Chapter XXXVIII. Conspiracy to save people in the Mines
The night fell quietly, the bright moon hanging in the sky hid in the clouds for some time, the night wind blew, and the people who were still hanging out felt that the town was extremely lonely tonight, and they all walked quickly towards their homes.
The six people in the night, taking advantage of the cover of the night, came to the side door of the mine with their hands and feet. Yu Wenyue and Chu Qiao entered the courtyard first, waiting for this wave of patrolling guards to pass by, Chu Qiao went to the side door, and Yu Wenyue went to the stone prison where people were being held first.
Open the side door, let the four moon guards in, and lock it. With the four moon guards, they went in the direction where they had been hiding for a few days. After settling the moon guard, he headed for the stone prison.
Yu Wenyue saw that Chu Qiao was coming, and the two hid on the rockery not far from the stone prison, watching the change of guards. Finally, two hours later, the guard commander came with another guard, the four alternated, and the other two gradually left everyone's time, Chu Qiao lifted his internal strength, and used light skills to go to the top of the stone prison, and fell lightly, without a sound. Chu Qiao, who was squatting on the top of the prison, quickly threw two silver needles with his right hand that had been soaked in five steps, and in five breaths, the two guards fell to the ground and fainted.
Yu Wenyue saw the two of them fall to the ground, and hurriedly flew to Chu Qiao's side, squatted down and searched the person who seemed to be the commander, and sure enough, in the leather armor wristband, he found the key, took the key and walked towards the prison door, and when he hit the door, he alarmed Meng Feng, who had always slept lightly, and was about to make a sound but was interrupted by Yu Wenyue.
"Meng Feng, I'm Yu Wenyue, don't make a sound. We don't have much time right now. If you want to change two people to go out first, you will talk about it in detail later. ”
The two of them casually lit the sleeping hole of the two young children, carried them on their backs, and walked out, and then closed the door.
Fei Shen led people to the place where Yue Wei was, and after arranging the two of them, he flew back and opened the prison door, Chu Qiao walked in first, handed the key to Yu Wenyue, and Yu Wenyue put the key back into the leather armor wristguard of the commander lying on the ground, took out a small bottle from his arms, shook it in front of the noses of the two people lying on the ground, dodged into the prison, closed the door hard, and locked the door.
At this time, the two people lying on the ground woke up quietly.
"How did I fall asleep, not good." turned around and picked up the guard who was still lying on the ground next to him, and scolded: "Don't wake up yet, let's see if someone has run away." Otherwise, we will both be beheaded. ”
The guard lying on the ground was kicked and hurt before he woke up, and quickly got up and walked to the stone prison with the commander, and the two found that the people in the stone prison were still there, and the anxious tension in their hearts immediately relaxed, and they kicked the guard next to them and said: "No one is allowed to say what happened tonight, do you understand!" ”
The guard next to him hurriedly nodded in agreement. After a while, the guards who had changed shifts came, replaced the two commanders, and the commander explained a few words, and turned around and left with the guards who were guarding with him.
Looking at the guard commander who left, he didn't find anything abnormal, and the two of you in the stone prison breathed a sigh of relief, and then slowly moved towards Meng Feng and Mo'er, and saw that Mo'er was already asleep next to Meng Feng.
"Childe, you... You're alive. Meng Neng asked in a weak whisper, with tears in his eyes.
Yu Wenyue hurriedly raised her hand to check her pulse, and after half a cup of tea, Yu Wenyue relaxed a little and said, "Why is it a big problem, it's just that the internal breath is more chaotic, and the wound is a little inflamed." Then he took out another vial from his arms, poured out two pills, and put them in Meng Feng's mouth.
He looked sideways at Mo'er, raised his hand and checked his pulse: "Mo'er is fine, but she is a little malnourished and lacks qi and blood." ”
"That's good, fortunately, Mo'er is fine." Chu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked at Meng Feng again, he whispered to Yu Wenyue: "Yu Wenyue, I found that you are also quite capable of provoking Peach Blossom." You see the beauties crying. ”
Yu Wenyue said helplessly: "She is my subordinate, just a subordinate." Don't think about it. ”
Suddenly, the guard outside the door shouted: "What's the noise, sleep well, after tonight, you will be sent to the mine, why don't you take advantage of the rest now, you will suffer when you get there." ”
At dawn, the door to the cell opened, and one of the guards outside whipped and shouted, "Get up, lowly minions, it's time to go to the mines." ”
Yu Wenyue, Chu Qiao and others in the stone prison woke up one after another, Chu Qiao hugged Mo'er in his arms, watched everyone walk out of the stone prison one after another, and lined up towards the side door of the mine.
