285 human lifetimes
Exclamations came and went.
In order to open a place for more than 200 candidates to leave, Cen Xiaoyi was arranged to be located relatively close to the corner of the street, and the chaos here also attracted the attention of the officials who escorted him, and he didn't notice a person coming out of the corner of the alley.
He was holding a shiny axe in his hand, and he had been observing from the side for a long time, when an arrow stepped to Cen Xiaoyi's side, and his axe fell and slashed at his right arm!
Cen Xiaoyi's reaction was actually quite fast - or he had already been prepared to be stabbed in the street, hearing the wind, he quickly dodged to the side, but after all, the other party was calculated with intention or not, the action was surprisingly fast, the force was extremely violent, and he slashed Cen Xiaoyi's shoulder steadily and ruthlessly. Almost instantly, with a "snap", a bare arm fell to the ground, and a moment later, blood spurted wildly, and the blood light almost reflected everyone's eyes!
The escort came back to his senses after a moment of shock, and a man rushed forward to twist the man's arm.
As a result, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he only grabbed an empty sleeve. The man's right arm in the sleeve was also missing, and the official was so weak that he almost fell on his heels.
Instead, the man threw away the axe, stretched out his hand, and helped him.
Then, he took the initiative to kneel on the ground and said flatly: "Don't arrest me, I confess my guilt and prostrate myself." ”
He raised his chin, glanced at Cen Xiaoyi, and showed a sneering smile: "Anyway, the guy who should be finished will be finished with me." ”
The second half of his sentence was barely heard, and it was drowned out in screams that cracked the air.
There was no pain at the moment when his arm was just chopped off, and Cen Xiaoyi didn't even react to what was happening at that moment. But soon, despair swept over him along with pain, and he screamed long and then staccato cries of pain.
A failure is only a setback, and even a crime can be punished. But it's not the same if you lose an arm and become a cripple.
His future has been wiped clean by this axe, and he will never be able to do it again!
"Xu Linchuan!" Xu Wen didn't expect this at all, he was probably the first person in the audience to recognize the identity of that person, and he couldn't suppress his exclamation at this time.
In Cen Xiaoyi's screams, Xu Linchuan raised his head and showed a miserable white and bleak smile at Xu Wen.
Xu Wen's gaze fell on Cen Xiaoyi's empty sleeves, and the description of Dr. Jin that he had heard before appeared in front of him as a real scene.
Cen Xiaoyi's experience today may be sympathetic to anyone Xu Wen, but only he can't.
Zhou Zhicheng's future, Qi Kun's grievances, and even Xu Linchuan's today - he is a person with a bad heart, but he only dares to attack cats, as for today's end?
Xu Wen doesn't think so.
Therefore, he just let out a long breath, walked to Xu Linchuan's side, and looked at the axe.
There was blood on the axe, but the blade was as cold and bright as snow, and it looked like it had been carefully sharpened before coming.
Sharpening an axe is the basic skill of a carpenter, and Xu Linchuan has sharpened his axe from the entrance examination to the hospital examination, not thousands but hundreds. But I'm afraid this time, the mood when he started it was completely different from before......
"Why bother, pay for half of your life for such a thing. He sighed and said.
"What half a lifetime. My arms are gone, my whole life is gone!" Xu Linchuan looked at Cen Xiaoyi and said.
At this time, a servant stepped forward and tried his best to stop the bleeding. But his whole arm was gone, and the blood was gushing out like a river, and he couldn't stop it for a while. Cen Xiaoyi's face quickly turned pale from a large amount of blood loss, and his screams became weaker and weaker.
At this time, a more experienced official finally rushed out of it, and with various means such as acupoint stimulation and sawdust bag blockage, he finally stopped the surging blood, and Cen Xiaoyi's life was not in danger for the time being.
Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether Cen Xiaoyi's life can be saved or not honestly doesn't matter to him, but this has a lot to do with Xu Linchuan's future.
Xu Linchuan is bound to be executed when he kills people on the street, but the level of killing and maiming is definitely different.
"I have a senior brother. Xu Wen said suddenly.
Xu Linchuan was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that this was said to himself, and raised his head.
"He was born in a fifth-level workshop, he is extremely talented, and he has a bright future, and he has a great chance of getting the position of the head of the county test object. Even though it's only a prefectural exam, it's a good start. ”
The bleeding has stopped, but the severe pain is still continuing, and Cen Xiaoyi is still screaming intermittently, and he can't see his usual elegant and light appearance at all. Xu Wen's voice was mixed with the screams, but it was still very clear, and it easily grabbed Xu Linchuan's attention.
On the eve of the exam, he lived in the Ziyi Public Office with several honor students, but in the middle of the night, his finger was cut off. Xu Wen said very calmly, but Xu Linchuan gasped.
At this time, Xu Wen was surrounded by many people, including Jiang Wangfeng's side, and others who followed behind to congratulate him, either true or false.
For a moment, they all felt that the story was a little familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere. Then, they saw Xu Wen's gaze landing, and they all suddenly realized.
On the eve of the exam, the person with the most promising chance of getting the head of the object had a problem, isn't this what happened just now?
"Who did that?" someone next to him couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know. Xu Wen shook his head, "The biggest suspect who was accused at that time was another candidate who was also very promising to get the head of the object, Qi Kun, the true disciple of Yue Mu Xuan. But Qi Kun was devastated by this, withdrew from the exam that year, and took a year off sick. ”
The sound of inhalation was heard from all directions.
这故事听着更耳熟了,出身低级工坊然而很有希望拿到物首的天赋者,出身高级工坊的准物首,在考试前夜被一石二鸟......
"What year did this senior brother of yours take the exam?" someone asked again.
"Two years ago. Xu asked.
Someone immediately figured it out. That's too easy to calculate.
Xu Wen's number is Jiajiu, and he is a substitute candidate for this year's college examination, and before that, there was a head who was born in the same township as him and took the exam a year earlier than him.
Participated in the county exam in the same year as Senior Brother Xu Wen, and won the county head after the two withdrew from the competition - it was Cen Xiaoyi!
This time, if it weren't for Xu Wen and Jiang Wangfeng who rushed back in time and took the exam with great perseverance and won the first place, there would be no doubt that the head of the courtyard would be Cen Xiaoyi's person.
can stand out among so many people, this person is really capable of having ability, but being vicious is also really vicious!
As he spoke, Cen Xiaoyi's screams gradually became smaller, and Xu Wen's voice became clearer.
"My brother is missing a finger and can no longer be a carpenter. It took him a year to figure out what he was going through, and now he manages my uncle's workshop, and he's in good order and showing new abilities. ”
He stepped forward, patted Xu Linchuan on the shoulder, and said, "Your whole life will not - and should not be ruined because of one piece of garbage." ”
