Chapter 63: Touching the Scene and Reminiscing about the Past

Because of this coal kiln, the terrain is complex and the environment is harsh. The rescue operation lasted until late at night before finally ending.

In the middle of the night, the night breeze was blowing, cold and overwhelming, and there was a dark dead silence between heaven and earth.

Qiao Lanyi and the others stood on the high platform, looking at the swarthy nearly 1,000 mine slaves under the stage, each of them touched the scene, and their eyes couldn't help but be a little moist.

I saw that in the audience, those mine slaves who were as black as ink, all of them were like ghosts, and there was no one in the staff, and they could see that they were all alone.

It was as if they had just crawled out of the soot, and except for their eyes and mouth, some colors, the rest of the parts were already covered with layers and layers of soot.

The rags and rags, which could no longer be seen in color and shape, wrapped around their bodies haphazardly, did not protect against the wind and cold at all.

Some of the miners were even naked, naked, curled up together, trembling.

Among them, there are old and young, all of them are like withered trees, obviously on this coal kiln, the harsh living environment, they are tortured to the point that they are not human.

In the words of Li Wenhua, the richest man in Guanping City, they are like a herd of cattle and tired horses, and they are used to being wantonly bullied.

No matter how tough a woman looks on the outside, there are inevitably weak spots in the heart, and there is inevitably a gentle side.

As a heroine, Qiao Lanyi is still a woman after all, and she is inevitably sentimental.

Liu Qing saw that she was so sad that she couldn't help herself for a while, and asked He Dadou to play again, and he spoke to the miners with his residual heat during the day.

He Dadou, an originally honest farmer, after experiencing life and death, and many tribulations, in just a few days, his temperament changed greatly and he became able to speak well.

If he was put on the shelves by landlubbers during the day, it was arranged in advance. Now he is moved by his heart and says casually.

I heard him say: "Brothers, you have suffered! Blame us for being late! You have been digging coal in the black coal hole all day long, and you have never been looked at as a human being. What's more, even if they died, there were no bones left. You say, "Do you still want to live a life where people are not human, ghosts and ghosts?"

His words, at this moment, seemed to have infinite magic, and the original insensitive expressions of those mine slaves were replaced by exciting excitement, and they shouted in unison: "I don't want to..."

He Dadou wanted this effect, he struck while the iron was hot, and told his own experience again, focusing on defecting to the Black Wind Army.

Nearly 1,000 mining slaves in the audience did not hesitate at all, and were willing to defect to the Black Wind Army.

This can't be said, it's all about how well He Dadou said it. The main reason is that these mine slaves have suffered too much and suffered too many crimes, otherwise the effect would not be so good.

The sea of suffering is boundless, and you may not be able to reach the shore when you turn back, and in the deep sea of suffering, who is not willing to get out of the sea of suffering?

After all the words are said, the next things have to be done, such as counting the materials, checking the personnel, and disposing of the corpses...... And so on, everything needs time, and what they lack is time.

After everything was arranged, Qiao Lanyi took her personal entourage and came to the gate of the coal kiln, where there were only a few people from Wang Baoshan, and it was relatively quiet.

"General Qiao, you have worked hard!" Wang Baoshan saw them coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

Qiao Lanyi swung up, looking like she didn't want to speak.

When Wang Baoshan saw this, he didn't want to disturb her anymore, he could see that Qiao Lanyi was obviously crying.

Jin Ling'er, who is like a living treasure, does not have the same consciousness as him, regardless of the feelings of others, and bluntly says: "The deceased is gone, but the living are like this... You did your best for your brother's death. Although he didn't save his life, he probably didn't want to see you, and he kept thinking about it, and hoped that you could live happily!"

Qiao Lanyi listened to Jin Ling'er's words, and did not speak immediately, but looked up at the night sky, with tears in her eyes, quietly looking at the bright galaxy, as if she was still immersed in sadness.

After a long silence, she sighed heavily and said leisurely, "Yes, the dead are gone, and the living are like ......."

After saying this, she talked about her younger brother to Wang Baoshan and Jin Ling'er.

It turned out that this Qiao Lanyi was originally the daughter of General Qiao, the former general of Zhennan. Because his mother died early, he was young, and followed his father with his younger brother, practiced martial arts and military training, and was familiar with scriptures, poems, and books.

One of the siblings is heroic and beautiful, and the other is intelligent, diligent and studious. Under the careful care of General Qiao, they benefited a lot and learned a lot. To be able to be literate, to be martial and to be martial, for a while, it was rumored to be a good story.

If this continues, their family can be regarded as a happy family.

But the good times didn't last long, and later, the current lord of the country, listening to the rumors, had to marry Qiao Lanyi, so that he could add a peerless beauty to his harem.

