Chapter 14 Borrowing Life 1

When the first ray of sunshine came down in the morning, the mine became lively. The miners consciously walked out of the shed and then got busy. Xu Jinghong looked like others and entered a mine with everyone. After shoveling two large baskets of ore from it, he slowly walked to the top of the mountain on the left.

There is a melting mine with the highest yield in the mine. In the past, Xiong Geng carried these fragments, but today Xu Jinghong has a chance from him. If it had been when Hu San was in charge, Xu Jinghong could not have changed his job as he wished, but the new foreman turned a blind eye to Xu Jinghong's behavior, but he didn't know if he had learned the lesson of Hu San's "suicide" to be like this.

However, Xu Jinghong will not consider these details at all. He just wants to check there to see if his judgment is correct. Near the melting mine cave, Xu Jinghong felt that bursts of heat came to his face. Even after the hottest summer, he still made him sweat all over. Then his eyes fell on the top of the mountain, and he only saw what was strange in it at a glance.

Because it is a hill bag in the mine, the top of the mountain is not high, but only more than two feet. On the edge of this mountain, there are many trees. When you look carefully, you can see the huge stone under the trees. This stone is a little protruding, but unless you observe it carefully, it is difficult to find its existence, and it is also cleverly made.

Xu Jinghong then found that among the trees and vines used to cover the stones, several vines were going down the mountain and extending straight to the hidden place on the side of the cave. At a glance, Xu Jinghong was able to conclude that this is a simple mechanism. Those vines must be the hub to control the position of the stone. As long as the vines over there are pulled by it, there should be two or three hundred pounds of stones that should fall from the top of the mountain.

Two or three hundred pounds of stone alone is enough for people to drink a pot, and in addition, falling from a height of two feet, its strength is more than a thousand pounds? If a person is hit by this stone without defense, I'm afraid that a good hand with hard skills will be beaten into a meat pie, right?

"Who did they set up this agency to deal with? And the boxes hidden by the old dog yesterday should be the gold and silver produced in the mine. It must be that a member of the court will come to check the production status of the mine, so the stewman will do this. Xu Jinghong quickly inferred the key to the matter through two things: "But if the court official was killed here, aren't they afraid of causing more trouble? Yes, it should be a kind of intimidation. The whereabouts of this organ are only under their control. As long as the official comes to him and puts it down, he can give him a warning without hurting him. Yes, it should be like this!"

After figuring out the reason, Xu Jinghong was relieved. Although he has been born again, his conscience in the last life can't bear to see an innocent person die. Now that he has made such a judgment, he can safely and boldly follow his plan in order to get the greatest harvest in this matter.

After seeing clearly and thinking about the situation here, Xu Jinghong quickly put the burden on his shoulder into the hole. The heat inside is even more abundant, making him almost breathless. And several ore smelting workers here did not communicate much after seeing him. Although there are always those miners coming in and out, occasionally there will be someone to replace them once or twice, and they will not pay attention to it. After completing his work, Xu Jinghong quickly went back and found Xiong Geng next to the mine on the other side.

Seeing that his face was still red and his body was sweaty, Xiong Geng laughed: "Jinghong, I said you won't adapt to the temperature there. When I first entered the melting hole, I really couldn't stand it, but now it's much better. Instead, I think it's very comfortable there.

Xu Jinghong did not follow him because of his joke, but said with a straight face, "Old bear, can you trust me?"

"Ah?" Xiong Geng was stunned when he heard the words and didn't know the meaning of Xu Jinghong's words: "What are you talking about?"

"Will you believe me? I'm going to do a big thing, but I need your help. Will you take the risk to stand with me?" Xu Jinghong still looked at the other party's eyes seriously and asked.

Xiong Geng patted his chest and said, "Of course, I have already said that you saved this life, and I should have returned your life. If you have any big things to do, you can count it to me!" With that, he lowered his voice and said, "You're not going to kill again, are you?"

