"Let's go." Bai Yilou turned and walked out, saying, "Go and see what they are digging."

Bai Hao let out a cry, and hurriedly followed. Looking at the busy people outside, he suddenly asked bitterly: "Are we going to do something with them? Can we use a blindfold to stealthily see what they are doing?"

Bai Yilou turned around and looked at Bai Hao, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, want to be lazy again?"

Bai Hao's thoughts were guessed by the other party, and he didn't feel ashamed. Instead, his eyes sparkled and he had an expression that you understand, but Bai Yilou said: "You are so weak, why don't you take this opportunity to exercise, you always want to Lazy, how about starting a family and starting a business in the future, but if you can afford the responsibility of being the head of the family, don’t you have to rely on your family to support you?”

"Who wants to eat soft food?" Bai Hao was quite upset. Bai Yilou said that he needs to be supported by his family, but he is just lazy and not without ambition, so he retorted: "I just think it's better to inquire about things by being invisible. No one needs to support me, but I am the one who is responsible for supporting them.”

Bai Yilou smiled, noncommittal.

The two of them got out of the house and went straight to the cave.

As soon as he approached the cave, Bai Yilou stopped, frowned and looked at the cave not far away, looked around and said: "There is a powerful aura in this cave, and it is all around."

"What breath?" Hearing this, Bai Hao hurriedly followed Bai Yilou's eyes, and took a sniff.

Bai Yilou slowly shook his head and said, "I just felt a very strange breath, as for what's weird about it, I don't know yet."

Saying it is tantamount to not saying it, Bai Hao cursed and said, "Then let's go."

The man who woke them up before was directing the men who came in and out to do things. Seeing the two men walking leisurely, he yelled: "You two! Why are you here now? Come here to get the pick and the iron, hurry up!" Go to work, and if I find out that you are lazy, go home and hug your wife! Don’t come.”

Bai Hao sighed silently, resigned himself to his fate, took two picks and iron brazing irons from the bamboo basket outside the cave and distributed them to Bai Yilou, and walked into the cave.

Just now from a distance, I saw that the cave was dark, but there was a dim yellow light.

There are people coming and going in the cave, and there is a lantern every ten feet. The air in the cave is very bad, full of dust, and it is very suffocating. Bai Haofu couldn't stop coughing as soon as he entered the cave. Bai Yilou turned his head to look at Bai Hao. Ask: "Are you okay?"

Bai Hao covered his mouth and nose and shook his head. Unexpectedly, this action caused him not to see the stone under his feet. Just as he was about to move forward, he tripped and lost his center of gravity. When he saw someone, he yelled and rushed forward, Bai Yilou clicked his tongue in distaste, stepped forward and hugged Bai Hao, lifted him up and stood up.

Bai Hao patted his chest in shock, looking at the stones all over the ground, it would not be much better if he fell on it, he said with lingering fear: "I'm stupid, if I really fell on it, my head would be broken. Scared the baby."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yilou heard these words, and he actually looked Bai Hao up and down seriously, and said, "Baby? You don't look like a baby, so long."

Bai Hao: "..."

When the two walked in, they saw that the cave was divided into three parts, forming three forked roads.

There were people rushing in and out of every fork, and the two chose a cave at random and walked straight.

The sound of ding ding dong dong sounded continuously, and the more people walked in, Bai Hao couldn't help but said suspiciously: "This hole is dug so deep that the mountain is almost pierced through. It's all stones. What kind of mine is this?" .”

Bai Yilou silently looked around and didn't speak.

The further you walked in, the louder the noise, and it was very stuffy. Perhaps it was because of the lack of ventilation in the cave. Bai Hao had only walked for a while, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat.

The sound of ding ding dongdong became clearer and clearer, and the two gradually walked to the bottom of the cave, and saw a group of people squatting on the ground digging the mountain, and a shirtless steward standing next to them kept urging them.

"You two!" The man in charge saw them and shouted loudly, "Come here, there are few people here."

The two glanced at each other, and honestly went to squat down and imitate others to chisel rocks.

Everyone was very quiet, and it was hard for Bai Hao to talk to Bai Yilou, so he had to knock on the mountain until his hands softened, but only some stone powder was knocked out.

At noon, as soon as the steward left, the crowd gradually started talking, and the knocking sound gradually weakened. Under Bai Yilou's instruction, Bai Hao patted a man next to him and asked, "Brother, are you digging?" What, after digging so deep, the mountain is almost pierced, and I haven't dug it yet."

The man was sweating, looked at Bai Hao and Bai Yilou up and down, and then said: "I saw that you look very strange, you two are new recruits? Let me tell you, actually I don't know who is in charge. What do we dig? When we were recruited, it was said to be gold mines, but you can see that the mountain is almost dug right through, but there is nothing, but I don’t care about it, as long as we spend our monthly money every month It’s over, I’ll dig whatever he told me to dig.”

Bai Hao looked sideways at Bai Yilou, and asked, "When did you come here and how long have you been digging?"

The man thought for a while and said: "I have been here for three months, and I have been digging for three months. I have dug out some stones all day long, and I haven't seen a single golden bump."

Bai Hao nodded, seeing that there was nothing to ask, he thanked the man and then turned to look at Bai Yilou, wanting to see what Bai Yilou would say about it.

