The first escape plan ended in failure, but You Tianfu and Lin Lidong did not give up. Although they didn't know how to escape from the mine, they firmly believed that there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and no matter how powerful the defense measures are, there will be weaknesses. There must be a way to escape, but they just haven't found it yet!
The warlord punished the escapees in public in front of the miners. Although he did not say a word during the whole process, it served as a warning to others. Many people who wanted to escape completely gave up the idea after seeing those people having their toes chopped off and their heads beheaded. After all, it is better to live a miserable life than to die. Otherwise, in the end, they would be the ones who get hurt.
Another week passed. After working for a long time and overloading, You Tianfu and Lin Lidong had lost their initial spirit. Inside the mine, they danced with hammers and pickaxes like robots, and their eyes became more and more like Lao Pang's.
On a new morning, gunshots rang out again early, and all the miners got up and lined up on the platform.
But this time no one escaped and was caught. All the miners stood in front of the platform and waited for a moment. Several jeeps drove in from the ridge road, and then a black man and several younger brothers got out of the cars.
Lao Pang explained quietly, "That black man is the boss behind this mine, known as Black Bull. He comes to patrol the mine every month to check on the miners and the mine's recent production efficiency.
When you are happy, you may reward everyone with extra meals, but when you are unhappy, you may not even have anything to eat for the whole day.
Don't be fooled by his dark, bulky appearance, he's actually quite formidable. He's skilled in swordplay and spearmanship, and he's mastered several languages!
He has communicated with all the miners here, speaking a wide variety of languages. From what I've personally heard, he speaks English, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and even Russian!
Before you came in, he came to the mine last time and talked to a Korean for a long time. Although he was not fluent, he was able to communicate normally! "
You Tianfu looked at the black man carefully and found that he had sharp eyes, a burly body, muscles from head to toe, a bald head like a coal ball, and a pair of eyes as sharp as an eagle's.
After getting off the car, Hei Niu looked up and glanced at every miner in front of him, then turned around, said a few words to the leading warlord, got on the car and left.
As soon as Hei Niu left, all the miners breathed a sigh of relief, because everyone could see that he was in a good mood today. No one asked for any extra rewards, as long as they could eat on time they would be very satisfied.
Perhaps because of the high production in the past month, the warlord gave the miners an extra meal that night. In addition to a bowl of porridge for each person in the big pot, there was also a white flour bun!
The white steamed buns were piled up into a small hill on the table next to them, and the fragrance drifted in the wind. The miners were tired after a day's work and their eyes began to wander, but when they smelled the fragrance, they immediately became energetic again, following the team step by step, their eyes always fixed on the steamed buns.
After receiving his portion, Lin Lidong ate half of it in one gulp, chewing it voraciously while chuckling bitterly:
"I can't believe these shabby steamed buns that we normally wouldn't eat are considered delicacies here. I have to admit, this is the most delicious steamed bun I've ever eaten in my life..."
After eating a steamed bun in three bites, although he was still not satisfied, he could only reluctantly walk back to the wooden house.
You Tianfu did not eat all the steamed buns. Instead, he kept half of it, made a dough ball and held it in his palm. After returning to the wooden house, he divided it into three parts, one for Lao Pang, one for Lin Lidong, and one for himself.
The three of them sat side by side on the bed, with their backs against the wall. They held half a piece of dough in one hand and gently pinched off small pieces the size of mung beans from it with the other hand, putting them into their mouths to savor them carefully.
During the days I was taken to the mine, although I worked day and night and was physically exhausted, I had more things to think about.
After learning the secrets inside the Phyllis Park from Lao Pang, You Tianfu suddenly realized why Chen Dong, Xie Jiannan and Wang Manxi, who were all big bosses in Chinatown, chose to give way.
After all, he has the support of the warlords behind him, and his arms are very long. If a dispute really arises, the three of them combined may not be able to defeat Phyllis...
Lying on the wooden planks late at night, Lin Lidong sighed deeply, "Brother Tian, we've been sold to a place like this. Do you think those guys at the building materials factory are going crazy?"
You Tianfu smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, Xiaoguang, Ajie, Anjing, and Yu'er, even though we disappeared for so long, they are probably still running around the city looking for us.
I just hope they don’t mess with Phyllis, otherwise if something happens to someone else, all the hard work we’ve put in will be ruined…”
"Don't worry, those guys are not fools. If they can find out about us, they should know that Phyllis is a tough guy, especially Brother Guang and Ajie. They are both smarter than the other. I believe they won't act rashly.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have taken so long, he would have been sold to the mines and reunited with us…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a chaotic noise outside, and then the door of the wooden house was opened, and two beams of light lit up.
With the help of the flashlight, I saw several figures being escorted by the warlord to the front. They pushed into the wooden house very violently, then closed the door again and turned to leave.
Under the moonlight, only six figures could be seen, most of them were miners who had been sold.
These people were in a similar state to You Tianfu and Lin Lidong when they first came in. Their hands were tied behind their backs and their eyes were blind. After getting up, they struggled while looking around, their faces full of panic and fear.
Lao Pang was like a 'newcomer receptionist'. Seeing this, he immediately came over and helped them untie the ropes on their hands one by one. Then he gave them a general introduction to the situation and let them find a place to rest.
Lin Lidong also stretched his neck to look, but didn't hear any familiar voices. He breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the bed. "Damn, I was scared to death. If I really ran into Brother Guang and Ajie, I'd be like a jinx under my nose..."
After listening to Lao Pang's description of their current situation, the newcomers did not choose to rest quietly. Instead, five of them gathered together and began to discuss how to escape. They did not believe that they would be trapped here for the rest of their lives.
The only remaining figure quietly retreated to the corner of the house, curled up his hands and feet and disappeared into the darkness. Then there was no more movement...
