MTL - After the Big Guy Wears the Abusive Text-Chapter 72 fairy woman
"Look up." The man said that his vocal cords seemed to have suffered some damage, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, causing goose bumps on the back.
"Where is this..." she asked in a trembling voice.
Ye Youqing's own voice is not shrill, but clear and soft.
.
The thigh hurts like being hit by a boulder, Ye Youqing couldn't help but let out a groan, and covered his leg slightly sideways.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man grin and sneer, then turned and left the hole.
Only then did she let go of her body and sat up with her hands on the wet ground, her thighs hurt as if they were pierced by hundreds of needles. bruises.
Seeing the man leave, the man who had shrunk in the corner just now crawled over half-kneeling and said in a soft voice, "Brother, don't be afraid, I have hidden medicine here."
Speaking, he began to take off his clothes and rummaged, Ye Youqing hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold his arm and shook his head.
The man looked at her, sighed, and then sat down beside her: "You don't have to work on your first day, you can rest for a day and recharge your batteries. Come here. You don’t have to think about escaping, instead of being beaten to death, it’s better to live in peace…”
"Who is he?" Ye Youqing interrupted his ramble.
The man was stunned for a moment and pointed to the entrance of the cave: "You mean the second king?"
"Two kings?" Ye Youqing asked suspiciously.
It's like a mouse meeting a cat."
"Then why is it called the second king, and there are other leaders in this cottage?" Ye Youqing asked.
"How do I know, I just heard people call the second king, so they also call it, you just need to be calm, you won't see him on weekdays." The man shook his head.
Ye Youqing nodded slightly, pondered for a while, and then said like a small talk: "Your leg was interrupted when you escaped?"
"That won't work." The man smiled and showed his white teeth, "This leg was broken when I was young, and it has been suffering from the root of the disease, and it hurts once a month. This is not the case today. It was so painful that I couldn’t walk, so I still bribed the guards with the rations I saved, so I could rest.”
"The people who are usually **** are either crying or screaming to leave. You little brother looks weak, but you have a lot of courage." The man limped and stumbled to her around.
It seems that he hasn't met someone who can talk to each other for a long time, and his words are too dense.
"What's the use of crying." Ye Youqing was perfunctory.
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "My father said the same."
There was no one outside, so Ye Youqing retreated into the cave, intending to tell more about the man who talked a lot. The man was optimistic and smiling. He was locked in this place for two years. He still talks incessantly.
Soon, Ye Youqing figured out what it was.
In the depths of the caves extending in all directions, there are several huge underground mines. It is said that only the tip of the iceberg has been mined. good.
"We go down to mine every day, and then transport the ore back to the ground. After that, we will not know." The man said while shaking his head.
Ye Youqing, who silently listened to his words, was already in shock.
She thought about kidnapping men only for labor, and briefly thought about what kind of conspiracy would require so much labor, and now the truth just confirms her guess.
It's still jaw-dropping.
"Surprise? I was also very surprised when I saw it for the first time. Weizhou is located in a remote place with mountains on both sides. To outsiders, it looks like a barbaric border town. Beneath the mountains where people set foot, there will be so many iron ore, and they are all high-quality profound stones." The man said with an excited expression.
"No one knows that there are ore here?" Ye Youqing asked.
The man shook his head: "I never heard of it before I was kidnapped, not to mention that the people here live and work in peace and contentment, and no one will go into the mountains to mine, right?"
"Then do you know if there is a place for burning iron nearby?" Ye Youqing rubbed his chin and asked again.
"No, I heard from others that they only mine, and all the ore produced is secretly sold elsewhere." The man replied.
Ye Youqing reached out and tapped lightly on the wall to calm the shock.
The iron cavalry, who was victorious in every battle and was sought by the emperor and all walks of life, now hides in the barren mountains and ridges as a bandit, and also starts a mining business.
It would be unimaginable if this matter were not so obvious.
Fortunately, knowing that they did not do any business of killing people, crossing goods, and trafficking in people, Ye Youqing's heart became calmer, but she didn't know whether the so-called second king was an iron cavalry person or not. Years have passed, will these people still obey the orders of a token.
Ye Youqing leaned her body against the damp and cold wall and let her mind rest.
Seeing that the man on the side didn't speak for a long time, he couldn't help it, so he cautiously spoke again: "Little brother, look at your fair skin, shouldn't you be a native of Weizhou?"
"Luoyang people came to Weizhou to find relatives." Ye Youqing replied.
"Luoyang?" The man's eyes brightened, he suddenly sat up straight, and asked in a low voice, "Then do you know..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a series of footsteps, and the man immediately retracted into the corner like a conditioned reflex, and curled himself into a ball.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Ye Youqing pressed her back against the wall and looked at the entrance of the hole defensively. After a while, a man in black came and looked into the hole Look, bang to drop something.
Looking through the weak light, it can be seen that it is a stone chisel.
There is fresh air flowing in the cave.
The top of the head is rough rock, low and depressed, and there are some torches on the walls in and outside the pit to provide basic lighting.
The pit was full of people's heads, and I saw dozens of men sweating with axes and chisels, the clanging sound was deafening.
