Chapter 1208 Big Event (First update, please subscribe)
Luo Yuan was moving a lot of his things on a canvas hammock with a mosquito net. Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed over the woods to the east. The lightning paused for a while, outlining the primeval forest and mountains.
"This damn place..."
Luo Yuan was smoking a cigarette, cursing the virgin forest and mountains around him. He once again asked himself why he took on such a job.
If he analyzed it carefully, he would have to admit that he could not live anywhere else. There was no place he could live in the Ming Dynasty. He was not suitable for city life because the rules and regulations and various systems and laws there made him feel uncomfortable.
Not happy.
Like all geological exploration personnel, they sometimes love and sometimes hate the field exploration life. But Luo Yuan had to admit that after ten years in the field, he has fallen in love with it. Over the years, he can't live without it.
Prescribe malaria, strong liquor and countless insect bites.
He came from Xuzhou in 1867, when he was 17 years old. Like many immigrants who were adults or close to being members, he stayed in the new immigrant camp for half a year. Half a year later, he served as a soldier in the army for three years.
In the second year after the establishment of the empire, he retired from the army and received a pension, but he did not enter the farm or factory.
With the help of the employment agency, he became a security guard for the geological exploration team. In the following ten years, he followed the geological exploration team throughout the Ming Dynasty and even to Africa.
The income from field exploration is high and the expenses are very small. Although he has not made a fortune, he has accumulated a lot of property. Just six months ago, Luo Yuan resigned from the exploration team and acquired a small tin mining mine in Ecuador.
The concession - this small mine is his reward for ten years of living in the wild. This tin mine is not big, and it is the kind of small mine that the company looks down upon and abandons it.
However, Luo Yuan fell in love with this tin mine. Tin is very expensive now and the price is expected to rise.
In the past six months, Luo Yuan has worked side by side with local indigenous workers. Now the tin mine has taken shape, and the sound of wind cannons can be heard from time to time in the mine.
At this time, Liang Li, whose face was dusty, came over and said with a smile.
"Boss Luo, look, this is freshly mined ore, and it's of very high grade!"
Liang Li handed the ore to the boss and said.
"After the mine is invested, in one year at most, Boss Luo, you can enjoy fine wine and beautiful women in Quito."
"I just don't have money. Anyone who speaks Chinese in Quito has endless amounts of wine to drink and beautiful women to sleep with!"
It's true. With just good wine or beautiful women, any Chinese can easily lead a successful life in Quito, without any need for money.
Why?
Because the empire is powerful enough!
I don’t know how many local women are eager to marry people from the Ming Dynasty and live a better life in the Ming Dynasty. It’s hard to take it easy.
But unlike others, Luo Yuan liked the wilderness and the Indians. Of course, the only thing that annoyed him was that the Indian workers were always lazy and sometimes even wanted to yell at him or even slap him.
Only then would he go to work. Of course, most of the time he would sit with them drinking victory wine and chatting about strange things in the tribe.
Going to Quito to enjoy life?
To be honest, Luo Yuan really never thought about it.
Although he had not thought about it, when Captain Xu of the exploration team told him the location of the tin mine, he told him that his tin mining concession period was twenty years. After fifteen years, he could transfer the mining concession to
If he sells it to a mining company, he can use the money to enjoy life in the city, or as a senior employee of a mining company, he can live a life that many people envy.
However, Luo Yuan never thought of going that far. He was less than forty years old, with a tall build, extraordinary arm strength, and a body as strong as an ox. Years of working in the field for many years had left his skin tanned.
"Let's wait until we build the road to the mine first. By the way, where's Accountant Xu? What's going on with the loan negotiations at the bank!"
While talking, Luo Yuan put out his cigarette on the damp ground under the hammock, and then he played with the ore. In the past ten years, he has not seen similar ores. Every time an ore is discovered, the exploration team members
They were all very excited. He still remembered the scene when the team members excitedly fired into the air when they discovered the coal mine in Bechuanaland.
"I'm stuck here!"
Liang Li was surprised by the boss's soliloquy.
"Boss? What did you say?"
After that, he grabbed his hair and put on the rattan safety helmet. Just when Luo Yuan was about to walk towards the mine, something strange in the distance suddenly made him pick up the rifle and blow the whistle.
Whistling, he led several Indian guards to look at the mountain crossing with vigilance, and Liang Li also looked there nervously.
Soon, with a messy sound of hoofbeats, two horses came into his sight. Riding on the horses, Indy was shouting in stiff Chinese from a distance.
"Boss, boss, there are robbers, there are robbers..."
It was Accountant Xu and the others who entered the city together with Alcaro. Luo Yuan hurriedly greeted him and asked.
"Where are Accountant Xu and the others?"
"They, they were stopped by robbers on their way here!"
"What! Where is it? Quick, bring the horse over!"
Without a trace of hesitation, Luo Yuan jumped on his horse, took several guards from the mine, and ran along the mountain road to the outside of the mountain under the guidance of Alkalo.
After almost an hour, two dead horses came into their sight. When they were still about ten meters away, Luo Yuan stopped the horse. His eyes were astonished. He looked at the scene on the roadside and couldn't believe it.
Can believe his eyes.
"Am I fooling him..."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Yuan suddenly stopped talking. He jumped off his horse and stared at the corpses on the ground - three corpses, one belonged to Accountant Xu and two were Indians. Without exception, they were all lying down.
On the ground, hands on either side of head.
"What the hell..."
Luo Yuan suddenly felt a fire rising in his heart.
This is not murder!
This is execution!
Yes, all three of them had their necks cut with knives and their throats cut. This is a typical Indian way of killing captives.
But don’t those damn guys know that Accountant Xu is Mingren?
Feeling angry in his heart, Luo Yuan shouted loudly.
"Arcaro, what is going on?"
"I...Boss, we don't know either. On the way here, we encountered bandits. There were many of them. Accountant Xu asked me to go back and deliver the letter..."
Hearing this, Luo Yuan stared at the body on the ground with an angry look on his face and said loudly.
"Carlos, go back and get the camera. You protect the scene. I will be in Quito and the embassy in a moment. No matter what, I will find justice for them..."