What kind of person the lord is, Qiao Lanyi's family knows it well, so they don't want to. As a result, Long Yan was furious, issued a letter of state, removed General Qiao's official position, and demoted their whole family to concubines.

Because of this, General Qiao died with hatred, leaving their sister and brother to depend on each other.

The lord of the country is narrow-minded and cannot get a beauty, and sends someone to induce her younger brother to fight with someone, and as a result, he cripples the other party with a miss.

This is amazing, and the official family immediately put her younger brother in prison. In the end, for some reason, he was sold to a coal kiln on the outskirts of Huichuan and became a coal mining slave.

When Qiao Lanyi went to save people after several setbacks, she found that the coal kiln had collapsed for a long time, and many mine slaves had died at that time.

And her only relative is buried inside.

Later, in order to avoid the entanglement of the lord of the country, Qiao Lanyi fled all the way to the boundary of this Guanping City......

After listening to Qiao Lanyi's speech, Wang Baoshan couldn't help but feel a little sad. He wanted to comfort this godsister he had just recognized, but for a while, he didn't know what to say.

As Jin Ling'er often said about him, he is a stupid goose who will not comfort people.

Jin Ling'er was quite understanding, she smiled and said, "Hehe... Sister Qiao, don't be too sad, you can say the knot in your heart now, it must be that seeing those mining slaves reminds me of your brother?"

"Well..." Qiao Lanyi nodded, with sentimentality on her face.

In that case, you should also be relieved. You don't have to feel too guilty about your brother's death, after all, the root is not you, you still have to face yourself correctly!"

After Jin Ling'er finished speaking, she didn't speak, just looked at Qiao Lanyi quietly, waiting for her to open the knot in her heart.

After a while, she said, "Although everything is not under my control, at that time, if I had been stronger to fulfill others, my father and younger brother would not have died." ”

Your father and younger brother don't want to see your grievances, otherwise they won't resist desperately. Besides, they are protecting their loved ones from persecution, which is understandable. ”

"It's not a shameful thing, it's that I'm too selfish... It's me who was wrong..."Qiao Lanyi said as she spoke, a little unable to speak, and her voice was a little choked.

"You're not wrong, they're not wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong? You should know ...... very well."

"Yes, it's not us who is wrong, it's this ...... that is wrong" Qiao Lanyi stopped choking, the tears in her eyes had stopped, and her heart seemed to be clear, and she also understood what was wrong.

Jin Ling'er saw that she had woken up, so she said: "So, for them, we must live happily." ”

"Yes, I want to live well until the day when the world changes......"

After Qiao Lanyi said this, at this time, her whole person slowly returned to normal, and she became a lot more cheerful.

Seeing this, Jin Ling'er stopped talking, but just squeezed Wang Baoshan with his eyes, meaning to let him comfort Qiao Lanyi.

As a result, Wang Baoshan misunderstood, thinking that he was asking him to change the topic, and he said: "Sister, it's good to think like this." It's almost over, what are we going to do now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was despised by Jin Ling'er, and said in his heart to comfort you, why are you off topic.

"Let's meet them for the time being, and then discuss!" Qiao Lanyi didn't think much about it, she finished speaking, and led everyone towards the inside of the coal kiln.

After a while, when the group was far away, three black shadows suddenly crawled out of the darkness. They looked around furtively, then opened the gate of the coal kiln and ran out in a panic.

"It's not good, someone ran away..."Jin Ling'er followed Wang Baoshan, walking, and suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the gate of the coal kiln.

"General, do you want to chase?" The soldiers on the side immediately became nervous when they heard this.

Qiao Lanyi glanced at the direction of the gate and said, "No need, since they can escape, it means that they know the terrain of this place very well, and it is inevitable that there will be some risks for us to go." ”

"Hehe... Sister Qiao is kind-hearted and doesn't want to kill more, it's not easy!"

When Jin Ling'er heard her say this, she smiled and stopped paying attention to the three people who had escaped.

Qiao Lanyi listened to Jin Ling'er's words, and glanced at her in surprise, although she didn't pay attention to her anymore, her expression was obviously a little displeased.

This made Wang Baoshan a little embarrassed, he saw that Jin Ling'er was straightforward and fast-talking, and said everything in other people's hearts, which was really embarrassing. Although it was wrong for her to do this, he didn't dare to care about her, so he had to sigh alone.

Jin Ling'er saw him like this, not only did not repent, but was also proud. At the end, he glared at him, and in that look, he clearly said, "What can you do with me except sighing?"

Wang Baoshan was completely convinced, simply closed his eyes, emptied his brain, and no longer thought about anything.
