Master Tongtian

Chapter 77 Miners’ Secrets

In the maze forest, the three of them walked along the rugged mountain road, step by step.

Perhaps because he was out of the depressive atmosphere in Yuehui Town, or perhaps because of the lubrication of the gold coins, the middle-aged man began to become talkative.

His name is Holm, a miner for generations. Once he started talking, he never stopped.

"Actually, Maze Mountain and all that are just to scare outsiders like you. We have lived in this land for generations, how could we leave such a large forest untouched?"

"In the dead of winter, we go into the forest to collect dead branches for firewood. When some families' children grow up, they go into the forest to cut down trees to build new houses."

"Or hunters go into the mountains to hunt. There are rabbits, mountain rats, chickens, even moose, wild boars, moon bears, everything."

"Although good meat must be given to the lord, it is also delicious to stew it in a pot with various tendons, big bones, and offal."

"Oh, by the way, when there is abundant rain in spring and summer, there will be many mushrooms growing in the woods."

"Most mushrooms are non-toxic. Wash them and put them in a jar. Add a few meat bones and potatoes. Then add water and some salt. Boil over a warm fire to make a thick pot of soup. Take a sip. That taste, tsk tsk tsk, is simply more enjoyable than playing mother-in-law!"

Chabollet agreed with the first part, but he had a different opinion on the last sentence.

"You fart, is there anything in the world that is more pleasurable than being a bitch?"

As soon as Rosen heard this and saw the disapproving expression of miner Holm, he knew that a mountain debate competition was about to begin.

Sure enough, Holm burst into laughter and said, "Sir, there are many more enjoyable things in this world than being a bitch."

Xia Bolay grinned: "Would you like to tell me about it?"

"After three days of constipation, eat a bowl of black crotons to let off steam, or drink a bowl of thick broth in the snow."

"Or, after working in a dark and damp mine for a week, and my whole body is hard and painful, during the Moon Worship Festival, I lie down on a dry bed and have a good sleep."

"These are more enjoyable than being a bitch."

Chabolai obviously has not experienced these hardships, but he has also wandered outside and knows the pain of life in the wild, as well as the relief of suddenly finding comfort after experiencing pain.

However, he still thinks that this kind of pleasure is better than playing a bitch.

He chuckled and said: "Holm, what you said is indeed very refreshing, but it is still far from enough."

"Your Yuehui Town is too poor, the women don't have enough to eat, and everyone looks dry. Of course it's not fun to play, but if it's a beautiful girl, it's completely different!"

Home is a person who has a stubborn temper at first glance. He is the kind of wild man who must win an argument regardless of whether he is justified or not.

He scratched his neck and said, "Master Chabolai, what you said is wrong."

"No matter whether this woman is beautiful, ugly, fat or thin, when you turn on the light at night, you can't see anything in the pitch black, don't they all look the same?"

"Can a city woman have more milk bubbles than a country woman?"

Xia Bolay sneered: "Who told you that you must blow the lamp when you are acting like a bitch?"

Once these words are spoken, it is a dimensionality reduction blow in terms of material conditions.

Holm was stunned for a long time, unable to find any words to refute.

Chabollet also likes to talk quickly.

When he saw that the other party was speechless, he knew that he had the upper hand, and he immediately laughed proudly.

"Let me tell you, those pretty girls are different from the country girls in Yuehui Town."

"That skin looks like butter and feels like satin."

"Her waist is as thin as a bee, and can be grasped with one hand. Let's talk about her face. Her eyes are big and bright. They are moist and exude a hazy moisture, which can seduce the soul."

Although these words are praising the girl, they are also showing off their superiority, and the class conflict suddenly becomes very prominent.

Holm snorted coldly: "Hmph~ Those beautiful women in the city who do nothing all day long and only know how to seduce men, what's the difference between them and prostitutes?"

"If such a woman is brought into the family, she won't be able to help at all with the family affairs, and it will only add to the chaos. She might as well be raising a sheep!"

Xia Bolai was dissatisfied: "Hey~ Just talk about the good points of a mother-in-law. What are you doing with other things?"

Hom didn't say goodbye anymore, he hesitated for a while, and then said: "I also know a kind of pleasure, which is a hundred times more enjoyable than playing a bitch! No, a thousand times!"

"Don't be so tough-talking, but come and listen to me."

At the critical moment, Holm shrank back.

He shook his head repeatedly.

"You are foreigners, I can't talk to you about this."

