Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"They always put them on the mine carts and transport them away." Zhao Dabao shook his head, "No one wants to do the job of transporting corpses..."

Wu Yan exerted force with his arms, swung the pickaxe in his hand, and smashed a piece of the cliff in front of him.

There was a dense golden light underneath, and a piece of bare ore was exposed, which was really eye-catching.

"Ah!" Zhao Dabao exclaimed.

Wu Yan was also a little surprised. This is indeed a fertile mine, and the annual output must be quite a lot, but why didn't Luoyang mention that there is such a good mine in Longyou Road?

Zhao Dabao pulled his sleeve, his eyes reddened: "Brother, big brother, can you give me half of this mine..."

"What do you want this mine for? You can't embezzle it." Wu Yan asked.

"Here, the food is distributed according to the weight of gold you dig every day... I've been hungry for several days and can't even chisel a stone." Zhao Dabao whispered, "I'll have the food and strength to pay you back after I dig up the gold. Is that okay?"

Wu Yan was silent for a moment, then he swung his pickaxe and chiseled a few times, chiseling out all the gold ore mixed with gravel and threw it all into Zhao Dabao's basket.

"Brother Pomegranate..." Zhao Dabao burst into tears.

He wiped it with his dirty sleeve and said, "Brother Pomegranate, if I can get out... or, or if there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you."

"No need, just cooperate with me and do something." Wu Yan said.

Zhao Dabao was stunned at first, then a look of ecstasy surged on his face: "Could it be, could it be that you..."

Wu Yan looked at him strangely: "What do you mean? It's just to make us live more comfortably."

Zhao Dabao nodded repeatedly, with a thousand guesses in his mind.

……

An unknown amount of time passed in the perpetually dark mine tunnel. Wu Yan estimated that about three hours had passed before it was the turn of the miners in their group to eat.

As expected, the meals were distributed according to the weight of gold dug, and the miners who dug nothing were only given a bowl of coarse millet rice.

Zhao Dabao got a piece of pork ribs, and he put the bones in his mouth and chewed them repeatedly, eating them cleanly.

Wu Yan was not worried that the rice was poisonous. After finishing his bowl of millet rice, he moved to a position closer to the mine entrance and started digging, always paying attention to the situation outside.

……

About a few hours later, there was a commotion outside.

"Sir, sir! We are calling out, someone has died!" a voice shouted.

"What are you shouting about!" the mine tunnel manager said impatiently and walked towards the No. C mine tunnel.

Wu Yan carried his basket on his back and moved closer to the entrance. He saw that the entrance to the No. C mine was the one opposite.

The miners seemed to have hidden themselves away. There were still some people moving ore, but now they were all gone.

The manager took a quick glance and saw a strong and tall miner busy at the entrance of the G-mine tunnel. He couldn't hold back his anger. He shouted, "The one over there, new here? Come over here!"

Wu Yan put down the basket and walked over.

"You, push this cart in, take the dead man on board, and transport him to the mine tunnel number 1! The one next to you." The manager was happy to tease the newcomer. Sure enough, seeing the tall man's resistance, he whipped him and scolded him, "Go quickly, do you want to die?"

Wu Yan was hit, but he didn't care. He pushed the mine cart from the middle of the main cave and walked into the No. C path.

Along the way, we saw many haggard miners huddled together, and some were crying.

Wu Yan frowned and said nothing as he walked forward, followed by the steward.

When we got to the depths of the mine, we saw a person lying at the corner in front of us. The person was too thin to be human, and he lay there straight without any reaction. No one dared to go forward to see him.

Wu Yan pretended to hesitate for a moment, then stepped forward and picked up the man before the steward got angry.

The body was so light that it looked unrecognizable.

Can such a person really mine?

It is not a normal move to prefer replacing miners in batches rather than giving them a full meal.

Wu Yan placed the still warm body in a mine cart and pushed it back.

The steward looked at him sideways and said, "You kid, aren't you afraid of corpses?"

"I didn't kill him, so I'm not the one you should be afraid of."

Even though Wu Yan was always calm, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

The butler really understood what he meant and sneered with forced calmness: "If there really were wronged spirits, you wouldn't be trapped here!"

He shouted, "Everyone, watch carefully! This is what happens when you don't mine properly. If you can't dig out even one piece of gold every day, you will starve to death! Everyone, be alert!"

Wu Yan said nothing, pushed the cart and took two quick steps out of Road C.

"Follow me." The manager took him to the Jihao Mine.

There were fewer miners in the No. 1 Mine Tunnel, and their spirits were not good. They were no longer surprised to see corpses.

Wu Yan looked around and found that compared with the two mine tunnels he had been to, this one had fewer traces of excavation and the supporting wooden frames were even more sparse, making it look more like a naturally formed cave.

The cave was very deep, and it became darker as we went deeper. The torches on the cave walls were glowing, and the entire cave was glowing yellow.

After walking for half a quarter of an hour, Wu Yan followed the steward through several forks in the road and finally walked into a cave that seemed to be formed completely naturally. After turning a corner, the view in front of him suddenly opened up, the skylight leaked through the cracks in the rocks above his head, and in front of him was a cliff.

"Throw the man off the cliff." the steward ordered.

Wu Yan looked up and saw that the cliff here was not very high. He could easily jump up using his lightness skills and escape.

They dragged the corpse to the edge of the cliff, and below was a small lake with some bones and half-rotten arms in it.

It seems that the corpse pit at Geng was specially reserved to scare new miners.

The number of bones is probably almost dozens of people.

A little less than Wuyan imagined.

It seems that this place has only recently turned into a man-eating den.

"Don't even think about escaping from here. The bottom of the lake is sealed and there is no way out." Seeing that he seemed to be thinking about something, the steward warned him, "Someone jumped into the lake from here before, but ended up drowning here."

Wu Yan nodded.

He will not leave for the time being, as he still needs to find a route to secretly transport the gold out of the mine.

……

Mrs. Zhou acted very quickly. On the morning of the third day, Gu Yue and others received her message.

The news came from the wife of the Feng family, who was in the jewelry business. Her master had almost finished the white powder and was going out to "entertain" tonight. She also secretly asked someone to check the carriage in the Feng Mansion. There was a gold mine inside!

According to the servant beside Master Feng, the meeting place was the charity cemetery in Wanping Town in the east.

"These people are still doing corpse business? The meeting point of the two towns is at the charity cemetery." Gu Yue muttered.

He and Gu Xu arrived at the charity cemetery in Wanping Town at night and ambushed behind several thin coffins in the yard.

Touching the cheap coffin, Gu Yue's dream went back to two years ago.

"There are unclaimed corpses everywhere here. It's eerie during the day and no one comes near at night." Gu Xu said.
