After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 430 Cave

When the carriage stopped, they pretended to be unconscious and were carried off the carriage and thrown to the ground.

Then someone untied them, took the rags out of their mouths, and gave them a bucket of cold water.

The two of them were startled and sat up immediately.

"Who, who splashed water on me?" Xiong Da roared immediately.

"Now that you're here, do you really think you're an insignificant person?" The voice of the man in the carriage before.

Xia Wanniang looked around in horror. This was a cave, and she couldn't see the outside at all. "Where is this place? Who are you?"

The man looked at the two men and said, "Now that you're here, don't even think about leaving. Go work for me right now, or I'll whip you to death." As he spoke, he waved the whip in his hand.

Xiong Da wanted to stand up and beat him, but was stopped by Xia Wanniang who was standing beside him: "What kind of work are you doing? We just have some conflicts, why are you still working here?"

The man looked at the two of them and said, "Now that we're here, you have no right to ask questions." He winked at the person next to him.

The man next to them took two pairs of shackles and put them on the two men, then pushed them into the cave.

Along the way, Xia Wanniang took note of the guarding situation here. There was a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps, and each of them was equipped with a sword.

The further you go inside, the dimmer the light becomes. You can only see torches stuck on the stone walls and barely see the road on the ground.

Once you get inside the tunnel, you can still hear the clanging sound of excavation.

"My lord, give me some water to drink!"

"Damn it, I asked you to do some work and you started to make excuses. Do you want me to sleep with your daughter again?" After that, the sound of a whip hitting flesh was heard.

"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I won't drink anymore. I won't drink anymore. I know I was wrong."

The two were pushed inside and slowly saw the situation inside clearly.

There are quite a few people here, both men and women, young and old, but they are all unkempt and in very bad mental states. Long hours of work and no sight of the sun have taken a toll on their bodies.

Xia Wanniang also saw a pregnant woman and some very young children among these people, all of whom were working silently.

The expression on his face was numb and dull, without any sign of life.

"These two are new here, give them some tools." The man behind them said to the people inside.

The person inside looked at the two men and said, "They look strong and strong, and they look like good laborers." Then he threw two pickaxes to them and said, "Each of you must dig ten kilograms of ore every day, otherwise you won't have any food."

Xia Wanniang held the pickaxe without saying a word, found a place and started digging towards the wall.

When Xiong Da saw her like this, he stopped standing close to her. There were people guarding behind them, so they couldn't talk.

Xia Wanniang was not worried about having nothing to eat. While digging, she observed what kind of mine it was.

With the help of the firelight on the stone walls, she discovered that there were faint golden spots on the walls.

Is it a gold mine?

She quietly exchanged a small scanner from the exchange space, and scanned and inspected the mountain with her back to the people behind her.

When she saw the results, her eyebrows raised. This was truly a gold mine with a huge storage capacity.

It seems that this gold mine has been mined for two or three years, but due to a shortage of manpower, the mining progress is not ideal.

No wonder the people above are so anxious and are now planning to take action against the people in the northwest.

Xiong Da was very strong. While the people behind him were not paying attention, he threw some of the ore he had dug in front of Xia Wanniang.

Xia Wanniang just took a look and didn't say anything. If she wanted to dig out ten kilograms, she had plenty of ways to do it. But now there was someone standing behind her, so she should keep a low profile.

She was quite strong, but working in such a confined space made her feel a little breathless.

Since entering this cave, they have no way of determining the current time. Even when resting, they cannot be sure what time it is.

The day's work was finally over. The leading man came to inspect today's harvest. Seeing that they had dug twenty kilograms, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well done." After that, he asked the people behind him to bring them a steamed bun and a bag of water.
