Straight man of steel

Chapter 52: Changes in the family (fourth update, please recommend and vote for favorites)
When the night was near, the two brothers Xiong Daxiong had already carved out a big hole in the rock wall.

Half of the body can get in, so I can't see a large amount of coal.

But a small piece of coal was dug and a few pieces were dug.

But this is far from what Zhang Yuan wanted.

"Xiong Daxiong Er, please stop and rest first. Tomorrow, the two of them will continue working."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, Xiong Daxiong Er's spirit was relieved at once, even though the two of them were blacksmiths, they couldn't stand such a high frequency of chiseling the rock wall.

On the morning of the third day after entering the Longmen Mountains, Zhang Yuan and Fugui Erdan had already woken up, but Xiong Daxiong Er still slept soundly, snoring louder than they banged on the rock wall yesterday.

Zhang Yuan didn't wake them up. He ate something and let Fugui Erdan continue what Xiong Da and the others did yesterday.

The sound of jingling bells began to sound rhythmically again. Xiong Daxiong Er may be too tired, so there is no way to wake them up.

It was almost noon when Xiong Daxiong woke up leisurely. At this time, Fugui and Erdan were able to get into the hole dug out, and one of them was still holding a torch to see clearly inside.

Zhang Yuan was about to be disappointed. There should not be a lot of coal mines in the lower layer of the rock wall, and the black stones in the middle that were exposed to the air were the hiding places for the coal mines.

Right now he doesn't have a lot of manpower, and it's too difficult to dig out coal mines from here, and what he digs out is not even enough for himself.

"Clean up, let's go back."

Zhang Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said, and lowered his body to wrap the few small pieces of coal in sackcloth. It was too difficult for him to develop the coal mine in Longmen Mountain. Let's see if he can find someone to cooperate with him when he brings it back.

"Sir, shall we go back now?"

Xiong Er who had just woken up was a little dazed, so they dug out a few black stones, which looked worthless, no matter where you looked at them, they couldn't compare with the steel dagger.

"Well, it's been three days since I came out, and it will take two days to go back. I still have some things to deal with. Let's pack up and go back."

"Here."

After everyone packed up their things, they started to go in the direction they came from.

Zhang Yuan and the others walked quickly and returned to the camping site on the first night before the sun went down.

After a good night's rest, I rushed to the morning again the next day, for fear that the ferryman by the Wangjiang Pavilion would not be there if it was too late.

Fortunately, although the old man was not there, there was a large ship on the ferry, which should be a ship for transporting goods. Zhang Yuan paid a high price for them to send the five people in his party to the other side.

Then he started to run away again, and he didn't return home until it was dark.

"Come here, open the door, the young master is back."

Xiong Da knocked on the door several times before Xiao Qing came out and opened the door.

With a sad look on his face, he was not happy to see Zhang Yuan.

"What's the matter? Are you still angry because I didn't take you for an outing, son?
How could the little girl have such a temper at such a young age. "

Zhang Yuan dragged his tired body to the yard, saw Xiao Qing's bitter face, and reprimanded him.

As a result, Xiaoqing burst into tears.

"My lord, something happened at home. Uncle Zhao and Ah Huang were taken away by people from the Zhuo Mansion."

Ah Huang is not the name of a puppy, but the name of a handyman in Zhang Yuan's family. He is only one year older than Zhang Yuan, but his temperament is far less mature than Zhang Yuan's.

Even if he is not at home for a few days, Zhuo Mansion shouldn't come to arrest people.

Could it be that Zhuo Wangsun was really angry before and he wanted revenge.

"What? Let's go to the back room and say something clearly.

Xiong Da, you go back and rest first. "

"Here."

Although Zhang Yuan was angry, he didn't lose his mind, and took Xiao Qing directly into his bedroom.

"Tell me exactly what happened."

Zhang Yuan sat on the bed and asked Xiao Qing.

Xiaoqing wiped her tears and began to tell Zhang Yuan the whole story.

"Yesterday, Uncle Zhao was taking Ah Huang to cut trees in the green bar forest outside, when suddenly a group of people came and forcibly took them away.

We heard shouts in the inner courtyard, so we went out to check, but we only saw a carriage, and the maidservant remembered that carriage must belong to the Zhuo Mansion. "

What Xiaoqing said was very certain, and Zhang Yuan also believed that she would not lie about this matter. Besides, he only had so many intersections with Zhuo Wangsun in Linqiong, Sima Xiangru also returned to Chengdu, and no one else up.

It was specified that Zhuo Wangsun didn't run away, but he didn't know whether he was here to target himself or was thinking about taking Uncle Zhao back to get the water row.

"Okay, you can go back and rest too, tomorrow I will go to the Zhuo Mansion to find out what happened."

There is no way to think about this kind of thing on your own, so let go of your worries and doubts for the time being, and Zhang Yuan chooses to rest first.

When Zhang Yuan woke up, Xiong Da and the others stood in the yard, everyone was holding sticks and weapons, but Zhang Yuan didn't take back the two daggers, and Xiong Da and Xiong Er held them in their hands.

"My lord, are you going to the Zhuo Mansion to save Uncle Zhao and Ah Huang?"

"I'm just going to ask, what are you doing.

Are you going to fight?If the Zhuo Mansion really captured Lao Zhao and the others, how many of you have done more than the No. [-] people?
Go back, do whatever you want, I just go by myself. "

"But son, the Zhuo family is mainly against you, and you don't even have the ability to protect yourself."

"Yes, son, let us go with you, we are not afraid of death."

"Can't you hear what I said? Go back to your own room. My son, I'm just going to ask. Lao Zhao and Ah Huang may not have been taken away by the Zhuo Mansion, and nothing will happen. .”

Trust is a good thing, but it's hard to build that kind of trust.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuan has gained the trust of these craftsmen. They believe that Zhang Yuan has the ability to rescue Uncle Zhao and Ah Huang, and they also believe that Zhang Yuan will not be foolish and do things that endanger him.

"That son, you must be careful."

"Hmm, don't worry, everyone."

Seeing that everyone had gone back, Zhang Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, not to mention whether his ten or so people would be beaten by Zhuo Wangsun when they went to the Zhuo Mansion with weapons. It's a petty crime.

It is estimated that with the exception of Zhang Yuan, everyone else will have to be arrested for corvee service, or forcibly conscripted into the legendary slave army.
