A corner of the camp, a tent somewhere.

There are many lights and shadows in the tent, and the scene is blurry and illusory.

The moist air rushed into his swollen and hot chest, and his survival instinct caused him to gulp for the air he could touch.

Before he could catch his breath, the familiar suffocation and stickiness came again.

Li Shu struggled to open his bloodshot and swollen eyes, which were densely covered with bloodshots.

"Still won't tell?"

A high-pitched, caustic voice came from above, sometimes clear, sometimes indistinct, and one couldn't help but suspect that the voice came from hell.

Li Shu bit his lip and didn't say a word, his usually sober and calm mind went blank.

Pain captivates all the physical senses and makes him unable to find his own sanity.

He struggled to keep his eyes open, and his face was covered with two layers of mulberry paper, which were wet and damp, blocking the air and making it more difficult for him to breathe.

Because his head and limbs were fixed and bound, he couldn't even move a little bit of luxury.

“...... It's really tough......"

After a few breaths, the mulberry paper covered by his face was superimposed on three sheets, and then he was removed again, and the cold air rushed to his face, allowing Li Shu to have time to breathe. However, the precious air did not come into contact for long, and the person on the side took another piece of mulberry paper.

Li Shu's eyes swept away, and the previous experience made him shiver, and fear hit his brain from the soles of his feet.

“...... If you think about it, cover it again this time, and then post it one by one, and never give you a chance to regret it again. ”

Li Shu's chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the person on the side carefully.

"I won't say it, let's die. ”

His voice was hoarse and deep, and every word he said felt like a knife scraping his throat.

Rao is like this, Li Shu's expression is still tough, and he has no intention of being soft and loose.

The man was furious by his attitude, and snorted coldly.

"Okay—worthy of being a literati, the bones are really hard, I don't want to say this......" The man smiled with some malice, waved his hand to bring the cut mulberry paper, and pinched his throat as he took it, "Cheap bones, it's worth it to send you on the road with such expensive paper." ”

The output of mulberry paper is not high, and ordinary people cannot afford to use it at all.

I don't know who discovered its wonderful use, after the mulberry paper is wet, it will isolate the air, and a few more sheets can suffocate people to death.

Cover them one by one, and almost no one can withstand this kind of punishment.

The person surnamed "Li" in front of him was hard-hearted, going back and forth two or three sheets, suffocating him to death every time and then uncovering the paper, which made him suffer enough. I can't stand it anymore as an ordinary person, who knows if this person can still hold on - hmph, I really think I don't dare to kill him, right?

"This time, I will cover nine of them for you, and send you to the old man's house in the capital of Yama, and I wish you a bright future!"

Li Shu's eyes squinted, and he snorted weakly and weakly.

Full of contempt.

The man was not angry, and put the unwet mulberry paper over Lishu's face.

As if remembering something, he leaned down and whispered in Lishu's ear.

"The scholar next to you, what's the name of the road, guess what's wrong with him?"

Li Shu's heart chuckled, and his hands tied to the long stick clenched into fists.

His small gesture clearly pleased the man, who laughed happily from his chest to his throat, and the laughter was particularly gnashing.

"His body had already been torn apart by the mountain and forest animals. ”

Intense anger simmered in Li Shu's chest, and he seemed to be trying to gather up the remaining strength to break free from the bondage, but it was all in vain, and his wrists and ankles were worn off by the thick hemp rope, leaving red marks of flesh and blood. The throat overflowed with a low roar resembling that of a trapped beast in a desperate situation.

With a pop, the man sprayed the water in his mouth onto the mulberry paper.

The mulberry paper softened with moisture, and the familiar feeling of suffocation swept over like a tide.

The executioner whispered in Li Shu's ear: "You have a fast foot, maybe you can still see that little cheap bone." But I was divided and eaten like that by wild beasts, I lacked hands and feet, my stomach was opened, and my intestines, heart, liver, and lungs were all gone, and I don't know if you could recognize it. ”

After a dozen breaths, the executioner covered Li Shu's face with a second piece of mulberry paper and sprayed it with water.

continued to attack Li Shu's psychological defense line with words, and seeing that he didn't mean to give in, he stamped the third one.

According to the experience of the executioner, when the mulberry paper is covered with 5 to 8 sheets, the prisoner will suffocate to death.

This is only the third one, and the remaining few can take your time and prolong the time for Li Shu to wait for death, watching him struggle in pain is really relieved.

"Fourth, I wish you a promotion and a fortune when you go to the capital of Xudu. ”

The remnants of his sanity told him that the coming year would be the day of his death.

He struggled to hold his breath and waited quietly for the fourth piece of paper.

One breath ......

2. Interest ......

Three-interest ......

On the fourth breath, Li Shu felt the executioner stick mulberry paper on his belly, and the sound of water spraying sounded, and his belly was cold.

Lishu: "???"

The sudden stunned operation made Li Shu confused, and there was a sneer from the executioner in his ears, and his voice was full of emotion and was particularly infiltrating.

“...... Prisoners who pass by hand can paste up to 8 pieces of mulberry paper, I don't know how many you can paste. I saw that you were a thin scribe, but I didn't expect it to be hidden. The executioner beeped a few words at Li Shu's belly, and muttered, "It's true that you don't cry when you don't see the coffin." ”

After three breaths, the fifth piece of mulberry paper was again covered on the belly.

If it weren't for the wrong scene, Li Shu's face would probably be unbearable.

At this time, he felt something moving around his ears and temples, and it did not feel like a human hand.

In a few moments, the mulberry paper covering his face was uncovered again, and fresh air rushed into his nostrils.

Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief again, and caught a glimpse of green in his afterglow.

He subconsciously rolled his eyes to follow the conspicuous color, and as soon as he saw it clearly, he had the illusion that his blood was frozen all over his body.

A bamboo leaf......

A bamboo leaf pulled the mulberry paper covering his face???

Li Shu didn't dare to move, but his eyes blinked quickly.

Is he dreaming?

The movement of the executioner stamping the sixth piece of mulberry paper drew his attention.

Li Shu's eyes looked down again, and he saw the executioner's expression vividly squirting water at his belly, and he beeped eerily and eerily.

What's going on?

Rao is a well-informed soul trifecta who also thinks "who I am, where I am, and what am I doing" at this time.

However, he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that as soon as he spoke, he would wake up the executioner who was suspected of being a ghost hitting the wall.

So he lay on the execution bed like this, watching the executioner's voice and emotion with a blank face, and covering his belly with one mulberry paper after another. Li Shu went from being shocked at the beginning to being indifferent now, and he still wanted to do what to do if his stomach was cold.

The mulberry paper was covered to the eighth sheet, and the executioner "saw" that Li Shu was not dead, and his hideous expression was a little more incredulous.

"The life of a cheap bone is really hard. ”

Unbelief in evil was stamped with the ninth and tenth sheets.

Lishu: "......"

He'd never heard of a belly covered with mulberry paper that could suffocate people.