"No, it's not killing!" Xu Jinghong shook his head and said, "But this incident is more dangerous than the previous murder. Maybe it will cause a big disaster and can't even save his life. However, I am 70% or 80% sure that I can bet on winning, and once it is done, our good days may also come. Are you willing to gamble with me with your own life?"

Seeing that Xu Jinghong said solemnly, Xiong Geng also became more and more solemn. After thinking about it for a long time, he resolutely nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you! I just don't know what you want me to do?"

"You will know this later. I will let you speak at that time, and you can do what I want." Xu Jinghong sold a barrier first, because before letting Xiong Geng take this risk, he still had a barrier to pass.

Xiong Geng is a cheerful person. Seeing that Xu Jinghong did not want to reveal his true thoughts, he did not force him to ask. He just patted him on the shoulder with confidence and said, "Ok, as long as you remember that I will definitely help you. As for what you will get after success, let's wait until later."

Xu Jinghong was moved and nod his head and returned the basket to Xiong Geng and said, "I don't want to go in there anymore. It's really hot that I can't stand it. You'd better go by yourself." With that, I started to do the work I was familiar with again.

Shortly after the two separated, Xu Jinghong bumped into the old dog again. In fact, this old dog is not old, nor does it have the surname of dog, but is ranked 18th, but it is called an old dog by people around him. He also has a strong body and looks more burly than Xiong Geng. He was once sent to the mine because he killed the son of a bully in their town in a moment.

Because he had killed people, his status in the mine was not low, so what he did was not too tired. As soon as Xu Jinghong came over, he stopped his work and said, "What, what can you do for me?"

"Two things, first, is the thing you told me yesterday about the abandoned mine in the northwest of the mine true?"

"Why did you mention that again?" The old dog scratched his head and said, "Master Jiu won't allow us to leak it, or we will look good." Seeing that Xu Jinghong was still staring at him, he had to nod solemnly: "I didn't lie to you. That's true."

Xu Jinghong smiled reassuringly: "In this way, I will feel at ease. There is a second thing. I may let you come out to testify later. You must tell the truth at that time.

Huh? What do you mean? The old dog is a little puzzled.

"You will understand at that time that I won't hurt my brother. Don't you believe me?"

"Of course not. You saved my old dog's life, and I would have treated you as a brother, otherwise I wouldn't have told you the secret. It's just that you came to see me so mysteriously and let me wait to do something. I'm really curious..." The old dog explained with a smile.

Xu Jinghong shook his head and said, "I think it's better for you didn't know about this before, so that if you fail, you can stay out of the matter. But when it really comes to the end, you have to help me this time, which is also to help yourself.

Seeing that Xu Jinghong said something serious, the old dog nodded after a weigh-off and said, "Yes, I'll promise you!"

After Xu Jinghong nodded to him with a smile, he left. He didn't say what he said to Xiong Geng to the old dog, because he knew that once things reached the old dog, he should be able to do it, so he didn't need to bear a burden. Moreover, he also knows the character of the old dog. He is relatively timid. If there is any danger, it is difficult to guarantee that he will shrink his head. That is an unnecessary variable. It is because of these two considerations that he did not disclose more information to the old dog.

Now, two helpers have been found, and there is only waiting for something to happen. Xu Jinghong's heart instead felt tense, because he knew that this incident was related to a turning point in his life in the future. If so, he would not only not be threatened by some people, but also likely to leave the mine from then on and take a step towards the goal in his mind. But if it fails, everything will really be empty.

But in order to protect himself and leave here as soon as possible and do what he should do, Xu Jinghong must take this risk. Because of such a worry, he is very loose when he does things today. From time to time, he looks around and see if the person he expects has arrived. If it hadn't been for the change of foreman, I'm afraid his body would have been bloodied by the whip.

Finally, the sun gradually moved up, and when the time came, a large number of armored sergeants appeared from the main gate of the mine, holding spears and other combat weapons in their hands. Then a group of men in various official uniforms also appeared in front of Xu Jinghong. He knew that the goal he was waiting for had come!
