The vegetation is deep, the water vapor is curling up, and in the dense forest, a river lies in front of you.

The waterfall with a not-so-great drop poured down from the gap in the mountain wall and merged with the river below. Under the cold moonlight, the waterfall shone with silver light and made a roaring sound.

Following the guidance of the old man, Su Yu found the path beside the waterfall, passed through a section of dense forest soaked in water vapor, and saw a large flat land in front of him, surrounded by tall trees in four circles, covered with weeds and flowers, and some Shrubs with broad leaves.If it is daytime, the scenery here should look beautiful.

Su Yu picked up some soil from the ground, carefully identified it under the moonlight, and then began to search this place inch by inch.

The clouds gathered and scattered, the moonlight appeared and disappeared, and the bird perched on the top of the tree was disturbed by something, and it flapped its wings with a strange cry.

Su Yu, who hadn't found anything yet, suddenly stopped searching, and jumped behind the bushes beside him.

Someone came out of the woods on one side.

Su Yu hid his figure, looked up at the person coming, his gaze passed through the bushes, but froze for a moment.

On the thorny branches of the shrub in front of me, there is a small piece of rags hanging. It is difficult to distinguish the color under the moonlight. We can only see light-colored flowers on the dark background. The branches tremble slightly, like the last sigh of rootless duckweed left in the wind.

Su Yu gritted his teeth violently, his eyes sharpened like a blade coming out of its sheath.At this moment, someone from the opposite side spoke.

"Huizi, go tell the people below to pick up someone." The person speaking was a strong man with a rough voice. He was tall, with strong shoulders, and his body was like an iron tower. His shadow covered a large area of ​​the grass.He carried a sack on each shoulder, and the contents of the sack were very long, bent from the middle and draped over his shoulders.

"Okay." The man called "Huizi" followed beside the strong man, his stature was much shorter in comparison, he walked to a place a few meters away from Su Yu's hiding place, bent over to brush away the weeds , took out a bamboo tube-like thing from his pocket, held it in his hand as if facing the right position on the ground, and then threw it down.

Su Yu restrained his breath and stared at the scene in front of him intently. After a while, his ears moved slightly, and he caught a sound of jingling bells, clang, and chains shaking. The strange thing was that the sound seemed to come from deep underground.

Seeing Huizi stepped aside a few steps, the ground covered with weeds was slowly lifted away spontaneously with one side as the axis, revealing a hole in the ground.

The sound of iron chain clanging continued, and after a while, a light came from the ground, and then a person holding a torch "lifted" to the ground.

"Old Lu, Huizi," the man greeted the two people on the ground. He looked at the sack on Old Lu and said, "Why did you bring two people here today?"

"Isn't it because the government has been investigating closely recently, and someone was arrested. The boss said that the whole line of the ruined temple will be closed first. These two people were brought from Shanghe Town. They are both foreigners. There are few future troubles, which is already very good. All right?"

"Well," the torchbearer nodded, handed the torch to Huizi, took a sack from Old Lu's shoulder, and said, "Come on, let's go down."

Several people stood tighter, Huizi lowered the torch, and circled it around the ground a few times, the sound of iron chain twisting appeared again, and the bodies of several people slowly descended, when the head of the tallest old Lu was about to disappear on the ground When it was below, the lifted ground began to fall slowly until it made a muffled "bang" sound and closed with the ground again.

There is a hole in the ground——

At first glance, it looks like entering a bottomless black hole, the whole body does not know the width, and it is difficult to distinguish the depth.

Looking down, a few bright lights flicker faintly at the bottom of the cave, which is weird and unpredictable.

Lao Lu and the others were standing on a seven-foot-square metal platform that was slowly descending. The four corners of the platform were hoisted by iron chains, and the iron chains finally merged into two strands, bypassing several pulleys installed on the roof of the cave, and sliding slowly , The sound of metal clashing echoed in the hole.The torches illuminate the surroundings of several people, and one can see that the nearby stone walls are smooth and have traces of artificial excavation.

As the ground above the head closed, the light above the head almost completely disappeared, leaving only a small hole, through which a very thin beam of moonlight penetrated, and Huizi had just thrown the signal downward through that small hole.

At the moment when the ground closed, Huizi, who was holding one side of the iron chain, felt that the chain seemed to be swaying a little bit more. He immediately gripped the iron chain tightly, shrank his head and let out a low cry, which attracted the ridicule of the two people on the side.

"Huizi, you're too timid, haha!" Old Lu laughed while deliberately stepping on the platform, which caused Huizi to exclaim again.

Several people were unaware at this time, and one person had already sneaked into the cave at that moment. He was dressed in black and completely melted into the darkness, and was slowly sliding down the iron chain hanging from the ceiling of the cave.

The platform dropped 30 meters, and finally fell to the bottom of the cave.

There is a lot of space at the bottom of the cave, and with a ring of torches lit, you can see the two shafts that control the platform's up and down, and two people are fixing the iron chains on it.

The three people who had just come down greeted the people at the bottom of the cave, and then walked towards the bottom of the cave. There was a narrow opening, only one person was wide enough. after entering.

Su Yu quietly followed behind them.The road in the cave is a bit wet, sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, with twists and turns, and wooden brackets can be seen in some sections.After walking for a while, there was a faint fire and the sound of clanging stones in front of him.

Su Yu frowned secretly, and had a rough guess in his heart.

Several people walked into a cave hall.

The cave hall is very large, the surrounding rock walls are exposed/cut out sections, the ground is full of gravel, torches are burning in the cave, and there are about twenty or thirty disheveled men with iron shackles on their hands and feet, holding iron picks He kept digging in the hole, and put the stones he dug out into the basket on his back from time to time.

