Chapter 1740: Ke Zhouqiu (2)
There were exclamations from all around.
Yu Guanhai fell off his horse, twitching all over and foaming at the mouth.
Di Wu did not hesitate, rushed forward, threw himself on Yu Guanhai, and bit his ear.
Yu Guanhai couldn't move, but he tore off his right ear, and blood suddenly gushed out!
"Ah!"
This man was showing off his power a moment ago, but now he screamed like a pig.
“Bah!”
Di Wu spat out a bloody ear and opened his mouth to bite him again. Unexpectedly, a huge force came from behind him, but an officer and soldier kicked him in the back. Back, kicked him out.
After all, he was only an eight-year-old child, but the officers and soldiers were well-trained. This kick was so powerful and heavy that they almost kicked him to death.
Di Wu flew several feet away and lay on the ground unable to move. All his muscles and bones were scattered, but instead of crying out in pain, he started laughing.
He had known that Yu Guanhai would never let anyone go.
The seven-step poem is just to humiliate the Di family. In this case, it is better to fight to the death!
It is a coincidence that when he went to the city with his father, he met a knight. The knight liked him very much when he saw that he was smart, so he gave him this wooden box as a self-defense. Use.
The silver needle in the wooden box was smeared with poison. According to the knight, the poisoned person would not survive for three days.
Di Wu got the mechanical wooden box and liked it very much. He never left it every day. Unexpectedly, one day, this small wooden box with a mechanism would become a weapon of revenge for their Di family!
"Father, mother, the child is unfilial and cannot save you. I can only drag this beast to be buried with him!"
Di Wu glanced at his parents in the distance for the last time. The eyes of the family of three were at this moment Gathering, I don’t know how much sadness it contains Cold, sad and desperate
The next moment, pain hit, Di Wu's consciousness gradually blurred
The surrounding scenery changed, light and darkness alternated, and when the picture appeared again, it was in In a dark prison.
A boy covered in blood was lying on his back among a pile of straw.
He seemed to have lost his breath and lay there motionless.
“Squeak!”
With a rustling sound, a mouse came out of his cuff.
The mouse looked around for a moment, then ran to the edge of the cell.
Perhaps because the food in the prison was so poor, even this rat was so skinny that it easily slipped out of the gap between the iron bars.
“Pa!”
Not long after the mouse got out of the iron bars, a big rough hand suddenly stretched out from the cell next door and knocked the mouse unconscious on the ground.
"Haha! We have something good to eat today!"
A laugh came from the next cell, but the laughter was a little hoarse.
I saw a rugged man with dark skin and a scar on his chest. He was grabbing a mouse with a salivating expression.
"There are actually rats to eat! Long Laosan, you are going to eat meat today!" An envious voice came from the cell next to him.
"Haha, this good thing didn't get my turn. The kid next door was unconscious for a day and a night, and the rat didn't even react when it passed by him. It's an advantage for me!" Long Laosan said with a smile.
"Long Laosan, if you have something good to eat, don't forget your brothers." The man from before said hurriedly.
Long Laosan glanced at him sideways and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Shameless Li, I will leave you two rat legs later."
"Oh, thank you big brother!" Shameless Li said happily.
Long Laosan didn’t say much. He tore the mouse’s belly open and began to eat its hair and drink its blood.
"Refreshing, it's this smell of meat that I haven't tasted for a long time."
In the dark cell, the sound of chewing came from the dark cell.
Baby Li drooled when he saw it, and the hunger in his belly was unbearable, so he found a topic to chat with Long Laosan.
"The boy in the cell next door, I heard he is the only son of the Di family in the town?"
"Yes." Long Laosan responded vaguely.
"As far as I know, the Di family is also a wealthy and scholarly family. How did they end up in such a bad situation?"
"I have offended someone."
Long Laosan said while swallowing the rat meat: "Do you know Yu Guanhai? He I don’t know how much thought he put into marrying the daughter of the magistrate. Now it’s rain and wind! This man must retaliate. The Di family has offended him before, but he is not willing to let it go. This is a crime. Did the Di Mansion be confiscated and destroyed? ”
"Alas"
When Lapi Li heard this, he sighed and said: "If God doesn't open his eyes, good people will not live long! I have seen that Di Wen. Although he was a rich man, he was willing to help the poor. Back then, I was desperate and almost starved to death, but I still survived today by relying on a meal he gave me. On the other hand, I heard that Yu Guanhai had been a bully since he was a child, bullying men and women. He really fulfilled the old saying: Xiu. There are no corpses in the bridge, but the gold belt is killing people and setting fire!"
