Chapter 12: Suffering (Part 1)

The first ruthless prisoner made a deep impression on Zhao Jun and the three of them, and Zhao Jun had some guesses whether he was that person, if so, then he would have to make friends.

In the end, everyone had dinner, Hu Zhao took a few people, and went to the place where the prisoners were active to eat, here is a vacant land that has not been started, there are a lot of dirt slopes from digging ditches, the field of vision is relatively broad, and it is not so stuffy as tents, so after the work is finished, many prisoners will come here to relax, gather together in twos and threes, talk at will, and release the pressure of the dark day.

Zhao Jun felt that Qin Jun's food was still good, at least it could make people full, and occasionally there was meat. Of course, this is also to ensure that the prisoners have sufficient physical strength, so as to speed up the construction period, although the Qin army is strict, but will not be stingy, and the officials are relatively clear.

The next day, the three of Zhao Jun and the seven of Hu Zhao were sent to the northwest of the city to build a channel that seemed to communicate with the river and inject water into the moat.

Zhao Jun and his party of ten people were at the farthest point of this deep ditch, that is, the farthest part of the underground city.

Zhao Jun felt a little strange that the excavation around the city wall could be used as a moat, highly imitating the real city, symbolizing the pattern of the first emperor who also ruled the world after his death.

However, these ditches, stretching into the distance, are a bit unnecessary, is there really a legendary stream of immortals, can lead the underground rivers and seas, and pour into the water of the moat?

It's just that after walking to the northwest, you can't go deeper, and with the Qin sergeant strictly guarding, the Zhao army can only keep this suspicion in mind.

For more than half a month, every day was like this, digging ditches, eating, sleeping, but although the food given by the Qin army was sufficient, the amount of work stipulated was very large, and Zhao Jun saw several people in the past few days, and he died of exhaustion on the spot.

And Zhao Ling also almost fainted a few times in the middle because of his weak physique, even Cao Wushu and Zhao Jun's physique couldn't help but feel tired. Zhao Jun began to slowly become anxious, if he didn't find a way to escape, the three of them would definitely be a dead end here.

According to Hu Zhao, the mausoleum of the first emperor has been built for more than 20 years, and few of them can serve for more than five years without dying, and more than dozens or hundreds of people die every day on average.

"Boss, let's try to escape, if this continues, I will have to kick my legs."

Cao Wuxian's face was bitter, even with his optimistic attitude, it was almost unbearable to endure this kind of life in the tomb of the living dead. Although Zhao Ling didn't speak, but the paleness of her face and the torment in her eyes showed everything, if it weren't for Zhao Jun's comfort every day and telling jokes from her previous life to make her happy, she would have collapsed as a girl.

In fact, even Zhao Jun's tenacity is a little unbearable, working in the dungeon all day long, hard work is one thing, the most important thing is that every day is dark, day and night, plus Qin Jun scolded the overseer, completely living under a kind of high pressure, people with tenacity will collapse in the long run.

Zhao Jun said lightly: "Escape? How to escape? In patience and patience. He was actually more urgent than Cao Wuxian, his original plan was to go to the frontier as soon as possible to make contributions, but he didn't expect to hit the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and there was no way out. However, he knew very well in his heart that he fled in a daze, and he could only be killed by the Qin army.

In the middle, Hu Zhao saw the intentions of the three of them, and persuaded bitterly: "Young man, bear with it." When we first arrived, it was unbearable and we all wanted to escape. However, if you look at it, are there fewer people who try to escape every day and are caught? It's better to die than to live, and I have a thought. ”

"That's what Hu Tou said." Although he did not want to admit it, he was telling the truth. As a last resort, Zhao Jun and the three of them could only continue to dig ditches every day.

They saw a few more times in the middle, the ruthless man who didn't line up for dinner was really awe-inspiring, and even every time he went to work, someone did it for him, and he couldn't see how many times he worked.

On this day, Zhao Ling was working in the ditch, but suddenly fainted, Zhao Jun and Cao Wuxian hurriedly put her down and drank some water before waking up. Zhao Jun asked her to sit next to her and rest, in fact, this is not the first time, the amount of labor here is indeed not something that ordinary people can bear.

"Hu Tou, my brother is tired, his work, I'll help him." Zhao Jun said to Hu Zhao.

Cao Wuxian also spoke: "Yes, the two of us took on his work for him." ”

Hu Zhao was very kind, nodded and agreed: "It's no problem, it should be, everyone in the big guy will share a little, and no one will be in trouble." The rest of the ten people also nodded one after another, and the prisoners working here were united in order to live longer.

However, at this moment, an abominable overseer of the Qin army suddenly took a whip, walked over and shouted: "Get up and work for me, don't pretend to be dead on the ground." After saying that, the whip was still symbolic, and it made a crunch in the air.

Seeing this, Zhao Ling struggled to remember, but after two consecutive hits, he still didn't stand up because of his dizziness.

Cao Wuxian stepped forward and hugged his fists and said with a smile: "This big brother, my little brother has been weak since he was a child, you are considerate, we will help him do his work." ”

"Yes, be merciful and considerate of him." Hu summoned several people, and at this time, they also pleaded one after another.

The head of the army said angrily: "Bah, a pariah dares to call me a brother, hurry up for me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude, if you are capable, some of them are for you to do, don't plead with me here, it's useless." ”

"I," Cao Wuxian's eyes flashed with a hint of anger, and his eyes turned cold.

