In a dark cave, Wen Kui slowly opened his eyes:
"Where is this?"
When Wen Kui opened his eyes, he found that he was trapped in a cell. There were several men in yellow guarding outside the cell. Wen Kui quickly got up and found that his hands and feet were tightly locked with shackles.
"You're awake." A female voice came.
Wen Kui stood up quickly and saw the tea stall proprietress. Wen Kui grabbed the prison rod with both hands, stared at the woman, and said:
"Who are you!! We have no grievances, why do you want to trap me here!!"
The woman named Li Siniang smiled slightly and said:
"Because you are from the government, I have put away your weapons. I know that you are highly skilled in martial arts, so I specially locked your hands and feet. Just stay here!"
Li Siniang looked at a short man in yellow with a pockmarked face and said:
"Wu Neng, this guy is not simple. Guard him carefully."
The man in yellow named Wu Neng lowered his head and clasped his fists, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Second Master, I promise to take good care of this man."
Li Siniang walked towards the entrance of the cave. A huge stone door above the entrance fell to the ground and sealed the entrance.
After Li Siniang left, the man in yellow named Wu Neng opened the cell door, and the other two men in yellow held Wen Kui and walked out.
Wen Kui looked around and saw a group of shirtless men with their feet locked in shackles. They were old and young, carrying a lot of ore on their backs. Among them was a thin old man of about 70 years old, who was carrying a basket full of ore and fell to the ground. Seeing this, a man in yellow behind him pulled out a whip and hit the old man hard on the back. The old man's back was clearly visible. With bright red whip marks, the old man stood up with difficulty and continued to walk slowly. The thin old man's feet were so bloody that they were shackled.
There are many people in this mine, and there are many men in yellow holding weapons and guarding here. Some people were slow in their work, so the man in yellow took out a whip and whipped them. Many bats were flying in the cave, and the fire illuminated the cave, and the sky was filled with black spots.
There was a man with dark eyes and dull eyes. He staggered and suddenly fell down. Seeing this scene, a man in yellow from behind took out his whip and whipped it at the fallen man, cursing:
"Get up and keep working!"
The man in yellow lashed him several times in succession, but the man who fell to the ground showed no reaction at all. The man in yellow felt strange and squatted down to test whether the man was dead.
The man in yellow murmured:
"He's out of breath, let's burn him."
Another man in yellow from behind quickly picked up the fallen man and threw the young man directly into the fire pit. The body was covered in fire on the spot, with black smoke billowing.
In one of the mines, there was a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a thin body, tremblingly carrying a large basket of ore. There is a strong man next to him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. When he saw the girl struggling to carry the ore, he felt a little distressed and said:
"Sister Li, let me carry it for you."
The girl replied:
"Brother Yang, I can handle it, you don't have to worry."
The man put down what he was doing and carried the girl carrying the big basket on his back.
The girl blushed and said:
"Brother Yang, please excuse me."
The man smiled and said:
"It's okay, Sister Li. I think the government officials will save us, so we'll hold on for a few more days."
The girl's eyes were red and she sobbed:
"I miss my parents."
The man touched the girl's head and said:
"It's okay, we will definitely see our family."
The girl hummed, and the two of them continued working.
Wen Kui gritted his teeth when he saw such a scene in the mine. Wen Kui paused for a while and was pushed by a man in yellow from behind. Wen Kui stumbled to the ground because his feet were locked by the shackles.
Wu Neng took out the whip and hit Wen Kui hard on the back. Wen Kui gritted his teeth in pain. Wu Neng said:
"Hurry up, waste, get to work now!"
Wen Kui stood up and glared at Wu Neng angrily, with a look that made people's hair stand on end.
Wu Neng looked at Wen Kui's eyes and was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. Wu Neng wiped his forehead and stammered:
"Look...what are you looking at?"
When the other two men in yellow clothes saw Wen Kui's look, they drew their swords out of their sheaths and pointed at Wen Kui. Wen Kui then turned his head and continued to move forward with very light steps.
A man in yellow quickly ran to the fire and pressed the man's basket that was burned by the fire on Wen Kui's back.
That Wu Neng pulled out his whip, hit Wen Kui hard, and cursed:
"Hurry! Carry these ores to the other side quickly!!"
Since Wen Kui's hands and feet were chained, he could only follow the instructions and had no ability to resist at all. They had knives, so Wen Kui could only endure it and look for opportunities.
Wen Kui saw a middle-aged man in a part of the mine. The man was carrying a large basket. He had a sallow complexion and a short stature. He was shirtless and had many scars clearly visible on his body. His feet were shackles and his feet were already bloody. Blurry and extremely penetrating.
Wen Kui quickly walked up behind the man and asked:
"Brother, I see there are a lot of people in the cave. I want to ask, how did you get in?"
The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at Wen Kui, and said:
"Brother, are you new here? You look unfamiliar."
Wen Kui replied:
"New here, by the way, brother, where are you from?"
The middle-aged man looked disappointed, shook his head, and replied:
"I am originally from Taishan County. To be honest, I am a street vegetable vendor. I can only earn enough money to survive. When I was setting up a street stall, I met a man wearing a mask. He took action. He was generous and gave me a silver ingot directly. I didn't dare to accept it, but he insisted on giving it because the money he earned from setting up a stall was just enough to survive. I accepted it and he said he would take me to a good place where I could get it. A lot of money."
