Chapter 54: The Scourge of Prison

The night of Fufu Harbor finally came, with a poetic fascination and ghostly desolation, and the breath of death floated on the shore, leaving the bright moon of the day at this time in the world. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info almost a watch, in the silence, the last quarter moon under the canopy of the sky sprinkled a day of cold light, ghosts and buildings, clearly extinguished on the hideous stone lion in front of the prison door of Fufu Harbor, not long after, the door opened, a long and jade beautiful boy dressed in an ordinary cotton shirt, but the temperament is sparse and elegant, I saw him holding a food basket in his right hand, holding a raw pink and cute little boy in his left hand, and a little monkey walked in together. The jailers in the army were all covered with knives, and the first jailer saw the three people, and he was silent, only lit a bright candle and sheepskin lamp, and led them along the bluestone awe-inspiring road, the wind lamp was dim and dark, and walked to the innermost room. The smell of mildew seeped through the weeds, and the smell of blood and the rancid stench of the human body dissipated, and finally, when we reached the door of the cell, the warden ordered the jailer to open the door.

At this moment, I was wearing prison clothes and shackles, and then I raised my head and stood up from the mound covered with thatch. watched Sheng Zheng and Wu Xize's son Wu Feng, as well as his fire monkey "General Kangxiu" come in like this. When the jailer turned to leave, we looked at Sheng Zheng, who smiled bitterly, opened the food basket and said, "I brought some food." This time, thanks to the help of Wu Xize's family, I found the door to come to see you, this kid had to bring his monkey with him, I couldn't help but beg, so I brought him. ”

As I spoke, my eyes drifted to Wu Feng's small face, he seemed to be taller than the last time I saw him, a small white wide-sleeved robe was covered on his body, and there was already a more elegant posture between actions, but he only hung his head sadly on the side, and only said in a half-loud voice, "Uncle Fu, I will bring 'General Kangxiu' to you as a companion." With that, I waved my hand, and the fire monkey immediately threw itself into my arms, crackling the shackles on my shoulders. I had to untie the fire monkey with both hands, and while going over and touching Wu Feng's head, I looked at Sheng Zheng and said, "It's hard for you to bother." ”

After speaking, he smiled bitterly and said, "If I had been willing to listen to what you said and ignore the Jeju people on the turtle boat, I am afraid that there would not have been such a disaster." ”

"General Fu, don't say that," before I could finish speaking, Sheng Zheng immediately interrupted me, looked forward to it for a while, and said to me in a low voice, "General Fu was convicted this time because the highest-ranking Jeju officer Shen Yun'er who rescued him slandered the general, and you deliberately attacked, causing their ten turtle boats to be sunk, but the last general had already privately and carefully questioned the other generals who were rescued by us, who had been able to get out of the western part of Ryukhim, and then let them go to the rescue. General Fu, what you expected was good, it was indeed the same trick. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help frowning and said, "But I don't know what kind of ambush they did in the west of Ryukshima?" ”

"Luo Wei ambushed a swarm of bees in the west of Ryui Island for hundreds of miles, Luo Wei said that 'a swarm of bees', is what we call a 'thunderbolt fireball', it is a bamboo west three sections, a diameter of one and a half inches without a tank crack, the knots are not transparent, with thin porcelain iron filings and gunpowder, sulfur, black oil three or four catties, wrapped in bamboo as a ball, two ends of the bamboo inch, the ball plus Fu medicine, built-in tread lock, once someone steps on the lock, then the ball in the falling stone rolls down, drives the steel wheel to rotate, and the flint continues to rub and ignite and detonate. This object was buried in the ground in various parts of Ryu Island, and when someone approached and stepped on it, it detonated on its own, without the need for manpower. With that, Sheng Zheng pulled me to sit on the thatch on the ground, and said to Wu Feng, "Feng'er, you are now shaking loudly to play with General Kangxiu and covering our voices, understand?" Wu Feng looked obedient to Sheng Zheng's admiration, and according to his words, "Don't run," "Come here" and make a noise, acting very hard. Sheng Zheng gave him a thumbs up and Fang continued to whisper to me, "This group of Jeju soldiers who came to the rescue were killed and wounded only when they set foot on that place, and then they were besieged by the last bit of Luo Washui division on Ryu Island, and if they didn't meet us, they would definitely be killed and wounded." ”

After listening to this, I sighed quietly, looked at Wu Feng, who was still trying to play hard, and felt very nostalgic in my heart, but I just said depressedly, "According to what you say, I understand why this General Shen Yun'er took revenge, he knew that he wrote a letter under pressure and caused heavy casualties to the soldiers of his home country, and he had to pull a scapegrat to find a way to survive for himself." It's a pity that people's hearts are so selfish, I have no grievances with him, my wife is thousands of miles away, but I want to be interrogated and suspected by the officials of the two countries for him. ”

"Beiming never doubted General Fu," this time, Sheng Zheng interrupted me again, he leaned over and tossed the firewood and grass on the ground, picked out a bamboo pole, and then drew it on the ground, saying while drawing, "If Beiming really has any doubts about dealing with the general, then why am I, Sheng Zheng, not imprisoned?" Why didn't the general get his sentence added after he was imprisoned? ”