Rosen's heart moved: 'Is there something hidden? ’

He immediately reached into his wallet and took out a gold crown and handed it over.

"Uncle Holm, there is no one else in this deep mountain and forest. Tell us quietly. If we don't talk nonsense, who else will know?"

Holm looked at the gold coins, greed flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously reached out to take it, but when he reached halfway, fear flashed in his eyes and he retracted his hand.

It seems that the power of money is not enough.

Rosen took out another 2 gold crowns.

"Uncle, you are so mean. We came all the way and we can be considered friends? Can you be sincere to your friends?"

The power of money suddenly doubled, and coupled with the bewitchment of words, Uncle Holm's psychological defense suddenly collapsed. He reached out to take the gold coin as fast as lightning and spoke in a whisper.

"You must first swear, swear to the Golden God, and promise not to tell anyone!"

Xia Bolay was not stupid and realized the problem. He and Rosen looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding.

"The Golden God is above us, we will never spread the word."

After swearing the oath, Holm felt relieved and whispered the town's secret.

"Let me tell you, a few months ago, a wizard came to the town. You can buy a potion from him. It is quite expensive. A bottle costs one silver clay, or you can exchange it for moonstone."

"That potion is amazing. After you drink it, all the pain on your body will disappear. You can also see many fairies dancing around you."

"Those fairies are all wearing very beautiful clothes, and when they dance, they can take away your soul."

Xia Bolay frowned: "Psychedelic potion? This is a poison that is banned from sale by the temple!"

Holm was startled: "Poison? Can't?"

"The Baron also knew about it. At the beginning, he even hosted a banquet for the wizard and sent people to build a wooden building for the wizard in the mountains."

"Besides, many people have drank the potion, and no one has been poisoned to death."

Charbolet was even more surprised: "Is there such a thing? Why has the Baron never mentioned it? No, I have to meet this wizard."

He looked at Holm: "Do you know where the wizard lives?"

Holm shook his head and waved his hands: "I don't know, I don't know~ How could a miner like me know such a thing?"

Rosen immediately said: "How can you buy potions if you don't know where he lives?"

"He goes out of the mountain quietly every few days. Every time he goes out, the Baron will send someone to buy medicine from him. The Baron also buys the most. We little people can only wait to buy the rest of the Baron."

As he spoke, a look of fear appeared on his face again.

"I'm telling you, the Baron strictly prohibits the spread of news about wizards! Several people have been hanged for this matter, so you must not spread this matter!"

"No, no, no, don't worry, Uncle Holm."

Rosen comforted him again and again. Seeing that the other party was still frightened, he said, "Then let's not talk about this. You can continue to lead the way."

Holm immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay~~"

He continued walking in front of him, and as a native of Yuehui Town, he was indeed very familiar with the mountains and forests.

I saw him walking a few hundred meters east and a few hundred meters north. After walking for more than an hour, he came to a depression.

As soon as he arrived here, his eyes widened in surprise.

"It's strange, the camp is obviously here, why is there nothing?"

He was afraid that Xia Bolay would not believe it: "Two gentlemen, I really did not lie to you. Some time ago, there was indeed a hidden camp here."

He trotted to the hollow and rummaged around, trying to find evidence of the camp's existence.

"Why is there nothing? The footprints are gone too!"

"How is it possible? I have lived here for more than half my life. How can I remember it wrong?"

He looked confused and a little worried, probably because he was afraid that Xia Bolai would ask for the money back.

Xia Bolay did feel that he had been cheated. He was about to have an attack, but was stopped by Rosen.

"Uncle, I just took a closer look around. There are indeed traces of human life, but most of the traces have been deliberately erased."

Xia Bolay was shocked: "The last special envoy found the camp and died of drunkenness that night. Now the traces of the camp have been erased. I'm afraid there is something big going on here!"

Rosen nodded in agreement, then raised his voice and shouted to Holm who was not far away.

"Uncle Holm, we believe you. You also took us to the end of the field, and we know the way. You can go back."

When Holm heard this, he was relieved.

"Two gentlemen, I'm going back right away. Because of my son's affairs, my mother-in-law is going crazy. Someone needs to take care of her at home."

"go Go."

Holm disappeared in a flash.

Xia Bolay and Rosen were left in the forest.

Rosen already had a plan in mind.

He picked up some firewood, built a bonfire, grilled the mountain rat meat, and called to Charbolai, who was still observing around.

"Uncle, don't look. I've already found the traces. Let's fill our stomachs first, and then we'll chase him all the way."
