[ABO] The Sparrow in the Threshold

outside the mine.

The few who followed the little steward were standing outside the mine smoking, and immediately relaxed when no one restrained them. They all hunched over or stood or squatted, not caring whether the workers around them were lazy or whether there were new ones. People broke into this so-called private territory.

"You said that after the official mining here, will we raise our salary..."

"Who knows, I can't surrender anyway, and I won't do it if I surrender..."

They were chatting, when suddenly a thick male voice broke into their conversation: "Standing here chatting, and still want a raise? I think you don't even want your life."

"Luo, Brother Luo!"

The squatting people staggered to stand up, and the standing people quickly straightened their backs, and each of them lowered their heads towards the coming person in a panic.

At best, the little steward is in charge of them, but this brother Luo in front of him is different—he is in charge of the affairs of the entire mine, and his behavior is quite cold-blooded. Some time ago, he was beaten and thrown to the mountain for committing a crime unlucky.

"Brother Luo, aren't you... resting..."

The person who asked was the guy who went to the shed and asked "Did the family send someone to inspect?"

Luo rubbed his temples, and there were several deep lines between his brows: "Where did Uld take people?"

Someone pointed to the mine: "It's been a while since I went in, and I said it's to see how the progress is going inside..."

"Go to the warehouse, there are two boxes of things in the southeast corner, bring one box here." Luo took out a cigarette from his jacket pocket, tilted his head and motioned for one of them to do it, and someone immediately handed it to him courteously, "...huh, You guys have nothing to do, right, just wait for him to come over."

After a cigarette, the box was pushed to the front of the mine by a cart.

People outside may not know what this is, but they have been in this mine for a month or two, and they can recognize what the symbols on the box mean at a glance—it is the explosives used to open the box.Several people looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Luo's gourd; the man threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, crushed it with his toe, and said, "Move this in, it's 15 meters deep; light the fuse and come out; you take these Take it up and blow it up on the mine... Don't worry, the power is at most enough to collapse this hole, and there will be no danger."

"This, this... Brother Luo, the steward and the people sent by the family are still inside..." "The young master didn't send anyone at all," Luo Chen said, "Those two are here to die."

"But you also said...tomorrow..."

"I don't say that, how could they get in." Luo said impatiently, "This is what the higher-ups mean. Someone will come to the mine in the next few days, and they will be killed immediately; you are questioning me by asking so many questions. Are you still questioning it?"

"No, no! I didn't mean that!"

"Uld searched for oil and water in the mine all day long, did you think I didn't know? It was cheap for him to let him die directly. This was a demonstration for you at the time. Under the hands of the Yin family, the only thing he could do was to work hard. There is a way of life... why don't you go soon?"

They quickly unpacked the box, took out the packs of explosives inside, and trotted into the mine without daring to ask any more questions.

Luo reprimanded unhappily: "Be quiet! I'm afraid they won't hear you?!"

-

Hearing the little steward's footsteps getting farther away and his voice becoming weaker, Yinque said angrily to Qianqiu: "Do you want to take something away?"

The light of the miner's lamp was still shining on the glittering gold ore, and the man thought for a moment: "...Take it, I'll get it."

"But he said, it's best not to move around...in case of a landslide..." Yinque frowned slightly.

He understands the ore business, but he doesn't know how to mine; what can be touched and what can't be touched, Yinque can only guess intuitively.It is not uncommon for mines to collapse due to mining mistakes, at least he doesn't want to be buried alive.

He looked at Qian Qiu, as if he was waiting for the man to give him an answer.

"No," the man reached out to touch a crack, and said very calmly, "With me here, what are you afraid of?"

"Alpha isn't made of iron either."

"Alpha is at least capable of protecting its own Omega."

The man's voice was very deep, the words seemed to be showing his almost conceited confidence in himself, and also seemed to be hidden love words.All the light was focused on the ore, causing Ginque's face to melt into the darkness, just enough to hide the twinkle in his eyes.

Smart enough, strong enough, and has a family background that is evenly matched to the past.

The most important thing is that Silver Sparrow doesn't hate being touched by him—whether it's snuggling, kissing, or even rubbing each other's ears.

And now I can add one more point, he can often feel loved in some actions and words of a man.It's like an illusion, and I can't find any strong evidence; but the illusion comes too often, and it can fool my brain.

Yinque took a deep breath, restrained other thoughts, and concentrated on paying attention to the movements of the little steward.

The man grabbed the gap with his strong fingers and gently pried it a few times.The cracks began to spread visibly with the naked eye, and the small cracking sound was also loud in the mine, with fine sand mixed with small stones falling down.Soon Qianqiu achieved his goal and got a piece of ore half the size of his palm.He looked down for a moment, and although the stone accounted for more than half of it, the gold that could be attached was enough to complete his plan.

