lucky to meet

When alive, give them small things made of clay.

Shangguan Yun was drinking tea by the side. Although he was not from a noble family, he had an extraordinary background. He had seen and played with these little gadgets of the human race.Looking at the reaction of the two brothers, I wanted to laugh, but I could understand.

Xia Yi asked someone to pack a box of gadgets for the two brothers. The two couldn't put it down, wanting to play but afraid of breaking it.

A few days later, the two brothers got used to the human race a little bit and let go a little bit.After much deliberation, Xia Yi decided to let Ling Ying work in a restaurant. The restaurant is a good place to train people, and Ling Xia learned from the cashier from the restaurant's husband.

Xia Yi invited the shopkeeper of Xia's Restaurant and handed Ling Xia Lingying over to him.

Zhou Mingyu asked Shangguan Yun to find a way to set up a large teleportation formation in Gucun and Mocheng, and Shangguan Yun left with a sad face.

Xia Yi is going to go to the Mozu Tianluo City to start the shop after the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Mingyu left, taking Xiaowei with her.

Xia Yuan didn't go home for the New Year, Lin Rou complained that she had promised to bring the girl back for the New Year, and she had to wait until next year. Is it so difficult for her to hold a grandson?

In the mansion, as in previous years, those who have families will go home a few days in advance, and those who have not returned will stay in the mansion for the new year.

The two brothers Ling Xia and Ling Ying, Xia Yi was picked up by someone to celebrate the New Year together, children are quick to accept new things, their personality is always cheerful and outgoing.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the two brothers set off fireworks, and Xia Yi stood on the porch, watching them fight each other, thinking of herself and Xia Yuan.

Time flies. He has been in this world for 21 years. In previous years, Xia Yuan never came back, but this year he misses him very much.

In the realm, there are dangers everywhere, not only dangers from the realm, but more dangers from people with two legs.

Xia Yuan was covered in blood and carried Mu Xue through the woods. He had just escaped from the hands of the demons.

It's not just them. Now when the demon races and fairy gates in the domain meet, either you die or I live.

This morning when he and a few fellow disciples were hunting for a strange beast, they fell into a trap.He fought desperately, but only fled with Mu Xue, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Just after the Lantern Festival, Xia Yi took Xia Qing and sister Mei to set off for the Demon Race again. He will stay in the Demon Race for more than half a year this trip.

However, a letter from Xicheng stopped Xia Yi in his tracks.

A spiritual mine in Xia's family collapsed, and the miners were buried inside.Xia Yi supported his forehead with his hands, how could it have collapsed? Xia Yi has always paid attention to safety in the mine, and has been reinforced by others. There has been basically no accident in these years.

Xia Yi didn't dare to say anything else, but his family put the safety of the mine first, and no one dared to put it second.

Uncle Dong frowned, "Master, the carriage is ready."

"Let's go."

Sister Mei was already in the carriage, and the team went straight to the teleportation mansion.

Originally it was agreed that Xia Yin would go and have a look, but Xia Yi's plan remained unchanged.However, Xia Yin caught a cold a few days ago and seemed to be recovering soon, but suddenly developed a fever last night.Xia Yi asked him to have a good rest at home, and he would come back after taking a look.

On the avenue on the outskirts of Xicheng, a group of chariots and horses hurried towards the distant mountains.

Inside the carriage, Xia Yi closed his eyes, holding a piece of letter paper in his hand.

The cause of the collapse in the cave is unknown, and the site of the collapse is being excavated. A total of 260 people were trapped, and there is little chance that they are still alive.

Xia Yi hasn't slept much during this time, and has a splitting headache.

Sister Mei sighed inwardly at the side, lit some soothing incense, "Master, you should sleep for a while, we are already heading to the mine."

Xia Yi opened his eyes, the eyeballs were bloodshot.Put the letter back in the envelope, lean back halfway on the cushion, and close your eyes again.

Xishan is a huge mountain range, which is rich in spiritual stones. After the coexistence of the three clans, the spiritual stones here were mined, and the western city gradually formed its current scale.

A middle-aged man with a mustache outside the mine pointed contemptuously at the people in front of him and said, "Stay away from me, don't get dirt on me."

Xia Sanwang is a distant relative of Xia's family. As a small boss in the mine, he lived a comfortable life. Who knew that some time ago, the mine suddenly made a loud noise and collapsed.

"Yes, yes, my lord, some corpses have been dug up, do you want to go and have a look." Xia Sanwang wiped the dirt on his body.

"Hmph, what's so interesting about a few corpses, roll around." The middle-aged man waved his hands in disgust.

The middle-aged man was from the City Lord's Mansion in Xicheng, named Hu Ma, and there were a few guards standing beside him.

Xia Sanwang walked to the entrance of the mine and spat secretly, cursing in a low voice: What is it.

The miner nearby said to him, "Xia Tou, don't be as knowledgeable as a dog."

Xia Sanwang glanced at the end of the road and said, "Young Master, I guess it's almost here!"

A group of carriages appeared at the end of the road, Xia Sanwang rubbed his eyes!

Um?It seems that... the young master is here.

He has been suffering a lot these days, "Young Master, Young Master, you are here." Xia Shanwang's voice was choked with sobs.

