tick... tick... tick...
From the initial crispness like pearls falling on a jade plate to the softness that blends water and milk, how long has this tick-tock movement lasted
Is it two hours? Or three hours
Although every quarter of an hour, someone would come down with a lantern to check, but Manager Wu couldn't remember exactly how many times that person had come down.
Because as long as he recalled these details, he felt as if his head had been hit by a sap, with numbness, soreness, and a trace of unforgettable itching, which made him wish he could roar and split his head apart, which was very useful. Scratch your hand!
Yet he couldn't do anything.
Not to mention that the limbs were tightly bound, and even the tongue in the mouth was pressed against the jaw by a flat copper tube like a spoon.
Thinking of this copper pipe, Manager Wu's short-haired and stuffy chest began to churn again.
This time, he couldn't care less about his wild thoughts, and was busy concentrating on suppressing the nausea that was turning the river and the sea - because the previous experience has proved that the result of spitting out will only be self-inflicted!
After finally suppressing the feeling of vomiting, Manager Wu regained his free time and thought about his current situation.
Are you about to die
Numbness in the limbs, chest tightness, shortness of breath, nausea and retching, a splitting headache—even the only functioning ear was humming frantically.
All of this made Manager Wu extremely convinced that his death was approaching, and the sound of blood dripping from behind was the death knell that urged him to go to hell step by step.
click... click...
At this moment, a small sound seemed to come from a far away place. Immediately afterwards, a dim bright color came into Manager Wu's eyes.
Is it time to visit again
How many times is this
Eighth, ninth, or tenth time
Shopkeeper Wu really couldn't remember, but he had a feeling in his heart that this might be the last time he saw the light in his life!
So no matter how dizzy he was, he still desperately opened his eyes and stared greedily at the dim yellow light.
"If you want to live, just speak."
It was not until a man's voice came into his ears from a distance that he suddenly realized that the person who came was already in front of him.
If you want to live, just speak!
If you want to live, just speak...
If you want to live...
if…
That person should have only said one word, but Manager Wu's mind was full of 'echoes'!
What followed was a violent conflict between the desire for survival and the will to believe.
This kind of conflict is not the first time, and the shopkeeper Wu has also found a way to resist. He desperately recalled the scene where his parents and family were slaughtered by the official army, recalled the grace of life of the Holy Church, recalled...
However, the desire to survive this time is much stronger than before!
Coupled with the sharp pain in his head, those long-term memories were shattered to pieces, so that he could hardly bear it, and wanted to obey the fear in his heart, wagging his tail like a wild dog for pity.
In desperation, shopkeeper Wu had to sacrifice the killer in his heart again.
Juan'er didn't give in to these bastards. As a dignified man, can't she compare to a weak girl like her? !
Do not!
no way!
Dad is a man...
"He... hehe..."
Just as Shopkeeper Wu was desperately suppressing his desire to survive, an indistinct moan suddenly entered his ears.
It was followed by a surprised voice: "Why, you want to confess?!"
Did he groan unintentionally? !
This was the first thought that came to Manager Wu's trance, but then he found out that it was not the case, because in addition to the vague voice, there were more sounds of the chains shaking.
When he first tried to break free, Manager Wu had heard this kind of movement many times—but the problem was that he was not struggling at all!
Is that Xu Juan? !
Could it be that she... actually wanted to betray the brothers and sisters of the Holy Religion? !
"Okay, I'll take you out to stop the bleeding."
The surprised voice sounded again, making Manager Wu instantly confirm his guess, and then a monstrous anger rose from his chest.
He didn't even know why he was angry, and all he could think about was a question: How dare you betray the holy religion? !
So he no longer had any scruples, and he whimpered and struggled excitedly. He wished he could chew the copper bit in his mouth and swallow it, even if his intestines would be rotten because of it, as long as he could question Xu Shi face to face, he would be fine. It's a death without regrets!
Who knew that the movement behind him suddenly became violent. It seemed that Xu Shi was afraid that the movement of his struggle would cover up his begging for mercy.
This bitch, this damn bitch!
Shopkeeper Wu roared in the bottom of his heart, and suddenly there was a short blow on the back of his head, and his originally somewhat vague consciousness came to an abrupt end...
In the dark, I don't know how long it took.
In a trance, Manager Wu felt that some warm liquid slipped down along the tongue coating and soaked the dry throat.
