Chapter 14 Is there Chang'e in Guanghan Palace?
Chapter 14 Is there Chang'e in Guanghan Palace?
The next morning, there was a knock on the cabin's door.
All the other miners got out of bed and ran out, but Tian Lin and Boss Zhang did not move.
The supervisor waited until everyone had left before looking at Boss Zhang and saying, "Manager Xu wants to see you. You need to come over right now."
Boss Zhang picked up the clothes on the kang and limped off the bed.
After Boss Zhang left the room, the supervisor threw the package in his hand on Tian Lin's chest and said in a cold tone:
"Here are your clothes. From now on, you and I will both be supervisors, and you can move into our cabin. In addition to the three-day shift supervision, you can also rest on weekdays if you have nothing to do."
After he finished speaking, he ignored Tian Lin, turned around and slammed the door and left.
After Tian Lin and the others left, he took out the black clothes from the package.
The black clothes are the same as those of other supervisors, but the style is slightly larger.
Tian Lin put it aside and was not in a hurry to change it. His body still smelled very bad and the wound would bleed if he moved a little.
The supervisor only gave Tian Lin one set of clothes. Considering how stingy Manager Xu was, it seemed that he did not prepare an extra set for him to change into.
Tian Lin was reluctant to get his clothes dirty, and he still had two days to recover from his injury, so he was in no rush to wear them.
"Overseer Tian, I've got you a bowl of porridge."
The door opened and the person who walked in was the one who had brought the Soul-Burial Flower to Tian Lin.
Tian Lin took the porridge he handed over and thanked him.
Seeing that Tian Lin didn't say anything more, the man turned around and walked out of the house.
But halfway through the walk, he turned around and knelt down in front of Tian Lin, holding Ye's knife high in the air.
"Overseer Tian, this knife is not suitable for me to use. I think it is better to leave it in the hands of Overseer Tian."
Tian Lin put down the bowl and said, "This knife is your reward for helping me bring the Soul Burial Flower that day. Since I gave it to you, I can't ask for it back. If I gave it to you and asked for it back, what kind of person would I be?"
The man's face was filled with joy. He stood up, bowed deeply to Tian Lin and said, "Thank you for the reward, Supervisor Tian. I have work to do outside, so I won't disturb Supervisor Tian's rest."
As soon as he left, Tian Lin put the bowl on the kang beside him.
He didn't touch the bowl of porridge at all. He felt very insecure and thought that the porridge might have been poisoned.
After all, You has been in the mine for so many years, how could he not have some friends?
Furthermore, he had obtained his position by committing crimes against his superiors, so how could he not arouse the disgust of those old supervisors?
Looking at the attitude of the supervisor who delivered clothes to him today, Tian Lin knew without hesitation that his situation was not good.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to go to the supervisor's dormitory in the next two days until his injuries were fully healed.
During the day, Tian Lin brought back a few bowls of rice, ate the Soul-Burial Flower, and began to meditate.
There was no need to go to the mine to work, so he ate four Soul-Burial Flowers in a row and practiced from before dawn until dark.
The wooden house was pushed open from the outside, and Boss Zhang walked in with a completely different face and attire.
Not only was his beard clean-shaven, but he was also wearing a purple coat.
The purple coat looks particularly conspicuous and is out of place with the entire mine.
Zhang Lao Da turned around proudly, patted his purple official boots and said, "How about my outfit? Do I look like a county lord?" Tian Lin saw that he was in a good mood and asked him, "What did Manager Xu want you to do that made him willing to buy you this outfit?"
Boss Zhang took out a dagger, used the blade as a mirror, and started to fix his hairstyle.
He said, "There are only two people in the entire mine who wear such clothes. One is Leopard, and the other is me."
Tian Lin had also heard of Brother Bao's name, but had never seen him.
Zhang Laodao said: "This Leopard brother is also a first-class master. He has a brother named Bench by Manager Xu."
Tian Lin frowned and said, "Forget about the leopard, why is it called a bench?"
Boss Zhang laughed and said, "Manager Xu has four generals under him - Leopard, Bench, All Killer and Six Points. You probably figured out that Manager Xu likes gambling."
Tian Lin said nothing, and listened to Boss Zhang:
"These four generals usually don't stay in the mine. They are responsible for killing people outside for Manager Xu. It's easier to make money by killing people outside than by helping Manager Xu in the mine."
Tian Lin opened his mouth but said nothing.
According to what Boss Zhang said, he now also wants to be an assassin for Manager Xu.
Sure enough, Boss Zhang put the dagger back into his pocket, walked up to Tian Lin, patted Tian Lin on the shoulder and said:
"I'm going to leave after two days of rest. You have to be careful in the mine. Those supervisors are not easy to deal with. Manager Xu doesn't care much about their lives. After all, if the mine needs supervisors, he can always find them from the miners. Since Manager Xu doesn't care about their lives, he won't care about yours either."
Tian Lin didn't say anything. He saw Zhang Lao Da pick up the bowl on the kang next to him and immediately said, "This bowl was brought by the miner who helped you. I don't know if it's poisonous or not."
"It must be non-toxic. That guy doesn't have the guts to poison you."
That was true, but Boss Zhang himself didn't eat the bowl of porridge.
When the miners came back, Boss Zhang gave the bowl of porridge to the miner next to them.
The miner drank it gratefully, and there was no sign of poison taking effect.
That night, Boss Zhang dragged Tian Lin to the stream to take a bath.
Several miners massaged Boss Zhang's shoulders and back while Boss Zhang applied medicine to Tian Lin.
The two were still resting by the stream when an overseer came to drive the miners back to the house.
Zhang Boss lay on his back on the stone, looking at the bright moon and said:
"I've heard from my father since I was a child that cultivators can fly to the sky after becoming immortals, where there are many immortals representing different constellations. There is a Guanghan Palace on the moon, and in the Guanghan Palace there is a very beautiful Chang'e, who also raises a very cute little white rabbit. What do you think, do we have a chance to go to the sky to take a look?"
Tian Lin said: "What if you go up to the sky and find that the moon is just a ball, and there is no Guanghan Palace and no one lives there?"
Boss Zhang laughed loudly and said, "How is that possible? The moon is so beautiful, how could there not be Guanghan Palace? I want to become an immortal and go to Guanghan Palace to meet the fairy Chang'e."
He stood up, patted his butt and walked towards the barracks.
Tian Lin was also a little confused. Looking at the full moon above his head, he didn't feel that there was any difference between that full moon and the full moon he had seen in his previous life.
But this world is populated by immortals, so how could the moon in the sky be the same as the moon I saw in my previous life?
Tian Lin also patted his butt and stood up, saying to Zhang Laodao in front of him: "One day, if I have the chance, I will also look at the moon in the sky to see if there is the fairy Chang'e, and whether it is different from what we imagined."
