Chapter Forty-Nine: The Problem of Spring Leakage (Part II)
When I woke up, I found myself in a wet dungeon, surrounded by darkness and pressure that I couldn't see my fingers, and outside the window there was still a dark night like stagnant water, the light was very dim, and everything was chaotic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The infinite darkness, the deep dungeon, the gray skylight, everything was so familiar, as if she had gone back to many years ago, back to the bleak autumn of the year when she was four years old.
However, what's so scary about this, memories are just memories after all, and nothing can be changed.
Shi Jin's eyes closed slightly, and the whole person seemed to fall into a whirlpool of mournful yellow memories.
When I opened my eyes again, it was clear again.
After a few breaths of hard work, my mind was still dizzy and my body was stiff, but I could feel the sensation of my fingers slowly returning.
The air in this dungeon was still very dry, indicating that it was surrounded by land, and the straw under her body was rotten and crumbled, and she was leaning against a corner, and there were many slight breaths around her, long or short.
It seems that they were locked together.
"Awake?" The sudden speech seemed hoarse, but I could still hear that it was a pretending to be dizzy.
"Where is this?" As soon as he spoke, he found that there seemed to be countless small needles pricking his throat.
"I don't know." Rong Jing's tone was full of suspicion of flirtation.
Shi Jin raised his slightly stiff fingers, stretched them out to Rong Jing's waist and twisted them fiercely.
"Is Situ Gongzi also awake?" Rong Jingyi raised his eyebrows and asked softly.
Hearing this, Shi Jin hurriedly let go.
Situ Yu said a faint "um", then stopped talking, and sat still without moving, not knowing what he was thinking.
The sky gradually cleared up, and the white of the fish belly on the edge of the sky could be seen outside the window, and the bright light gradually illuminated the scene inside the dungeon.
The dungeon was a large earth pit surrounded by gray brick walls with two skylights, a smaller one on the outside and one on the top.
The ground was covered with thatched slag, and everyone was lying on the ground, while Situ Yu was sitting by the small window.
Expressionlessly, he looked up at the small window, and a faint glimmer hit the side of his face...... Human-like dogs!
Shi Jin's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, and it was just a moment, but it was still captured by Rong Jing.
For a while, there was no word in the humble dungeon, and it was quiet and strange.
The sky was already bright, and the rest of the seven or eight people woke up slowly, and then some people asked this and that in a panic, but Shi Jin squinted his eyes and took a nap, looking like he was "prostrating", while Situ Yu looked at the sky outside the window intently.
No one paid attention to their questioning, but the people who were able to participate in the spring festival were not fools, and they could guess the slightest reason, or they were ashamed of their shyness, or they were angry at their despicable behavior, and they were silent.
This dungeon is not very strong, I am afraid it is specially prepared for them who are powerless scholars, the walls are mottled, the roots of the walls are full of nameless weeds, there is no sound around, probably not in the city.
Tomorrow morning, the spring exam will begin, and the people here are all students from all over the country who have studied hard for ten years in the cold window, and have come to the capital to take the exam, but they are blocked by the word "money" at the gate of the spring festival, how can they not hate, how can they not complain.
I think Wei Yuan was just a cloth cloth back then, but now he has become the prime minister, in order to compete for power and power, and to consolidate the emperor's favor forever, he does not hesitate to use future generations of students as stepping stones.
But Shi Jin grew up in the Northern Desert since he was a child, and he has been bent on revenge for the Jiang family since he can remember, and his impression of Tanglin only stays in that autumn day when the sunset is like blood.
People who have nothing to do with her, whether they are corrupt officials who do a lot of evil, or innocent ordinary people, she has no idea of righteousness and courage, or she is lonely and full of enthusiasm to reach out to help.
But Daddy was dedicated to the country during his lifetime, and he valued knowledge and scholars more than anything else, even for Daddy, he had to take these scholars into account when he overthrew Wei Yuan.
When she was squinting and thinking, she suddenly felt Rong Jing beside her gently push her.
Shi Jin opened his eyes, looked around, and found that someone was already whispering, looking at Situ Yu, his eyes were full of puzzlement.
The son of the Situ family in Nanshan can't take out a mere 1,000 taels, how is it possible?
Besides, Situ Yu is the eldest grandson of the Nanshan family, and these people dare to hit the Nanshan Situ family with their ideas, could it be that they are really relatives of the emperor?
Finally, someone couldn't sit still, and a man with a relatively delicate face in a bamboo-colored robe got up and paced over.
"Dare to ask Situ Gongzi also came to Beijing to take the exam?" The answer was well known to everyone present, but as a scholar, it was impossible for him to directly ask "Why don't you take the money out" that insults his integrity.
It's like letting Situ Yu answer the hidden questions by himself, and after solving the doubts in his heart, he can discuss the way to deal with him, right?
This Nanshan Situ Gongzi's intelligence is well known to the world, his family is big, and he can only escape by cooperating with him, otherwise he will miss the spring festival the day after tomorrow, and he will have to wait for a long three years, and how many three years can he wait in his life......
The beautiful man here was lyrically intoxicated in his heart, but he didn't know that Situ Yu didn't have that kind of mind, and a short "um" word was hastily perfunctory.
"This ......" Qing Xiunan wanted to ask again, but Situ Yu stood up and walked past him without squinting.
Leave him alone for the embarrassment......
Although Shi Jin wanted to laugh, he couldn't laugh, because Situ Yu walked towards the two of them.
For a while, Shi Jin saw him as if he had seen the ugly face of his father Situ Zhan more than ten years ago, and he really didn't want to look at him again.
I couldn't help but close my eyes Jing and listened to the conversation between Situ Yu and Rong Jing.
"May I ask what advice Situ Gongzi has?" Rong Jing whispered.
"Don't you dare," the clear voice paused, "I took the liberty of asking the names of the two?" ”
"Oh, in Xia Mohei, my brother Mo Bai, people from Feizhou, Feizhou is remote and complicated, presumably Nanshan Situ Gongzi has never heard of it."
"Brother Mo is humble." When the greeting came here, Rong Jing didn't answer, and there was a strange silence in the dungeon for a while.
Situ Yu walked back and sat down again.
Other people are inexplicable when they see such a strange conversation, the day after tomorrow is the spring season, they are still trapped in this ghost place and can't go out, who still cares about other people's family affairs, but the most capable Situ Yu also put on a look that it doesn't matter to him.
But the family background is there, I don't take the exam this year, and I will be promoted in the same way in three years, and I will still be famous if I don't go home as an official to be a master, where do I understand the feelings of these poor soldiers......
So then someone began to plan how to organize an escape, except for Shi Jin, Rong Jing and Situ Yu did not say a word, the discussion was still intense.
It lasted until the evening, during which time they tried a series of methods such as protesting, pursuing, roaring, begging, etc., but no matter how they screamed, the outside of the dungeon remained silent, as if the whole world had died outside.
They hadn't eaten salt water for a day, and the gang couldn't toss anymore, and they rested against the wall in disheveled clothes.
Nothing had changed until the second half of the night, and the mutation had occurred at midnight.