Long Laosan sneered and said, "When will God open his eyes? Why are you being locked up here? That's what the superiors told the people below. Otherwise, wouldn't the world be in chaos? He nodded understandingly.
Long Laosan had already finished chewing the rat and threw two rat legs over. Shameless Li was already hungry, so he took the rat legs and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them.
"This child has a hard life. He was born in a wealthy family, read poetry and books, and was full of ambitions. It was a time when hope was unlimited. Who knew that everything turned upside down in one day, from a rich young man to a wealthy young man? A prisoner under the command, I heard that his father couldn't bear it Humiliated, he committed suicide in prison, and his mother could not bear the torture and died suddenly the day before yesterday. Now only this lonely and miserable child is left."
"At any rate, he has lived a few years. Have a good year." Lai Pi Li mumbled while chewing the rat leg.
“You don’t understand.”
Long Laosan shook his head and said: “If he is like us, born in a poor family since he was a child, and has not eaten enough, even if It won’t be too painful to die one day. The saddest thing is that after a few years of prosperity, you suddenly fall into the bottom, your family is ruined, and your future is ruined. This is the most painful!”
"Oh"
Slappy Li nodded perfunctorily.
He didn't quite understand what Long Laosan said. The two rat legs didn't fill his stomach, but instead aroused deeper hunger.
His eyes were darting around. If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't chew on the iron bars, he might have eaten them too.
At this moment, there was a "squeak" in the distance, and the rusty cell door was pushed open from the outside.
A ray of light shone in.
Immediately afterwards, several middle-aged men in official uniforms and a group of jailers walked into the prison.
The leader frowned, seeming to be disgusted with this dark and messy environment.
They walked to the middle of the prison, and one of them took out a document from his sleeve and read: "The new emperor has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world! Anyone in prison can be freed unless he is a treacherous person. If the crime is serious, he will be sent to serve outside the customs, build the Great Wall, and build canals, and never return. The emperor's kindness is so great, please remember it!"
After the man finished reading the document, everyone in the prison cheered. .
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty!" "The Emperor's grace is so great!"
"Long live my Emperor!"
In the midst of praises and praises, the man ordered the jailer to open the door. He opened the cell door and released more than ten prisoners in this prison.
These people lined up to go out, and there were officials behind them to judge their sins. Whether they would regain their freedom or be exiled outside the customs was all at the official's discretion.
"Hey, why is there still one person?"
After everyone left, the man in official uniform glanced around and quickly spotted the boy lying on the ground.
Immediately, a jailer came forward and said: "Reporting to your lord, this man is Di Wen's only son. Di Wen committed the crime of treason. According to the law of our court, everyone should be beheaded. The original beheading was It's noon tomorrow, but his parents have died in prison, and only the son of a traitor is left."
"Well..."
The man in official uniform nodded slightly.
He vaguely remembered that there was such a prisoner, and someone from above had told him that he must be beheaded in public. But now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is not easy to kill someone at this time...
"Otherwise...it is better to exile him outside the pass. It is bitter cold and the environment is dangerous. He is only eight years old. Children, you won’t last long if you go there, sooner or later you will be dead.”
Thinking of this, the man in official uniform cleared his mind. In his voice, he said calmly: "Since he is guilty of treason, he should be executed. Although the emperor's grace is great and the world is amnesty, he cannot be acquitted. He should be exiled outside the customs."
"Yes."< br>
Of course the guards on the left and right didn't think so much. After receiving the order, someone brought cold water, turned Di Wu over and poured it on his face.
It was the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, and when the basin of cold water was poured down, Di Wu shivered and woke up from a coma...
…………
A rugged mountain road, There is no wind or snow, it is lonely and bitterly cold, the roadside is full of bare branches, and occasionally a crow crows, like a death knell for passers-by.
A few figures were struggling to move forward on the mountain road.
Most of these people were in ragged clothes, with shackles on their bodies and anklets on their feet. They looked like prisoners exiled outside the customs.
