Qin Luo looked up into the mine shaft, but it was pitch black inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Occasionally, someone would come out carrying a bamboo basket, but it was always covered up completely!
The bandits traded Qin Luo and Wang Yue to a minor leader in the mine.
"We've sent you more miners. Go easy on them this time, don't kill them again! Time is tight and the task is heavy. If another miner dies, we might not be able to deliver on time!"
The foreman glanced at the two men, then hurriedly nodded and bowed, assuring them.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, those were just accidents the last few times. I promise I won't let anything go wrong!"
"Okay, good that you understand. Take the person inside, I'm leaving now!"
The junior leader solicitously escorted the bandit for a while, only returning when the bandit's figure was out of sight.
Looking at Qin Luo and Wang Yue, his eyes were arrogant.
"What are you two standing there for? Get inside and get to work!"
He then took two pickaxes and a basket and handed them to them.
"If you don't want to die, then work hard and stop thinking about all that nonsense. Do you hear me?"
Qin Luo and Wang Yue nodded obediently: "We heard you!"
They then followed the foreman into the mine, and the further they went, the more terrified they became.
Looking at the golden mine walls all around them, the two exchanged a glance, both seeing greed in each other's eyes.
Before they could even begin to fantasize, they were interrupted by the leader's voice.
"You two are responsible for going down to the bottom of the mine and filling these baskets as much as possible. Don't even think about keeping any for yourself, unless you don't want to live!"
Qin Luo and Wang Yue nodded, pretending to be honest and unassuming.
"Okay! Don't worry!"
Seeing their clear eyes, the foreman didn't say anything more, only urging them to hurry inside.
Little did he know that his action was like throwing a mouse into the rice jar.
Wang Yue was alright; he could only steal one or two yuan, mainly because he had nowhere to hide it!
Qin Luo is different; he touches things wherever he goes, and things disappear wherever he touches them!
When you reach the bottom of the mine, dig up one piece and hide ten more.
Because so much was hidden, Wang Yue noticed something was wrong.
"What's going on? We've dug quite a lot, how come we haven't even filled a single basket yet?"
Qin Luo pretended not to know and played dumb.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted. I've been digging and digging, but I still haven't filled it up. Could there be something dirty inside?"
Wang Yue got goosebumps from what she said; he wouldn't have believed it elsewhere.
But people dying in the mines is perfectly normal.
Driven by his protective instincts as a man, he firmly stood by Qin Luo's side.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here! Even those evil spirits won't dare to get close to you! If you're tired, sit down and rest for a while, I'll take care of it!"
Qin Luo immediately thought, "That won't do! Aren't you cutting off my source of income?"
She cursed inwardly, but outwardly pretended to be serious.
"How could I let you suffer alone? We're brothers! Don't worry! I may look thin, but I'm strong enough to never leave this kind of hard and tiring work to you alone!"
She continued digging, and Wang Yue stood beside her, deeply moved.
Unexpectedly, this noble young lady from the Wan Gu family was unwilling to suffer herself.
She must have some feelings for me too! The more I think about it, the more excited I get.
He seemed to have inexhaustible oxen's strength, digging frantically.
Watching his actions, Qin Luo felt inexplicably angry. What did he mean?
This shows disbelief; they think they have plenty of strength! They want to settle things once and for all!
"Then you've really bitten off more than you can chew," Qin Luo said, swinging the pickaxe with tremendous force.
She overtook Wang Yue in no time and even raised an eyebrow at him.
He thought to himself: Kid, you're convinced now, aren't you?
In Wang Yue's view, this was her flirting with him.
He blushed deeply with embarrassment and stammered, unable to say anything coherent.
Qin Luo didn't hear clearly and didn't care, continuing her tomb raiding adventures.
Wu Hua, who was brought to the kitchen, relied on her irresistibly sweet mouth...
They coaxed the old woman inside so much that she wouldn't let her do any work.
It even pretended to be obedient and insisted on going over to help.
"Grandma, let me help you! I can do it. You sit down and rest for a bit. I'll wash the vegetables and then give you a back massage!"
Then, carrying a small basket, he ran towards the water's edge.
The old woman quickly grabbed it.
"Oh, my good boy! You don't need to do this little chore. We old women can easily finish it. Just pull up a small stool and sit down over there!"
Wu Hua obediently put down the basket, picked up a small stool, and followed behind several old women.
Perhaps it was because of their age and separation from their families, but the old women were shocked to see such a tiny baby.
Feeling a pang of tenderness, he took out the cornbread he had secretly hidden and placed it in Wu Hua's hand.
"Sweetie, you sit here and eat. Grandma will go wash the vegetables! Be good and don't run around, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Hua immediately nodded her little head adorably.
"Okay, Grandma, don't worry! The baby is being very good!"
The old women gently rubbed its little face.
After settling the small stool in place, I carried the vegetables to the water to wash them.
Wu Hua wasn't picky about food; she ate her cornbread while swinging her little feet.
They don't look like they've been captured by bandits to do hard labor at all. They look incredibly relaxed.
While I was playing, I suddenly sensed Qin Luo throwing things into my spatial storage.
It sensed it for a moment, then its eyes widened in surprise; it was something that treated money like dirt.
Under Qin Luo's influence, she gradually became a little money-grubber.
Upon seeing the gold, it was overjoyed: "Hahaha, I'm rich! I'm rich!" It turned out to be a gold mine! This is all thanks to Luo Luo! She didn't hold back at all; in such a short time, the gold has almost piled up into a small mound! And she's still throwing more and more in, hahahahaha~
