Chapter 312 Please
In the midst of towering mountains and deep forests, a group of people endured the pain in their bodies and dragged their heavy steps back.
"Hurry up, everyone! Whoever's the last one here won't get any food today!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, or I'll kill you all!"
"Alright, we've all had a long day. If you really dare to kill us, we won't even bother looking for someone else."
"Look at them now, they're all like dead dogs. Yesterday, some of them actually tried to escape? Don't they know where they are? Is this a place where they can run away? Let me tell you the truth, those who tried to escape yesterday are now fertilizer. If you know what's good for you, you'd better get your jobs done and stop thinking about escaping!"
The crowd being driven away shuddered.
"Don't blame me for not warning you beforehand. To put it bluntly, you lot deserve it. There's no such thing as a free lunch. You're all dreaming of getting rich quick. Look, you think you can make a fortune from what you grow, but that wealth isn't yours, haha, are you happy? I'm very happy. Hurry up and get going, stop talking nonsense, it's getting dark soon, and I don't want to walk with you in the dark!"
They sent the group back and locked them up, then threw each of them in a black grain cake, and there was no more noise outside.
As for the people inside the gate, they were somewhat active when they first arrived, but now they're all numb.
Some people couldn't help but cry while eating.
"I can't go back, I definitely can't go back."
"I miss home, I never want to leave again."
"Well, my wife and kids are still waiting for me at home."
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die at all."
"Waaah..."
"Shut up! What's all the noise about!"
The room fell silent, but the sound of soft sobbing could still be heard.
In the corner, a man with a scar on his eye was wolfing down a multigrain pancake. He had to live, no matter what. He had a wife and a daughter at home, and he had to get back alive!
He ate with fervor, his eyes also displaying a fierce intensity.
“Come on, brothers, let’s have a drink. Now that they’ve brought everyone back, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. With these people around, the work in the fields will be a bit easier.” Niu Hong raised his glass, and the other two, Hu San and Qiu Sheng, also raised their glasses.
"That's right, I was so nervous before, afraid something might happen." Hu San picked up a peanut, put it in his mouth, and chewed it.
"Nothing will happen. We're just nervous. Those powerful families wouldn't dare to do anything to us. The higher-ups can't afford to worry about us. Even if they knew what was going on here, they wouldn't be targeting us first, but rather those powerful families. Even if we were to be eliminated, we'd have to wait until the powerful families were eliminated. So we're all safe." Qiu Sheng was quite optimistic.
"Even so, I'm still nervous. Our mental fortitude isn't strong enough," Niu Hong sighed.
"It's alright, I just need to work a few more years. Sigh, I wonder when the three of us will be able to climb up to the top. We'll always be doing low-level jobs, and that'll be our life forever," Hu San sighed.
"What? You want to be a leader? You probably don't have the ability."
"Hey, Niu Hong, you're looking down on me, Hu San."
"How could that be? If you really want to get up there, the first thing you should do is risk your life. Don't tell me you dare to risk your life?"
"Then I... hehe, I really wouldn't dare."
"Let me tell you. Every one of those who went up there risked their lives. I'm quite content with my life. I have money and free time. All I have to do is transport people and supervise them in farming."
"Thinking about it that way, it's not bad. But there are too few women here. I haven't been close to a woman in a long time."
"That's not simple, it's that widow in the city."
"It's happened so many times, I'm tired of the passion, I want to try something different."
"Don't even mention you, I'd love to too, hehe, especially a newlywed or young girl, that feeling, tsk tsk..."
“This young girl doesn’t go out, does she? She’s been married before, do you dare touch her? Even if the locals don’t dare to provoke us, they’ll still fight us to the death if something really happens.”
"Yes, that makes sense, so let's get more people from other places coming over as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I heard that some people in the south are specifically sending girls from there over here."
"real?"
"Yes, I have this news."
"That's great, everyone's flocking here now. They're all unfamiliar with the place, and those people are really daring. I certainly wouldn't dare."
"To make money, you have to be aware of the risks if you want to make big money."
"Actually, if you ask me, as long as the eldest brother takes down a powerful family, he can have as much money as he wants."
"I'll say it again, do you dare?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare."
"That's it."
"Sigh, those bosses up there are always fighting amongst themselves, I don't even know what they're fighting about. We're so much better off, we can work peacefully and live peacefully, and sometimes we even get to hug a girl. I have to say, life is pretty good."
"Niu Hong, come out here for a second!" The three of them were still chatting and joking when someone banged on the door.
The three men hurriedly got up, opened the door, and said with obsequious smiles, "Brother, is there any work to be done?"
"I'm asking you, didn't a man with a scar on his eye come here a couple of days ago?"
"A scar on your eye?" Niu Hong asked.
"Hmm, let me think about it."
"Ah, there is such a person. I was wondering about him. He's so fierce."
"Where is he? Take me to see him."
The three were startled: "Is there something wrong with this person?"
If there's a problem, they're going to be in big trouble.
The man glanced at the three of them and said, "The person is fine, but his wife has come looking for him."
"They came all this way?" Niu Hong couldn't believe it.
"Where is that person from?"
"I heard it's from Liaoning."
"That's quite far."
"So what do we do now?" Qiu Sheng asked.
"I'll go check on this person," the man said.
"Okay, please go ahead."
The three men obsequiously led the person to the closed door.
As the door opened, the person inside was completely visible.
"You, the one with the scar on your eye, come out here!"
Does it have a scar on its eye?
It's too obvious.
Hong Li stood up.
"Yes, you, come out!"
Hong Li carefully walked out, bending over and keeping his head down, avoiding the crowd.
The door closed again.
“Lift your head up,” the man said.
Hong Li timidly raised his head, the scar on his eye particularly noticeable.
"Do you have a wife and a daughter at home?"
Hong Li's face was visibly pale.
The other person chuckled: "Looks like it. I have good news for you, your wife has come looking for you."
Hong Li's body trembled involuntarily.
"What do you think about us bringing your wife here too? That way you and your wife can be together. Even your daughter can come along."
Hong Li, who had been standing, suddenly knelt on the ground: "I beg you, I beg you, I'll do anything you want, please don't take my wife, please..."
