Chapter 379: Pathetic
After a miserable scream, the two of them, who had not yet breathed evenly, hurriedly lifted Xiao Jing up the mountain road, and stopped exhausted until they walked some distance again.
This time, they were even more polite, and directly threw President Xiao on the cold ground, causing him to cover his ass and whisper for a long time.
"What about the scream, the soul? I didn't even frown when I went to the grassland with Sister Xue'er and got a knife, why did I look like a girl when I arrived here? ”
One of them took down the black cloth and revealed his face, who was it not Shao Ning?
Xiao Jing wanted to go up for a bear hug, but after thinking about the experience of the car ahead, he stopped and smiled: "What's the matter with you kid, why is it inexplicably gone?" ”
Shao Ning said proudly: "This son naturally went to investigate, otherwise how could he save your life at the last moment?" ”
Xiao Jing looked at him with a smile and said nothing. Shao Ning, who wanted to brag, looked at him fearlessly for a while, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, Lao Tzu will tell you the truth."
That day, I found some clues, and then I came to the cliff here. I was looking at the mountain well, but a wicked man came behind me silently, and while I was concentrating, he pushed it behind me......"
Xiao Jing was silent. From the moment he saw Shao Ning's shoes, he knew that things were by no means simple, and it turned out that someone really made a dead hand.
The reason why the shoe was left in a conspicuous place was either to demonstrate, or to move it a distance to mislead the latecomers, anyway, there was no good intention.
Shao Ning continued: "Fortunately, my son's life should not be extinguished, and he was held up by a few branches on the cliff, and then I jumped to the stone platform that protruded below. Although he was injured, fortunately, his body did not break bones.
I don't know if the person who did the black hand has left, and I have stayed up for a long time in the place where I can't get up and down, and no one has come to save me, and there is a small hole next to it that one person can barely get into, so I got out on my stomach. Hey, I didn't expect that the path was leading to the coal yard, so I picked up a big bargain and got a clear picture of the situation in the dark......
Lao Tzu originally said that he slipped away at night today, but in the evening, when they tied someone in, I saw that the person was you, and I knew it when it turned into ashes...... I can't say it, and I can only take risks to save people. ”
Shao Ning said with foam at the mouth, and the thin young man beside him took off the black cloth covering his face very stiffly and smiled at Xiao Jing.
According to Shao Ning, the man's nickname was Monkey, and he was also a slave laborer in the coal yard. On the day of the collapse, he broke his stomach so he didn't go to the mine, and after the earthquake, he took advantage of the chaos to escape, and also rescued a brother from the same village.
Later, because he was unfamiliar with the place and did not dare to run far, he met Shao Ning in the mountains. When the monkey was in his hometown, he heard that Shao Gongzi was a reporter, and he heard that the other party wanted to expose the evil things here, so he stayed without saying a word.
Xiao Jing looked the monkey up and down and asked, "Where are you from, and how did you come to Gaoluan County?" ”
The monkey smiled bitterly: "If you go back to Gongzi, the villain is a traveling businessman." The home is not very far, just more than 100 miles away. Last year, the villain went out to do business, but he met bandits halfway, who not only robbed the goods, but also sold me and other people to this ravine, and it has been more than half a year. ”
Xiao Jing nodded and said, "So, you know everything here?" Who are the people working in the coal shafts, and how much was damaged when the ground collapsed? ”
The monkey sighed: "Most of the people who are forced to do hard labor are the hard people who have been robbed, and there are also a few rich sons. Everyone has been coming for a different time, the longer ones have been two or three years, and the shorter ones are only ten days and half a month.
Life here is hard, and there is a lot of work to do. The overseers beat and scolded at every turn, and gave some porridge and steamed buns at every meal, and many people couldn't stand the disease and starved to death. There are also people who want to escape, but I haven't seen anyone succeed. After those people were caught, they were beaten severely, and if they were unlucky, they might be killed directly, and if they were lucky, they would have to continue to work with injuries in a few days, but most of them would not live for more than a month.
The mine collapsed when there was no landslide, and a dozen or so people were buried that time, but the steward here didn't take it seriously at all, so everyone should work. Only a few days later, a man was brought in from outside to fill the gap...... The villain's heart is like a mirror, and these eighty percent are traffickers.
Hey, everyone said that the mine was too yin, and I was afraid that if I accidentally disappeared when I went to the mine, I would never see my family again.
There were several pits in the col, and more than 70 people should have been mining on the day of the collapse. Except for one or two people who happened to be at the entrance of the cave, the rest should all be buried underneath, and they didn't come out alive, miserable......"
As soon as he talked about the events of that day, the monkey opened up the conversation. Speaking of emotion, this thin but resolute-looking man whimpered and shed tears.
Hearing this, Xiao Jing's face became very terrifying.
More than 70 lives, just gone?
If you count the people who died with hatred one after another, there are definitely no less than 100 innocent people who died here. These people are other people's husbands, fathers, sons, and the pillars of the family.
There is nothing more tragic in the world than the fact that they were taken captive to this inexplicable place, and who died inexplicably in silence, and who disappeared silently, and who did not even have the opportunity to return their bones to their homeland.
If Xiao Jing and Shao Ning hadn't been rescued by Lu Shanshan last time, then I'm afraid that what awaits them is also such a fate, right?
Xiao Jing said in a deep voice: "Only we can get justice for the victims." ”
He looked at the monkey with relief. Shao Ning did a good job, and the two survivors are ready-made witnesses.
Before he could ask, Shao Ning hurriedly said, "The monkey has a blood book written by the bitter masters in rags in his hand, and there are handprints on it. The people who were caught were angry with each other, and he remembered the hometowns of many people. In addition, not only did he run out, but he also stole the account books......"
There was a little smile on Xiao Jing's tense face. The monkey is really a clever man, and so much evidence, combined with all kinds of traces of the scene that cannot be completely destroyed, is enough to convict the culprit behind it.
He just wanted to open his mouth to praise Shao Ning, but the smile on his face suddenly became very strange: "I said, how can you use smoke, isn't this a trick of a little thief?" ”
Shao Ning said proudly: "Didn't my son mix the rivers and lakes back then? Regardless of the three teachings and the nine streams, useful tricks must be learned. You can't suffer twice, since you and I are unlucky in this, we can only let others follow our way in the future. I just have a chance today, so I'll try it with the guards. ”
Xiao Jing: "How did the people outside put it down?" ”
Shao Ning: "After the collapse of the ground, no one worked, and there were many fewer guards watching the field, and there were only two or three people on duty at night." Ben Gongzi and the monkey found an opportunity to put sweat medicine in their supper. Hey, it's just a pity that the person in your house didn't eat, otherwise why bother? ”
Xiao Jing: "...... You've got enough stuff on you. So, do you still have that medicine for women? ”
Shao Ningqi said: "How do you know? ”
