When Li Zhuang heard that he could make a lot of money in the south, he was overjoyed. He ran home immediately and told his parents about his idea.

But when the parents heard this, they firmly disagreed.

Li Zhuang was stunned. He was very angry and didn't understand why they didn't agree to let him go out and earn money.

My father was an honest farmer and he wasn’t good at reasoning. He just said one thing: You’re not allowed to go!

His mother told him with tears in her eyes that the journey to that place was very long and that life there alone would be hard.

But Li Zhuang had already made up his mind at this time that he must go out and earn money.

Even if his parents disagree, he will go out.

So he quietly packed up a few of his clothes, hid it from his parents, and went directly to find those people.

When we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw that there were already seven or eight young people from the village standing there.

Li Zhuang was even happier. Who said he was the only one there? Aren’t there seven or eight other people in the village?

So they all happily followed those people to the main road outside the village.

It turned out that there was a large truck parked here, and everyone got on the truck and drove towards the county town.

After about an hour, the truck stopped at a place and the men asked them all to get off.

They found that this seemed to be an abandoned yard with a factory building inside, which looked quite spacious.

A group of people were arranged into the house, and soon, a large pot of fragrant stewed lamb was served.

This made Li Zhuang and his friends very hungry. A middle-aged man said enthusiastically, "Everyone has worked hard on the journey. Come and eat some mutton and take a rest. We still have to arrange work later."

When everyone heard this, they immediately swarmed over, holding their bowls and began to wolf down the food.

The mutton was so delicious that Li Zhuang ate bowl after bowl. After a while, he had eaten three bowls.

After eating three bowls of meat, Li Zhuang suddenly felt so sleepy that he sat down on the ground and then lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he was already here.

When he saw this place with deep valleys and high mountains, and that it was deserted and had extremely harsh conditions, he was terrified.

So he wanted to escape, but he didn't know that the place was already closely guarded by thugs, so there was no way he could escape.

He was caught and beaten half to death.

I lay on the ground for more than ten days before I recovered.

He was terrified and no longer dared to run away easily.

Because he was strong and healthy, he was naturally given special care and was forced to dig coal endlessly every day.

Gradually, Li Zhuang couldn't stand it anymore. It happened that at that time, those who were deceived fled together, and the situation was out of control.

Li Zhuang was still digging coal in the coal pit because he was unaware of the situation.

So in the end, he and a few others were the only ones who didn't run away.

When the thugs saw that Li Zhuang was an honest man, they told him to teach those troublemakers a lesson, and then they could reduce his workload.

Li Zhuang was a little timid at first, but when he saw those vicious people, they were all afraid of him and he would not be bullied.

So he plucked up the courage to beat up a very arrogant guy, but he didn't expect that from then on, everyone was very afraid of him.

He also experienced the feeling of being feared, so he became more bold and presumptuous. If he was not satisfied with something, he would use his huge fists to teach the other party a lesson.

The people here were already skinny from hunger, so they were no match for him.

Gradually, he began to abuse his power and dominate the area.

The thugs were very satisfied with his work and no longer forced him to work. He just wandered around here every day.

If he sees someone he doesn't like, he will go over and take care of him without his thugs having to do anything.

Moreover, he could earn some good food and lead a comfortable life.

There is just one thing: he is absolutely not allowed to go out, just like everyone else.

After listening to Li Zhuang's narration, Zhou Bin sighed: "So, you are also the son of a poor man, then why are you so fierce? Don't you feel sorry for everyone?"

Li Zhuang lowered his head: "I, I'm used to it."

Zhou Bin nodded. The air here was so polluted and human nature had long been distorted. They were oppressed and had long lost all good thoughts.

People here have only two thoughts, that is, not to die of hunger or not to die of exhaustion.

Once people are firmly oppressed by hardships and difficulties, especially when they see no hope, the dark side of human nature will be infinitely magnified.

Selfishness, seeking profit and avoiding harm, and egocentrism are all displayed vividly here.

It can be said that this is a picture of the animal world.

Fortunately, Zhou Bin is quite capable, otherwise, he would be thrown into that pit like everyone else sooner or later.

So he asked, "What's going on with that pit over there?"

Li Zhuang glanced at the door and whispered, "Those are all dying people, still waiting to die there."

Su Ming stared and asked, "So they won't treat me?"

Li Zhuang smiled and said, "Who cares about you? I can't even get enough food to eat, and I can still treat you!"

Zhou Bin shook his head: "What a beast!"

Then other people came over and told their own experiences.

Everyone is similar. They all wanted to make money and were deceived into this illegal coal mine.

Zhou Bin couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. He didn't expect that even in this day and age, there would still be such a terrible place.

If they hadn't been harmed this time, he would never have imagined what this place was like.

Zhou Bin asked again: "How many thugs do they have?"

Li Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "I think there should be about twenty of them."

Zhou Bin took a look at the number of people here, there were probably hundreds of them.
