Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The Missing Miner

"There is no small problem in matters related to human life. If you want to live, you must see people and die, and you must see corpses. Summarize the experience of accidents. In the mine, no matter what the problem is, you can't fool it with vague words. In the future, you must do a good job in the training of miners. Work, use animal skins to draw a mine road map, or make some obvious wayfinding signs, it is necessary for the miners to confirm their location more clearly..."

"My lord, I understand. I will start preparing immediately when I go back today."

Staring at the man in front of him who was extremely respectful to him, Lester nodded,

Billister, a Mombian, is very capable. He knows how to count and has the way to control his subordinates. It is perfect for controlling the mines in the Shimmering Silver Mountains.

Ten minutes later, after passing through several forks, the terrain extended downwards and suddenly became a bit steep. There were many hollows and bottomless pits on the ground.

Compared with the previous mine, there are obviously fewer supporting beams here. At this moment, more than a dozen construction craftsmen are moving several new wooden beams to stand on the ground, and they are connected to the cave with broken rock nails and lime mud. with cave roof.

"My lord, this is the mine of the third branch. We developed it the day before yesterday. It is currently in the reinforcement stage. Now the miners are working in the previous mine. I don't know why Gut came here alone...

Hello! Joey! How is the work done here? "

Hearing the sound, a bearded man in wear-resistant rough linen work clothes straightened up, looked back around, trotted to the front of the three, took off his miner's hat and saluted.

"My lord and his wife Ankang...

Lord Billister, the terrain here is extremely complicated, with many corridors, and many pits and hollows, which are extremely dangerous.

In addition to the eight wooden beams and three stone pillars that need to be laid down, the hole in the ground needs to be filled with lime mud, and the third wooden beam is currently being laid down..."

Hearing this gray-faced, middle-aged bearded man address himself as the lord's wife, Margaret twitched a little in a rare way, and glanced quietly at Lester in front of her. After finding that Lester did not deny it, It seemed that he had thought of something, his face was as red as a steamed lobster, but fortunately, the depths of the mine were too dark, so no one saw this.

"Is there no news from Rupert and the others?"

"Reporting to my lord, no one from Foreman Rupert's search party has returned."

Frowning, Billister sensed something was wrong.

"Didn't they go in in the morning? No one has come out yet? Didn't I tell him to send someone out every once in a while to report safety? What did he take my words for? Didn't he hear it!?"

"Come on, Billister, getting angry doesn't solve anything."

"I'm sorry, my lord, I lost my composure. I just thought that I had clearly told Rupert, but he still made his own decisions. I'm really angry..."

After waving his hand to indicate that Billister, who was apologetic, didn't need to pay attention, Lester looked at Joey, the builder.

"You mean, the people from the search team went deeper into the mine from here, and they haven't come back yet?"

Turning to look at Leicester, craftsman Joey nodded and explained.

"Master Billister is right. Rupert should send someone up to report that one is safe. There should be five people in the search team, and there shouldn't be any one left..."

He took out a well-made brass hourglass tipping bucket from the animal skin pocket, and with the light of the flame, Joey squinted his eyes to confirm the time.

"It's almost noon now, my lord, even if you can't find Gut, according to the usual habits, Rupert should come out for lunch..."

"Take me to the entrance of the mine on the next floor."

"Okay, please follow me, be sure to pay attention to the hollow under your feet."

Picking up a torch from the rock wall, in order to prevent Lester from misunderstanding that he made a mistake, Joey explained.

"There is no coal or other fuel minerals in this layer, so there is no need to worry about open flames."

"I understand, you lead the way."

"yes."

Following behind Leicester and the others, as if she had really become a "lord's wife", Margaret no longer had a sullen face, and carefully experienced a novel feeling that she had never had before.

Carefully stepping over a few small pits that were not too conspicuous, followed the crowd for tens of meters, and came to a corner.

Margaret set her sights on the entrance of a dark cave that went down vertically, and with the light of the torch in Joey's hand, the girl looked down.

Under the black cave, there are intermittent rock formations that are as tall as an adult, and they are no longer the previous continuous rock slopes. That is to say, going down from this layer requires considerable climbing ability. It's just that such a change is a bit too abrupt.

From a sudden look, these square stones seem to have been deliberately dug with tools.

The black cave that swallowed the flames looked a little lonely and eerie, and it was impossible to see anything further down, it was pitch black.

"We didn't find this place before. It was originally blocked by a big rock. It wasn't until the round boulder collapsed the loose rocks nearby due to its own weight that it rolled down by itself, exposing the hole. .”

"Have you organized people to go down and look at it?"

"My lord, it wasn't long before we discovered the entrance of this cave, and we haven't organized people to go down to check it. This time, it was because of Gut's disappearance that Foreman Rupert led the search team down to find people."

Having said that, he was afraid that his lord would decide to go on an adventure as soon as he slapped his head, Joey quickly added.

"My lord, let's not go down now, not to mention that the road is not easy to walk, the most important thing is that we lack the necessary tools, including rock climbing ropes, miners' rock climbing claw shoes or fully enclosed oil lamps... without these tools It will be dangerous if we go down."

Nodding his head, before Lester could say anything, there was a hissing and lung-piercing scream from the lower floor of the black cave, followed by the scalp-numbing sound of footsteps, and countless rats. A sort of 'squeak' sound, the horrible sound is getting louder and louder.

"It's Rupert!! He's down there! How are you, Rupert!?"

Grabbing the craftsman Joey who was trying to persuade him not to go down just now, Lester glanced at the pale-faced Billister and the calm-faced Margaret, grabbed Joey's torch, and threw it straight down. go.

The torch tumbled and fell on intermittent rock platforms, and fell to the deepest point. Lester took a closer look and estimated the depth to be more than 20 meters.

Less than two seconds after landing, the cotton torch wrapped in animal fat and vegetable oil began to burn violently, and then a staggering man screamed and approached the torch, crazily climbing towards the steep rocky platform.
