The auspiciousness descended from the sky, and the sweet treasure from the farmer was fed by the who

I don’t know who gave them the courage. Do they really think they are the local emperors here?

"Master, let's be patient for a while. We'll find a chance to reunite with you in the evening when we have time." Rong Zhi whispered to Li Jin.

Li Jin nodded gently, "Okay."

Zhu You and Zhang Bao were assigned to work somewhere else, not far from them, but there were several people between them, so it was still inconvenient for them to talk.

Yue Xin and Su Liaoyun were assigned to carry the baskets, and they carried the filled stones out.

Yue Xin was still curious and didn’t know what was in the mountain. Could there be treasures?

Otherwise why did they dig the mountain?

When the two men carried the basket out, Su Liaoyun whispered, "We suspect there is a mine inside."

"Why do you suspect it's a mine? It doesn't look like it at all. I've seen mines and stayed there for a while. There can't be a mine in this place." Yue Xin said firmly.

Su Liaoyun thought for a moment and said, "We don't know this either. Let's find out in the evening."

As they talked, they lifted the baskets and poured the stones out, then returned to lift other full baskets.

In the kitchen, Li Shubai and Tianbao each had a stove, and several cooks were cooking.

Chicken, duck, fish, all kinds of meat.

Tianbao swallowed his saliva after smelling it.

When a cook saw this, she secretly gave her a piece of meat.

Tianbao was stunned for a moment and then smiled sweetly, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

The cook blushed when Tianbao smiled at her. “No… no thanks.”

After Tianbao finished eating, he approached the cook and asked, "Sister-in-law, were you also arrested?"

The cook nodded and said, "I've been here for two years. I can't escape...

I have two children at home, and I don’t know how they are doing…”

The cook's face suddenly turned sad after she finished speaking, and Tianbao quickly comforted her, "You will definitely see them again."

The cook smiled bitterly. "How could I possibly see them again? I don't know if I can walk out of this place alive..."

"Sister-in-law, are the people here very powerful? Is there no possibility for us to escape?" Tianbao asked again.

"How can it not be powerful? There are three masters here, each of them is highly skilled in martial arts, and they are all protected by experts. Ordinary people like us will die if we come to this place."

Another cook came over and said, “Young Master, I can tell from the looks of it that you have never suffered. Now that you are here, it will be hard for you to get out.

Unless you are dead, it is difficult for a living person to leave here safely."

Tian Bao pretended not to understand. "The three bosses are so powerful, do they have a lot of people? There are so many of us captured, can't we resist together?"

"Of course not. They have weapons and swords, but we have nothing."

"Was this sister-in-law also captured?" Tianbao asked.

The woman sighed and said, "I was arrested with my husband. He was assigned to another place."

"Then can you meet? My friends and relatives have also been arranged to other places." Tianbao continued to ask.

“Sometimes I could see him, when I was delivering food, but even if I saw him, what could I do? Seeing him covered in injuries made me feel even worse.

So sometimes I try not to deliver food to him, to avoid seeing him...it makes both of us feel uncomfortable."

Tian Bao patted her shoulder and said, "It will pass."

At night, someone came to call for food to be delivered.

Li Shubai looked at Tianbao, and when they were about to go forward, they were stopped by a cook next to them.

She shook her head at Sweetie.

Li Shubai had already walked over. The visitor glanced at Li Shubai and nodded, "This one is quite well-proportioned. The head of the family will feel more comfortable when he sees it.

It's you, and the other two, go and deliver food to the Second Master." The man casually pointed at two cooks.

When the two were pointed at, their faces turned pale and they began to tremble all over.

"Hurry up." The man began to urge again.

Li Shubai and the others quickly packed the food into one or two lunch boxes, then walked out carrying the boxes.

When he left, he glanced at Tianbao and gave her a look that said everything was fine.

As soon as Li Shubai left, Tianbao immediately asked, "What's going on? Aren't you delivering food to those arrested people?"

"Those working people only have one meal a day, which is at noon. Of course, it is impossible to deliver food to them at night."

A cook nearby replied, "Hey... this is food for the Second In Command. The Second In Command has a very bad temper and will beat and scold the person who delivers the food if he is not satisfied with the food.

Sometimes he would deliberately make things difficult for us, so most of us were unwilling to bring him food.”

When Tianbao heard this, he immediately became worried about Li Shubai.

Oh, if I had known that she would have followed him just now, I don’t know if Shu Bai would have been beaten.

"Don't worry about your friend, kid. The second in command has another hobby, which is to like clean and handsome young people. Your friend is good-looking, so he may not make things difficult for him."

Several cooks nodded in unison.

Li Shubai followed the people from the mountain stronghold to the room of the second in command, where he saw several young boys and girls kneeling on the ground. They had few clothes on and were kneeling there shivering.

Li Shubai didn't dare to look closely and quickly looked away.

"Damn it, do you want to scald me to death?" The second in command kicked away the chef who had just come with Li Shubai.

The cook spat out blood after being kicked, and saw that the second in command was going to kick him again.

Li Shubai quickly stepped forward and said, "Second Master, calm down. He is ignorant and used to being rough. I will serve you the food."

The second in command looked towards Li Shubai following the voice and asked, "New here?" The look he gave Li Shubai was like a poisonous snake, with his eyes wrapped around him.

Li Shubai felt nauseous, but he still had to put on a smile.

"I am new here."

"You are quite brave, aren't you afraid?" The second in command stared at him doubtfully.

“Of course I wasn’t afraid, but on the way, they told us about the heroic deeds of the Second In Command, and I was very impressed after listening to them.

What I admire most is people like Erdangjia, who are daring, brave and resourceful. "

Li Shubai said that the happier the second in command laughed, the more he laughed. The second in command was in his thirties, about the same age as Li Jin, and had a diagonal scar on his face.

He walked towards Li Shubai, lifted his chin with his hand, and looked at him carefully.

"Yes, I like it. You will stay and work beside me from now on. What's your name?"

"Li Zhanyu." Anyway, they didn't know who Li Zhanyu was, so it was safer than using his own name.

"Ayu, if you follow me from now on, I will let you eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. As long as I have it, you will never starve." The second in command pinched Li Shubai's arm.

Li Shubai resisted the urge to shake him off and smiled, "Thank you, Second Master."

The person kneeling on the ground and the two cooks looked at Li Shubai with contempt.

The second in command laughed a few times and asked Li Shubai to sit down and eat with him.

Tianbao sat behind the stove and waited for Li Shubai to come back. After waiting for a long time, the two cooks came back.
