Only My Way
#58 - The little troubles in life
It was early morning.
About ten kilometers north of Five Tea Town, there was a place called Black Rock Mountain.
Inside the mining camp.
Ling Wuyuan, who was already over 1.6 meters tall, stood in the camp, observing the third floor of the watchtower.
He leaned against the railing, silently surveying the workers below as they gradually entered the mine to begin their work.
The vast majority of them were adult men over thirty years old who needed to support their families.
There were few young people in their teens or twenties.
Because young people generally had high aspirations.
So naturally, they didn't want to spend all day in the mine digging.
Even if the wages here were relatively high.
Compared to doing such purely manual labor.
They preferred to do technical work that was easier and had more prospects.
Or simply join a force to practice martial arts.
However.
Whether it was learning technical skills or joining various gangs, it was very difficult for ordinary people.
Working in a factory tightening screws was the fate of most people…
Therefore.
Since successfully graduating from the gang's training ground and being assigned here to manage the miners.
Ling Wuyuan had long been accustomed to seeing the expressions of disappointment and resignation on those people's faces.
He was also accustomed to seeing the proud newcomers forced to go down into the mine to dig for ore in order to have money to eat.
Life is full of disappointments.
The helplessness and sadness of the world are nothing more than this.
Not long after.
A somewhat outgoing fellow slowly approached Ling Wuyuan.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties.
As a formal member of the White Crow Gang.
He, like Ling Wuyuan, was also one of the managers of this mining camp.
After seeing Ling Wuyuan, the man immediately asked with a smile:
"Hey, Ling Wuyuan, you seem to be almost fifteen years old, right?"
Without turning his head.
Ling Wuyuan calmly replied:
"Yes, fourteen is almost halfway over."
"Indeed, almost fifteen years old."
Yeah.
He had been in this world for almost ten years.
Thinking of this.
Ling Wuyuan's mood was slightly fluctuating.
Although it had been a long time.
But occasionally.
He would still recall some of the things he experienced in his previous life.
However.
The frequency of that situation was decreasing.
He understood that he was gradually integrating into this world…
The past was long gone…
And hearing his answer.
The middle-aged man immediately smiled and continued to ask:
"Are you interested in women now?"
"Do you want me to introduce you to a wife or something?"
"I have a distant niece who is really very good-looking, and I think you are very good, not messing around, talented, and very mature and stable, really a good match…"
While speaking.
The other party also carefully looked at Ling Wuyuan for a while.
Although his age was still a bit young, his facial features and body had already developed to a certain extent.
Whether he would be ugly or handsome in the future could be clearly seen now, and it was impossible for him to suddenly grow awry.
Sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes?
A face like jade?
Because his cultural level was not high.
He could only read and write.
The man couldn't quite describe Ling Wuyuan's actual appearance.
But to be honest.
Looking at the other party's cold and unsmiling face, with skin as clean and white as expensive jade.
He felt that among the people he had seen in his life, in terms of appearance, no one could compare to Ling Wuyuan.
Even though Ling Wuyuan's appearance had not fully developed, there was still a lot of room for improvement in his looks.
But even so, even counting the many guys in the White Crow Gang, and the wealthy and noble people he had seen in Black Stone City who lived in luxury every day, the man still didn't think anyone was more handsome than Ling Wuyuan at this moment.
The man even felt that if Ling Wuyuan hadn't been transferred here and hadn't returned to the White Crow Gang's headquarters, he might have been taken a fancy to by the daughter or granddaughter of some high-level official, and it was impossible for him to stay in this remote place to manage a mine.
However.
Even so.
As the people in the mining camp occasionally returned to the White Crow Gang's headquarters to brag to their friends, Ling Wuyuan gradually gained some fame in the White Crow Gang.
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
Some useless fame.
【Have you heard?】
【There's a manager at the Black Rock Mountain mining camp who seems to be damn handsome!】
【My friend directly said that that guy is definitely the most handsome person in the entire White Crow Gang!】
To be honest.
Ling Wuyuan felt that this kind of fame was really unnecessary…
But contrary to his wishes.
Although he didn't want this kind of fame.
He still couldn't help but be brought up by other guys when they were bragging outside, specifically using him to increase everyone's topics…
And at this moment.
Facing this unsolicited male matchmaker, although Ling Wuyuan didn't have any expression on his face, seemingly as indifferent as ever, the feeling of pain in his heart couldn't help but arise.
However, as the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and the other party was really doing it out of kindness.
Ling Wuyuan naturally couldn't put on a stinky face.
He could only politely refuse:
"No need, no need, I think it's more important for young people to work hard at cultivation."
However, the other party was obviously not going to be persuaded so easily.
"Oh, how can you say that?"
"Career is good, but family also needs to be taken care of!"
"Besides, didn't you already reach the [Body Refining Realm] last year?"
"This kind of talent and strength can be completely called a genius and have a great future…"
"You have to believe me, my distant niece is really very good-looking…"
It took a long time.
Ling Wuyuan finally managed to get the other party to leave.
"Okay then…"
"If you change your mind, remember to tell me…"
Looking at the other party's slowly departing figure.
Ling Wuyuan sighed helplessly.
He understood that as his reputation gradually spread by those guys who liked to brag everywhere, if there were no accidents, this situation would definitely become more and more frequent in the future.
For a time.
He was even more sincerely in pain.
'Or else, I should find a chance to leave the gang…'
"Anyway, my strength and body have already developed to a certain extent…"
But then again.
Thinking that he was actually escaping the gang because there were too many matchmakers coming to propose marriage.
He felt that things were really a bit embarrassing from the bottom of his heart.
If others asked about it in the future.
How should he open his mouth?
This was more or less a bit awkward…
There was no way.
He still wanted some face…
Just like that.
At this moment, he finally chose to silently look up at the sky, and once again helplessly sighed slowly…