He subconsciously swallowed twice, but his teeth were clenched on something hard.
This should be the chews that the dog thieves of the Dragon Guard put on themselves.
However, the copper tube pressing the tongue has been pulled away.
and many more!
Xu Juan seems to have...
Shopkeeper Wu suddenly opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a dazzling light.
He narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and saw the person holding the lamp hurriedly stepped back half a step. Although it didn't look very real, the unicorn apron wrapped around his fair and well-proportioned figure was the one who asked the shopkeeper Wu. Instantly confirmed her identity.
"Juaner..."
Shopkeeper Wu was dry and vague, spit out these two words, and saw that Mrs. Xu seemed to be frightened, and turned her head and ran towards the door.
"Juan'er!"
Manager Wu tried his best to shout again, and Mrs. Xu finally stopped, but instead of turning around, she turned her back to her husband, and spit out three words: "Yes... I'm sorry."
Before he finished speaking, the man had already escaped.
well!
Shopkeeper Wu, who had fallen back into the darkness, couldn't help but sighed up to the sky, but his initial anger was gone, and all that was left was a sense of despair and a sense of relief - in such a situation, he could hardly bear the desire to confess, not to mention that his wife was weak. Quality girl flow
That's it, that's it!
The big deal is that she martyrs herself and pays back some karma for her.
Just thinking about it like this, I saw that the curtain was lifted, and someone came in with a lantern. The head of a burly like an iron tower, was the famous 'Qingtian Shenduan' Master Sun.
But he said that after Sun Shaozong entered the door, he hooked over a bench with his toes, sat down in front of the bed with a golden sword, and asked with a smile, "Manager Wu, Madam Zun has already chosen to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, but I don't know what you are thinking now."
"Pooh!"
The left and right wives have already betrayed the Holy Religion, and no matter how tight-lipped they are, it won’t help. Shopkeeper Wu has no scruples in his heart, and immediately scolded: "You thief and bird, don't be proud, Lao Tzu is dead without a place to be buried. I won't recognize a thief as my father!"
"Now this puppet dynasty is worried about internal and external troubles. I can't say when you will become a prisoner of my holy religion. At that time, Lao Tzu will be in the underworld, waiting to see how you can't survive or die!"
Hearing that he was still so stubborn at such a time, the two dragon guards who came in couldn't help but look angry.
However, Sun Shaozong did not change his smile, shook his head slightly and said, "Manager Wu, since Madam Zun has already agreed to confess, what's the point of you rejecting people thousands of miles away?"
"Humph!"
Shopkeeper Wu sneered and said, "If that's the case, why do you need to ask me again?!"
These words blurted out, and then some doubts flashed in his chaotic mind - since Xu Juan has already agreed to confess, what is this eagle dog surnamed Sun doing to interrogate him
Hearing Sun Shaozong say: "Of course it is to check the omissions, to confirm the authenticity of the confession - although Mrs. Zun may not dare to make up random things, it is natural to grasp such things as the better.
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Shopkeeper Wu grinned, revealing the bronze mouth ball full of saliva, and asked horribly, "Do you think Lao Tzu will be obediently at your mercy?"
"Tsk."
Sun Shaozong smacked his lips, changed his sitting posture lazily, shook his head and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to make a decision. At least I should consider the current situation first."
situation
What is your current situation
Shopkeeper Wu sneered in his heart, and tried his best to tilt his head to the inside to show that he did not want to hear Sun Shaozong's next nonsense, and by the way, he studied the possibility of suicide by hitting the wall.
"first."
But no matter whether he cooperated or not, Sun Shaozong's plain voice still clearly entered his ears: "Whether you choose to confess and be lenient, or resist and be strict, the White Lotus Sect will get the news that you have betrayed - even if they don't believe it at first. , as long as Mrs. Zun participates in several operations of our Beizhen Fusi, this matter will be settled."
"Shameless! You damn..."
Shopkeeper Wu turned his head suddenly, and was about to curse, but a copper pipe was forced into the mouth of the ball, firmly fixing his tongue on his chin.
"Anyway."
Sun Shaozong's voice was still the same, as if the copper pipe was not stuffed by him himself: "You have betrayed the name of this apostate, every Bailian sect who learns about it will know it. I despise you very much; everyone who is involved with you will be retaliated by the White Lotus Sect."
"certainly."
