Jumping beam clown mixed history

"Are you afraid of them?"

Geng Er nodded with a bitter face, "Every time they come down, many people will suffer and even die. And they are very, very greedy, as long as they find a chance to search, they will search for all the good things. And even take If they mess things up, they will make a mess of things that were well placed, and they will make the house very dirty. Every time they come, I have to tidy up for a long time." For him, it is really It was worse than beating him.

"No, I have to go back and put away my things." Geng Er turned around and left, Chuan Shan grabbed him.

"Let's talk after changing things. By the way, how often do the jailers come down?"

Geng Er was a bit reluctant, he wanted to go back and put away his things, but he didn't want Chuan Shan to see where he had put all his things.

"Either you go..."

"Say!" Chuanshan stared.

Geng Eryi shivered, and hurriedly said, "About every two months, sometimes because of special circumstances. This time it has not been two months since they came down last time."

"Then do you know why this time?" Chuanshan thought it might be because he smashed the air duct.

Geng Er scratched his head, maybe his head was wrapped too tightly, it was a little itchy.

"It should be Ding Laosan and the others who reported the collapse of the mine. In addition, many people died in the past month or so, and they came down to count the number of people."

"Oh? Why do you need to count the number of people? Are you afraid that people will escape? Has someone escaped here before?" Chuanshan's heart beat a little faster.

"no."

"No?" Chuanshan's heart sank.

"How long have you been here?" Chuanshan said suddenly.

"It's been seven years, if I remember correctly."

"Then you should be more familiar with this place?"

"I can't say I'm familiar with it, but which mines can be used and which ones can't be used, where there is enough coal, and where the mine has been dug almost. I still know a little bit." Geng Er didn't understand why he asked these questions, but he still answered honestly.

"You've been here for so long, haven't you thought about...escape?" After Chuanshan asked this sentence, he fixed his eyes on Geng Er.

"You want to escape?" Geng Er didn't seem surprised at all, pulled the wrapping towel on his forehead, and said with a wry smile, "Who hasn't thought about it? But you can't get out here."

"How come? Digging can also dig a path."

Geng Er was silent for a while, then said: "I only know that those who tried to dig a way out to escape are all dead."

"why?"

"The situation here is much more dangerous than you imagined. Once you enter, you will easily lose your way. If you don't stay here for a long time, you won't even be able to tell the difference between the south, the north, and the north.

If you only rely on one person, if you dig up, there is no support to support the wall, and you will be killed by the falling stones and soil if you hit it; If the dirt in the back passage collapses, you've just dug yourself a grave; sometimes it floods and even explodes. "

"What if many people work together?"

"Same. Even if you don't mention the complicated terrain, the informant system and even sitting here can curb most escape plans."

"Information system? Even sitting?"

"If someone finds someone trying to escape by digging a hole, as long as he exposes that person to the jailer, he can be transferred to work on it. This is the whistle-blowing system. Lianzu means that if someone escapes, once found, everyone in the jail Everyone who works in the mine will lose their source of livelihood. And the flues and ventilation holes that we rely on for survival will all be blocked.”

"Damn it, it's cruel."

Geng Er sighed helplessly, "Yes, with these two systems in place, everyone restrains each other, and no one can escape. Besides, the jailers here will come down every two months to collect spirit stones. Individuals. At that time, everyone had to gather in the square. If more than ten people did not show up, the jailers would search hole by hole under the leadership of the guide. So although there were murders here, they were not rampant. "

After Geng Er finished speaking, he glanced at Chuan Shan, as if to say: As far as I know, you are the first one who single-handedly slaughtered eight or nine people when you first came here.

Chuanshan saw the meaning in his eyes and smiled cruelly.This is the way this world is, the strong prey on the weak, and sometimes even you have done nothing wrong, and you will be killed by others.It's okay for me to be like this, at least people don't offend me, and I won't offend others.

