Familiar Boss

Chapter 19 Mine Cave
The people next to him were busy stuffing things into their clothes, while bending down to pick up their own tools, they cast mocking glances at Su Ke from time to time.

"New boy, being a miner is not as easy as you think!"

"After finishing his work today, he may not even have the strength to go back! Hahaha!"

"As long as you don't get carried out, you'll be fine!"

"It's not normal to carry them out. There are collapses in this damn mine every day, and people are being carried out every day."

"This damn mine is too strange recently, and it collapses too frequently."

"Indeed, it collapsed twice in three days, and all those damn unlucky ghosts that hit it died."

"It's better to be careful."

"I really don't know if I will be crushed to death in it someday."

From the ridicule, people unconsciously talked about topics that frightened and weighed them down.

These people took their tools and left the mine one after another, slowly walking towards the dark mine.

"Boy, when you are working, you must be vigilant at all times."

Before the last one left, he did not forget to turn around and remind Su Ke: "Don't try to be lazy at work, kid! If you hear something in the mine, run out quickly!"

The old man took two pieces of black bread and handed them to him. Hearing the reminder to Su Ke from the last person who left, he looked at the back of the person who left hesitantly.

At this time, he shifted his gaze to Su Ke again, and shook his head with unspeakable difficulties on his face.

Because he heard what these people talked about just now, he was worried that the mine collapsed every day recently, and many people died.

Now he sees that such a young boy like Su Ke might disappear after entering this mine, so he doesn't know whether he should feel sorry for Su Ke.

But he felt that even he himself could not protect himself, and he might be crushed to death inside, so the old man was helpless.

"This is breakfast, hurry up and work hard!" The old man pointed at the two slices of bread in Su Ke's hands with a serious expression.

The old man handed Su Ke a slice of bread, and before Su Ke could take a bite, he turned around and bent over, grabbed a shovel and threw it in front of Su Ke.

He said in an urging tone: "This is your tool, take it and go to the mine right now!"

Su Ke was stunned when he saw the shovel thrown by the old man towards his feet.

I feel depressed that this is too rushed. You have to give me 1 minute to eat breakfast. You should wait until I finish eating before going to work.

"Don't be lazy, you brat!" The old man turned around and warned again seriously before Su Ke could bend down to pick up the shovel.

After the old man finished speaking, he looked towards the not far behind Su Ke.

Su Ke noticed the old man's gaze, and turned to look behind him.

I saw a few soldiers not far away staring at him and the old man, and walking slowly towards him.

The old man hurriedly turned around and bent down, and hurriedly grabbed a shovel at his feet, looking panicked.

He rolled his eyes at Su Ke and said, "Boy, quickly pick up the shovel on the ground and follow me!"

After finishing speaking, the old man picked up the shovel in one hand and an oil lamp in the other, and staggered into the dark mine in a hurry.

Xiao Hei was on Su Ke's shoulder, looking behind Su Ke, and saw the soldiers walking towards him.

"Master, hurry up and follow the old man in front, the soldiers behind are coming!" Xiao Hei said worriedly.

It knew that the old man urged Su Ke just now because he was afraid of being caught by those soldiers.

As long as you are caught by these soldiers, it is a serious crime of laziness, and you will be beaten.

Seeing the soldiers getting closer behind him, Su Ke didn't have time to take a bite of the bread in his hand, so he had to stuff the bread into his clothes.

Then he hurriedly bent down and grabbed the shovel on the ground, and trotted after the old man in front.

Although the mine was dark and dark, Su Ke had acquired the ability of night vision from Xiao Hei, so he could see clearly even in the dark as during the day.

When they hunted down the "thief" koala last night, Su Ke had already discovered it, so he wasn't surprised.

After Su Ke followed the old man, he took the initiative to make friends with the old man: "My name is Su Ke, what's your name?".

As the old man strenuously walked forward, he just gave Su Ke a cold look and didn't answer him immediately.

After a while, the old man responded with a disgusted hum: "An De."

Su Ke was very happy when he heard Old Man Ang's cold answer, which meant that he was willing to make friends with him.

He asked with a smile: "Oh! Under! Besides being a miner, what other position do you hold here?"

The old man didn't answer his words, but concentrated on looking at the light of the oil lamp under his feet, which was so dimly lit that he couldn't see clearly, and hurried on the road.

Obviously the old man is very familiar with this area of ​​the mine, even though the road conditions are not very clear at the moment, the old man still walks very fast and smoothly.

The kerosene lamp in the old man's hand swayed violently from side to side as he walked.

Su Ke looked at Ang De expectantly, obviously waiting for his answer.

But after a while, Su Ke saw that Ang De didn't hum anymore, thinking that the old man didn't understand him.

"I just saw that you were distributing bread slices and labor tools to those people just now, and you also distributed them to me..." Su Ke hurriedly explained.

As if Unde didn't hear it, he kept his original speed and continued to walk quickly into the mine.

Seeing that Ang De ignored him, Su Ke continued to ask speculatively, "Are you from Fengming Castle? Are you the person in charge of guarding us miners?"

Ang De reprimanded Su Ke impatiently: "Boy, can you please let me be quiet?"

"Okay!" Su Ke said boringly, resting the shovel on his shoulders, and walking lazily with his hands on it.

In the depths of the dark mine in front, there was the sound of "ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, it sounds like a busy scene.

It's just that the light from the kerosene lamp shining inside is very dim, and ordinary people's eyesight must not be able to see clearly at such a long distance.

Even though Ang De was holding a kerosene lamp close at hand, it was difficult to see clearly what was one meter away.

It is conceivable that the distance that this kerosene lamp can illuminate is really too limited, and the light visibility is very low.

But this is not difficult for Su Ke who has the skill of night vision, he can clearly see the scene in front of him.

So in Su Ke's eyes, there is no difference between day and night, as long as they are within his line of sight, they can be seen clearly.

Next to the miners are their kerosene lamps, sweating profusely, and are busy waving their shovels.

Rows of miners are digging hard facing the black mine wall.

The hard mine wall collided with the shovel, making a lively and bright sound, and sparks flashed from time to time.

Some people carried baskets on their backs and were loading ore into the baskets, while others walked out of the mine with large baskets full of ore on their backs.
