Chapter 628 Festival

Do you know that the key to opening the door of hope is in your hand, but you still have to curl up in the dark room in the corner of the wall, and use infinite thinking to imagine how complicated and contradictory the mood is when you welcome the moment of light?

At least this is true for the slaves in the mining area. The people outside have sent them at least fifty pistols and sufficient bullets intermittently through various methods. The other party also told them that they could do nothing unless the people outside gave them hints. They clearly grasped the key, but they still lived in despair - oh, no! At least they were much more optimistic than before, because they were about to usher in real freedom.

For some reason, since the day before yesterday, the guards in Bruel Bay have become much more severe. The members of the mine protection team who usually hide in the house for heating have put on windproof and run out of the room, holding guns and patrolling the high place. Even if the slaves gather together, they will be dispersed by the mine protection team as long as the number is slightly larger. This was impossible in the past.

The Bruel Bay mining area is located in a canyon. The natural geographical advantage makes it impossible to build a natural fortress without large-scale construction. In order to prevent horse bandits from climbing into the bare mountains on both sides of the canyon, an iron net was also laid over the camp in Bruel Bay and was powered on. If you want to come in from outside, you can't reach the inside of the camp at all unless you pass through the gate or cut the live iron net. These defense measures separate the camp and the outside of the camp into two worlds.

There is no doubt that all gold mines are always the most jealous of horse bandits, but they have never been attacked. It’s not that no one wants the gold mine here, but they know that they don’t pay a high price, and even have the chance to enter the camp.

Money is the only thing that can be spent when it is spent. If you die, then everything will lose its value.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the sound of trumpets of getting up sounded in the camp. Every morning at 6:30, the trumpets would sound on time. After fifteen minutes of meal, the slaves had to enter the mine to work, and the work would last until one noon. There would be two rest periods during this process, thirty minutes at a time and fifteen minutes at a time.

Not all mine owners are desperately squeezing the slave labor force. According to some so-called professionals, a short rest can improve the slave's enthusiasm and effectiveness of work. However, after all, slaves are still very hard, and all measures are just to squeeze their surplus value to the greatest extent.

Some young and strong slaves quickly started to carry dung buckets after dinner. This was their job. When the camp gate opened and more than forty carriages drove in at the same time, the slaves carrying dung buckets were briefly lost.

Although the camp is expensive, it is definitely not as big as requiring so many carriages to deliver goods together. Has something happened recently and will it have any impact on their plans?

"Why are there so many carriages today?" The captain of the mine protection team walked to a carriage. He took out his dagger and picked up the canvas covering the carriage's chariot, revealing the stacked linen bag inside. He glanced at the other carriages, and the dagger in his hand stabbed in one of the largest sacks. A large number of maize storms suddenly surged out from the cut hole. He used the tip of the dagger to lift the cracked hole upward and used a little force to prevent maize from continuing to gush out.

"Check all the carriages, and shoot immediately if the situation is not right." The captain of the mine protection team was very nervous. It would not work if he was not tight. Now assassination activities are being carried out everywhere in the west, and a group of free fronts composed of slaves and gold diggers are organizing activities everywhere. They will check every thing entering the camp very carefully. Under his command, the mine protection team members took the iron rod and began to check all the goods, but no abnormalities were found.

At this time, the young man who led the team smiled and said, "You should know that it is very messy outside now, and we take a lot of risks in delivering goods. So from today on, we will only deliver goods twice a week, once three days and once four days. I also hope you can tell the gentleman above. It's not that we don't want to deliver them every day, but the situation outside is too dangerous."

The young leader's words made the captain of the mine protection team nodded slightly, and gained his recognition. Everyone knew what the situation outside was like. If it weren't for the fear that the group of madmen suddenly came to attack Bruel Bay, the situation in the camp would not be as nervous as it is now. He casually raised his hand to take the cigarette handed over by the young leader, and the two got together and began to suck up the clouds and spit out. Because there were too many things delivered this time, and these carriages blocked the passage in the camp, the captain of the mine protection team asked the slaves to participate in the transport.

