Chapter 28 Punishment

Lei Shaoxuan washed his body, returned to his bed, and slumped on the bed.

Pain, fear, and helplessness hit like a dark night, engulfing Lei Shaoxuan.

Lei Shaoxuan dreamed that he was abandoned in a small boat, adrift on the sea in the dark night, unable to find a way, unable to see the sun, and only a pair of eyes looking at him.

Those were my mother's eyes, full of tenderness, expectation, and love.

"Mom!" Lei Shaoxuan sobbed, sobbed, and fell into a deep sleep.

In the morning, the whining horns and the rousing drums sounded, which was the signal for the death row to get up and practice, and everyone had to get dressed and go out for the morning exercises.

The shouts of sergeants were heard outside the tents, and at the doors of the tents, the prisoners quickly lined up and ran to the school grounds, and there were noisy footsteps everywhere.

calmed his mood, Lei Shaoxuan put on a brand-new prison uniform. What should come will come, and maybe you will be executed today.

I'm probably the shortest-lived death row inmate in the Bitter Sea Wasteland, right? I only survived one night, which was really unlucky. After months of trekking, he traveled thousands of miles to the Northwest Bitter Plains, killed a person, and then was executed.

I don't know if Hu Youde is gone, if he doesn't leave, he will have time to bring the bones back. No, it's better not to let your mother know, so as to save her sadness.

Lei Shaoxuan thought about it, his heart was very calm, and he changed his clothes without hurrying.

"Hurry up. A voice shouted, it was Yelu Qingshi, the Hu man.

All eyes were on the past.

This person was tall and strong, with a beard, thick eyebrows and eyes, and a threatening appearance without anger, and looked around viciously.

"When I woke up this morning, Xu Jun died, from a knife wound. I didn't see how he died, but he was humiliated by outsiders yesterday, and I guess he couldn't figure it out and committed suicide. If you see how he died, tell it, but if you don't say it now, you don't see it. ”

Hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan froze, he didn't know Yelu Qingshi, how could he help him hide and cover? Then he came to his senses, this was not Yelu Qingshi's kindness, but a declaration of his status as the boss, and he wanted to replace Xu Jun! Covering up the cause of Xu Jun's death was a declaration.

Everyone was also stunned, but no one said anything, and acquiesced that Yelu Qingshi replaced Xu Jun.

A group of sergeants who heard the news quickly chained all the people in the camp tent, took them out of the tent, and blocked the tent.

A middle-aged sergeant, holding a saber in his hand, walked over with an angry face, and Lei Shaoxuan heard the sergeant call him Captain Lin.

This person has a thin face, a weathered face, does not smile, and behaves and acts quite capably.

Captain Lin walked back and forth in front of the queue, examined it a few times, and shouted, "How did Xu Jun die?"

The team was silent, and Captain Lin pointed to a prisoner at the head of the line and shouted, "You say." ”

It was an old prisoner, and he hesitated.

"The little one slept very deeply last night, and I really don't know how Boss Xu died. ”

"You say. Captain Lin asked one by one.

Asked about Yelu Qingshi, Yelu Qingshi pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, Xu Jun was humiliated by outsiders yesterday, probably because he couldn't think about ......it."

"Suicide?" Captain Lin sneered, "Suicide will cut both sides of the neck?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Lei Shaoxuan and was secretly frightened.

"Captain, find a pair of bladed iron hooks, the blades are the same as the wounds on Xu Jun's body. A sergeant took an iron hook and handed it to Captain Lin.

Seeing that it was the iron hook he hid in the quilt, Lei Shaoxuan's heart sank completely.

"Where did you find it?"

"On Xu Jun's body. ”

Hearing this, Lei Shaoxuan was taken aback, the iron hook was obviously hidden in his quilt, how could he run to Xu Jun? However, he was not happy at all in his heart, and he couldn't hide after all.

"This hook is brand new, and it's clear that it has just been built and brought into the camp. Captain Lin shouted, "Who are the new prisoners in the camp?"

Lei Shaoxuan took a step forward calmly, and Luo Hao also stepped forward, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, his eyes flickering.

Although Lei Shaoxuan had washed his body, he couldn't clean it in the dark night, there was blood on his body, and his face was obviously swollen, obviously a sign of being beaten.

"What's the matter with the bruises on your face, how can there be blood on your body?" Captain Lin suddenly raised his voice, "Why did you kill Xu Jun?"

"The wound on my face was caused by Xu Jun, and it is the rule that death row prisoners will be beaten as soon as they enter the camp, and the blood is stained by turning Xu Jun's corpse. Lei Shaoxuan told the truth, but completely reversed the facts.

Everyone heard that Lei Shaoxuan was beaten by Xu Jun, so there were bruises on his body, and the blood was stained by sorting out the corpse. Lei Shaoxuan was young and the weakest newcomer to the camp, destined to be bullied, and most of the dirty work such as sorting out corpses was forced to do.

"Why did you kill Xu Jun?" Lei Shaoxuan lowered his head and said in a low voice, bitter in his heart, and said casually: "Because, because he is the boss, I want to be the boss." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lei Shaoxuan was completely cleared.

Can you kill Xu Jun? The sergeant burst into laughter when he heard this, Captain Lin laughed angrily, suddenly raised his foot, and kicked Lei Shaoxuan to the ground.