On the mountain road in the early morning, the rising sun has been a little scorching, shining on the earth, there are beams of light through the trees, the troops escorting the mine slaves are advancing mightily, the birds in the forest are chirping, the breeze blows with a hint of flowers, the people on the prisoner car are silent, only to hear the voice of a soldier in front of them: "General, ahead is the Yinshui mine." ”
"Let's go, finish the work early, and I'll go back to the reinstatement." Xue Zhileng said proudly.
The prisoner car escorting the miners slowly drove into the Yinshui mine, only to see that the original green and shady mountain walls were completely destroyed, and the mountains and rocks were everywhere and dusty. A gust of mountain wind blew, the sand and dust were all over the sky, and the eyes of the fascinated people were about to be opened, Xue Zhileng, who was riding a horse in front, hurriedly dismounted, and the cavalry behind also dismounted. I only heard Xue Zhileng turn around and snort a few times, and roared angrily: "What the hell is this place, it's not for people to stay, Lord Zhu quickly took in the mine slaves and packed the military supplies, I don't want to stay in this ghost place for a moment." ”
"No, the subordinate will do it, the general will go to the pergola to rest first, and the pergola will be much cleaner." Master Zhu, who was guarding the mine, said. A guard hurriedly came up behind him, leading Xue Zhileng towards the pergola. Then he turned around and said, "You send the mine slaves to the slave house, first pack up and send the tools according to the head, and let the doctor go with you, don't die before you work." ”
"No" replied to one of the guards beside Master Zhu.
The people who were locked in the prison cart and under the leadership of the guards, they got off the prisoner cart one after another and headed towards the place where the slaves were placed.
When they arrived at the so-called slave house, it was nothing more than a circular cave about ten zhang in size dug out of the mountain wall, and there were several torches on the rock wall of the cave. The ground was simply covered with several layers of withered grass and mats, and there was not even a decent bed.
On one side of the cave, there is also a gap, from which some simple food is piled up, not even too much water. Leaning against the wall, there were a few old people and children, leaning against the mountain wall in poor spirits, and occasionally coughing sounded, and the eyes of the children and the old people were only helpless and desperate, and then there were footsteps in the cave, and the sound was more and more, it should be that the miners who had gone out to work had returned.
Figures appeared in their sight one after another, it was a group of strong men who dragged their tired bodies in, among them two middle-aged people, who heard the coughing sound by the wall, and hurriedly ran over, only to hear him say: "Mother, how are you, those beasts don't even give medicine?"
The old man coughed and said, "Son, I'm fine, how can I ask for medicine when I come here!" As long as you're okay, your mother is fine. ”
When everyone heard this, they were not relieved of their sadness, but more of their hatred for the official eunuchs of the mine.
Yu Wenyue saw this scene, and his heart was also uncomfortable, he didn't expect the life of the mine slave to be so miserable, and he couldn't help but think of Xing'er and Xing'er's mother-in-law Luohe and the spies in the rivers and lakes, why do they have such beliefs, because they have seen too many such tragic scenes, and many have experienced the same treatment, so they will hate the nobles and stubbornly resist the entire slavery system.
Yu Wenyue turned his head to Chu Qiao and the others: "I'll go and take a look, you guys clean up first." ”
Chu Qiao and the others nodded, first settled Meng Feng and the others in their hands first, and after settling down, they went to the place where Yu Wenyue was.
The middle-aged man who was holding the old mother's hand looked at the two young men who were also slaves who came over for some reason, looked at Yu Wenyue, who arrived first, and said, "You guys are here today, let's rest more, we're fine." ”
Yu Wenyue looked at them and said lightly: "I'm a doctor, let me show the old man, maybe there is a way." After speaking, he started to diagnose the old man's pulse.
After a while, Yu Wenyue's brows furrowed slightly, and she said slowly: "Husband, this is a lung disease caused by dampness and cold, and it is necessary to separate the dampness and cold, and the cold in the body can be relieved." With that, he walked over to the other old men and children.
They are also all this symptom, after all, the cave is very wet and cold at night, and the sleeping cover is not cold-proof, and soon the weak physique, people who have no internal strength, will be infected with this damp cold.
Chu Qiao looked at Yu Wenyue's brows and frowned, his heart tightened, and he stepped forward to ask the reason for the matter, and after a while, Chu Qiao took Yu Wenyue's hand and signaled that he had something to say to him.
The two of them came to the place where the food was stored, and Chu Qiao said in a low voice: "I don't think it's a way to go on like this, I have to communicate with them first to understand some necessary information." ”
Yu Wenyue nodded and said, "The living conditions here are too harsh, and the poor physique can't last a few days, let alone the injured." ”
Chu Qiao's brows also tightened: "The doctor will come and watch in a while, if it is available, he will stay, if not, he will definitely not be a good person." ”
Yu Wenyue nodded, and the two walked back and sat down with Chu Qiao and them.
