Little hero

My former hometown?

Joe was stunned for a while, thinking, gold mine, hometown?He frowned and asked Ge'an, "What are you talking about?"

"I remember that the daily morning newspaper in Jidu once reported about the collapse of the gold mine, which involved many towns and even counties. It was a major corruption case. And during that time, many workers died because of the collapse. Most of their children entered the local correctional institutions, but due to the large number of people and the lack of sufficient resources in remote places, epidemics occurred in several places, and some children refused to obey the corrections and set up small strongholds. Hidden danger."

Ge'an was not polite when talking about this kind of thing: "More than ten years ago, there was such a thing, but the development of the gold mine was immature at that time, there were few people, and the attention was not very high. If you and Edgar If what the young master said is true, then I guess it should be seven or eight years ago during the "Gold Mine Corruption Case", you were rescued by your husband and brought to the fifteenth block."

Joe didn't think he would be understood so clearly by Ge'an, just because of what he said to Lan, he had no choice but to nod: "Yes...you are right, but the matter of the gold mine has actually lasted for a long time. After four or five years in that mine, I managed to escape in the chaos."

For a person like Joe, escaping from the gold mine is the beginning of his freedom, which means that he no longer has to be ordered by greedy rich men, and he doesn't have to do things that exceed the burden of his body and require death.

However, this is also the time when he left his hometown and everything.

Joe's elders, friends, and those who lived and died with him all died under the gold mine and were buried by stones, revealing their dark arms longing for life, but they failed to come out in the end.

Joe always remembered that when he searched for his memory to dig up those fellow countrymen, their bodies were smashed into tatters, and their faces were beyond recognition. The messy picture and the stench made Joe retch. No food, no water to drink, no tears to dry up, no voice to speak—he is not even qualified to mourn for these people.

Joe was immersed in the past, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and Gean was quietly waiting for him.

"Tell me, what are we going to do in the gold mines?"

"Look for some clues," Ge'an said, "I can tell you a few things first. Our Xinji Wright mining gold mine has a long history. Many businessmen are secretly doing this. Before the establishment of the empire 200 years ago. So it is reasonable for the gold mine to collapse during this period, and if it continues to be dug, the country will be empty."

Joe was disgusted by his nonchalant tone, but he didn't dare to say anything. Although Ge'an's attitude was not good, what he did was still acceptable. The most important thing was that Joe never beat him. ability.

"Then tell me," Joe asked, "these gold mines collapsed not long after they collapsed? They collapsed seven or eight years ago. After all this time, what's left? Besides, don't you Don’t you know where it is? It’s so wide, how do you find it? Where do you start looking?”

"Yes, you are right. This is exactly what I am going to tell you." Gean sat on the sofa. The strange thing is that as long as Gean is around, Joe feels that his safety can be guaranteed. It is not only because of his skill that he can see the aura of a strong man.

Ge'an said: "If you look at the newspapers of the past few years, you will find a very interesting thing." Ge'an smiled, and then said, "The plague in the southern sea."

Joe thought about it, but he didn't seem to know about it.

"You're right that you don't know. This happened a year after the gold mine case. At that time, you should have been only ** years old. Fortunately, you came to the [-]th block. Otherwise, you would have caught that kind of plague there."

Because the entire area erupted, no one in the entire gold mine was spared.

It came from the sea area. There are many dead bodies underground in the gold mine, and that area is very hot all year round. It is inevitable that the plague will prevail, but it was only in that area.

But many merchants trade by sea, and those corpses that cannot be disposed of are buried under the quarry, and the rest that are used to avoid the government's audio-visual are put in cars and taken away to fill the sea.

Therefore, the epidemic broke out in the hot and southerly sea area and became out of control.

Gean remembered that incident. He was about the same age as Joe now. Edward had already graduated and was handling some important government affairs under the guidance of his grandfather. No, if you let this kind of thing continue to spread, the price you need to pay is immeasurable.

Edgar, like many citizens at the time, didn't know anything about this matter, but Ge'an already understood what it meant.He thought of Edgar's parents, one was an important member of the Congress Bureau with a slightly oriental face, and the other was a senior bachelor of the Imperial College of Medicine. They lived when Edgar was ten years old, that is, a few years before the outbreak of the epidemic , who used to research a vaccine drug, but was scratched and infected by a crazy experimenter who couldn't bear his own fate during work. After that, the hope of treatment was slim, and they both passed away soon.

Fortunately, they left behind important research results, and five years after their death, someone inherited their will and successfully developed a vaccine.

This is the reason why Ge'an is so clear about those things, and it is also the reason why Ge'an is not so surprised that Mr. picked up a Joe in those towns.

Mister must have thought of something.Everything in this world has a cause and effect, because of something, so it is something, Ge'an, whose fate has changed several times, knows this very well.

Ge'an didn't say anything more, and he didn't want to let Joe know more. After all, there should be no survivors in the whole family.

Qiao had a faint answer in his heart, so he didn't say much on this topic. He asked Ge'an what to do next and what he needed to do.

"According to what I said before, you go to Dr. Eisen's house, bring the words to me, I will wait for you here, and then go to the town where the gold mine incident occurred." Ge'an focused on a book in the house In the book, it tells a fairy tale about happiness and the blue bird, which heralds the arrival of light and hope.

Joe glanced at him, seeing that he was absorbed in reading a picture book that a five-year-old would be tired of, so he could only shrug his shoulders and do as Gean said.
