The bandits burst into laughter when they saw him back down.
"Haha, I thought he was a tough guy, but he's just a coward!"
Then, he waved to his underlings behind him.
"You guys tie them up and take them back with the donkey cart and horses!"
"yes!"
The henchmen quickly tied up the three men and shoved them unceremoniously toward the headquarters.
I'm such a small person, and my steps are already small. I almost fell over because people kept pushing me!
Qin Luo felt heartbroken watching this.
"My little brother is still small, please don't push him! Or can you let me go and carry him instead?"
The bandit gave her a look that said, "You're dreaming," then picked up Wu Hua and left.
Qin Luo followed closely behind, while Wang Yue stayed right behind her.
After walking for about two hours, the three of them finally arrived at the bandits' headquarters.
This place doesn't look like a bandit's den; it looks more like a makeshift dwelling.
There weren't many people living inside, only a few dozen or so, but the security was exceptionally tight.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Luo and the others heard the bandits say, "Take the horses and donkeys to the stable, search these people and lock them up. Send them down to the mine tomorrow!"
Then, the younger brother looked at Wu Hua and asked, "This baby needs to be sent down too! What can it do down there?"
The bandit glanced at Wu Hua
"It's a bit small, but we'll send it to the kitchen to help the cooks!"
After the younger brother finished speaking, he was about to search the three men.
Qin Luo took a step back, and Wang Yue immediately stepped in front of her.
"My brother has an infectious disease, you'd better not touch her!"
As he spoke, he secretly tightened his grip, ready to break free of the ropes and knock the bandit unconscious if he refused to listen.
Upon hearing that there was an infectious disease, the bandits dared not search any further and randomly grabbed an old woman who did odd jobs.
"Go and search her and that child from head to toe!"
When Wang Yue saw that it was an old woman, he didn't stop her and obediently allowed the bandits to search her.
The old woman obeyed and touched Qin Luo and Wu Hua all over.
After searching, it was discovered that only Wang Yue had a money pouch and a household registration pass; Qin Luo and Wu Hua had nothing at all.
The bandits were incredibly disappointed. They roughly locked the three men in a dilapidated house, leaving them to be dealt with the next day!
As soon as they left, Qin Luo untied the ropes binding her and Wu Hua.
Wang Yue then pulled hard and snapped the rope binding his hands.
Qin Luo stood up and began to examine the dilapidated house.
Wang Yue also walked to the door and peered out through the broken door.
"Are they really that trusting of us? The door's broken, and there's not even a single guard!"
Qin Luo took a piece of cloth from his cloth bag, spread it on the ground, and then carried Wu Hua onto it.
"Isn't it because I don't trust us? Didn't you see on the way here? Although there aren't many people here, the security is extremely tight. There's a group of guards almost every few meters. I wonder what kind of mine this so-called mine is?"
Wang Yue looked at Qin Luo and sighed with heartache. What kind of suffering has this well-bred young lady endured?
"Don't worry, I'll protect you! As for what kind of mine it is, we'll find out when we get there tomorrow. Just don't stray too far from me!"
Qin Luo didn't reply, she just nodded. She wasn't worried about herself, she was worried about Wu Hua.
"Son, we're all going down into the mine tomorrow. Can you manage in the kitchen by yourself?"
Wu Hua was quite satisfied with the position she was assigned.
"Luo Luo, don't worry. I've been assigned to the kitchen. What could possibly happen in the kitchen? I'm such a tiny baby, I can only help wash vegetables at most. But you guys are in trouble. Mining isn't something just anyone can do!"
Qin Luo stared at its head in confusion for a while.
"Little one, is there something wrong with your little brain? Think about it, all the people we capture are sent to mines. How many vegetables would you have to wash every day to supply them? I don't know what you're so happy about. Don't even think about stealing food! What good stuff would these heartless bandits give the miners?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua's little head drooped.
"Alright! Tomorrow I'll go to the kitchen and ask around to see where the people who make their clothes are. You should also go down into the mine and ask how many Shuiying tribesmen are there!"
"good!"
After listening to the two talk, Wang Yue realized that their friend's clansmen might have been captured and brought here!
He then proactively asked if she needed any help. Qin Luo took out the jade pendant from her chest to show him.
"This is the emblem of the Shouze clan. Write down its design. When we go down into the mine tomorrow, check if any of the miners have the same totem on their bodies!"
Wang Yue looked at it carefully, and after confirming that he had memorized it, he nodded and said, "Okay!"
Then, Wu Hua took out several meat patties from her bosom and gave them to the two of them.
"Eat something, and then go to bed early. You'll be tired tomorrow!"
Qin Luo took the meat pie and started eating, while Wang Yue held it, turning it over and over to examine it.
"Son, you're something else! We didn't even find your meat pie during the body search!"
Wu Hua's mouth, which was chewing on the meat pie, suddenly stopped, and Qin Luo quickly smoothed things over.
"They probably didn't search him carefully because he was small! He got away with it!"
The moment she opened her mouth, Wang Yue believed her without a doubt.
After finishing his meal, he went to the door, letting Qin Luo and Wu Hua sleep peacefully while he took charge of keeping watch.
Qin Luo still didn't quite trust him, so after lying down with Wu Hua in her arms, she quietly released Tengteng.
In the darkness, the vines are like a venomous snake, lurking in the shadows, silently protecting their master.
While keeping watch, Wang Yue kept a secret glance at Qin Luo's direction.
With each glance, he seemed to be filled with energy, feeling no fatigue whatsoever!
I didn't even take a nap all night, but the next morning I still looked radiant.
Qin Luo couldn't help but wonder if he was on some kind of drug.
Before the three could speak, the door was pushed open by the bandits.
Not only did bandits arrive, but also the old woman who had searched them yesterday.
"Kid, you go with her to the kitchen. You two come out and come down the mine with me!"
Wu Hua gave Qin Luo a reassuring look, then obediently walked to the old woman's side and took her rough hand in hers.
"Grandma, let's go!"
The old woman was led by its soft little hand, and looking at its chubby little face, she couldn't help but feel a pang of tenderness.
That fat kid is clearly from a wealthy family. He's ended up in this bandit's den; he's probably going to have a tough time.
She held Wu Hua's small hand tightly in her palm.
"Come on, Grandma will take you to the kitchen!"
After the two left, the guards shoved Wang Yue and Qin Luo.
"You two better follow me obediently. You're not going to escape. You'd better listen to me to avoid getting a beating!"
Wang Yue watched him push Qin Luo, wanting to get angry but unable to.
We haven't found any relatives to help Qin Luo find friends yet, so we can't let anger ruin everything!
He could only force a smile and separate the bandits from Qin Luo.
"Don't worry, my good sir! We brothers are all honest men, and we certainly wouldn't do anything cunning!"
The bandit glanced at him with disdain.
"That would be for the best, otherwise you'll suffer the consequences!"
Wang Yue didn't reply, only smiled, and the two followed the bandits for another hour.
They had only just arrived at the so-called underground mine entrance...
