"It's nothing. I just want you guys to help me find a few good stones. I want to make a bet with someone. If I win, you guys will all have your rewards." As he said this, he laughed coldly and said, "If you lose, you will have to suffer."
This mine did not have many spirit crystal books, so it was very difficult to find a stone with spirit crystals in it. Not to mention that they had spent their entire life digging in the mines, they would not dare to find a good stone even if they wanted to.
"What are you thinking, old thing?" A manservant stood up and pulled up the village chief's collar. He glared at him and said, "If I tell you to look for him, then look for him. Hurry up!"
With that, he loosened his grip, and the Village Chief fell to the ground.
"Yes, yes. This old man will go now." The village chief got up from the ground and went to find the elders of the village who were experienced in picking stones.
Hua Ruge, who was halfway up the mountain, saw this scene and frowned: "Why would he beat someone?"
The Devouring Beast said to herself that since you are already like this, you shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Why did he forget about everything else?
Liu Cheng snorted softly: "Isn't it all just relying on force? What is that kid doing before going against the young master? He's a hoodlum."
When Hua Ruge saw the person who took care of herself getting beaten up, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. However, she had forgotten how to beat him and didn't know if she could beat him, so she didn't try to stand up for him.
After that, Hua Ruge heard from Liu Cheng that their boss was very influential, there were only a dozen or so mines, and he had a very high position in the Immortal City.
The boss was surnamed Zheng and this young master was his second son, Zheng Youwei. Hearing this name, one could tell that the old master had high expectations for him, but this person was born with no idea of how to write anything other than good deeds, and would always grind his teeth fiercely.
Hua Ruge only nodded, he did not have any objections.
Very quickly, the village chief gathered a few village elders. The village elders were all trembling with fear in front of Zheng Youwei, afraid that they would offend this unreasonable person.
"Pick one each. Whoever can help this young master win, this young master will reward them handsomely." Zheng Youwei swept his eyes across the few of them and said.
The elders looked at each other.
"What, you don't like your grandpa's reward?" Seeing that no one spoke, Zheng Youwei's face became unfriendly.
"I dare not dare, but I'm afraid that this old man will miss out on your big plans due to my lack of craftsmanship." An old man said.
Zheng Youwei had yet to speak when a servant at the side said: "If I'm going to let you pick me, then pick me.
Under the threat of the attendant, the old man could only nod before heading off to pick ores from the pile of ores.
Hua Ruge was doing his work as per usual and currently, he was carrying his basket down the mountain.
Zheng Youwei sat on the chair and drank tea with his eyes squinted. However, the servant had sharp eyes, and spoke to Zheng Youwei: "Young Master, I saw a girl going over, her looks should not be bad."
Because Hua Ruge's face was covered in ash, he could only take another glance, so he could not see it clearly.
"I say, Li Si, you must be crazy for women. This is a mine, where did these women come from?" Zheng Youwei did not even open his eyes.
"Young Master, there really is a woman. If you don't believe me, I'll bring her here for you to take a look?" Although he didn't see it clearly, he felt that the girl looked pretty good. If he could help the Young Master snatch it back, maybe he could even get some rewards.
Zheng Youwei was too lazy to even open his eyes, he only waved his hand: "Go."
Li Si did not chase after Hua Ruge. He only waited for Hua Ruge to carry the empty basket back and called out to her: "Hey, that girl, come over here."
Hua Ruge turned his head around in a daze and asked: "You called me?"
The moment she turned her head, her face was clearly seen by Li Si. Li Si was stunned for a moment, then spoke to Zheng Youwei incoherently: "Young ? Young Master, you ? "Look ?"
Zheng Youwei frowned impatiently: "What are you going to do if you see a ghost?"
Although he complained, he still opened his eyes and saw Hua Ruge's slightly confused face.
He had seen many beauties before, but this was the first time he had seen such a beauty. This kind of appearance could only be described as shocking to the heavens.
Liu Cheng's heart thumped, he knew that the situation wasn't good.
With Hua Ruge's appearance, he definitely would not be able to escape from this man's sight.
Hua Ruge saw the expressions of the two but he did not notice it. He asked, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes, yes. Come over." Zheng Youwei's voice unconsciously softened.
Hua Ruge walked over and asked: "What's the matter?"
Zheng Youwei quietly swallowed his saliva and asked: "Whose lady are you from, why haven't I seen you before?"
"Why should I tell you?" Hua Ruge frowned, she did not want to talk to the bad guy.
Although Zheng Youwei had been disgraced by her, he was not angry, and wanted Li Si to call for help.
The Village Chief told Liu Cheng to go and reply, and then he said that Hua Ruge was picked up by him, and now she couldn't remember anything, and her mind wasn't working very well.
He had to tell the truth, and almost the whole village knew it.
When Zheng Youwei heard this, he looked at Hua Ruge pitifully: "What a pitiful girl, you shouldn't have been a miner here, come back with me."
"No." Hua Ruge rejected her very straightforwardly.
Zheng Youwei was not anxious, he continued to coax: "Come back with me, you don't have to work everyday, I'll let you eat well and dress properly, and I'll send people to serve you, what do you think?"
"Not much." There were also benefits to having a slow mind, such as the fact that one of his tendons couldn't be damaged by thunder.
"I can give you a better day. As long as you follow me, you will definitely like it." It was rare for Zheng Youwei to be so patient.
In fact, when he met other girls, he would directly snatch them away. However, he felt that it was more important to leave a good impression of Hua Ruge when meeting him.
Hua Ruge shook his head, and said somewhat impatiently: "Are you done speaking, I'm going back to work."
Not only was this person bad, he also had a lot of things to say. He was truly unlikeable.
"You refuse a toast to a forfeit, right?" Seeing how useless it was, Li Si decided to go up and frighten her.
This was the most useful way to deal with these miners.
However, when Hua Ruge saw him approaching, not only did he not become afraid, he said: "Step back, stay away from me."
Zheng Youwei watched on from the side. He also wanted to see what kind of character this lady had, to find out if she had the right medicine to take.
The other villagers were also watching, their hearts were not just sweating for Hua Ruge, they thought that Hua Ruge was definitely going to be trapped in the tiger cave and not escape.
After all, there were no rumors that a woman who caught the eyes of the Young Master would be able to escape.
"Heh, you little girl. Do you think I don't dare to hit you?" Li Si took another step forward and raised his hand. Of course, he would not dare to continue.
Didn't you see how the young masters were coaxing them in soft voices?