Chuanshan didn't realize that his thoughts and even the moral values ​​he had established since he was a child were changing little by little.What is right and what is wrong has gradually blurred the boundaries in his mind.

There are long queues at the trading desk.One by one, the miners moved forward dragging the coal baskets, exchanging their hard-earned income for the necessities of life in this black prison.

The coal from the coal baskets was dumped into coal wagons and carried out of the mines by the miners who worked on the ground and drove the animals.

Chuanshan stared at the coal trucks calmly, making up his mind.

Geng Er suddenly bumped into him lightly.

Chuanshan turned his head.

"useless."

Chuanshan frowned.

"There are a lot of jailers guarding the outside of the mine. The coal carts are inspected three times before they leave the mine, and when the coal is finally unloaded, there are guards on both sides. No chance."

Chuanshan was a little strange, how did he know what was going on in his heart?Is it so easy for others to see your thoughts?Chuanshan's heart shuddered, and he became more and more in control of the changes in his expression.

"How do you know this?"

"I know it's been a long time. Would you like us to change to some meat today?" Geng Er licked his lips, his eyes showed eagerness: "There is no fresh meat here, but bacon and cured meat are good, but they are a bit expensive."

Chuanshan may not have been here for a long time, and his desire for meat is not strong. He shook his head and said, "I'll talk about it later, first change some medicines, and replace all the rest with food. Is there enough water?"

"There is enough water." Hearing that Chuanshan did not agree to change the meat, Geng Er was a little disappointed, and whispered again unwillingly: "The medicines here are not good, and they are all the worst. It is better to use them than not to use them."

"Badness is medicine, it's better than waiting to die."

Geng Er's lips moved, as if talking about something but no sound came out.

Chuanshan didn't care, and dragged the coal basket forward.

Most of the people in line are talking to the people around them, and sometimes they greet each other when they see acquaintances.At first glance, there is no difference from the miners outside.

Chuanshan noticed that many people seemed to know Geng Er, but no one greeted him.On the contrary, those who saw him seemed to have a bit of contempt and disgust in their eyes.Sometimes people will stare at them while bowing their heads and talking to each other.

At this time, there was a commotion from behind.

Chuanshan and Geng Er turned their heads together.

I saw a middle-aged man who was not tall, thin, with scars on his face, and was very strong. He was shirtless and came forward carrying a load of coal.He didn't line up in a first-come, first-served order like everyone else, but went all the way forward without stopping.

The strange thing is that the people who lined up at the back didn't say a word of dissatisfaction. Instead, they gave way one after another, making way for him.

Chuanshan saw the middle-aged man walking past him with a load of coal and walking to the front in one go.The old miner, who had already waited for the exchange, immediately moved out of the way to let him trade first.

"Who is he?" Chuanshan asked in a low voice.

"Ji Fourteen. A loner with a weird temper and very difficult to mess with. He is listed as one of the top ten evil spirits." Geng Er also replied in a low voice.

"Ten Fiends?"

"Well, they are the ten people in the mine who are least offended. It is best to avoid them. These ten people have some special abilities, and even Boss Ding and Geng Liu dare not provoke them easily."

"He exchanges things at Boss Ding's trading office, isn't it under Boss Ding's banner?"

Geng Er shook his head, "These ten people, no, there is a group of people, I think you should have heard from Xin Yisansi that there is a group of forces in the mine besides Boss Ding, Geng Liu, and Thirteen Niang Ji. The fixed heads are all desperadoes, they don’t obey the orders of Boss Ding and Geng Liu, but they also won’t take the initiative to confront them. This group of people can exchange things at any trading place they want.”

"Oh?"

"But this group of people died the fastest." Geng Er continued.

"why?"

"Kill each other. They have no scruples about killing each other. If you want to get more sources of life and spirit stones, snatching is the fastest way."

"How to tell them apart?"

"Look at the baskets or burdens. Boss Ding and Geng Liu's baskets have different patterns at the mouth. If you don't want to listen to these two orders, just remove or destroy the special pattern on the baskets."

