Three days passed quickly.
In the dimly lit cell, Wu Cheng curled up like a dead dog on the cold mud floor. There was not even dead grass on the ground, it was damp and cold, and it was pitted, giving off a musty smell of decay.
Wu Cheng curled up on the ground, his hands hanging weakly at his side, because he had not been connected, and it always hurt for a while. The whiplash wound on his body was already red, swollen and festering, and the wound was hot.
The most terrible thing is that the rice has not been exhausted for three days, the dry throat seems to be burning at any time, and the hungry stomach is even more throbbing, constantly spasming, making him almost crazy.
The feeling of hunger and thirst is so terrible that no one who has experienced it will understand what a terrible it is. Wu Cheng suddenly understood why once there was an opportunity in history, someone would change their children and eat, because hunger was so terrible that it would drive people crazy!
If he could, he would even like to bite his wrist to drink his own blood and gnaw on his own flesh.
But his arm was removed early in the morning, and he never put it on, so he could only hang down and couldn't move at all.
Wu Cheng fell to the ground, feeling his stomach convulsing from hunger, and once again shed tears uncontrollably.
Hot tears slid down his dirty face and soon reached his lips. He quickly stretched out his dry tongue and desperately licked the tears from his mouth.
He was so thirsty, not to mention his own tears, even if it was urine, he could drink it in one go!
Tears stained her chapped lips and seeped into the crack, causing an immediate tingling pain.
Wu Cheng licked his chapped lips with his tongue, feeling that he was probably going to die.
Three days of rice were not exhausted, coupled with the continuous low-grade fever caused by the whiplash infection, Wu Cheng's lips were already chapped and chapped. Not only did the lips crack one after another, but there were also layers of dead skin on the lips, dry and wrinkled, and it was tearing pain when touched lightly.
Wu Cheng has never suffered like this, even if he lived in the countryside when he was young in his previous life, and his family's economy was not good, he has never suffered such a big crime.
It's so painful!
He used to think that he was living a hard life, always scolding the society and the country on the Internet, and longing to travel through the ancient feudal kings and worship the prime minister like the protagonist in the novel, until now he is locked up in this dark prison, he really deeply understands the terrible supremacy of imperial power in ancient feudal society.
There are no human rights here at all, whose life does the superior want, all it takes is a fluttering word, and that person will fall to the ground!
Even the officials below dare to ask for people's lives at will!
Wu Cheng still remembers the intimidation of those little officials, and the whole person can't help but curl up even more.
He didn't want to die, not at all.
At the same time, in the water pavilion next to Mingjing Lake, Gao Zixin was leisurely lying on a chair fishing.
The chair is a rocking chair on which you can lie on, cushioned with a jade mat, which is both cool and comfortable.
On the left hand side of Gao Zixin is a small round coffee table, with herbal tea and a few plates of melons and fruits, which you can get if you want to eat them. On his right-hand side, there is a small stand.
The long rod is placed on the bracket and can be taken down at the same time, which is very convenient.
Gao Zixin half-squinted, looking at the float floating on the water, and the corners of his lips hooked up an intoxicating smile.
Just like the smile on his face, he was in a very good mood at this time.
Recently, nothing has happened in the court, Duobaolou has a good income every day, the summer resort has beautiful scenery, the temperature is suitable, he is just happy.
However, it was Wu Cheng who made him the happiest.
According to the news reported by Feng Xuan, Wu Cheng can't support it for long.
Moreover, this person is very afraid of death.
In the past three days, Gao Zixin has figured it out, he has been misled by 001 before, always thinking about satisfying the other party's wishes and making the other party grateful, but he forgot that he is the emperor, and he can use extraordinary means, there is no need to be polite to these strangers!
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard the sound of water waves shaking. Instinctively following the voice, Gao Zixin's face suddenly became gloomy.
Feng Xuan, this bastard, actually caught another big fish!
He has been guarding all afternoon, but there is no movement at all, but Feng Xuan next to him will be able to catch a fish in a while!
Gao Zixin was suddenly unhappy, does Feng Xuan still have the appearance of a courtier? How can a courtier's harvest be better than that of the emperor? Don't you worry about the high merit and the master?
Feng Xuan pulled up the fishing rod, and a little eunuch ran over quickly, took the net pocket, scooped up the fish and put it in the fish basket, and Feng Xuan didn't need to do it himself.
There are already more than 10 big fish in the fish basket, and as soon as the new big fish enters, it suddenly bursts into excitement and makes a "bang" sound.
Gao Zixin was suddenly even more dissatisfied, and glared at Feng Xuan viciously with a stinky face: "Feng Xuan, my fish have been scared away by you!" ”
Feng Xuan silently glanced at Gao Zixin's immobile float, opened his mouth, and still didn't remind him - Your Majesty, you haven't even bitten the hook yet!