Just at the right time, the steward's belt buckle rang, and then footsteps began to approach them.

"...Look, nothing is wrong." The man smiled silently, squinting at Yinque, "You don't have to worry at all."

"Yeah, amazing." Yinque also smiled, "I like to see you look conceited."

Looking at each other for only a moment, they seemed to have temporarily lost their identities in this deep and dark mine.There is no second master Yin who is in the sky, nor is there a young master whose family is ruined. They are not partners married because of love, nor are they false marriages in the struggle of interests.

They are complicit.

In the turbid mud of the world, none of them struggled to get out of the mud; they were surprisingly similar, welcoming the filth, and just carrying the filth all over their bodies, they wanted to set off a bigger storm in the dark tide.

Obviously they didn't promise each other what to do together, but at this moment, in the sight of the intersection, this feeling came out of nowhere.

And they both know that the other side thinks the same way.

The sound of footsteps was close at hand, Qianqiu stuffed the ore he got into the inner pocket of his coat, and said in a low voice: "Yinque, I..."

"Boom!"

It is equivalent to the fact that the fourth princess unexpectedly survived. There will always be deviations in the execution of the plan, no matter how well thought out it is beforehand.

What they greeted first was not the little steward who came back after solving the internal emergency, but the deafening explosion.Violent shaking followed, sand and stones fell down in large quantities, and the sound of rock cracks could still be heard under the tinnitus, as if the fear of millipedes crawling over the scalp instantly overwhelmed people.

The scream of the little steward not far away disappeared in the sticky sound of heavy objects smashing flesh and blood. Yinque was staggered by the shock, and unconsciously stretched out his hand to grab something, but he didn't catch anything.

Even Qianqiu was messed up by this unexpected explosion.

No one could keep calm, and the haze of life-threatening entangled the two of them in the chaotic situation.

However, the explosion didn't stop, and it came again soon-someone wanted them to die here.At a loss, Qianqiu realized this, and could easily pull out the black hand behind him, and there was no one else except Yin Qiansui.

The miner's lamp dropped his hand immediately, smashed it to the ground and extinguished it.

In the darkness, the man was hit all over by the sand and rocks falling from his head, and the crack was constantly expanding.

He unconsciously grasped the support pole and looked up instinctively.Still faintly visible in the darkness was a huge slab circled by cracks that were loosening and bound to come down with the next explosion.

—There stood the Silver Sparrow.

Yinque, who was pushed against the wall by the impact and shaking, yelled, "Qianqiu?! Qianqiu..."

"Boom-"

He could see Silver Sparrow's frightened face.

The man didn't know whether it was what his vision allowed him to see, or whether it was imagined during the crisis.At the moment when the boulder slab loosened and fell off, as if he had lost control of his body, he rushed towards Yinque.

"what!……"

After a short exclamation, Yinque fell to the ground, with the man's face in front of his eyes.

The stone slab fell with a bang, hitting the man's strong back unceremoniously, and then slipped aside and shattered on the ground.The man didn't even cry out, only a muffled groan filled with stickiness in his chest.Immediately afterwards, the warm liquid was sprayed on Yinque's cheeks and neck, with a fishy-sweet and musky smell.

The man's breathing was heavy and rapid, but his arms were stretched straight against the wall, and he didn't relax at all because of the pain.

Omega was stunned under the protection of the man. In the mine that was rapidly falling apart and was about to become ruins, only the two of them stood still at this moment.

Panting, the man barely moved his lips——

"I'm here."

Yinque didn't hear his voice at all, but somehow knew what he said.

How can I survive in the collapsed mine, how can I protect my vitals, can I wait for rescue... I can't think about anything anymore.The only thought left in Yinque's mind was "why".

Why protect him like this.

Why act like... in love with him.

There was no time for them to think about anything else, and the explosion came again.The earth was shaking and the ground was cracking under their feet, and perhaps they would have fallen to their deaths in the ground before being stoned to death and buried alive by rubble.Neither he nor Qianqiu could react when the next wave of turmoil came.

They were like two fallen leaves caught in a vortex, their consciousness collapsed suddenly, their bodies were pushed and they didn't know what would happen next.

The pain becomes less real.

The series of explosions lasted about 1 minute, and the mine quickly returned to calm.

A lot of smoke and dust floated out from the entrance of the cave, and Luo took a few steps back covering his mouth and nose, and said with satisfaction: "Let's leave this place alone for the time being...you continue to guard the entrance and exit."

"Yes Yes!"