Geng Er pointed to their baskets, and was reminded by Geng Er that Chuanshan noticed the difference in the mouth of the baskets.Boss Ding’s subordinates, like their baskets, weaved a group of “X”-shaped patterns under the top side basket; Geng Liu’s subordinates in the distance, weaved them into an “I”-shaped pattern; Jisi Fourteen, his basket was only reinforced with a circle of rattan around the place where there should have been a pattern.

Chuan Shan was so engrossed in watching that he didn't notice that Ji Shishi stopped beside them.

Chuan Shan raised his head, and found that Ji Shishi only glanced at him, and then looked at Geng Er who shrank his head.

Then Chuanshan saw Ji Shisi whisper something in Geng Er's ear, Geng Er wrinkled his face and nodded reluctantly.

Ji Shishi glanced at Geng Er expressionlessly, as if warning him.

Geng Er lowered his head, Ji Shishi left without saying anything.

Chuanshan turned his head, everyone has their own secrets.If Geng Er didn't want to say it, he wouldn't force him either.

Geng Er didn't seem to have thought of explaining to Chuan Shan, he just wrinkled his face and kept moving his mouth, like a person with... a sick mind.

And Chuanshan also noticed that the miners who were talking to each other while watching them all turned their heads and shut their mouths tightly after seeing what Ji Shisi said to Geng Er.

It was Ding Laosan and some of his cronies who were in charge of dispatching the items.

Seeing Chuanshan and Geng Er coming up, Ding Laosan waved to Chuanshan and motioned to speak aside.

Chuanshan handed all the things to Geng Er, said what he wanted to change, and then walked into the back shed with Ding Laosan.

Ding Laosan didn't have other things to look for him, but asked him why he wasn't with Xin Yisansi, and asked him if he knew where Xin Yisansi was now.

Chuan Shan paused, and said, "Kill it."

Ding Laosan was stunned, then nodded, but didn't say anything else.

Chuanshan smiled in his heart.At first, he was worried that Ding Laosan would have a bad reaction when he knew he had killed Xin Yisansi.But after these two days, when he calmed down and thought about it, he figured out something strange for him.

Judging from Ding Laosan's attitude towards him, he should appreciate him more, or want to win over him.So why would he send Xin Yisansi, who likes to take advantage of others and is not a good teacher at all, to lead the person he wants to win over?

It just happened that he learned from Geng Er that Xin Yisansi was not as likable as his face in this prison, so the meaning of Ding Laosan sending Xin Yisansi to take him with him is worth pondering.

Now that Xin Yisansi is dead, no one will know the reason except Ding Laosan himself.But Chuanshan, based on his own analysis, came to the conclusion that Ding Laosan wanted to use Xin Yisansi's hand to test himself.Maybe its real purpose is to use his hand to kill Xin Yisansi.So when he told the truth, he also wanted to see how Ding Laosan would react.

"Why did you get together with Geng Er?" Ding Lao San asked with a slight frown, avoiding the topic of Xin Yi San Si.

Chuanshan replied with a smile: "He accidentally saw me killing Xin Yisansi. I didn't want him to talk too much, so I wanted to kill him. He begged me and promised to be my cow and horse, so I left him."

Ding Laosan was startled, then rejoiced, "It's a good thing you didn't kill him."

"why?"

Ding Laosan hesitated for a while, and did not answer Chuanshan's question directly, but said: "It is not your luck to be with him, I advise you to leave him as soon as possible. If you are worried that you are not familiar with the mine, I will Someone else can take you with you for a while.”

Chuanshan was very clear-headed, and did not reject Ding Laosan on the spot. He nodded and said, "Okay, but I'm afraid it's not right to leave immediately. After a while, I will find a reason to leave him."

"Don't kill him." Ding Laosan warned him.

Chuanshan looked at him.

Ding Laosan sighed slightly, "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason now, this is the agreement of some of our old people. He can die from mine accidents, diseases, and all natural deaths, but not by human hands. As for the The reason, maybe in the future... one day you will know."

