Chapter 369 Mysterious Mineral Veins

 “What the hell?”

Looking at the owner of the village and mine who bowed to the end with a look of relief on his face, and the meat cutters who could not help but be slightly excited around him, Hu Ma suddenly felt that the development of the situation seemed to be different from what he thought...

Even Zhou Datong, Lao Abacus and others next to them realized that something was wrong, and looked around curiously. The tense atmosphere just now could no longer be maintained.

 “If you say something about this kind of situation first, it will put me on a high level and I won’t be able to get down.”

Hu Ma slightly raised his voice, not concealing his inner vigilance, and said: "To be honest, I am here to check the accounts. I only have this ability, but I don't dare to show off. You guys first tell me what is going on. Don't you guys?" Have you offended the witches outside?"

“They are all just trying to make a living, so who dares to offend them?”

The head of the mine at Nazhuang sighed when he saw that Hu Ma didn't know how to appreciate it. He felt less confused and said slowly: "In the past half month, a lot of things have happened in the mine. At the beginning, It’s that mineral vein…”

 “Master…”

Suddenly, the two disciples behind him suddenly shouted, looking a little nervous.

Not only them, but also some people among the meat cutters who looked like bosses and stewards were slightly moved.

The old abacus next to him coughed immediately when he saw this. Hu Ma understood, and sneered first and said: "Boss Zhuang and Mine, we see that everyone is in the Shousui family, so we respect your age and speak to you properly. , why are you so hesitant?"

I did not expect to say that ama directly said on his face, the two apprentices around Zhuang Mine were slightly discolored.

After hearing this, Mr. Zhuang, the mine leader, also paused slightly.

Hu Ma glanced at him and sat down on the table next to him. He raised his hand to take a wine jar, poured half a bowl of wine and asked the old abacus to sit down next to the table. Then he said to the leader of the village and mine. : "Speak slowly, I have plenty of time."

The head of the mine Zhuang sighed lowly and said: "I am not an ignorant person. I have been guarding the blood food mine since I learned the skills. I have seen and eaten all kinds of things."

“Shou Sui’s sect respects teachers and respects the rules. You are talking here, but the disciple’s throat is not clean. In our sect, it is disrespectful to the teacher..."

"But because of the heavy distribution in the meeting, I thought about picking it there to test the quality, but it didn't work out. It was obviously black Tai Sui, but the more I cut it, the more bright-colored the meat became. After several cuts, the meat was already turning green. After cutting it a few more times, the flesh will turn red.”

　　　…”

 When others saw this young man being so careless, they felt a little uncomfortable, but they couldn't help but accept it.

“But this is the only mine I really don’t understand.”

“But it’s not that I want to hide it. It’s actually these strange things that start from this mine. It’s actually a bit weird...”

He paused slightly and said, "It's true that I'm overthinking it. Don't be surprised if I stay up late."

The head of the village mine also paused slightly when Hu Ma and others looked at him, then sighed and said calmly: "Indeed, it was originally a black Tai Sui, but it turned out to be a bleeding Tai Sui, and..."

Not only him, but Zhou Datong and others next to him, as well as Lao Abacus, also hurriedly raised their heads and looked over.

"It must have been two months ago. We found a meat pit. There were many black Tai Sui around. They were very evil and there was nothing to harvest, so we kept it there, but..."

　　　…”

"good…"

　　　…”

But the leader of the mine, Zhuang, understood that Hu Ma was very capable and had many unique skills. Looking at his lineage, it seemed that he had a good background and must have many rules. If he acted like this, he would really lose the face of his master.

 After all, they just joined forces and Hu Ma had already won. They could be dissatisfied with his age, but they could not be dissatisfied with his ability.

Hearing what he said, Hu Ma's mind suddenly changed slightly. Is it too old to cut blood?

This is good stuff...

He seemed to have a wry smile and said: "The more you cut the meat, the brighter and plumper it becomes, and even blood is soaked in it. It is simply the highest quality blood food we have ever seen..."

“To be honest, it even caused a group of evil spirits to howl at night, and they were dispersed after a big sacrifice was made.”

　　　…”

Hearing this, Hu Ma couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly asked: "Then how many did you cut in total?"

Blood Taisui is a rare thing. Normally, these blood food mines, if they are not that big, can be cut out for dozens of kilograms a year, like a treasure. But this Huoziling is only a small mine. If you give them twenty kilograms, it's an astronomical figure.

But now look, they actually secretly made a big one?

I can't help but feel excited, thinking about what I came here to do. If there is really a rich blood food mine here that has not been known to the superiors, then the amount I need now can be solved at once?

 “Not much…”

The leader of the mine, Nazhuang, saw that the eyes of the people around him became impatient and looked a little embarrassed. He said, "I just cut a few baskets..."

 “How many baskets?”

Hearing this, Hu Ma almost lost his temper.

The last time I saw the Blood Tai Sui weighed in a basket was when I was at the Li family in Dongzi...

