Although the old man in front of her looked like he had one foot in the grave, her intuition still told her to be cautious around him.
"Words are no proof. If Eldest Grandpa trusts me, you can find someone to act with me.
If there's anything wrong with me, you can take my life at any time. "
Her words were magnanimous, and at the same time, it was exactly what these people wanted.
Eldest Grandpa took a deep look at her, and a smile slowly appeared on his shriveled face.
"Miss, you're quite bold."
She only thought that he was praising her.
The few people beside the old man all had a deep vigilance in their eyes. Lin Mengya had no doubt that if she showed the slightest bit of abnormality, these people would probably take her life immediately.
On the other side, they discussed for a while, but there was no conclusion.
She was a little anxious.
Master Huo couldn't delay for too long, and with the cunning of the Black Evil Deity, he might be able to guess their diversion plan after a long time.
At that time, they would have to retreat immediately.
Then it was uncertain whether they would have such an opportunity next time.
Just when she couldn't help but want to persuade him, the old man finally gave her an answer.
"Miss, how should I address you?"
"I'm Song Xi."
The old man nodded and waved his hand.
Then, a dark-skinned and skinny young man walked out.
Lin Mengya glanced at him. Although he was thin, he should not be underestimated.
Come to think of it, he was also a martial artist.
"His name is Qiu Shi, and he's quite clever. He'll go out with you."
As for this answer, she had already expected it.
There was nothing to be picky about. She just lowered her voice and said, "Eldest Grandpa, this is a rare opportunity. And time is tight. Can this young man mobilize all the miners in the mining area? "
Eldest Grandpa coughed a few times.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem, whether I can persuade the entire mining area is not up to an old man like me to decide."
Lin Mengya frowned.
It was obvious that he didn't fully trust her.
Just as she was about to persuade him again, the old man interrupted her.
"Miss, many of us died here. It's not that they don't want to leave, but they don't know where to go and how to go. "
There were many hidden meanings in the old man's words.
But now, she didn't have much time.
"I understand. I will open this passage for you, but whether you want to walk or not is up to you. "
It was not that she had to save these people.
To put it bluntly, she came here to fulfill her promise to Huo Xiao.
But people were always stubborn.
She couldn't convince everyone. The only thing she could do was to give them a choice.
Lin Mengya quickly left with Qiu Shi.
The abandoned mine became quiet again.
"Eldest Uncle, can this girl's words be trusted?"
The middle-aged man next to her had just said that her words could not be trusted. Perhaps, they were scammers sent by "those people".
Surprisingly, the old man held a different view from him.
"Let's wait and see."
He glanced at the deep mine shaft and closed his eyes again.
Qiu Shi was a little concerned that Lin Mengya walked through the darkness without any hindrance.
It was just that the young man was used to silence, and even when he answered her question, it was also so short that it made one's hair stand on end.
"Brother Qiu, do you know how many workers there are in this iron mine?"
She hid behind a boulder and poked her head out to observe the situation in front of her.
But after waiting for a long time, the people behind her didn't say anything.
(This chapter is not over. Please turn the page.)
。
She couldn't help but turn back and repeat the question.
This time, Qiu Shi shook his head.
Could it be that he had answered her the same way the last time?
Lin Mengya almost laughed out of anger.
"I don't have eyes on the back of my head. I can't see you nod or shake your head."
Qiu Shi's face seemed to turn darker, but he didn't refute.
"Then let me ask you again. Do you know the activity pattern of the guards here?"
Qiu Shi was about to nod, but he remembered her words and spoke uncomfortably.
"Ten people in a team, and each team changes shifts every four hours."
"How many people are there in total?"
"Three hundred and thirty people."
Lin Mengya roughly estimated the difference in the number of people between the enemy and her.
She and Long Tianhao didn't bring many people, but they were all elites.
It was not difficult to deal with more than three hundred people. The difficult thing was what if they found a way to inform the Black Evil God and alert the enemy?
After thinking for a while, she turned her eyes to the miners.
If these miners rioted together, it would be easier.
But these miners had been beaten numb. They only knew how to retreat and didn't know how to resist at all.
If she wanted to mobilize them, she had to find a way to dispel their fear.
At this time, there was a cry outside the cave.
"Dad, Dad! I don't want to go. Save me, Dad! "
The girl's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the mine.
Qiu Shi's brows were tightly knitted together, and his fists were clenched so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard.