Chuanshan was curious, but wisely, he didn't ask any more questions.

Ding Laosan dispelled his doubts and didn't talk to Chuan Shanduo anymore, and the two walked out of the shed.

Geng Er stepped forward and called "Third Master", and then happily said to Chuan Shan: "Everything is changed, let's go back."

After Chuanshan and Ding Laosan saluted, they left with Geng Er.

Chuanshan and Geng Er didn't know that Geng Liu stood at the door of the trading office under his influence behind them on the right, looking at their backs with a gloomy face.

Back at the residence, Chuanshan took out the exchanged items from the basket one by one.After a while, a roar burst out: "Geng Er! Where is the medicine I asked you to change?"

Geng Er was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the oil-paper bag he had just taken out from his pocket fell to the ground with a "pata".

Chuan Shan turned his head, saw the things that fell on the ground, and cursed angrily: "You pig! You just know how to eat it! Take it for me and replace it with wound medicine! Hurry up!"

Geng Er shook his legs, bent down to pick up the bacon on the ground, mustered up his courage and whispered: "I, I won't go."

"What did you say?"

"I, I won't go." The voice was a little louder.

"Damn it!" Chuanshan rolled up his sleeves angrily.

"What are you doing?" Geng Er grabbed the piece of bacon, his eyes rolled around, and he ran away suddenly.

"Run? Stop here! I'm going to kill you, a foodie, today."

Geng Er's legs and feet were not as fast as Chuan Shan's, and Chuan Shan was closer to the gate than him.Chuanshan caught him in three or two strokes.

Chuan Shan caught him, squeezed his fists, and hit him on the head, cursing as he hit: "You pig's head will be broken if it breaks, it's your fault if you don't want to treat it. Damn it, what about my injury? Ah? Tell me!"

Geng Er held the bacon tightly with one hand, and tried his best to protect his head with the other, crying out in a crying voice: "It hurts, hurts, stop beating!"

"Don't fight? If you don't fight, I don't think you're enlightened at all! Let me ask you, is life or food more important? Tell me!"

"Woooo!"

"Don't cry! Why are big men crying?"

"Woooo..."

"Give me the meat!

'

Geng Er held on tightly and refused to let go.

Chuan Shan was so angry that his veins popped out, he slashed at Geng's second wrist with his palm.

Geng Er was in pain, his palm loosened, and the cured meat fell to the ground.

Chuanshan picked up the bacon, pushed Geng Er away, and ignored him grinning and howling non-stop, slammed the door and went to change the dressing.

Geng Er was pushed by Chuan Shan and sat down on the ground, rubbing his head and crying.

Woohoo, he read it right, this person is a bad guy, the devil!Not a nice guy!

When Chuanshan came back to change his dressing, he found that Geng Er was not in the house, and he didn't come back after waiting for a while, and he didn't bother to wait for him any longer, so he got something to eat.Not long after eating, the attack every three hours started again.

When Geng Er came back, Chuan Shan had passed out from the pain.

After making sure that Chuanshan would not wake up, he secretly put away the oiled paper bag hidden in his arms.Take another look, um, I didn't wake up.Geng Er hurriedly put away all the things he was about to put away, so as not to be ruined by the jailer the next day.

After finishing all this, Geng Er took a stone kitchen knife and tiptoed to the Chuanshan bed. Seeing that he was still unconscious, he immediately raised the kitchen knife and gestured bitterly at his head several times. he.After cursing a few words in anger, he turned around and went to use the real function of the kitchen knife.

There were a lot less dishes, Geng Er was so angry that he dropped the kitchen knife, walked to the stove angrily, and lifted the earthen pot that was stewed on the stove.

Geng Er watched Wen eating from half of the jar, and fell silent.

Silent all night.

After climbing up the mountain in the morning and lighting the candles, I was a little dazed looking at the empty cave.

Is he dreaming?

