I have to say that Luo Ren and the guards were quite respectful to Nie Feng and Long Datong, everything for food, clothing, and housing had already been prepared, and even the water for washing Nie Feng's feet before resting at night was personally called by the maid in cuiyi.

But despite this, Nie Feng still had a trace of uneasiness in his heart, he remembered that he had asked about the identity of the leader of Luo Ren, but he was skipped by the other party's big grin, and that look seemed to be quite indifferent, so that Nie Feng couldn't help but swallow it back into his stomach again if he wanted to ask next.

But after thinking about it, Nie Feng felt more and more that there were a lot of questions in it, Luo Ren gave him the impression that in addition to being bold, it seemed that he had never mentioned who was sent by Mufu from the beginning, when he arrived, and he had never issued even a little status symbol, at first Nie Feng thought it was Luo Ren's arrogant character, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that Nie Feng's judgment was not valid, and Luo Ren seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

"You must figure this out tomorrow! If you play tricks on me again, then it's no wonder that I have the First Killing Sword in my hand!"

In his own stone cave, Nie Feng muttered unconsciously, then flicked the blade of the sword, and after a faint buzzing sound, he raised his hand and retracted it into the sheath.

There is no day or night in the cave, but every batch of mined ore will always produce some useless rocks after the first screening by man, and these rocks will be transported out of the cave almost every two or three hours, and it is this sonorous sound of wheels that woke Nie Feng up again.

After a cursory wash of his face, Nie Feng pushed open the wooden door of his small space, and it happened that Long Datong on the side seemed to be waking up from a big dream, and he had just opened his wooden door in a daze.

In front of them were three small wooden carts, the wooden carts were full of abandoned rocks, and next to each wooden cart were two topless miners, who were sweating and pushing the wooden carts towards the entrance of the cave, and the three wooden carts were followed by two guards in front and behind, each holding a sharp spear in his hand, and the two in front of him seemed to be quite impatient and shouting.

Nie Feng's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, the conditions here are already unbearable, but these guards don't seem to be very respectful to the miners who are on the front line of labor, not only that, but they also seem to be beating and scolding anytime and anywhere, it seems that the miners here are really like slaves, with no status and dignity at all!

Long Datong's gaze at Nie Feng also revealed a trace of helplessness. The two greeted each other, and together they headed for the living room deep in the cave. After walking a short distance, I clearly heard a loud and small shout, as if many people were sitting around gambling on something.

"Hahaha, Brother Nie and Brother Long, good morning!"

A burst of heroic laughter came suddenly, Nie Feng turned his head to look, it turned out that outside the crowd of seven or eight people, Luo Ren was looking at the two of them with a smile, as if the latter had a high status and did not participate in the gambling of ordinary guards.

"Hehe, Brother Luo, early!"

Nie Feng, Long and Datong both hugged their fists and saluted. And those guards who were gambling on the head of the fight only said hello when they found that Nie Feng and the others were approaching, and continued to fall into the excitement of the gambling fight.

"Hahaha, let the two brothers laugh, the cave is boring, these brothers are betting on the speed of the crawling insects, if the two brothers are interested, you might as well come and bet on it?"

Luo Ren invited with a smile, but the eyes that looked at Nie Feng and the others seemed to reveal a taste of disbelief, presumably based on their own inference, Nie Feng and the others should not like this.

As Luo Ren expected, Nie Feng directly waved his hand to refuse, as for Long Datong, he seemed to be a little interested, but when he saw Nie Feng's slightly tense face, he had to temporarily suppress the impulse in his heart and waved his hand gently at Luo Ren.

However, immediately after Nie Feng's words, Luo Ren couldn't help frowning, because the former asked to visit the mining site on the front line now, so as to prepare for the next guard work.

To say that Nie Feng's task was to be a guard, it was reasonable to go to the front line to visit, but Luo Ren's unnatural and slightly frowning brows did not escape Nie Feng's eyes, which made Nie Feng further confirm that the latter must be hiding something.

After seeing Nie Feng's resolute expression, Luo Ren had no choice but to stop the gambling between the guards on the side, and led the team to slowly walk deeper into the cave, while Nie Feng Long Datong followed closely behind Luo Ren, looking carefully everywhere he looked, hoping to find some clues about what Luo Ren was hiding.

After another walk of incense, there was a faint sound of clanging and knocking on the stone wall in front of him, and the surrounding air unconsciously brought a small coolness, making people breathe unconsciously, Nie Feng understood that the mining site should be not far away.

After continuing to move forward for dozens of steps, the sides became more wide, and even a faint light came from the front as far as the eye could see, as if it was almost at the end of the cave and was about to walk out.

"Hehe, don't hide it from the two brothers, the resources here are poor, the materials are scarce, and the miners recruited are even more mountain villagers, unruly and untamable, so for the convenience of management, the means of implementation may be more stringent, if the two of them see anything unusual, please don't worry, hehehe!"

Luo Ren's face showed a hint of unnaturalness, but he quickly suppressed it.

"Hehe, that's nature!"

Long Datong echoed and laughed softly, while Nie Feng on the side didn't speak, but his face was faintly serious.

"Ouch......"

A slight moan reached everyone's ears, and Luo Ren's originally slightly smiling face stiffened for a moment.

Looking up, beside the potholed mountain wall not far away, a man in ragged clothes about forty years old was lying on his side with his face down, rubbing his chest with one hand and the other, looking in pain.

Nie Feng frowned unconsciously, walked a few steps quickly, and caught up with everyone.

"This old man, what's wrong with you?"

Nie Feng's words stirred in the cave, and soon the man listened to him, like a frightened beast, the man's originally lowered head quickly raised, and his withered yellow eyes revealed unparalleled panic and fear, and then after a desperate struggle, he finally staggered to his feet, and ran forward without looking back.

"Hey......"

Nie Feng still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Luo Ren on the side.

"Hehe, Brother Nie doesn't have to chase it, this kind of thing happens almost every day, it's nothing more than some lazy miners who want to pretend to be sick and find a chance to rest, don't worry too much!"

Luo Ren's voice was still heroic, but for some reason it was heard in Nie Feng's ears, which made the latter feel a trace of disgust, but this feeling was quickly hidden by Nie Feng.

There is no one else here, and if the miner just now is lazy and slippery, there is no need to pretend to be seriously ill in such a place where no one is around, unless there is a problem with his brain, but this is obviously not the case in the scene just now.

Then there was only one possibility, that is, the man was in a state of extreme fear, for fear that his situation would be known by others, especially by these guards, and why was he afraid that the guards would know? From the man's behavior just now, Nie Feng seemed to have guessed a little bit in his heart.
