2377 Chapter 2377

The old man was very thin, but his eyes were calm. He did not eat like the others, but instead, he seemed to be strolling leisurely.

Yun chujiu looked at the old man and felt that he looked very familiar. She seemed to have seen him somewhere before, but how could she have seen him before?

Just as Yun Chujiu was thinking about it, the old man raised his head and looked at Yun chujiu as if he had sensed something. Then, the mantou in his hand fell to the ground.

In just a moment, the old man picked up the steamed bun and ate it naturally, as if it was just an accident.

However, Yun chujiu caught the surprised look in the old man’s eyes. Did he know me?

Yun Chujiu’s mind was a mess, but before she could think of anything, the miners had finished their meal. Yun chujiu had to leave with the people from the canteen.

Not far away, she heard someone cursing, “You Old Thing! Everyone else has finished eating, but you eat the slowest! Your work is useless, what is the meaning of living like this? !”

Yun chujiu turned her head and saw a guard throwing a whip at the old man. The strong man protected the old man in front of him and took the whip head-on.

The Brawny man turned his head and glared at the guard. The guard was scared and took a few steps back. He cursed a few times and then turned to leave.

Yun chujiu rolled her eyes and caught up with the people in the canteen, she said with a smile, “Is there something wrong with that Brawny Man’s brain? Why would he take the whip for that old man? could he be the son of that old man?”

People loved to gossip regardless of their identity, and the people in the canteen were no exception, one of them said, “That strong man seems to be called the old man’s benefactor. I guess the old man has given him favors in the past!”! “Let me tell you, the rest of the people in this mine were all caught and brought in. That old man and that strong man actually requested to be brought in by themselves. Do you think they are sick?”

“What the hell? They requested to be brought in by themselves? Are they stupid?”Yun Chujiu cooperated and revealed a surprised expression.

The person who spoke immediately felt extremely satisfied, he lowered his voice and said, “This is absolutely true! I heard from the guards that the old man and the strong man actually went to the entrance of the mine to beg for food. Naturally, they were brought in.”

Yun Chujiu agreed with a few words. She thought that the old man and the strong man were the ones who requested to be brought in. She thought that they were crying and shouting to be miners!

However, it was also true. If that was the case, the people in the mine would suspect that the two of them had some ulterior motive.

“Uncle, the three of us were caught because we broke into the back of the mountain. Why were you caught?”Yun chujiu asked in a low voice.

“Sigh! Don’t mention it! I really agree with the old saying, ‘when the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond will be affected.’I was originally a guard of the Lu family. The Lu family was a third-class family. Because of some things, they offended the fan family. In the end, they were wiped out. We guards were captured and brought here to be miners.”

“That’s really unfortunate! What about the rest?”

“Most of them were guards of the family that was wiped out by the fan family. There were also some servants of the fan family who made mistakes. There were also some who offended the fan family.”

“What about your original masters?”Yun chujiu continued to ask curiously.

That person smiled bitterly, “Little girl, you are really naive. Those old masters were naturally killed! Otherwise, how could they be at ease with us guards?”