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly turned red and he said:
"I didn't tell my family, so I followed the man. I was kidnapped by a few men in yellow clothes on the way, and I ended up here as soon as I woke up."
After Wen Kui listened carefully to the middle-aged man's story, he probably knew that this mine was definitely related to the Taishan County disappearance case.
Wen Kui looked at the scars on the middle-aged man's body and asked:
"Your injuries?"
The middle-aged man covered his eyes with his hands and burst into tears. He replied: "This is purgatory. I have been trapped for nine days. These people in yellow don't treat us as human beings at all! As long as we are discovered by the people in yellow, we will do it." If we are slow, we will be beaten by these men in yellow. These are all injuries from being beaten. They only gave us a meal of boiled cabbage in two days, which was basically full of dirty water. We worked day and night, and seven of us have died from exhaustion. Yes, some people couldn't stand the oppression and resisted, but the result waiting for them was to be killed."
Wen Kui clenched his fists and said:
"I will definitely rescue you, we have to wait for the opportunity to resist!!"
The middle-aged man said:
"They have knives. How can we fight them when we are unarmed? Aren't our lives in vain?"
Wen Kui pointed the middle-aged man to look at his waist. When the middle-aged man saw the token on Wen Kui's waist, he was shocked and said, "Are you from the government?"
Wen Kui replied:
"I am a member of the government, but I was set up and tied here. I have to find a way to get rid of the shackles on my hands!"
Wen Kui said again:
"This shackles restricts me from showing my talents."
The middle-aged man knelt down and said:
"Guan Ye!"
Wen Kui was a little at a loss and quickly motioned to the middle-aged man to stand up and said:
"Get up quickly, I will definitely find a way to rescue you!"
Not far away, a man in yellow looked towards this place and shouted:
"What are you two doing?"
Wen Kui replied with a smile:
"Brother, it's nothing, I just met a fellow countryman and had a chat."
The man in yellow looked impatient and said:
"Are you done chatting?"
Wen Kui replied:
"Now that we're done chatting, let's get to work."
Wen Kui and the middle-aged man turned and left.
Wen Kui murmured:
"Brother, what's your name?"
The middle-aged man replied:
"Master, my name is Gu Jia."
Wen Kui nodded and said:
"Gu family, what a good name. I have herbs on my body that are specially designed to treat bruises. They are very useful for your injuries. My hands are locked and I can't help you get them. You can pick them up yourself."
The man named Gu family lowered his head and clasped his fists:
"Thank you, sir."
The Gu family took out a small bag from Wen Kui, took out a pill, looked at Wen Kui and asked:
"this one?"
Wen Kui nodded and said:
"This is a pill for bruises. Take one for you and take one for me."
The Gu family took one pill themselves, then took out another and put it into Wen Kui's mouth. Wen Kui swallowed the pill directly into his belly.
Wen Kui asked:
"miss home?"
The Gu family nodded and replied:
"I think about it, I think about it very much. I wonder if my daughter has listened carefully to Master's lectures in the school these days? I wonder if my wife has burst into tears? I wonder if my son has been naughty again these days?"
Wen Kui said:
"Let's start resisting now!!!"
Gu Jia said:
"Are you sure? They have weapons!"
Wen Kui smiled and said:
"Don't worry! I'm here!"
A man in yellow saw Wen Kui and the Gu family whispering, drew out his whip and walked slowly towards Wen Kui and cursed:
"What are you two doing? Hurry up and work for me!"
Just as the man in yellow was about to swing out his whip, Wen Kui hit the man in yellow on the head with his shackles. He only heard a scream of "Ah!" and the man in yellow fell straight to the ground, his head already bruised and bloody. .
The screams alerted the other men in yellow. Upon seeing this, the other men in yellow ran towards Wen Kui with weapons in hand. One man in yellow swung a sword and slashed at Wen Kui. Wen Kui turned sideways and struck with his shoulder. The man in yellow bumped into him and was knocked down instantly. Another man in yellow came and slashed at Wen Kui with a big knife. Wen Kui dodged. The Gu family lifted a big stone and hit the man in yellow on the head. The man in yellow was killed on the spot. Wen Kui shouted:
"Everyone, we must resist, in order to see our relatives! In order to go home, come with me to drill through this mine!"
The Gu family also shouted:
“Everyone, let’s resist together!!!”
Wen Kui continued to shout:
"If you don't give it a try, how will you know the result? Everyone, come and fight alongside me!"
People in the mine picked up the guy's pose one after another and shouted:
"To go home and see my relatives!!"
"To go back!"
"If you're afraid of death, you're not a real man!"
...........
The man in yellow clothes in the cave was stunned on the spot. When Wu Yong saw this, he was shocked and shouted:
"Suppress them! Why are you standing there in a daze!"
Wu Neng lowered his head, clenched his fists, sweated profusely, and muttered to himself:
"We must not let them disturb this mine, otherwise the boss will definitely make fun of me. How could such a thing happen?"
Wu Neng looked at the men in yellow and cursed: "What are these bunch of people doing in a daze?"
Those people in yellow clothes looked at me and I looked at you. They all picked up their dicks and shouted:
"Come on?"
"terrible!"
"Come on!"
"Why don't you make fun of us!"
"Let's go."
"Kill!"
...........
Then in this cave cave, a fierce battle was about to break out, and the sounds of fighting and shouting could not be heard.
