Her timely sobbing made her even more pitiful. The diners passing by also heard a few sobs. Seeing Jiang Chuyue crying like a pear blossom in the rain, they couldn't help but give her a few more words of advice.

"Sister, I would say you shouldn't wait for your uncle to come back. You should hurry up and find a good way out for yourself. The world is going to be in chaos now."

……

The chatter was all out of kindness towards a stranger.

After Jiang Chuyue thanked them one by one for their kindness, she turned her head to look at Shopkeeper Wei, and did not miss the fleeting scrutiny in his eyes.

It seems that Manager Wei should know that she has some problems.

"Manager Wei, my home is in Wanshan Village, which is a remote and difficult place to travel to. Why don't you tell the manager of Tong'an Inn when you have any news? I will come to the town every once in a while and will not miss any news." He took the initiative to tell Manager Wei the location of his home.

"Wanshan Village?" Shopkeeper Wei rolled over this familiar place name between his lips, but he couldn't be sure for a moment whether he had heard this place name from Jiang Chuyue before.

“It doesn’t matter. After all, she is a living person. If we find her, I will send someone to send her back to Wanshan Village. If not, I will send someone to the village to give Miss Jiang a definite answer.” From the beginning of cooperation with Jiang Chuyue, Shopkeeper Wei knew that Jiang Chuyue was a smart person.

I just don't know if this smart guy will become a hindrance to him.

"By the way, when I came to the inn just now, the innkeeper said that you had been in the room all the time and never went out. How come Miss Jiang came back from outside just now?" Innkeeper Wei finally asked the most crucial question.

Jiang Chuyue knew that this question would come up, but she chose not to ask it herself. If she had mentioned it herself, it would have seemed a bit too deliberate.

"After getting up in the morning, I felt the weather was nice, so I went out for a walk. The shopkeeper might have been busy and didn't notice me going out." Jiang Chuyue answered very naturally and calmly, and even took out a bag of snacks.

"This is the fruit I bought at the East Gate. I wonder how it tastes. Shopkeeper Wei, would you like to try it?" He opened the snack and pushed it in front of Shopkeeper Wei.

Shopkeeper Wei recognized at a glance that this was the cherry pancake from the Nanbei shop. The quantity of cherry pancakes made at the Nanbei shop was limited, and if you wanted to buy one, you had to queue up early. Shopkeeper Wei's niece loved the fruit from this shop the most, so Shopkeeper Wei specially bought a lot of fruit during this trip to the town.

"The fruits from the Nanbei shop are delicious, but it's quite troublesome to buy them, so I won't eat them." Shopkeeper Wei politely declined Jiang Chuyue's kindness, and Jiang Chuyue took back the cherry pancake with some regret.

It was a pity that the cherries she had specially queued up to buy were fried and she had even added some seasonings to them. However, one cannot be too hasty in doing things. If one is too hasty, it will easily arouse suspicion. Jiang Chuyue did not feel any regret. She picked up a fruit and put it into her mouth.

Shopkeeper Wei, who witnessed Jiang Chuyue's actions, drooped his eyelashes slightly, making it difficult to tell what he was thinking.

"There are children waiting for me at home. I will also send the fruit back. I will leave now."

Jiang Chuyue knew that she couldn't keep Manager Wei, and she still had a lot of things to do, so she naturally wouldn't try to keep him. After seeing Manager Wei off, Jiang Chuyue touched the fruit and ate it while walking. After returning to the guest room of the inn, she lay on the hard and somewhat irritating bed. Jiang Chuyue, who had not slept all night, was now exceptionally awake.

She kept reviewing tonight's plan. It was not an easy task to rescue so many people, but since Jiang Chuyue had already promised to rescue them, she had to do it.

How to rescue so many people without anyone noticing? How to place so many people after rescuing them is a very troublesome matter.

But the most important thing now is to rescue the people. Jiang Chuyue didn't expect them to escape on their own.

They only eat a few bowls of thin porridge with only a few grains of rice a day. With their skinny and weak bodies, they will only become food for wild beasts even if they run into the deep mountains and dense forests.

So when Jiang Chuyue made up her mind to rescue people, she had already planned to use the space to rescue them. However, it was not an easy task to hide the existence of the space in front of so many people.

"Headache." Jiang Chuyue, who was overwhelmed by worry, raised her hand and tapped her aching temple a few times.

"Why are you having a headache?" A very familiar voice suddenly sounded outside the window. Jiang Chuyue happily turned over and opened the window. It was indeed Xiao Yihao outside the window.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Chuyue couldn't hide her surprise.

"Why can't I come?" Xiao Yihao asked back, "My wife didn't come home all night, and I was worried that something happened to her, so I came here. Is that not okay?"

Jiang Chuyue laughed at Xiao Yihao's teasing words, "I thought you were still busy taking over the affairs of Shuiyun Pavilion. It's really rare that Mr. Liu is willing to let you out!"

Ever since he decided to let Xiao Yihao take over Shuiyun Pavilion, Old Liu had put Xiao Yihao through a period of devilish training. During this period, Xiao Yihao would only return to Wanshan Village in a hurry, staying for at most one night before having to rush back again.

As for the place chosen by Mr. Liu, Jiang Chuyue had never been to it and only knew its location roughly.

"He didn't let me out for this matter, but because he found that a lot of people disappeared in the town for no apparent reason. He felt something was wrong, so he let me out to hone my skills and find out what was going on."

Jiang Chuyue's eyes lit up when she heard this, "If you want to know where these missing people went, I should be able to give you an answer."

Xiao Yihao raised his eyebrows and became interested, "Oh? Tell me about it."

After briefly explaining the discovery of the iron mine and the laborers captured from the mine, Jiang Chuyue kept urging Xiao Yihao to come and help.

"The people they arrested were not just strong laborers, but also women, children, and even the elderly. I think they were worried that if they only arrested strong laborers, people would notice something was wrong, so they just arrested people randomly. It doesn't cost much to support these people anyway, so if they can't make it, they can just die. At worst, they can just arrest another group of people."

Jiang Chuyue's brows became very gloomy when talking about what she saw and heard in the mine. She only stayed in the mine for one night, but she learned a lot about the cruel reality of the mine from the workers.

"This matter is too risky." Xiao Yihao frowned, obviously disapproving of Jiang Chuyue's risky arrangement.

"I have already promised them that I will rescue them tonight." Jiang Chuyue silently confronted Xiao Yihao.
