"I must have fallen asleep. That medicine can even kill a cow, let alone a human being."
"Hehe, that girl is so good-looking. This gives us an advantage."
"That man is not bad, he just went to the mine to do some work."
Jiang Yao was held in Ji Huaiye's arms, her ears pricked up, listening to the movement outside the door.
She keenly captured several key words.
Obviously, Cheng Ergen is very skilled at doing this kind of thing.
If she were a woman, she would probably be ruined.
If he is a man, he is thrown into the mine.
On the mine...
There is a mine in Black Rock Village.
Ji Huaiye said that Mrs. Plum Blossom's wealth, which is unparalleled in the country, may have come from Black Stone Village.
Could it be that there is a gold mine in Black Rock Village?
The more Jiang Yao thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Ji Huaiye stood up, and Jiang Yao followed suit. The two of them moved very quickly.
Ji Huaiye came to the window and quietly opened it.
Jiang Yao immediately jumped out of the window, followed closely by Ji Huaiye.
As soon as Ji Huaiye closed the window, the door was pushed open and several footsteps were heard.
"Little lady, I'm coming!"
It seemed like a person jumped towards the bed, and then jumped into the air.
"Damn it, everyone is gone!"
Soon, the lights in the room came on.
Those people searched angrily and cursed.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye had already left the house and ran in one direction.
As I walked, the soil under my feet was extremely muddy, making walking a little difficult.
However, with Jiang Yao's skills, there is actually no problem.
But when Ji Huaiye stretched out his hand, Jiang Yao still put his hand on it.
Ji Huaiye held her hand tightly, it was dry and hot.
Jiang Yao felt particularly safe.
In the past, she was a loner, walking alone.
However, this feeling of being protected is not bad.
Especially, that person is Ji Huaiye.
Click.
Jiang Yao made a sound as if she stepped on something.
Jiang Yao looked down and looked at that thing in the moonlight, her expression suddenly changed.
Those are bones!
Under her feet was a pile of bones!
Countless bones, each one is a living person.
It represents countless people who were buried here.
Those who entered Blackstone Village by mistake, or were villagers from Blackstone Village, may have died here silently.
The night wind blew by, making a whistling sound, like the cry of a dead soul, miserable and deserted.
Jiang Yao felt depressed and uncomfortable.
She hurriedly came out of the pile of bones, silently thinking about her offense against the dead souls.
Soon, the whole village knew that Ji Huaiye and Jiang Yao were missing, and all the villagers came out and started searching.
The road down the mountain has also been blocked.
As for Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye, with their skills, they could actually force their way down the mountain.
However, neither of them wanted to give up just like that.
No one has found it yet, and the mine has not been found either.
Leaving like this is tantamount to returning without success.
Therefore, Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye did not choose to go down the mountain.
The two of them were hiding around the village.
The villagers all held torches, there were too many people.
No matter how cautious Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye are, they will inevitably bump into someone.
Seeing people in front and behind, suddenly, a hand grabbed Jiang Yao and pulled her over.
Ji Huaiye also followed.
The man pulled them into an alley, avoiding the pursuit of the two groups just now.
Jiang Yao quickly recognized the person in front of her as the father of the child yesterday.
The father took Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye into a rundown courtyard.
"There is a dry well here, you go down and hide." The man said in a low voice.
Ji Huaiye glanced around, and there were people searching for them everywhere...
He immediately made a choice: "I'll go down and take a look first."
After saying that, he jumped into the well, and with some help, he landed at the bottom of the well.
"Yao Yao, come down."
When Jiang Yao heard Ji Huaiye's voice, she also turned over and fell from the mouth of the well.
Before he even touched the ground, he was hugged by a hand around his waist and held to the ground.
Ji Huaiye lit the fire tongue and illuminated the surrounding area.
This underground space is dilapidated and quite large.
The man above was stunned for a moment, then he climbed down slowly, climbing on the well rope.
Ji Huaiye heard footsteps and put out the fire tongue.
After a while, I heard people talking.
"Search here and see if you can find it!"
Searched for a while.
"No! Let's go and look elsewhere."
Soon, the footsteps faded away.
Ji Huaiye and Jiang Yao also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the man.
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome." The man said, looking at Jiang Yao, "You saved my child, I'm very grateful."
"Brother, what do you call me?" Jiang Yao asked.
"My name is Shi Yan," the man said.
As expected by Jiang Yao, this man's surname was Shi.
"Brother Shi, can you help us answer some questions?" Jiang Yao said.
If someone can help them solve their doubts, their future affairs will be much simpler.
"Just ask," Shi Yan said cheerfully.
"Brother Shi, what is going on in your Black Stone Village? I heard that the Cheng family moved here more than ten years ago?"
Shi Yan nodded: "At first, the Cheng family said that their village had suffered a mudslide and they wanted to move to our village. The village chief accepted them generously, and the villagers were also very enthusiastic and gave them food and supplies.
But I didn’t expect that wolves would be introduced.”
"The Cheng family quickly became the mainstay of the village. There were many men, old, weak, women and children, and they quickly took over the voice of the village."
"The Cheng family became the village chiefs of Heishi Village and established many rules. For example, people in the village were not allowed to go down the mountain without permission. People from outside the village were not allowed to come in casually. If you don't abide by the rules, you may be executed."
"At first, some villagers objected, but in front of everyone, the whole family was beaten to death. We were beaten again and again, but we finally got scared and obeyed their orders."
"Then, the village chief opened a mine in the village and required every family to provide a strong man to work... My father died in the mine... My brother and I took turns working in the mine, one person for a month..."
"It doesn't matter that the work in the mine is hard and tiring. In fact, the mine is cursed. Since the mine was established, the health of the people in the village has deteriorated and they have suffered from various diseases. Some
The body is ulcerated, some are vomiting, and they are vomiting and dying. My son is also suffering from a strange disease!"
The more Shi Yan talked, the angrier he became.
Jiang Yao knew that it was not a curse, but heavy metal poisoning.
If the mine is mined and not treated properly, it will flow into the water source and it will inevitably lead to heavy metal poisoning.
The Black Rock Village was also miserable. They were kindly taken in, but ended up being enslaved, doing hard labor, and suffering from all kinds of strange diseases.
"Brother Shi, do you know where the mine is?" Jiang Yao asked.
Shi Yan shook his head: "Every time we go, we are blindfolded, and only some people in the Cheng family know."
Jiang Yao frowned. The Cheng family was acting very cautiously at this time.
