Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!

Shopkeeper Wei was still unwilling to give up, and asked the yamen runners to summon everyone to his presence. Although the yamen runners were reluctant, "But if this delays the construction period..."

He was so frightened by the look of Manager Wei that he didn't dare to say anything else.

He honestly called all the people in the mine over and questioned them one by one. One or two people still wanted to impersonate others, but after Manager Wei asked about their family members and confirmed that they had no connection with Jiang Chuyue, his lies were exposed and the yamen runners whipped them with long whips.

He beat the man until his skin was torn and his flesh was exposed.

Manager Wei frowned and glanced at the yamen runners who were doing the work, but said nothing. "If the person is not here, forget it. If someone comes later, you should pay attention. If there is a person named Xiao Li, send him to the yamen."

After taking a quick look at the mine, Manager Wei turned and left.

Jiang Chuyue could hear the noise outside while hiding in the space. She watched the sky gradually darken. It was not until late at night that a group of people could rest.

Jiang Chuyue suddenly appeared from behind the straw when they were resting. Seeing that these people were about to scream, Jiang Chuyue looked nervous.

Fortunately, after they found that it was a clean girl who suddenly appeared, they suppressed the urge to scream, but they still made a noise, and the yamen runners guarding outside said viciously.

"If you don't feel tired, then keep working!"

He rushed in and saw that everyone looked fearful and cautious. After taking a quick look and making sure that there was nothing unusual, the bailiff turned around and left.

After making sure that all the bailiffs had left, someone pulled Jiang Chuyue out from hiding in the straw.

"Sister, why are you here?" a woman asked.

These yamen runners arrested people regardless of gender, age or status. They arrested all of them and made them work in the iron mine. It would have been fine if they just worked, but they couldn't even get a full meal. Every day they had only thin porridge with barely a grain of rice. This caused these people to become increasingly skinny after long periods of labor and torture.

"Are you the people who were captured the day before yesterday?" Jiang Chuyue was also shocked by their miserable situation.

He quietly took out a lot of steamed buns and pancakes from the space, dug around in the straw, avoided their attention, and took out the food.

"This is some food I bought in town. If you don't mind..." Before she finished her words, Jiang Chuyue noticed that everyone looked at the food in her hand with great desire.

He didn't say anything more and distributed the food directly. He watched as these people began to frantically devour the steamed buns and pancakes in their hands. Even though some of them rolled their eyes due to choking, they still kept gnawing on the food in their hands, wishing they could eat it all at once.

But even though they were so hungry and thirsty, none of them thought of snatching things from each other's hands. They were even reluctant to finish a steamed corn bread. After eating half of it, they treated it as a treasure and hid it under the straw.

Jiang Chuyue noticed their cautious look and almost burst into tears.

"Don't worry, I still have a lot here and I can give it all to you." Jiang Chuyue took out a lot of food from the space and distributed it to them. Seeing that they were finally willing to continue eating, Jiang Chuyue felt a little relieved.

While they were eating, Jiang Chuyue did not disturb them until they had almost finished eating, then she spoke in a low voice.

"You weren't sent here the day before yesterday, were you?" They looked like they hadn't just been hungry for two days.

Because Jiang Chuyue gave them food, everyone's guard against Jiang Chuyue was lowered a lot, someone answered in a low voice.

"We have been here for about ten days."

Ten days?

Jiang Chuyue was obviously shocked when she heard this number. When she came, she noticed that the iron mine was relatively small in scale and it did not look like it had just been mined. But she did not expect that the county magistrate had secretly arrested so many people to do hard labor in the mine when no one knew about it.

From this perspective, the farce that occurred in the county the day before yesterday was probably deliberately staged by the county magistrate behind the scenes. Even if he did not do it intentionally, the county magistrate was definitely aware of it and allowed the farce to happen.

In this way, he can capture more people to work in the mine.

"Do you know where these ores are sent?" Jiang Chuyue originally didn't expect to get a useful answer, but unexpectedly, a child spoke timidly.

"I overheard them the day before yesterday saying that all this ore was being sent south."

South?

After Jiang Chuyue secretly took note of it, someone finally noticed something was wrong and asked, "Sister, how did you know this place? If they knew about this, you would be..."

They have seen many cruel methods used by the yamen runners. If they find out that there is one more person, Jiang Chuyue will definitely not have a good ending.

Especially since this girl was beautiful, with a slim figure and delicate skin, those yamen runners were afraid that Jiang Chuyue would have a life worse than death after seeing her.

"Sister, go back to wherever you came from as soon as possible! You can't stay here any longer." The woman who first spoke to Jiang Chuyue pushed Jiang Chuyue, wanting her to leave as soon as possible.

"It's okay. We'll think of a way to leave after dawn tomorrow." As soon as Jiang Chuyue said this, someone immediately felt hopeful.

"Girl, can you take us with you?"

Everyone's eyes were full of hope, staring at Jiang Chuyue.

Jiang Chuyue wanted to rescue them, but it was not that easy. She had to think of a way to plan it and also plan an escape route.

"Not tomorrow." After Jiang Chuyue said this, someone grasped the point.

"Then you can rescue us?"

Jiang Chuyue nodded, and everyone in the cave became excited, but after a brief excitement, they also realized the problem.

"Sister, how are you going to get us out by yourself?"

Especially since she was just a powerless girl.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Jiang Chuyue thought for a while, took out a medicine bag from her sleeve and handed it to the child who had answered the question earlier.

"I'm going to give you a very important task. I wonder if you can complete it?"

It was obvious that the child was a smart one. He had dared to eavesdrop on the conversation of the yamen runners before. He must be someone who was not willing to accept this.

Jiang Chuyue valued this point very much.

"What do you want me to do?" the child blinked his big eyes.

He was really too thin. His face was not big to begin with, but because he was so skinny, his eyes looked even bigger.

"This is a knockout drug. You can find a way to put it in the water those yamen runners drink." Jiang Chuyue said patiently.
