Cosma Empire

You know that the key to open the door of hope is in your hands, but you still have to curl up in a corner in a dark room, using infinite thinking to imagine how complicated and contradictory your mood is at the moment when you welcome the light ?

At least this is the case for the slaves in the mining area. People outside have sent them at least fifty pistols and sufficient bullets through various methods intermittently. can not do. They clearly hold the key, but they still live in despair—oh, no! At least they are more optimistic than before, because they are about to usher in real freedom.

I don't know why, but since the day before yesterday, the security of Brewer's Bay has become much stricter. Those members of the mine guard team who usually hide in the house to keep warm have put on windproof clothing and ran out of the room, holding guns in high places. Constant patrolling, even if the slaves gather together, as long as there are a little more people, they will be dispersed by the mine guard team, which was impossible before.

The Brewer Bay mining area is located in a canyon. The natural geographical advantages allow it to form a natural fortress without large-scale construction. In order to prevent horse bandits from climbing in from the bare mountains on both sides of the canyon, the camp in Brewer Bay An iron grid was also laid over the sky, and electricity was connected. If you want to come in from the outside, you can't touch the inside of the camp unless you go through the gate or cut the live iron net. These defensive measures separate the inside of the camp and the outside of the camp into two worlds.

There is no doubt about the safety here. All gold mines are always the most eye-catching things for horse bandits and robbers, but this place has never been attacked by anyone. It's not that no one wants the gold mines here, it's just that they don't even have the chance to enter the camp without paying a high price.

Money is only money when it can be spent. If you die, then everything loses its value.

It was just dawn, and the horn sounded to get up in the camp. Every morning at 6:30, the horn would sound on time. The slaves had to enter the mine to work after a fifteen-minute meal, and the work would last until one o'clock at noon. During this process, there would be two breaks, one for thirty minutes and one for fifteen minutes.

Not all mine owners are desperately squeezing the labor of the slaves. According to some so-called professionals, a short break can improve the work enthusiasm and efficiency of the slaves, but in the final analysis, the slaves are still very bitter. All The measures are all just to squeeze their surplus value to a greater extent.

Some young and strong slaves began to move the dung buckets after a quick meal. This was their job. When the gate of the camp opened and more than forty horse-drawn carts drove in at the same time, the slaves carrying the dung buckets all lost their minds for a short while.

Although the consumption of the camp is large, it is definitely not so large that so many horse-drawn carriages are needed to deliver goods together. Did something happen recently, and will it affect their plans?

"Why are there so many carriages today?" The captain of the mine protection team walked to the side of a carriage. He took out his dagger and opened the canvas covering the carriage body, revealing the stacked sackcloth inside. He glanced at the other carriages, turned the dagger in his hand, and stabbed into one of the largest sacks. Suddenly, a large amount of wheat kernels gushed out from the opening, and he used the tip of the dagger to pick up the split opening and force slightly upwards, preventing the wheat kernels from continuing to flow out.

"Check all the carriages. If the situation is wrong, shoot immediately." The captain of the mine guard team is very nervous, and it is impossible not to be tense. Now assassination activities are being carried out everywhere in the west, and there is a group of slaves and gold diggers. The Freedom Front organization is moving around, and they will check everything that enters the camp very carefully. Under his orders, the members of the mine protection team started to check all the goods with iron rods, but did not find any abnormalities.

At this time, the young man in charge said with a smile: "You should know that it is very chaotic outside now, and we are also taking great risks in delivering goods.

So starting today, we will only deliver goods twice a week, once for three days, and once for four days. I hope you can talk to the gentleman above. It's not that we don't want to deliver every day, it's because the situation outside is too dangerous. "

The words of the young team leader made the captain of the mine protection team nod slightly, gaining his approval. Everyone knows what's going on outside. If it weren't for the fear of those lunatics suddenly attacking Brewer Bay, the situation in the camp would not be as tense as it is now. He casually raised his hand to accept the cigarette handed over by the young team leader, and the two got together and began to puff. Because there were too many things sent this time, and these carriages blocked the passage in the camp, the captain of the mine guard team let the slaves also participate in the transportation.

