Chapter 540 Li Niu from Lijia Village
Chapter 540 Li Niu from Lijia Village
"Who dares to occupy my territory?"
The man shouted angrily, stood up and looked at the people around him.
It was pitch dark and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, but there was no smell of sweat on the other person. Just now, he seemed to hear the manager bringing two new people over. He immediately guessed that they were two newcomers.
"Get lost, the cave is so big, why are you squeezing in there? Go to the side."
After saying that, he wanted to kick again.
However, Ye Ming dodged it immediately and reached out to grab the leg he stretched out.
"We are all in trouble, why should we make things difficult for each other?"
Ye Ming said this seriously, thinking that these might be villagers from the mountain, and he didn't want to bother with him.
The man tried to pull his legs away, but found that he couldn't do it at all.
"Manager, there's someone causing trouble here!"
The man shouted and called the two gatekeepers at the entrance of the cave into the cave.
He couldn't beat the two newcomers, but since they were newcomers, they didn't understand the rules here, and there were plenty of people to deal with them.
The two gatekeepers immediately ran over, swinging whips in their hands.
"Who's causing trouble? Be careful or I'll beat him to death."
The man whose legs were grabbed felt proud and pulled his legs hard again, but this time Ye Ming let him go.
He felt pity for these villagers, but he didn't expect to be reported to the police.
"It's them! They took my spot!"
The man pointed directly at Ye Ming and Zhao Shiping.
The two gatekeepers were about to swing their whips at him, but Ye Ming grabbed the whips:
“Brother, brother, I didn’t take their seats. We are new here and don’t know the rules. We just lie down casually without pressing him, but he kicked us!”
After saying that, Ye Ming took out a piece of silver from the darkness and stuffed it over.
The gatekeeper was originally angry because someone dared to disobey him, but suddenly he felt something in his hand, and he immediately took it out and put away the whip.
It is not surprising that some of these newcomers usually have silver hidden on them.
This person is quite discerning.
For the sake of money, he was willing to give him this face.
The whip turned and turned directly to the man just now:
"Can you be a little more honest? This is not your territory. It's none of your business if someone likes to sleep!"
After saying that, he whipped the man with a whip, and the man screamed:
"I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore..."
He immediately begged for mercy, but in his heart he hated the two newcomers.
After this wailing, the other sleeping miners were also woken up. Seeing the supervisors beating people again, they were frightened and trembled. They huddled together and dared not say a word.
"Behave yourself, everyone!"
The doorkeeper yelled at him, then didn't bother to care anymore and went back to stand at the door.
Ye Ming squatted down, walked up to the man, and a sneer flashed across his lips.
As expected, human nature has both good and evil, and not all villagers are good.
They are all wanderers in the same world, and this guy bullies them just because they are newcomers. They really deserve it.
It was hard to see his face at night, so Ye Ming pinched his chin:
"What's your name?"
He had to know who this person was, so that he wouldn't fail to recognize him tomorrow morning. After all, he had to be on guard against this kind of villain.
"Wang...Wang Ershan."
The man trembled but still gave a name.
He is a bully who only fears the strong and the weak. When he failed once, he became afraid of Ye Ming, the newcomer.
I thought I could kill the newcomers' prestige. If I could scare them, I might even get them to do some work for me. But I didn't expect that they were such a tough guy.
"Okay, I'll remember you."
Ye Ming smiled. If it was daytime, Wang Ershan would definitely see the horror and gloom on his face.
Zhao Shiping also glanced at Wang Ershan and felt that there were at least three people around him.
And just now he saw one of them also stretching out his leg, but his speed was not as fast as Wang Ershan's, and then he retracted it.
It seems that these people are all of the same kind and we must be on guard against them.
The two of them found an open space and lay down. Today was only the first night and there was no action, so they just went to sleep peacefully.
In the middle of the night, I heard some people coming in, so I just found an empty space and fell asleep.
Ye Ming thought that these people actually worked until late at night, which was too exploitative.
The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the mine became bustling.
The miners were called up directly and were driven to the mining area to mine without even having to eat.
Ye Ming and Zhao Shiping were among them. It was their first time to work, and the manager directly called a lame man to lead them.
The man's name was Li Niu. He led them into the innermost part, gave them a tool, and asked them to hammer and hit the ore there. Then they used a backpack to carry the ore out.
Ye Ming and Zhao Shiping observed their surroundings while working.
There are quite a lot of people mining, and there are also quite a lot of supervisors. Anyone who slacks off will be treated to a meal of stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots.
Every miner was silent. They all worked silently, not even daring to raise their heads.
"Don't look around, they'll whip you."
Li Niu gave a reminder and walked out with a basket on his back. Ye Ming also followed behind with a basket on his back.
The ore was sent to another cave, which was already full of ore. They couldn't go too deep, but they could hear the clanging sounds from outside.
After delivering the ore, the two men returned carrying the empty frames. It would be a difficult trip if they were not exhausted.
Ye Ming was a martial artist, and he felt a little tired after walking around with these heavy stones on his back. He couldn't help but glance at Li Niu standing beside him.
This guy has weak legs and feet, but he's so agile. He's quite a capable person.
There were supervisors on the side of the road, so he didn't dare to ask more questions.
Shen Yuan also started working here. He had a relatively easy job as he was in charge of the miners.
He also noticed that the people in Mine No. 1 were all trained. He thought they might be his second uncle's private soldiers. There were also supervisors there, but fewer of them.
Most of the supervisors come to Mine No. 2.
The people here are all captured civilians mining. The supervisors are very powerful and they will whip them when they are angry.
Ye Ming walked over to Shen Yuan, took a look at him and said nothing.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no other supervisor here except Shen Yuan, he immediately asked Li Niu beside him.
"Which village is Brother Li from? When was he captured and brought here?"
Li Niu was startled and immediately looked at the supervisor beside him. Seeing that the supervisor did not respond, he replied in a low voice:
"I'm from Lijia Village. I was arrested before the New Year. Don't talk nonsense. Let's just work. There is always hope as long as we are alive."
Li Niu kindly reminded him.
If you are beaten to death, you will have nothing.
But if they keep alive, they might be discovered by the authorities one day and they might still be saved.
He must survive, because his wife and children are waiting for him at home.
Shen Yuan also heard their conversation and glanced at Li Niu for some reason.
Lijia Village? He was arrested years ago?
Could he be Liu Chunmei’s man?
When Liu Chunmei returned home and cried during the Chinese New Year, the entire Daliushu Village knew that her husband was missing.
