Qin Luo and Wu Hua were completely bewildered by this, but adhering to the principle of not getting involved in the cause and effect of other beasts...
The two stood still, not moving, until Ejiao walked back on its own.
They then continued to feed it water and food.
Dead Horse looked at the scene before him and felt extremely aggrieved.
Other animals have owners who come to pick them up, but there are two of them!
Its unreliable owner, I wonder where he's gone!
The more it thought about it, the sadder it became, and the louder and louder its howls grew!
Finally, Qin Luo couldn't bear to watch any longer and gave it some water and food, which gradually calmed it down.
After the donkey-hide gelatin and the dead horse had eaten and drunk their fill, Qin Luo began to take out silver.
Then take out some unused bed sheets and cut them into pieces.
Then wrap the silver into individual portions. This mine has several thousand people in total.
Four or five hundred people were rescued, and Qin Luo gave each of them two hundred taels of silver!
They planned to report to the authorities in Yujia City first, and if they could return to their hometowns, they would hire bodyguards to escort them back.
For those who can't go back, let's see if we can buy a piece of land in the city to settle them down!
All the silver was wrapped up and put into a large basket on the donkey cart.
They also brought a lot of water, fruits, vegetables, and food, and put them on the donkey cart.
They rushed off, carrying donkey-hide gelatin and leading a dead horse, to catch up with the main group.
Don't let their thin and frail appearance fool you; they can run pretty fast when they're out of there.
Qin Luo and Wu Hua chased for a long time before catching up. At first, they thought they were bandits pursuing them.
They only stopped when they heard Wu Hua shout.
Wang Yue was the first to rush towards the two of them, holding a torch and looking them up and down.
"Are you alright? Did you bump or hurt yourself?"
Qin Luo rolled her eyes at him.
"Have you forgotten how hard my fists are?"
Wang Yue then remembered the hole in the stone wall. Although he knew she was very powerful, he still couldn't help but worry.
It's like knowing that things are impossible between us, but still wanting to spend more time with her.
After exchanging a few words, the two instructed the main force to continue their journey and reach Yujia City as soon as possible.
This time, Wang Yue didn't lead the way; instead, he stayed close to Qin Luo.
Wu Hua felt that there was something different about the way Wang Yue looked at Qin Luo!
Just like Fan Xing said, it's a kind of longing, yes! It's a kind of longing!
He longed for her to fall in love with him, and he longed to have her!
Wu Hua was horrified; this pervert had pedophilic tendencies.
How old is Qin Luo? How could he do this?
It then turned its gaze to Qin Luo, noticing that she was completely on guard, and wondered to itself why she was so defensive.
"Luo Luo, who are you guarding against? You're so wary!"
Qin Luo looked at Wang Yue.
"Baby, something's off with this guy! Do you think he's discovered some secret, which is why he's been following me around, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment?"
Wu Hua found it hard to believe; Qin Luo had at least been in a relationship once before.
How could I be completely unaware of this feeling of unrequited love?
That shouldn't be the case! Aren't women's intuitions usually the most accurate?
Could it be that I lost this talent after time-traveling?
Seeing that it didn't answer, Qin Luo kept asking in his mind, "Little one, what do you think we should do? Should I just take care of it now?"
Wu Hua, who had just been somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Yue, now felt a little sorry for him.
This is like throwing a seductive glance at a blind man, who's then ready to kill him...
Seeing that Qin Luo was asking rather urgently, he was genuinely afraid that she would suddenly make a move and eliminate Wang Yue.
It quickly answered in its mind.
"No, no, I don't think he's a bad person, and he didn't intend to harm us. He's probably just trying to get the ten thousand taels of gold, so he's providing better service!"
Qin Luo asked suspiciously, "Really?"
"Of course! Think about it! A single spider silk only sold for 50,000 taels. With so many people involved, how much could they possibly have left? He can earn 10,000 taels of gold just by accompanying us on this trip. How could his service be anything but good?"
Qin Luo thought about it and realized it made sense! That's when she gave up the idea of killing him!
Poor Wang Yue had no idea that he had almost been killed by his sweetheart, and was secretly watching Qin Luo and grinning foolishly!
The group continued their journey, stopping and starting, until finally arriving at the city gate of Yujia City around noon on the second day.
Qin Luo left Wang Yue to watch over Wu Hua and the miners while he went to communicate with the city guards.
She didn't mention the mine, only that she had encountered hundreds of victims and needed to seek justice from the city lord.
The city guards dared not rashly let so many unregistered people into the city, so they said they would go find the city lord first.
The city lord will decide whether or not to allow them into the city after the report is submitted.
Upon hearing this, Qin Luo had no choice but to nod in agreement and slipped ten taels of silver into his hand.
"Alright, then please hurry, sir. They are already weak and have traveled such a long distance; they need to find a place to rest as soon as possible!"
The city guards, seeing her so generous, suspected she had a powerful background.
After agreeing, he turned and ran towards the city lord's mansion.
Qin Luo then returned to Wu Hua, Wang Yue, and the miners.
"The soldier said he couldn't make the decision himself and had to report to the city lord first before deciding. We might have to wait here for a while!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; seeking help from Yujia City was their only option at the moment.
Without household registration or travel permits, they would be arrested and enslaved wherever they went!
Only by having the city lord take over the case and reissue their household registration and travel permits can they succeed.
Only then can one return to their hometown, or live a law-abiding life in the city.
The waiting time always seemed exceptionally long; even though only half an hour had passed, it felt like an eternity.
Everyone was filled with unease, fearing that the city lord might abandon the matter to avoid causing trouble for them!
Qin Luo was getting impatient, so she went to the city gate again to inquire.
