Scarborough Shoal has finally arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After passing the security check at the city gate, the caravan went to the city east of the city and stopped, where most of the foreigners' business was going to be done. Qin Si left the caravan halfway through, dressed in an extremely simple dark blue women's dress, carrying a small package with only twenty copper coins and her white, wide-sleeved, blood-stained garment.
She was dressed in an ordinary way, and her face was not very good-looking due to lack of blood and injuries, and walking in Huangyan City would not attract the attention of others. From the east to the west of the city, from the south to the north of the city, she had a general understanding of the layout of the place, the northwest was the army garrison, the east was the market, the south was the residential area, and as for the west area, she could only see the yamen from a distance, but she did not go inside.
Qin Si sat down on a stone on the side of the street, there were many people here, and the business was quite developed, but because it was at the confluence of east, west, north and south transportation, and the garrison of the Great Zhou was also there, the local control was dominated by the military. The review and supervision of the migrant population is also strict, and the local shops here must also go to the yamen to register their identities.
She hasn't figured out the situation in this world and her own situation, so it's not easy for people to find out her identity, and it will naturally not work to find a job, and if she is not careful, she will be like the alien just now, because she didn't bring her identity documents, she was identified as a spy and escorted to the northwest military camp.
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion on the street, and the crowd gave way one after another, Qin Si hurriedly stood up and stood at the end of the crowd, she saw that most of the people had a look of disgust on their faces, and a few beautifully dressed ladies covered their mouths and noses with handkerchiefs.
What is it about this that is so disgusting?
A donkey cart rushed to this side from the other end of the street in a panic, the donkey pulling the cart was no longer old, the hair on his body was bald piece by piece, and the wooden cart behind was not big, and there was a roll of rotten reed mats on the cart. No one was driving, and the donkey had a black bell tied around its neck, and the bell rang "bell", and each time it was long, it sounded like a death knell.
"Bad luck, why did you meet this brute!" A lady said in disgust.
"But no, the dead in the prison can't be sent out at night? I want an old brute to drag that filthy thing out of the city. ”
Qin Si's face turned pale, she had lived for 20 years in her previous life, and it was the first time she had seen a dead person.
The donkey cart approached slowly, and the mat on the board of the cart was wrapped in the corpse, revealing only a little black hair and two feet, which were as dry as branches, black and red, and a few rotten sores, which looked very disgusting.
The old donkey walked swaying, the cart squeaked, slowly passing in front of Qin Si, a child in the crowd suddenly cried, the old donkey was obviously frightened, his hooves were crooked, and the cart behind him shook, Qin Si's eyes widened, and he saw the corpse wrapped in a mat roll down from the cart and rolled straight to her feet.
The people around him screamed and ran away, Qin Si looked at the corpse in a daze, the reed mat had been completely opened, and the corpse in the dirty white prison clothes was lying face up, with a pair of violent eyes staring at Qin Si as if with great resentment.
Qin Si's legs were numb, and he almost didn't stand still.
When she didn't know what to do in a panic, she saw the old donkey coming over, it looked at Qin Si, its eyes were big and warm, the donkey's hooves nodded at the corpse, and then looked back at the car board, which seemed to mean that Qin Si should move the corpse to the car.
Qin Si wanted to cry without tears. Seeing that people avoided it and avoided it far away, she was the only one in front of this corpse, as a good boy who grew up under the red flag, she couldn't leave the corpse alone. With this noon sun, I'm afraid it won't be long before the corpse will grow worms.
She was even less likely to expect a donkey to load the carcass onto the cart.
Helpless, Qin Si persuaded himself a few words, people die like a pot of plants, it's okay, it's okay, so he put the burden aside, pulled two pieces of clothes to wrap his hands, or held the mat and wrapped the person in.
When he lifted the man, he felt very light, as if he had only a handful of bones left.
