Chapter 314: 313. Mine Camp
Chapter 314 313. Mine Camp
It has been more than a month since the establishment of the sulfur mine camp. It has grown from two tents at the beginning to eight tents today. There are special tool racks and material piles, and special personnel are responsible for providing food. Life in the camp I don’t know how much better the conditions are than before, but the environment here is still full of volcanic ash, and there are always new rivers of lava forming between the mountain walls. Fortunately, the process of forming rivers of lava is very slow, so everyone is not worried. Upon waking up, the camp was no longer in such a dire situation.
The environment in the camp is very difficult, and the most difficult thing is the draft. There is no good way to solve it. The horse transport team did not bring water from Wall Village. The villagers here almost rely on the scrolls of water gathering. Taking a bath here is simply a luxury, but there is no need to start a fire to cook here. There are dark rivers of lava everywhere here. As long as the volcanic ash is smashed and the hot rock formations are smashed, the iron pot can be directly placed on it.
The sulfur mines mined were put into linen bags by craftsmen and neatly piled up next to the boulders.
There is a stable next to the tent. The Gubolai horses here also wear masks that can filter the volcanic ash. The stable is surrounded by thick gauze and the roof is made of rawhide. Usually there is only one simple stable. The role is to isolate the volcanic ash from the outside world.
The villagers in Wall Village don’t know about pneumoconiosis. The specific affairs here are in charge of Charlie and Luke. Therefore, before that, Suldak repeatedly told them that they must ask the villagers to get out of their tents Wear a mask, have a dust-proof curtain at the entrance of the tent, and have a blanket and straw mat inside the tent. It seems that Charlie and Luke have done a good job in this regard.
Charlie came over and gave Suldak a big hug. He has been stationed in the mining area for nearly a month, and he has become dark and thin, and his whole body seems to have transformed. He said to Suldak with a smile : "If you don't show up again, Luke and I will take someone out to look for you, and suddenly disappeared for three days without a sound. It's really going to kill me."
Suldak could only touch his nose, and replied: "I walked around the pustule mountain. There is a dead area around this mountain. Even the most drought-tolerant seabuckthorn and thirsty grass can't survive. Walk out You can't see anything alive for a long distance, except for the sky full of volcanic ash... there is nothing here."
Charlie laughed and said, "This is a barren land, what else do you expect?"
Suldak glanced at the river of lava on the mountain, and asked Charlie, "Where are those two big guys?"
Charlie turned around and pointed to the side of the rocky area near the pustule mountain, and said with his finger: "It's still on the side of the rocky area. We have almost cleaned up the sulfur mines here, so they won't come Come here, but recently they may have discovered that we are robbing sulfur mines with them, and they are full of hostility towards us."
Luke stood beside Charlie, and interjected, "It's good that you're here, everyone expects you to get rid of these two big guys, I heard that this kind of behemoth can be sold for a lot of money in Hailansa? "
"A fire-attributed second-level monster, and it's also a monitor lizard. Whether it's leather or fresh meat, it's very popular in the market." After Suldak finished speaking, he remembered the Francis he met in the underground trading market back then. In the words of the magician, "If you don't eat it, remember to keep the heart and stomach sac next time. These two materials are also very valuable." '
Seeing what Suldak said, Charlie began to stamp his feet and beat his chest and screamed bitterly: "Until now, I have been regretting how I believed you when I returned, and took everyone to eat such an expensive meal. Salamander meat, it would have been better if I had known that it would all be transported to Hailansa City and sold!"
Suldak smiled and said, "I've already eaten it in my stomach. What's the use of talking about it now? If the hunt is successful this time, I'll take away the fresh meat and leather. If there is no magic bone, these bone sticks will be kept." Make soup for you, this thing is a great tonic..."
Everyone hurriedly set up Suldak's camp, and then went to have dinner. After a hard day, what these villagers needed most was to drink a bowl of fat-rich broth and bake crispy wheat cakes. Break it into pieces and put it in hot soup, it is extremely delicious.
Selena didn't participate in the discussion here, and got into Suldak's tent alone.
For a long time, Selena has been an ominous woman in Wall Village. Everyone thinks that anyone who gets close to Selina will have bad luck. She is almost completely isolated by the villagers of Wall Village.
Selena is so beautiful, the women in the village are a little jealous, and seeing the eyes of their own men looking at Selina, they can't wait to stare into the flesh, and the behavior of the men is even more so that the village women don't want to see Sai Lina, after Selena became a widow, the idlers in the village would inevitably try to take advantage of it. When those village women met Selena in the village, they couldn't help but spit in her face.
The craftsmen here in the camp have been away from home for more than a week. There are usually no women in the camp. When I saw Selena, who was wearing a linen dress and showing a big snow-white leg, all of them were absent-minded. The broth was poured in from the nose, these men were dominated by the instinct of the body, at this time, there was no question of whether they were women from Suldak.
When the first snow falls on Mount Pagros, the sulfur mine will stop working, and the villagers will return to Wall Village for the winter.
Suldak told Charlie and Luke that after a few days, he would go to the Knight Academy in Hailansa City for about half a year. Charlie would take care of the affairs of the sulfur mine, and Luke would act as Charlie's assistant. Deputy, if you need any supplies, you can send someone to deliver a letter to him, and then you can purchase them in Hailansa City.
In the evening, Suldak returned to the tent. It was a rare opportunity to be alone with Selena. Selena was sitting in the tent, staring blankly at the blazing flames and billowing smoke on the top of the pustule mountain. Suldak Get into the tent and stick it up from Selena's back. She has a good smell of soap locust on her body. With his arms around her slender waist, Suldak put his head on her slippery shoulder and asked softly : "Thinking about Signa? Worried she won't have dinner?"
Selena nodded slightly, and said: "As long as Uncle Brett is around in Wall Village, Signa will definitely not be hungry, but she has never left me since she was a child, and I don't know if she can sleep at night , She is usually timid and always likes to hide under my skirt."
Suldak recalled the first time he saw Signa, he was really hiding under Selena's skirt, his eyes full of aura blinking in the night.
Selena hugged Suldak with her backhand, and her beautiful green eyes became hot in the darkness...
The next day, Charlie took Surdak to see the two salamanders who were still gnawing on the sulfur mine in the rocky area.
