A few people were looking at a building and eating steamed buns; they had just eaten and weren't hungry yet.
To be precise, that pancake was really filling.
The three of them silently picked up the cornbread and put it in their pockets.
They and their families can slip the items to them through the door crack when they get off work.
At least it will give them enough to eat for one meal.
They carried the bucket into the cave; if they hadn't carried it in, the people collecting the goods would probably have taken it away.
They drank water today, so they plan to conserve it and take it back tonight.
This is an unwritten rule: if someone is willing to go hungry to support his family, no one will care, not even the foreman.
After all, someone has to go hungry.
The afternoon's work has just begun.
The two men, who had been silent all morning, suddenly dropped their tools and came to Ouyang Zhenyu.
"Xiao Jiang, we've thought about what you mentioned today, let's do it together."
Even if it means risking my life for my family, I should give it a shot. Whatever you say, we'll do it. We'll listen to you.
"My own wife, my father, and my mother are all relying on me now. Even if it costs me my life, I will do anything to get them out of here."
"Just one person can go out."
Ouyang Zhenyu planted the pickaxe on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said.
"If you've really thought this through, you should be aware that there are risks involved, and you need to consider who you can trust."
After all, you know this place better than I do.
If they are trustworthy, we'll leak this information.
We need to organize more people so that we can all work together as one.
Every day I ask my brother to bring in extra water and food.
They secretly distributed the food to everyone so that they could fill their stomachs and recover their health.
"Our bodies are too weak right now. If we try to run, let alone run, we wouldn't even be able to escape if we were to fight them."
Ouyang Zhenyu had made up his mind. He didn't know when someone would come in from Chu Wu's place or when he would be able to contact Chu Wu.
But first, we need to get these people's health back on track.
I cannot sit idly by and wait for my doom, no matter what.
The three people listened and fell into deep thought.
"These people are actually from three villages, and we used to have connections with each other."
Of these people, about 90% are trustworthy. However, there are also a few who have become their lackeys, and now they are supervisors just like those people.
Although they did work, their work was lighter than ours; they were more like supervisors.
"As far as I know, there are ten people working for them right now. And a few more shameless ones have even offered their wives to that Brother Shan."
Chen Laosan said indignantly, his eyes flashing with pain, because his own sister had been offered up to Brother Shan for his brother-in-law.
"Okay, we can only inform reliable people about this matter. We can't let them know if there's even the slightest doubt. You know, if they find out, it won't just be one person who dies."
Ouyang Zhenyu knew that his current actions had many flaws, but there was no other way. At this point, there was no time to hesitate or look back.
On the fifth day of the lunar month, they brought one or two hundred people here, which was the best opportunity.
Based on his understanding of Chu Wu, Chu Wu would never let a go if any of his people went missing.
Their village is powerful; otherwise, those people wouldn't dare to make any rash moves against them.
This village definitely has some resources; since that's the case, only by getting help from Chu Wu can these people be rescued.
Even if it's risky, killing these people with my own abilities isn't difficult.
Of course, he's unarmed now, so if he really wanted to deal with these people, he could only kill five or six at most.
The risk was too great, which is why he contacted these people.
"Okay, don't worry. Our three villages have small populations, and most of the people are related by marriage."
"We can roughly understand everyone's character, but those who are worthless have already surrendered to those people."
I'll send you a message tomorrow.
They agreed to work until it was completely dark inside the cave, where there was absolutely no light.
Even the dim kerosene lamp couldn't keep them working.
They were then put back.
In the afternoon, Ouyang Zhenyu took out two biscuits from his pocket and gave each person to take back with them.
This also allows them to persuade others; after all, how can they gain people's trust without offering something in return?
Ouyang Zhenyu returned to the cave exhausted; their large iron gate was not closed.
Ouyang Zhenyu didn't know why these people didn't close the hole between the two of them.
Could it be that he deliberately gave himself a chance to escape, and then used this as an example to warn others?
But whatever the reason, he suspected that someone was secretly observing him.
However, the downside is that there can't be any cameras or similar devices here; current technology doesn't allow for that.
They rely on the human eye to hide in the dark, where it is darker than other places.
Without the moonlight, you can't see anything.
This is the best cover.
Why do these people not use their brains and insist on leaving their doors open? They're the ones who are making things convenient for them.
He would be doing a disservice to the other party's kindness if he didn't make good use of it.
Ouyang Zhenyu watched as Chen Laosan and the other two went into the two caves, and then the doors were closed.
These two caves are about four or five caves away from my own, which means it won't be difficult to find them at night.
Let's see if the moon cooperates tonight.
Back in the cave, they immediately saw that Lao Liu was able to sit up. Although he was covered in bandages, he was obviously much better than yesterday and could lean against the stone wall by himself.
"Brother, is there any water? Please give me some water, I'm dying of thirst. They haven't given me any water all day."
Fortunately, he brought back a large porcelain bowl today.
There was also a bowl of water in the bowl.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy.
The sixth brother gulped down his drink from the large porcelain bowl, but after finishing, he hissed because the bowl had cut his lip.
"What the hell is this thing?"
Just as he was about to throw it away, Ouyang Zhenyu stopped him.
"Don't do anything reckless. This bowl is useful; other people rely on it for water. Otherwise, where will they bring water back tomorrow?"
"Did no one bring you food during the day today?"
"That's not right, it's only one meal a day."
The sixth brother said, holding his breath.
"Damn it, who's going to bring me food? But someone did come into the cave to check if I was dead."
"You were so confident yesterday, saying you could escape. Well, look what happened. You've tried it now."
The sixth brother looked ashamed.
"Sigh, it was my carelessness."
These bastards have so many guns! I only discovered them yesterday when I went out that they had four or five people hiding in the shadows on the outskirts.
I thought I had escaped the guards, but I didn't expect there were still people waiting for me.