He squeezed his thigh, it hurt, he wasn't dreaming.

But what about the things in the house?

Did that kid take advantage of the time when he was in a coma to put everything in the pot?

Chuan Shan turned his head, if it wasn't for the kid opening his mouth and sleeping on his back like a pig, he might really think so.

"Hey! Get up, where are the things at home?"

Geng Er opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was him, turned over and ignored him.

"I asked you where the things are? You put them away? Where did you receive them?" Chuan Shan stretched out his foot and kicked his ass.

Geng Er turned over and sat up with a "huh", staring at him angrily.

"What are you doing? Want to fight?" Chuanshan clasped his hands and flexed his wrists.

Geng Er got up, pushed him away, walked to the toilet, untied his belt to pee.

Chuanshan raised his eyebrows, what does this guy mean?Silent protest?

Just about to go over and teach him a little lesson, "Kuang Kuang Kuang!" The piercing sound of the gong echoed in the huge cave, forming a long echo.

As soon as Geng Er heard the sound of the gong, he immediately quickened his steps, put on his trousers, opened the door and ran without even washing his face.

Chuanshan guessed that the sound of the gong might have something to do with the jailer coming down, so he followed him out of the door.

As soon as I went out, I found that people came out from all over the cave, and the stairs were bustling for a while, although it was chaotic but not noisy.

Soon, the miners quickly gathered in the square.

Today's square is a bit different, there are many more lanterns at once, and it looks brighter than usual.

"Hurry up! Don't dawdle! Those who fail to arrive by more than one stick of incense will be punished with twenty sticks!"

Shouts came from the high platform of the square, and immediately, the miners who hadn't arrived at the square ran up one by one.Those who ran slowly were pushed down from behind. The miners who fell did not get up even if they wanted to, and some miners who were afraid that they would not be able to catch up stepped on him directly.

No wonder that guy Geng Er ran faster than anything else when he heard the sound of the gong.The screams sounded one after another.While stepping up his pace, Chuan Shan was careful not to be pushed down, while looking up towards the high platform.He is tall, and no matter how many people are in front of him, he can see clearly.

I saw about [-] jailers appearing on the high platform, and the leader was the middle-aged jailer who branded him that day, but he changed his lazy look and joined the other jailers, holding sharp knives and looking fiercely on guard. with.

Killing intent emerged from Chuanshan's heart.He lowered his head so that no one would notice the murderous intent in his eyes.

In less than a cup of tea, the square was already full of miners.Even female miners, who are rarely seen at ordinary times, also appeared in the square.

The three forces were distinct, and Chuanshan noticed that people like Jisi were scattered everywhere and did not gather together.

"Kuang Kuang Kuang." Three gongs sounded, and the middle-aged jailer on the high platform shouted: "Quiet me! Those who didn't make it to the square will be dragged there and punished with twenty sticks! Ding Erwu, Geng Liu , You send someone to count the number of people and line up the team for me, don’t make such a mess.”

"Forgive me! King Ma Yan, please forgive me!" He fell to the ground and begged for mercy with the miner who almost missed.

Chuanshan found that these miners were basically old and frail, and it was not known how many of them would survive the [-]-stick punishment.

"Shut up! Quiet everyone! If you make more noise, add another twenty!"

All of a sudden, the square became extremely quiet.After receiving the order, Ding and Geng dispatched their cronies to work together and start counting the number of people according to the order of the heavenly stem.

Chuanshan saw two more men appearing behind him, Xin Erba[-] and Erbai.[-] looked to be nearly fifty years old, and his hair was half gray; [-] turned out to be only a half-grown child. The child seemed to be in very poor health, standing there coughing non-stop.[-] and [-] seem to know each other, watching [-] feel uncomfortable, [-] has been gently patting his back, comforting him silently.

"Crack, crack, crack." The wolf-like jailers held down the miners who arrived late, and beat them one by one with wooden sticks.While beating and scolding, when they encountered a little resistance or begging for mercy, they kicked hard with their feet.

