Chapter 4: Big things are reduced to trivial matters "What kind of person is doing this?" Suddenly a shout came from the fork in front of the road, and a figure wearing a knitted mask also turned from the fork, pointing at two people, one tall and one short, in the dim light. There is more than one passage in this tunnel that looks like a mine. Since the exact location of the target was not known at the beginning of the excavation, a group of indigenous monks dug around underground for a month. It was not until they found the target that they focused on one direction. Excavation, so there are many forks in the cave. The reason why they were questioned by the supervisor was naturally because the two people, muttering secretly, were busy chatting, their feet were too dawdling, and their procrastination and laziness were too obvious. To use what Wu Jinliang said before, is this too aboveboard for us to do? In short, the two of them were startled when they heard the sound. When they saw it was the supervisor, they immediately bent their backs and ran forward to admit their mistake like a dog. Their actions were so consistent. However, the supervisor was really annoyed by the two's obvious laziness, and he didn't take their supervisor seriously enough. He suddenly came over, waved his hand and hit Shi Chun in the face with a whip, wanting to teach him a lesson. People's temperament is so self-centered sometimes. This move made Shi Chun very unhappy. As far as he knew, both the miners and the supervisors were recruited by Shen Youkun. They just had different divisions of labor. No one could have a long-term job. Everyone worked together and worked together. Why are you so serious about offending people? The stunned Wu Jinliang didn't give any response, and had no intention of helping or discouraging him. He believed that the big boss would handle this trivial matter on his own. Shi Chun's subconscious reaction was to dodge, and even wanted to fight back to show off the opponent. The pole on his shoulder almost hit him, but thinking about the current situation, he held it back, not wanting to anger the opponent or make a big fuss. . Then he decided to let the other party vent his anger and stood there without moving to avoid it.
However, you can't let the other party whip you in the face without any reaction. What if your appearance is ruined? He felt that he might still be able to rely on his reputation to make a living in the future. He raised his hand, holding the barrier in front of him. There was a crack of a whip, and Shi Chun grimaced in pain. He quickly withdrew his hand and saw that a whip mark on his arm was bleeding at a visible speed. He was so angry that he didn't expect the other party to hit him so hard. Half a layer of skin was gone, and Wu Jinliang bared his teeth and grinned. It hurt to look at it. Shi Chun, who was secretly angry, had to endure it, and nodded and bowed to the supervisor who came to him, trying to turn the big deal into a trivial matter. "Tell me, what are you waiting for?" The supervisor poked Shi Chun in the chest with his whip, and then poked Wu Jinliang in the chest and asked, "You don't want to eat this bowl of rice, do you?" Shi Chun said hurriedly: "No dawdling, no dawdling, the strong man calmed down." He showed the blood on his arm to show the other party's pity, hoping that the other party would be fine. The supervisor didn't calm down: "Do you think I'm blind?" Wu Jinliang said hurriedly: "It really didn't take long. I twisted my foot, so I walked slowly." The supervisor pointed at his ear and said, "It seems that you not only think I'm blind, but also deaf, right? You guys chatted happily all the way, and I thought I didn't notice? OK, you're just being stubborn, right? OK, I won't make it difficult for you. I'll let you stand here and chat as long as others don't object. Just keep chatting." As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the tall and the short changed slightly. They were here to take advantage of loopholes. How could they stand here and let the people coming and going admire them, for fear that others would not notice them? It will be even more troublesome when Shen Youkun comes later. Do you really want to kidnap him? Unless absolutely necessary, there is no need to take someone hostage. Shi Chun immediately raised his hands and said, "This strong man..." "Don't move!" the supervisor interrupted with a shout, and pointed the whip at Shi Chun's foot, which was trying to move forward to salute, "I asked you to stand there and talk slowly, don't you hear me? Let's talk, let's continue talking about you." Shi Chun remained silent, his eyes fixed on the other person behind his hanging hair, and then he tilted his head and gave Wu Jinliang a wink. The burden on Wu Jin's shoulders fell to the ground with a crash. Under the sudden gaze of the supervisor, he knelt down and burst into tears. "I was wrong. I have an old man above me and a young man below me. I just pointed at this reward." , please sir, be merciful and let me go this time..." Weeping and kneeling, she walked to the overseer, hugged the overseer's legs and begged with sobs. Are the bones so soft? The supervisor also looked surprised. He shouted "get out of the way" and tried to push the other person away, but was caught by the other person. Wu Jinliang, who was crying, hugged him all the way. The supervisor quickly noticed something was wrong and found that both hands were being hugged together around the waist without even realizing it. The important thing was that he couldn't break free even with all his strength.
