Chapter 91: An Ancestral Mining Skill

Xie Zhou looked at him in doubt and ignored him. He continued digging.

Seeing that Xie Zhou was ignoring him, the person didn’t give up and continued, “I’m telling you the truth. Look at how I dug. It’s so fast and saves energy!”

Xie Zhou looked at the way he was digging. His side was indeed digging faster than his own.

“You tried it in prison? You wanted to break out of prison?”

The person laughed dryly. “I had indeed thought of this method, but you also know that Xisha Prison is surrounded by the desert. Even if I were to successfully escape, I would die in the desert. I might as well stay in prison obediently!”

“Then why are you so good at digging holes?”

The person said, “Hehe, actually, my family’s ancestors worked in this line of work! My grandpa was a coal mine worker. Later on, my father was also like him. He became a coal mine worker as well. When I was 20-year-old, my father told me to become a coal mine worker too. I wasn’t interested and ran away from home. Later on, because of some matters, I was imprisoned!”

Xie Zhou:”…”

The person who was hiding in the dark and wanted to deal with him had even specially found an expert?

…

On the other side of the coal mine.

In the dim environment, more than twenty people sat against the stone wall.

Everyone had stains on their faces and body. They looked very disheveled.

Old Yang took off his safety helmet. There was blood on his forehead, so the person beside him helped him stop the bleeding.

“I’m fine. I was just hit by a rock. It was even blocked by the safety helmet. It’s just a little abrasion, nothing serious!”

“Gang Zi, what about you? Are the injuries on your arm serious?”

Gang Zi, who was relatively younger, smiled and shook his head. He said with a smile, “I’m fine too. When I was hiding just now, I was scratched by the edge of the rock. It is not bleeding anymore!”

There were more than twenty people in the group. Only the two of them were unlucky and suffered some light injuries. The rest were not injured.

Since they were trapped down here, they had nothing to do so they started chatting.

“Back then, I thought that Xie Zhou was wasting money by repairing the beam, digging the tracks, and building the exhaustive system. I thought there was no need for that at all. Now, I understand that he was right. Thanks to his insistence, we are still alive!”

Old Yang echoed, “That’s right! We were lacking too much foresight!”

“That’s right, we’re indeed inferior to Xie Zhou. Whatever he says in the future, we’ll just do it!”

Someone suddenly burst into tears.

“Are we going to die here? I haven’t gotten a wife, I haven’t gotten a partner! I don’t want to die! Boohoo…”

Xiao Kai was the youngest of the group. He was extremely afraid and couldn’t help but cry.

As soon as he shouted this, everyone paused for a moment before laughing out loud.

“Xiao Kai, when we get out, I’ll get your aunt to matchmake you so that you can get a wife sooner!”

“That’s right, Xiao Kai. The people of our Shanbai Village are really popular now. When we get out, we’ll all help you keep a lookout and try to get you to marry a good wife!”

Everyone temporarily forgot if they could still get out.

“Hey, Old Yang, you’d better not fool around outside anymore!”

“Yes, your wife is such a good person. She knows that you fool around with other women all day long and still serves your parents at home and takes care of your children. Tell me, aren’t you ashamed of yourself when you see all these?”

“I…”

Old Yang lowered his head after being persuaded by everyone. He leaned against the wall and stammered, not knowing what to say.
