Those years when I was a tool person

What Sang Yushu wanted to say was what Lu Zhou had just said, so when he repeated it to Rong Ying, Lu Zhou and Sang Bai chose to chat next to him.

Rong Ying just watched the two pass by in front of him, his eyes shifted from Lu Zhou to Sang Bai, feeling a little puzzled.

He clearly remembered that the atmosphere when the two met yesterday was still very unfriendly, why it's only been a day, and the relationship seems to have eased a lot.

While he was wondering, his hand was suddenly knocked by something.

Subconsciously retracting her hands into her sleeves, Rong Ying looked at the culprit.

The tool used to commit the crime was the handle of an umbrella, which was lying horizontally on Sang Yushu's lap at this time.

Seeing Rong Ying looking over, its owner smiled faintly and said, "Second brother is distracted."

Rong Ying: "..."

Taking a deep breath, he pulled the corners of his mouth reluctantly, "Say, I'm listening."

With a polite smile on his face, he seemed to be listening to the young man explaining the development history of the Sangjia Iron Mine in Qingshan County, but in fact, Rongying's peripheral vision never left the two people who were whispering beside him.

Shili looked around, and there seemed to be no place for him to stay under the thatched shed.

So he put down Rongying's umbrella, said "I'll go first", and before the others could react, he turned his clothes over his head and plunged into the rain.

"Hey!" Rong Ying only had time to shout, and found that the person had already run away.

The sound of the rain was pattering endlessly, and the soil on the ground was thoroughly soaked in water and became very soft. When people stepped on it, they would leave pits one by one, which were quickly filled with rainwater.

But Sang Yushu keenly found that the footprints left by Shili were very light, almost only a shallow mark.

Only people who know martial arts and good lightness kung fu can do this, he thought to himself, and decided to tell Sang Bai to pay more attention to Shi Li.

Lu Zhou on the side was leaning on the pillar, facing outside, and he didn't know what he was looking at. His voice was so low that only Sang Bai, who was very close to him, could hear: "I've been thinking about it for a long time, Qingshan County we These people can't stay any longer."

"why?"

Sang Bo had an extra stone in his hand, a brown rock with messy and irregular patterns on it. He put the stone in his palm, threw it up, caught it, threw it up again, caught it again... …and so on and on.

He didn't look at Lu Zhou: "Just because of this rain?"

"You don't have to play dumb with me here." Lu Zhou's body tilted slightly towards Sang Bai, he took a quick look at Rong Ying, and then lowered his voice and said, "You know the reason."

He said: "I will confess to you only after I believe your words, but if you stick to your virtue and keep saying such plausible things, believe it or not, I can throw you into the mine and bury you now?"

"You can't beat me," Sangbo threw the stone into the air, then quickly stretched out his other hand to cover it the moment it fell, "And threats are useless to me, you can rest assured that I won't Betray you."

"Humph", Lu Zhou was noncommittal about this, he stood up straight, raised one foot, and stepped on the stone that was used as a stool by the workers next to him, "It's useless to just talk, these words are still waiting for you Let’s talk about it when we get the antidote.”

Sangbo held the stone and looked at it for a while, then suddenly raised his hand and threw it outside, and disappeared into the rain with a "whoosh".

This time, he was finally willing to focus on Lu Zhou, "Don't doubt it, since the third son can guarantee that you will be free after the matter is completed, he will definitely do what he says, and he will naturally help you get the antidote. "

Lu Zhou was silent for a moment and said, "I hope so."

The scene of being forced to swallow the poison appeared in front of his eyes again, and a haze appeared on his face, "As you said, Sang Yushu had better be completely different from his vicious father, otherwise If you let me know that I have been cheated, then I will use my own way to get back the antidote that belongs to me!"

……

After hearing Sang Yushu's words, Rong Ying distractedly looked at Sang Bai and the others, and found that Lu Zhou had left at some point.

Sang Bai walked towards the two of them, "Second Young Master, Third Young Master, the entrance to the mine is covered with grass felt, and it is inconvenient to open it now. According to my subordinates, why don't we come and check after the rain stops."

