Lichen and they were in the woods, but fortunately they hired a local guide, took a shortcut, and went out of the forest when it was about to be dusk. Rao is that they have been very careful, but Chen Ming's foot is still bitten by snakes, there are most snakes in the forest, this forest is like a tropical rainforest, it is hot and humid inside, they must be careful with every step they take.

Fortunately, Xiaoxiao had prepared an antidote pill for Lichen before, and Chen Ming took the antidote pill, although his foot was injured, it was not very serious and did not affect his walking.

When they arrived at the exit of the forest in the evening, about a hundred meters ahead, there was a big mountain in front of them, as if blocking the way.

"Look, that's it, that's the mine, there are a lot of workers there, but some of them are wrongdoers or criminals, and they will be transferred there to reform, and the work is the dirtiest and most tiring work in the mine."

The person who gave Lichen their guide said.

Li Chen looked at the mine not far ahead, there was a circle of earth walls outside, and he couldn't see the situation inside, but there were many people coming in and out at the entrance, so it was conceivable that there must be a lot of workers in this mine.

"Let's go over now, Chen Ming, you and this uncle will stay here to rest, and we will come back to meet you when we find out about Han Jincheng."

Chen Ming's foot was bitten by a snake, even if Xiaoxiao's medicine was very effective, but it detoxified people and made them a little tired, not to mention that they still walked through the entire forest, just let them wait at the exit of the forest, in case something happened, they could also respond outside.

Chen Ming didn't refute, knowing that it was a drag on them to follow them now, so it was better to wait here and wait for them to find out the situation first.

Li Chen and Su Heng specially wore the clothes of the locals today, so that they could move better, and before it was dark, many workers who had left work were better able to find people.

Lichen and the others pretended to be looking for work and came to the entrance of the mine, which was a huge labor scene, with sand and stones piled up around the entrance of the cave, and on one side of the coal that had been dug up on the ground and had not yet been transported.

The workers got off work one after another, and the clothes on their bodies were so dirty that they couldn't see the color, and their faces were full of exhaustion. While chatting with the foreman, Lichen looked at the people who came out of the door, and the workers here were divided into several types.

One is the local people, who are also the best paid here, and if they are far from home, they will also arrange accommodation. The second type is hired people, most of whom come from far away or from other cities, and live in worse places than the Haraku. The last is that the wrongdoers are forced to work here, they don't have much pay a month, and they can't go out and be guarded, and they don't have any freedom at all, especially their identification documents are also put away, and they can't run away if they want to, and the punishment for catching them is even more severe.

Lichen chatted with the foreman at the door to ask if there were any recruits, they pretended to be looking for a job, and kept an eye on the people who got off the work, but groups of people left, and they didn't see Han Jincheng inside.

chatted with the foreman, and finally the foreman was impatient and drove them away, because he found that they were talking nonsense, not like people who wanted to work here at all, and it was dark at this time, and it was even more difficult to find people, so Lichen They didn't want to continue to consume.

It was dark outside, and Lichen and Su Heng had no choice but to turn back to the exit of the forest, where Chen Ming and the local guide had set up a simple tent, and they also had a place to stay at night.

"How's that asked?" Chen Ming asked as soon as he saw them.

Li Chen shook his head, "I didn't see Han Jincheng, and it's hard to ask if we can't get in at the door, but I know where most of the workers there come from." It's hard to find someone when it's dark now, so I'll continue to look for it tomorrow. ”

Su Heng next to him had been thinking about things since he came back from the road.

"According to the people over there, I don't think my cousin is likely to be hired there, but caught there, our previous speculations were right, those people who got off work in the evening were either locals or hired people to work here, even if all of us looked at it and still wouldn't find my cousin, I think my cousin wasn't in it at all, tomorrow we might as well go directly to those who were arrested to work there, so that we might be able to find my cousin faster."

"Yes······ We'll go and inquire tomorrow morning, but I don't know where they will be locked up and where they will work, but the place where the criminals should generally live is in the worst conditions, and the work is also the most tiring, let's look in that direction, and we should be able to find it. Lichen said.

The workers I saw today were not all the people on the construction site, at least some of them didn't see it, so if Han Jincheng was here, then he must be among those who didn't see it.

Su Heng and Chen Ming both felt that Lichen's words were very right, so they planned to let the guide stay tomorrow, and they would go together in the morning to find it again.

The four of them nested in the tent, but fortunately, Sister-in-law Qing prepared a lot of dry food for them, and Chen Ming had caught two pheasants in the forest with the guide before, and a few fish were hung in the river.

It rained in the middle of the night, but fortunately it stopped at dawn, but it also let Lichen know that he had to find Han Jincheng as soon as possible, this side is remote, close to no people's homes, and no one will take them in at night if they are not locals, so it can't be delayed, it is important to find Han Jincheng as soon as possible.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Lichen and the others woke up, and according to the place where the guide told them last night, there was a row of the worst living places at the back of the shed where the mine workers lived, and they heard that there lived a group of people who had made mistakes, who went to work first and finished work late, and did the dirtiest and most tiring work, because they went out early and finished late, so few people saw them, and they did not see them a few times in a month.

Li Chen and Su Heng Chen Ming just planned to go there directly before dawn to find it, at that time, many people had not yet gotten up to find someone, and they also hoped to find Han Jincheng there.

The workers' quarters were at the foot of the hill opposite the mine, not far from where Lichen is now.

It's just after four o'clock, and there's still more than an hour before dawn. Now they can sneak in before dawn to find someone.

The three men hurried to the workers' quarters, where there were three rows of sheds surrounded by walls more than a man high. There are guards guarding the door, and the two guards are yawning and nagging, and there are two big wolf dogs behind them, which look like they can't go in, think about it, after all, there are so many people living here, if you don't manage it or defend it strictly, some people inside will want to run away if they make mistakes.
