Chapter 2 Itinerary
Liu Yan was rescued by his father-in-law, and the whole person seemed to have lost his soul. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info lying in the haystack with his eyes open like a puppet, with mixed feelings in his heart, he is still so young, and there are still a lot of things to do, he even thinks it is a dream at this time, and his mother will nag him after waking up.
But the dream was so real, so painful. I don't know what it's like over there, what will happen to my parents when they hear about me, and whether the girl I like will think of me inadvertently. Thinking of this, Liu Yan began to choke, these things are useless, and when the time comes, he will be in a different place
Boom... Several jailers came, one of whom took the lead with a gong in his hand, striking and shouting as he went; Come out for me, hurry. Liu Yan was so frightened that he thought he was going to be pulled out and beheaded, so he drilled back vigorously. But it was discovered by the jailer who took the gong.
I saw the jailer running in and picking up the small stick that struck the gong and slammed it on Liu Yan's back, and shouted in his mouth: You kid listen to the thief, you still run, let you run, let you run... He gave Liu Yan a few more sticks along the way, and his eyes turned black after the beating. Liu Yan, who was in pain, didn't dare to move, and was led out of the prison by the jailer by the collar and came to a clearing. More than a dozen criminals were chained in a row to prevent them from escaping. In front of the open space, there are high courtyard walls, and it is very quiet, and the atmosphere is very similar to a modern shooting field.
Liu Yan is completely blinded now, what kind of life do I have, I'm going to die here inexplicably... Just as he was thinking nonsense, a group of people came in the distance. At first glance, he is an executioner, this person is taller than ordinary people, strong, bearded, especially the pair of big eyes are very infiltrating. After looking at it, the group has come to the front.
The jailer trotted all the way, flattering and half-bent over to a middle-aged man to narrate: Hey, my lord, it's all ready, it's all here. The middle-aged man is the county man before, and the county order is about to go into shock, and it will be difficult to save the lives of the two of them if he doesn't come again. After listening to what the jailer said, the county Cheng gave the captain Wang, who was mistaken for the executioner by Liu Yan, and said, "I said captain, that's all." ”
The captain knew in his heart with a dark face, but he didn't say anything about it just after receiving the money from others. With a cold snort, he thought about the 'criminals' and left.
After Captain Wang looked at Liu Yan and his party one by one, he couldn't help but scold: Grandma, what's the use of giving Lao Tzu a bunch of waste. The county man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed the captain's arm, and said that a small bag of about twenty taels of silver was stuffed into the captain Wang. Captain Wang coughed dryly, pointed at Liu Yan and said: There are still a few useful ones. The county man hurriedly responded, and the two looked at each other and laughed.
Liu Yan, who was watching in broad daylight, straightened his eyes, turned around and asked his father-in-law: Uncle, I heard that Qin Xiaogong is very powerful, and they are not afraid of losing their heads? The old man was surprised: I'm talking about King Qin Xiaowen. Liu Yan understood as soon as he heard it, King Qin Xiaowen was just an aspirant puppet, no wonder the following dared to do this, looking at the posture is not like a killing head, what is going on?
Captain Wang took two steps forward, put his hands behind his back, and shouted: You are all people who have committed crimes in the Qin State, and you should be corrected on the spot. But now the flames have been burning for years, and the people are miserable. As men, we shouldn't die like this, it's worth dying, now I give you the opportunity to make up for it, I hope you cherish it, don't cherish it, if you want to run, don't blame me for being polite....
Liu Yan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to go with this person immediately, and look at the people around him, but they were not very interested, and they frowned and sighed one by one. Liu Yan asked the old man what was wrong, and the old man shook his head and said, "Child, don't listen to what he says so well." Everyone who goes is dead, tired to death, it is better to be beheaded here and here.
Unfortunately, the old man's words were heard by Captain Wang. As soon as the old man's words fell, Captain Wang raised his palm and slapped the old man's face, and the old man fell to the ground in response. The master was afraid that someone would die here, and it was not good for him to check it out from above, so he hurriedly came up to persuade him, Captain Wang is not a person who does not understand the rules. spit out the old man: You old immortal, you wait, don't be played to death by me, hahaha, you two, hold them, let's go. The two soldiers who came with Captain Wang pressed Liu Yan and his party of seventeen people and began their journey to southern Xinjiang....
People are fragile at all times. Like grass mustard, like ants, insulted and slaughtered. How can this kingship understand the suffering of the people?
Liu Yan and his entourage followed Wang Xiaowei out of the prison and went to Xianyang Street, thinking of the scene on TV when those death row prisoners were dragged to the parade, they couldn't help but blush. With his head down, he looked at the straw sandals that leaked out of his thumb and walked forward.
But what he didn't expect was that the people on the street were not too surprised to see them, and they went their own way. Occasionally, one or two people just glanced at it casually and hurried away. It's obviously become commonplace.
In this way, Liu Yan was much more relaxed, but when he thought of his sad fate, he suddenly sank down. At about noon, the group left Xianyang City. A few traders and peasants were hurrying out of the city gate, and as things approached in the distance, the huge Xianyang City gradually disappeared from view.
