Xiao Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a cold expression: "After searching for so long, the tortoise finally showed its head! Let's follow and have a look!"
With that said, she pulled Zhan Beihan over and walked forward along the shadow cover.
The light in the mine was not very good, so it was all illuminated by the torches on the rock walls. The mountain wind roared, causing the flames to flicker and flicker, and there were swaying shadows everywhere.
After walking not far, the two of them hid behind a piece of gravel and looked down.
Below is a wooden corridor that circles the mine vein along the mountain. This is where these bandits usually patrol and supervise the work.
Many bandits are surrounding the area.
At the other end of the corridor, the light of a torch came over, and several figures walked out of the shadows.
"Brother!"
"Brother..."
All the bandits shouted loudly, and their attitude was very respectful.
The bandit with a scar on his face walked forward and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you here so early today when you are free?"
A figure stepped out of the shadows.
Xiao Lingyue squinted her eyes, and through the flickering firelight, she finally saw this mysterious bandit leader clearly!
Surprisingly, this man didn't look like a bandit.
He is about forty years old, has an ordinary appearance, a medium build, and is dressed very low-key. He looks like a middle-aged man casually passing by on the street. Standing with other bandits full of gangsterism, he looks even more...
Like ordinary people who are oppressed.
Xiao Lingyue was a little in disbelief.
This person... is the mastermind behind the entire bandit village?
The middle-aged man looked at everyone and asked: "How is the situation today? How much goods were dug up?"
The bandit with a scar on his face said: "Everything is normal, but the shipment is not much, only more than three hundred kilograms..."
"So few?" The middle-aged man frowned.
"The number of slaves is becoming less and less. My eldest brother is urging us to ship the goods. A few days ago, a few of them died of exhaustion." Scar Bandit explained, "If my eldest brother is anxious, my brothers will go down the mountain and grab another group of people."
.”
The middle-aged man's face changed slightly and he waved his hand: "No need!"
"Brother?" Scar Bandit didn't know why.
"Ask all the brothers to come over and gather all the goods together so that the slaves don't have to dig anymore. The south is pressing for goods, and today all the goods are out," the middle-aged man said.
"So urgent?" Scar Bandit was stunned for a moment.
But he didn't think much about it and turned around and gave orders to the other bandits.
The bandits immediately went to work.
Soon, scoldings and curses could be heard in the mine.
The bandits waved their whips and drove all the ragged people together like cattle and sheep.
"Hurry up! Why are you waiting so long!" the bandit scolded. When he saw the man and boy lying on the ground, covered in blood, he walked over and kicked them, "Are they dead?"
The man was covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether he was dead or alive.
The bandit spat, not bothering to pay more attention, and continued to drive away the others.
Soon, all the people were gathered together, squatting on the ground in fear and confusion.
The mined ore was also collected in baskets, put on trailers and taken away.
Xiao Lingyue and Zhan Beihan were hiding in the shadows.
Looking at the scene below, Xiao Lingyue murmured in a low voice: "What does this person want to do?"
Suddenly they stopped digging and gathered all the people together...
Xiao Lingyue had a bad feeling in her heart.
The bandits quickly finished the job, and Bandit Scar asked: "Brother, what are you doing now?"
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and said viciously: "Kill all these slaves! Leave no one behind!" Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
