Knowing that this was too difficult for a child, Jiang Chuyue was about to say something when the child took the medicine bag and nodded seriously, "I will definitely finish it."

Jiang Chuyue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled, raised her hand and rubbed the child's head, patiently explaining, "Your own safety is the most important thing. You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't finish it."

But this child was very serious about it. After hearing what Jiang Chuyue said, although he said, "I'll remember it," his stubborn face made Jiang Chuyue realize that this child would probably risk his life to complete this task.

I can't help but feel a little regretful for letting a child bear such heavy responsibility and pressure.

"Sister, don't worry, we will keep an eye on Tiedan and won't let anything happen to him." A woman keenly noticed Jiang Chuyue's little thoughts and took the initiative to speak, telling Jiang Chuyue not to worry.

Unexpectedly, a meeting of just a few hours would allow them to give their absolute trust. Facing those pairs of expectant eyes, Jiang Chuyue knew clearly that they all wanted to escape from the devil's cave. They had parents and children at home, but they could not leave this mine with their own abilities.

Their only hope is Jiang Chuyue.

So no matter whether Jiang Chuyue could succeed or not, they placed their last hope on Jiang Chuyue. If she succeeded, she could go home, but if she failed, the worst result would be death.

They don't have enough to eat or sleep in the mines, and the excessive workload has bent their bodies. People die of exhaustion or starvation in the mines every day. Those who survive are not lucky because they all know clearly that this kind of death will happen to them sooner or later.

Even a quick death has become a luxury.

Based on this, they are willing to give it a try. Regardless of success or failure, the situation will not be worse than its current one.

Although they didn't say it, Jiang Chuyue could still read their deepest desires from their eyes, which were either dead or eager.

"Tomorrow night, in the second half of the night, after you hear three cuckoo calls, you go out of this small door and go directly into the mountains. I will pick you up in the mountains then." Jiang Chuyue had already observed the terrain around the mine before coming. The current plan is also based on the terrain and the patrol situation of the yamen runners.

"But how can we get out?" someone raised the question. The yamen runners had already nailed down the place where they slept tightly, and there was no other passage except the only entrance and exit.

The only entrance and exit was also controlled by a number of yamen runners. If you wanted to go out through this passage, you would definitely be discovered by the yamen runners.

Jiang Chuyue also knew their concerns. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a glass bottle from the space and poured it on the back door that had been blocked by the yamen runners long ago. As the sulfuric acid was poured, the iron lock of the back door made a "sizzling" sound.

Everyone watched as the padlock quickly turned into a puddle of water. They almost cried out in shock, but luckily the people around them covered their mouths in time to avoid making too much noise.

Even so, the bailiffs guarding outside kept coming in because of the rustling noises inside.

Jiang Chuyue heard footsteps outside and quickly lowered her voice to remind, "Someone is coming."

The women quickly surrounded Jiang Chuyue behind them. When the yamen runners came in and took a look around, they gave her a lecture, "If you don't need to sleep, then go out and work."

The room was silent. Perhaps it was because Jiang Chuyue's words just now gave them some confidence, and the way they looked at the bailiffs was no longer as timid as before.

The bailiff felt strange being stared at like that, but he didn't think these people would do anything surprising, so he cursed for a long time and hit a few people at random. When he saw that they showed fear in their eyes again, he went out with satisfaction.

Jiang Chuyue witnessed the whole process from the side. Even though she was angry, she could only wait until the bailiffs walked away before she showed up and walked up to the people who had been beaten. She hid herself with her sleeves, took out some medicine from the space, and simply treated and bandaged their wounds.

"This is a golden wound medicine. Just change it once a day." Jiang Chuyue continued to nag about a lot of things. After confirming that everyone wanted to escape and that no one had any ill intentions because of the inhumanity of the yamen runners, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, after this group of laborers were taken away, Jiang Chuyue hid directly in the space to prevent anyone from exposing her existence. During this time, a yamen runner came into the house and took a look around, but because the house was full of stench, he only glanced from a distance. After making sure that there was no one hiding or slacking off in the house, he quickly left.

After Jiang Chuyue confirmed that there was nothing wrong, she used the cover of space to successfully enter the deep mountains and dense forests behind the mine through the opened back door. She also left traces along the way to facilitate her way finding at night.

In order to rescue them safely, Jiang Chuyue even set up many traps on the road to prevent the yamen runners from catching up. After doing all this, Jiang Chuyue returned to Tongan Inn. As soon as she entered the inn, she saw Manager Wei sitting in the inn.

Jiang Chuyue walked forward calmly and took the initiative to greet Shopkeeper Wei, "Shopkeeper Wei, you're here so soon, do you have any news about my uncle?"

Take the initiative and be the first to seize the initiative.

Shopkeeper Wei stared at Jiang Chuyue for a long time before he finally spoke, "I haven't found your uncle yet. I thought you might be worried, so I came to inform you first. It may not be easy to find your uncle, and you don't have to live in the town forever."

Jiang Chuyue was unsure of what Shopkeeper Wei wanted to say, and after careful consideration, she said, "My aunt is now raising several children at home alone, and she is looking forward to the return of this pillar of the family. If my uncle is gone, I am afraid my aunt will not be able to hold on."

As she spoke, Jiang Chuyue let out a long sigh, and her eyes became moist.

"It's a chaotic time now, and there will probably be a lot of conscriptions. I'll have someone keep an eye on your uncle's affairs. Once there's any news, I'll send someone to let you know. But don't hold out too much hope."

Shopkeeper Wei seemed to be infected by Jiang Chuyue's acting skills. His eyes were full of pity when he looked at Jiang Chuyue. Even Jiang Chuyue was unsure whether his feelings were sincere or not.

But you still have to do the work to save your face.

"Then I'll trouble you, Manager Wei. If you have any news, please send someone to tell me. My aunt is still waiting for him at home."
