The night passed and the day came again. On the first day, it rained outside, and the rain flowed in along the walls, soaking the already rancid cell with dampness. From far and near, scolding, talking, and moaning sound like ghostly creatures.
The guards beat the cell and shouted loudly. After a while, they dragged the most violent prisoner out to be tortured. At some point, another prisoner was brought in.
The wounded in the same room moaned for a while in the afternoon, rolling limply on the straw, with a cry in the moan. You Hongzhuo was in pain and weakness, but he was disturbed by the sound for a long time. He looked up to see the appearance of the injured person, and saw that the man's face was covered with knife marks and his nose was cut off. He was probably in this prison. tortured by prison guards. This is a member of Hungry Ghost, and he may have been a black flag once, but judging from his age, You Hongzhuo estimated that he was only a young man in his twenties.
You Hongzhuo was not yet twenty, so he couldn't express much emotion for the age of the person in front of him. He just stayed in the corner silently, watching the person's suffering and injuries were too severe. The other party would die sooner or later. People don't care about him anymore, these black flag remnants at the moment will inevitably accompany Wang Shitong to ask for beheading after a few days, it is nothing more than the difference between dying sooner and later.
You Hongzhuo still can't figure out how he was caught as a remnant of the black flag, and he can't figure out why the master he saw on the street didn't save him. A chivalrous person will act chivalrous and be righteous, and solve people's difficulties.
He felt like he was about to die.
The young man has not yet been eighteen years old in this world, but in the last six months, he has really tasted too many sweet and sour tastes. The whole family died, fought with others, murdered, was slashed, almost starved to death, and now they are locked up and tortured again. The bumpy road, if you say that you were quite energetic at the beginning, at this time, when you are locked in this cell, you gradually feel a sense of despair in your heart.
Because I couldn't think of how to resist for a while, the emotion of resistance in my heart also faded.
At night, the injured person in the same room was talking nonsense and muttering, and most of them didn't know what they were talking about. In the middle of the night, You Hongzhuo woke up from a nightmare and heard the cry: " It hurts so much... I hurt so much..."
"Father... Mother..." The injured person was crying, "I'm so hurt..."
It turns out that these remnants of the black flag will cry like this, and even cry for their father and mother.
You Hongzhuo thought to himself. The injured man groaned for a long time, and it was unspeakable. Someone in the opposite cell shouted: "Hey, you... You give him a good time! You give him a good time..." It was the man on the opposite side who was calling You Hongzhuo, You Hongzhuo was lying in the dark In the daze, he didn't want to move, but tears rolled down his face involuntarily. It turned out that he couldn't help thinking that this man in his twenties was going to die, but he was only in his teens, so why did he have to die here
After lying like this for a long time, he rolled up from there, leaned towards the injured person, stretched out his hand to pinch the injured person's neck, and reached into the air, he looked at the injuries on the man's face and body, and heard The man cried, "Father, mother...Brother...I don't want to die..." Thinking of himself, the tears suddenly couldn't stop falling. The man in the opposite cell was puzzled: "Hey, you killed him to help him!" You Hongzhuo finally turned back, hiding in the darkness, and replied in a urgency, "I can't do it."
"You ****, look at him like this... If I can go out and beat you to death"
"Something comes and kills me"
You Hongzhuo shouted hysterically.
****************
The sudden attack of the young man suppressed the anger on the other side. The people in the cell are either about to die, or will be executed in a few days. Most of them are desperate. But since You Hongzhuo made it clear that he was not afraid of death, and the other side couldn't really rush over, it would be meaningless to say more.
After another day, the wounded was dying, and only occasionally said nonsense. You Hongzhuo had pity in his heart, dragged his also injured body to fetch some water, and gave him a few sips. Every time at this time, the other party seemed to be much better, and the words he said were clear. He had at least one older brother and parents before, but now he doesn't know if he still has any.
In the evening, the two jailers from yesterday came over, took You Hongzhuo out again, and tortured him. During the torture, the first arrester said quickly, "I'm not afraid to tell you, whoever Kuang has made money, let the brothers take care of you well. Hey, if you have someone out there who is filial, the official can make you feel better."
You Hongzhuo is alone and alone. Where can there be relatives between heaven and earth? There is still some money in Liang'an Inn that Mr. Zhao gave when he left, but it was one thing for him to be sad and tearful last night. Facing these villains, the young man He was still stubborn and didn't open his mouth.
The two arresters beat him to the point of tearing his skin to the point of being covered in blood before throwing him back into the prison. Their torture was also measured. Although the pain was unbearable, they did not cause any major injuries. This was to keep You Hongzhuo awake as much as possible. If they could be tortured more, they naturally knew that You Hongzhuo was framed in by someone. The flag remnants, there may still be some money and property. Although they tortured You Hongzhuo and received money, it was a good thing to get some extra money on top of that.
After being thrown back into the cell, You Hongzhuo had no strength for a while. He lay on the straw for a while, and at some point, he suddenly realized that the seriously injured cellmate next to him was no longer groaning.
He sat up with difficulty, and the person next to him opened his eyes, as if he was looking at him, but those eyes were white and dark, and his expression was vague. It took a long time for him to move slightly, and he whispered: "Why...
