Chapter 315: Peace (Second Watch)
If you can't see the catty in it anymore, it's a strange thing.
But......
Ordinary mines transport smelted iron, but why is it the other way around?
And in order to hide people's eyes and ears, ore and scrap iron are specially used to cover up, and they are pulled out every day.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would have suspected that there was something wrong with the iron from this mine!
Ye Chutang's gaze moved to the overseer who beat people, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a door behind him, but what was inside was unknown.
But what is certain is that the smelted iron was sent there.
"This iron ore is self-produced and sold, which is quite interesting." Ye Chutang was thoughtful.
Shen Yanchuan didn't speak.
didn't hear his response, Ye Chutang turned his head sideways:
"Do you thinkβ"
There was a sudden warm touch on the forehead.
Ye Chutang moved.
The surrounding air seemed to be frozen, Ye Chutang blinked, but only saw the man's smooth jaw line.
Shen Yanchuan was standing beside her, and his eyes were farther away, so he naturally saw everything clearly.
Thinking of the very regular sound of knocking iron that he had just heard, the guess in his heart was about to come out.
It was this moment of contemplation that made him not hear Ye Chutang's words for the first time.
When he realized what was happening, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and he subconsciously looked at the woman in front of him.
It was only then that he finally realized that they seemed to be too close.
The already small space seemed to be even more cramped, and even each other's breathing could be heard clearly.
However, what Ye Chutang was thinking at this time was that this man's face was covered, but there didn't seem to be any other place.
Well...... This man is really good-looking, his shoulders and neck are straight, even the Adam's apple is beautiful, and when he slides up and down slightly, he still reveals a bit of a rare sense of abstinence.
People can't help but -
Endure.
Ye Chutang closed his eyes and inhaled softly without moving.
How could she think about these things when she was busy with business???
It is said that men are confused, and it is true.
I shouldn't have drunk that pot of wine in the evening......
"You've been drinking?"
The man's low and scattered voice sounded in his ears, and Ye Chutang immediately raised his head, and the moment he looked at each other, his heart became inexplicably empty:
"Huh?"
This man can't see what she's thinking!?
Shen Yanchuan didn't expect her to react so much, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
"You smell alcohol, can't you smell it?"
In fact, the breath was very light, but the distance between the two people, he knew five people, and he felt very strong when he smelled it.
The tip of Ye Chutang's nose wrinkled.
"It's okay......"
Before she came, she deliberately went to the wine-smelling place, and the blame was that this person was Shen Yanchuan, who was too keen.
"Drank a little. How, can't I drink it? β
Why is his eyes so strange?
Shen Yanchuan seemed to smile: "Of course you can." I was just surprised that Miss Ye Er was willing to drink these ordinary wines outside. β
Ye Chutang was slightly stunned.
She doesn't seem to have ever picked a mouth on this, right? Why did Shen Yanchuan say something like this inexplicably-
"I didn't drink a lot of good wine from the Yunlai Wine Store in the capital, but I came to this small city to sip the nameless yellow soup, Miss Ye Er was so interested."
Ye Chutang: "......"
She was silent for a long time, and finally spoke in disbelief:
"Shen Yanchuan."
"I just didn't bring you wine, are you holding such a grudge?"
Shen Yanchuan glanced at her and said lightly: "It's hard for Miss Ye Er to remember this." β
Ye Chutang: "......"
If Shen Yanchuan denied it, it would be fine, but he would just admit it directly!?
The dignified Dingbei Hou Shizi is not short of that pot of wine!
Ye Chutang's lips moved slightly, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a noise in the distance, and immediately looked quietly.
Several figures seemed to be carrying something.
Because it is far away, the light is not good, and the figures overlap, so it is difficult to see what it is.
But the next moment, Ye Chutang saw them throw the "thing" out.
It's a person!
"Phew! What a bad luck! One of them spat on the ground, "This is the third one who died this month, right?" β
Another chimed in: "Isn't it? If we die like this, we won't be able to finish our work! β
Between the words, there was no pity for the death of the worker, only complaints.
"At the end of the day, I'm still tired! But who isn't tired? I saw that he was still in good shape before, but he turned out to be so disobedient! β
"It doesn't matter if he's dead, but it's a trouble to recruit someone to make up for it when he goes back."
"Shhhh Be quiet! Turn around and let people hear, this little life is gone!? β
The man who was said was even more angry.
"What's wrong with that? It's just a lot of silver given before, but recently, there has been no movement at all, and there has been no meat for several days! Who can stand it if it goes on like this!? β
"Didn't Liu Gong say it, the situation is special, just wait for this paragraph! Besides, what if you can't stand it? Even if you're here, do you still want to be able to go out with all your mustaches? β
The speaker's tone lowered, and several people fell silent.
"That's it! Let's go! β
Several people turned to leave.
Ye Chutang's eyebrows furrowed.
Listening to the words of those people, it seemed that dead people in this mine were common, and they didn't care about it from top to bottom.
What exactly are they doing?
"Would you like to go over and have a look?"
Suddenly, a man's inquiry came from his ears.
Ye Chutang turned his head and looked at him.
For a moment, her jaw tapped.
"Okay."
There was only one overseer guarding the gate, and if he was dealt with, he would be able to enter inside.
Of course, you don't have to think about it to know that there must be a lot of hurdles inside.
They're goneβ
"If we can find the best, if we can't, we must leave within half an hour." Shen Yanchuan said.
They don't have much time left, and it has to be if everything goes well.
Ye Chutang nodded in agreement.
β¦β¦
Inside the city.
Su Peier lay on the bed, tossing and turning.
The couch next to it was empty, and Miss Ye Er hadn't come back since she left in the morning.
She must have gone to the iron mine outside the city, right?
Su Peier folded her hands and prayed silently in her heart.
I hope she's safe......
