Chapter 314 Together? (Update 1)
Shen Yanchuan was silent for a moment: "Are you willing to do it?"
Although Ye Chutang knew that he was asking why she had come all the way from Qingzhou and couldn't bear to go in and take a look in person, she still felt something was odd when she heard it.
After thinking for a moment, she said honestly, "I can't bear to do that."
Otherwise, all her days of running around and preparation would be wasted.
The corners of Chen Yanchuan's lips curved slightly, as if he was smiling.
Ye Chutang looked inside the gate. Apart from vaguely seeing the mine pit dug in the middle of the mine and a few furnaces, he could not see anything else.
In this situation, it is definitely not possible not to go in and take a look.
She couldn't help but sigh: "If I had known this, I should have contacted you earlier."
Why make this extra trip?
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows: "Do you trust me so much?"
Ye Chutang nodded: "Of course."
Although she always felt that Shen Yanchuan was dangerous, she had to admit that he was indeed very capable.
not to mention--
Ye Chutang tilted his head slightly and said sincerely: "Aren't we already in the same boat?"
Chen Yanchuan sneered.
"Then I have to thank Miss Ye Er for taking a liking to you."
Ye Chutang: “…”
Why is this man so weird? Isn't it just that I was on guard against him and put the blame on him a few times in the past?
Why are you so fussy?
Now in this mine, no one knows what the situation is like inside. Since they have the same goal, they are naturally one of us.
Ye Chutang advised himself in his heart, then took out a bottle from his sleeve, leaned over and shook it in front of the two men's noses.
Chen Yanchuan was puzzled, but he did not stop him. He just asked, "What is this?"
"Knockout drugs." Ye Chutang explained, "When they wake up later, they will forget everything that happened in the past few days before they fell into a coma."
Chen Yanchuan was silent for a moment: "You call this a knockout drug?"
The effect is so precise, this thing is obviously not an ordinary poison, Ye Chutang clearly came prepared.
"One effect."
In her previous life, Ye Chutang worked diligently and was the king of scrolls. When her fellow brothers and sisters developed a poison, she insisted on dividing it into dozens of types, each with different effects.
It’s just that I’m too lazy to worry about such things in this life, so I just let it go.
Chen Yanchuan glanced at the two again and said, “I thought you wanted to make these two people disappear completely.”
Ye Chutang: “…”
She put away the bottle, looked at Shen Yanchuan, and said seriously: “Although there are indeed things in this world that can dissolve bones and eat flesh, I have a kind heart, why would I use such things?”
Chen Yanchuan stared into her eyes. The moonlight was dim, not as bright as the stars in her eyes.
He was the first to look away and nodded in understanding.
Just say it's useless, don't say it doesn't exist.
Ye Chutang didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, but he didn't care much. He packed up and prepared to go inside. Just as he took a step, he turned around and said politely:
"How about we go together? But——"
"Can."
“…”
Ye Chutang was choked for the first time and remained speechless for a long time.
She originally thought that Shen Yanchuan appeared here because he must have something he wanted to investigate. It would be too inconvenient for two people to act together. She only needed to be a little polite and act separately to get rid of him naturally.
I never expected——
Chen Yanchuan looked at her in silence, with a faint smile flashing across his eyes.
"Didn't you say that we are on the same path?"
"……yes."
Ye Chutang had no expression on his face.
"Then please... take good care of me."
Chen Yanchuan nodded his chin and said very naturally:
“It should be.”
“…”
He agreed so smoothly that Ye Chutang felt that the feeling that something was not right came back.
But she didn't think about it too much. Time was short, so they had to move faster.
The two looked at each other, no further words were needed.
He turned around and sneaked into the mine silently.
…
Due to the undulating terrain, the mine is not very flat.
The two walked forward in the night, with rough stones piled up everywhere on the road.
Going further, with the faint moonlight, you can vaguely see the center of the huge mine, which is roughly circular in shape, with rock layers stepping down.
At first glance, it looks somewhat similar to the terraced fields in southern villages.
As Ye Chutang walked, he took the topography and specifications of the mine into his mind.
This iron mine is indeed not very big, but it still requires a lot of miners to work.
And the further in you go, the stricter the security becomes.
Suddenly, Shen Yanchuan stopped.
Ye Chutang looked at him.
Chen Yanchuan whispered: "Did you hear any sound?"
Ye Chutang concentrated his attention and indeed heard several faint sounds of heavy objects hitting each other.
She frowned slightly: "Is the mine still mining at this time?"
Iron ore mining is extremely hard work, the environment is harsh, and one must guard against all kinds of dangers.
It's late at night and the light is dim. Is it really necessary to stay up all night?
Chen Yanchuan shook his head: "It doesn't sound like they are digging a well, let alone a tunnel."
Ye Chutang looked at him in surprise.
First, he was surprised that Shen Yanchuan seemed to know a lot about what was happening in the mine. Second, his internal strength was so profound that he not only heard the sound first, but could also clearly distinguish the source of the sound.
Shen Yanchuan looked in the direction where the sound came from, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"It sounds like..."
Before Shen Yanchuan finished speaking, footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
He reacted very quickly, grabbed Ye Chutang and hid behind a large piece of ore.
The sound of wheels rolling over gravel was getting closer and closer, as if someone was pushing a mine cart passing by.
The bed of the mine cart was filled to the brim, glowing faintly in the dim moonlight.
——It turned out to be a piece of refined iron!
Ye Chutang took a quick glance and was secretly shocked when he saw this scene.
It is normal to find iron blocks in iron ore, but the key point is that this man actually pushed a cart into the mine!
The man pushed the heavy cart forward and soon he was exhausted and sweating.
But he did not dare to slow down at all and continued to move forward with gritted teeth.
Finally, another person walked out of the darkness with a whip in his hand.
Bang!
The man whipped his whip and yelled, "Didn't you eat? You're so slow! I can't afford to pay for your delay even if you have ten lives!"
The man who was beaten didn't even dare to hide, he just endured it, enduring the piercing pain, nodding and bowing to apologize.
After cursing for a while, the man stopped and pointed at the scrap metal and rocks on the ground: "What are you standing there for! Unload the stuff and load these up and send them out!"
The man hurriedly started to unload the cast iron blocks in the truck bed, put a few stones into the truck bed, and then piled a few pieces of scrap iron on top.
At first glance, it looks no different from the iron blocks that have just been unloaded from the mined furnace.
After loading the car, he turned around and headed towards the outskirts of the mine.
——There are already a lot of "iron blocks" piled up there waiting to be shipped out of the mine.
