The quarry filled with flying stones is now nearing the end of the day. The sweaty quarry workers all wiped the sweat from their foreheads, finished all the work at hand, and planned to go home to rest. Just when it was time to finish work, the workers who had worked hard all day looked relaxed, joked happily, and walked out of the quarry in twos and threes. They took off the iron safety helmets on their heads and put them down. On top of the display cabinet beside it.

The two brothers Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao had just been praised by the official supervisor for their diligent work, so they made a special trip to the house to collect the reward they deserved.

The official supervisor had received the secret permission from his superiors to slightly relax the restrictions on the two Mu brothers. Now that he saw them working so neatly and diligently, he naturally praised them without hesitation.

The official supervisor stuffed a bag of reward money into Mu Yunxiao's hand, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted as if to encourage him: "Do a good job! Of course you two brothers are indispensable for the reward."

After saying this, the official supervisor shouted and waved, indicating that the two of them could leave.

When he walked out of the official rest cubicle, Mu Yunchao weighed the money in his hand, showed an unhappy look, and muttered to his elder brother: "He's short again..."

Their bounty is determined based on the ore collected in excess of the workload. A fixed share will receive a fixed amount of bounty. After this period of time, the two brothers can work the excess amount every day, and they can get as much as they can. The reward money is decreasing day by day. The answer to whose pocket the withheld reward money falls into is naturally self-evident.

The official supervisor was just an official in charge of their small group of quarry workers. He already dared to steal money without telling his superiors, just because the workers under him dared to be angry and dare not speak out.His immediate boss, Mr. Tang, is responsible for the operation of the entire ore mine, so naturally he will not care about such a trivial matter.

After all, it is a trivial matter to deduct a little money, but if you offend the official who is looking after you, the days ahead will definitely be extremely difficult. This little official will definitely hold a grudge in his heart, and it is easy to give small shoes to the workers under him. .

The Mu Yunxiao brothers naturally knew the truth behind this. Compared to Mu Yunchao's private resentment, Mu Yunxiao only calmly weighed the money in his hand and did not take it seriously. He only handed the reward money when he returned to the house every night. The income is recorded in detail in the account book, and the long-term plan is to catch the big fish and make a long-term plan.

No matter what, he will always get his reasonable income back.

The official supervisor chatted a lot inside, so that when the two brothers came out, the sky had gradually darkened. Almost all the workers in the huge quarry were gone, and there were only broken pieces that occasionally fell to the ground in the empty mine. The sound came from the stone.

Mu Yunxiao frowned and suddenly heard a slight painful groan coming from inside. As a martial arts practitioner, he had sharp ears and could hear even the slightest sound.

Generally speaking, no one would appear in the mine at this time, but the sound just now was obviously made by a human being, and...it was a little weird.

Seeing that his eldest brother had stopped, Mu Yunchao looked over blankly and urged in confusion: "Brother, it's a bit late. Let's go back quickly."

Today, the officer left the two of them for a phone call. When they came out, the sky had darkened. It was already later than usual to go home. If the delay continued, Grandma and the others would be anxious.

"Wait a minute." Mu Yunxiao raised his hand to signal him to calm down, turned sideways, and his calm and dark eyes fell on the depths of the quarry not far away, his expression dark and unclear. "How..." Mu Yunchao was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized what his elder brother's gesture was. He quickly closed his mouth and stood there honestly, waiting for Mu Yunxiao's next move.

He was not an idiot. Although he still didn't know what happened, he also knew that there must be a reason why his eldest brother suddenly became quiet.

Mu Yunxiao calmly walked towards the source of the sound, and after a while, he found a figure in the corner of the quarry.

When the two brothers walked over, the figure was half-lying on the ground, panting weakly, and the blood stains spreading on the ground flowed for a while.

After taking a closer look, he saw that the man lying on the ground was dressed in brocade clothes. He was estimated to be around seventy years old. He was an old man with frost-white hair on his temples. He looked a little frail, but when he looked up following the voice, his old eyes were particularly sharp and perceptive. Eyes, extremely oppressive eyes fell directly on the two people who came.

The blood on the ground also came from this old man. His arm was pressed hard by a big stone and he couldn't move. The stone opened a hole and blood kept flowing out.

After pressing it for a long time, the blood flowing from the old man's arm had gathered into a small pool on the ground.

Mu Yunchao stared at the scene in front of him in surprise and confusion. He didn't react for a while, and asked in confusion: "Ah? Uncle, where are you from? How could you..."

An old man of such an age could not be a worker in their mine, and it seemed unlikely that he could be an official. It was the quarry's break time, so what was he doing here for no reason?
Before the old man could respond, Mu Yunxiao had already silently stepped forward, lifted the stones from the old man's arms, and applied the ointment he carried with him to his wounds.

No matter what, Mu Yunxiao was not the one who refused to save anything. What's more, this was an accident that happened in their mine. If the old man's wound was allowed to continue to bleed, sooner or later he would be unable to hold on.

Moreover... the accident in front of him was a bit strange and inexplicable, which made Mu Yunxiao suddenly have sporadic doubts in his heart, and it was time to investigate.

The ointment that Mu Yunxiao carries with him is not an ordinary ointment. It is specially made by Ruan He by mixing spiritual spring water with herbs. It is convenient for Mu Yunxiao to apply it when he is injured while working in the mine. He is not willing to use it at all on weekdays, and only occasionally. Will take it out.

The ointment specially made from spiritual spring water is naturally extraordinary in its efficacy. When the ointment was applied to the wound opened by the old man, the bleeding stopped in a short while, and the wound also showed a tendency to heal at a slow speed.

Seeing such a miraculous effect, the old man let out an exclamation. He clearly felt a cold and comfortable feeling coming from the originally stinging wound, which made his frowning gray brows relax. (End of chapter)