"Jurchen... bad guys... dog officials... horse bandits... bullies... army... Tian Hu..." The wounded muttered, as if he was going to curse all the villains in his memory one by one before he was dying. After a while, he said: "Dad... Mother... Don't eat, don't eat Guanyin soil... We don't give food to others, we... "
"Wait until Big Brother beats the Jurchen... Beats the Jurchen..."
"Why do you beat your own people... beat a Jurchen..."
The murmuring sounded high and low, sometimes with a cry. You Hongzhuo was in unspeakable pain at this time, but he just listened indifferently, and the man in the opposite cell stretched out his hand: "You give him a treat, you give him a treat, I beg you, I accept your favor..."
You Hongzhuo did not move, the man said several times, his voice getting higher and higher: "I beg you! You know? Household, when there was a famine, the warehouse was opened to give food to others. Later, he was attacked by horse bandits. He put food in his own house and there was nothing to eat. His parents died from eating Guanyin soil! Raise your hand, I beg you to give him one happy”
You Hongzhuo wanted to reach out, but he didn't know why, but he still couldn't raise his hand. After a while, he opened his mouth and made a hoarse voice: "Haha, you guys are miserable, who hasn't seen anything worse? You are miserable, what about the people you killed, a lot of people didn't provoke you to provoke you... the people of Zezhou"
He chokes a word in his throat. The man on the opposite side was stunned for a while, and was furious: "What did you say? Have you ever seen someone starve to death!"
"I almost starved to death"
"Have you seen what tens of thousands of people don't eat!? They just want to go south"
"If you want to go to the south, you also kill people"
"Then... what else is there to do, people will starve to death alive"
Both sides shouted a few words, and You Hongzhuo just raised the bar: "...If Zezhou is in chaos, who will the people of Zezhou blame?"
"...If you are outside, I will kill you!"
"Haha, come here!"
"Grass your mother! You must not die"
In You Hongzhuo's dry laughter, there were also scolding around him, and after a while, the jailer's suppression was ushered in again. You Hongzhuo wiped away the tears from his face in the dark. Those tears fell into the wound. It was so painful. Those words were not what he really wanted to say. It was just that in such a desperate environment, the malice in his heart was really suppressed. After he finished speaking, he felt that he was really a villain.
The memory later became confused, his body couldn't support the excitement, and after venting, drowsiness came flooding in. Everything in the nightmare, he can also see his parents in the clip, the mother who went crazy after being insulted, the father who was killed by humiliation, he vaguely saw the family of three when he was a child, sometimes the memory was broken, he saw His parents ate the Guanyin soil and died when he was hungry. His mother fed him porridge. While feeding, he said, "Hurry up, eat faster, mother is not hungry, eat well..." The mother's stomach swelled slightly, but In the dream, the terrifying awakening made him realize that the belly was full of mud, and he wanted to shout in his heart, but he couldn't, and the little You Hongzhuo drank the porridge happily.
What kind of world is like this dream? In the fragments of the dream, he also dreamed of those who were kind to him. Several brothers and sisters killed each other in the dream, and blood was everywhere. The silhouettes of Mr. Zhao and his wife flashed by in a flash, and a warm feeling rose up in the confusion. He opened his eyes, not knowing whether he was in a dream or reality, it was still a dazed dim light, The pain on the body is not so much, the vague feeling is the feeling of being wrapped in bandages.
I can't let them all die before they are executed...
It seems that such words came, You Hongzhuo tilted his head slightly, vaguely feeling that he seemed to be in a nightmare.
At the other end of the cell, a figure was sitting on the ground, not like someone I saw in the prison, but it looked a bit like Mr. Zhao. He was wearing a long gown with a small box beside him, sitting there quietly holding the hand of the seriously injured young man.
When the young man was dying, he whispered something in this darkness. You Hongzhuo subconsciously wanted to hear it, but he couldn't hear it clearly. Then Mr. Zhao also said something. Knowing when the voice was gone, Mr. Zhao pressed on the injured person, got up and left, and the injured person also quieted down forever, away from the unspeakable pain...
The prison was noisy and quiet for a while. You Hongzhuo couldn't wake up completely, and finally fell into a deep sleep again. Some words that he seemed to have heard and seemed to have never heard, floated up in the darkness, and sank again, until he woke up. At that time, he almost completely sank into the depths of his consciousness, unable to remember clearly.
You are an admirable, great person like your brother...
I am honored to have been in this world with people like you.

At the gate of Zezhou prison, Ning Yi opened his hand and, like the other doctors, accepted another body search by the jailer. Some prison guards passed by and looked at this scene doubtfully, not understanding why they suddenly had a whim, and wanted to organize a doctor to treat the seriously injured in the prison.
When I walked on the street, it was the darkest moment of the night. At the end of June, there was no moon in the sky. After a while, a figure came quietly and walked side by side with him on the street: "Do you think this place is like Hangzhou?"
"You feel like Hangzhou in a messy place." Ning Yi laughed, the woman named Liu Xigua turned around slightly, her smile was clear, just like her eyes, even after experiencing many things , still pure and firm.
They were walking on the streets of this dark night, and the patrolling watchmen and the army came, but they did not find them. Even on such a night, in the dimly lit city, there are still various forces and attempts agitating, and people make their own arrangements and try to meet the collision. In this seemingly peaceful and infiltrating silence, the time of contact is about to be pushed.
The morning light is faint, and the fire-like day will replace the night again... (.)