He sensed the danger, and just as he was about to use his knee to knock away the hugging person, a sudden chill hit his neck. His eyes caught a glimpse of the metallic luster on his chin, which was still cold under the dim light. He could already feel the cracking pain in his neck. Feeling oppressed by this threat, I didn't dare to move. Shi Chun took out a knife from nowhere and put it on his neck, and the burden on his shoulders fell to the ground. The supervisor suddenly asked nervously: "What do you want to do?" "Shut up!" Shi Chun warned. The supervisor whispered again: "Everything is easy to discuss..." Shi Chun moved behind him, raised the arm that was bruised with blood, and covered his mouth under the mask with his hand, making him shut up. The sharp edge on his neck drew a spurt of blood cleanly, leaving the other party no chance to breathe. Wu Jinliang, as if he had no idea, rolled away from the spray of blood. The supervisor, who had used all his strength to struggle, was pinned to the ground. Shi Chun pressed his knees on his lower back, and the hand covering his mouth made a snapping sound, breaking his neck. The supervisor's body was still twitching. Shi Chun, who had wiped the blood off the knife, had already stood up and looked into the depths of the mine. There were faint footsteps coming, and he whispered, "Someone is coming, get rid of him quickly." This was also the reason why he decisively killed the supervisor. People came and went here, and once he was entangled, he would have no room to maneuver here. Without any hesitation, Wu Jinliang quickly picked up the supervisor who was still moving slightly and ran away, dodging towards the fork in the road where the supervisor had just come out. Shi Chun quickly hid the knife under the fig leaf on his thigh, and quickly took out a woven mask from under the basket to wear on his face. He quickly tied a black cloth strip on his arm, and picked up the supervisor's whip in his hand. Two pairs of burdens They were piled together urgently and put aside. Then they turned around and swept the floor with their legs. The dust covered the blood on the ground. As soon as he waved his hand and cast a spell to calm down the smoke and dust, he saw two people dressed as supervisors walking over quickly. When they passed by, the two of them had no intention of communicating with Shi Chun, and even though there were two piles of burdens lying next to them, they didn't take it seriously. However, the strange smell made the two of them stop one after another, and their breaths were quivering. One person said in a deep voice: "The smell of blood!" The other person nodded and looked around, and the two quickly looked at Shi Chun on the roadside. Shi Chun calmly raised his blood-stained arm and lowered his voice, "I accidentally got it while playing with a whip." He was not pretending to be calm, but he was really not panicking. Seeing that he was injured, the two supervisors were relieved and slightly surprised. Shi Chun didn't wait for them to ask more questions, and took the lead to change the topic by asking, "What are you doing?" A supervisor explained: "Looking at the excavation progress, the remaining earthwork should not be large. I would like to discuss with Mr. Shen. There is no need to pick it out all the way. You can directly discharge it into other branch holes, which saves time and effort, and can Speed up the excavation.” "That makes sense." Shi Chun nodded in agreement and raised his hand without giving a sign. The two supervisors left quickly. Shi Chun, who was watching, looked back at the depths of the mine, thinking to himself, no wonder the miners who were carrying the heavy load didn't come out again just now. Wu Jinliang's figure flashed from the fork in the road, quickly arrived in front of him, and whispered: "Buried, are you okay?" Shi Chun: "It's all because of you, always nagging me. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any trouble." He pointed to the load piled beside him, motioning him to pick it up and leave. Wu Jinliang was a little reluctant, "Why am I always playing the coolie role? It's time for me to take a turn, right?" Shi Chun said as he walked: "Is there anyone as tall as you among the supervisors? Are you afraid that others won't recognize you?"
Wu Jinliang was speechless and had nothing to say. It was indeed the case. Such a tall person among the supervisors was too eye-catching to get through. In fact, such a tall man among the miners has aroused the suspicion of other miners before, and he is not blind, so it is impossible not to be suspicious. However, Shichun, a fake supervisor, appeared on the way, proving that Wu Jinliang came later, and the miners naturally There is no doubt anymore. The same method is used to deal with the suspicion of supervisors. When encountering suspicious people who cannot be dealt with, their method is very simple, just get rid of them. Anyway, after the two of them figured out the situation of the people here, they sneaked in directly. They were not rigid. They hid when they needed to hide and avoided when they needed to. Sometimes they were together and sometimes they were separated. Shichun was sometimes a miner and sometimes a supervisor, taking advantage of every opportunity to calmly go back and forth. Switch identities to cope. In Shi Chun's words, this Dongjiuyuan is my territory! In short, the two of them did not do much work at all. They were running around and searching in this underground mine, treating the people on the opposite side as if they were nothing. They were indeed so bold that they were almost above board. Of course, it’s not that I’m unprepared. I’ve already been mentally prepared: if you can cope with it, cope with it, if you can’t cope with it, run away! However, Wu Jinliang, who was following behind, still lamented, "Another one has been killed. If we continue like this, there will be fewer and fewer people, and it will be difficult not to find out." "Can you shut your mouth?" Shi Chun, who was walking in front, turned around and asked, also as a reminder, is this a place for chatting? Something almost happened just now. As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly turned back and looked forward, only to see a figure flashing towards them, so fast that he almost missed the two of them. The person who came was also a masked supervisor. He stopped to avoid the two of them and continued on his way. So urgent? Shi Chun noticed that the supervisor's reaction was wrong. He would not miss any opportunity to pry, so he immediately blocked the way with his hand and asked, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" "If you dig something, you have to notify Mr. Shen." The visitor said casually, pushed aside the arm blocking the way, and left quickly. "Did you find something?" Shi Chun muttered, turning around and looking at each other with Wu Jin, both of them were surprised. Haven't you dug up the stuff a long time ago? Isn't it just that skeleton of an unknown person? Is it worth the fuss? The two of them instantly realized that there might be another trick. Since they were here, they naturally didn't want to miss it. They immediately moved away and headed straight to the end of the mine. (End of this chapter)