"...It's not important!" The head of the mine in the village said hurriedly: "We also know that Tai Sui's blood is a treasure, so we don't dare to be careless. But what we didn't expect was that not long after it was cut, we found that the quality of the meat had changed again, and the quality of the blood had changed. , streaks of golden lines have appeared, and it is very beautiful..."

 “Golden pattern Tai Sui?”

Hu Ma felt her heart skip a beat and was already feeling a little numb. She even looked at the tall and powerful leader of the village and mine in front of her with a suspicious expression.

This blood food has gold lines inside it, which is gold and jade paste...

This is what I used to save the sweet girl of Dongzi's Li family.

But what the Dongzi Li family gave back to him later was a superior one, which was already the best among the blood food he had eaten.

 For a moment, I suddenly felt a little wary, something was wrong...

This is just a medium-sized blood food mine. Occasionally, some good things can be dug out. This is very reasonable. But according to the leader of the mine, how come all the good things in the world are here?

“But here’s the scary thing…”

Before Hu Ma could raise any doubts, the head of the village and mine also sighed in a low voice, his voice trembling a little, and said in a low voice: "That golden pattern Tai Sui, we all know how powerful it is, and we all say it is the blessing of Master Tai Sui. We, who have suffered a lot, have been hit by a huge sum of money."

"But who would have imagined that the further you cut, the more obvious the gold pattern will be, and the more blood will be leached out. That kind of quality is rare even for people like us who have been working in the mines for more than ten years... "

　　　…”

 “Is there such a thing?”

It was also the first time that Hu Ma heard about this situation. His heart was pounding and he asked quickly: "What's behind? Going deeper, what else was cut out?"

 “Here’s the key…”

The head of Nazhuang Mine stammered: "We, we don't know, we have sealed the vein..."

At this moment, Hu Ma couldn't help but frown. Lao Baanpan, Zhou Datong and others also looked at him with unkind eyes, not hiding their doubts.

“Hey, this mine boss is not very practical...”

 Lao Abacus winked at Hu Ma from a distance and laughed in a low voice: "This season's Tai Sui prayers should have been finished a month ago, and the meat cutters should have been put back to work on the farm, and those who have taken a break for the new year."

"How come you are the only one in this mine who won't let anyone go, and at this moment, you are saying that you accidentally cut out a **** spot? I look at it, maybe you keep it secretly, just to put it back in your pocket." Hit it, right?"

“So, if something good is found in the vein behind, I guess you guys don’t dare to let our Red Lantern Club know about it…”

 “Is this right?”

　　　…”

As soon as he said these words, the head of the village and mine looked a little embarrassed, but it was difficult to refute.

Everyone is not stupid. Those who guard the mine have really cut out good things. It is common not to hand it over to the superiors. What's more, this blood food mine is originally a time when new and old owners alternate, and the accounts and management are at their most chaotic. .

I think that when I came to this mine, I didn't just recently discover the place where there was blood food. I discovered it a long time ago, but covered it up. After the payment from the Red Lantern Club was completed, I secretly left the workers behind and dug it out myself. Once you get something good, it becomes your own treasure.

From the very beginning, the Red Lantern Club had made up their mind to kill the donkey. They had to agree to it first, and then ask their own family members to take over.

The people at the mine are not stupid. They knew that they might be replaced by people sent by the Red Light Society, so they took advantage of this opportunity to line their own pockets!

However, everyone knows these things well, and the old abacus only points out, but is not aggressive.

"well…"

The mine boss of the village was also a little helpless. He looked at Hu Ma, bowed his hands gently and said: "Boss Hu, your master, this master named Mr. Zhou, I have little experience and I have never heard of him."

“But the Shou Sui family in the world is one family. Maybe my master knows about him, and maybe the two old men are still friends. Therefore, I don’t think you are a member of the Red Lantern Society, I only regard you as the big Shou Sui in our family.”

 “I would only say these words to Da Shou Sui.”

"The Red Lantern Lady is nothing but the evil ghost in blue. That evil ghost is not my ancestor, so who cares about him?"

“But we also know that once the Red Light Society takes over, no matter how nice it is, we will no longer be able to make the final decision on the blood food mine.”

“I don’t know when you people who will take over will come, so we just want to make a few more bucks before then. At least the brothers’ future food and clothing will be covered.”

"This vein of blood ore was indeed something we discovered before. We hid it and didn't talk about it. We just wanted to cut something out at the end so that everyone could share the profits. But we were able to cut out these good things later, but we didn't It’s really not what we expected…”

“The most important thing is that when we want to work hard and see what is deeper in this vein, then..."

　　　…”

He saw that he had stayed up until the end of the year, but now he had a strange expression on his face, and looked unspeakable. Hu Ma couldn't help but frowned, and said in a deep voice: "What about it?"

Zhuang Mine Leader was silent for a while, then whispered: "It's haunted..."
