A farming master in Stardew Valley

Chapter 437 Nowhere to Go
Although Joe seemed unable to get up in the short term, Lyon did not relax. However, the most urgent thing was to check on the miner named Jimmy.

"Are you OK?"

Leon asked as he extended his hand towards Jimmy who had fallen to the ground.

"I'm fine, but who are you?" Although Jimmy was relieved at this moment and very grateful to Leon for his help, he was still a little scared when facing the third person who suddenly appeared in the mine.

"Me? I'm just a Kamen Rider passing by." Leon said perfunctorily, and then seeing that Jimmy ignored his hand that wanted to help him up, he grabbed Jimmy's arm and pulled him up forcefully.

"Your companion is in a bad condition. I need you to keep an eye on him. I have other things to deal with. I can't let you leave until I'm done."

Pulling Jimmy up was not to show his kindness, but because Leon needed Jimmy to help him keep an eye on Joe.

Not to mention that Leon is an intruder, which is an illegal invasion. If Jimmy runs away, then only God knows how many people will come down from Pit No. 6 to chase and intercept him.

"You've also noticed the strange changes in your companions, right? Don't you find it abrupt and strange?"

"Do you know the reason?" Leon's question made Jimmy happy. This question touched his heart. If Leon really knew why Joe became like this, it meant that Joe could be saved.

"I know for sure. And that's why I don't dare let you and him leave this place. If he leaves without professional help, he'll only bring the same danger to others as you. So before that, you two must stay here. Once I eliminate the root cause of his condition, I'll find someone to help you restore him to normal."

Leon explained.

"As long as it can save Joe, I'll listen to you." Jimmy immediately nodded and promised.

"Do you have a rope? We need to tie him up first so you can guard him more easily." Leon was very happy with Jimmy's cooperation and continued to ask.

"I don't have it on me, but it's in the rest room. Wait for me." After Jimmy said that, he ran towards the miners' lounge. Although his steps were a little staggering, his attitude was very positive.

Leon looked at the direction Jimmy ran. It was not the passage leading to the outside, but the other side of Pit No. 6. He was sure that Jimmy was really going to find a rope, not to take the opportunity to escape, so he did not interfere.

Soon, Jimmy ran back with a hemp rope as thick as a thumb and handed it to Leon.

"You don't know how to kidnap people?" Leon asked.

"No, and I'm a little hesitant. After all, Joe's current condition is not right, and I'm a little scared." Jimmy is an honest man. He says whatever he thinks. Such a frank attitude makes Leon embarrassed to blame him.

"Forget it, let me do it." Although Leon had no experience in kidnapping people, he had watched countless movies after all. Had he seen pigs run even if he had never eaten pork?
Just copy what they did and you're done.

Leon took the rope and immediately walked to Joe, who was still lying on the ground, holding his stomach and wailing. He first loosened the pickaxe handle that had fallen to the ground and moved it aside to make sure that there were no tools or weapons around Joe. Then he pulled Joe up, wrapped him with the rope dozens of times, and finally tied a knot behind his back.

It is not a tortoise shell bind, but a simple bondage, the kind that wraps the legs to the shoulders with ropes. Although this way of tying looks a bit inhumane, wrapping the person like a cocoon, but with this way of tying, unless it is a monster-level existence, it is basically impossible to break free, highlighting the stability.

"I leave it to you. I have to find the culprit behind all this." After tying up Joe, Leon carried the unlucky guy to Jimmy and placed him in front of Jimmy.

Looking at Joe now, Jimmy breathed a sigh of relief. Joe was still alive. Although he was tied up, he could see that he was still breathing. Although his expression was a little painful, there was no blood at the corners of his mouth, proving that Joe had only suffered some physical pain. This was good news for Jimmy.

Even though this guy wanted to kill him before, Jimmy knew that this was not Joe's will, and Leon's words made Jimmy certain that Joe was still the same Joe, but now he was being manipulated by some evil force.

"Actually, he's tied up like this and can't move anymore. It doesn't matter whether he's being watched or not. I'm very familiar with the mines. If you need me, I can help you look for him."

Seeing that Leon was about to turn around and find the source of all this, Jimmy mustered up the courage to make a suggestion to Leon.

"Forget it, this thing is not something that ordinary people can touch. You'd better stay here, it's safer." Leon shook his head and rejected Jimmy's kindness.
"Then can you guarantee your own safety? If not, we can go find explorers from the Explorers Guild. They are very professional in dealing with such strange things." Jimmy couldn't help but ask Leon after hearing this.

After all, Leon was his savior. After hearing Leon say that this matter was so dangerous, Jimmy couldn't bear to let Leon take the risk.

“I am an explorer.”

After Leon finished speaking to Jimmy, he took out a torch from his backpack and lit it, illuminating the area of ​​30 meters with Leon as the center.

In the light of the fire, Jimmy could see Leon clearly. Although he could only see his back, the tall and straight figure made him feel safe, especially the long sword in his hand that was shining with purple light. This made Jimmy believe that the man who suddenly appeared underground was really an explorer.

At this moment, Leon was wandering in Pit No. 6 with a torch held high. He originally thought that he needed to dig a hole to find that thing this time, but now the situation was obviously not right. Mr. Qi said in the letter that he could complete the task within three days and asked him not to worry.

However, he set out the next day after receiving the letter and still saw the victim. It was obvious that the thing had been dug out. As for where it was exactly, Leon didn't know, but he felt that since he felt disgusted with the people who were affected, he should also have a corresponding perception of the culprit.

But after wandering around Pit No. 6, Lyon didn't notice anything wrong. Under the light of the torch, apart from the raw stones and rock ground, he basically didn't see anything special. Even the mountain walls around the mine were searched by Lyon, but he didn't find any clues.