Rong Ying turned to look at Sang Yushu, what do you think?

Sang Yu pivoted the wheelchair: "Then go back first."

Sangbo: "Yes".

Rong Ying nodded at Sang Bai, picked up the umbrella in Sang Yushu's arms very naturally, opened it, and tilted the umbrella slightly, covering most of the boy's head.

The wheelchair left two slender marks on the ground, which were quickly covered by rain again.

Sang Bai stood there and watched quietly until the two figures disappeared from his sight, then he put on his bamboo hat and stepped into the rain.

----------------

Because of the rain, there was nothing to do, and they couldn't walk around. Everyone was confined in various uncomfortable small spaces, trying their best to pass the time every moment.

On the fourth day after Rongying and the others arrived in Qingshan County, the rain finally started to slow down.

By mid-afternoon, the torrential rain had turned into a drizzle.

Rong Ying walked out of the wooden house, looked at the dark clouds gradually dissipating in the sky in the distance, and thought to himself, finally, it will finally clear up, if this rain continues, he will be moldy all over.

Stretching with open arms, he tilted his head and saw a few people running past him in a panic.

what happened?he guessed.

Hearing movement behind him, he turned his head and saw Sang Yushu stopped at the door, looking thoughtfully at the direction where those people left just now.

"Want to take a look?" Rong Ying asked.

Sang Yushu looked up at him for a long time, then nodded: "Okay."

Rong Ying pushed Sang Yushu to the shed, and as soon as he entered, he happened to meet Lu Zhou losing his temper.

"How could a living person be lost like this? Hurry up and look for it!"

Hearing the intermittent discussions around, combined with Lu Zhou's words, Rong Ying finally understood why the atmosphere under the shed was so tense.

It turned out that a worker from the mine had disappeared, and Lu Zhou was about to arrange for people to search around.

The missing worker was named Huzi, and the person who ran past Rongying and them was a friend who lived in the same wooden house as Huzi.

At this time, someone responded to Lu Zhou's question: "Boss, we have searched everywhere, but we haven't found anyone."

"Could it be sneaking away?" Another person said suddenly.

Lu Zhou just waved his hand with an impatient expression on this kind of view that opened up everyone's thinking: "What nonsense, it's impossible."

Rong Ying felt strange, so he tried to ask: "Why is it impossible?"

If you don't want to work in the mine, or if something happens at home, it's normal to run back secretly.

It's just that he didn't expect that as soon as his words fell, there was an eerie silence under the shed.

Seeing this, Rong Ying was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bold guess in her heart.

He felt that there must be some reason for this, so that even if the people in the mine didn't want to stay here, they couldn't leave.

But what could be the reason?

"Impossible is impossible. Where are there so many reasons?" Lu Zhou in the crowd spoke up. He looked at Rong Ying, his eyes widened, and with his full beard, he looked extraordinarily fierce, " All the people here are brothers who have been with me for many years, I know them very well, even if some of them really want to leave, it is impossible for them to leave quietly without saying a word."

Shi Li immediately agreed: "Yes, Second Young Master, we all have a good relationship, no one will just leave without saying hello."

He said, and at the same time, there was a worried look on his face: "Unless...unless something happened, I failed to inform everyone..."

As soon as the word "accident" was uttered, the expressions of the other people under the shed also changed. It seemed that they all had similar thoughts.

Seeing this, Lu Zhou slapped the table: "Okay, if you have time to think wildly here, why don't you hurry up and find someone!"

After driving everyone else out, Lu Zhou stopped only a few people who lived with Hu Zi: "Wait a few of you, take me to Hu Zi's residence to have a look."

It won't work to just search for it, he has to look for clues.

Several workers looked at each other for a while, and replied, "Okay boss."

Lu Zhou hummed, looked at the two people who had no intention of leaving at all, and said in a perfunctory tone, "Do you two young masters want to go together?"

Rong Ying and Sang Yushu looked at each other, ignoring Lu Zhou's attitude, he nodded: "Alright, let's go and have a look."

