Chapter 160 Arrival
"My husband is back. You guys eat first." The old lady turned and went out.
Su Jinxia looked at the golden vegetable pancake, peeled it open with her bare hands and sniffed it, making sure there was nothing wrong before eating it.
"You are so cautious. I told you they are not our people, why don't you believe me?" After saying this, Luo Yun took a big bite of the vegetable pancake.
I don’t know if this meal will be his last, he must eat more!
Su Jinxia smiled, "It's better to be cautious than to lose your life!"
Luo Yun noticed the man's warning look, but he didn't argue and just lowered his head to continue eating.
Zhao Yue put some bacon into Su Jinxia's bowl, and then ate the vegetable cake.
The old couple came in from outside, still with smiles on their faces.
"There are quite a few guests," said the old man.
"How could I lie to you? The girl gave me 5 dollars to have a meal in our house. Your meal is in the pot. Let's eat in the outer room." The old lady said as she pushed the old man out.
The old man went out. It was really rare for them to encounter such a good thing as pie in the sky, otherwise he would not have come in to take a look.
The meal was finished soon.
Su Jinxia thought the vegetable pancakes made by the old lady were good, and when someone came in again, she said,
"Auntie, I wonder if there are any vegetable cakes left!"
"There are still a few in the pot. If you like them, you can take them all! The advantage of living here is that there are plenty of vegetables to eat."
"Okay, bring it to us. Thank you for your help today."
"Don't be polite to me, my dear children. I will treat you well when you come back."
He turned around and went out of the house to find some lotus leaves to wrap the vegetable cakes. The other party gave him so much money, and all he wanted was a few vegetable cakes. It was a request that was hard to refuse.
Su Jinxia set out again with the vegetable pancakes packed by the aunt.
After Luo Yun reached the path, he wanted to tell them,
"If there are guards at the gate and they ask you questions, just say you want to make a lot of money."
"Won't they be suspicious?" Su Jinxia asked.
Luo Yun smiled, "Why would you doubt it? Few people who enter a place can get out. The reason I can get out is because I am already a resident there. Otherwise, I would have turned into dust long ago."
Su Jinxia understood what he meant, which was that many people were imprisoned in that place, and who knows how many people were harmed by these beasts.
Zhao Yue, "Tell us about the situation there."
"A large group of people work non-stop every day. I am usually responsible for purchasing supplies, so I have the right to go down the mountain. As for our boss, he basically doesn't go down the mountain." Luo Yun picked up a dogtail grass from the ground and held it in his hand. Only when he looked at the familiar thing did he feel at ease.
I betrayed my boss, and I don’t know whether it was right or wrong.
He had also secretly saved some gold over the years. If he could take it out quietly and leave this place, he could marry, have children, and live a happy life with his wife and children!
Then he thought of the poison in his body and hated the couple in his heart. If he couldn't survive, they wouldn't be able to survive either!
After all, he was a murderer at the age of ten, otherwise he wouldn't have been noticed by the boss and said to be a good talent!
Otherwise, he would be like those coolies, working non-stop until he had used up his last bit of strength, and then be thrown into a deep pit and buried.
They have deceived many people into coming here to work over the years. Due to the remote geographical location, many people came out to work without telling their homes’ exact locations. So how many innocent souls are buried in this mountain?
Who knows?
Sun Ce saw that the battery in the flashlight was low, so he took out the battery from his bag and replaced it.
"Fortunately, we were fully prepared when we set out, otherwise this mountain road would have been difficult to walk on."
Tang Hai, "You are really attentive. I would not have thought of this!"
Su Jinxia smelled a familiar smell, but couldn't tell what it was. The mountain was very big and it would probably take until midnight to reach the destination.
"How long will it take for that kid to arrive?"
"It will take at least an hour. We are in a cave. It is a very hidden place. It used to be a coal mine."
"You haven't told me what the secret is yet?"
"You will know when you go there. I just hope you won't be too surprised after seeing it." Luo Yun thought of the gold stored inside. No matter who it is, they would be excited when they see it!
Seeing them shouting and arresting people, it is hard not to go along with the corrupt when wealth is placed in front of them.
Unless they are not human beings, but saints in heaven!
Who among those who have just come here is not attracted by gold?
When they reached halfway up the mountain, they sat down to rest.
When Su Jinxia went to the toilet, she found that the soil on the ground seemed a little strange, so she picked it up and smelled it.
No wonder this place feels familiar, it turns out there is a gold mine here.
The familiar smell I just smelled is the smell of gold!
It is bold to speculate that the secret in the mine is gold, which means that this group of people are secretly mining gold. No wonder!
After he had the answer in his mind, he returned to the resting place and whispered to Zhao Yue, "There is a gold mine in this mountain."
Zhao Yue was not surprised after hearing this. With so many people committing illegal acts here, coal mines alone were not enough.
He nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Luo Yun stood up and said, "Let's keep going. If we rest for a while, it will be daybreak. The person who will take over the shift by then will not be familiar with me. If you can't get in, don't blame me. We will die outside together!"
So a few of them stood up again and followed him forward.
It was exciting to climb the mountain at night and find a snake. Each of them held a branch in their hand and pulled it off the ground before walking over.
Finally they arrived at the mine before daybreak.
The faint light revealed that the ground was covered with weeds and there was coal slag left over from the past. This must be a large coal mine.
Luo Yun took out a whistle from his pocket and blew it toward the sky.
The sharp sound was a bit piercing, and soon someone ran out of the cave.
He was wearing a blue work suit, a safety helmet, and holding a flashlight in his hand.
"Why did you come back so late? The boss has asked you several times." Zhang San looked at the people behind Luo Yun and frowned. "These people are not ours. What's going on? Why did you bring so many people back?"
"They are friends I met outside. They have some skills, so I brought them back. They want to make money with me." Luo Yun pretended to be calm and said, "Why, are you still suspicious of me?"
Zhang San shook his head. "That's not the case. You are really cruel! But these three men and one woman don't look poor. Why do they want to make money?"
"Why do you care so much? Who would complain about too much money? Women have their own jobs, and men have their own jobs. Is there any need to say that?" Luo Yun said in a sly tone, "Don't worry, as long as it's good, you will get it!"
