Chapter 22: The Dream of a Death Row Inmate

Geng Gu Meng, diamonds for fire, animal skins for the body, grass and fruits for hunger, I don't know how long the time has passed? It feels like centuries have slipped by.

Xiao Yikou ran in the forest in clothes made of animal skins, holding sharpened wooden sticks in his hands, and a group of people ran behind Xiao Yikou. In front of them, an ancient divine beast ran desperately, and the divine beast had six ears, six eyes, and six horns on its head, and it also ran on six legs, and its fur on its body shone with golden light.

Xiao Yikou was amazed, and he didn't know why he was running in front during the chase, could it be that he was the leader of this group of people without clothes? However, turning a hill, the Ancient Divine Beast disappeared, and the group of people that followed behind also disappeared. Xiao Yikou looked around the forest alone, except for the tall forest, and the sometimes whistling wind, there was nothing, not even the sound of birds.

A few more steps forward, and the forest disappeared out of thin air, just under Xiao Yikou's nose. What appeared in front of me was a vast ocean, a sea with no end in sight, a line between water and sky, and he sat alone in a flat boat, floating on the vast sea surrounded by water.

A group of man-eating whales wandered around the boat, sometimes jumping up and down, sometimes spraying water directly at the boat, making Xiao Yikou drenched. Xiao Yikou couldn't explain why he came here? A wave rolled over fiercely, the wave was overwhelming, the boat swayed violently in the waves, and Xiao Yikou tried hard to stabilize the boat. But wave after wave came, and Xiao Yikou fell into the sea.

A heart-piercing pain caused Xiao Yikou to let out a scream. The salt content of the sea water was high, and it was like a salt on the wound on Xiao Yikou's body. Xiao Yikou yelled, his hands clapping on his body to ease the pain.

was anxious to climb onto the overturned boat, but Xiao Yikou tried in vain. What frightened Xiao Yikou even more was that a whale swam directly over with big eyes, sprayed water at Xiao Yikou, turned around and slapped Xiao Yikou with its tail. Xiao Yikou felt that his face was hot, as if someone was slapping him.

Xiao Yikou was anxious to escape, so he shouted and swam forward. However, which tail always followed, constantly slapping Xiao Yikou in the face. Xiao Yikou's eyes widened suddenly, everything in front of him disappeared, what sea, what forest, what ancient beasts, what man-eating whales, all disappeared in front of his eyes, and in his place came endless darkness, and the constant slap in the dark.

The slap didn't stop, the man seemed to be very persistent, as long as Xiao Yikou didn't open his mouth, his slapping would not stop. Xiao Yikou finally adapted to this dark environment, and in the haze, he could see clearly that the person who slapped him was looking at him, the man was full of beards, and only those eyes could still shine in the dark.

Xiao Yikou said: "I don't know how long my friend will slap Zaixia, why don't you stop and rest for a while?" ”

The man in the darkness was pleasantly surprised: "You're not dead? ”

Xiao Yikou said: "It's a good fate, otherwise I would have been killed by you a few times!" ”

The man laughed and said, "I finally saw people, and now it's worth letting me die." After the man said this, Xiao Yikou clearly felt in the darkness that he was shedding tears, tears of excitement. Xiao Yikou is very strange, who is this? People are everywhere on the streets, why use the word 'finally'? It feels like I haven't seen anyone in a long, long time, what the hell is going on? Xiao Yikou's heart didn't feel curious.

The man seemed to feel Xiao Yikou's strange eyes, and continued: "I haven't seen what people look like at such a close distance for more than ten years, I was still very young when I came in, and after I was thrown here, every day I only saw a small window on the iron door sticking in and putting the meal away, and when the time came, I took away the dishes and chopsticks, and every once in a while someone shouted outside: Are you alive, squeak." And then I coughed so loudly that if I didn't cough one day, they would think I was dead and wouldn't bring me food, and I was like a living tomb here."

Xiao Yikou was surprised: "Where is this?" ”

The man said: "This is the death row of the police station in the county town of Yanan, and everyone who is locked up here will not live for five days, and I have heard with my own ears that many people have come and gone in this room, and I can't count how many there have been in the past ten years." ”

Xiao Yikou was shocked in his heart, and thought: "Liu Zhengyi is finally going to attack me, it's okay, it's definitely a disaster for him if I'm alive, and he can rest assured when I die, but I don't know what happened to Liu Yefei and them?" Thinking of this, Xiao Yikou's heart welled up with a trace of sweetness.