When the expenses were settled, Tulat's nephew also appeared. After a little understanding of why he had to pay three replenishment fees at one time, he couldn't help asking: "Is it very messy outside now? Then can't I go out?"

This sentence is actually a waste of time. How could he not know the situation outside? He just hopes that these young people who delivered goods can give him a little better news, at least to give him some hope. Although he rarely leaves the mining area, he goes out three or four times a month to have some fun in nearby cities. Compared to this damn lifeless camp, even if the nearby cities and towns are not much different, it is enough to allow him to enjoy the long-lost joy.

"Let's do it, bring two next time you come..." He glanced at the captain of the mine protection team, "No, bring twenty girls here, the price is doubled, and wait here until the next time you supply, and leave with you. There are also some cards and things to play with. Do you know what I mean?"

The young leader nodded and repeated, "I understand, sir, woman, do you still need tape for the game?"

"There are tapes? Yes, if there is a complete one, it's best to give me a few sets. Since there is tape, there must be a player. Get a few more units here!"

Tulat's nephew did not show any excellent abilities in the eyes of his elders, but this kid had one advantage, that is, he knew how to be awe. This may be related to the frequent beaten times when he was a child. He would not be like some heirs who had their eyes on the sky, knowing that there were dangers outside but insisting on leaving, maybe just to go to nearby cities to solve the problem of "expansion". He did a good job in this. He might not be able to open up new territory for the family's industry, but it is also good to be able to defend what he has now.

He took out a five-degree note from his pocket, stuffed it into the brim of the leader's hat, and patted him on the shoulder, "You are not bad, I will tell your business manager to ask him to raise your salary."

"That's so thank you!"

After the convoy left, the captain of the mine protection team stood on the high wall and looked at the convoy away. He always felt something was wrong in his heart, but no matter how he recalled or thought, he couldn't find anything wrong in his fall. Finally, he summarized this idea as random thoughts caused by being too nervous.

At his feet, the two slaves withdrew their gazes and looked at each other silently and returned to the slave camp under the supervision of the mine protection team members.

Three days left!

Three days later, the light will shine into the deep mine cave, ignite everyone's hope and welcome a bright future!

Three days later, the supply convoy appeared again. This time the supply convoy was more than the last time, with more than sixty carriages. The supply cargo this time would be used for four days of life, and also brought some things that Tulat's nephew asked, such as girls, and small toys that could pass the time.

Twenty girls in cloaks sat alone in two carriages, lowering their heads, and the hood of the cloaks kept their heads tightly hidden, and they couldn't see clearly anything. The eyes of the mine guards on the high walls turned green, and Tulat had told them that they would prepare twenty girls for them this time, in four days! This made all the members of the mine guards want to roar and look forward to today's arrival.

Seeing the trembling "fat meat" in front of me, the emotions of some team members changed subtly. The captain of the mine protection team scolded them a few times, asking them to carefully check every item of goods on each carriage, but most of them seemed a little absent-minded. Their attention was attracted by the girls in the middle of the horse, especially a girl suddenly took off her hat and raised her head. The beautiful silhouette made many members of the mine protection team stop their work and swallowed a lot.

The person next to the girl pulled her sleeve, and she smiled and put her hood on again, covering her face with a neat sigh.

But soon the members of the mine protection team cheered up again. Maybe it would be their turn?

It’s this girl, even if she exchanges cigarettes with others, it’s worth it!

Under the high mood, the inspection work was carried out very quickly, and carriages quickly entered the camp through the inspection. Although the captain of the mine protection team was a little worried, he thought that he had worked with the other party's trading company for several years and had nothing happened. The group of boys under his opponent knew the thoughts clearly, so he turned a blind eye and thought that he had not seen these lazy people.

"Let the slaves come and carry things!"
