This mountain is mine

Chapter 151 The Toxic Gold Mine

Zhao Man only said "hmm" and didn't say much, and the man didn't say much, and led the way ahead.

It's just that his walking speed also slowed down a bit, thinking in his heart that if the master has more wives, he must take care of one or two.

Yu Miaomiao leaned on Zhao Man as a support, wrapped his arms around his waist with one hand, and held a handkerchief with the other. Seeing that the person in front didn't look back, she took the handkerchief, wiped her sweat, and raised her arm to Zhao Man. After wiping it off, seeing his unharmed expression, he sighed in his heart and pursed his lips. He wanted to find an excuse to rest, but when he shook his head slightly, he decided to give up.

Again and again, and then decline, and three exhausted, let's go all out.

So he only lowered his head and concentrated on his journey, wishing he could find out about this matter soon.

The mountain is much cooler than the downhill, and the scorching sun is kept out of the forest, casting mottled shadows on the ground only through the gaps in the leaves, reducing the summer heat a lot, and the mountain wind blowing again, the clothes that were originally sweaty, It was quickly dried again, leaving only a little moisture.

There was a thick layer of fallen leaves on the ground, and Yu Miaomiao stepped on it suddenly, not realizing that there was a branch underneath, slipped under her foot, and almost fell down.

Zhao Man's body was also tilted to one side. When the person in front turned around, Yu Miaomiao quickly supported Zhao Man, regardless of the sprained foot. From outsiders' perspective, she was lying in Zhao Man's arms. That's all.

The guide quickly looked away, and Yu Miaomiao leaned on Zhao Man's chest and exhaled for a few breaths, and then resisted the pain coming from his feet, and tried not to squat down. The action was too hasty just now, and he really twisted.

Suddenly there was a heavy weight on her head, but it was Zhao Man who touched her head and eased it a bit. After the pain gradually subsided, Yu Miaomiao raised her head and smiled at Zhao Man. Because of the pain, it seemed to be filled with water, shining brightly.

Seeing that Zhao Man's heart suddenly didn't know whether it was sore or soft. In the past, he was seriously injured, and he stood alone in front of others wearing armor. Now that there are more people around him, he doesn't have to work so hard, but he has a feeling of wanting to push her away. Behind her, the thought of standing in front of her came.

Yu Miaomiao said in a low voice, "It's okay, let's go."

"Yeah." Zhao Man's tone was light, only he knew that he couldn't be at peace at all.

The rest of the road is not too far away, and it is only a stick of incense time, and it has already arrived.

There are already four young people waiting here, three of them are standing, all of them have serious faces, and there is one lying on the ground, but his eyes are closed and his face is pale. Seeing Zhao Man coming, the leader came over and said: "master……"

Zhao Man saw the people on the ground first, "How is Pioneer?"

Hearing Zhao Man's question, the faces of these four people were all gloomy.

The leader said: "I found the entrance of the mine, but I went down from this entrance, the surrounding area was empty, there was no place to draw on, there was only a deep pool at the bottom, and the subordinates tied ropes on their bodies to go down, and the vanguard took the lead in entering the cave. , He fell into the pool and fell into a coma, and was immediately dragged out of the cave by the follower, but he still hasn't woken up yet."

The stalker was the slender young man who went to pick up the three of Zhao Man just now. Among the four people in front of him, he was the one with the best look and spirit. He was only guarding outside, responsible for responding and releasing.

He also added, "Pioneer's water quality is very good, and he didn't inhale much water, so he wasn't drowning."

Dr. Qiu stepped forward to check, glanced at the man's eyelids, probed his nose, checked his tongue coating, felt his pulse, frowning for a while, took out a silver needle, and stabbed the unconscious young man on the head. A few injections, but no one woke up.

He took another porcelain bottle out of his body and put it under the man's nose, but there was still no sign of waking up, so he said, "There is nothing wrong with the pulse." After a pause, he added: "Like Li It's the same."

Pioneer fell into the water, even if he had taken precautions, he must have been washed away by the water.Like Li Sijin, he fell into a coma for a long time after entering this mine, and even when he woke up, he was almost the same as Li Sijin.

After Dr. Qiu finished speaking, his old face was gloomy. Recently, he has lost all his face, and none of them can be cured.

Hearing Doctor Qiu's words, several people's faces became more serious, they all knew the reason why Li Sijin was stupid.There was also such suspicion about Pioneer's symptoms.

If not, they would have hired a doctor long ago, but someone from the Li family has already guessed that Li Sijin was stupid because of the gold mine. .

Then I went to notify Zhao Man. When Zhao Man heard the news, he didn't think of the special day of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, so he told the messenger that he would go to the mine himself and they were waiting on the mountain. .

Moreover, there is a rule in the court that once a gold mine is discovered, it must be reported to the court. He will naturally not report it, so he has to do it very secretly, especially at this time when the gold mine is still in the investigation stage. Naturally, the less people know, the better. .

Hearing Doctor Qiu's words, Zhao Man's expression was not good, but right now...

Zhao Man lowered his eyes, met Yu Miaomiao, and saw that her face was a little emotional, a look of hesitating to speak, Zhao Man pondered for a moment, then his brows sank, and the hand holding her shoulder became heavier.

Yu Miaomiao suffered from pain in her shoulders, when she looked up and saw his warning face, forbidding her to speak, she had no choice but to suppress the thought that had just arisen.

Zhao Man has already told her that there is a medicinal Gu on her body, which can detoxify Gu and detoxify, but did not mention that her blood can also detoxify Gu.

