The next day at dawn, Tiger appeared with a few men.
When Chu Wu saw the dozen or so people, his expression turned somewhat wary. All his brothers gathered behind him.
"Hello, you must be Chuwu."
Come on, come with us into the mountains. We'll go in in batches, the road is difficult to travel.
So there are 30 people in a team.
Don't worry, our mine provides food and accommodation, and you'll receive 500 yuan a month. We absolutely won't treat you unfairly.
The accommodations were very comfortable, and the food was delicious—big white steamed buns every meal, plus large slices of meat in the dishes.
“The miners who work in our mine, they all have to come back within two days of going back.”
"Making money here is easy, but it's not that easy to make money elsewhere."
The young men around him had their eyes light up as they listened.
Chuwu hesitated for a moment and said,
"Okay, then let's split into three teams. I'll take some people with me first to take a look. You all wait here."
The man nodded with a broad smile upon hearing this.
"Alright, Tiger, then you stay here and don't follow us. The road is difficult to travel. You won't be able to get out easily if you go."
Tiger said to Chu Wu with a smile.
"Go on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year with peace of mind and do your job well."
This is my old friend. He pays you in cash every month, so don't worry, he'll never treat you unfairly.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, 30 people were selected, and then the remaining people were whispered to each other with instructions.
Tiger smiled faintly to the side, saying that even if Chu Wu had great abilities, as long as he did his best in the mine.
He is a dragon that must coil up, and a tiger that must lie down.
The five generations followed that person directly into the mountains.
The road we took was simply unbelievable. There was no road ahead, just an abandoned, dilapidated cave, and the cave wasn't even that deep.
They had already searched the mountain several times, but had never seen a path through it.
Unexpectedly, the man led them into a cave, and they somehow found something on the wall.
An opening immediately appeared in the stone wall in front of them.
A gust of wind blew in from inside, clearly indicating that the cave was actually a continuous passageway, otherwise there wouldn't be any wind.
When everyone went inside, they discovered that it was a completely different world inside. Chu Wu nodded.
"I really didn't expect that we would find this place after searching for so long!"
The leader said with a smile.
"Have you looked for anyone on the mountain?"
Who are you looking for?
"Oh, so two of us lost something?"
"Two of you are still missing, and they might be in our mine."
We rescued two people a couple of days ago. After all, there are too many wild animals outside, and those animals ran into the village when they saw the firelight.
We rescued someone in the past, but we don't know if they were your friend.
They walked in chatting like that, and after walking for who knows how long, they finally saw a light ahead.
The moment Chu Wu stepped out of the cave, he smelled a distinct odor in the air.
Then everything went black, and he and the people around him all collapsed to the ground.
The twenty or thirty people standing on the cliff face jumped down, holding ropes and sticks, and tied the hands and feet of the unconscious people.
They used wooden sticks to carry the man directly back to the mine.
The thirty-odd people were divided into five caves and imprisoned.
Ouyang Zhenyu and Lao Liu were working when they suddenly heard a lively noise outside.
A short while later, Chen Laosan, who had gone to gather information, returned.
"They captured more than 30 strong laborers, and we don't know where they came from."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Zhenyu smiled.
"Our people have arrived."
When it got dark, Ouyang Zhenyu went back and sneaked out of the cave in the dark.
With the help of the third brother, they pried open the iron gate next door. The third brother was indeed a very knowledgeable person; he could open these locks with just a wire.
Having apparently heard the commotion, the person inside asked...
Who are you?
Upon hearing the voice of Chuwu, Ouyang Zhenyu quickly crouched down and crawled inside.
"Fifth Brother, it's me, Xiao Jiang."
The two embraced tightly in the darkness.
"How's Xiao Jiang Lao Liu doing?"
"He's fine. His arm was broken by those people, so he didn't come with us. He's resting in the cave."
If you want to see him, come with me to our place.
Several people sneaked into the hole next door.
Tiger watched as the last group of people left with that man, then raised his hand and gave a signal.
This time, I've sent them 100 strong laborers—100 strong laborers! Where can I find such a group of able-bodied men?
If it weren't for the time constraints, he wouldn't have started with the village. You know, those old men in the village are no pushovers.
If they ever harbor any wicked intentions, those old bastards would probably wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Don't think they didn't have any ideas; nobody wanted to kill these people and take over the village.
But the villagers weren't so easy to kill.
The memory of losing more than a dozen of his brothers last time is still vivid. That was only because these old Koreans thought they could make money off them; otherwise, they would have all died long ago.
But this time, I can't blame myself.
As if everyone had disappeared together, Tiger led his men toward the distant border.
I have my own things to do, so I won't be going back for now.
Once things are settled at the mine on my brother's side.
If I go back, there's nothing they can do.
Tiger hummed a tune and walked forward with a smug look on his face, when suddenly he felt a burning sensation in his throat.
