As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

No road can bear this kind of load, so the roads leading into the village are all dirt roads full of potholes.

So when big trucks pass by, they always drop some coal slag. Over time, the road has turned black, the color of coal slag.

There were many people standing by along the road holding a basket. Whenever a large cart passed by, they would rush forward and grab some of the fallen coal, which was actually just like picking up money.

Looking at Ye Lin's eyes, Peng Qiang said self-deprecatingly: "Brother, this is the privilege of the locals. We outsiders are not qualified to pick it up. We can only go to dig coal."

Ye Lin smiled and fell into deep thought.

After driving to Mosha Township, there are even more people picking up coal. Some of them are even blatantly holding a long bamboo pole and picking up coal whenever a car passes by. There are more coal than what falls naturally.

These people who drive coal transporting cars seem to be used to it and no one has any objection.

Mosha Township can be said to have been born for mining. There are only a few streets in the entire township, and the most common places are bathhouses. However, Ye Lin feels that taking a bath is useless, because as soon as he comes out, the air is filled with fine coal slag.

Sometimes Ye Lin wondered whether it was really worth it to make money by destroying the ecology of his hometown. Besides, living in such a place for a long time would definitely not be good for his health.

The car stopped at the village bus station. After the three got off, Peng Qiang skillfully called a black car and drove into the mountains.

On the roadside, you will pass by some coal mines from time to time. The tall machinery and the banging noises are very disturbing.

There is black everywhere. Only when you go to a place like this will you know how beautiful green is.

Peng Qiang pointed to a gate on the side of the road and said, "Brother, look, this is the largest coal mine, but it's owned by the government, and the coal miners inside are all locals with official positions."

"But places like this won't hire us. We have to go further in. Only small coal mines will hire us." Cai Rong said self-deprecatingly.

Ye Lin looked over and it really had the feeling of a government enterprise. The beautiful gate stood out particularly on this mine that looked like a large construction site. Various safety slogans were written on the walls on both sides. Conveyor belts and cranes were running on the mountain, and the workers were walking around leisurely, not in a hurry at all, with smiles on their faces.

He really looked very happy.

But as we went further in, the road became worse and worse, and the size of the coal mines on the roadside gradually became smaller.

The better ones have a gate, the worse ones just have a few houses, and the workers here all have dark faces and dull eyes, and it seems there is no fun in their life and work.

After driving for 40 minutes, the car finally stopped and the three people got out and walked forward.

Ahead was a small coal mine. A few dilapidated houses were built randomly on the open space. Groups of numb miners, like zombies, crawled out from the ground from time to time, their faces full of fatigue.

"Here?" Ye Lin asked pretending to be afraid.

Peng Yong gently hugged Ye Lin, and together with Cai Rong, he said in a relaxed manner: "Brother, this is the only place that can recruit us. Don't even think about it. You'll get used to it after working for a while. When you have money, you can go to the countryside to take a bath and find a girl or something. It's very comfortable."

Ye Lin pretended to struggle a few times, but the two men were too strong, so Ye Lin had to give up. If he tried any more, he would be exposed.

The two men skillfully brought Ye Lin to a house that was obviously decorated differently. This was the boss's place.

The boss of the coal mine was not there. The person in charge was a bald, middle-aged, greasy man. He looked the three men up and down and was satisfied with their physiques.

However, he still had that look of disdain on his face, and said critically, "You're a little skinny, I don't know if you can endure this hardship. Don't let him cry and wail and want to leave after working for two days."

Ye Lin secretly despised him in his heart and said, Damn it, my physique is not good enough. Believe it or not, I can knock out all the few remaining hairs on you with one punch.

Peng Yong and his friends seemed to be used to this kind of criticism and said nonchalantly, "We can do it. We have done it before, right, brother?"

Peng Yong turned to look at Ye Lin and blinked.

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment, then he hummed in a cooperative manner.

The shrewd bald manager had already figured it out, but he didn't expose it. He just said calmly, "Do you have your ID card?"

"Yes, we do." Peng Yong and Cai Rong took out their ID cards.

Ye Lin was stunned for a moment. Damn, didn't you say you guys are also guilty? How dare you take out your ID cards?

Cai Rong saw Ye Lin's confusion and waved his hand to signal him not to speak.

The bald manager took the ID card, looked at it, and read it out, "Peng Yong, Cai Rong, from Guizhou Province."

He looked between the two people, compared them, and then casually threw the ID card on the table.

Turning his head to look at Ye Lin, "What about yours?"

There was a trace of panic in Ye Lin's eyes, and he looked at Peng Yong for help.

Peng Yong quickly took out a pack of cigarettes, handed it to the bald manager, and said with a smile: "Boss, my brother's name is Ye Lin, and he lost his ID card on the way here."

The bald manager sneered and pushed the cigarette away. He really looked down on this kind of cigarette that cost 10 yuan a pack.

"Lost your ID card? You just say it's lost?" he said coldly.

"Boss, we are really together. We can prove it, Ye Lin, don't you think so?" Cai Rong squeezed Ye Lin with his hand.

Ye Lin quickly said: "Yes, yes, we are together, I lost my ID card."

The bald manager squinted his eyes, looked around, and said with an expression of knowing everything but not saying anything: "Okay, then 200 yuan a day, food and accommodation included, if you can, we can start working today."

"Boss, boss." Peng Yong immediately showed an embarrassed expression when he heard the price. "We are three strong laborers. 200 is too little."

"That's right. We are very hardworking and we definitely won't be lazy. If you pay us a little higher, you won't lose out if we have three of us together." Cai Rong said from the side.

The bald manager didn't seem to expect that they would complain that it was not enough, and was about to scold them.

Suddenly I remembered that my boss recently asked us to recruit more people. Apart from the white bone case, there are even fewer people willing to come to Aisan County. By then, no one will work and everyone will have nothing to do. The higher the salary, the better.

What's more, he seemed to be quite satisfied with these three people. They looked strong and could definitely do a lot more than that old man. It seemed worthwhile to pay them a higher salary.

Seeing the bald manager's hesitation, Peng Yong's face changed and he pretended to be unhappy and said, "Boss, the three of us are together anyway. If you don't want us, we can go to another one."