There was a smile on Sun Shaozong's face: "If you are willing to give up the dark to the light, and you can make enough credit, it's not that we can't come forward and help you protect your relatives and friends."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the crunch of the wooden bed, the rattling of the iron chains, and even the mouth ball, which was bitten by Shopkeeper Wu.
Sun Shaozong winked, and the dragon guard beside him immediately stepped forward and pulled the copper pipe out of the mouth ball.
"Pooh!"
I heard Shopkeeper Wu spat desperately and roared: "I've been killed by you eagle and dog grandsons as early as seventeen years ago..."
The brass pipe returned, and the roaring stopped abruptly.
"cough!"
Having made such an oolong, even with Sun Shaozong's palace, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He cleared his throat before continuing, "The more this is the case, the more treasure Manager Wu should cherish the only remaining family members around him."
"Besides, your parents are under Jiuquan, and they don't necessarily want you to die in vain, and you have to bear a lot of infamy."
Hearing the words 'full of infamy', Manager Wu struggled fiercely again, but Sun Shaozong didn't give him a chance to speak this time, and continued: "Actually, think about it another way, if you give up the secret and make a contribution, you will get the imperial court in the future. The reward, and the return of Tongxian and his wife to their hometown in fine clothes, is not a consolation to the ancestors of the Wu family."
All right.
This set of rhetoric, even Sun Shaozong himself felt a little far-fetched - but there is no way, who would have thought that this shopkeeper Wu is a bitter and hated
You have to find something to talk about first to get this thing right.
The next thing is what Sun Shaozong originally wanted to say to him.
"I know, you might be thinking about dying, but can you really die this time?"
"Don't talk about others, let's talk about Madam Zun first."
"I, Yang Baihu, said that even in the face of the threat of insulting Mrs. Zun, you would grit your teeth and refuse to say a word - but what if Mrs. Zun voluntarily sacrificed herself, or said half-assistance?"
Shopkeeper Wu's struggles became fierce again, so much so that Sun Shaozong had to order someone to suppress him, and then he continued: "You probably want to refute me, thinking that Madam Zun will never be so shameless, right?"
"But don't forget, she is not the same as before. In order to survive, she would not hesitate to betray her comrades and your King Maitreya..."
Sun Shaozong leaned forward slightly, staring directly at the bloodshot eyes of Shopkeeper Wu: "Even at the risk of betraying your husband!"
He paused for a while, until he saw a trace of panic in the anger of Manager Wu, and then Sun Shaozong sat back calmly and continued to say in a flat tone: "After going through this, how can you guarantee that she Wouldn't you sell your body in order to continue living?"
"A woman from the White Lotus Sect, without the protection of a man, has a bit of beauty..."|
"You should also know that the people in the Beizhen Fusi are not all pure-hearted gentlemen. Possessing a widow of Bailian who betrayed the party may be a vent for them, or a adjustment, or a revenge. "
"The purpose is not important, the important thing is that they don't have much scruples because of Madam Zun's background and weakness."
"And in the face of this ensuing persecution, Madam Zun would either rather die, or give in as she did today, and sell her body half-assistance."
"Given her choice today, I think the latter is more likely—what do you think?"
"Of course, she will regret it, cry, and even read your name silently under different men."
"With the passage of time, she may get used to taking the initiative to exchange her body for something, or she may have been half-push and half-off."
"Until one day, she will come to your grave with a big belly, light a candle and pray, saying that after the child is born, she will let him follow your surname Wu."
"How is it? Do you feel very moved? Do you feel that she still remembers you deep down in her heart?"
"Haha, but the reason why the child has the surname Wu is probably because even Madam Zun herself doesn't know who the child is!"
Having said that, Sun Shaozong finally stopped, and then winked at the Longjing Guard School next to him.
"You bastard, donkey into dog..."
The moment the copper pipe was pulled out, countless swear words spewed out of Shopkeeper Wu's mouth, and there was even scarlet blood in the spittle.
However, Sun Shaozong remained indifferent, until the shopkeeper Wu didn't catch his breath, he replied with a smile: "Come on, continue to scold, until the scolding is happy - then, think about it again, what is it? If you want to return home with the honored wife, it is still meaningless to die!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't look at Shopkeeper Wu again, got up and walked out the door.
I have a cold, get it out early, and then go to bed. . . Thanks to the book friends'success or failure of the world, plateau8283, the bright moon also hurt people's reward.