Anyway, idle is idle, maybe it can help.

Someone was leading the way, and Rong Ying followed behind with a wheelchair. He leaned down and whispered into Sang Yushu's ear, "Where do you think that person will go?"

Sang Yushu raised one eyelid, "I don't know."

He is not a god, he can't figure out the exact location of that tiger by pinching his fingers, how could he know such a thing?

Rong Ying shook his shoulder: "Guess."

"..." Sang Yushu fell silent, his eyes flicked over the people in front of him, he pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice: "There are too few things we know now, and there is no way to guess one or two based on these alone. When we get to their residence, we may be able to find some key clues."

Rong Ying agreed: "It's true."

"It's here, it's here."

While the two were talking, the person walking in front had already stopped. He pointed to the wooden house not far away and said, "Huzi lives here with us."

Pushing open the door, the inside of the wooden house is extremely simple, with only one big bed.Several people pointed to the simple bed board made of stones and wooden boards in the corner, and said, "Huzi usually sleeps in the innermost position."

Lu Zhou nodded. He stood in the room and looked around, then walked to the corner and lifted Huzi's bedding.

Unexpectedly, a smell of sweat came, and the eyes of the smoked people hurt.

Lu Zhou immediately covered his nose, took a quick look at the bed, found nothing suspicious, and then put the quilt back on.

He looked at the other people in the room, and his face became ugly: "The sky is about to clear up, so hurry up and tidy up when you have time, and dry the quilt and everything. It's like a pig's nest. Can people live in this?"

"Yes Yes Yes."

The few people who were reprimanded nodded their heads in embarrassment: "We listen to the boss, and when the weather is fine, immediately dry the quilt!"

Rong Ying tried not to laugh out loud, but even so, Lu Zhou noticed it and gave him a hard look.

After looking around in the room, there was nothing useful to gain. Lu Zhou was discouraged and was planning to invite everyone to go outside to find someone.

At this moment, Rong Ying felt her fingers being pinched.

Lowering his head, he saw Sang Yushu beckoning him to look at Huzi's bed.

After looking carefully, nothing unusual was found. Rong Ying was puzzled, not knowing what Sang Yushu asked him to see.

Lu Zhou has already seen everything that can be seen, why can't he just turn over the quilt again?

After turning his gaze back and forth a few times, he slapped his head and suddenly realized.He knew what Sang Yushu was referring to!

Suddenly bent his knees and squatted down, Rong Ying supported Sang Yushu's arm, and looked at it at the height of the boy's eyes. As expected, he found something wrong.

"Wait first." He shouted to Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou, who was about to walk out of the cabin, said in a bad tone, "What are you doing?"

Rong Ying pointed at Huzi's bed, "There's something in there."

The people in the wooden house slept on Datong bunks, but from Sang Yushu's perspective, the bed boards were uneven, and the innermost position, where Huzi slept, was slightly higher than other places.

Lu Zhou was originally leaning against the door with his arms crossed, but upon hearing this, he paused and slowly lowered his arms.

Walking to Huzi's bed again, he turned over the quilt, and before the smell escaped, he lifted up the wooden board that was slightly raised underneath.

The contents inside were exposed, and everyone present had a surprised expression on their faces.

There was no other reason, but there was a compartment built out of stones under Huzi's bed, which was filled with gravel.

Those crushed stones are not ordinary stones. There are dots of golden color dotted on the stone shell, shining faintly.

Apparently it's all gold ore.

The few people living with Huzi have already exclaimed: "It's gold!"

"Huzi actually hid so much gold!"

"Where did he dig it out? It's too lucky!"

"..."

Rong Ying looked at the pile of shining stones under the bed, feeling exactly the same emotion in her heart.

The Sang family's luck must have been a little bit too good, they could dig out gold even if they dug iron ore.

Lu Zhou was not affected by the surrounding sounds, he picked up a stone and rubbed it in his hand, his face was a little gloomy: "I know where the tiger is."
