Chapter 19 What is 23rd class? Worse than a dog
Chapter 19: What is second-rate? Worse than a dog
Tian Lin originally thought that Da Liu's job as supervisor would not be settled until the next day, but he did not expect that soon after he returned to the wooden house, a supervisor kicked open the door.
When Big Liu and Little Liu looked at the supervisor warily, the supervisor glanced at Tian Lin and Big Liu and said coldly: "Manager Xu is calling you."
Tian Lin and Big Liu looked at each other, and Little Liu happily said to the two of them, "Is it really done?"
Da Liu didn't say anything and left the house with Tian Lin.
When they arrived at the supervisor's dormitory, they saw Manager Xu sitting on a stool drinking.
"Don't you like fighting? Okay, move in tomorrow and we'll have a good fight here from now on."
As he spoke, Manager Xu threw the clothes on the table to Da Liu, and then said to Tian Lin: "I still say the same thing. If someone hits you, you hit him back. If you win, I won't punish you. If you lose, your brother can't blame me."
After he finished speaking, he left the room, leaving the group of people staring at each other in bewilderment.
Six o'clock came out from the overseer, and said to Tian Lin with a chuckle, "What do you say now, little brat? We will not stop here when we spar with you."
Tian Lin didn't say anything, but Da Liu stood up with his clothes in his hand. He looked at Liu Dian and said, "We are wandering around and working as Huahualang. We never thought about returning alive. Who can you fool with those threats?"
Six o'clock clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, okay! Then let's wait until Manager Xu leaves tomorrow and then have a fight?"
Tian Lin said nothing, and took the lead to walk out of the house with a knife in hand.
Soon, Da Liu followed him out. On the way back, Da Liu said, "Is Xu trying to kill us? He wants to make Big Brother and Leopard enemies?"
Tian Lin said, "No matter what Mr. Xu thinks, we will move to the supervisor's dormitory tomorrow. Call Third Brother when the time comes. We must strike first."
The two returned to the house and told Xiao Liu everything.
Xiao Liu said to Tian Lin with excitement, "Give me your dagger, I will use it to kill someone tomorrow."
Tian Lin threw the dagger to Xiao Liu and said to Da Liu, "In fact, there are a few third-rate masters in the mine, but there are not enough supervisor positions in the past, so they have no chance to go up - why don't we recruit them?"
Big Liu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Tian Lin and laughed.
Because tomorrow's battle concerns their life and death, as well as the future structure of the mine, they dare not be careless and cannot sleep at all.
The two men went to two barracks near the stream and asked the three miners to come out. The three miners were obviously very hesitant, so Tian Lin asked them:
"Do you want to be a miner's slave for the rest of your life? Do you think that being a miner's slave will earn you the appreciation of Mr. Shang and allow him to grant you magical powers?"
The three miners finally made up their minds and said, "Okay, tomorrow morning, as soon as Manager Xu leaves, we will go with you to find those supervisors and have a fight."
Liu Da laughed and said, "Children of the Jianghu should act decisively. Why would you seek help from the gods if you are timid and timid?"
He and Tian Lin did not stay any longer, but left the barracks.
On their way back, Da Liu suddenly turned his head and asked Tian Lin, "Did you hear any sound?"
Tian Lin was stunned and looked towards the mine cave beside the stream.
That mine was formed by mining in the early years and few people have ever entered it.
But at this moment, there seemed to be the sound of bells coming from the mine.
"Is that the sound of a stream?"
While Tian Lin was talking, he and Da Liu approached the stream and could only hear the gurgling of water. The bell sound had disappeared by then.
"Maybe I heard it wrong, let's go back!"
At this time, the sky was dark and the deep mine was pitch black, with only cold wind blowing out.
Logically, who would be bored staying there?
The two of them then walked back together, but halfway through the journey, the bell rang again.
Tian Lin and Da Liu looked at each other, and this time they were sure that the bell sound was definitely not an auditory hallucination.
The sound of the bell was intermittent, appearing and disappearing in the dark mine.
"Never mind. We have our own things to do tomorrow."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, he returned to the barracks first.
At dawn the next day, the miners ran out of the barracks at the sound of the overseer breaking down the door and crowded towards the place where porridge was distributed.
As the three men lined up to get porridge, they nodded to Tian Lin and Da Liu.
A group of people squatted in various places to eat porridge, and their attention was focused on Manager Xu.
Not only were they paying attention to Manager Xu, several supervisors were also waiting for Manager Xu to leave at six o'clock.
Finally, before the group of people had even finished their bowl of hot porridge, Manager Xu left in a hurry.
'Pah, pah! '
The three miners that Tian Lin had made an appointment with last night threw their bowls down and stood behind Da Liu.
'Clang, clang!'
The supervisors also drew their knives at this time and stood behind Six O'clock.
The surrounding miners realized that something was wrong, so they all walked away with their bowls in their arms, leaving the empty space for the two groups.
"Haha, you found three idiots with iron rods and you want to 'usurp the throne'?"
Liudian's gaze lingered on the three miners behind Da Liu, and there was a hint of timidity in the eyes of the three miners.
After all, in addition to the six points, the other side also has six third-rate masters.
On their side, even with Tian Lin, there are only five third-rate masters.
"Those holding the skewer may not be rotten shrimps, but those of you holding knives may be rotten fishes."