Lin Mengya looked in the direction of the sound and saw a few guards grabbing a girl's long hair and dragging her over mercilessly.
The girl cried loudly, but no one around dared to come forward to stop her.
Only a middle-aged man in ragged clothes kept kneeling on the ground, begging these guards.
"Sir, please do me a favor! My Fang 'er is only sixteen years old. She is still a child!
Please, be merciful and let her go! I'm willing to be your slave. Please, let my daughter go! "
Although the man cried bitterly, he couldn't shake the stone-hearted guards.
Soon, someone lost his patience and kicked him to the ground.
The long whip in the guard's hand landed on his body. In an instant, the man's skin and flesh were torn.
"Insensible thing! It's your good fortune that we've taken a liking to your daughter!
If you dare to talk more, I'll kill you! "
The girl was anxious when she saw her father being beaten.
But she had no choice but to beg the assailant.
"Sir, sir! Please, don't hit my father! "
The girl's tears became the catalyst for those people's evil desires.
The guard who beat the man put away his long whip and pinched the girl's pale cheeks with his big hand.
"You want me to let your father go? Sure, as long as you serve us well, I won't hit him.
In fact, I can even tell everyone not to hit him. "
The girl trembled all over and couldn't say a word.
But the guard next to her said wretchedly, "Haha, as long as he sleeps with you, he will be your father's good son-in-law. How can a son-in-law hit his father-in-law? "
The vicious and vulgar joke quickly spread among the guards.
The surrounding miners hung their heads even lower.
It was obvious that such a situation was common here.
The girl was so afraid that she could only cry. The guard who beat the man smiled coldly, grabbed her hair, and dragged her out.
"My daughter! You … "
The man couldn't bear to see his daughter being defiled. He was so angry that he fainted.
This scene.
(This chapter is not over. Please continue to the next page.)
Lin Mengya saw it all.
She glanced at Qiu Shi beside her.
The young man pursed his lips. His eyes were full of anger, but he was holding it in.
But a volcano would eventually erupt.
She thought of a good idea to make the miners riot.
"Do you want to kill them?"
Qiu Shi took a deep breath.
"Yes, but we can't kill them."
"Why not?"
The young man glared at her angrily, but he didn't dare to raise his voice.
"They will get worse!"
Lin Mengya disagreed. "So, you're going to watch the tragedy happen?"
"Yes!" Qiu Shi admitted helplessly.
She raised the corner of her mouth, but she had a different opinion.
"I think it's better to fight to the death than to submit to adversity."
"No, there are children."
But her eyes were cold.
"Children?" She said aggressively, "In such an environment, it's uncertain if children can grow up safely!
As you can see, boys end up like those scrawny miners out there.
Girls? They will become the playthings of these beasts!
Is this how you drag out an ignoble existence for them to live? "
Her attitude was so sharp that Qiu Shi couldn't answer.
He knew that it was wrong, but what could he do?
These bastards had no humanity at all.
They locked up the younger children as hostages. He went to see them once, and those children were already on the verge of death.
And there were traps around. As long as those people activated the traps, the children would die!
He glared outside, his eyes red with anger.
"I can't let them die!"
"But what you're doing is just a blunt knife on their necks," she said unceremoniously.
And Qiu Shi couldn't help but raise his voice.
"You don't understand. Those children can't die!"
Lin Mengya keenly caught the meaning in Qiu Shi's words.
"Those children? Who are they? Where are they? "
Qiu Shi pointed outside.
"Sixty-two children, just outside."
"Are you saying that these guards are using the children as hostages?"
Qiu Shi nodded heavily.
That was why he didn't dare to act rashly.
Lin Mengya finally understood the reason why these guards were guarding the door.
"No wonder. If I can save these children, can you help me to encourage them?"
Qiu Shi's eyes lit up and he asked impatiently, "Can you really save them?"
She thought for a while.
"It's not difficult. Although I didn't bring many people, they are all top-notch masters."
"Well, well, if you save the children, I'll tell them for you!"
Qiu Shi was so excited that he stuttered.
Lin Mengya didn't expect this young man to have such a soft heart.
"Then it's a deal."
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Qiu Shi covered her as she came out of the mine. Then, Lin Mengya easily found the marks left by Ah Da and the others.
Then, they met up with Ah Da and the others in the third mine.
Ah Da also gave her a piece of good news.
More than a dozen of their people had successfully sneaked in, and now they were waiting for her orders.
Under Qiu Shi's eager gaze, Lin Mengya ordered them to save the children.
