Chapter 97
"Do you know where there are people like you who have been working?" After Ji Qingyue asked, she carefully paid attention to his expression.

The boy's face changed drastically, he subconsciously protected his wrist, and stared at her: "Are you going to report me and send me back to that wolf den?"

"Wolf den?" Ji Qingyue heard something, didn't let him go, and continued to ask: "I'm not paying attention to you, I'm just here to find someone, if you can help me find someone, I can give you food Live on a full stomach.”

"Is what you said true?" The boy looked forward to it but couldn't believe it.

Ji Qingyue handed him the steamed stuffed bun: "You finish eating first, and then continue talking to me when you have strength."

The young man looked at her vigilantly, and then stared at the steamed stuffed bun for a while, his eyes were obviously darkened by hunger, so he bit his lip vigilantly and did not reach out to take it.

"What?" Ji Qingyue raised her eyebrows: "Afraid that the buns are poisonous?"

"You are so timid, I guess you can only starve for the rest of your life. If it were me, I would eat it even if it was poisonous. At least I would have the strength to kill the other party before I die."

The young master's expression froze, he didn't expect Ji Qingyue to say such vicious words.

He quickly regained his composure, glanced at Ji Qingyue, then grabbed the bun in her hand, and ate it in big mouthfuls, not caring about the image at all.

Ji Qingyue bought twenty steamed buns and put them directly in front of him, and waited quietly while he was eating without saying a word.

He stopped when he ate the fifth one: "I want to take the rest back for my younger brothers and sisters to eat."

"Okay, as long as you like it."

The young man held on tightly to the cloth bag that was wrapped in the bun, completely let go of his vigilance towards Ji Qingyue, raised his head and asked, "Is it true what you just said about giving me a life that can fill my stomach?"

"That depends on whether the information you told me is useful." Ji Qingyue said.

"I know that there are a lot of workers, and they still can't get out." The young man grabbed the bun, with anger and hatred on his face, as if he didn't want to hide it anymore, so he told Ji Qingyue everything he knew.

"There is a Ping family in the county town. They used the excuse of renovating the house to hire a lot of people to work there. Because of the high price, many people went there."

"And when they ask people to ask about the family situation, the poorer they are, the more they can get the opportunity to work. Because of that, many beggars like us who can't afford to eat have gone to work in the Hera family, and we know later that this is When there was a conspiracy, but there was no way to resist it, I had to escape with my brothers and sisters for the sake of their lives."

"Even so, we starved a few brothers to death on the way."

"You are beggars, and you definitely don't want to leave if you have food to eat. Could it be that the other party is working for nothing and won't give you money?"

After hearing this, Ji Qingyue couldn't help doubting.

The boy shook his head: "No, it's true that the Ping family is renovating their house, but we poor people without status are called to mine."

"Self-mining is a capital offense, and I also saw those people who have been working for several years and have never gone out."

"I heard from them that those who go in to mine the mine will never be able to get out again. Even if the mine is dug, there is only one dead end. The Ping family will keep everything secret."

"I saw them kill people with my own eyes before..." the young man said, his body trembling slightly, his eyes full of horror.

Ji Qingyue frowned, she didn't expect such a big case involving the young man, she just came to find her second uncle, and she didn't want to get involved in the matter of private mining.

She has self-knowledge, even if it is useless to save everyone inside, the Ping family dared to dig a private mine, there must be someone on it, she has only traveled through time for half a month, although she has made a little money, she can't afford to provoke those big shots.

She glanced at the young man and said suddenly: "I can help you wash off the tattoos on your hands, and you can return to a normal life, and the Ping family will not come to you in the future."

"You are beggars in the first place, and you don't have any status. It will be relatively easy to follow me back to the village and settle down directly."

"You don't want to go to the Ping family anymore? Aren't you looking for someone?" The boy was a little surprised.

Ji Qingyue shook her head: "The person I'm looking for should not be in the Ping family."

The boy's words have already been made very clear. If he went to the Heike family, unless he escaped, there is no way to get out.

But last time she met the second uncle, and she didn't see any anxious look on his face. Most likely he is still free, but he has been working hard and living a very hard life.

"Then... can I still leave with you?" The young man was a little depressed. He thought that the secrets in his body could help Ji Qingyue, but in the end it was of no value. This feeling is really uncomfortable.

Ji Qingyue reached out and patted the carriage: "Come up, I'll take you back to the village and give you a brand new identity."

The young man was overjoyed, and Ji Qingyue said again: "But now we still have to go to the county town to find people in those places where they work."

"Okay." The boy quickly jumped into the carriage, then rubbed his hands together: "Girl, I...I have one more request, can you take my younger brothers and sisters with you?"

"They will definitely starve to death after I leave." The boy's voice was slightly anxious, "Don't worry, after we go, we will be yours, and we will do whatever you say in the future, and we will definitely not eat a lot."

"Where are they?" Ji Qingyue asked while pulling the rope of the carriage.

The boy was stunned for a while before he realized that Ji Qingyue had agreed, and he danced happily in an instant: "It's in the ruined temple outside the city."

With the boy pointing the way, the two soon arrived at the ruined temple outside the city.

Sure enough, as the young man said, there were two men and two women in the ruined temple, both around ten years old, and when they saw the young man, they immediately surrounded them, but one of them was lying on the rag, his face was flushed, and he was seriously ill.

"Brother Dalang." The two younger girls had sallow faces, holding the boy's hand with anticipation: "Did you ask for the medicine back, Brother Erlang is dying soon."

As they talked, one of them even started to cry. They had been hungry for three days, and apart from eating a moldy steamed bun and drinking a lot of river water, they couldn't survive at all.

Now the older Dalang became their hope. Once they came back without food and medicine, they really didn't know how to live. Could it be that they were really going to starve to death?

The two girls were a little desperate again, and the light in the eyes of the other boy went out when he saw Da Lang with his hands empty, and he squatted on the ground suddenly, weeping in despair like a hungry wolf.

Seeing the reactions of his younger brothers and sisters, the young Dalang hurriedly shouted: "Eldest sister, second sister, Erlang Saburo, we are saved, we have food, and I have brought buns back, so we don't have to go hungry anymore, really, don't believe it." Come and see."
