Although the old man looked old, his body was still strong. After watching a few boulders being lifted away, after a while, he simply stood up lightly and exhaled a long breath, as if he could not tell that he was a little embarrassed just now. Life is in danger.

Judging from his clothes and temperament alone, this old man was definitely not an ordinary person. There was a hint of probing in his sharp and upright old eyebrows. He looked at the Mu Yunxiao brothers for a moment, and then he said his sincere thanks. .

No matter how strange this accident seemed, these two people saved his life. He has lived for decades and has never been an ungrateful person.

Especially when Mr. Liu's eyes met Mu Yunxiao's dark and calm black eyes, he could clearly see something unusual in the young man's eyes.

He could also see that the boy in front of him was not an ordinary person... After all, ordinary people would never have such a terrifying look in his eyes. Just one look at him made Mr. Liu more and more suspicious.

How could accidents and rescues be so strange?
Mu Yunchao patted his head in confusion, and noticed that the old man's clothes did not look like ordinary poor villagers, let alone someone who would appear in such a dusty quarry, so he could only wonder. He asked loudly: "Uncle, why are you here? This is a quarry..."

The door of this quarry is kept open all year round. After all, there is really nothing valuable inside, and the large and ordinary stones are not worthy of the surrounding villagers coming in and stealing them. Therefore, over time, even the officials who oversee the work are not worthy of stealing them. I didn't bother to close the door and lock it. In all these years, there had never been anything as bizarre and meaningless as the theft of stones.

There was nothing in the quarry, just flying sand and rocks all over the sky, and a strong smell of ore. It was really not a good place.

None of the workers in the quarry were happy to stay in this place, and this was the first time they saw people coming in from outside.

Especially the old man in front of him who was either rich or noble made Mu Yunchao confused.

Mr. Liu came to the quarry this time to pick out a few special stones for other uses and to avoid the time when the workers were working. He never thought that he was squatting under the stones. When he was picking at the side, he turned to one side and saw several large rocks hitting him one after another, and they hit him without any warning.

Mr. Liu was also a practicing master when he was young. Now that he is getting older, his reaction is still much faster than that of an ordinary old man. He hurriedly twisted to the side, his steps slipped, and he fell directly to the ground. Those big pieces The stone also hit his hand.

Fortunately, he dodged in time and was not hit in the bone. However, the big rocks were firmly clamped on both sides of his arms, making it impossible for the old man to pull out his hands. He could only watch the scratches on his arms. Blood slowly flowed out of his mouth, and he lay helplessly on the ground waiting for people outside to find him, while thinking about ways to escape.

Mr. Liu has traveled all over the world for most of his life, and his eyes are particularly vicious. When he met the younger boy in front of him, he noticed his blank and pure eyes. Naturally, he could see that this boy was not a bad person, and his expression softened. He explained succinctly: "I came here to pick up a few rocks to go back. Unexpectedly, not long after I walked in, a few rocks from above suddenly fell down. Alas... I didn't react, so I was trapped here... ...Thanks to you two children, otherwise I don’t know if I would have survived..."

What Mr. Liu said later is definitely not an exaggeration. Once it gets dark, the quarry will be dark and no one will come here. The wound on the old man's arm is not big or small, but if it is allowed to bleed all night, It's hard to say what will happen.As soon as Mr. Liu finished speaking, Mu Yunxiao, who was looking around calmly and suspiciously, looked increasingly weird. He shook his head coldly and said slowly: "The rocks here will not collapse for no reason."

A calm and ordinary sentence, but it instantly revealed the strangeness of Mr. Liu's injury.

As soon as Mu Yunchao heard his eldest brother say this, the young man also showed a thoughtful look on his face, and muttered a few words: "Yes! My eldest brother is right...Uncle, you are really unlucky. That’s right, I’ve been working here for so long, I’ve seen mines collapse, but I’ve never seen a few rocks fall down inexplicably... If we hadn’t returned home after work, and my eldest brother had heard the noise. , no one will come in and take a look.”

This is an extremely unreasonable situation. After all, the stones in the mine are a whole, or the entire mine collapses at the same time, but the situation where only a few stones fall is particularly weird.

Mr. Liu was a smart man. When he heard what Mu Yunxiao said, he suddenly realized that someone was planning to kill him.

But now, he had no idea about this secret person, so he had to put this matter aside for the time being.

After just a few words of exploration, Mr. Liu roughly figured out the identities of the two brothers in front of him. They were just exiled prisoners who were sent to do hard work. Saving his life was just a coincidence, and there was nothing suspicious about it.

After thanking Mr. Liu again and again, after careful consideration, he took out a square token from his arms. With a deep voice and a gentle smile, he looked at the two of them and said, "If you need any help, just come to the county seat." The government came to see me, and I can still speak to the old man in this place in Yuecheng!"

The token was clearly engraved with a huge word "Yue", as if it was a special token for the Yue City Lord's Mansion. The carving was extremely delicate, and it seemed that the old man in front of him had a very important status.

Touching the token, Mu Yunxiao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and he could probably guess the identity of the person in front of him.

"Uncle...what is your identity? You are so powerful!" Mu Yunchao heard the two particularly arrogant words of the old man in front of him, his eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help but ask.

After all, he was simple-minded and not as thoughtful as his elder brother. He just murmured in his heart: The person who can speak well in Yue City cannot be the Lord of Yue City... But at this age, isn't he a little older? ? !
When Mr. Liu heard this simple inquiry, he couldn't help laughing heartily. He glanced at the child and said, "My child, if you want to know, you can come to see me directly at the City Lord's Mansion tomorrow. , old man, let me entertain you! Then you will know who I am." (End of this chapter)
