The old lady said coldly: "I don't know. I have been here since I found this mine. I have been enduring for many days. When I couldn't work anymore, I was relieved naturally."

Hua Xin asked again: "Are you from Daxia or Beirong?"

"Of course I am from Daxia. Didn't you hear that I spoke Daxia?"

Hua Xin didn't say anything, so the old lady continued, "I just told you to be more obedient, but you have so many problems. Talk less and do more, or you'll go hungry."

"understood."

Hua Xin looked around, and soon the old lady pointed to a hidden place and said, "Go in and change your clothes. You can exchange your clothes for a lot of food. As your first meal here, it will naturally be better."

Hua Xin walked in and found that it was just a dug-out area, blocked by wooden boards from the outside.

"Auntie, I'm fine now. Here are the clothes for you!"

Hua Xin realized that this lady must have some power, otherwise she wouldn't have led her.

"You have some sense. Let's go! I'll take you to a good meal first, and then we can get to work. Our work as women is very simple."

The old lady was in a good mood after getting Hua Xin's clothes, and she talked more to Hua Xin.

The meal before work was indeed delicious, Hua Xin even saw a roast chicken.

"Our jobs include transporting gravel, sorting stones, washing clothes and cleaning. The accommodation is a large bunk bed, with 30 people sleeping in one cave. If you want to improve your life, it's very simple. Sleep with the leader for a night and you can have an independent residence. Of course, once you start, you can't stop unless the leader hates you."

"Leader? Which one?"

Since Hua Xin came in, all he saw were thugs with big swords, and he didn't see any leader at all.

"The chief is not here today. He only comes to see the goods on the first and fifteenth of the month. So what do you think?"

The old lady looked at Hua Xin, but her eyes kept staring at the roasted chicken leg in her bowl.

Hua Xin directly handed the roasted chicken leg to the old lady and said, "Auntie, you are so good to me, this roasted chicken leg is my filial piety to you, please talk to me, that job is easier. I want to live a little longer with my thin arms and legs!"

The old lady took the roasted chicken leg handed over by Hua Xin, took a fierce bite and said, "You are not my type, girl. I tell you! It's better to sort the stones."

The old lady took another bite and said in a low voice, "Don't underestimate those small stones. You can refine gold from small stones. You know how small amounts add up to a lot."

"Don't you want to check? Isn't it useless if you can't take it out?"

The old lady looked at Hua Xin and shook her head, saying, "You just got here, so you don't understand. You'll understand after a while. Okay, eat quickly! Someone will come to clean up and register soon, so remember to be good."

"Where are you going, Auntie?"

Hua Xin asked fearfully when she saw the old lady was about to leave.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom, hehe!"

The old lady walked away while talking, and soon someone came in to register Hua Xin's information.

"What's your name, how old are you, where are you from?"

"Bai Lianhua, 14 years old, from Lao Beiguan."

"The old Beiguan people are really looking for death by coming to the foot of Tianshan Mountain! She is so white, has a nice name, and looks lovely, wow." The man wanted to drool just by looking at Hua Xin, and even wanted to reach out and touch her.

Hua Xin naturally dodged it.

"You little bitch, are you still hiding? Are you itching for trouble? I'm telling you, once you come here, don't even think about getting out. Wait until the leader inspects the goods, and sooner or later I'll play with you!"

Hua Xin gave the man a cold look.

"Hey, you're still glaring at me?"

The man threatened to beat Hua Xin, but then the old lady came back.

"Hey, why is it Tie Ye who is here to register today? Where is Xiao Zhuzi? Are you being lazy?"

Uncle Tie's name was Tieye. When he heard the old lady calling him like that, he said impatiently, "Little Zhuzi has diarrhea. Didn't you say there were only two rabbits? I came alone. But this girl is so pretty!"

Tieye said this and started again.

"Hey, Tieye, the leader hasn't even inspected the goods, so how can it be our turn? Don't worry, if the leader doesn't want it, I'll send this person to you!"

"That's more like it, little Lotus, you'll be mine sooner or later!"

After Tieye left, the old lady took Hua Xin to look up and down. When she found no traces, she said, "So your name is Lianhua! It's a nice name. My last name is Yu, so just call me Aunt Yu."

"My name is Bai Lianhua, Aunt Yu, what does this Mr. Tie do?"

"Tie Ye is in charge of population registration and account cancellation... Little Lotus, it's enough for you to know the general idea."

Close account?

Hua Xin sneered in her heart: To put it bluntly, it is to kill people and destroy the body!

It is indeed correct to say that the account was cancelled.

"I understand, Aunt Yu. I won't say anything more."

Hua Xin covered her mouth as she spoke.

"It's not a coincidence at all. Today is only the third day of the Lunar New Year, and it's still a long way to the fifteenth! Just follow me and work!" Aunt Yu herself didn't know why, but she felt happy when she saw Hua Xin. Maybe it was because she was young!

"Ok."

It is impossible to tell whether it is day or night in the mine, but the sleeping time is fixed.

Hua Xin slept with Aunt Yu in another large bunk bed.

However, there are relatively fewer people here, all of them are managers, about twelve in total.

"Old Yu, why do you have a daughter with you?"

"Oh, she looks pretty fresh!"

Several women who were about the same age as Aunt Yu started talking to Hua Xin at the same time.

"This is new. We will have to show it to the chief for inspection when the time comes! Don't even look at it."

Aunt Yu tried her best to block Hua Xin, but since she was coming, she wanted to be seen by others. Soon, with the help of torches, everyone could see Hua Xin's appearance clearly.

"Hello, ladies. My name is Bai Lianhua."

Hua Xin acted timid and deliberately lowered her voice.

"Tsk, even the name is so nice."

"Yes, it sounds like the Snow Lotus of Tianshan Mountain."

Hua Xin immediately looked at the person who was speaking.

"What this lady said is that my family said I looked like the snow lotus of Tianshan Mountain, so they named me Lotus."

"Hey, speaking of which, this Tianshan Snow Lotus has always been a legend, and many people have come to look for it, but it's a pity that I haven't heard of anyone who has actually found it."

"That's right! They said it was just a legend, but people still came here. As a result, they all came here to mine."

Hua Xin listened carefully, she didn't expect that most of the people here came in this way, so the rest should be the original people from this place.

We have to wait for news from Nangong Ziqiu for the details, and we don’t know what he can find out.

Hua Xin, who originally planned to leave, decided not to leave immediately after learning that this was a gold mine.

First of all, there are Beirong people and Daxia people here, so the identity of the person behind the scenes is questionable.

Secondly, since it is a gold mine, we need to investigate where the miners will transport the gold and what they will use it for.