There were screams one after another, and some miners were beaten until they gradually became silent.

Chuanshan didn't look too much at it. Compassion is not a virtue worth advocating here—this is a reality that he has come to deeply understand in only nine days since he came in.

After counting the number of people, Boss Ding finally reported the number to the middle-aged jailer.When the middle-aged jailer heard the number of people, he frowned and asked Boss Ding something, and finally waved his hand in displeasure, and Boss Ding stepped back.

It was the first time Chuanshan saw Boss Ding. He stood far away and couldn't see clearly. He could only roughly tell that he was a rather strong and middle-aged man.

Three gongs sounded again, soon, car!The sound of rumbling came from the mine tunnel, and a large number of jailers appeared in the square with carriages one by one.

The jailers immediately surrounded the miners in the square in a semi-surrounding form as soon as they got off the carriage, and about ten jailers carrying knives surrounded the two Taoist priests and walked towards the high platform.

Taoist priest?

Chuanshan was puzzled.Why did Taoist priests appear in this mine?What are they doing here?Could it be Ming Juezi's fellow disciple?What is the secret of this mine?

Chuan Shan subconsciously turned his head to look for Geng Er, only to find that the man was quite a distance away from him, his number was at the front, and he was standing at the front.

"Good morning, Daoist. Thank you for your hard work again." The middle-aged jailer took a step forward and said respectfully.

The two Taoist priests, a middle-aged and a young man, ignored the middle-aged jailer and said "hmm" as a response.

The middle-aged jailer seemed to be accustomed to this, and he didn't feel insulted by it. Instead, he respectfully asked the two Taoist priests to take the lead.

"Group A, those with spirit stones come forward!" The middle-aged jailer shouted downward.

No one moved.

"Group B,..."

After reporting to Group E, someone came out from the crowd, walked to the high platform, and took out a stone-like object from his arms.

For a moment, eyes of envy or jealousy cast on this person.

The middle-aged jailer took the stone and immediately handed it to the young Taoist priest.

The young Taoist priest picked up the stone and held it in his palm, closing his eyes as if he was feeling something.After a while, I saw him with a happy face, handing the spirit stone to the middle-aged Taoist priest beside him, and whispering something in his ear.

The middle-aged Taoist said two words lightly: "Zhongpin."

The miner who handed over the ore in the audience raised his head suddenly, as if he was very excited.

"Very good, Wu Liusan, this is the first medium-grade spirit stone you found. You have already handed over six low-grade spirit stones. If you work harder, maybe you will be able to leave here and go home soon. "The middle-aged jailer held a notebook and wrote it down.

"If I can't find middle-grade spirit stones anymore, how many low-grade spirit stones can I find to leave?" the miner asked in a hoarse voice.

The middle-aged jailer gave him a dissatisfied look, and then looked at the two Taoist priests.

It was the middle-aged Taoist who said, "One top grade is worth five middle grades; one middle grade is worth twenty low grades; one hundred low grades can be exchanged for freedom."

The miner's shoulders slumped slightly.There are still 74 low-grade spirit stones, when will he find them?But... there is always hope, isn't it?If there is no hope, I am afraid that he will not be able to persist until today.

Seeing Wu Liusan shuffling back to the original place, Chuanshan felt his heart was heavy.Wu Liusan's age can't be discerned, only roughly between 30 and 50 years old. He is very thin, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, but his hair is black, and his arms are abnormally long, exceeding his knees.

Is he also going to find death here in the hope of finding the spirit stone?But now it is a question of whether he can survive a year.For a moment, deep despair seized him.

Then four more people handed over the spirit stones.They are Jisanniang low-grade two, Jisi fourteen low-grade three, Geng Liu low-grade five, Geng [-] low-grade two.

"Who is Luo Chuanshan?" Suddenly, the young Taoist priest who had been silent on the stage asked.His voice was not loud, but everyone present could hear him clearly.