Xiao Yikou asked, "How could the seniors not be dragged out and executed in this death row?" ”

The man said: "The predecessors don't dare to be, I am more than ten years older than you, I want to be young, just for a woman, I came back from studying in the East, how the woman looks comfortable, I am fascinated, and the woman is also very obsessed with me, no wonder I am young, very handsome, there are still great assets in the family, my father struggled out, but I didn't expect to kill a Cheng bite gold halfway, this Yanan County Police Chief Wang Zhongzhong happened to meet my woman that day, somehow I fell in love with it, I have to marry her as the third aunt, I am young and vigorous, and the family still has financial resources, so I don't want to, that Wang Zhongzhong is not a good bird, seeing that my family is rich, he has a crooked idea, and took the opportunity of my woman to hunt me for the crime of a red element and put me on death row, and take the opportunity to take my family property as my own, since I entered here, I have lost contact with the outside world, and I really don't know how my family is? ”

Xiao Yikou was surprised: "You are the third aunt's good friend?" ”

The man said, "What, you know my woman?" ”

Xiao Yikou said: "If the third aunt is your woman, then the third aunt has already avenged you." ”

"What's going on?" The man asked.

Xiao Yikou told the third aunt about the matter, the man was secretly sad after hearing it, and said faintly: "It turns out that she just can't move her arms and thighs, so she followed the devil director, it seems that I misunderstood her before, thinking that she colluded with the director to harm me, it seems that I was originally executed since I entered this death row, and it may be because of her, so many years seem to have forgotten me, let me fend for myself here until now."

As he spoke, he knelt down, kowtowed to the sky, and said, "The sky has eyes, and the sky has eyes."

As he spoke, the small window on the door opened, and a jailer shouted, "Eat, have wine and meat, eat well, and you will be on your way tomorrow."

Xiao Yikou was lying down and couldn't move, the man walked over and brought the food and put it beside Xiao Yikou, and said: "You eat and drink well, you still have to eat this last meal, otherwise you will be a starving ghost over there, and you will not be reincarnated."

Xiao Yikou struggled to sit up and said, "So much food and wine, you also have two drinks with us?" ”

The man said: "I still have to go back, if they don't squeak and they think that I will stop delivering food after I die, I will really die in this prison, and I want to go out one day."

The man said as he stood in the corner, and the man slowly lowered until he could no longer see his head. The man just disappeared into the room. Xiao Yikou became more and more strange, how did that person get in and how did he get out? Could he be able to work through walls?

Xiao Yikou was about to struggle to climb over to see the wall, but he didn't expect the man's head to come out of nowhere. It turned out that there was a hole, and the man climbed in and out of the hole. When the man came out, he had an extra pair of chopsticks in his hand, and the bowl was full of a bowl of rice and vegetables, but the rice was very yellow and the dish was very watery.

Xiao Yikou said with a smile: "Why does this death row of seniors have this hole? ”

The man said: "I have been here for ten years, no one cares, so I have to save myself, so I began to make holes, hoping to go outside, who knows that in the past ten years, I use chopsticks to knock on the soil day by day, and sometimes pick the dirt with my hands, just yesterday when you came in, I thought I had finally opened up, who knew that the exit of this hole was next door to me, ten years of hard work I was in vain, but it's okay, at least I will no longer be lonely in the future, every death row prisoner comes in and I come over and let him chat with me, Otherwise, I don't know how to pass the time here. ”

Xiao Yikou listened to the man's words and thought to himself: "This person's perseverance is okay, he actually spent ten years to make a hole, although it still didn't get to the outside, but at least there is a dream in his heart and a hope."

The man poured wine from a bowl and said, "Haven't you consulted the little brother yet?" My name is Ye Bucai."

Xiao Yikou took the cup and said: "Little brother Xiao Yikou, I have dreamed of killing devils in this life, even one is enough to comfort my father and parents."

Ye Bucai said: "Little brother, I originally went to study in the East, and I learned from my skills to control the country, but I thought that after returning to China, I had no way to serve the country, but I fell into this living tomb with only four corners, which is sad and sad!" ”

Xiao Yikou was silent, his life was not long, and the blood was not sprinkled on the battlefield to kill the enemy, but was reduced to the cemetery to honor the bad guys, how many people can understand this kind of sorrow? How many people can understand?

Xiao Yikou sighed: "I have the intention to kill the thief, but I can't go back to heaven!" ”

Ye Bucai held the wine glass and couldn't answer anymore. Just when the two of them were drinking in silence, a voice fell from the sky and said: "The eldest husband sighs all day long, but he doesn't want to change his fate, just blindly waiting for fate to change himself, even if he has the intention to kill the thief, it is just a fool's dream, what is the powerlessness to return to the sky?" I want to fight with the sky and the god of death, I don't believe that covering the sky with one hand can cover the sky forever? ”

The two looked up at the sky, and saw a face facing the two of them on the skylight, and the man was holding a burning candle in his hand.
