Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 135 Iron Ore
Jiang Chuyue's mood also became heavier. "Where are they now?"
Although she knew she was just an ordinary person among the vast sea of people, Jiang Chuyue still wanted to do something. Even if it was just to make the lives of ordinary people a little better, it was better than doing nothing.
"Don't ask that." The aunt was shocked by Jiang Chuyue's bold words. She turned her head and looked around several times. After making sure that there were no yamen runners nearby, she lowered her voice to remind him.
"Sister, you can't say that. If those yamen runners hear it, I'm afraid you'll be the next one to suffer."
Jiang Chuyue didn't expect the situation to be so tense. She knew her aunt was kindly reminding her, so she pretended to be scared, but she still didn't give up. "Aunt, my uncle came to town to buy things a few days ago, and he never came back. I came to town this time not only to buy things, but also to look for my uncle. I heard what you said just now, and I thought my uncle might have been taken away by them, so I asked anxiously."
The aunt had not expected this to happen. She looked at Jiang Chuyue with a bit of pity in her eyes, "Sister, don't even think about it. They have taken all these people away, and many of them have been beaten. I would say that these people who have been taken away will not have a good ending. Don't even think about looking for your uncle. The world is not good now, and it's not easy to protect yourself."
As she spoke, the aunt looked at Jiang Chuyue for several times. Seeing that her hair was not tied up in a bun, she said something else, "I see that you are not married yet. Life will be even harder for a girl. You should think more about yourself."
Jiang Chuyue knew that her aunt was kind-hearted, and after many attempts she made sure that her aunt really did not know where the people who were taken away were being held. After Jiang Chuyue left the shop with the snacks, she wandered around the street aimlessly, but she never expected to run into Shopkeeper Wei while doing so.
"Manager Wei?" Jiang Chuyue saw Manager Wei coming out of the yamen with her own eyes. If she was not mistaken, the man who came out as Manager Wei was probably not a simple person. From his attire, one could tell that he was probably the magistrate of the town.
Jiang Chuyue followed Shopkeeper Wei for a long time before she walked around the alley and got in front of him, pretending to meet him by chance.
Shopkeeper Wei didn't expect to run into Jiang Chuyue here, but he was only surprised for a moment before quickly returning to normal, "Sister Jiang, why are you here too?"
Jiang Chuyue took out the things in her hand and shook them, "I came to the town to buy some things."
Jiang Chuyue noticed the changes in Shopkeeper Wei's expression and took the initiative to attack without noticing anything unusual. "Why did Shopkeeper Wei come to town? There is no shortage of anything in the county."
"I'm here to look for someone. Something happened at home." Manager Wei stopped there. If Jiang Chuyue asked further, it would be a bit strange.
Jiang Chuyue was not in a hurry, "Is the matter resolved?"
"It's almost solved."
"That's good." Jiang Chuyue walked beside Manager Wei, and the two chatted casually. Jiang Chuyue pretended to reveal that her uncle was lost in the town.
"I don't know where the person has gone. Maybe something happened to him." Jiang Chuyue sighed.
Shopkeeper Wei stopped walking. Jiang Chuyue took a few steps forward before she realized that Shopkeeper Wei hadn't caught up with her. She turned around and asked in confusion, "Shopkeeper Wei?"
"When did your uncle go missing?" As soon as Manager Wei said this, Jiang Chuyue knew that something was going to happen.
"It was the day before yesterday. He originally came to town to help buy some things, but he never came back. I waited for him at home for a long time but he didn't come back. So I had to go to town to find him and buy some things at the same time."
Manager Wei knew a little about Jiang Chuyue's family situation. He knew that she had younger brothers and sisters, and he also knew that Jiang Chuyue's husband was in poor health. So when Jiang Chuyue came to look for someone, Manager Wei didn't think there was anything wrong.
"If I remember correctly, there was a disturbance in the town the day before yesterday, and the government officials went out to suppress it and took away many people. I'm afraid your uncle was also taken away because they mistook him for a troublemaker."
Since the cooperation between Manager Wei and Jiang Chuyue is relatively smooth, he doesn't mind if he can help Jiang Chuyue a little.
"If you believe me, I can help you find out."
Jiang Chuyue was delighted. After thanking him repeatedly, she told everyone Xiao Li's name. Xiao Li was already dead, and she was sure that Shopkeeper Wei would not be able to find Xiao Li no matter how hard he tried.
"Okay, leave this matter to me. If there is any news..." It would be a troublesome matter to know how to pass the news to Jiang Chuyue.
Jiang Chuyue realized it for a long time, and quickly replied, "I'm staying at the Tong'an Inn in town. If Manager Wei has any news, just come to the Tong'an Inn to find me."
"Okay, whether there is news or not, I will send someone to inform you of the situation." After Manager Wei readily agreed to this matter, he separated from Jiang Chuyue. Jiang Chuyue went straight to the direction of Tongan Inn.
After booking a room at Tong'an Inn, he turned around and slipped out of the window of the room, secretly following the shopkeeper Wei. Hiding in the dark, he witnessed the meeting between the shopkeeper Wei and the county magistrate. The county magistrate arranged for the yamen runners to take the shopkeeper Wei to the place where the people who were detained the day before were detained.
Seeing that the road was getting more and more remote, Jiang Chuyue felt that something was not right and felt uneasy, but she still followed.
But he was still shocked when he saw an iron mine deep in the mountains. The mine was full of people who had been brought here these days. These people rose up in resistance just to fight for a way to survive, but they didn't expect that not only did they fail to fight for a way to survive, but they were trapped here and couldn't get out.
Every citizen in the mine is skinny, and it is obvious that they have never had a full meal. Jiang Chuyue has been in Wanshan Village for a long time, and seeing that the lives of the villagers in Wanshan Village are gradually getting better, she forgets that the lives of people in other places are very difficult.
Jiang Chuyue's eyes gradually became moist, but she couldn't help much now.
The only thing she could do was to figure out the terrain of the mine before anyone discovered her. After finding where they would rest at night, Jiang Chuyue hesitated for a moment, but still hid inside.
Outside, Manager Wei was looking for someone, but after searching the mine, he still couldn't find the person named "Xiao Li" that Jiang Chu mentioned.
Manager Wei was still worried, "Is there really no one named Xiao Li?" He glanced at them coldly, and those yamen runners felt a chill on their backs.
"I've asked everyone, and there really isn't one."
