We exited through the east gate.
Song Xia frowned as she looked at the messy carriage tracks on the ground, then rode on her horse and continued on her way.
I don't know how long I ran.
Song Xia noticed the messy carriage tracks, which disappeared at a fork in the road.
She stopped immediately.
Look around.
The surrounding area is filled with rolling mountains.
A guess popped into Song Xia's mind.
Could Song Lao Er and the others have been taken to some illegal kiln to work? This is ancient times, not modern times. Whoever took them away would never sell the things inside their bodies. As for selling them for money, that's even more impossible. They're adults, not children.
Thinking of this.
Song Xia decided to go and see the surrounding mountains.
I searched for two days.
That night, Song Xia spotted a group of people carrying something into a mountain, which looked like grain.
In order to avoid being discovered by them.
Song Xia followed at a distance the whole way.
Watch as they traversed mountains and valleys, arriving at a secluded valley.
Song Xia looked around and saw that the valley was surrounded, so she crawled forward to get a closer look.
result.
As soon as she approached, she heard the barking of a dog coming from inside.
Song Xia quickly entered the space.
The patrolmen inside heard the commotion and came out to check. Finding nothing there, they went in and kicked the dog.
Several times in a row.
I went outside to look, but there was nothing there.
They didn't come out after that.
Seeing that none of them came out to look, they even told others that the big yellow dog liked to bark for no reason today.
Song Xia then stepped out of the space with peace of mind and looked around through the crack. All around her were people working, either moving bricks or firing bricks.
It's a little slow.
The man guarding them lashed out with a whip, cursing under his breath.
I watched for a while longer.
Song Laosi, dressed in a dusty gray outfit, came into her view.
at this time.
He was carrying bricks.
While others were carrying bags of ten yuan at a time, he carried bags of five yuan.
*Smack*
The man guarding them lashed out with a whip.
Song Laosi burst into tears: "What are you doing? You! I only moved so little because of you. If you hit me again, I won't be able to move even five yuan worth of things."
It hurts so damn much.
The man guarding them rolled his eyes at Song Laosi and said, "Can't move it, huh? If you can't move it, then you can wait to be thrown into the mountains to be eaten by wolves. We don't keep useless people here..."
"I can move it!"
Song Laosi was so frightened that he turned and ran away, much faster than before.
Song Lao Er and Song Lao San weren't much better off. Neither of them were quick, so they were whipped countless times and now they regretted it to the core.
They really were taken to a black kiln!
Song Xia originally wanted to report to the authorities immediately, but her gaze fell on the fired blue and red bricks not far away, and an idea popped into her mind.
The owner of this brick workshop is no good.
It's not unreasonable for her to take these bricks, is it?
But if they actually do that, and they find that something is missing, they might move people and things.
After some thought.
Song Xia marked the spot, left, found the hidden horse, and rode back to find Song Dong for help.
Despite his young age, he is very skilled with a slingshot.
As soon as Song Xia got back, she found him and started to explain, then left.
Song Dong didn't even have a chance to ask.
Song Xia had been searching for a long time, but a round trip would actually take less than two days, only a little over half a day.
She arrived in town after dark, so she went to the brickyard early the next morning.
Song Dong did not ask Fang Xiu and the others to go to town as Song Xia had suggested. After lunch, he secretly went to the yamen alone.
In order to avoid making mistakes.
Song Dong practiced many times at home, calmed his mind, and shot the letter wrapped with stone at the guard at the gate.
But he was too nervous and missed the constable.
Fortunately.
They found it.
When Song Dong saw them pick it up, he quickly dodged away. He only left after making sure the person had finished looking at it and ran inside.
This way.
When Song Xia arrived at the brickyard, it was already afternoon.
She hasn't done anything yet.
Until nightfall.
After they all fell asleep.
Song Xia only began to take action then.
After some observation, Song Xia discovered that one area was less guarded, as there were more dogs there than in other places.
They barked incessantly as soon as she got close.
but.
The ending was the same as before.
When the people who came to check found no one there, they beat them up.
After a few times, they stopped bringing it to watch.
After disguising himself and losing a lot of weight, Song Xia climbed up.
The walls are all made of wood.
It's sturdy, but it's hard to climb.
Song Xia climbed up with great effort, and as soon as she got there, she saw seven or eight dogs staring at her.
She quickly threw some of the prepared meat to them.
Whether it was because they were too hungry or not, they rushed to snatch the meat without even making a sound.
Song Xia leaped down.
result.
A dog charged at her.
Song Xia conjured a stick out of thin air, and the dog stopped in its tracks, not daring to go any further.
"roll!"
Song Xia shouted, and the dog whimpered and ran away.
Are all dogs so bullying and cowardly?
Look around.
Song Xia discovered that the place was much larger than it appeared from the outside. As she walked, she came to see their kitchen.
Out of curiosity, she went inside.
The kitchen was pitch black, without a single ray of light.
Song Xia then took out a flashlight from her spatial storage.
Under the light of a flashlight.
She saw everything inside clearly.
The kitchen is large and has a lot of ingredients.
On the left, there were several large baskets of radishes and greens. In addition to these two types, there were also a lot of cured meat and cured chicken hanging on the bamboo pole in the middle. There was also some fresh pork, but not much, probably to prevent it from spoiling.
There are five stoves, and behind them is a storeroom.
Walk into the warehouse.
Besides various edible dried goods, the rest were grains, including wheat bran, black flour, yellow flour, white flour, and rice.
Very good!
Isn't this just filling her space?
Song Xia immediately accepted the gifts; she only wanted the good ones and didn't want the rest.
She collected about 20 jin of cured pork; about 20 jin of cured chicken; 5 jin of fresh pork; 50 bags of flour weighing 20 jin each; and 30 bags of rice weighing 20 jin each.
Don't let the small size of her supermarket fool you; the back space is actually quite large.
Song Xia put all of these in the basement.
Put it away properly.
Song Xia pressed her face against the kitchen door and window, looked around to make sure no one was outside, and then gently opened the door and went out.
As soon as I went out.
Song Xia went back inside and closed the door, because several patrolmen were coming this way.
After they left.
Song Xia went out.
She walked for a while and looked around. All around were rows of wooden houses, and the people living in these houses were people they had somehow managed to bring in to work.
Song Xia stopped wandering around and headed straight for the bricks.
To avoid being discovered by the inspectors.
Song Xia collected bricks from more remote areas, both blue and red bricks. She didn't know how many she would need to build a house with one entrance and one exit, so she simply collected as many as her space could hold.
They collected them all and put them in the backyard.
Keep it safe.
Song Xia was about to leave when she noticed a wooden house not far away with lights on. Out of curiosity, she went over to take a look.
