Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Li Keyi followed his gaze and saw black smoke drifting into the sky from the depths of the jungle.

Seeing the thick black smoke, Li Keyi reacted instantly and said angrily: "Oh no, someone is using the black smoke to pass on information."

When Situ Ming heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "General, we have to send someone to stop it quickly. Otherwise, the news about the iron mine will spread all over Yongzhou City and Bashu."

When Li Keyi heard this, he realized the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly led his men to the depths of the jungle to check the situation, but he did not expect to collide with a group of mountain people.

Without saying a word, he arrested these people and asked them harshly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

His voice was very cold, as if if the mountain people didn't tell the truth, he would kill them without any chance of return.

The mountain people seemed not to understand what he said and could not help looking at him in confusion.

"Tell the truth now." Seeing the confused looks on their faces, Li Keyi was so angry that he pulled out a whip from the side and hit them hard.

The villagers cried out in pain and then cursed at Li Keyi.

Listening to their chattering, Li Keyi realized that these people could not understand him, and he also could not understand their language.

"You are foreigners." Li Keyi's face suddenly darkened, and after a while he drew his sword and killed them.

Seeing their bodies falling to the ground, Situ Minghao's eyelids jumped, and his breathing became increasingly rapid. "General, even if we don't understand what they are saying, we can still keep one alive and lure out the man behind them."

"Do you think I can't think of this?" Li Keyi rolled his eyes at Situ Ming without any hesitation. "These people are dressed like mountain people, but they can't understand our language. This is enough to prove that they are foreigners from Bashu."

"The aliens suddenly came to Mingyue Mountain and set off black smoke to tip off the enemy. This clearly shows that they have discovered an iron mine."

"It's better to kill them than to keep them alive. At least, apart from this black smoke, those waiting in Bashu can no longer get any more information from them."

Li Keyi's words made sense. Situ Ming followed his train of thought. Although he felt that their death would only attract attention, they were already dead. If he expressed his thoughts, Li Keyi would only get angry and embarrassed. So he deliberately pretended to be enlightened in order to please Li Keyi.

"You are worthy of being a general. You can actually think of this. Fortunately, I have been following the general. If I had to face these people alone, I would have fallen into their trap."

"You are like this because you lack experience. Once you learn more from me, you will be able to stand on your own." Li Keyi listened to Situ Ming's words with a rich smile on his face.

Seeing this, Situ Ming continued to flatter the man, making him feel very comfortable. Then he reminded Li Keyi to strengthen patrols to prevent attacks by foreigners.

Li Keyi took action immediately, and in less than half a day, the atmosphere in Mingyue Mountain became stagnant.

The people belonging to Yongzhou City had been brought out at this moment, but no one told them the reason why they were not mining, so when they found that the atmosphere in Mingyue Mountain was very wrong, they became very panicked.

"Erniu, what are these evil guys doing? Maybe they think we are not working hard enough and want to kill us directly and kidnap some more people." A pale-faced man looked around cautiously and lowered his voice.

His voice was choked and sad, as if the mining experience had made him lose hope for the future.

The man he called Erniu was a few years younger than him, but he looked very haggard at the moment, as if some bad guesses emerged in his mind, making him unable to control his wild thoughts.

"Da Li, I don't think things are that simple. After all, those who couldn't mine in the past were cruelly pushed into the cliff. How could they be allowed to stay in one place and rest like us?"

"But..." Dali felt more and more uneasy as he listened to his words, and his tone unconsciously revealed a hint of worry.

Erniu immediately held his hand and said firmly, "That's how we have to think. Otherwise, how can we have hope?"

At the end he couldn't control his emotions and he actually started crying.

His crying was so conspicuous that others unconsciously turned their eyes to him.

Dali noticed the change in everyone's mood and said with a wry smile: "He misses his family."

As soon as the word "family" was uttered, everyone with haggard looks fell into sadness, and then started crying one after another.

Sadness can be contagious. Dali, who had been relatively stable for a while, burst into tears when he thought of his family whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

They cried so sadly, as if they were mourning their own death.

The soldiers standing guard not far away had a headache after hearing this, and they immediately shouted at the people, "Why are you crying? If you cry again, I will send you to see the King of Hell."

The threatening voice frightened the people instantly. They quickly lowered their heads and sobbed silently.

The sight of them suppressing all their emotions was truly pitiful, but the soldiers didn't care about that. As long as the crying didn't reach their ears and give them a headache, they wouldn't care what these people were doing with their heads down.

Thus, this depressed mood lasted from night to dawn. The innocent and pitiful people not only cried their tears dry, but their bodies also became much weaker.

They gathered in groups of three or four, staring at the sun rising from the sky with numb eyes.

When they can see the new sun, they know that they have lived another day, but no one knows what the future will be like, so the feeling of being on the verge of death follows them like a shadow, making them lose hope for the future.

"The people who are here to pick them up are here, let them out quickly." Suddenly a few soldiers came in from outside. They glanced at the people who were in a very depressed spirit, and spoke in a rather cold tone.

"My dear officials, where are you planning to take us?"

"After a day's rest, we have recovered a lot, so we will definitely be able to mine a lot of minerals today."

"My parents are still waiting for me at home. I don't want to die. My dear officials, I can still mine. Please let me go back to mine."

When the people heard what the soldiers said, they mistakenly thought they were going to die and were all frightened.

"What kind of mines do you want to mine? People from Yongzhou City have come specially to pick you up. You'd better follow us quickly. If you delay, the people from Yongzhou City will probably make trouble." A soldier said unhappily when he heard the people begging to mine.

"Pick us up? What does this mean?" Dali was confused and looked at the soldiers with a bewildered look in his eyes.

"You are lucky. General Chen Changli came here specially yesterday and reached an agreement with our general. He is going to take you back to Yongzhou City to reunite with your families today." The soldier's tone was quite strange, as if he was envious and sighing.

"We are saved, is this true?" The people were a little bit unbelievable and did not dare to move for a long time.
