At lunchtime, the miners lined up with broken bowls, iron basins and other items to get food. The porridge, which was so thick that you could see the bottom at a glance, with some vegetable leaves floating on top, smelled a bit strange. What they ate at every meal was not enough to fill their stomachs.

Many people had wanted to leave here, and some had fled to the mountains, but most of them were caught. Some fell into the traps set by the guards and died in the traps, while others were eaten by the wild beasts raised in the mines.

There are also several tigers in this mine. When the tigers roar, the miners are terrified when they hear it.

There were guards who drove a few tigers into iron cages and stuffed the escaped miners into the cages, forcing the other miners to watch their companions being eaten by the tigers...

Out of sight of the guards, a group of people gathered in a corner, talking.

"Brother, what should we do?"

"I have copied the keys on the guards. These keys can open the door of the armory, but we are definitely no match for these guards..."

After hearing what the eldest brother said, the people watching felt very disappointed. In the years they have been here, they have seen other people resist, but those who resisted were killed by the guards.

The weapons of these guards include not only swords but also bows and arrows and crossbows. In addition to using tools such as hoes and knives for work, using these things to fight the guards is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.

What should they do?

But if they continue like this, they might be beaten to death by these guards one day.

They had been preparing secretly for a year or two, quietly forging some things and also buried them in some places that only they knew about.

They also thought about running away quietly and then reporting to the authorities to have them investigate.

However, some of their companions who had escaped were caught, some died in the mountains, and some were thrown off the cliff. They didn't dare to gamble until they were sure.

"Brother, do you think the people from the imperial court will discover this mine?"

"Perhaps this is a mine run by the imperial court. Didn't you see that the guards are wearing the clothes of yamen runners?"

"No, it's impossible. If it was really issued by the imperial court, the people sent here must be criminals, not people like us who were captured and deceived."

"Old Yang is right. No matter how excessive the imperial court is, they won't arrest anyone. They must be criminals, not people who were captured and tricked like us."

"Oh God, please open your eyes and save us."

Among them, some were shop owners, some were scholars, and some were out looking for work. They were deceived into thinking there were good jobs, and then they were forced to put their fingerprints on the document and were brought here.

"These people will definitely get their comeuppance."

"I never thought that I would be trapped here for more than ten years, not knowing what was happening at home."

"I was deceived by a tribe member in our village. He said he would take me to find a good job so that I could support my family..."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Some people started crying while speaking, and the people around them felt very sad when they heard it.

Others quickly covered his mouth, fearing that his crying would attract the guards.
