Bab 160: The Existence of the Mountainside

Among the valleys where Mount Liucui's iron mine was located, it was hard for even weeds to grow in the trodden and barren landscape.

After travelling for a short distance inside, there were a few wooden houses without any wooden fences around them.

Most of the prisoners here were aboriginals who would be released earlier after working in the mine for a few years. No one usually to escape, and the guards were not strict either.

Ren Baqian had already been here for two days. He had been using a cloth tied as a mask on his face and wandered everywhere.

There was too much dust in the valley; it was blown in from the mine. After waking up from a night's sleep, one would always discover that the surrounding was grey.

The iron ore here was of average quality, but easy to mine and was the highest producing mine in Dayao, although it was not much when compared with the mines on Earth.