Turat's nephew also appeared when the payment was settled. After a little understanding of why he had to pay three supplies at a time, he couldn't help asking: "Is it chaotic outside now? Then I can't out?"

This sentence is actually a white question, how could he not know the situation outside, just hope that these young people who deliver the goods can give him a little bit better news, at least give him a little hope. Although he seldom leaves the mining area, he does go out three or four times a month to have some fun in nearby cities. Compared to being in this damn lifeless camp, even if the nearby cities and towns are not much different, it is enough for him to enjoy the long-lost joy.

"Well, next time you come here, bring two..." He glanced at the captain of the mine guard team, "No, bring twenty girls over, the price will be doubled, and wait here until the next replenishment Leaving with you again. Some cards and things to play with, you know what I mean?"

The young leader nodded and repeated, "I see, sir. Woman, props for the game, do you still need tape?"

"And the tape? Yes, if you have a complete set, you'd better bring me a few sets. Since there is tape, there must be a player too? Get a few too!"

Turat's nephew did not show any outstanding abilities in the eyes of the elders, but this kid has one advantage, that is, he knows how to be in awe. This may have something to do with the fact that he was beaten more often when he was a child. He will not be like some crazy heirs who keep their eyes on the sky, knowing that the outside is full of dangers and insist on leaving. Maybe it is just to go to a nearby city to solve the "expansion" The problem. He did a good job in this. He may not be able to open up new territory for the family business, but it is good to be able to hold on to what he has now.

He took out a five-dollar bill from his pocket, stuffed it into the brim of the team leader's hat, and patted him on the shoulder, "You are good, I will talk to the manager of your firm and ask him to give you a raise." .”

"Thank you very much!"

After the convoy left, the captain of the mine protection team stood on the high wall and looked at the convoy going away. He always felt that something was wrong in his heart, but no matter how he recalled and thought, he couldn't find anything wrong when he fell to the ground. In the end, he attributed this idea to cranky thinking caused by being too nervous.

At his feet, the two slaves withdrew their gazes, looked at each other, and silently returned to the slave camp under the supervision of the mine guard team.

three days left!

Three days later, the light will shine into the deep mine, igniting everyone's hope and welcoming a bright future!

Three days later, the supply convoy appeared again. This time the supply convoy was larger than last time, with more than sixty carriages. The goods for this supply will be used to maintain the camp for four days, and they also brought some things that Turat's nephew requested, such as girls, and small toys that can pass the time.

Twenty girls wearing cloaks sat alone on two carriages with their heads lowered. The hoods of the cloaks completely hid their heads, making it impossible to see what they looked like. The eyes of the mine guards on the high wall turned green. Turat had already told them that twenty girls would be prepared for them this time, within four days! This made all the members of the mine protection team want to growl, and looked forward to today's arrival.

Seeing the trembling pieces of "fat meat" in front of them, the emotions of some team members have undergone subtle changes. The captain of the mine protection team sternly reprimanded them a few times, asking them to carefully check every item on every carriage. goods, but most people seemed a little absent-minded. Their attention was attracted by the girls in the middle of the horse, especially a girl who suddenly took off her hat and raised her head. That beautiful silhouette caused many members of the mine guard team to stop their work and gobbled it up. I took a sip of saliva.

The person next to the girl tugged at her sleeves, she smiled and put the hood back on, covering her face with a burst of neat sighs.

But soon the members of the mine protection team cheered up again, maybe it will be their turn?

It's this girl, even if it's worth exchanging cigarettes with someone else!

The inspection work was carried out very quickly under the high mood, and a carriage quickly passed the inspection and entered the camp. Although the captain of the mine protection team was a little worried, he turned a blind eye when he thought that he had cooperated with the other party's trading company for several years without any incidents, and that the group of boys under the opponent were also clear about their thoughts. , Pretending not to see these lazy people.

"Let the slaves come and carry things!"

A strange gleam flashed in the eyes of the team leader, but it quickly went out again. He took out a match and lit a cigarette for the captain of the mine protection team beside him, and shook it vigorously. Then he held the match in his hand and put it in his pocket, but he didn't take the hand out again.