I saw him draw Prince Ning's small characters and Huang Chun on the ground, and then rubbed the soil next to him with his feet, and continued to me: "General Fu's friends are trying their best to rescue General Fu. Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that Jeju got this flying pigeon letter from General Shen Yun'er, framed the general, and went to Beiming to submit the credentials of the state and made a lot of noise, what if our general in Beiming killed you by mistake? What's more, we saved them at all, but we were bitten back, and I sent the ascertained situation to the truth for 800 miles. It's just because the Jeju people had the best party to fight against each other, for the sake of their own people, they didn't care about etiquette, righteousness and shame, and the kindness of friendly troops to save their lives, they made a fuss, and refused to tell the truth, and there was no evidence for a while, Beiming had to grieve the general for a while, but the general should believe that your friend is unparalleled in wisdom and has a way to come up with a credential to shut up the Jeju villains. ”

I looked at his delicate and smooth palm, although the previous wound had been healed, but it left a shocking scar, compared with his jade-like face and long fingers, his palm was about the only witness of an iron-blooded soldier on his body, so I stroked his palm, as if we were fighting together, and continued, "Although this is the case, according to what the people of Jeju have said, I am afraid that the Lord has not punished me, and our own officials have already come to accuse me of framing me, and spit on and curse. So the Lord will punish me, right? ”

Sheng Zheng shook my hand, held it tightly, and said to me as if he was encouraging, "General Fu rest assured, we are not Xinyue, we like to sell fame and reputation, we don't distinguish between friend and foe, the enemy is current, Beiming is the most expensive businessman and soldier, how can there be literati who don't look at the wind and praise, how can they be like those Xinyue literati, who are good at killing each other if they know half of it, and they don't understand the situation of other people's life and death at all for their own generals and generals, and they don't understand the situation of other people's life and death. ”

"According to you, I can be fine?" I thought about what he said, and it seemed to have some truth, but I also knew that if I wanted to get out of the predicament, I was afraid that it would be hopeless for a while, so I thought for a while, and said, "If you want to stay here for a while, can you use some money to transfer me to a brighter cell, and then go to Wu Xize's house to get some interesting books for me, so that I can pass the time?" ”

Sheng Zheng saw that I had eased up, and what I wanted to say was almost the same, his eyes rolled, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wu Feng, hugged him into his arms with a smile and said, "Okay, Brother Sheng is going to say the same thing to Uncle Fu, Feng'er has anything else to say to Uncle Fu?" ”

I heard Sheng Zheng, who was the same age as me, unashamedly ask Wu Feng to call me "uncle," but to call himself "brother", and couldn't help laughing, "So, I'm a generation older than you." ”

As I spoke, I also held Wu Feng's jade-colored palm-sized hand into my palm and groped, and the fire monkey named "General Kangxiu" reached out to help my hand away every time I touched Wu Feng's hand, repeating it more than a dozen times, and I didn't get tired of it. But Wu Feng's face suddenly became a little red, only two small hands hung down, twisted the placket of his body, and said for a while, "Uncle Fu, when you go out, can you let me go to get together with my mother, Feng'er hasn't seen my mother for a long time." ”

As soon as he spoke, he raised his eyes as clear as good ink jade to look at me, I was a little moved for a while, thinking that I had lost my mother's care at a young age, I couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, but because I didn't know if I could get out of my body, I didn't want to make a promise to the child easily, and write any blank checks, so I only hugged him and said, "If Uncle Fu can go out, I will find a way to arrange for Feng'er to have the opportunity to see Feng'er's mother every year, but Feng'er also has to promise Uncle Fu to be obedient, don't make noise about this matter, Only the three of us know, okay? ”

Wu Feng tilted his head seriously and thought about it, stretched out his little finger, and said seriously, "Okay, Feng'er will definitely do it." Even my father wouldn't tell me. We pull the hook. ”

I looked at him, handed my finger to him, and said with him, "Hang yourself on the hook, don't forget it for a hundred years." ”

But suddenly seeing him look in trouble, he licked his lips and said, "Brother Sheng hasn't pulled the hook yet." After speaking, he stretched out the little finger of his other hand and handed it to Sheng Zheng.

Sheng Zheng smiled heartily, reached out to hook his fingers, and said, "Hang yourself on the hook, don't forget it for a hundred years." ”

The darkness of the prison seemed to be ignited by something warm, and a slight warmth welled up in my heart. Looking around, the three walls are made of one-foot-square stones, impermeable stone walls, and in front of them is a rusty iron gate. Dense sentries and armoured jailers patrolled back and forth not far away. There were also moans and curses from time to time, and the sound was heard in the ears. The apprehension in my heart was resolved a little by the visit of Sheng Zheng and Wu Feng. Just when I wanted to be a little poetic, I might as well "General Kang Xiu" stared at his bronze bell big fire monkey eyes, and looked at me and Sheng Zheng with a fierce light, until we let go of Wu Feng's little hand, and then regained calm.

"Uncle Fu, leave 'General Kangxiu' with you, I asked the jailer uncles, and they said yes." Wu Feng saw that Sheng Zheng had already moved the food out, and was about to lead him away, and suddenly said to me, after speaking, he broke free of Sheng Zheng's hand and ran to my ear, blowing the child's heat and said softly, "Uncle Fu tried the dishes one by one with 'General Kangxiu' before eating, my father said, the food in this cell is easy to do tricks, don't let outsiders harm your uncle, all people, you must not be unguarded." After speaking, he smiled innocently and handed "General Kangxiu" into my arms, then took Sheng Zheng's hand and left obediently. They grimaced at me and "General Kangxiu" step by step, and finally, in my already hot and humid gaze, their backs faded away and finally disappeared into the corridor.

And I was like a deflated ball, placing myself on the firewood and grass, caressing the jumping and restless 'General Kangxiu', and then fell asleep.
