Chapter 10 A motherless child is like a grass
In the evening, the sky was covered by black fog, and there was only a little light in the setting sun.
Bai Mu dug coal for a day and returned to the ground from the hole. His face was black and black, like a small coal ball, and his palms were broken and bleeding. But he didn't shout bitterly or tired. Kris was not around, so he must be strong.
A child without a mother is like a lonely grass, and can only face the wind and rain on his own...
Chris was also in her teens and had no parents, but she was very strong. With her hands, her hard work and her efforts, she had ruined all the wealth left by her parents.
When Bai Mu was washing his hands, he gritted his teeth and his hands broke the skin. He used to be bitten by dogs, cats, rats, poisonous snakes, spiders, stinged by scorpions, stinged by poisonous bees, milking and kicked the shoulder blades by a stupid cow. He broke his ribs and his shin bones before fighting with Tornio, and his shin was also cracked. He did not shout a pain.
What's the pain now?
It was almost dark, and the miners who had been tired for a day sat at the entrance of the cave and waited for dinner.
There are more than 1,200 miners in the No. 362 mining area, divided into many sections. Bai Mu was assigned to the most dangerous and hard-working underground coal mining team. Their three meals were delivered by Venus, the mine flower in the No. 362 mining area.
In the setting sun, Venus came with the dining cart.
The miners cheered and greeted him. Their goddess finally came. Bai Mu looked at Venus and sighed from the depths of his soul. Venus's appearance can only be described as [like rain, like fog and like wind]. She is the wife of the foreman of the underground coal mining team in Mining Area No. 362. The reason why she can become a mine flower is that she is the only woman in Mining Area No. 362...
Venus, who was with a tiger back and bear waist, swung the iron spoon and knocked on the dining cart, shouting fiercely: "You group of pigs are all lined up for me."
The miners lined up laughing and lined up. All the miners who were making meals in front praised Venus for being beautiful. It was soon Bai Mu's turn to get the meals. A mine behind him reminded: "Xiaobai, is Venus very beautiful?"
Bai Mu said unyieldingly: "Are you blind?"
“(¬_¬)”
The miners sighed together, what a fool!
Venus snorted coldly, put a piece of rice cake into Bai Mu's plate, and then put a large iron spoon into the meat pot and snatched it. A large spoonful of meat slices were so greedy that Bai Mu was almost drooling. Is there so much meat? Who knew that Venus's hand suddenly shook, and half a spoonful of meat slices flew out, and then shook again, and then many pieces of meat slices flew out, and finally scooped it into Bai Mu's plate with only one piece of meat left...
No more or less, just a small piece of meat.
Venus was arrogant: "Next."
Bai Mu was about to express his dissatisfaction when a miner who had already cooked food walked up, covered Bai Mu's little mouth, and pulled him away with a smile. They had to do heavy work every day and had no strength to eat meat, so they must not offend the cook.
Several miners who were old enough to be Bai Mu's father surrounded him and said with a smile: "Come on, Xiaobai, let's share some of your meat."
Bai Mu shook his head stubbornly: "I don't want it. Chris said that we only accept gifts, not alms."
The miner nicknamed "Glasses" smiled clearly. Xiaobai's mother was obviously aristocratic. He said meaningfully: "Xiaobai, sometimes, if you put away your cheap backbone, you can walk smoother in your life."
"When you encounter a puddle on the road, you don't have to step over it, you can also go around it."
"You have to learn to be smooth."
The miners in Blackstone Mountain were all exiled criminals by Western countries. Before they became miners, none of them were honest men. The miners were teaching Bai Mu every word and every word, and they knew that Bai Mu had only his mother since he was a child. They were not boys who discriminated against women and taught them to be older, but there were some things that women could not teach...
Bai Mu chewed it slowly and ate the unique piece of meat. He didn't expect the meat to be so delicious. But happiness was only a short moment. He picked up the brown rice cake that did not add sugar or salt and tasted it. It didn't taste much. It was neither delicious nor bad, but it could fill his stomach.
"What a big spider."
Bai Mu heard someone exclaiming on the side, turned his head and found that there was a black spider with a fist that had crawled over from somewhere. His eyes lit up, he jumped forward and stepped on the spider to death, skillfully picked off the spider's head, squeezed out the spider's internal organs, ran to the coal fire that boiled water, picked up a branch that caused the fire, and skewed the spider and roasted it...
"Xiaobai, what are you doing?"
"Grilled spider."
"What do you do for roasting spiders?"
"eat."
“(⊙_⊙)”
The miners felt sad and glanced at Venus with resentment, seeing that the child wanted to eat spiders?
Everyone stepped forward to snatch Bai Mu's spider away, threw it away, and scolded: "You don't want to live? The spider is poisonous."
Bai Mu struggled to pick it up: "This kind of black spider is not poisonous. I have already taken off my head and baked it very fragrant. Chris and I used to eat spiders."
Eating spiders often? The miners were so sad that they were almost crying. Was Xiaobai's life so hard before?
Bai Mu tilted his head. Is it strange to eat spiders? He and Chris once took a mercenary mission to go to the wetland to dig someone's ancestral grave. They were trapped by the magic circle of the mechanism for half a month. They survived by eating spiders in the tomb chamber.
Venus's husband is the foreman who sent Bai Mu over. She knows a little bit about Bai Mu's situation. It's really not easy for an orphan and widowed mother. She originally wanted to punish the rebellious boy a little, but she didn't expect the little guy to catch a spider and eat it?
Venus felt so guilty that his eyes turned red. He tried to pretend to be expressionless, scooped a large spoonful of meat, walked to Bai Mu, and scolded, "I give you meat, no spiders are allowed."
Bai Mu was stunned: "Thank you, thank you."
"Where is your bowl?"
Sam, who had almost been cut off a piece of butt by Bai Mu, brought a bowl and gave Bai Mu a wink. Bai Mu understood it, and his dark little face showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Venus is the most beautiful."
Venus's fleshy face could not be held back, and a smile that could not be hidden from his mouth was overflowing, but he deliberately pretended to be fierce: "I am not sympathizing with you, nor do I pity you, but I am just afraid that you will not be able to eat enough, have no energy to work, and the amount of mine output does not meet the standards, so you can just be punished by yourself, and you will still drag my man down."
"I understand, I will try not to hold everyone back."
In fact, Bai Mu didn't know that his mining volume on the first day was far from meeting the standards. All the miners who did not restore their freedom were slaves and had corresponding tasks every day. Bai Mu was young and had received some preferential treatment, but he still did not meet the standards. Everyone sympathized with him as a child, so they silently even out some mine trucks and labeled them as Bai Mu.
When Sam was holding the bowl, he saw his broken skin and bleeding palms, and frowned: "Eat quickly, after eating, I will take you to find Old Man Mo."
"Who is Old Man Mo? Why did you take me to find him?"
"He is considered a doctor in our mining area. If your hands are not covered with medicine, you will not be able to work tomorrow."
Bai Mu nodded obediently, feeling aroused in his heart, remembering what his mother said, there are many bad people in the world, but there are also many kind people. Kind people are as precious as gold. You must learn to cherish and love every kind person...
