Luo Xunfeng was about to take a step, but Boss Zhou suddenly said "Wait a minute", and then called his attendants to put an iron chain between Luo Xunfeng's feet.

"Mr. Feng, I'm sorry, I'm just on the safe side." Boss Zhou put on a smirk.

"Can I not forgive you?" Luo Xunfeng looked at him coldly and said.

A few people walked towards the mine, and soon passed the place where Su Yu was beaten just now. The traces of deep digging by fingernails and little blood stains bloomed on the mud floor, which was shocking.

Suddenly, Luo Xunfeng was tripped by an iron chain, and suddenly fell forward, propped his hands on the ground, and knelt on the ground with one knee.

"Hey, get up, Mr. Fufeng." Boss Zhou said.

Several attendants sneered, and some even laughed out loud, reaching out to help Luo Xunfeng.

Luo Xunfeng waved his outstretched hand, and stood up by himself. He scuffed a lot of mud on the hem of his clothes and didn't brush it off. His face was gloomy and ugly, he straightened up and walked forward.

Going down the slope of the mine road, after walking for a while, you will come to a multi-fork intersection, one of which leads to the mining hall that is being dug, and the other fork roads are places that are being investigated one by one and are yet to be developed. There are some complex terrains connected by holes.

Boss Zhou asked someone to bring a torch to illuminate the mine road map in his hand, chose a direction for the forked road in front of him, and made another gesture of invitation to Luo Xunfeng.

On the other side, in the mine hall where the coolies were, the air was oppressive and the light was dim.

The whistling sound of the whip can be heard endlessly.

The overseers waved their whips, driving the coolies to dig and dig.

These coolies were forced to work day and night, with only one or two hours of sleep every day, and they were also locked in a cave. Everyone was unkempt, and their bodies were bruised, and they had reached the limit of fatigue. Rao is like this, once the movement slows down, he will be beaten severely, which is simply miserable.

Su Yu is now among this group of coolies, hammering away at the rock wall one by one like them.

His back was already wet, and the beating and kicking just now had a large number of torture wounds on his back. Every time he made a movement of raising the iron pick, the wound was torn, and blood continued to ooze.Not only the back, but also the chest and abdomen were hit hard many times. Although he used internal force to protect his body, he couldn't protect his external injuries. Several ribs should be cracked, and every breath brought a deep pain. At this time, the hunger for many days broke out together with the pain, causing him abdominal cramps, cold hands and feet, his head was covered with sweat, and he couldn't help coughing in a low voice, his hands froze, and the whip immediately greeted him come over.

"Dare to be lazy?! Dig for me quickly!" The supervisor yelled, and used all his strength to lash Su Yu with a whip. Every whip sank into the flesh, and Su Yu's clothes were broken in the whipping. He gritted his teeth and endured. , to speed up the digging action in the hand.

The time in the cave was unknown, but after a long time, two people walked into the cave hall carrying a large wooden bucket.

Seeing this, the coolies all stared and swallowed.

The supervisor said, "Come and eat!"

Everyone put down their picks in a swarm and rushed towards the barrel.

The supervisors waved their whips to line up the crowd and began to distribute meals.

Su Yu observed the scene in front of him, and silently stood at the end of the meal receiving line.

Suddenly, a whip handle lay in front of his eyes.

"Go, go, the boss said, you have to do three people's work to eat," the whip supervisor said with a wry smile, "Boy, each person here has to dig five baskets of ore a day, want to eat? You first Let’s dig out fifteen baskets and let’s talk about it!” As he spoke, he poked Su Yu with the handle of his whip and drove him back.

Every time he poked the whip head on the wound on Su Yu's body, he admired the way Su Yu endured the pain and his expression slightly wrinkled.Another time, he intentionally poked at Su Yu's ribs, Su Yu suddenly pinched it with his elbow, the man felt a numbness in his hand, the whip almost fell out of his hand, he quickly grabbed the whip and pulled it, but he couldn't pull it out no matter what.

He was about to curse, but seeing Su Yu's expression was cold, and a pair of black eyes shot a cold light, which made him startled.

He couldn't help but took a half step back before he came back to his senses, pointed at Su Yu and said, "You...do you want to rebel?! Believe it or not, I'll have someone report it to the boss right away?"

Su Yu's pupils shrank slightly, and he slowly loosened his strength, and the man pulled the whip back.He immediately raised his whip at Su Yu, but he couldn't pull it off for a while.

Su Yu turned around, walked back to the rock wall, picked up the pickaxe and continued digging.

The coolies only had two meals a day, and the food they got for each meal was very little, only a bowl of gruel and half a dry steamed bun. For them who worked hard, it was a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, during the meal, the strong coolies would snatch food from the weak coolies, and scenes of beatings and screams appeared.

Instead of ignoring it, the supervisors took pleasure in watching it, and sometimes stepped forward to fan the flames.

During this chaotic meal time, a thin figure in ragged clothes quietly moved to Su Yu's side. It was the young A Rui who had guided Su Yu yesterday.

"Brother, I'm sorry for you..." A Rui's face was full of guilt, and while watching the movements of the supervisors in the cave with trepidation, he apologized to Su Yu in a low voice.

"..." Su Yu glanced at him, and his hands kept moving.

