He suggested, "It would be better to inform General Li again. Shishan is originally Xuzhuang's property. As long as he is willing, no one dares to care about him even if he leads the army to train troops directly at the foot of Shishan."

Xi Yunfei also felt that they should be notified, after all, this game was set up by everyone together, so they would not care about the benefits if they were not good.

"Okay, I'll write a letter to Uncle Li and Uncle Cheng immediately. Their farms are very close to us, so it's easier to take care of them..."

······

······

At the same time, there is a mine cave in Shishan less than five miles south of Xiagou Village.

In the dark and small space, there were only a few oil lanterns that provided some light that seemed to be there. The sound of excavation in the mine cave was endless. The moisture of the soil was mixed with an unpleasant smell of sweat, which made the villagers who had just arrived here to work frown.

The reason why stone mountain is called stone mountain is because it is basically composed of stones as a whole. You can imagine how difficult it is to excavate.

In this mine where you can't see your fingers, besides digging straight forward and easier, if you want to dig on both sides of the mine, you can basically use tools to dig it bit by bit, and the speed is not as fast as possible.

The backward tools and high-intensity workload have made the villagers who came from Xiagou Village miserable.

In addition, they were all Zhuangzi's villagers, so people started to mutter.

"Oh, if you really count it, Xiagou Village is still more comfortable. You can rest for half an hour after you have enough food. Usually, at this time, I should play Huarong Road with my big kid at the entrance of the third canteen."

"Who said no? Although I made less money in Xiagou Village, I was a little fun to do my job. Now in this dark mine cave, I can only dig the pit with you stinky men. It's not interesting."

Seeing a woman speaking, the villagers had some thoughts of speaking, enduring the smell of body odor in the air, and they all rushed to recall the beautiful life of Xiagou Village in those days.

Steamed bun.

Jelly.

Pickled fish.

broth.

Pickle.

Ice fruit wine.

Some people couldn't help but sucked a mouthful of water, but unfortunately such good days were gone forever.

Someone sighed quietly and complained: "That damn Manager He, the meat he had agreed to be made is actually the oily residue left after squeezing the fatty oil."

"There is also the steamed cake, which is not delicious at all. It is incomparable to the steamed buns in Xiagou Village. There are stones in the steamed cakes, which almost made my teeth collapse."

"Not to mention the food, the place of residence is so disgusting. You men have no rules, but what should we do if we women? We slept with you every day and sleep with you in the village. How can we see people when we look like this in the village?"

"Oh, stop talking. I regretted it yesterday. If I hadn't had the ten cents in my hand, I would have wanted to leave."

“·······”

After complaining about life outside the cave, someone started to find topics about things in the mine. This is how this person is. If he is a little unhappy, he can find a lot of problems for you anywhere.

"Hey, don't you find it strange?

In the past, I also went to dig mines for the government.

If you dig this mine straight forward, there will be a lot of ore and the quality is also good.

But when I dig it on both sides of the mine cave, why haven’t I dug a piece of ore before?"

Someone waved his hoe and slammed the soil that had just been dug from the wall. Seeing that there was no ore, he couldn't help but tell everyone about their doubts with a look of confusion.

This is the first time that everyone has encountered such a situation, such as the situation where there is only one direction, it has to be said that the ore deposit is distributed enough, and it is puzzling to understand.

The villagers were confused when they heard this. The first time people who had never dug the mine came in, they thought the ore was very long.

Among the crowd, a middle-aged man holding a lantern frowned. The villagers just complained about this and that, which made his face terrifyingly gloomy. When he heard the man talking about the mine cave, he quickly stepped on the ground with his feet, and his gloomy face turned into a confused expression.

"More than this, don't you think the soil is very loose? It seems that it was dug up once and then filled in again."

The woman who just complained about her residence also expressed her opinions. As she said that, she picked up a hoe and waved a hoe to the ground: "Look, this is too loose. I have been dealing with Tu for decades, and this is the first time I have seen such a soft loess."

As soon as the woman finished speaking, the villagers who asked questions waved another hoe to the wall on the left.

Say ~

In contrast to the woman, there was a sound of metal and iron clashing here.

"Look, I'm right. You can dig forward, but it's all stones that dig on both sides, so you can't dig them at all."

"Yes, I also wonder, is this mine really dug?"

"No, it's not that the mountain god was causing trouble and deliberately teasing us, right?"

"Nothing nonsense, where did the mountain god come from? Besides, there is really no way to tease us ordinary people."

"You were also told that the people in Zhangjia Village were just like that before. They went to dig copper mines for the government, and finally got buried by the mountain god. They said that they had committed a taboo and injured the mountain god's body. If you don't believe me, ask Zhang Laolai, he told me..."

The middle-aged man holding a lantern frowned. Seeing that the villagers were talking more and more excited, he frowned and shouted, "Okay, okay, don't make noise, concentrate on working."

"oh."

Everyone looked disappointed. Everyone was a villager in Weijiazhuang who ran over from Xiagou Village. They were concerned about the mine cave problem. It was not that they had a sense of ownership, but that they were worried that they would lose their jobs. After all, this mine cave was too weird.

If they can't dig enough ore, they won't get enough salary. If they don't have enough salary, they won't be able to eat as good food as Xiagou Village. What's the point of coming over?

The middle-aged man who scolded everyone frowned at this time. He was not a villager of Weijiazhuang, but a supervisor who was sent by the master to supervise the villagers' mining. He mainly did not let the villagers be lazy and supervise whether anyone secretly hiding ore.

Hearing the villagers' comments on the mine, he was so scared that he hurried to both sides of the mine, holding the lantern in his hand for a while, and the more he looked, the deeper the frown frowned, biting his lip, and shouting to the villagers: "You all work hard, I'll go out, don't think about being lazy, be careful I will turn around and deduct your wages."

After the supervisor left, the villagers who dug the soil looked at each other.

"What's going on?"

"have no idea!"
