Lu Menglin didn't know what was in the mine, but that didn't stop him from going in and taking a look. Anyway, he just had to play by ear.

Tu Gongchun spoke so vaguely, and Lu Menglin was not stupid. In addition to knowing that the mine was dangerous and the miners were also dangerous, he didn't even know what kind of mine was inside, so how could he be careless?

As we get closer and closer to the entrance of the mine, miners in twos and threes are already gathering at the entrance.

These people did not greet each other, but looked at each other with vigilant eyes.

Lu Menglin quickly noticed a detail. These miners seemed to be in groups of three at most, some in groups of two, and there were many people like him who were fighting alone and had no intention of teaming up with others.

This is why as long as you wear a miner's uniform, no one cares whether you can enter the hole or not.

Although Lu Menglin had never been into a mine before, he had read some articles about the life of miners on the Internet and knew that miners needed to have a certain number of people to go down the mine, and they also needed to receive professional mining equipment, at least a headlamp and the like.

Bar!

And there are tools. If you go into the mine without tools, do these people have to dig with their bare hands?

While hesitating, someone shouted loudly at the entrance of the mine: "Are you all here? We are going to send thirty people down today. Is that enough? If you have enough, we will go down."

The person speaking was wearing blue overalls, which looked cleaner than those wearing black miners' uniforms gathered at the entrance of the cave. He was probably an administrator or something like that.

Standing next to this person was a man in bright orange work clothes, about thirty years old, with cold eyes, a mustache, and his hands behind his back. He looked like a manager.

"Does anyone dare to go down to the third floor?" the man with a mustache suddenly shouted.

There was a slight commotion among the miners at the entrance of the cave. Almost everyone was looking around, trying to see if there was anyone who dared to go down to the third floor at the risk of their own lives.

Lu Menglin mingled among the crowd and remained silent.

He doesn't even know how many layers there are in this mineral seam, so naturally he won't be such a standout.

"Me! I, Hu Tianbiao, am going down to the third floor today!" Finally, a brave warrior raised his arms and shouted.

This man named Hu Tianbiao roared so loudly that everyone turned their eyes to him.

This Hu Tianbiao looked very majestic. He suddenly punched his chest with two fists, making a loud bang.

"I practice Bajiquan. I can beat a tiger to death! Can't I get down to the third floor?" Hu Tianbiao shouted loudly.

"Okay! Sure enough, he is a real man! Come on, drink this bowl of soup! I wish you victory and return with a full load!" The man with the mustache nodded, reached out and scooped a ladle of soup from the wooden barrel next to him, and handed it to

Hu Tianbiao.

When Hu Tianbiao took the bowl of soup, the eyes of most of the miners present lit up, and many people's throats purred unconsciously, as if the bowl of soup was a delicacy in the world.

"Who else wants to go down to the third floor? I still have a few bowls of soup in this bucket. Only real men can drink it!" Seeing Hu Tianbiao finish the soup, the eight-character man nodded, and even reached out and gently put his hand on the man's shoulder.

I patted him to show encouragement.

However, after he asked this question, all the miners present lowered their heads consciously and no longer dared to think anything wrong about the soup in the barrel.

After Hu Tianbiao finished drinking the soup, he burped and his face suddenly turned red, as if he was full of endless energy.

Immediately, the man separated from the crowd and strode toward the mine.

The other miners cheered loudly and followed Hu Tianbiao, rushing toward the mine.

Lu Menglin followed the group of miners unhurriedly and poured into the mine.

The space in the mine is much larger than expected. With a floor height of more than ten meters, the entire mountain is like a palace of giants. When you are in it, you can't help but feel insignificant.

More than thirty miners came in, like a handful of rice thrown into a water tank, and the number was almost negligible.

Lu Menglin saw the miners walking to the center of the hall to get their equipment. In fact, the equipment only meant that each person had a shovel, a headlamp, and a canvas bag. It was extremely rudimentary.

In the blink of an eye, everyone grabbed all the equipment and walked towards the front of the hall.

Lu Menglin also grabbed a shovel, put on a headlamp, and hung the canvas bag on his waist.

He had been paying attention to Hu Tianbiao, but he found that the man did not hold a shovel, but just carried a bag and walked very fast, as if he was in a hurry.

Wherever Hu Tianbiao went, other miners kept away, as if they were unwilling to provoke him.

Right in front of the main hall is a huge inclined shaft. There are many single-person cable cars on the shaft. It is like a curved iron rod with a place for stepping on the feet below. There is a simple seat in the middle. The entire rod is fixed on the stone wall.

On the railroad tracks above.

