Chapter 290 - 113 East Mountain_3
Xiao Hei? Jiang Li recognized the person’s face clearly.
"Xiaohei has been sick for over half a month now, we guess he won’t live for many more days," He Jun said hatefully, "Feng Yutang’s people won’t get us a doctor. The other ten brothers of mine all died like this, being tortured to death." As he spoke, he trembled while untieing Xiao Hei’s clothes on his back.
The clothes and flesh on that back had already merged into one piece; the bloody, indistinct mess emitted waves of foul odor. It was hard to imagine this was the flesh of a living person. Each lash mark was embedded in the flesh, and there wasn’t a single piece of intact skin left.
"The whips they use to beat us with, they all have barbs on them," He Jun said, looking at Xiao Hei, "Xiao Hei is young, yet he stubbornly held on until the end, and now he too is close to his last breath."
Jiang Li knew Xiao Hei, the youngest of her father’s subordinates. Similar in age to Xue Zhao, he also had a youthful baby face, looking like a naughty young lad from someone’s family. Every time she saw Xiao Hei, he reminded her of Xue Zhao, and seeing Xiao Hei lying there motionless, Jiang Li felt a deep, wrenching pain in her heart.
The people by her side, she had lost far too many of them.
"We must take them out immediately, go get a doctor, he can’t die," Jiang Li said, deciding quickly. To Ye Mingyu she said, "Uncle Mingyu, please help carry Xiao Hei, I’ll support the Gu Da brothers, and let’s leave this place as soon as we can. Once the people from outside come, we will take them to a secret room and find a doctor for Xiao Hei, we can’t delay any longer."
"But how do we get out?" He Jun couldn’t help but ask, "Though we’ve been in the mining tunnels for several months, all the paths in the tunnels are interconnected; we eat and live in the tunnels and have never walked outside of them."
"Don’t worry," Jiang Li said, "I know the way."
"How do you know how to..." Before he could ask, Jiang Li was already helping Ye Mingyu to carry Xiao Hei. He Jun had no choice but to swallow his doubts and follow Jiang Li.
