Chapter 230 You Are Tired of Living
What's more, it's still alive and kicking!
Zhou Laosan stepped back in fear.
The supervisor sneered and said, "My brothers worked so hard to find so much food for you, and you don't even give them face?"
He immediately ordered his thugs to hold Zhou Laosan tightly on the left and right, pinch his jaw, and then grab the food in the bowl and stuff it into Zhou Laosan's mouth!
Zhou Laosan was forced to swallow these things. He felt his stomach churning and nausea. He wanted to vomit, but he was really too hungry. No matter how hard he dug his throat, he could only dry heave and couldn't vomit anything.
Zhou Laosan's tears were welling up, and he didn't know whether it was from vomiting or from feeling wronged.
He had no choice but to give in and continue digging with his pickaxe.
Fellow workers secretly told him that his experience was still mild, at least it was bearable. Most of the people here had been dissatisfied and resisted before, but they all failed. The supervisors here had a hundred ways to torture them.
After hearing this, Zhou Laosan became much more honest.
But mining day after day with no end in sight was unbearable for anyone. In just a few days, he became extremely skinny.
So whenever he got the chance, he would call the person operating the windlass above. As long as he could strike up a conversation and coax them into pulling him up, everything else would be easy.
But no one paid any attention to him.
As a last resort, he gritted his teeth and went back to find the vicious supervisor, promising that if he was released, he would immediately ask his family for money.
In response, the burly supervisor kicked him hard, knocking him to the ground.
There is also a sentence:
"You bastard, you dare to fool me!"
Zhou Laosan said with great pain:
"Brother, I'm not kidding you, believe me! My family is rich. We run a tofu business, and the business is booming. The restaurant has booked all the tickets. You can negotiate how much money you want."
The strong man kicked him again.
"Fuck you, how much can you sell tofu for? Besides, how much money can you earn from selling it? You're still saying you're not kidding, but I think you're asking for trouble!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
"Come on, I'm going to help him today and liven him up!"
Without waiting for Zhou Laosan to continue speaking, the thugs beside him immediately stepped forward and started punching and kicking Zhou Laosan, beating him up so badly that his whole body was in great pain and he was grimacing, but no bones were broken.
Because they still need him to mine.
What Zhou Laosan didn't know was that no matter how he said it, the strong man would not listen to him. Because they had seen many people like Zhou Laosan, and it was not the first time they heard such words.
And even if what Zhou Laosan said was true, they would not let Zhou Laosan go. They were a black mine, and although the relevant people had been arranged, it would always be troublesome if the news leaked out.
As for the previous talk about paying off debts by mining, and being free once the debts are paid, that was just talk to avoid making people despair, and it must not be taken seriously. People who enter here usually have only one ending.
Zhou Laosan was a gangster, and he had some knowledge in this area, and gradually he figured it out.
But what good can one do even if he understands it?
Only more despair.
At this moment, five people who were sleeping like dead pigs opened their eyes, secretly raised their heads and looked around, and when they saw that no one was paying attention, they stood up quietly one by one and tiptoed to the bottom of the well.
One of them stood close to the wall of the well, and then another climbed up and stood on his shoulders. Then the third and fourth people followed suit, forming an Arhat.
Zhou Laosan suddenly woke up and saw the scene in front of him. He immediately understood what these people were going to do, so he ran over in a hurry and shouted in a low voice:
"Brothers, take me one, take me one!"
"Hush! Shut up!"
Several workers turned pale and hurried to stop him.
Naturally, Zhou Laosan refused to give up. If he missed such a good opportunity, there might not be a next time, so he stayed and refused to leave.
Fortunately, he was also a gangster and was cautious enough not to alarm others.
As time was running out, the workers had no choice but to agree to his request.
"Don't stand here, you'll increase the risk of exposure. Go lie down over there first, and we'll pull you up when we're done!"
Zhou Laosan understood that this matter was of great importance and that it would be disadvantageous to no one if a quarrel was made, so he had no choice but to lie down beside him as he was told. However, he was closest to the wellhead and his eyes were fixed on these people, not daring to relax for a moment.
These people must have discussed it beforehand. Five of them stacked up like a pyramid and could just reach the ground. The person at the top could climb out directly, and the others would have to rely on this person to let down the rope.
By then, he will have a chance.
The miners were all lean and slender, and they moved very quickly. One person climbed up quickly, and then the rope was lowered. The winch used for lifting could not be used because it was too old and creaked when it was shaken, making too much noise, so they could only climb up by climbing the rope.
In the past, Zhou Laosan would have been unsure if he could climb to this height, but now that he worked and wielded a pickaxe every day, he had gained some confidence, so he waited patiently.
The second person climbed up, and the third person also climbed up.
Just as the fourth one was climbing up, a scream suddenly came from above.
"ah!"
"thump!"
"Someone come quickly! Someone is trying to escape!"
Voices rang out one after another, and soon, there were chaotic footsteps.
The two remaining workers and Zhou Laosan in the mine were all dumbfounded.
How come it was suddenly exposed?
"We have been observing them for a long time, but we still don't understand their situation?"
One of the workers whispered bitterly.
No matter how unwilling they were, there was no way to continue, so they had to give up and go back to lie down.
Zhou Laosan also cried out that he was unlucky. He was even more unwilling to accept it, but he could only accept the reality.
What they didn't know was that although there was no one at the wellhead at night, there were people taking turns guarding the periphery of the mine. There were not many people, but they occupied advantageous positions, and all the wellheads were within their sight.
The first person who went up was just about to run away when he was seen by these people and was hit by an arrow.
Besides him, there were two other people. Although they were frightened, they were unwilling to go back into the mine, so they made up their minds to escape desperately under the cover of night, bending down and lowering their heads.
But unfortunately, the mining company was well prepared and the two men were unable to escape.
And underground, more than a dozen thugs quickly descended, each holding a sharp knife, staring at the other miners with a fierce look in their eyes.
Soon, the fat face of the sturdy supervisor appeared at the mouth of the well.
His face was filled with anger, and he shouted down:
"You are tired of living. You actually dared to run away! Who are the other two people? Stand up for me!"
No one responded.
The supervisor snorted coldly.
"If you want to climb out of the well, you need at least five people. Don't think I don't know! You are not the first group of people to do this. If you all refuse to admit it, your food will be reduced by half from tomorrow. Let's see how long you can survive!"