"Old Qi, here comes the newcomer!" The guard with Ye Youqing shouted, then pushed Ye Youqing forward, the ground was full of gravel, Ye Youqing Slip a few times before standing still.
"That's you?" The shirtless middle-aged man called Lao Qi was slender, with a beard hanging down to his chest, almost mingling with the hair on his chest, looking at it from bottom to top Ye Youqing.
Ye Youqing did not speak, but nodded.
"Take things well, and see what others do." After Lao Qi finished speaking, he pushed Ye Youqing again, this time directly pushing her into a one-person-high pit, thanks to Ye Yuqing's eyes and hands quickly fell to the ground with his legs, so he wasn't hurt.
The people at the bottom of the pit didn't even look at her, they just waved the utensils in their hands mechanically. Someone pushed Ye Youqing aside with their shoulders, with a hoarse voice: "Don't get in the way."
At a glance, it is obvious that it is numb due to long-term labor.
It seems that all the people here are captives or passers-by.
"What are you doing?" Lao Qi's voice came from overhead, and then another person was pushed down the pit, "You two are newcomers, take care of each other, we won't be here today. If you dig enough three cars, all the people in this pit will have nothing to eat!"
Watching Lao Qi walk away, Ye Youqing breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"
It was Shili who was pushed down just now. She took the chisel in her hand to symbolically dig the ground twice, and also lowered her voice: "It's okay, here..."
"It's a mine. It turns out that the missing people in Weizhou City were tied here to work as coolies." Ye Youqing said concisely.
Sili's eyes widened, and after looking around, he was surprised: "But what did the cavalry do?"
"There are iron cavalry guards, but there should be not many. I don't know where the rest are, and I don't know if someone else is controlling the iron cavalry." Ye Youqing said, in a low voice Tell the news from the man one by one.
Yuqing said, picked up the chisel and hammer, and smashed it on the ground like a decent.
At this time, there was a commotion on the top of the head, and I saw Lao Qi was pinching someone's ear, strode out of the hole, and scolded: "You kid is lazy all day, today's guards need Check, you hide in the hole and don't work, do you want to have another leg broken by them!"
Before Ye Youqing raised her head, the man who was talking to her in the cave just now was thrown down. Fortunately, Shili on the side reached out and grabbed his arm, which prevented him from rolling down.
"Old Qi, you can't be light!" The man stood up and shouted at the top of his head, but in exchange for a few chisels that fell to the ground.
The man muttered a few more words, then bent down to pick up the chisel, but saw Ye Youqing's face clearly, and said excitedly: "Little brother!"
Ye Youqing nodded at him and pointed up: "Who is that person?"
"The man laughed.
"Who are you?" Shili suddenly pulled him, forcing the man to face him, his willow-shaped eyes that had never changed his face scrutinized.
The man was startled, and looked at Ye Youqing a little bewildered.
Seeing the man panicked, Ye Youqing patted Shili's hand, but Shili didn't see anything, so he released his hand.
The man hurriedly hid behind Ye Youqing: "What happened to this brother, it's terrifying."
"What's your surname?" Shili suddenly asked, in a rather aggressive tone.
"The surname is Chi, just call me, Achi." The man was a little panicked, hiding behind Ye Youqing and couldn't come out.
Ye Youqing looked at Shili inquiringly, Shili shook his head, and said softly, "I saw the wrong person."
New arrivals always have guards by the side to prevent them from escaping, so for the next three days, in order to reduce the guards' vigilance, Ye Youqing pretended to be working honestly and did not do anything else .
On the fourth day, the guard who had been guarding the entrance of the cave disappeared, and Ye Youqing was ready to secretly explore.
Just before she could start to act, she heard a few gongs, Lao Qi stood above his head with his hips on his hips, and shouted into the pit: "Xiaojiu Xiaoshi, come out!"
Ye Youqing glanced at Shili next to him, climbed up the pit vigilantly, and stood in front of Lao Qi.
Old Qi's management is not very strict, Ye Youqing is not hurt or tired, but there is no water to bathe and stand in a pit full of dust all day, Ye Youqing and Shili are both A look of escape.
"Look at your body!" Lao Qi said angrily, blowing his beard, "I didn't dig out two pieces all morning!"
Ye Youqing lowered her head and did not speak.
"Okay, come with me." Lao Qi turned around angrily and brought them to a guard who was dressed in black with a hideous scar running across his left face. The gangsters thrown under the city walls at night.
Fortunately, he didn't recognize them, only looked at them seriously, nodded and said, "Just these two, plus the one with the broken leg, it should be enough."
Ye Youqing rubbed his fingertips in his sleeves a few times, and said softly, "Where are you taking us?"
Several people silently walked through the tortuous passage to the entrance of the hole where two men in black stood, only to hear one of them stopped them and asked with a smile, "Where is this taking them?"
Hearing the words, the guard with scars looked much more relaxed, shook his head and replied: "Yesterday the two kings brought back a woman from the city. It is said that she looks like a fairy, so I was so fascinated by the two kings that they specially hosted a banquet, but that The woman is too timid, and she said that the brother next to the second king looked frightened and scared, but which of our brothers did not have a few scars on their faces?"
"No, the second king asked me to pick a few of these people who are not ugly, and wait by my side first."
