When He Dongchen was sleeping in a daze, he was woken up by a basin of cold water.

He slowly opened his eyes, and found that he was still sticking out of the dirty, damp shack, surrounded by people lying around, and the air was filled with a foul smell.

"Hurry up, get up and work, if anyone dares to be lazy, I will beat him to death......

With the urging of the overseer, everyone dragged their tired bodies to their feet, and took heavy steps towards the deeper darkness.

This is a mine, and it is a coal mine.

He Dongchen could barely remember why he had come here, he only knew that when he woke up, he was already lying in the middle of those people.

The wound on his arm had been festering because it had not been treated in time. Because the wound was inflamed, he almost had a fever repeatedly.

No one here cares if anyone else lives or dies.

Everyone is a taciturn walking corpse, an emotionless labor machine.

Their expressions are numb, their eyes are gloomy, and they can fight for a mouthful of meat, even a mouthful of clean water.

They do high-intensity work every day, but they don't have enough to eat and don't have warm clothes.

In He Dongchen's past career, he has encountered countless difficulties, but there has never been such a ......

Despair.

He Dongchen tried to escape, but he only escaped from the mine at the farthest, surrounded by a vast forest, with towering trees covering the sky and the sun, and the direction was difficult to discern.

He was so weak that he couldn't escape from the endless mountains, even if no one was chasing him.

He was in a trance every day, and his spirit was sluggish, as if normal thinking would make him lose his strength.

He Dongchen found for the first time that everything he had learned in the past seemed to have become useless garbage.

But......

He Dongchen didn't want to accept his fate.

He constantly gave himself courage and tried to keep himself awake.

Since you can't do anything for the time being, the only thing you can do is to maintain your physical strength.

He Dongchen followed a group of people to work under the mine, he secretly counted the time, and secretly observed everyone.

At the end of the day's work, they carried the coal mine they had dug up.

Unlike before, the overseer did not let them eat, but made them stand in a row and slowly pace in front of them with a whip.

"Listen, from today onwards there will be another overseer to manage you. I tell you, he is not a good man and a woman."

"If any of you are disobedient, or want to run away secretly, hum...... He will let you know where hell is on earth."

As the overseer finished speaking, a light came in not far ahead.

An emaciated man approached.

His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally, it was fixed on He Dongchen's body.

He smiled, and He Dongchen's eyes flashed with a brief moment of surprise, and then regained his composure.

"How? Didn't you expect that we would meet in such a place?" Yang Moran walked in front of He Dongchen.

He looked at He Dongchen's embarrassed and weak appearance, his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help laughing.

"He Dongchen, He Dongchen, it turns out that you also have today?"

He Dongchen didn't respond, just lowered his head, clenched his fists and sighed silently while closing his eyes.

"Yo, the wound is still bleeding pus? This is not good, it will kill people if you speak badly." Yang Moran raised He Dongchen's injured arm, "Tut-tut...... You say, if you let Qianyue know about this......

He Dongchen's expression was impressed.

"It's okay, I'll take care of it for you. As you know, I used to study medicine, and although I haven't officially operated on a patient, the theoretical knowledge is still there."

"In this kind of wilderness, Mr. He, you will just settle."

As he spoke, Yang Mo took a step back, pulled out the dagger from the outside of his calf, and took out a lighter, burning the sword red.

"You two hold him down." Yang Moran motioned to the two people beside He Dongchen.

The two looked at each other sluggishly, and pressed He Dongchen's shoulders like puppets.

"Two more."

Two more people walked to He Dongchen's side.

He Dongchen guessed what Yang Moran was going to do, he didn't want to be at his mercy, but he knew in his heart that it was useless for him to struggle.

"If you beg for mercy now, it's too late, and I might let you go."

Yang Moran laughed, his smile, under the light of the faint light, looked a little hideous.

He Dongchen sneered and looked at Yang Moran, as if he was watching a clown who jumped off the beam perform alone.

His contemptuous eyes completely annoyed Yang Moran.

Yang Moran grabbed He Dongchen's arm, and the fiery sword slammed He Dongchen's wound.

"Uh-huh......".

The severe pain made He Dongchen couldn't help but snort, and cold sweat gushed out involuntarily.

In fact, it is redundant to have someone hold him down. He didn't struggle at all.

Yang Moran saw that He Dongchen was so strong, he deliberately increased his strength, and used his sword to continuously dig the rotten flesh on He Dongchen's wound until the flesh and blood were blurred.

This scene made everyone present shudder.

Yang Moran enjoyed the process of torturing He Dongchen very much.

He did all this, and he was sweating himself.

He reluctantly bandaged He Dongchen's wound and sprinkled some anti-inflammatory drugs.

"He Dongchen, do you know why I don't kill you now?"

The pain made He Dongchen extremely conscious, he leaned against the wall, his face was pale, and his eyes were still clear and firm.

"Kill me? Hmph, Yang Moran, are you qualified?"

Yang Moran's face changed.

"As long as he doesn't say let me die, you don't dare let me die, I said, right?"

Yang Moran frowned, he walked in front of He Dongchen step by step, and said coldly, "He Dongchen, a person, too smart, will also annoy people."

"Really? That's because you're too weak. Yang Moran, you and I have never stood on the same level."

"Even now, you think you can control my destiny, but ...... You're just a pawn in someone else's hands, and you're a pawn that will be abandoned at any moment."

He Dongchen's words hit Yang Moran's sore spot.

After so many years of hard work, he tried his best and sacrificed everyone around him, but in the end, he ......

He could only hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

"Yang Moran, you...... Ah......h

Yang Moran didn't give He Dongchen a chance to continue talking, he raised his knee and slammed it into He Dongchen's lower abdomen.

"You're right, I don't really have anything right now. So, He Dongchen, you must not die, because I am the only one left with you."

"I want you to be with me, in this place where birds don't, to sink forever. I'll come to see you every day."
