I Can Recognize Everything, But the Information is Wrong-Chapter 6 - : Mine Slave (Please follow and bookmark)

Hearing the plea from the person behind him, Tian Lin exchanged a glance with the boss Zhang, and decided not to speak any further.

The team marched on silently for several miles, and it gradually became dark.

On the official road, only the reprimands of the black-clad men and the 'clatter clatter clatter' of horseshoes could be heard.

Soon after rounding a mountain, passing by a river, everyone saw a glow of firelight in the distance.

"Old Zhou, quickly open the gate!"

The black-robed elder leading the way shouted, and then galloped across the river.

The black-clad men maintaining order raised their whips and lashed them on the bodies of the Huahua Langs like herding sheep: "Move it, move it, damn it, haven't eaten yet?"

Hearing about food, Tian Lin subconsciously touched his stomach but also quickened his pace, wading through the river to the other side.

It wasn't until they approached the fire on the other side that they realized it was a stockade set up along a valley.

At the mouth of the valley were wooden fences, and there were several chevaux de frise placed at the entrance.

"Manager Xu, how many people have you brought this time?"

The person guarding the fence, wearing iron armor found from somewhere, walked vigorously to the side of the black-robed elder.

The black-robed elder said from atop his horse: "This time it's just over five hundred people; should be enough for half a year's use. How about it, have the positions in the mining field been arranged?"

"Everything's been arranged, and the porridge for tonight is also prepared."

As the armored soldier spoke with the black-robed elder, several black-clothed men continued to whip and drive the Huahua Langs into the valley.

"What are you all dawdling for? Eat first, there's work to be done early tomorrow morning!"

Someone already regretted it, thus pleading: "Please, boss, let me go, I don't want to mine anymore."

But the response was the sound of drawing swords and the lightning-like flash of blades.

The black-clothed men who killed drove their horses over the corpses, then turned to address the remaining Huahua Langs: "You agreed to the terms, and now you want to back out? You think my merchant fortress's mining field is a cesspit you can enter or leave whenever you want?"

If at first, they were angry but dared not speak out, after another person died, the remaining Huahua Langs didn't even dare to feel anger.

Boss Zhang tugged at Tian Lin's sleeve and whispered among the crowd with a smile: "See, what did I tell you? This merchant fortress never intended to pass on the Immortal Technique, right?"

Tian Lin continued to follow the people ahead while asking him: "You can still laugh at a time like this? Aren't you afraid of our situation?"

"Afraid?"

Boss Zhang said: "Seeking immortality is never without hardship and danger. Working for the merchant fortress, as long as you work diligently, you won't necessarily lose your life."

He continued: "I've been to too many places and know what this world is like. So-called fate with immortality is still a matter of Silver Taels; those high officials and nobles can use Silver Taels to pave their way, people like us, we can only grasp opportunities to earn our lives."

He declared: "The merchant fortress is where I'll earn my fate with immortality with my life."

Just as he spoke with great enthusiasm, he immediately shut up and shrank his neck, looking like a quail.

Tian Lin glanced around and realized that Manager Xu, who had been chatting with the armored soldier before, had already walked over, and he told several black-clothed men: "It's too late tonight, let them sleep in the wooden house first, and they can eat tomorrow."

Someone couldn't bear the hunger any longer and blurted out: "Manager Xu—Manager Xu? I haven't eaten for two days; can I have a bowl of porridge?"

"Get into the wooden house to sleep, what porridge do you want?"

While the black-clad man kicked out over there, here Manager Xu said: "It's okay to go hungry for two days, one more day won't make a difference. Alright, everyone go to sleep early."

"I fucking slept with his mother or what!"

As soon as they entered the wooden hut, someone cursed:

"Damned thing, bragging about how the merchant's fort had a partnership with the Yao Yue Sect before we came, said there would be food for work, and even a chance to practice cultivation. Now that they've lured us here, they won't even spare a bowl of porridge."

After cursing, a man lying in the hut sat up and said, "Manager Xu wasn't exactly wrong, the merchant's fort does have a partnership with the Yao Yue Sect, and by staying here we might really be able to cultivate; his refusal to give porridge is purely because he wants to line his own pockets."

The newcomers all looked at the man who was originally lying down, listening as he said:

"I came six months before you, so I know a bit about the mines. This Manager Xu, just like us, was a mine slave once, but after currying favor with the merchants, he became a manager and started cultivating immortal techniques."

While that man was talking, Lao Da Zhang dragged Tian Lin to a corner of the large bunk.

The hut was noisy, with two large bunks running from the south wall to the north, the smell of sweat and feet mingling haphazardly everywhere.

"How about it, didn't I tell you? Just by staying here, you'll have a chance to cultivate, right?"

Tian Lin followed Lao Da Zhang and took over a corner of the large bunk, neither willing to leave the bed and give their spot away no matter how sleepy or not they were.

"This chance for cultivation seems very slim. They say we need to curry favor with the merchant, but when does the merchant ever come to the mines? And where is there any opportunity for us to curry their favor?"

At that moment, the man on the other side spoke again: "That's why, everyone, you have to work hard. As long as you work diligently, the managers will report your name to the merchant master, then you'll have a chance to see the master."

That man was surrounded by many 'newcomers', but Tian Lin and Lao Da Zhang didn't join them.

Tian Lin turned his head and asked Lao Da Zhang, "What do you think? How much truth is there in what that guy said?"

Lao Da Zhang took off his clothes to use as a pillow on the bed. Hearing Tian Lin's question, he chuckled:

"I inquired before coming to the merchant's fort, and what that man said was all true. However, there's one point, for ordinary people working here, not being scolded is already good enough. To get the favor of the managers, do you have the skill?"

While they were talking, a banging noise started from outside.

Just then a voice in black clothes outside said, "What's all the noise for? Go to sleep early and save some energy for breaking rocks tomorrow."

The people didn't dare to say more and climbed onto the large bunk.

But with people packed so closely together, with the smell of sweaty bodies, nobody could fall asleep easily.

Tian Lin touched the straw mat, feeling it damp and sticky like it was soaked with sweat.

Lao Da Zhang taunted Tian Lin, "You've been a Huahua Lang for a few years now, can't you even handle this?"

Tian Lin slapped a flea dead on his hand, unable to help saying, "If you stay here for long, you're likely to get sick."

"This is the way the world is, if you don't want to sleep with fleas, then you have to seek immortality," said Lao Da Zhang with a sigh.

"We're not necessarily seeking to become gods; we're just seeking an opportunity to change our fates."

Tian Lin didn't reply, just padded his own filthy clothes and tried to close his eyes.

Most of the people couldn't sleep that night, filled with unease about the life ahead.

Tian Lin didn't know what Lao Da Zhang was thinking, but he knew that since Lao Da Zhang came to the merchant's fort voluntarily, he must certainly have a plan to obtain immortal techniques.

Tian Lin didn't know what Lao Da Zhang's plan was, but he had also set his sights on one thing, and that was to keep an eye on Lao Da Zhang at all times.

First, get a method to practice martial arts from Lao Da Zhang, because Lao Da Zhang had martial arts skills.

Then, find a way to obtain immortal techniques from Lao Da Zhang—

Lao Da Zhang was right about one thing; for ordinary people wanting to change their fate, then cultivate!