Seeing the miners hugging the iron rod one by one and being slowly sent down the inclined shaft like a tram, Lu Menglin found it quite interesting. This kind of single-person mine car seemed to be something he had seen in books.

That kind of monkey car, don’t you see everyone squatting on it, looking like monkeys?

Lu Menglin also followed suit, found a monkey cart and slid along the rails into the inclined shaft.

Unexpectedly, this slide took a full ten minutes. Although gas lamps were installed on the stone walls on both sides of the track, emitting a faint white light, Lu Menglin knew that this mine was really deep. According to this

After ten minutes of skating at high speed, we were already at least two thousand meters above the ground.

When you think about it, it's incredible that these people are willing to drill so deep into the ground in order to mine.

Because when he came down just now, Lu Menglin observed carefully and found that among the thirty miners, there were many kung fu masters. They were all powerful and energetic, and they were definitely not ordinary miners.

What's underneath this mine? Is this the source of the secret medicine?

With these questions in mind, Lu Menglin finally landed safely after a "dong" sound.

Two thousand meters underground, there is still a huge space in front of you. A mine of more than 30 meters lies in front of you. Hundreds of miners are sweating profusely on the mountain, waving shovels desperately to dig holes.

At the foot of the giant mine, there are piles of ore piled up. This kind of ore is so shiny that it shines like stars under the light, which is actually very dazzling.

Lu Menglin's heart moved slightly, thinking that the large amount of crystal ore could be the raw material of the secret medicine?

If you look closely, some of the miners will pour the mineral crystals in their pockets onto a large scale to weigh them, and then someone will pour the mineral crystals together. The miner who took out the mineral crystals will get a few chips in exchange for them, and they will be covered with chips.

We walked tiredly towards the monkey car, ready to wait for the time to return to the ground together.

The thirty new miners who arrived took over the positions of the miners who were about to leave, climbed into the mine, dug holes everywhere, and used luck-like methods to find mineral crystals.

Soon someone noticed that someone was just looking around and did not start mining.

"Hey! What are you doing? You're not mining yet! Are you new here?" A strong man wearing a blue miner's uniform shouted to Lu Menglin.

Lu Menglin smiled and dug around on the ground twice.

At this time, an old man with a dark face next to him raised his head and grinned at Lu Menglin, showing his big white teeth.

"Boy, new here? Don't you know the rules here?" The old man put down his shovel and rubbed his waist.

Lu Menglin nodded and smiled at the old man.

The old man pondered for a moment and whispered: "There is no food and water in this mine. If you feel like you can't hold on anymore, you have to go back to the ground. But if you can't dig enough white crystal sand in the mine,

Once you go up there, you won’t be able to change food and water, and you will still starve to death.”

"What is white crystal ore? Is it the kind of thing over there? How do you dig it?" Lu Menglin asked softly.

The old man nodded and said, "That's right! This kind of white crystal ore is hidden in the cracks of the mine. If you are lucky, you can get it as big as half a fist. If you are not lucky, you may only get the size of a fingernail after digging for a long time."

"How much does it cost to exchange for food and water? When I came down, I saw them eating porridge and soup. Are they also exchanged for stones?" Lu Menglin thought for a while and asked.

The old man was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "You really don't know anything?"

"Well, I was brought in halfway and didn't know anything." Lu Menglin nodded.

Suddenly, an imperceptible surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, and he said quickly: "Hello newcomers, newcomers generally have better luck! Come down here, before you die of hunger and thirst, you must dig at least two kilograms of ore, otherwise you will be finished.

."

"Two pounds?" Lu Menglin frowned and said in a deep voice.

He glanced around and found that the miners around him had been digging for a long time, but most of them found nothing. Some of the holes were several meters deep, and people jumped into them without jumping in. There was still no ore.

It takes two kilograms of ore to have food, which is really difficult unless you are lucky.

"Yes! At least two kilograms! But I have a method that allows you to easily dig up two kilograms, or even more. Once you get up there, let alone food, you can even get women." The old man winked.

He blinked his eyes and pretended to be profound.

Lu Menglin was amused. He was neither a relative nor an acquaintance. This old man was so warm and friendly that he really thought he was a child.

To be courteous for nothing is to be either a traitor or a thief! What's more, this ghost place is a dangerous place where even Tuoba E was maimed after only staying for half a year. Lu Menglin didn't believe in the existence of the so-called kind-hearted old man.

"Actually, the method is very simple, but I can't help you in vain. I want half of your income, are you willing?" The old man lowered his voice.

Lu Menglin shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "No, I'll just walk around first!"

After that, Lu Menglin walked away. The old man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him from behind, but he didn't get angry easily.
Chapter completed!
