Chapter 0199 – Iron Ore (1 / 2)

The crowd of blacksmiths’ character passed here in Shen Che and Lan Luoluo, their character was good, and they did not fail them in rescuing them. Such people were worthy of their help.

Lan Luoluo called the people to a halt, signaling them to take the silver away, and the man at the head of the group waved his hands repeatedly, making gestures and bowing to the two of them.

Shen Che swung out a sword to send the broken silver to everyone’s feet with precision, ”This is all what you deserve, all of this silver was scavenged from those people.

Although it is not much, it can still give you proper compensation, leaving home for a few months, is it not possible that you want to go back empty-handed?”

Thinking of their family members, these people only picked up the silver under their feet with red eyes, and obediently knelt down to kowtow to Shen Che again.

After the crowd left Lan Luoluo put those raw iron ore left at the scene and the weapons that she didn’t have time to transport away into space.

Looking at the two white tigers’ begging gazes, Lan Luoluo squatted down and stroked the tiger’s head with her hand, “The matter is still pending, you guys wait here obediently now.”

There were still quite a few people waiting to be rescued over at the iron mine, and even though she loved the two white tigers, the two were still important compared to those people!

Only after seeing White Tiger nodding did the two of them leave, following the trail of the carriage until they found where the iron mine was.

Beneath the mountains, a dark entrance to the mine was faintly visible, and the sound of clanging and crashing came from the mine.

The mine was narrow and long, as if it were a devil’s throat devouring life. Hundreds of people huddled together, facing the rock wall in front of them, mechanically wielding worn tools.

Whenever the hammer hit the rock, it made a dull sound that shook every inch of the cave. The narrow mine cave echoed with hammering sounds, coughs and sighs, depressing the mood.

The mine is cold, the air is damp and rocky, and people feel suffocated as soon as they go down there. This is where the people who dig the mines risk their lives and engage in grueling labor.

“Are we really going to mine here for the rest of our lives? Coughing ……” The mine was filled with crushed stone chips and dust, and as soon as you opened your mouth, you would inhale quite a bit of dust and dirt, choking people and making them cough.

The man who spoke was dressed in tattered clothes, his dark face covered in dust, his eyes full of despair and helplessness. The exposed skin was either whip marks or blood blisters.

“Ah Mao, stop talking and hurry up and dig. If we don’t finish today’s mission, we’ll miss our meals and get a beating. Alas, this is life! Ahem ……”

They were now as if they were ants, constantly digging inside the cave, looking for traces of those precious metals.

“Uncle Cai, when will this day end? We should have been here for three months, we haven’t been home for so long, and we don’t know what’s going on at home …… oooh ……”

A cry rang out in the mine, and the officers and soldiers who heard the commotion immediately began to yell outside the cave, “What are you howling for? Work quickly, no one can eat if you don’t dig enough for the required number of mines today.

People’s hearts are not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant, this is what happens when you are greedy for money. Hmph, you guys believe in the idea that a bunch of fools can earn ten taels of silver a month, you deserve to be dug up!”

These same people were lured into the mountains by the Rong Royal Palace using high pay.

It’s easy to enter the mountain and hard to leave, when they know they are coming to dig iron ore not no one wants to escape want to resist, just that the result of doing so is to meet the brutal beating of the officials and soldiers.

It was not until the officials and soldiers killed a few people in front of the crowd that they realized that it was impossible to leave. If they wanted to get out alive, they could only dig in peace and quiet under the authority of the officials and soldiers.

The man called Uncle Cai carried a basket of about his weight on his back, and moved step by step toward the outside of the mine.