"It's all my fault. I took out the medicine you gave me yesterday, and I was tricked by that man called Uncle Quan, and I filed a complaint with the supervisor, so you were caught. It's all my fault, woo woo woo..." He said , Beady tears flowed from Ah Rui's eyes, and two tear stains slid on his dirty face.

"Is your injury better?" Su Yu buried his head in digging, but suddenly asked.

"Okay...it's better, but they have already taken away the medicine..." Ah Rui covered his mouth for fear of crying.

Su Yu stopped what he was doing and looked at him, hesitant to speak.

At this moment, the boy raised his hand to wipe his tears, took out half a steamed bun from his bosom, and handed it to Su Yu, "Brother, eat quickly."

"..." Su Yu looked at the boy, and couldn't bear to leave the mantou when he saw the boy's eyes. He moved his Adam's apple slightly, reached out to push the mantou back, shook his head at the boy, and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat by yourself."

"But..." The young man looked at him with tears in his eyes. Before he finished speaking, Su Yu suddenly raised his hand to block his head, and a whip whizzed towards Su Yu's arm. There was a blood mist, if Su Yu hadn't blocked it, the one who saw the blood must be a boy.

"!!!" The boy fell to the ground in fright.

"What are you chatting about? Go to work!" It was the supervisor who made things difficult for Su Yu just now. He wanted to walk towards the young man, but Su Yu stepped in between them, turned his head and said to the young man, "Go", the young man struggled He climbed up and ran to the side, there was the sound of whipping behind him, but the person being beaten didn't make a sound, the young man turned his head, and seeing Su Yu enduring the whipping, burst into tears.

……

Holding a torch, Luo Xunfeng stood on a steep slope full of gravel in the cave. The steep slope was too narrow, only one person could look up on it, while the others waited below.

He groped the slope with his hands, picked up a palm-sized stone and hid it in his arms, then got up to observe the rock wall, picked out a small piece of sharp gravel and put it in his palm.

The inconspicuous red and black veins are hidden in the cracks of the rock, extending to the dead end in front of him. He knows that he has found a dragon gold stone vein.

"Mr. Feng, did you find anything?" Boss Zhou raised his head and asked down the steep slope.

"I found it," Luo Xunfeng slowly walked down the steep slope, raised his finger to point to the approximate location, and said, "There is a vein of minerals there, someone can dig it up and have a look."

Boss Zhou then sent someone up with a chisel, and under Luo Xunfeng's guidance, the man chiseled for a while, and sure enough he chiseled out the Dragon Gold Stone.

"The space here is too small, and the cave needs to be blasted to facilitate mining. I need to do some more surveys nearby to determine the direction of the ore veins and the layout of the cave, so as to determine the location and weight of explosives." Luo Xunfeng said, he squeezed Between his brows, his breathing was a bit heavy, and the effect of the medicine made him mentally weak, and he could no longer sustain the long-term painstaking effort.

"Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Feng." Boss Zhou held the dragon gold stone he had just dug up, beaming with joy, and said, "Today we will first explore a part of the terrain, and tomorrow we will finish all the exploration, and we will prepare a plan for blasting, and the blasting will be carried out in the morning the day after tomorrow." Broken. The day after tomorrow, people from Long Jinshi will come to meet us, and let them see the grand occasion here!"

……

In the middle of the night, the coolies finished their work and were driven by the supervisor to the cave where they were held.

When passing through many forked roads, no one noticed that Su Yu quietly fished a stone from the top of the rubble pile into his hand, and at the same time replaced it with a stone in his arms.

The coolies were imprisoned in a cramped cave with a narrow entrance, locked by an iron fence, and several supervisors guarded the door. The cave was pitch black, the ground was damp, and the air was stale and smelly.

Everyone was tired all day, so they seized this little time to fall asleep quickly. The sound of snoring echoed in the cave, and some people yelled and moaned in their dreams. The whole cave was like a cauldron for cooking pain.

Su Yu sat leaning against a corner of the cave, and couldn't help coughing twice.At this time, the boy named A Rui came to his side unexpectedly.

"Brother, are you okay?" The young man leaned against the cave wall and approached Su Yu.

"It's okay." Su Yu swallowed the bloody smell in his throat, endured the throbbing pain in his stomach, and said in a low voice.On this day, he did not get any food.

He turned slightly to the side, but felt the boy sticking to him again.

"I'm so scared, we won't die here, right? Several people have died before..." the boy whispered again.

"No," Su Yu said while sitting still, "Persist a little longer, and I will definitely be able to leave here."

Su Yu's voice was deep and firm, the boy nodded hesitantly in the dark, shrank beside Su Yu, and murmured, "I really miss my parents and my sister, I really want to go home... My name is A Rui Brother, what's your name..." His voice became softer and softer, and before Su Yu could answer, he let out a slight snoring sound.

Feeling that the young man had fallen into a deep sleep, Su Yu slowly took out the stone he had just taken from his bosom, and groped for the engraving on the stone——

"Everything is going well here".

Su Yu read out the code words that Luo Xunfeng had inscribed. This was a way of conveying information between the owner of Zhu Rong Villa and the shadow guards. Just like the previous gestures, it could express common commands and reply phrases.This is also the secret language that only he and Luo Xunfeng can understand each other in the world today.

Although his body was exhausted and the pain was superimposed, Su Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a smile in the darkness. He knew that Luo Xunfeng would read the code words left by him in the morning——

"Business as usual".