"Why, if you still want to rebel, you can't do it, see how I teach you untouchables." That Qin Jun suddenly whipped his leather whip and fiercely whipped it towards Zhao Ling, Cao Wuxian's face suddenly changed, he wanted to stop it, but it happened suddenly, and it was too late.

A muffled sound sounded, and the whip that was pumping sharply stopped in mid-air, as if a poisonous snake had been caught seven inches, and it couldn't move at all.

The Qin Army overseer had a blue face, and pulled hard a few places, but his face was red and he couldn't pull it out.

Zhao Jun was expressionless, and grabbed the whip with his left hand, he had already begun to be wary of this Qin Jun, and it was Qin Jun who waved the whip, and he reacted.

The face of the Qin army supervisor changed several times, and he shouted angrily: "Untouchables, get out of the way, are you trying to rebel?" ”

Hu Zhao and the others next to him were taken aback, this Zhao Jun is usually silent, but he didn't expect that he could receive the Qin army's horse whip empty, and he also had the upper hand, which is a lot of strength.

Zhao Jun said coldly: "I said, we will do his work." ”

That Qin Jun was stunned for a moment, his face instantly turned red like congestion, his eyes flashed with rage, and his heart was full of humiliation, at this moment he wanted to call his accomplice Qin Bing to help deal with it, he believed that as long as his accomplice held a sword armor, this person would be a dead word, and he was just an overseer, not with a sword.

It's just that he just wanted to say it and closed it, if he shouted out others, he would inevitably suffer from ridicule, Qin Jun is the most important honor, he was actually picked up by a pariah with a leather whip, how can he have the face to say it, and after it is passed out, he will inevitably become a laughing stock in the army.

With a flash of inspiration, his heart moved, and he suddenly said fiercely; "Okay, don't blame me for not giving you a chance, being ruthless. According to the rules, if you want to work for him, you must do two portions of work, and if you violate the rules and despise the officials, you should be whipped twenty. If you agree to do it now, if you don't, give me the hard work, or be careful that I'll get the crossbowmen and shoot you all here. ”

If Zhao Jun does not agree, then he has a reason to sue Zhao Jun for a slack work and disobedience, and Zhao Jun will definitely die.

When Zhao Jun heard this, his face suddenly moved, this Qin Jun was not easy to arrive, and then he glanced at Hu Zhao, Hu Zhao nodded and said, The rules here are indeed like this, although the whip twenty is generally not carried out by overseers, but they have this convenience.

Seeing this, Zhao Jun turned his head and glanced at Qin Jun coldly, and said indifferently: "Okay, I'll come." ”

That Qin Jun was swept away by Zhao Jun's gaze, and his heart trembled suddenly, as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast, this feeling, he only felt it once in the first ruthless person of the prisoner, no, it was more powerful than that person's gaze.

It's just that as soon as he heard that Zhao Jun agreed to his request, he suddenly felt a burst of pride in his heart, and his face quickly turned hideous, Lao Tzu is not a man if he doesn't torture you well today.

"Boss"

"Brother"

"Army Brothers"

In an instant, several people screamed, this Qin Jun obviously intended to torture Zhao Jun, but it is conceivable that he will not show mercy to his subordinates.

"Okay, haha, then get the whip first and get to work." The Qin army supervisor sneered, looking at Zhao Jun's eyes were all vicious, he was whipped first, and he was covered with injuries to work, which was much more difficult than his normal work.

Zhao Jun's face was still cold, his body straightened, and he turned his back to the overseer and said coldly: "Come on." ”

"Hehe, I'll see how long you can get hard." The Qin Army's overseer smiled fiercely, then raised his long leather whip high and slammed it on Zhao Jun's back.

'Smack'

Everyone's faces changed, Cao Wuxian's eyebrows jumped fiercely, this Qin army supervisor was obviously the most ruthless, but Zhao Ling's face was pale, and tears almost flowed out.

The Qin army supervisor smiled proudly, but when he saw Zhao Jun's face, he still hadn't changed, his brows didn't blink, he was suddenly angry, and then he twitched his whip more fiercely and hit Zhao Jun.

"I'll make you hard, see if you can be hard in time."

'Bang Bang'

One after another, Zhao Jun's back quickly turned bright red, and the blue and red whip marks crisscrossed and blurred with flesh and blood.

"Boss" Cao Wuxian's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched tightly and he glared angrily at the Qin Army supervisor, his eyes breathing fire.

Zhao Ling couldn't hold back his tears at this time, and cried, "Brother, it's all my fault."

The Qin Army Supervisor laughed coldly while whipping fiercely at this time, but Zhao Jun did not, frowned, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, as if he was laughing at the Qin Army Supervisor for beating too lightly.

After twenty whips, Zhao Jun no longer had a good place on his entire back, but his upright body was still as strong as a mountain, and he said coldly: "But it's over?" ”

"You" The overseer was agitated by Zhao Jun, and his chest was suddenly filled with depression, and his face turned purple with anger.

"Okay, good boy, now work for me immediately, if you don't work enough, you won't be allowed to eat, I'll watch here!"

Zhao Jun didn't say a word, turned around and picked up the tools, bent down to work, as if the whip just now was not hitting him.
