The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

Mo Yu asked Mo Yun to change into the guard's clothes, while he changed into night clothes and secretly went out to explore the way.

He had surveyed the three roads that Moyun had pointed out to him and found that they all led into the mountains, but were heavily guarded, making it difficult to leave quietly. Furthermore, they were not familiar with the terrain and could easily get lost.

However, the road that Moyu and the others came from led to Laochen Village, and it was even more difficult to take this road.

Mo Yu thought, since we are here, we might as well make the best of it. Let's first figure out the mine.

The interior of the mine was much more complicated than he had imagined. It was really well connected. He walked around the mine and got a general understanding of the terrain here.

At the top of the mine, there is a magnificent palace. Even Mo Yu, who is used to the prosperity of the capital, was amazed by this place. It is really a grand project!

From time to time, the sound of stringed instruments and the humming of songs emanated from the palace, and Mo Yu couldn't help but shudder. Even the most magnificent palace here gave people a spooky feeling, like a person listening to ghosts singing in an underground palace.

He didn't dare to stop and went straight to the next floor. The middle floor was a street market, and he had been here before.

The streets were bustling with people, and Mo Yu, hiding in the shadows, observed for a long time. He thought that the people who came here to spend money were supervisors and guards from the mine. But the more he watched, the more he felt something was wrong.

There are not only guards here, but also people in tattered and poor clothes, and people in long gowns. What's going on?

Mo Yu saw that there was a pawnshop next to him, but there was no one inside. After thinking it over, he decided to go in and give it a try, so he slipped into the pawnshop.

The counter of the pawnshop was the same as any ordinary pawnshop outside. Behind the tall counter sat a young man in his twenties. When he saw Mo Yu, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Welcome to our distinguished guest. I wonder if you would like to be the pawnshop owner, dead or alive."

Mo Yu was very surprised that the waiter didn't suspect that he was a outsider at all.

"Hey, do you have any cheap clothes for sale here? I didn't bring any change of clothes when I came here, and I want to buy some."

The waiter was overjoyed when he heard this: "Yes, yes, yes, please move to the next room."

The young man took Mo Yu to the next door stone chamber. As soon as they entered, a stale, musty smell hit them. The stone chamber was filled with a mess of things, like an abandoned warehouse.

The young man didn't feel uncomfortable at all. He warmly welcomed Mo Yu and opened a cupboard, which was full of wrinkled clothes made of all kinds of materials.

The young man said to Mo Yu in a familiar manner: "Sir, you look like a newcomer. You haven't been to a mine before, right?"

Mo Yu immediately felt that this was something unusual. He nodded honestly. The young man said, "I can tell at a glance that all newcomers are just like you. But I still advise you to take it easy, brother. Don't spend all your money on gambling and brothels, otherwise you will die of exhaustion in the mines."

Mo Yu was startled, then pretended to be nonchalant and said, "How much can a brothel cost? Don't worry, I have plenty of energy to work. Besides, I can earn a lot of money in a day in the mines!"

"Tsk!" the young man shook his head and sighed. Just another workaholic. He muttered softly, "Thousands of miners in this mine think the same way. They end up drowning in debt and can't pay it off even if they work themselves to death."

Mo Yu was surprised that there were so many miners in this mine.

Mo Yu pretended to be scared and said, "Young man, what you said makes sense. What if I really can't control myself and spend all my money on brothels? I'd better go home!"

Mo Yu turned to leave, but the young man grabbed him and said, "I think you are really stupid. You came here and you still want to leave. Do you think those people outside are vegetarians? Now that you are in the mine, don't even think about getting out."

"Ah! What should I do?" Mo Yu pretended to be scared: "That's not what they said when I came here. They said that as long as I earn enough money, I can leave at any time."

The young man sighed and said, "Then I'll tell you the rules here. You'll have to know them sooner or later anyway."

The waiter pulled Mo Yu out and pointed at the people coming and going on the street. He said, "These people were just like you at first, thinking they could make money and enjoy themselves here. Yes, you can make money here, but the mine doesn't provide food! If you want to eat, you can only go to the restaurant. Gradually, you'll find that the money you earn is not enough to eat. You can only keep a record of it and use it against your wages, and the difference will eventually increase. Some people can't bear it anymore and want to gamble, but you can imagine the consequences. In the end, everyone chooses to indulge themselves. They can't pay off their debts in their lifetime anyway, so they just muddle along!"

Mo Yu pretended to be anxious and asked, "What will happen in the end?"

"Ultimately, your debt piles up, your work hours get longer and longer, and you burn yourself out."

Mo Yu was speechless. A privately mined mine owner was so arrogant, coming up with so many excuses, just because he didn't want to pay and didn't want to have a bad reputation. Ha! He thought it didn't count as murder if he didn't get blood on his hands!

Mo Yu said pitifully: "Can I, can I leave here?"

The young man pointed to another cave and said, "The living can't get out, but the dead can. If you die, they will be carried out and thrown out of that cave."

"Ah! Then, what is that place outside?"

The young man said with a stern face, "Of course it's a cliff, a thousand-foot cliff. People who die will be thrown out from here." He looked at Mo Yu cautiously and said, "I advise you not to pretend to be dead. If you are thrown out, you will really be dead."

Mo Yu pretended to be distraught and was about to leave listlessly. The young man saw him and pulled him aside and whispered, "If you want to work less and suffer less, I have a way."

Mo Yu's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "What's the solution?"

"You've hidden some contraband while working. If you can bring it out and give it to me, I'll exchange it for silver. I promise I won't treat you unfairly."

Mo Yu understood what was going on, but on the surface he was extremely grateful and bought two pieces of clothing and two quilts from the waiter.

This time he walked down the street with a swagger, and sure enough, no one noticed him.

Mo Yu went to the next level, where the miners lived. Compared to the luxurious first level, this was a slum. Thousands of people were crammed together, and the air was filthy. Everyone slept on the ground. Some had dirty quilts spread out on the ground, while others, so poor they didn't even have quilts, slept directly on the ground.

The environment here is oppressive and suffocating. No wonder they go up there to enjoy themselves even though they know they'll die of exhaustion in the mines. This is simply not a place for human beings.

Their dungeon was right down there. Mo Yu came back with a quilt and spread it over the two seriously injured people.

When Doctor Ma saw Mo Yu, he grabbed his hand and said excitedly, "The fever is gone, the fever is gone... This medicine is amazing. Black boy, I beg you, just give me a dose of medicine!"

Mo Yu was also shocked to see that Mo Xue's fever subsided so quickly. He didn't expect Miss Mu's medicine to be so effective. It was truly a panacea.

He ignored Doctor Ma. This medicine was of great importance and he could not give it to anyone without his master's permission.

"Give them both plenty of water. Don't let them run out of water."

Seeing that Mo Yu ignored him, Doctor Ma did not get discouraged and took the initiative to take on the task of taking care of the patient.

Mo Yu and the other two came out to talk, and Mo Yu told them what he had heard and seen.
