Jiang Yimian felt distressed at the sight. She glanced at Jiang Dazhuang's wounds and found that several were inflamed and infected, and some had grown into his clothes, making them look like a bloody mess.
The other person is currently running a fever due to a wound infection, and it seems they have had a fever for several days in a row. Their condition is not good.
Jiang Yimian first treated the other party's wounds briefly, and then gave him antipyretics before saying, "We need to go out first. His injuries are too severe. The lighting here is poor, and there's a lot of dust."
Although she was relieved that Jiang Dazhuang was still alive, the fact that he was injured like this still made her feel terrible.
If Wang Fengqin knew, she would probably cry her eyes out.
Fortunately, they arrived in time and were able to be saved.
Lu Cijian nodded, staring at the person he had grabbed by the back of the collar, and said coldly, "Besides leaving through the mine, is there any other way out?"
Zhao Xiaonian stared at the two of them for a while before nodding.
Lu Cijian then tore the rag out of his mouth.
Finally able to speak, Zhao Xiaonian stared intently at Jiang Yimian and asked with some suspicion, "Who are you people, and what do you want?"
Although he had just realized that the girl was saving Uncle Jiang, he still harbored doubts.
Why would anyone else come into the mine and specifically seek out this remote place to rescue Uncle Jiang? It's really suspicious.
Jiang Yimian simply said, "He is my father."
Zhao Xiaonian's eyes widened at Jiang Yimian's words. He stared at her for a long time, looking her up and down before saying, "Are you really his daughter? You're lying."
He remembered Uncle Jiang saying that his daughter was a shy and gentle person, but the person in front of him didn't fit those descriptions at all.
Therefore, this person is definitely a scammer.
Thinking of this, he immediately became dissatisfied, "Stop talking nonsense. Whatever you want to do, get out of here. I won't inform you, but you can't take Uncle Jiang with you."
Who knows what these two do? What if they kill Uncle Jiang?
Uncle Liu is dead; only Uncle Jiang is here with him.
Jiang Yimian ignored him and said to Lu Cijian, "Ask Wang Jinbao if he knows how to get to the other routes."
If there's no other way, she can simply put the person into her spatial dimension and then leave through the mine.
Although there is a risk of exposure, we can't worry about that now.
Wang Jinbao quickly came in. He frowned and said, "There is, but we can't take that road. There are quite a few people guarding it."
He didn't know where that road led, only that the iron ore mined would be transported there each time, and occasionally he could hear various hammering sounds coming from there when he got close, it was all very strange.
Just then, they heard a commotion outside, accompanied by hurried footsteps.
"Quickly, go and bring them back. I heard someone else escaped, and even dared to knock out the foreman."
"This is terrible. Nobody will get any food today. Who was the idiot who couldn't get out and was causing all this trouble?"
"Who knows? We need to find them quickly, otherwise we'll all be in trouble."
At this moment, in the thatched hut outside the mine.
A panicked miner hurriedly said to one of the burly men, "Brother Zhao, something bad has happened! Several overseers have been knocked unconscious in the mine. I wonder if someone has escaped again."
The burly man was so angry that he stood up instantly and cursed, "Then hurry up and go see what's going on. Oh, and don't tell the leader about this yet. Seal off the mine shaft for me. No one is allowed to come up without my orders."
"I'd like to see which one of those fearless individuals dares to run away."
The miner nodded hurriedly and said, "I've already sent people to look for him, but I don't think he's come out yet."
The burly man snorted coldly, "It's best if he hasn't come out yet. Hurry up and catch him."
The miner responded and immediately ran off.
The others in the thatched hut, however, felt something was amiss.
"Brother Zhao, could something have happened? How did those miners manage to knock out the foreman, and several of them at that?"
"Yeah, we'd better tell Leader Zhang right away, in case someone has sneaked in."
The burly man said irritably, "Do you think just anyone can sneak in?"
Leaving aside the big stone gate, even the village at the foot of the mountain—you think everyone in that village is just freeloaders? If someone were to sneak in, they wouldn't survive.
Besides, there are quite a few powerful people on this mountain. Even if someone manages to sneak in, they won't be able to leave alive.
Don't tell Zhang, he's really happy about what he just made. If he tells us, we'll get a beating.
Come on, let's continue. I won this time, so I'll guess big again.
Seeing his confident demeanor, the others immediately felt reassured and continued comparing sizes.
Inside the cave, shouts and curses could be heard everywhere.
Lu Cijian quickly said, "I guess those who fainted have been discovered. Let's leave quickly, we can't go that road through the mine."
As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward and carefully carried the person on his back from the haystack.
Jiang Yimian looked at Wang Jinbao and said, "You lead the way. If we are discovered now, it will be difficult for us to get away."
The main force hasn't arrived yet, so they can't reveal themselves for the time being. They need to make others think that someone is just trying to escape.
Wang Jinbao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there first, but there are quite a few people guarding it, so it might be even more dangerous than for the miners here."
The group quickly left and headed deeper into the cave.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaonian didn't bother to question whether the other party was telling the truth or not, and quickly quickened his pace to catch up.
If Uncle Jiang is found out like this, he will surely be thrown to the wolves. He must protect Uncle Jiang.
Meanwhile, inside Longxing Manor.
Lin Yan'an was pretending to be full of surprise as he looked around the manor, occasionally muttering that the manor was really grand.
He was secretly groaning inwardly, wondering when that bastard Zhu Shichang would arrive. He didn't want to stay in this wretched village any longer.
Having just passed a pavilion paved with jade slabs, he quickly said, "I'm tired. You can all go down now. I'll rest here for a bit."
After saying that, he sat down directly in the pavilion.
The maid who had been following him simply clapped her hands with a smile. The next second, several scantily clad girls walked over and went straight to lean on Lin Yan'an.
He was startled and stood up with a frown, saying with some displeasure, "What kind of vulgar beauty is she? She's so ugly, why don't you get down here right now?"
Is this all your village is like? You don't even have a pretty girl.
"When will Lord Zhu arrive? I've had enough of these ugly things."
As he walked along, all sorts of girls rushed towards him, driving him crazy. This corrupt official was spending all his time in this manor without fear of having his life force drained.
The maid was clearly stunned, unable to understand what kind of girl this man liked.
Anyone who comes to the village, no matter who they are, will see someone they like as they walk along this long corridor. But this person is different; everyone finds him ugly.
I don't know if it's because my eyesight is bad, or if I really saw some celestial being.
Or perhaps this person simply doesn't like girls?