Behind them, there are seven or eight supervisors with whips in their hands. Whenever they see someone moving slowly, they will yell loudly and slap their whips down.

The digging coolies were basically bare-chested, covered in dirt, blood and sweat, hunched over, looking exhausted, yet succumbed to the majesty of the supervisor and dared not resist.

Lao Lu and others dragged the two out of the sack, put them in shackles, and splashed cold water on them to wake them up. Before they could react, they kicked and beat them to force them to join the coolie team.

Su Yu hid himself on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, and had a clear view of the scene inside the cave. At this moment, he was sure that he had discovered a huge conspiracy of human trafficking and private mining of ores.Although there are still many unsolved mysteries, he didn't care to think about it, his eyes searched among the coolies, his eyes were full of murderous intent, if... Luo Xunfeng suffered such humiliation, all the supervisors present would not have Live!

After searching around, he didn't see Ji Gua's figure. Su Yu was mixed with joy and worry, and his brows were still furrowed. At this moment, the sound of whistling whips and horrific wailing came from the cave.

"Pretending to be dead! Get up, old man! Get up quickly!" The overseer brandished his whip, and slapped a man who had fallen to the ground. The man had slender bones, and he seemed to be just a boy.The whip blew out streaks of blood, and after the man screamed twice, his voice was silent again, and his body just twitched unconsciously despite the whipping.

"Hey, it's not really dead, is it?" Another overseer came over and turned over the man's body. He really was a young boy with an immature face, who looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.He tried it under the boy's nose, "You're still angry, move it to the wall first, use it when you wake up, and dispose of it if you don't wake up!"

Occasionally, a few coolies glanced in this direction, and immediately took the whip, and no one dared to watch or say more.

The comatose boy was carried aside. At first, the supervisor looked over from time to time. Later, when he saw that no one was moving, he gradually relaxed his vigilance and focused more on the coolies who were mining.

The young man was lying on the cold ground, with pain all over his body. He wanted to cry, but he seemed to have lost control of his body. He couldn't even open his eyes. Despair gradually overwhelmed him.

Suddenly, a warm current entered from his wrist and began to swim on his body, relaxing his body and relieving the pain in his heart. His consciousness slowly recovered, and the young man's eyelids trembled, and he opened them all at once——

Before he could cry out in surprise, a hand covered his mouth.

The hand came from behind the rock by the wall, and the owner of the hand almost merged with the dark shadow, only a pair of sharp eyes were deep and bright.

"Don't be afraid, and don't make a sound. I won't hurt you. I just want to ask you a question. If you understand, just blink." The other party's voice came to the ear, although the voice was not loud, but the words were clear.

The young man felt that besides his mouth being covered, one wrist was also being held by that person, and the warmth around him was coming from that wrist. He couldn't feel the other party's malice, so he blinked hard.

The man stared at his face, slowly let go of his hand, and said, "In the past few days, has a son been sent here? About 25 years old, tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, handsome, maybe... He was wearing a blue shirt."

The boy lay on his back on the ground, his eyes rolled back and forth, and then he blinked.

"!!!" Su Yu became excited, and said to the boy, "I can understand you when you speak with your mouth."

"The son you mentioned is surnamed 'Feng'?" The boy asked as he said.

Su Yu nodded, "Feng" is Luo Xunfeng's usual false surname, "Then where is he now?"

"He became the assistant of the mine owner and went to live on the ship."

"..." Su Yu felt confused, so he could only grasp the key question and ask, "Where is the boat?"

"That hole goes all the way out, and the boat is parked on the river." The young man slightly raised his hand, pointing to a hole at the other end of the cave hall.

Su Yu turned her head to look, but was suddenly pulled by the sleeve of the boy.

"Help me, please, I don't want to die..." the young man begged silently, tears falling from the corners of his eyes.

Su Yu blinked her eyelashes, lowered her head and gritted her teeth, "Sorry, I have to find someone first."

"..." The light in the boy's eyes dimmed.

Su Yu took out a medicine bottle from his bosom, handed it to the young man, and said, "This medicine is for external application, keep it safe, I promise you, I will come back to save you when I find someone." He held the young man's hand and squeezed it The medicine bottle said "Hold on", the young man blinked with tears, Su Yu's eyes shone slightly, he retracted his hand, his figure flashed, and left the wall.

……

The night is as deep as ink, and the moon hangs high in the sky.

Among the high mountains, the river is vast, reflecting the faint moonlight, and the water and the sky meet at the end of the line of sight.

On the river about ten meters away from the shore, a double-decker cargo ship more than ten feet long was parked. There were several dim red lights on the cargo ship.

In a room of the cabin, a middle-aged man in an indigo shirt with a round face and small eyes stretched out his hand to put away the mine road map on the table, and said to the young man opposite, "I have studied this today, and I will ask you to do it tomorrow." Mr. Feng will go down to the mine and explore the veins."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The young man smiled lightly, he was Luo Xunfeng who had been missing for several days.

"Oh, by the way, sir, please drink the medicine for tonight." The middle-aged man waved his hand, and the servant behind him brought a medicine bowl.

Luo Xunfeng raised his eyebrows, took the medicine bowl, and drank the medicine juice in one gulp.

The middle-aged man stared at him and finished drinking the medicine before getting up to say goodbye to him.

Luo Xunfeng watched the iron door of the room close, and then heard the sound of the lock being locked. He laughed at himself, blew out the candle in the room, walked to the bed and fell asleep.

After a while, there was the sound of the keyhole being pushed at the door again, and Luo Xunfeng turned over and sat up irritably.

After a while, the door was gently pushed open.

Luo Xun didn't raise his head and said, "Why, does Boss Zhou have anything else to discuss with Feng?"

However, what came into his ears was a cold and familiar voice, suppressing his uncontrollable excitement, "Master, it's me."
