"You said you and your brother took turns going to the mine. When will the next rotation be?" Ji Huaiye asked.
"Two days later." Shi Yan said.
Jiang Yao quickly asked Shi Yan some questions.
He answered them all one by one.
"I'm leaving first. If they find out that I'm missing, they will become suspicious," Shi Yan said.
Shi Yan said, climbing up the well rope.
"Shi Yan, why are you here?" As soon as Shi Yan arrived at the well, he heard someone talking.
He was startled.
Down the well, Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye also became nervous. They stared at the mouth of the well, their bodies tense.
"Follow the village chief's order, come here to find someone." After a moment, Shi Yan's voice came.
"Did you find anything?"
"without……"
"Have you found anything in this well?"
After the man finished speaking, he heard footsteps approaching, obviously walking towards the well.
Ji Huaiye and Jiang Yao's bodies became even more tense. The mouth of the well was not deep. They could be found by shining a torch.
These few short moments were extremely tense and long.
The man walked to the well and was about to pull down the torch.
At this time, another voice suddenly came.
"Third brother, the village chief asked us to assemble."
The man turned around and left.
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
If he is discovered, there is only one way, which is to get rid of that person.
That will inevitably cause other problems and constant trouble.
It will also implicate Shi Yan.
Therefore, a near miss is the best outcome.
Listening to the footsteps disappearing, Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye relaxed.
A gust of cold wind blew down.
The two of them felt cold after they were freed from the tension.
Ji Huaiye lit the fire tongue, and there was nothing under the dry well. However, this was not a problem for Jiang Yao.
She has a warehouse.
Just in case, she also stored some clothes and quilts in the warehouse.
These things are just in use.
Ji Huaiye already knows her secret.
Jiang Yao didn't hide it and took out a mattress and a quilt from the warehouse.
The two of them spread out the bedding and wrapped themselves in the quilt, slightly blocking out the cold.
But it was winter, and it was a humid dry well, and the coldness still seeped in one after another.
They did not dare to light a fire, but only used flame tongues to illuminate, otherwise they would be easily discovered.
Ji Huaiye opened his arms: "Yao Yao."
Looking at his warm embrace, Jiang Yao stopped being pretentious and leaned into his embrace.
Ji Huaiye put one arm around her, and the two of them were very close.
The breath blends and dispels the coldness.
"Go to sleep." Ji Huaiye's voice was particularly gentle.
Jiang Yao closed her eyes and fell asleep.
At the bottom of the dry well, the cold wind is blowing, and the two figures are leaning against each other, which is a touch of warmth in this cold and cold place.
When Jiang Yao woke up again, it was already dawn.
Jiang Yao brought water and food, and the two of them washed up briefly, ate, and felt much more energetic.
They will stay dormant around here until Shi Yan takes over in two days and quietly find where the mine is.
In the past two days, the two of them were not in the well all the time, but would secretly go out to investigate.
Jiang Yao tried to find traces of the man who looked like her father, but found nothing.
Jiang Yao suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Aye, do you think that person who might be my father is in the mine?" Jiang Yao said.
Ji Huaiye nodded, he felt that this possibility was quite high.
Two days later.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye sneaked to the location mentioned by Shi Yan.
Shi Yan said that people who want to go to the mine will wait here, blindfold themselves, and be taken to the mine.
Jiang Yao stared at the open space as people came one after another, about twenty people came.
The hypocritical Uncle Cheng Er came, and among the people he brought with him was Cheng Ergen and three strangers.
Four people worked together to tie the eyes of all twenty people.
He took out a rope, tied up everyone's gloves, and circled them.
One person is in front, holding the rope, and the rest of the people follow.
It's like leading an animal.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye followed quietly behind this group of people.
They walked towards the west of the village, entered the dense forest, and walked along the path in the dense forest.
After walking for a while, we came to a stone wall.
There was a gap in the stone wall, and two people were standing at the door.
Cheng Ergen led those people in.
Jiang Yao looked at the entrance of the cave. The mine should be hidden in the entrance of the cave.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye did not go in, but observed.
It's dangerous for them to rush in like this.
We need to figure out what kind of mine this is and what is in it...
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye knew what kind of mine this was after waiting at the door for a day.
In the evening, several people came out carrying several boxes and placed them at the door.
After a while, several black shadows came over.
"This month's items are all here, five boxes in total."
"Why is there one box less than last time?" The man in black asked with a frown, seemingly unhappy.
"This thing is naturally becoming more and more difficult to mine. Moreover, several people died some time ago, and there are fewer people working on it."
The two groups of people said something, and the man in black carried the box and left.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye followed the man in black and discovered that there was another way down the mountain.
The man in black put the boxes on the car.
While they were resting, Ji Huaiye opened one of the boxes, took out something, and handed it to Jiang Yao.
Golden, really gold!
There really is a gold mine in Black Rock Village.
Mrs. Plum Blossom's wealth, which is unparalleled in the country, comes from here.
Those people drove away in their cars.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye returned to the location of the gold mine.
As they approached, they heard a scream.
"Let you hide in secret! According to the rules of the mine, if you hide in secret, you will be killed immediately!"
It was already dark and there was moonlight.
They headed towards the place where the sound came from.
Under the moonlight, you can see several people beating one person violently.
And when Jiang Yao saw the man's appearance clearly, she felt that her blood was about to flow backwards.
The man raised his head, and his face stained with blood was the face she remembered.
Although he is much thinner, he is still recognizable at a glance.
As he watched, a man picked up a machete and was about to chop at the people on the ground.
Jiang Yao immediately took action, swept away, and kicked the man with the machete away.
"you……"
Others wanted to scream, but their voices disappeared in their throats.
Jiang Yao and Ji Huaiye cooperated tacitly and quickly eliminated these people.
One of them is Cheng Ergen.
These people have become accustomed to doing these evil things.
Many of the piles of bones were the souls of those who died under their hands.
And what he just killed the miners must have been done countless times.
Such evil people deserve to die.
Jiang Yao's eyes fell on the bloody man on the ground.
She quickly helped the man up, her eyes immediately turned red, and she shouted: "Dad!"
The other party looked at Jiang Yao with confusion on his face.