However, Bai Yilou didn't express any opinion, just doing things in silence.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Hao put down the tools in his hand and started to be lazy.

There were clanging and knocking sounds one after another, everyone was talking and doing things with the people around them, all kinds of voices in the cave were mixed together, and the atmosphere was smoky, it was extremely noisy.

Bai Hao was so disturbed by these voices that his head was buzzing, and he was quite irritable, so he sat up and chiseled the mountain vigorously, clanging and clanging on the hard rock wall for a long time, and finally evolved from stone powder to chiseling some gravel , I can't help feeling that the ancients were really hardworking and hardworking, and I don't know how those magnificent pagodas and temples were built without the assistance of any machines.

Bai Hao turned his head to look at Bai Yilou, and saw that he had dug a small hole, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "You can do anything, just like opening a cheat."

Bai Yilou glanced at Bai Hao, and said with two minds: "This is not difficult, you can do it too, but it's just that you have a restless temper and need more training."

"It has nothing to do with temperament." Bai Hao reached out to pinch Bai Yilou's arm, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, you still have muscles. Look, this kind of hard work is actually related to physical fitness. I My poor physique is not because I don’t want to exercise, but because I was not in good health before, so I can’t be too tired, or I will get sick.”

Bai Yilou let Bai Hao pinch his arm, did not say anything, and continued to do what he was doing.

Two quarters of an hour later, the manager came back and was picking his teeth with a toothpick. He said impatiently, "Everyone go eat, eat quickly and come back soon."

Bai Hao suddenly felt a sense of relief, and hastily dropped the tools in his hand, showing a joyful expression.

After hearing the words, everyone put down their tools one after another, and walked out noisyly pushing and shoving each other.

The two followed behind the crowd and left the cave in a mighty manner.

The sun was shining brightly outside the cave, and the air was very refreshing. Breathing the fresh air, Bai Hao felt like he was alive.

There were crowds of people in the open space, queuing up for dinner, Bai Hao checked with his eyes, there must be at least a few hundred people, what's in this cave, it's actually worthy of the Bai family's mobilization.

When it was their turn, it was already a quarter of an hour later, Bai Hao and Bai Yilou found a place with fewer people and squatted down to eat with the rice.

Although the food wasn't very good, Bai Hao wasn't picky about his food, so he ate it with relish, while Bai Yilou didn't touch the food in his hand a few times.

As soon as the meal was finished, someone came to urge everyone to do things. Bai Hao felt depressed for a moment, and felt that he could have another ten bowls of rice. He ate slowly and counted grains one by one, until the end of time, until all the work here was done. .

Bai Yilou, who heard Bai Hao's inner voice, really couldn't control the disgusted look in his eyes. He looked at Bai Hao back and forth several times, and stopped his eyes until he realized that he was wrong when he saw him crying out incessantly.

The two of them spent the day in the midst of clanging bells. When it got dark, the laborers were called out of the hole by the foreman and returned to the small hut. Bai Hao was stuck on the bed, his whole body was sore, and he didn't want to move.

Bai Yilou came over and picked him up, forcing him to wash his hands and wipe his face.

Bai Hao's face was full of dust, and the dust on the light blue clothes could be seen clearly. He was too tired to move, and he didn't want to go out after sitting around for a long time, but Bai Yilou was so easy to dismiss, so Bai Hao had to resort to his own The ultimate move is to hug Bai Yilou's strong waist and not get out.

Bai Yilou had no choice but to fetch water by himself, and brought a clean cloth towel from the foreman, moistened it and wiped it for Bai Hao who was spread out flat on the bed.

In order to prevent Bai Yilou from carrying him to wash up, Bai Hao pretended to be asleep, but he didn't expect such benefits, so his heart was beating wildly, he was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe casually, and he lay on the bed and let Bai Yilou manipulate him.

After cleaning up Bai Hao, Bai Yilou was satisfied. He was so dirty that he would definitely go to his side when he went to bed later, and he wanted to hug him clean anyway.

A few men entered the room intermittently. The hut is short and narrow. As soon as four or five people came in, it seemed very oppressive and crowded. Looking at the innermost bed that belongs to me, I really don't know how this ten beds can sleep so many strong men.

But soon he knew.

The people in the room seldom spoke, perhaps because they were tired during the day and were saving their energy.

Several other people entered the room one after another, ten of them were all together, the room was full of sweaty smell, they casually tore off the rags hanging behind the door, wiped themselves, and sat on their own beds, Bai Hao felt that the bed boards were suddenly lifted The bed is at least five centimeters shorter, so it won't collapse. Bai Hao looked down and found that there are stones supporting the bed, so it shouldn't be so easy to be crushed.

In it, he, Bai Yilou and two of the men were thin, and the other six were as strong as cows. They all took off their shoes and fell on the bed, regardless of whether they crossed the line or not, they just closed in very comfortably. eye sleep.

The men who were occupied by the extra beds didn't say much, they just lay down and slept to occupy other people's beds, and after this cycle, in the end, only the four thin people would suffer, and the other two had their mouths open. A dissatisfied voice came out, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He must have been cleaned up, so he had to lie on his side reluctantly.

A big man next to Bai Yilou took up half of his bed, and he didn't say much, lying on his side to separate the man with ghost power, he didn't want to be squeezed by strangers at night.