Xia Yi got out of the carriage and patted him on the shoulder. Xia Sanwang was a good man and a smart man. Although he was greedy for money, he knew that those things should not be greedy.

Hu Ma glanced at Xia Yi, and said strangely, "Are you the second son of the Xia family?"

Xia Yi has never seen Hu Ma, but he knows who he is. In Xia Sanwang's letter, he scolded him up to the eighteenth generation of his ancestors.

"Master Hu." Xia Yi replied politely, ignored him, and walked towards the corpse.

There are twenty or thirty corpses on the ground. These are the miners who have not had time to escape and were buried at the entrance of the cave. The deepest one has not been dug out.

Xia Yi squatted next to the corpse, lifted his face covered by clothes, his face was no longer recognizable.

Sister Mei worried on the side, "Master."

Xia Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and said in a deep voice, "Uncle Dong, give him a decent burial, there are wives and children at home, please settle down well."

Uncle Dong clasped his hands, leaned over slightly, "Don't worry, master."

Hu Ma, with his hands behind his back, glanced at the corpse on the ground, "Master Xia, this mine collapsed anyway, it won't cut corners, the city lord is still waiting for me to return to my life!"

Xia Yi stood up, feeling a little dizzy, eyes darkened, dared not move, stood for a while before saying, "Not so fast, if you want to go back to your life, you have to trouble Mr. Hu to stay here for more than a month."

Hu Ma stared and shouted, "What, it will take more than a month, are you kidding me?"

Xia Yi pointed to the entrance of the cave and said, "Master Hu, if you want to hurry up, let's go in and dig together. If you dig through, you can return to your life sooner."

After speaking, he brought Jiawei into the mine. Xia Sanwang was afraid that the mine would collapse again and wanted to stop him. Sister Mei shook her head. She knew Xia Yi.

The mine has been dug a third, Xia Yi picked up the two shovels beside him, and threw one to Xia Qing, "Help."

The miners could probably guess who was coming, and they were moved.

13. West City

The forty guards brought by Xia Yi eased the pressure on the miners, and the mining speed also increased.

Everyone counted the days in their hearts. On the eighth day, there were more and more corpses. At most, more than [-] people were trapped in a small space and died due to lack of oxygen.

Xia Yi's face was buried in the darkness, and he couldn't see his face clearly. He had been staying in the mine for the past eight days, and when he was tired, he would lie on the ground for a while.Grind the bleeding blister with both hands, wrap a cloth strip casually around it a few times, and continue digging.

Sister Mei and Xia Qing looked at each other, worried that Xia Yi hadn't said a word in the past eight days.

"Take a break." Xia Qing handed him the water bottle.

Xia Yi took a sip from the kettle, returned it to Xia Qing, and continued digging.

No. In 12 days, 120 corpses have been dug up. Xia Yi dug to the end, people are numb, their heads are blank, and their bodies are subconscious.

Since No. 13 days, no corpses have been dug up. There is a glimmer of hope in everyone's heart, maybe...

All the people dug in desperately, even if there was only a glimmer of hope.

"It's been dug through, it's been dug through." A hoarse voice sounded in the mine.

On No.18 days, I finally dug through.

Xia Yi was lying on the ground to rest, and when she heard the voice, she got up from the ground reflexively, wanting to run forward, but getting up too fast, her eyes darkened, and she fell forward.

Xia Sanwang was beside him, exclaiming, "Master."

As soon as Xia Yi signaled Xia Sanwang to help him over, she heard screams and vomiting coming from the front.

A chill ran up his back and rushed to the back of his head. Xia Yi broke away from Xia Sanwang and walked forward.

The miner wanted to stop him, but he pushed him away, took the torch, and shone it into the last space.

The four sides of the space are spirit stones, which reflect fire, making the whole space bright. There is a dark hole directly in front of him. The hole is very large, almost six meters in diameter.

There is a breeze at the entrance of the cave, and the wind carries the unique rotten smell of meat, and it goes straight into the nose, making people sick.

The black marks on the wall are blood, and the ground is full of crushed human tissues.140 seven people were dug out, and the remaining 110 three people are all here.

Xia Yi clenched his teeth, suddenly the back of his neck hurt, his eyes went dark, and he fell back, Xia Qing caught him.

Xia Sanwang looked at Xia Qing, unable to speak, Xia Qing said to him, "Let them let it out first, I'm looking for someone to clean it up tomorrow."

Xia Sanwang touched the back of his neck and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll let them go out first."

Xia Qing hugged Xia Yi and ran out of the mine. Xia Yi had been supporting herself these days.It was a foregone conclusion, knocking Xia Yi out was to force him to rest.

Xia Qing knew that Xia Yi wouldn't blame him if he woke up, but the following offense was a fact, and when he went back, he would go and receive the punishment himself.

Hu Ma crossed his legs, sat where Xia Sanwang usually sat, and looked at the entrance of the mine.

After taking a sip of tea, he glanced at the miner sitting on the ground resting, with a flash of disgust in his eyes.

He came to the west city a few years ago, and he got to his current position by relying on small tricks to climb up to the city lord's favored concubine.

Hu Ma sighed in his heart, people have to use all means to climb up, or else they have to climb up.