The reed mat was put on the cart, Qin Si threw the rags, grinned, and said to the old donkey: "Okay, put it on, you can go." ”
The donkey barked twice, but before he left, he shook his neck, and his head pressed hard against Qin Si's shoulder.
Qin Si hurriedly retreated, but the donkey also followed, and for a while it was already close to the crowd behind.
"Oops!" An elderly old man snorted impatiently, "You Nizi, he asked you to take the sign around its neck, you should take it quickly!" There are still unclean things in the car! ”
When Qin Si heard this, she saw a bag around the donkey's neck, and she hurriedly reached in and took out a small piece of iron from it.
The old donkey didn't go forward, barked twice, turned around and dragged the cart out of the city. Qin Si was holding the iron piece, and he didn't know why.
"Uncle, what is this for?" She asked the old man hurriedly.
The old man took two steps back with some disgust, and said, "Just go to the prison to exchange some money." Let's go. ”
Qin Si could understand the disgust of the people on the street, and he also knew that he had just hugged the corpse, so he was helpless, anyway, it was okay now, so let's go to that prison and have a look. Sounds paid.
Holding the iron piece, the people patrolling the streets on the side of the yamen did not stop her, and instructed her to go to the south, and just go in when she saw a black stone gate.
Walking only 300 meters away, I saw two black gates, and a black stele on the right side of the gate was engraved with three big characters: "Huangyan Prison". The huge fierce sculpture on the prison door was hideous and terrifying, and the jailer guarding the door was also expressionless, and the crimson official clothes seemed to be soaked in blood.
Qin Si glanced at it a few times and hurriedly avoided her gaze, because a few more images flashed in her mind, a woman was placed on a torture instrument, and the soldering iron left a mark on her face; There was a woman in the gloomy room who was tortured by two strong men, and the woman was very beautiful, but the expression on her face was extremely desperate; There were people who died on the stone walls, and there were corpses that slowly rotted and smelled in the straw pile......
Forcibly suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Qin Si pinched his leg fiercely.
Those scenes seem to have happened in this Scarborough Prison, why does this body have these memories? And why is it so painful to recall these memories? What does they have to do with themselves?
Qin Si stared at the ground, and had a vague feeling in his heart that he should be able to find the answer to the past of this body in this prison.
Her fingers rubbed on the iron piece, this can be regarded as an opportunity, if it is an opportunity, she should think about going through this iron piece and entering this prison.
The stone gate was a small gate in the southernmost part of the prison, and when she arrived, she saw an old woman laboriously pouring a bucket of water into the cauldron on the stove.
Qin Si looked at the half-human-high stove and the two large iron pots, and hurriedly walked over to help the old man hold the bucket, and easily poured the water in the bucket into the pot with the arm that was not injured.
"Which one are you? Did that stupid donkey roll off the dead? ”
Qin Si listened to the old man's hoarse voice, looked at her face that was wrinkled like dried walnuts under the black turban, nodded silently, and handed over the piece of iron.
The old man looked at the piece of iron, but suddenly laughed "quack", hoarsely said, "It's a rule in the end, it's just that no one has come to ask for money from the dead for many years." But for a penny, you're still here, let me ask you, can't you live? ”
Qin Si was stunned for a moment, listening to the meaning of this, it seemed like a routine of Zhao'an....... Before she could answer, she heard the old man say to himself: "My name is Tang Pozi, I am in charge of the prison food of the female prisoner in this prison, and I am old and lack personal help, are you willing to come?" She glanced at Qin Si as she spoke, "You don't look neat, you won't even want it in the building, I'm not rich here, but I also have money, and it's not difficult to eat meat......
Qin Si naturally wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity, and hurriedly said, "I'm willing." Granny Tang, the little girl's name is Qin Si, and it was easy to escape from the bandits outside, please take her mother-in-law in! "What a chance to send food to prison!
The corners of Tang Pozi's mouth twitched into a small smile, revealing her broken teeth.
"Wash the dishes, and I'll go to the yamen to settle down later."
