Xu Lian overestimated his own endurance. He couldn't sit, lie down, or stand in the cell. He could only walk around in annoyance.
As the saying goes, "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality." He used to live in an old earthen house on the old street of Luzhu Town with Li Xiya and Wang Cuiyun, and he didn't think it was a big deal. But now he has been accustomed to a pampered life, with wine and meat during the day and a fragrant wife and beautiful concubines at night. Suddenly he came to this stinking dungeon. Who can bear it
"Be patient, be patient. Didn't Mr. Lin just say that he would rescue you in a few days?"
Qin Liu's belly was bulging with food. He lay in the haystack in the corner, picking his teeth with a piece of grass, his face full of enjoyment.
Xu Lian came to the cell door, took a deep breath, walked back and slowly sat down against the wall.
He found that his affluent life had corrupted his mind and he couldn't even stand this little bit of hardship. This was not a good sign.
In a dirty cell, cultivating one's character or regaining the cautious and sober original intention when one first came into this world is the way to survive in this strange and chaotic world.
Qin Liu looked at him strangely, not understanding why he suddenly became so quiet, like a rock, blending into the environment of the dungeon.
The next day.
Xu Lian originally intended to cause trouble and postponed the plan to attract the county magistrate. He felt that he should stay in the dungeon for a few more days to polish his impetuous mood.
noon.
Xiaoyu came with a food box. It was obvious that Lin Chengyu had bribed the jailer to deliver the food.
Xu Lian did not reject other people's kindness. He just locked himself up here to train himself. He did not deliberately eat the food in the cell to torture himself, because that would be a bit crazy.
Qin Liu followed suit and ate happily, but suddenly felt a little melancholy, "You've spoiled my taste. What should I do? After you leave, I have to get used to the food in the cell again."
Xu Lian patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. You've already adapted to it once. With experience, it won't be difficult to adapt again."
Is this human language... Tan Liu's mouth twitched as he said, "What I mean is, when you go out, can you take me out with you?"
Xu Lian said, "Okay."
Qin Liu was stunned and was ready to beg... He didn't expect Xu Lian to be so straightforward, which made him feel helpless.
He was a little bit incredulous. "We don't know each other. We just lived in the same cell for one day, and you are willing to rescue me?"
"For me, it's a piece of cake, so why not?"
When Xu Lian showed the purple jade card, he wanted to take someone out with him, and it was just a matter of one sentence, "You just dug up some ancestral graves of wealthy families, and you didn't do anything against the law, right?"
Xiaoyu's eyes widened. Isn't it against the will of heaven to dig up someone's ancestral grave
"..." Qin Liu thought for a moment and said, "I don't like others to owe me, nor do I like to owe others. If you take me out, I will repay you."
"All right."
Xu Lian didn't care. A tomb robber only wanted to get some valuable burial objects, but he had no need for worldly money now.
Xiaoyu couldn't stay here for long, so she cleaned up the dishes and left.
Before leaving, Qin Liu praised her, saying that the girl was very hardworking and whoever married her in the future would be blessed, which made her blush.
On the third day, Xu Lian did not make trouble.
On the fourth day, Xu Lian still did not cause trouble.
On the fifth day, Xu Lian felt that his impetuous spirit had worn away. When he was about to make trouble, Gu Yanming, the young master of the yamen, arrived.
"I heard from Lin Chengyu that you are a guest staying at his house, not a servant. I was a little suspicious. How could a servant dare to stop my carriage?"
Gu Yanming asked the jailer to move a chair and sat at the door of the cell. He held a young girl in his arms, playing with her while talking to Xu Lian. Behind Gu Yanming stood a row of strong guards.
Xu Lian glanced at the girl calmly and recognized that she was not the one in the carriage a few days ago. "That's right, I have never been a servant."
Gu Yanming sneered, "That day on the street, when the little maid said you were a servant, I was furious. How dare a servant offend me, a noble lord? After I learned that you were not a servant, I was half relieved.
However, when I heard that the maid from the Lin family brought you meals every day and that you were eating and drinking delicious food, I got angry again.
Because my father and Lin Chengyu's father had a good relationship, I had promised Lin Chengyu not to kill you, but Lin Chengyu forgot to give me face and let you live so comfortably in the cell. "
Xu Lian asked, "So?"
Gu Yanming said in a cold voice, "So I changed my mind!"
After saying that, he waved his hand.
The jailer looked at Xu Lian with pity and unlocked the door with his key.
The strong guards were rubbing their hands, obviously, they were going to go into the cell to deal with Xu Lian.
Qin Liu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he hid in a corner.
"No need to bother."
Xu Lian glanced at the jailer who was unlocking the cell. He grabbed the iron bars of the cell with both hands and exerted a little force. The iron bars were broken apart like noodles, and he walked out.
The jailer was stunned, and the bunch of keys in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
Qin Liu, who was hiding in the corner, was also stunned, his eyes widened as big as copper bells.
Gu Yanming, who was sitting on the chair, changed his expression drastically. He pushed the girl in his arms away, stood up and walked away.
The strong guards were also shocked. An iron railing as thick as an arm could be broken open so easily. He must be at least in the tendon training stage. The strength of this person was beyond their expectations.
Xu Lian moved!
And then, nothing happened.
Everyone only felt a flash before their eyes, and with the sound of "bang, bang, bang", these strong guards were all knocked away like sandbags, falling to the ground in a mess, rolling over and over in pain, unable to get up!
Gu Yanming froze in place with a pale face. Seeing that the situation was not good, he had already planned to escape, but he didn't expect the battle to end so soon!
Xu Lian raised his hand and slapped.
Gu Yanming subconsciously wanted to dodge, but with a "bang", a huge force suddenly came to his face, and his whole body flew out like straw, hit the wall of the dungeon, and fell down!
A deep slap mark appeared on his face. He lay on the ground coughing up blood from his mouth and nose, and several bloody teeth fell out of his mouth!
"That day on the street, you saw that I was dressed simply and guessed that my family was not well off. You said that it was not easy for my parents to scrape together money to send me to a martial arts school to learn martial arts, and told me to learn to cherish. Since you understand this principle, why don't you learn to cherish yourself?"
Xu Lian pulled the chair over, sat on it, and stepped on Gu Yanming's face like educating a child. "From what you said, you actually understand the principles of being a human being. You just can't control yourself, right?"
The girl brought by Gu Yanming was frightened and fainted. There was a puddle of water under her body. It was obvious what it was.
The guards rolled over and over on the ground in agony, not daring to move, as if they had fainted.
The jailer in charge of unlocking the door didn't dare to move at all. His face was pale and he was trembling all over. He stood next to Xu Lian's chair. People who didn't know him would have thought he was Xu Lian's servant... but the big word "Prison" on the chest of his clothes was a little dazzling.
The other jailers were even more scared and ran away.
Qin Liu looked at Xu Lian's actions in horror. He was sweating all over. When the county magistrate came, would he be implicated by Xu Lian and be executed together with him? Thinking of this, he quickly lay down and buried himself with hay.