When it comes to verbal battles, Xiao Liu stood up unwilling to be left behind.
He held a dagger in his hand, looked down at the supervisors opposite him and said:
"Hey, can you use a knife? I see the way you hold the knife is taught by your master's wife, right? Today I will practice with you and let you know how to use a knife."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Let's fight!" Liudian spoke first. He took off the cloak on his back and used it as a broom to sweep towards Liu Da.
The cloak he swept was not sweeping the fallen leaves and dust, but the huge rocks next to him.
The huge rocks weighing hundreds of pounds were swept away by his cloak and flew towards Tian Lin and others like cannonballs.
Fortunately, Da Liu was also a second-rate master. He stepped forward and hit the boulder with the handle of his knife. Not only did he break the boulder into powder, he also pulled out the knife and rushed towards six o'clock.
The miners in the distance looked at the flying sand and rocks and the battle between masters, and couldn't help feeling scared and excited.
You know, although there are many experts in the mines, they are rare outside.
A third-rate master can still hold his own against dozens of villagers armed with knives.
And now, it is a battle between a dozen third-rate masters and two second-rate masters!
'Jingle Bell'
Just as the two groups collided with each other, the sound of bells rang out.
Da Liu and Tian Lin were the first to react. Their faces changed and they retreated hastily.
"what happened?"
Xiao Liu was just about to start killing people, but before his dagger collided with someone else's knife, his brother grabbed his neck and pulled him out of the battlefield.
'Jingle Bell'
The bell rang again. Da Liu looked at Tian Lin and said, "It was the bell in the mine last night."
"What mine, what bell sound?"
As soon as Xiao Liu finished speaking, he saw a black shadow coming out from somewhere.
Wherever the black shadow passed, the three miners holding iron picks and the supervisor in black all fell to the ground screaming.
"What the hell?"
Xiao Liu was startled, and he, Tian Lin and Da Liu kept hiding in the house to get away from the black shadow.
Screams rang out one after another outside the supervisor's dormitory, and the three of them saw Six O'clock running in from outside in a miserable state.
"It's the dog!"
"Which dog?"
The two parties completely forgot their identities as enemies and friends. When Liu Da asked questions, he heard Liu Dian answer:
"It's the dog that Master Shang keeps in the mine. The mine is connected to the cliff tiankeng under the back mountain. Usually, Manager Xu asks us to throw the corpses down from the back mountain just to keep this dog."
"A dog has such ability? This must be a top-notch expert, right?"
Liu Da couldn't believe it, but he did see a big black dog outside the house gnawing on the head of a supervisor.
The six supervisors and three miners outside all fell to the ground without exception.
They were not wounded by weapons, but by claws and teeth.
Some of them were still shaking and gasping on the ground, and the unlucky ones had their throats bitten off.
'Jingle Bell! ’
The big black dog bit off the necks of the supervisors one by one, and finally looked at Tian Lin and the other three in the room.
The bench, who never participated in disputes, covered his mouth and coughed for a while. He finally stopped coughing and said, "It seems that Master Shang is back. No wonder Manager Xu rushed out in a hurry today."
Liudian said with an unpleasant expression, "Manager Xu is the same. He didn't tell us in advance that Young Master Shang was back. Doesn't he know that as soon as Young Master Shang comes back, this dog will come out from under the sinkhole as if it smells something?"
"Wang!"
The big black dog outside the house finally couldn't hold back and rushed into the house.
Big Liu's face changed, and he held a knife in his hand, protecting Tian Lin and Little Liu behind him.
At this time, a young man's voice sounded outside the house: "Xiao Hei, come here quickly."
The big black dog had rushed into the house, but at this moment suddenly turned around and ran away.
Liu wiped the sweat off his forehead as if relieved, and looked at Liudian.
At this time, the two people no longer had the kind of hatred that they wished each other dead, but were grateful for having survived the disaster.
"Oh, I just left the house for a short time and this kind of trouble happened."
Manager Xu's voice shouted from outside the house: "Mr. Liu, there are benches at six o'clock. What are you doing in the house? Why don't you come and greet the young master?"
Big Liu and the six men hurried out of the house, followed closely by Tian Lin and Little Liu.
At this moment, there were corpses lying all over the ground outside the house. Tian Lin couldn't imagine that at the beginning, these corpses were still living people with high spirits, and they were still masters who could stand on their own in the martial arts world.
Now one of these masters was having his arm removed by a young man and was teasing the big black dog.
"It's been such a short time since we last met, Dahei has lost weight."
The young man in blue squatted in front of the big black dog, cut off a human ear with a dagger, and put it close to the big black dog's mouth.
The big black dog rolled up its tongue and put the human ear into its mouth, then carefully licked the young man's hand.
"Master, I am innocent. I have not lacked Grandpa Xiaohei's meat in the past month. Whenever someone died, I immediately left him in the back mountain without any delay."
Manager Xu was terrified and complained to the young man, who then smiled and said:
"It seems that the meat of ordinary people is not delicious. Xiao Hei prefers the meat of the second-rate and first-rate masters in the martial arts world."
After saying this, the young man stood up, touched the big black dog's head and said, "What do you think, Xiao Hei?"
The big black dog couldn't speak, but could only make coquettish sounds from its throat, with its tail wagging from side to side.
