Female-to-male: I live on farming

The supervisor saw Qin Ke standing there in a daze and started whipping him.

Qin Ke could be considered to be 'spoiled' these years, with delicate skin and tender flesh. When the whip hit his back, he instantly felt a burning pain on his back.

He cried out in pain and immediately glared at the supervisor holding the whip.

"What are you looking at! Get back to work!" The man raised the whip and pretended to hit him again.

Very good, when you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Qin Ke was not stupid, and now was not the time to act tough, so he hurriedly followed the person in front of him, picked up the hammer and found a position.

He squatted down and moved his arms with a grin. He had never been bullied like this since the incident in Qinghe Village. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, so just wait.

Qin Ke learned to hammer the ore from the people around him and realized that this was actually a gold mine. No wonder those people had the capital to rebel.

They must have used the gold here to bribe colluding court officials, otherwise they would not have official weapons.

However, this also made Qin Ke realize the danger here. The group of people who have the secret of the gold mine here will definitely not let others know, so these captured mining laborers will not be able to escape from here unless they die.

These people exploited people even more than slave owners. They only had to eat a little watery food in the morning but had to dig minerals in this cramped and depressing mine for a whole day.

Qin Ke had hardly even washed clothes in these years, and when he first started doing this pure hard labor, he felt like it was killing him.

Soon blisters appeared on his hands, but he didn't dare stop, otherwise the supervisor would definitely whip him.

Qin Ke, who dared not speak out but was angry, worked hard in the mine for a whole day and felt like his waist was not his own. He wanted to wait for his wife to wipe out this group of rebels and he would definitely take a few months vacation after returning.

He sacrificed too much.

Seeing that it was getting late, the supervisor asked them to stop working and change shifts.

The food at night was still very poor. Coarse and fine grains were mixed together to make porridge. There was half a bowl of water in each bowl of porridge, and only one steamed potato was added to the morning meal.

Qin Ke felt mixed emotions while eating the potatoes that he had promoted. No wonder the laborers here were so skinny.

After a day of pure physical labor, this is all they get. For an adult man, it is not enough to fill his appetite.

Fortunately, Qin Ke had a space, so he could always sneakily replenish some food, so he wouldn't be as miserable as those people.

When he was driven back to the cell again, Qin Ke heard the miserable screams of a woman coming from the wooden house not far away.

Qin Ke subconsciously took a step toward that direction.

Wu Zhong, who was walking beside him, immediately stopped him and whispered, "Don't worry about it, or you'll be the one in trouble!"

Qin Ke also had a vague guess in his mind: "Were those women also captured?"

"Yes," Wu Zhong nodded, "The captured men were used as laborers, and the women were locked up there to serve them."

Qin Ke looked back and saw that the person guarding the door was actually a middle-aged woman. She also had a red scarf tied around her arm. She seemed used to it and even had a smile on her face.

Qin Ke felt that the smile was more painful and sad than the supervisor's whip.

Liuyun appeared in front of Qin Ke again two days later. Apparently, it was not so easy to avoid the eyes and ears here. He chose a corner where no one was watching and suddenly appeared in front of Qin Ke.

"Sir, I am late."

Qin Ke looked around hurriedly and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one had noticed.

"No, you're just in time." Qin Ke helped him up and lowered his voice to warn him, "I've already figured out the general situation here. Take my letter back to Ningtang and report the situation here truthfully. Let my wife lead the Xuanjia Army to encircle and suppress this place."

Qin Ke took out a letter that he had prepared long ago from his arms, and even gave Liuyun a few ingots of silver.

"But sir, what will you do if I leave?" Liuyun clutched the envelope tightly and looked at Qin Ke with a worried look on his face.

Especially after not seeing each other for two days, Qin Ke had several scars on his body.

"My life will not be in danger in the short term. If I disappear rashly, they will immediately be alert and may even move to another location. It will be difficult to catch them then. You have to go back and report first!"

Liuyun had been hiding in the outer woods for the past few days and had discovered that the area was heavily guarded. It was impossible for him to escape safely with Qin Ke on his own.

At this moment, I heard light footsteps, someone was coming.

"Don't worry, sir. I will complete the mission." Liuyun nodded hurriedly and disappeared in front of Qin Ke.

……

Liuyun was shouldering an important mission. He kept the letter entrusted to him by Qin Ke close to his body and carefully sneaked out of the Mahayana sect's base.

As soon as he left their sphere of influence, Liuyun ran wildly towards Ningtang. He didn't know the way, but he knew the direction of Ningtang. As long as he met someone on the way there, he would know the specific route.

He ran for a whole day. When he was thirsty, he looked for water in the nearby river. When he was hungry, he ate wild fruits. Finally, he saw people's lights before dark.

He didn't know how the lord had found the silver in such a difficult situation, but the silver did solve his current situation.

He bought a horse and some dry food, asked for directions, and rode non-stop to Ningtang.

"Master Lu, Master, someone is back!"

Lu Youqing was dispatching grain for disaster relief in the granary. She knew that Qin Ke had stored some grain into the space to prevent moisture. Now the amount of grain stored in the granary did not match the amount distributed by the court.

She could only watch it herself.

Suddenly, the maid who was following her ran in hurriedly, and almost stumbled and fell to the ground because of her anxiety.

"what's up?"

The maid rushed in front of her, panting heavily: "It's... it's Liuyun!"

Lu Youqing was startled and quickly grabbed her arm: "What did you say?"

Her voice was shaking as she spoke, and her arm holding the maid's was shaking as well.

She rarely loses her composure like this. Since entering the officialdom, she has learned not to show her emotions on her face, but now she no longer cares about that.

"Your Excellency, Liuyun is back. He said he has something to give you!"

Lu Youqing hurried out. Liuyun was already waiting outside. He was still wearing the clothes he wore on the day he disappeared. The clothes were already dirty and covered with dust and dirt. When he saw Lu Youqing, he knelt down and saluted.

He presented the letter with both hands, lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "I am Liuyun, your subordinate, to pay my respects to Lord Lu. This is the letter that Lord Qin asked me to give to you."

Lu Youqing's eyes were as deep as the abyss, like a quiet deep pool, but at this moment they seemed to be illuminated by a faint light.

At that moment, it was as if the warm sunshine penetrated the clouds and illuminated her cold heart again.

She slowly stretched out her hand and took the letter, her fingers trembling slightly, and the muscles on her cheeks also trembled slightly, as if she was crying, but also laughing.

The expression was extremely complicated, but it made people feel sad for no reason.
