Chapter 77 Lin Yiguang Reflections
"Lin Yue, Lin Yue, there are so many people with knives around, I'm so scared!"
As soon as Poppy came back, he stayed on Lin Yue's body and acted coquettishly. He stayed with Lin Yue the least and took the opportunity to absorb more spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy emanating from Lin Yue's body, if it inhaled it, was equivalent to a whole day of practicing martial arts for it. The other three friends had stayed by Lin Yue's side for a long time, and their martial arts skills had increased significantly. It was extremely envious.
Therefore, I must perform well this time to be able to join in the mission and try to stay by Lin Yue's side.
"Speak normally, are you looking at the army at the mine?"
Lin Yue brushed away the sticky poppy flowers with disdain, but she didn't expect that this place was so secluded and there were no people around, and they actually sent an army to be stationed here.
"Have you counted exactly how many people there are?"
Asking Bai Xuanting to purchase iron ore is too slow and too little. Moreover, this is also a handle for the other party to hold on them. The previous one was considered as the sincerity of cooperation between the two parties.
It is not Lin Yue's style to leave her fate to others. After she becomes familiar with other countries, she can go to other countries to buy them without having to be so secretive.
Poppy stammered for a long time without being able to come up with a number. It was obvious that he was so excited about the mission that he forgot about it.
"This army has a total of 3,000 people, working in three shifts: one team patrols the area, one team transports iron ore, and one team trains.
The patrols are in teams of ten, and every half a quarter of an hour the two teams will meet. They will also exchange slogans, and if they are accurate, they will be taken away by the leader of the other team.
The carnivorous plant that came back a little later reported its harvest, suspected of competing with the poppy for work and favor, but it looked indifferent.
The poppy that just came out of Jingyue Valley was no match for the worldly-wise man-eating plant, and it immediately grabbed Lin Yue's attention.
Sure enough, Lin Yue looked over with kindness and comforted Poppy.
"We'll wait until midnight to make our move. If we don't take a hundred kilograms, we'll be wasting our time. It's a shame we don't have any convenient transportation tools."
Lin Yue once again envied the space ability user. With a wave of his hand, the minerals he wanted were packed up and taken away.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong."
The only sound in the quiet mine was the hammering of hammers.
"This ore is so hard to dig. My hands have blisters from rubbing against it, and I can only just manage to dig out a small piece of ore. It's so difficult. How long will it take to fill this basket? Ah! I'm afraid I'm going to starve tonight."
Qian Qianqian, with delicate skin and tender flesh, blew on her hands, her eyes were red, and she tried her best to hold back her tears.
Lin Yihua also grabbed his wife's hand with heartache, and sure enough.
The palms, which were once as smooth as cream, were rubbed red and several shiny blisters were visible.
But now he could do nothing, even comfort was pale, and the helplessness at this moment was deeply imprinted in his heart.
Min looked over. Although she felt sorry for her daughter-in-law, she still had to dig mines here for two months. If she couldn't adapt now, she would have to adapt later.
"What are you doing here? If you don't want to eat at night, earn your own food. Don't count on me."
Although these words are harsh, they are indeed for the benefit of the two people. If those who are already deeply trapped in the quagmire do not learn to save themselves, they will be drowned sooner or later.
"Mom, we'll start mining right away, don't worry."
Qian Qianqian and Lin Yihua had a big argument, but they also knew that Min was often a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so they did not dare to worry their family.
"We're going to be mining here for two months, and everyone's hands are bound to be worn out. Luckily, your sister had the foresight to let us all bring some wound medicine. We should wash our hands with water before going to bed at night and then apply the medicine. This will help them heal faster."
Min sighed. In such an environment, it was already great to be able to save her own life. She didn't care whether her skin would get tanned or calloused.
That afternoon, except for Feng Shiyun and Li Dachui, everyone in Baixiang Village had their palms rubbed to the point of bleeding. Some of the women had never suffered such pain before and were sobbing quietly.
Finally, the sun set and the official who had led the way came in with a group of soldiers.
"Ahem."
Faced with the somewhat noisy environment, he frowned, coughed twice, and waited until everyone was completely quiet before speaking.
"Only one person from each team will be sent out. The rest of you will carry out the minerals you've dug and register them. Line up, one by one. If anyone cuts in line or makes a noise, your team won't have food tonight. Going hungry for a night will teach you some rules."
The originally crowded crowd suddenly became much smaller, and some people came out.
The officials don’t care whether anyone is lazy or not. They can only get the corresponding steamed buns according to the amount of ore.
"Sun Cheng, 98 baskets, one hundred and ninety-six steamed buns."
"Zhou Qing, fifty baskets, one hundred steamed buns."
The people of Baixiang Village watched helplessly as the iron ore in the baskets was poured into the skids specially used by the army for transportation.
The observer who was recording the scene looked at the box and saw that it was full without any dirt or rocks, and nodded with satisfaction.
Some people's baskets also poured out a lot of soil and some miscellaneous stones. The gaps in the soldiers' baskets were large, so the soil was sifted out and the miscellaneous stones were also picked out.
When the officer saw this, his face turned pale.
"You're sneaky and cunning. Your steamed buns will be confiscated tonight. Humph, you'll remember what I said before only after you go hungry."
The row of words originally written on the notebook was crossed out in full view of everyone.
Lin Yi Guang was sweating coldly as he watched. If Uncle Feng hadn't reminded him, he would have had no food to eat tonight because of his action. Xie Zhouzhou also looked relieved.
She knows her husband well. He becomes cocky and extremely arrogant as long as he achieves a little result. He won't listen to anyone and is determined to do whatever he wants, even if it means getting a bloody nose.
Fortunately, before they set off, his younger sister repeatedly warned him that he must listen to Uncle Feng in everything. Fortunately, this time Feng Shiyun warned her husband immediately when she found out that he was doing something wrong.
Although he felt aggrieved and wanted to have his own way, Xie Zhouzhou kept telling him that his sister told him to listen to Uncle Feng. Even though he was reluctant, he finally cleaned the basket, leaving only the iron ore.
My little sister is really foresighted!
Lin Yi Guang followed everyone in a daze to pour the ore, then followed everyone out of the mine, took his own portion of steamed buns, and ate them tastelessly.
Depressed and self-loathing.
Xie Zhouzhou saw that her husband was exuding a gloomy and decadent aura. She wanted to go forward to comfort him, but she didn't know what to say.
Wang came over, rubbing her back.
"Just let him think about it! Over the years, his father and I have tried countless ways to correct his temper, but we've all failed. Today, he finally has some time to reflect on himself. Let him think about it carefully. No one else can help him!"
