What Gao Ruoxuan saw was nothing else but the deep pit in front of her.
The pit was estimated to be more than two meters high. The people in the pit were only about 1.34 meters tall. All of them were dragging long iron chains. Some were carrying two baskets of coal half as high as a person. Some were adding fire to the stove. Guide an unknown mass into the groove...
Sensing someone approaching, they raised their heads and looked in Gao Ruoxuan's direction. Only then did Gao Ruoxuan see their appearance clearly - it could be said that they were no longer human, as if they were a group of skeletons covered in human skin moving around. Their faces were covered with black things, and there were several invisible strips hanging on their bodies. Shapes and colors of rags…
Gao Ruoxuan took a breath. She finally knew what the so-called "commander" said was the "tool" that was difficult to solve - the group of people in front of her.
Others don't know what it feels like to be stared at by a group of "skeletons" with eyes, but Gao Ruoxuan has experienced it.
Being stared at by these frightening eyes, she could hardly hold the weapon in her hand for a moment. When the people in the pit saw that she was motionless, they lowered their heads and started working.
There was only one person, who still looked like a human being, walking straight towards her direction. Gao Ruoxuan saw that although there were iron chains on his feet, there was not much rust on them. She guessed that this man had stayed shorter than the others.
Sure enough, the man walked to her feet and spoke, "Are you... from... from outside... from outside...?" His voice was so hoarse that people doubted whether he could speak.
"Yes, I accidentally discovered the secret passage and walked along it." She replied.
"Hurry...go! Danger...danger! Arresting people...for making opium, Bai...Bai Jingxuan...evil." Gao Ruoxuan spoke intermittently, and Gao Ruoxuan roughly guessed that a person named Bai Jingxuan should have arrested them. Here, and then trap them in chains to become tools for making big smoke.
Deal with Bai Jingxuan? No, her small body is not big enough to deliver food, not to mention that there is a "commander" behind Bai Jingxuan. If she was so capable, she wouldn't have to escape from the Wang family in such an embarrassing manner.
However, she couldn't just sit back and ignore them, so she could only ask about the situation and find someone to rescue them if there was a chance.
So, she started to ask: "Where are you from? How long have you been here?"
……
It took Gao Ruoxuan a lot of effort to deduce the general facts from the other party: These people were originally children from a village outside the city. After being quietly abducted here by Bai Jingxuan, they were first beaten severely and then starved for several days. It was tied up with iron chains and became a tool in this tobacco-making factory.
Over time, without anyone to speak to, they gradually lost their ability to speak. The person she was talking to came here five years ago and could barely speak a few words.
Gao Ruoxuan looked at the other people in the pit. According to Huzi, most of them were eighteen or nineteen years old. However, with things like this now, no one would believe them even if they were said to be twelve or thirteen years old.
Huzi didn't mention anything else, he just kept saying it was dangerous here and asked her to leave quickly.
Seeing these short figures, she remembered the night when Gao Mansion was massacred. She also had a younger brother who was also as tall and was killed before he could hide in. When he died, his eyes were not closed, and he was still saying "sister, run".
She was filled with grief and anger, and decided to rescue them if she had the chance.
Gao Ruoxuan told Huzi that if they persisted for a while, she would definitely come back to save them.
Hu Zi didn't seem to hear it and just let her go.
Gao Ruoxuan looked back as she walked. Until the light disappeared, she strode forward and went back to find Gao Ruoxi.
Under the pit, Huzi gasped for air. Thinking of Gao Ruoxuan's words, although it was a slim possibility, he still had unlimited hope.
Outside... Looking at the heavy chains on his feet, he smiled bitterly, his body was bumped, and a basket was handed over.
The next second, he put away the expression on his face and became numb. He stiffly picked up the basket and walked towards the coal pile...
Gao Ruoxuan learned the lesson from last time, disguised carefully, and finally escaped from the city with Gao Ruoxi. She wanted to go to Zhuangzi as Huzi said, but she suddenly realized that, regardless of whether the people in Zhuangzi believed her or not, even if there were people from Zhuangzi and the other party had the support of the commander, they might not come without these people.
Suddenly, she remembered the red soldiers who had helped her before. She seemed to have met them when she was on her way into the city...
Since he can help her, he shouldn't refuse to help others...
She decided to find the red soldiers here for help. After finding a family to settle her sister in, she began to search under the guidance of fellow villagers.
After wandering around the mountains outside the city for several days, she could not find any trace of them. That day, she was running around in the mountains. When she thought she was in the wrong place, she accidentally stepped into a trap.
She shouted for help below, feeling a little desperate when she realized that this was a barren mountain with few people. Suddenly, a head popped out of the trap and asked with a smile: "Do you need help, little girl?"
……
After Gao Ruoxuan was pulled up, she realized that there was another person next to her. The person looked at her with a rather serious expression and said, "We have seen you wandering around the mountains for several days. If it is not something important, go down. The mountains are dangerous. "
"I, I'm here to find someone." Gao Ruoxuan replied calmly.
"Who are you looking for? No one lives in this mountain." The man's expression softened slightly.
……
After telling a lie about looking for her brother who was a red soldier and being exposed, Gao Ruoxuan was finally told that they were the people she was looking for.
The person in charge of standing guard saw her walking up the mountain as a little girl two days ago. He was worried and reported to the police. Their team secretly sent someone to follow them to be on guard against anything happening.
But Gao Ruoxuan went up the mountain for several days, not knowing what to do. Finally, the captain, who happened to be fine, came over to see what was going on.
Gao Ruoxuan was also a little embarrassed, but now was not the time to be ashamed, Huzi's side of things was more important.
She detailed what she saw in the secret passage, and the other party was stunned for a moment.
However, due to her previous "criminal record", she did not say whether she believed it or not. She just said that she would send someone to check the situation and sent her down the mountain.
Gao Ruoxuan waited for a few days, and finally the little soldier who had pulled her out of the trap came down the mountain to pick her up.
It turned out that after that day, the captain thought again and again and sent someone to investigate the situation. After finding out that something was indeed going on, he took his men and went quietly.
The man was brought back, but he himself was shot twice while covering the man's retreat, and he still can't get off the kang.
The rescued Huzi was too vigilant. Even if they rescued him, he would only believe in Gao Ruoxuan, so...
Gao Ruoxuan is also in the base area now, taking care of these rescued people...
