Chapter 001
At the end of the Great Wilderness and In the turbulent times, the princes emerged together, and the heroes became independent. The world was divided into 108 major princes, 366 small princes, and there were also wealthy families and strong families who had land and established countless small countries. In that year, the star of Misfortune fell to the ground, and some experts called it the "bad star of Misfortune". Mountain people who didn't know where to come from and where to go were raped, and they were forced to be enslaved by soldiers and were sent to the mine camp as their servants.
----------------
[East Realm of the Great Wilderness], [Zhongyouli], [Zhongrong County], there is a [Great and Ming Junji Mountain], which is rich in iron and stone.
At the foot of the mountain in Junji Mountain in Heming, there is one of the prefectures of Zhongrong County. Lord Zheng of the Qingshan Prefecture ordered his subordinates to build a mine and private camp, open mountains and chisel stones, molten gold and smel iron to supply military supplies.
The sky is blue and the white clouds are lingering. Unknown birds of prey flapping their wings and circling in the sky, roaring and singing. The ancient earth is burning with the flames cast by the golden crow. All things are green.
In a horseshoe-shaped valley at the foot of the mountain, countless ragged miners were jingling and beating large rocks. The ants carried the beaten gravel on their naked shoulders and sent it to the tumbling floor furnace, which was burned and tempered.
Gu Yi, who was slender, licked his chapped lips, but his dry tongue could not bring even a trace of wetness to the bursting and blood-seeking lips. He clenched his swollen and bloody teeth, moved his legs and feet numbly, and staggered towards the stone yard where the ore was piled up. On his grinded and bloody shoulders, a trace of blood was fainted on the T-shirt that could no longer be seen in color, leaving traces of black.
He threw a basin-sized ore on his shoulder onto the pile of stones. Gu Yi swallowed his swollen throat with difficulty, raised his dirty arm and wiped his eyes blurred by sweat. The red skin on his arms was sunburned, but the sweat stained with scorching pain.
"Hurry up! You two-legged donkeys! Do you have to wait until the old man sucks you before you can move?"
The obscure accent of the miner, accompanied by the old vine twisted whip, sounded together. With the "crackling" sound of flesh, Gu Yi, who felt that the skin and muscles on his back seemed to have been torn, screamed and rolled to the ground, but caused the ferocious and laughing miner to whip even more crazy.
After the mentally distorted miner vented his tyrannical emotions, he kicked Gu Yi with satisfaction, and walked away with a filthy word cursing, Gu Yi endured the dizziness and severe pain all over his body, and struggled to get up.
With his head down and hiding the crazy light of hatred in his eyes, Gu Yi staggered and climbed towards the mountainside again. He knew that he could not faint here, otherwise he would be awakened by a whip again if he was lucky. If he was unlucky, he would be thrown directly into the ground furnace where the fire rose, and burned the ore as "human oil".
A thunder came from his flat belly, and Gu Yi, who felt his stomach twitching, gritted his teeth and followed the rude roar of the mine servant, following a row of walking corpses, which seemed to be walking corpses. A little slower would cause whipping for no reason.
Walking to the edge of the mine pit that was dug, he picked up a crowbar thicker than his arm and wrapped in thick bark, inserted it into the crack of the rock, and tried hard to pry it with the hoarse trumpet, ignoring his palms that had been ground into blood blisters by the thick bark. His mind was confused and only thinking about when he could stop working and serve. Although the porridge that was once a day was unpalatable, it could at least provide the energy that would allow him to continue living the next day.
After coming to this strange place for no reason, Gu Yi no longer had much energy to consider whether the ridiculous dignity and personality had been hurt and trampled. In his eyes that had almost lost their focus, a flame called "persistence" was burning wildly: He wanted to survive!
"Click!"
A crisp sound woke Gu Yi up, the crowbar in his hand as thick as his arm suddenly broke, and the huge rocks that dozens of mine officials struggled to pry, slowly turned over lazily like giant beasts, along the slope, making a roar like the sky and the earth cracked, rolling down, colliding countless large rocks along the way, and the smoke and dust rose straight into the sky, which was extremely spectacular!
The next moment, Gu Yi felt that the broken rocks under his feet did not calm down as the huge rocks went away, but instead trembled like sieves and became more and more violent. The surrounding stones jumped up like dancing. The shocking roar from all directions and the exclamations of the mine clerks sounded together: "The ground is sinking! The ground is sinking!"
Before Gu Yi could react, a terrifying crack winded past his feet like an electric snake, and screamed in horror. Gu Yi and dozens of mine servants around him screamed in terrain and fell into the crack. The hillside where he was originally standing collapsed, a large pit with a radius of hundreds of meters and a depth of tens of meters came.
The miner roared and desperately beat the escaped mine clerks, trying to suppress them. Several soldiers in jealous clothes rushed to visit and pointed to the pit covered with gravel and laughed: "Very good! Very good! This saves a lot of money!"
As for the dozens of miners buried in gravel, no one spent any more time. When the smoke and dust dissipated, the gravel settled. Countless miners with insensitive faces stepped into the huge pit and carried pieces of gravel to the stone yard, regardless of the possibility that the next one would be buried in the gravel.
.After a long time, Gu Yi woke up from the darkness, and his whole body seemed to be crushed and hurt in every place!
After choking out a few mouthfuls of blood, Gu Yi struggled to get up and kneaded his body. He found that he had not suffered any serious injuries except for the pain in his skin.
After enduring the pain and fumbled in the dark for a while, Gu Yi realized that he must have fallen into the crack of the ground and happened to roll into a crypt. Only then did he not be buried by gravel, which was a blessing in disgrace.
Gu Yi found the gravel piled up at the entrance of the cave in the darkness. Although he was not dead, this situation was not far from death. Could it be that the miners who did not regard the mine as people at all organized their hands to rescue him?
He slowly sat down against the cave wall. Gu Yi gasped slightly, and accumulated physical strength silently. In the dark environment, his eyes were burning with unwilling flames. However, the pain and hunger made him so dizzy that he couldn't help but fall asleep half-drowning.
I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Yiyou woke up and moved slightly, but was so excited that he was breathed in a breath of air conditioning by the injuries on his body. Then he was surprised to find that he was still alive!?
In the absolute silence, Gu Yi reacted. The cave he was in was not in a trace of depression. It was said that he was buried in the cave underground. Even if he was not smashed to death or seriously injured, he would suffocate due to lack of oxygen and die without pain in his sleep, right?