At the end of the team are two officers and soldiers, with swords at their waists and strong skills.
"Brother Wang, after climbing over this mountain, we will reach Yuxia Pass. After passing Yuxia Pass, we will reach the wilderness. Our mission will be completed when we get there." One of the officers and soldiers said.
After hearing this, the other person chuckled: "Brother Li, you are still familiar with this road. I am a new recruit, and I will have to hang out with you in the future."
Before he finished speaking, it was already He took off a wine gourd from his waist and handed it to the other party, "Come on, brother, drink!"
The officer and soldier who spoke before was named Li Zhong. Upon seeing this, he grinned and took the wine gourd unceremoniously. , and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth.
"Good wine!"
Li Zhong patted the latter's shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Meng, if you follow me, I will never let you suffer in the future!"
"Thank you very much. Brother!" Wang Meng smiled.
"Wine, it's good wine..." Li Zhong shook the wine gourd and sighed: "It's a pity that there is wine but no vegetables. In the past two months, we have eaten dry food every day. They are all going to fade away!”
Wang Meng frowned after hearing this, “We are already at the northwest border here, the climate is bitterly cold, and there are no people around. I can’t even catch any game, brother. There is no way.”
While they were talking, there was a sudden commotion ahead.
The two stopped talking and looked forward. They saw several men surrounding a child. The child was twitching all over and his eyes turned white.
“What’s going on?”
Wang Meng rushed over.
"Sir, this child is dying. You see his whole body is twitching. I'm afraid he won't survive today." Someone among the prisoners said.
Another person also said: "Sir, this child is too young. He has been wearing handcuffs and anklets for a long time, and the blood circulation in his body is not smooth. Moreover, he has only eaten a few mouthfuls of dry food in the past few days, and his energy and blood are seriously depleted. He will not be able to overcome this problem if he continues like this. Mountain."
......
After hearing the chatter from the people around him, Wang Meng looked down and found that the place where the child was tied by handcuffs and anklets was indeed covered in bruises.
The man from before spoke again: "Sir, why don't you untie his handcuffs and anklets first to activate the menstrual blood? He is only an eight-year-old child anyway, how can he still escape from the military master? ?"
After hearing this, Wang Meng looked hesitant, but Li Zhong came over at this time and said calmly: "Untie him."
"But."
"It's nothing but, we are rewarding people based on their heads. Now that Yuxia Pass is so close, we can't let him die on the road. When we get to Yuxia Pass, we will count the number of people." When the time comes he Life or death has nothing to do with us."
After hearing this, Wang Meng suddenly said: "Brother is still thoughtful!"
With that said, he took out the key and handed over the child. All the handcuffs and anklets were taken off.
A prisoner next to him who knew a little bit about the secrets immediately stepped forward and gave the child a massage. The child's complexion improved slightly and he slowly woke up from a coma.
Wang Meng and Li Zhong looked down at the child, as if they were looking at an animal, without any mercy.
"I remember your name is Di Wu?" Wang Meng said coldly.
“It’s good not to cough!” the child said, coughing.
"Looking at how pitiful you are, I will temporarily unshackle you. Don't do any tricks on the way, otherwise your prince's sword will fall and chop you into pieces!" Wang Meng patted the sword on his waist and said, Showing a fierce look.
“I know, I know.” The children chirped repeatedly.
"Hmph! Why don't you get up? You've wasted so much time just because you were alone!" Wang Meng kicked him again.
Di Wu was in pain and struggled to get up from the ground.
Although the others couldn't bear it when they saw this, they didn't dare to speak at this time. After all, this was just a small episode on the way to escort, and everyone had to move on to face that hopeless future.
The team set off again, Di Wu followed the crowd, lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
From an angle that the two officers and soldiers could not see, the cowardice in his eyes had long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of indifference.
When no one was paying attention, he spit out a ball of black stuff from his mouth and fell into the mud on the roadside.
Ps:
Note, Di Wu is Lian Xin. It is written that Lian Xin’s real name is "Le Tianxiang", but because I was careless in naming, I used the name "Tianxiang" many times. In order to distinguish him from Luo Tianxiang, Lian Xin's real name in the previous chapters has been changed to Di Wu.
