Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 70 Something is wrong

What can make Li Jinghong tempted?

It obviously can't be ordinary money.

Chu Mu has never seen Li Jinghong tempted by money. The only time he was tempted, or greed, was this time... the mysterious supernatural inheritance from a higher level in Qili Village.

In other words, what tempted Li Jinghong was the mysterious supernatural of a higher level.

And the man in white, who had just arrived, chased and killed the young man, and then refined the old man's body into a mummy.

What can tempt the man in white obviously can't be worldly paper money, but must be the supernatural interests of his level.

In other words... there is a treasure hidden in the mine that can tempt the supernatural of the man in white.

Suddenly, Chu Mu suddenly thought of the source of all the turmoil.

That is the order to increase mine production issued by the county city.

Now it seems that it should be the will of the Nanshan Li family.

But no matter what, all the turmoil in Nanshan Town and even Qinghe County during this period was caused by that order.

The burden of corvée labor, which was already difficult to bear, was artificially increased again, which led to the civil uprising in Qili Village and the current turmoil.

And this source, could it be the reason why Li Jinghong and the man in white were looking for the so-called treasure in the mine?

As far as Chu Mu knows, Nanshan Iron Mine has been mined for decades. Although the output fluctuates every year, there has never been a request for large-scale production increases.

This possibility is undoubtedly still there.

Chu Mu took a bite of the big meat bun, his eyes flickering slightly.

After a bowl of noodles and a few baskets of buns, he finally barely filled his stomach. Picking up the baskets of buns that the waiter had already packed, Chu Mu walked downstairs slowly.

After walking a few steps, before he reached the downstairs, accompanied by the shrill whistle coming from far to near on the street, the originally noisy inn instantly became silent.

Then, one after another, the inspectors put down their bowls and chopsticks and ran out of the inn.

The whistle was shrill and extremely harsh, and its meaning was also significant, that is, it meant to call for a meeting!

When the whistle sounded, except for the patrol inspectors on duty, all other patrol inspectors had to gather at the patrol inspection station within a quarter of an hour. Those who delayed would be executed immediately!

Subconsciously, Chu Mu remembered this military order from the patrol inspection station.

At this moment, Chu Mu had no time to think about it. He carried the steamed buns and went straight to the patrol inspection station.

Before he arrived at the patrol inspection station, Chu Mu had already clearly seen the figures gathered inside and outside the patrol inspection station, and the chaotic noise was even clearer to his ears.

Most of the patrol inspectors looked confused, and they were obviously confused about this sudden gathering.

"The thousand households have ordered all patrol inspectors who are not on duty to enter the mine to listen to the order."

"Gather, quickly enter the mountain!"

Before Chu Mu asked, the shouting of gathering had already sounded.

Hearing this, Chu Mu's heart couldn't help but jump. Such a sudden gathering into the mountains, did the corvées in the mine rebel?

As the crowd gathered, even without counting the number of people, they gave an order and the assembled inspectors went straight to the mine.

Such a hurry and urgency obviously made Chu Mu not the only one worried. After all, in Nanshan Town, civil uprisings are really not uncommon!

But no matter how uncommon it is, if there is a real civil uprising, it will be these little people who will fight with real swords and guns, and they will fight with their lives!

The misery of the battle in Qili Village is still vivid in my mind!

At present, there are thousands of corvées in the mine. If this is a civil uprising, it is no joke.

Thousands of corvées, once the blood is on their heads, each with a hoe, can drown these hundreds of inspectors.

Chu Mu tried hard to recall the terrain in the mine. He had made up his mind. If it was really a civil uprising, the situation was not right, or he had to fight for his life, then he would run away decisively!

Today is different from the past.

When I first arrived, I was completely in the dark, and I didn't even have the most basic self-protection ability.

But now, I know everything I can understand, I have learned martial arts, and I have some self-protection ability.

At worst, I can take off this skin. With money and martial arts, I can live a good life anywhere.

"Huh?"

As soon as he entered the mine and looked around the mine, Chu Mu couldn't help but be stunned.

The order of the mine in front of him remained the same, the labor service and the inspection were as usual, without any abnormality, let alone the civil uprising.

There is no civil uprising... Then why is there such a scene...

Chu Mu was puzzled, but soon, when the team passed through several mining areas and stopped at the bottom of the mine, he saw the conspicuous white clothes and the many corvées summoned on the side, and Chu Mu seemed to understand a little.

"Thousand households."

The leading inspector stepped forward quickly.

Li Jinghong nodded, then looked at the man in white, hesitant to speak.

"People are here, let's start."

The man in white glanced at the many inspectors who came and waved his hand indifferently.

"Yes, sir!"

Li Jinghong responded quickly, and then shouted to the corvées to come forward. Under his command, the inspectors formed teams and guarded various places in this mining area.

"What are they digging?"

Xu Yuan bit his bun with a big mouthful, and looked at the dozens of corvées who were busy with some curiosity.

"If you want to eat, take it yourself."

Chu Mu stuffed the steamed buns he was carrying into Xu Yuan's hands, and his eyes also looked at Li Jinghong and the man in white who were bowing humbly not far away.

He paused for a moment, then turned to the dozens of corvées digging at the mountain wall.

What is this kind of scene doing? Combined with what he has seen and heard during this period, it is obviously not difficult to see.

After a night of searching, the man in white and Li Jinghong probably found the treasure they were looking for.

And now, they are obviously digging.

But... shouldn't the fewer people know about this kind of thing, the better?

Why did they go to such great lengths to bring all these inspectors who were on duty to rest here?

Chu Mu couldn't figure it out, but as long as there was no civil uprising and he wouldn't be forced to work hard, Chu Mu didn't bother to think too much and just watched the fun.

Clang clang clang...

Dozens of corvées were working hard to swing their tools, and gravel flew, sparks flew, and the harsh collision sound echoed in the mine.

The corvées worked hard, and the nearly two hundred inspectors who were transferred here just stood around the mine, looking at these dozens of corvées working idly.

Although he was quite curious about what they were digging, he didn't see anything special after watching for a long time. Chu Mu was too lazy to pay more attention. He found a stone to sit on and began to practice his Qi and blood.

Time passed slowly in the sound of clanging.

Chu Mu also sat on the stone like an old monk, without any movement.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, half an hour, one hour, two hours...

Time passed, everything was normal, nothing unusual.

But Chu Mu, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly woke up!

Something was wrong...