Captain Lin looked at Luo Hao with his eyes, Luo Hao was terrified, and suddenly found that he couldn't argue with it, and he couldn't argue with it. Lei Shaoxuan himself admitted it, but did the sergeants believe it?

The key is that he can't point out in public that it was Lei Shaoxuan who killed Xu Jun. It is the unspoken rule of prisoners not to tell in public, and if they tell in public, they will become the mortal enemy of everyone, and there will be no place to stand from now on.

The result of telling the whistleblower in public just after entering the camp made him shudder when he thought about it. If he is not in a desperate situation, he must not tell the truth, and death row prisoners will fight each other to die, and the suffering will be inevitable, but he will not fight his life with his life. can only suffer immediate losses, and then take revenge to regain face.

Luo Hao is a gangster, and he knows all this very well in his heart.

"I ...... I ......," Luo Hao wailed, "I didn't do it." ”

is not Lei Shaoxuan, that is, Luo Hao, only these two people are new to the camp, since Lei Shaoxuan cannot kill people, there is only Luo Hao.

Luo Hao was dragged aside by the sergeant.

It is not uncommon for death row inmates to fight each other in death row camps, which is not a big deal, but it is inevitable that punishment will be carried out.

"No one else saw the cause of Xu Jun's death, only you saw it, admit it, and want to be the boss?" Captain Lin turned around, he was no stranger to the rules of prisoners.

Captain Lin waved his hand to the sergeant and said, "It's okay, take it away together, you will be the boss of the camp in the future." ”

The whole camp was taken to the school grounds, Luo Hao and Yelu Qingshi were tied to a stake, and the rest stripped naked and knelt on the ground.

In the early spring morning of the Bitter Sea Wasteland, the weather was still very cold, and Lei Shaoxuan was shivering from the cold.

Captain Lin looked at the death row inmates lined up in a line and spoke sharply.

"You're all garbage, you deserve to die. However, how many soldiers died on the way to escort you to the bitter sea, and if you die or are executed by killing each other, those soldiers will die worthless. ”

Captain Lin sneered, "If you want to die, you will die on the battlefield, and each of you will have five lashes." ”

The death row camps are full of death row prisoners, and many prisoners already have the intention of dying, and life is naturally passable. However, as long as it is not a large-scale riot, the fighting in the death row camp is basically resolved by itself, and the sergeant's rash intervention will only bring danger to himself.

Therefore, if the prisoners on death row in the camp fight for the dead, they only need to put on some poses, and the guards basically have no interest in finding out the real murderer. These people are battlefield consumables, and it makes more sense to send them to death on the battlefield than to execute them.

A sergeant picked up a thick leather whip and made a dull sound of breaking through the air, accompanied by the terrible screams of the prisoners, and the skin on his back suddenly opened. After a few lashes, the prisoner almost collapsed to the ground, wailing.

Lei Shaoxuan saw it in his eyes and couldn't help but tremble.

Looking at the trembling teenager, the executing sergeant shook his head.

Lei Shaoxuan revealed the white and delicate skin of his upper body, looking so soft and thin, if he really smoked a few whips, his back would be broken and rotten, and there was a shortage of doctors and medicines in the camp, if he had a fever and suppuration, he would lose half his life if he didn't die.

The sergeant sighed in his heart: "The right should accumulate some yin virtue!"

The leather whip turned around on Lei Shaoxuan's back, making a loud "snap" whip sound, brushing from Lei Shaoxuan's back, and a red mark suddenly appeared on his back, burning pain, but it didn't hurt the flesh.

Captain Lin looked at the executing sergeant, snorted, and said, "You are kind. ”

The sergeant smiled wryly and said, "It's cold, my hands are a little shaky, and my head is not very good." ”

"Tie the two men, each with ten lashes, for two hours. Captain Lin turned around and left.

Yelu Qingshi came out and was willing to be punished, but he also established the position of the boss; Luo Hao glared at Lei Shaoxuan, his face was hideous, and there was fire in his eyes.

No one cares who killed Xu Jun, the sergeant only needs a scapegoat, and inadvertently deprives Luo Hao of the right to discern; and Luo Hao has no time and opportunity to justify, and forcibly defending himself will only cause more trouble, because the sergeant just wants to end the matter quickly.

Lei Shaoxuan quietly put his clothes on, feeling a lot warmer on his body, and secretly looked up at the sergeant guarding him, and the sergeant turned his face and pretended not to see.

All the sergeants saw the care of Lei Shaoxuan by the execution sergeant, and the rest of the guards were not guilty of evildoers.

Suddenly, Lei Shaoxuan saw a sergeant leading a familiar person towards this side.

Hu Youde came, holding his prison clothes and bedding in his hands.

Lei Shaoxuan was taken aback, didn't he leave?

The sergeant who came over saluted the guards and said, "There is a new death row prisoner, name: Hu Youde, into the 36th battalion." ”

The guards looked at Hu Youde and shouted: "The thirty-sixth battalion will kill each other in the camp, punish them collectively, and kneel over there." ”

Hu Youde came to Lei Shaoxuan and knelt down.

"Why are you on death row, aren't you going back?" asked Lei Shaoxuan anxiously.

"I don't worry about you. Old man Yu often went back and forth to the death row camp, and had some friendship with one of the camp managers, so he spent a little silver taels to make a death row paperwork, and I came in. ”

Lei Shaoxuan's throat seemed to be blocked by something, he choked and couldn't speak, his lips trembled slightly, and his eyes flowed with strings of tears.