However, Yu Miaomiao is not stupid. As soon as she heard about the medicinal Gu, she thought that the reason why Li Sijin wanted to get close to her was probably because she could restrain the poison. Since being close could restrain or reduce the symptoms of the poison, What about her blood?
Just now Yu Miaomiao was thinking whether her blood can detoxify?It might be useful, but Zhao Man stopped him before he could say it.

It's not that he doesn't care about his subordinates and doesn't trust them. Let these people be in charge of the gold mine. They are all very reliable in ability and loyalty. He is reluctant to lose one.

It's just that people are eccentric, if he had to choose among them, he would rather Yu Miaomiao do nothing.

If it wasn't for a Gu worm that suddenly entered Yu Miaomiao's body, causing her to lose control of her emotions for a few times, allowing her to understand the truth of the matter and overcome it better, he would not have told her about the medicinal Gu. It was also a form of protection for her not to know. .

Even if he knew it now, he hoped that Yu Miaomiao would pretend that he didn't know and do nothing.If every time the people around him were poisoned by Gu and couldn't get rid of it, would they have to bleed her blood?

No one noticed the interaction between Zhao Man and Yu Miaomiao, and their eyes were all on Pioneer on the ground.

Zhao Man said in a deep voice: "Leave it to me, Pioneer. There is a method of detoxification, and it will not be fatal." According to the practice of the old Miao man who saw Li Sijin, the toxins were slowly exhausted in three to five years. !

Besides, you can wait for the news from Li Sijin. Li Sijin has already set off to find Lan Shi to relieve the gu.

Hearing what he said, several people nodded and felt a little relieved.

"Where is the entrance to the mine, and what's the situation inside?" Zhao Man asked.

"It's right there." The leader pointed, and another person went over and stepped on the weeds.

Yu Miaomiao looked in the direction of his finger, but it was a small hole, the hole was under an old tree, covered by weeds, it was very secretive, barely enough for one person to pass through, but it was dark inside, so you couldn't see it. What came out.If you are not careful, you will not be able to find it. Even if you see it, it is just a tree hole. How do you know that there is a hole in it.

"The gold mine is indeed down there. There are a total of 110 miners in the mine. They all have sluggish faces and have lost their minds. Because of the lack of food, they may not survive long. The other eight are the guards of the Li family. They should be from before. Those who followed Li Sijin into the mine were also unconscious.

These people were excavated under the command of ten supervisors. These ten supervisors had precautions on their bodies, but they were sane and had been controlled by their subordinates. In addition, there were 56 corpses..."

As the man spoke, his brows were furrowed, and a palpitation flashed in his eyes. They came here licking blood from the knife edge, and thinking of what they saw in the cave, they felt chills in their hearts.

All kinds of metal mines, including gold mines, belong to the imperial court, and some criminals who are not guilty of capital crimes will also be sent to the mines for mining. They have also seen miners. They said they were stupid and could not speak, and they only obeyed the orders of the supervisors. They were hungry, thirsty and tired, skinny, with wounds piled up all over their bodies, until they died of exhaustion and illness.

Seeing Yu Miaomiao standing next to Zhao Man with sullen face and no intention of avoiding it, this person did not hesitate and told the situation in the cave one by one.

They entered the mine and tortured the supervisors to find out that since March, after Murong's family collapsed, no one has delivered food to this place. The food that could only last for half a month was too much to survive. It took two months, and most of them entered the stomachs of these ten supervisors. It is conceivable how harsh they are to those miners.

More than 50 corpses are still a small number, and there are already people eating people and corpses in the mine, which is terrible.

"This mine is easy to get in but hard to get out. There should be other exits inside, but the cave is huge and the time is short. The subordinates have only searched around roughly, but have not found other exits. The supervisors I don't know where the exit is."

This is understandable, if they knew, they would have left long ago in the absence of food.

Murong's family is really "considerate", no one who goes in can come out, afraid that these miners will make trouble, they will simply make people stupid, if they come later, I'm afraid the inside will be comparable to purgatory.

Yu Miaomiao only listened to this man's casual report, and already felt her throat tightened and her face turned pale.

Seeing that the faces of the three people who went down the cave were not good-looking, and one of them even covered his mouth and forcibly suppressed the nausea, so as not to lose his composure. I am afraid that what she and Zhao Man heard was only the tip of the iceberg.

Zhao Man looked calm, looked at the entrance of the cave and did not speak.

The man then continued to report, "I have asked the supervisors, there is indeed a Gu worm in this cave, if you don't attack it, it will not attack people just lying in the cauldron, but if you inhale the poisonous gas released by the Gu worm, It will gradually lose consciousness and become stupid, but the cauldron was snatched by Li Yi a few days ago. There should be poisonous gas in this pool, and Pioneer was also poisoned by this poison."

As soon as this remark came out, Yu Miaomiao remembered that on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, she had indeed taken a bowl and smashed it at the cauldron, was this the reason why the Gu worms entered her body?
This thought was just a flash, and then the man continued: "These supervisors said that they also came out with the idea of ​​following Li Yi. Three people have been guarding the entrance of the cave. Li Yi did not return from the original path. His supervisor was also taught a lesson by him, he should know where the exit of the gold mine is, and he is very familiar with the gold mine."

After all the reports, Zhao Man's eyes darkened.

Li Yi knew the location of the gold mine, the Gu worms in the cave, and the way to prevent it, as well as the exit...

It seems that Murong's family and Li Yi's friendship is not shallow. Since this is the case, the Murong's colluded with Xixia and secretly concealed the gold mine. Their intentions can be imagined, and their death is really not wronged at all.
