Chapter 2: The Strange Old Man in the Prison
In this relatively quiet prison, Xu Muchuan looked around. Although there were no officers and soldiers around here, the thigh-thick wood made Xu Muchuan disheartened.
Xu Muchuan was also arrested and interrogated several times during his time in the cell, but Xu Muchuan didn't know what was going on at all, so no matter how the officers and soldiers tortured Xu Muchuan, they couldn't interrogate anything, so it was over.
Waiting for Xu Muchuan, only the queen of the autumn asked to behead.
"It seems that I can only wait for death slowly." Xu Muchuan sat helplessly on the cold floor and shook his head and sighed softly.
The old man next to Xu Muchuan didn't have the slightest intention of resting, but moved his body and slowly approached where Xu Muchuan was.
"Boy, what's your name?" The old man's slightly sunken eyes shot out two rays of light from the depths, and he stared at Xu Muchuan and said softly.
Xu Muchuan turned his head and looked at this strange old man and responded: "My name is Xu Muchuan, what about you, uncle?" ”
The old man's long hair was all rolled together, and even smelly, but the old man seemed to be used to today's life, and he slowly draped his long hair on his back without paying attention to it.
"Me? No name, no surname, just a man who is about to die. The old man's indifferent expression slowly spoke, but in the bottom of the old man's heart, he trembled fiercely.
"Uncle, what did you do to get locked up here? How long have you been here? Xu Muchuan knew that it was useless to worry about the sky, so he also relaxed his nervous expression slightly.
The old man pressed his hands tightly against the wall, then leaned his head on his arm and chuckled: "I have killed people, and I have killed many, many people, so I have been locked up in this prison for almost ten years!" ”
"It's been more than ten years!"
Xu Muchuan shouted softly in shock.
Xu Muchuan never thought that the sloppy old man in front of him had been in this dark place for more than ten years. Xu Muchuan's eyelids trembled a few times involuntarily: "Uncle, you haven't gone out for more than ten years?" ”
"Get out? There's no need, what can you do if you get out, it's better to be comfortable in this prison. The old man closed his eyes slightly, and said this with indescribable emotion.
Xu Muchuan took a deep look at the old man leaning against the wall, and then said with emotion: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, I thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to be able to have a relationship with you." ”
"You're not talking nonsense, the robbery field must be dead, it's not bad that you weren't chopped into meat sauce on the spot! can still live for a few months, and the autumn queen is chopping, hahaha. The old man said with some schadenfreude.
Xu Muchuan pursed his lips, and then said lightly without care: "Forget it, you don't understand it after telling you." ”
"Do you still look down on my old man?" The old man's tone was slightly aggravated.
The corners of Xu Muchuan's mouth grinned, and his eyes occasionally glanced at the old man next door: "Uncle, I didn't mean that, what I wanted to say was...... I'm not actually from your time, can you believe it? ”
"Well, I do." The old man responded to Xu Muchuan without saying a word.
Xu Muchuan was stunned, then looked at the old man excitedly and said, "Really? Do you really believe that I am not from your time? ”
"I believe you're a fool, a big fool who doesn't even know where you are, how can you come to rob the Dharma Field, I'm curious." The old man slowly turned his head to look at Xu Muchuan, who was full of excitement, and said.
Depend on! Xu Muchuan's excitement was as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him in an instant.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you." Xu Muchuan lay on the floor very helplessly and pretended to sleep.
After glancing at Xu Muchuan who was lying on the ground, the old man also put away a smile on his face, and his deep eyes revealed an extraordinary gaze.
Time flowed through his fingers minute by minute, and night soon fell on the land of Kyushu.
It's getting dark, and naturally it's time for dinner.
Several officers and soldiers directly took a few buns and threw them into Xu Muchuan's cell, and they didn't even have a glass of water and wine.
"This ...... How to eat this, just three fists of big buns. Xu Muchuan looked at the somewhat dirty white bread, and he sighed helplessly: "Alas! It's so tiring to be a human being. ”
The old man next door to Xu Muchuan said with a smile: "Hey! Boy, if you don't want to eat it, give it to me! ”
"Don't you have? Why do you want mine? Xu Muchuan was a little speechless, disdainful of the sloppy old man in front of him.
"I just ate two steamed buns at noon today, and they won't give me anything to eat in the evening." The old man licked his chapped lips lightly with his tongue.
Only one meal a day? And it's just two buns.
Xu Muchuan's eyes are about to pop out, is this a human life?
"You...... Do you live like this every day? Xu Muchuan looked at the old man with a dull expression, and asked in surprise.
"It's fine to come in at first, but it's almost one meal a day for the past two years! After all, people have gone to tea and cool, and the guards of the prison have changed many batches, and no one will care about me, an old man. ”
The old man shook his head lightly with a little emotion, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was so full of sadness and loneliness.
Xu Muchuan felt that this old man was very difficult at this time, and it was difficult for him to imagine how this sloppy old man had survived in this dark prison for more than ten years.
"Give you two, I just need to eat one bun." Xu Muchuan picked up the two dusty buns from the ground, and then threw them at the old man in the prison next to him.
"Thank you, I'm hungry for a long time." The old man grinned, and a large row of yellow teeth came into Xu Muchuan's eyes.
Without saying a word, the old man grabbed the two buns and began to eat them, not caring about any image problems at all.
"Uncle, you ...... How did you survive, it's better to be locked up in a prison for more than ten years like this, and it's a hundred years to die. Xu Muchuan also picked up the only bun in his hand and nibbled on it.
"Dead? I don't want to, but ...... I can't die, as long as I live one more day, those people will not dare to move for a day. The old man shook his head lightly and said.
After a while, the old man had already swallowed the two buns into his stomach, while Xu Muchuan was chewing slowly and slowly gnawing on the unpalatable buns.
Xu Muchuan heard the old man's answer, he looked at the old man very curiously and asked, "Uncle, who are you?" Why do you want to be imprisoned for more than ten years and not killed. ”
"I'm just a person who made mistakes." After the old man finished eating, he lay on the ground again, deliberately avoiding Xu Muchuan's question.
When Xu Muchuan saw the appearance of this old man, he naturally knew that the old man was deliberately avoiding this question, so Xu Muchuan didn't ask it boringly.
Xu Muchuan looked at this solid and unbreakable cell very helplessly, he didn't know what to do next, he was very confused and helpless.
