“Is this the earth meat?”
Looking at the thing that looked like a piece of fat meat growing out of the cracks in the rocks, Xu Lian felt that it was similar to the meat Tai Sui, and asked curiously, "What do the higher-ups need this thing for?"
Han Du shook his head, "This is a spiritual object used by practitioners. We ordinary people don't understand it. I only know that no matter how much silver you spend, you can't buy it. I heard that you need a stone that contains spiritual energy to buy such a spiritual object."
The two men held sharp knives in their hands and stayed here without moving, waiting for the people above to arrive. If the news leaked out and the things were stolen, they would be responsible, so they did not dare to be careless at all.
Fortunately, the news was blocked in time and no accidents occurred. After waiting for less than half an hour, a white shadow shuttled through the bushes and appeared in front of the two in the blink of an eye.
Only then could I see clearly that it was a white fox.
Han Du's expression became serious, and he bowed quickly, "I pay my respects to the Mine Inspector."
Xu Lian also followed suit and bowed, but he was wondering in his heart whether this white fox was the same one he met last time... When people look at animals, it's just like animals look at people, it's hard to tell.
The white fox said in a clear voice, "Dig it out."
When Han Du was about to start digging, Xu Lian suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait."
Han Du's face changed. What was he doing
The white fox was also stunned and looked at Xu Lian with strange eyes.
Xu Lian explained, "I have a question. Suppose a white fox passes by me, and after a while, another white fox passes by me. How can I be sure whether it is the same one?"
Judging from the voice of this white fox, its lively eyes, and its coquettish posture, it was very similar to the one he encountered last time, but he still couldn't be completely sure.
Han Du frowned and said, "Brother Xu, are you going to die? You are questioning the mine inspector."
Xu Lian bowed to the white fox again and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Mining Inspector. I just want to make sure everything is safe. If the impostor takes the ground meat, I will be responsible. This concerns my life and property, so I have to be careful."
The white fox looked at him with approval, "Very good, I was right about you. You are cautious and you are worth using."
Han Du was stunned. Instead of being angry, the mine inspector seemed to appreciate Xu Lian's style of doing things
The white fox said to Xu Lian, "You don't need to worry about me being impersonated. Green Bamboo Town is the territory of our Yi Sect. No one dares to impersonate me. Even if I am really impersonated and the earth meat is taken away, you will not be punished, because the impostor has such ability, which means that his strength is far beyond yours. How can my Yi Sect blame you?"
Green Bamboo Town is the territory of the Yi Sect
Xu Lian's eyes flashed. From this sentence, he could tell that Yi Jiao was the boss of Green Bamboo Town, not the night watchman and the three wealthy families.
He had a clue in his mind, and quickly said, "I understand."
He worked together with Handu to carefully dig out the ground meat growing in the cracks of the rocks, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, and placed it in front of the white fox.
The white fox nimbly tied a knot around the wrapped ground meat with its two little paws, then stood up, picked it up and put it on its back, like a kindergarten kid carrying a "big schoolbag".
It's so small, I'm really worried that it will be crushed by such a big piece of meat... Xu Lian thought silently in his heart, knowing that such worry is unnecessary, a foxy girl who can speak human language must be very powerful.
The white fox turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to remember something and looked back at Xu Lian, "The higher-ups want to increase the output of ground meat and plan to open up some new quarries. I will appoint you to be in charge of a quarry, do a good job."
Xu Lian bowed and said, "Thank you for your training, Mine Inspector."
The white fox didn't say anything more and went into the bushes, like a white shadow, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Han Du wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Brother Xu, you scared me just now!"
"Brother Han, don't be too nervous in front of the Mine Patrol. The Mine Patrol is not an unreasonable person."
The last time Xu Lian met the White Fox Mine Patrolman, they had some conversation. He probably knew that the White Fox Mine Patrolman was not a violent and ferocious person, so he dared to bring up the idea of "real and fake white fox".
Han Du smiled bitterly, "The Mine Patrol is a practitioner of the Yi religion. He can crush me to death with just a move of his claws. I dare not do that."
Speaking of practitioners, Xu Lian remembered the python tendons he had placed in his grain bag. He would advance and improve his strength soon.
Han Du said, "Congratulations, Brother Xu, you are now in charge of a mine on your own so soon."
"Although I have only been with Brother Han for a few days, thanks to his care, I am reluctant to leave this mine."
Xu Lian asked him for advice on his experience in managing a mine.
Han Du asked the kitchen staff to bring wine and food, and the two of them ate and chatted.
Han Du shared his own experience, "The most important thing is the blood sacrifice. As long as the blood sacrifice is done well, other things don't matter. To put it bluntly, those of us who are in charge are like local tyrants in the mines. We can get any woman we want and kill anyone we want. We can make money and food without any worries and put them in our pockets. The higher-ups don't care about these worldly money at all, they only care about the meat."
Xu Lian felt a headache. He had to prepare a "death list" like Handu, and create accidents every now and then to kill the working miners and complete the blood sacrifice. Is this a human thing to do
Although he is not a good person, he would not do such a cruel thing.

However, if he does not do this, the blood sacrifice cannot be completed, and his superiors will definitely hold him accountable and replace him with someone who is willing to do such a thing. What should he do
This is forcing him to kill people.
"Has the mine inspector come yet?"
The trusted supervisor who came back hurriedly on a fast horse was covered in sweat.
Handu smiled and poured him a bowl of wine and threw him a piece of meat as a reward, "I've been here and have taken the meat away."
Xu Lianxin calculated the time. The white fox had been gone for a while after collecting the meat. The supervisor who had gone on a fast horse to report the news had just returned. It was obvious that the white fox was much faster than a horse.
The three chatted for a while, and as it was getting dark, they prepared to go home. There was some unfinished wine and meat on the table, which Xu Lian and the supervisor shared. Han Du did not take any. He had been a manager for more than ten years, and his family was already wealthy, so he didn't need any more.
Xu Lian rode his horse with wine and meat to a deserted place, stopped, and began to improve his strength.
Added python tendons and advanced successfully.
Just like the last time when he added the cowhide, the python tendons turned to ashes. He suddenly felt warm all over, and his muscles seemed to be strengthened, as if filled with explosive power. He couldn't help but punch a tree trunk as big as a bowl, and it broke with a "crack".