The pedestrians on the road became more and more scarce, and the few people who saw them from a distance also avoided them. Later, people accepted this cruel reality and began to start talking. Liu Yan also learned about the situation from people's conversations. Captain Wang rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, playing with a delicate dagger in his hand, reflecting a colorful light in the sunlight, Captain Wang's eyes were smiling, he couldn't put down this dagger, and occasionally wiped his cuffs. So he didn't bother to care about the group behind him, so as not to destroy Yaxing.
Liu Yan summed up what they said: these people are kerosene alone, and they are all ordinary people. was caught by the government and used as a scapegoat for those high-ranking officials. And King Qin Xiaowen has just ascended the throne, and the government is unstable, so there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials. The countries on all sides also raised troops against Qin, and the rulers began to use the people as shields. Catch strong men from house to house, and if they are not enough, they will catch the prisoners out and use them as cannon fodder. The person who goes can be described as a life of nine deaths.
Liu Yan is a person who has lived in the 21st century for 20 years, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but scold: What kind of world? No royal law? It's all a bunch of rice buckets? This was a bit loud, and Captain Wang frowned when he heard it. Urging the horse to step forward and lift the whip, he threw a whip at Liu Yan's back. Liu Yan's back was immediately peeled, and the blood soaked through his clothes and stained half of his back. He turned his head and looked at Captain Wang with wide eyes.
As soon as Captain Wang saw him playing tricks, he was annoyed, and pulled out a knife and put it on Liu Yan's neck: Boy, see clearly, the uncle's knife is Wang Fa, don't anger the uncle, otherwise you will be cut with a knife. And you old immortal, there's a lot of nonsense. I slapped the old man next to him with a whip. The old man screamed and fell to the ground.
Liu Yan is a young man in his twenties, who has been humiliated like this, and turned around angrily and planned to fight to the death with this person. But the moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of his father-in-law, who was lying on the ground and glancing at Liu Yan vigorously. Many bean-sized droplets of sweat had already appeared on his dirt-covered forehead.
Liu Yan is also a highly educated intellectual, not a brainless barbarian, and he can still weigh which is more important. He sighed and buried his head down. Captain Wang saw that Liu Yan was stunned, laughed, and touched the beard on his face. He took out his dagger again and went up to play with it.
As soon as he left, Liu Yan immediately went to help his father-in-law; Uncle, are you alright? The old man shook his head, waved his calloused hand and replied: I'm fine, young man, don't be impulsive. My surname is Wen, you can call me Lao Wen in the future, and there will be a response along the way. I'm old, I'm going to die, I'm going to die, you're still young. As he spoke, he moved his feet and pulled Liu Yanyou to hurry.
The sun is still so hot, as if heaven and earth are a huge melting pot that wants to refine everything in the world. Occasionally, a breeze blew in the air, but mixed with the heatwave, made it even more scorching. The official road was empty, except for a few wild dogs lazily walking by.
At that moment, a group of people came from a distance, about twenty people. The leader rode a tall green horse, a suit of armor, a crescent knife across his waist, and called him a pair of linen riding boots. He was followed by two people, riding yellowish horses, half-life armor, and wearing tattered linen official shoes on their feet. Behind the two walked seventeen men, all ragged and wearing straw sandals, and their feet were covered in blisters. What's more, the straw sandals are broken, and the feet and soles are tied together with straw thread.
Seventeen men were chained together by anklets, and they made tinkling noises when they rubbed against the earth as they walked. The skin of his feet was torn, and it was full of coagulated blood clots. People didn't want to waste extra energy to speak, but from time to time someone let out a hissing moan.
This is exactly Liu Yan and his party, Liu Yan walked in the front and wrapped the ankle bracelet around his legs, so that Lao Wen behind him would not be hurt more. Suddenly, Liu Yan felt that someone grabbed him. turned around and saw that it was Lao Wen who fell to the ground, Liu Yan went up and helped the old man and asked him to rest his head on his lap.
Lao Wen asked weakly: How long have you been gone?
It's been five days.
Do you have water in your hydration bladder?
No, which of you has water, Liu Yan raised his head and looked at the others, and everyone shook their heads vigorously. But his voice was too loud, which made the already anxious Captain Wang even more manic. Kicked the big green horse and ran over, and without saying much, he whipped two horsewhips at the back of the old man, and the old man lay on the ground and squirmed slowly in the dirt like a wounded snake, and had no strength to shout, only a low moan.
The captain Wang got angry, cursed a word of trouble, turned around and urged the big green horse to leave. Liu Yan held the iron chain tightly, the green tendons in his hands burst out, and he shook quickly, and the iron chain also shook, tinkling and dingding. Liu Yan whispered; I will kill you,,,
At this time, it had been covered with dirt and cracks, and the thin hand with only bones grabbed Liu Yan's hand. Liu Yan raised his head to look at Lao Wen's deep-set eye sockets, and roared: Lao Wen! l Lao Wen smiled bitterly and shook his head, help me up. With Liu Yan's support. Lao Wen finally struggled to get up, but he swayed back and forth like a tumbler, and finally stood firm but grabbed Liu Yan and walked forward; Don't let him rush it, you have to die with dignity......
Looking at Lao Wen's face full of wrinkles and vicissitudes, Liu Yan slowly buried in his heart to become stronger, to have rights, and never let such a thing happen again.
Many years later, Liu Yan still thinks of this stubborn old man, and every time he thinks of it, he feels sad for a long time, and picks up a pot of old wine to drink with "Lao Wen".
Although my generation is dead, he tries to bow his head in front of the madman.