He knew that Gao Zixin was in a temper, so he said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister catches a bit of a lot of fish, and I will give it to His Majesty later." ”
They had an agreement before fishing, they would eat the fish tonight, and whoever caught the fish would eat it. If you can't catch a fish, you won't have anything to eat.
Gao Zixin swore that he must be a master of fishing, so he deliberately made an agreement with Feng Xuan just to see Feng Xuan's good show.
Who knows, Feng Xuan is not only good-looking, but also capable of writing and martial arts, and is actually a master of fishing!
All afternoon, Gao Zixin didn't catch a single fish, as if all the fish had taken Feng Xuan's hook!
Gao Zixin was very depressed, Feng Xuan was just good-looking, her stomach was full of black water, and those fish were so eyeless!
He listened to Feng Xuan's words, and his heart was even more angry: "I don't need you to let me, haven't you caught so many fish?" I've eaten it all tonight, so don't waste it! ”
Hmph, you know how to fish, right? I can't kill you!
Feng Xuan is funny and helpless, his little fox is strict and serious when dealing with state affairs on weekdays, and he is too mature to speak, but when he encounters such a trivial matter, the little fox always likes to lose his temper with him, like a naughty child.
Although Gao Zixin's tantrum is quite cute, Feng Xuan's selfish heart still hopes that he can really mature.
He didn't want to endure it any longer.
Gao Zixin saw Feng Xuan's smile, and he was even more angry, he was so angry that he grabbed the fishing rod and wanted to take it back, but when he held it with his hand, he suddenly noticed a terrible pull!
He looked at the water in a panic, and saw that the float that had been floating on the water had sunk in an instant, and disappeared into the water.
Gao Zixin instinctively clenched the fishing rod and said loudly to Huanxi, who was standing next to him: "Huanxi! Come and help! Fish on the hook! ”
Huanxi was overjoyed and was about to rush over at a trot, but Feng Xuan came to Gao Zixin's side first, and waved his hand to Huanxi with disgust: "You stay there, here I am." ”
As soon as his words fell, Gao Zixin was already exclaimed by the huge pull from under the water, and was even directly pulled off the recliner by the huge pull and almost fell out.
Fortunately, Feng Xuan took action in time to stop him by the waist and hug him, and hugged him in his arms, so he didn't let him fall into a wolf.
Feng Xuan was also taken aback, what is this? It's a bit too strong!
He thought as he gripped the rod and pulled it carefully.
The two of them pulled together, pulling and retreating, and gradually, the things in the water finally revealed their full picture. At this time, Gao Zixin and Feng Xuan were far apart, and the things under the water had not yet emerged, so they couldn't see it at all, but Huanxi, who was guarding the water's edge, and another little eunuch saw it clearly, and they all exclaimed: "What a big turtle!" ”
"Oh no, it wants to run!"
Huanxi screamed in surprise, picked up a huge net and scooped it into the water, just as he put the turtle in the net pocket. This is terrible, a slow turtle was suddenly frightened, desperately struggling to escape.
Its strength was very strong, and as soon as it struggled, Huanxi was almost pulled into the water by it, but the little eunuch next to him saw the opportunity early, grabbed Huanxi's arm, and pulled it back desperately.
At this time, Gao Zixin also threw down the fishing rod and walked over to Huanxi quickly, wanting to see what he had caught.
He heard Huanxi's exclamation, but his vision was blocked by Huanxi and the little eunuch, and he couldn't see the whole picture of the turtle at all, only a little bit of it.
The more he couldn't see it, the more itchy Gao Zixin became.
As he walked briskly, he joined forces with the little eunuch and pulled the turtle out of the water.
The turtle is trapped in the net pocket, and it is still struggling, but it is large and has an advantage underwater, and when it reaches land, it is trapped by the net again, and there is no advantage, and all the struggles are in vain.
Because of fear, it simply retracted its limbs, including its tail, into its hard shell, which means "what do you love, the turtle master swears to death".
When Gao Zixin walked over, he happened to see the turtle in the net pocket shrinking his head and pretending to be dead.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if the turtle is too smart, as soon as he approached, the turtle suddenly stuck out its head and looked at him curiously.
Those little black eyes happened to look at Gao Zixin, and they looked quite strict, as if they were scrutinizing.
Gao Zixin looked at this turtle that was almost the size of a basin, and suddenly became interested: "Sure enough, the things I caught are different!" After speaking, he also glanced at Feng Xuan very defiantly.
Who knew that Feng Xuan suddenly asked, "What is Your Majesty going to do with it?" ”
