Travel through ancient times and become a great hero

She stood on the cliff in a daze for a long time. The autumn night wind was still very cool.

She clasped her hands on her shoulders and listened to the monotonous sound of stones hitting each other.

Alas! Now that I am here, there is no point in complaining.

I am glad that I am still alive. It doesn’t matter what era it is now. I worked hard in the past to make my life more exciting.

Now let’s start over again!

She doesn't believe in fate, and this may be a lifestyle that God has randomly given her.

So she lamented the accidental and random nature of history.

The purpose of her coming was to find out who killed her.

She quickly walked towards the entrance of the three swordsmen's cave.

The entrance of the cave is at the bottom. It seems that this canyon may have multiple layers of caves like this, just like the Mogao Grottoes.

She climbed down without fear of being discovered by them, after all, she was a yamen runner.

She entered the cave and found that there was no door, only a curtain blocking the dim light inside.

"Tou Zhao, what are you doing here? Don't your superiors forbid you to cross the line?" The three scholars had not yet slept, and were talking about something under the oil lamp.

"My throat hurts, and I wanted to find some medicine. Our medicines are all at the doctor's. Those people were infected with the disease, and I was afraid of being infected, so I didn't go to get them." Charlotte was afraid that they might hear something wrong with her voice, so she quickly explained why she came down.

"How long will it take you to finish the mining? The higher-ups are pushing you hard." The old man didn't look up, and he seemed to be more senior than the chief of the yamen runners.

"Hurry up and find me some medicine. This is not something you and I should care about." Charlotte was afraid that they would suspect her, so she kept saying that her throat hurt.

"There is still one year left. If you don't hurry up and mine, you'll never be able to go back in this life." The old man said grimly.

Charlotte didn't respond.

Charlotte discovered that in addition to these three people, there was someone else snoring inside.

Maybe these three guys were on guard duty.

"Hey, that's strange, why didn't I smell anything when you came in?"

The pale-faced scholar sniffed.

"Maybe you are too tired. Why don't you go and have a rest?" Charlotte took the medicine and drank a sip of water.

"Aren't you waiting for news from Kyoto? Didn't you receive any news?"

The old man looked up and asked Charlotte.

"Maybe later than you guys. Let's go." Charlotte touched her nose habitually and turned to leave.

Charlotte saw that she couldn't get any meaningful words out of him, so she decided to go forward and try again.

She followed the direction she came from and came to the first cave entrance. She found that there was no one inside. There was a tiger skin spread on the stone. There was a bow and arrow lying on the ground.

Could it be that the man has a place to live inside or outside the cave?

She walked around the cave twice but didn't find any mechanism.

She left the cave disappointedly. She was going to walk around the cave. After checking everything out, she knew what was going on. Then she would know when to collect them.

She went to the space to drink some spiritual spring water. After climbing up and down for most of the night, she was a little tired.

The key question is, what ore are they mining?

She shook her head, calling herself stupid.

Wouldn't you take a piece to the space for inspection?

It definitely made the old man feel confused.

She adjusted her mood, picked up two small stones from the dark and placed them into the space.

Then she went to the examination table in the villa's medical room to look at the stone's data.

It didn't matter if she checked it, but when she saw the ingredients inside, she exclaimed loudly, "This is too outrageous."

The stone actually contains two kinds of ores, one is gold ore and the other is iron ore.

She stood up and left the villa, looking carefully at the group of people who were hammering the stones, while another group of people were loading the separated stones onto trucks and transporting them away. The division of labor was clear.

Get out of the space. Follow the cart carrying the stones.

It was the middle of the night, and some were working and some yamen runners were taking a nap, so no one noticed her actions.

One cart after another pushed the stone load deeper into the canyon.

The hundred or so people Charlotte saw were just a minority in the canyon.

Deep in the canyon, there is a group of people picking and selecting stones. There are probably hundreds of people here, but none of them are wearing shackles.

He looks like a strong man.

The sound of stones clanking is endless. Mining is done by hand selection.

Some people were sifting with special wooden trays, probably to sift gold.

Charlotte watched them put the gold in a cart, then two yamen runners pressed the cart, and four people entered a tunnel.

She waited for a moment, and then seeing that no one was paying attention to her, she followed.

After entering the tunnel, I found a cave entrance guarded by more than a dozen people.

She concluded that it must be pure gold that had been screened out.

The pure iron is transported to another hole in the tunnel.

She figured out the address and walked out as if nothing had happened.

"Tou Zhao, you have forgotten the rules of the valley. If our boss sees you, he will give you a taste of your own medicine. Go back quickly. I am doing this for your own good." A soldier said to Tou Zhao.

"I had a headache, was a little confused, and went the wrong way." Charlotte explained quickly.

"Well, we all have to abide by the rules, otherwise we won't even know how we died." The soldier muttered in a low voice.

"It's better to die than to stay here!" Charlotte also muttered softly.

"I came here earlier than you. I was said to have been in there for two years, and it's been two years already. I miss my wife and son so much that I'm going crazy." People who join the army are around 30 years old.

"Then you didn't think of a way to get out?" Charlotte asked him tentatively.

"Who can get out? If they can, why would I tell you this? Lao Li disappeared for a few days. He ran deep into the canyon and was almost eaten by a monster. Now his leg is still lame."

"There must be a way out, otherwise how can we get food and drinks in? They just don't tell us." Charlotte chatted with him. It was almost dawn.

"We were blindfolded when we came in, but I smelled chrysanthemums. Then mint, then pine tar. And then when we got here, it was this damp smell."

"Do you remember which direction it was?" Charlotte handed him a bottle of water.

The guy took a sip and found the drink sweet and refreshing. He drank the whole bottle in one breath.

"Thank you for the water. The water here is awful and salty."

"Are there salt mines there?" Charlotte found that this person provided her with so much information.

"There's a lake further down the canyon. They all get their water from there."

"It's daybreak now. I'm going back to bed. It's really uncomfortable to catch a cold."

Seeing that her friend was also yawning, Charlotte thought that when the day came, she would take the falcon out and go to the sky to look at the terrain below.

Charlotte returned to her residence and lay on her side on the bed. The smell of the quilt made her feel dizzy.

The people on the two beds also came back and fell asleep immediately. They were probably too tired.

After lying there for a while, he saw that both men had fallen asleep.

She got up and left the stone house.

People from the stone house at the back filed out, probably going to take turns to work.

"Tou Zhao, is your throat feeling better? This is the porridge that the kitchen made specially for you, please have some," the yamen runner who brought her here last night came over to offer his courtesy.

Charlotte waved his hand, meaning that he couldn't eat anymore and asked him to take it away.

"Boss, have a drink. Someone will be coming over there to see them off in a bit, so we need you to come over for a bit."

"Okay, put it in there. I'll go out for a while and be back soon." Charlotte spoke in a low voice.

The bailiff thought she was going to the toilet, so he put down the bowl of porridge and left.

Charlotte took advantage of the chaos and came to the cave entrance where she had been last night.

She entered the space and called Falcon over.

"Take me to the air to see where the exit of this canyon is?"

The falcon waited for Charlotte to sit down, then it soared into the sky.
