As soon as the execution began, Huaiyong waited by his side. He then reached out the ebony stick in his hand and pointed at the hourglass. Only then did Lao Pi stop, and the turntable stopped.

Bed bug Ho slowly opened his eyes again.

The flogging is over. Two of Lao Pi's men came to scrub the blood from the prisoner's shoulders and backs, anointed him with an ointment that would heal all kinds of wounds at once, and threw a yellow cloth on his back.

At the same time, the old leather shook his blood-soaked and red-stained leather whip, and the blood fell to the stone slab on the ground.

As for Bedbug He, the matter is not over, and he still has to show the public on the stage for an hour, which is an addition to the verdict made by Master Mei in the regiment with great wisdom.

When the villagers first saw him appear on the guillotine, they were overjoyed and jubilant; Later, seeing his torture and the horrible condition in which he was tortured, instead of feeling sorry for him, everyone added a little pleasure and resentment to it.

The women were particularly fierce, and they all had some kind of resentment towards the bedbug, some hated him for being cunning, some hated him for being ugly, and the latter kind of woman was the most ruthless, and hated him so much that she gritted her teeth.

"Phew! Stealing a child's dog stuff should be cut with a thousand cuts! One shouted.

"Phew! Deaf! One-eyed! Hunchback! Ugly! ”

"This ugly appearance can make a pregnant woman scared to miscarry!

All sorts of other curses were pouring down; Boos, curses, laughter, all in one; Here and there, rocks flying.

The bed bugs could be seen clearly, and the anger on the faces of the villagers was no less intense than words. Besides, the stones that came at me could be heard more clearly than the laughter.

At first he held on. However, the endurance that used to grit his teeth and resist the leather whip gradually weakened under the sting of these insects at this time, and he could no longer withstand it.

He first looked around the crowd slowly with a threatening gaze, but because he was so tightly bound, his gaze was not enough to drive away the flies that had bitten his wounds.

So he spite of the ropes and ropes, struggled violently, writhed in rage, and shook the old wheel on the wooden shaft. In this regard, the ridicule and insults became even more ferocious.

This miserable man was like a beast with its head locked, and since it could not break the chains on its body, it had to calm down again. Only from time to time let out an angry sigh, the whole chest swelled, and there was no remorse on his face.

He didn't know what shame was. Besides, how can he be seen that he is deformed to such an extent, and that he is ashamed or not? However, anger, hatred, and despair slowly cast a dark cloud over this strange ugly face, and it became darker and darker, and more and more full of electricity, and the eyes of the cyclops burst into the light of ten thousand lightning bolts.

At this moment, a mule carrying a priest came through the crowd, and the cloudy face of the bed bug He brightened for a moment.

He caught a glimpse of the mule and the priest from afar, and the poor prisoner's face suddenly became pleasant, and a strange smile appeared on his face that had been tense with anger, full of indescribable tenderness, tolerance, and affection.

As the priest got closer, the smile became clearer, clearer, and brighter. The unfortunate man was greeted as if a savior had arrived, but when the mule approached the post of shame, and the mule rider could see who the prisoner was, the priest lowered his eyes, turned back sharply, kicked his spur, and hurried away, as if he were afraid of the ugly bastard's request, and was anxious to get out, and he did not care whether it was a pity or a pity in such a situation, whether it was a tribute or gratitude.

The face of the bed bug Ho was clouded again, and it became even darker. Although there was still a smile in the clouds for a while, it was a bitter smile, a deflated smile, an infinitely sad smile.

Time passed. He had been there for at least an hour and a half, with his liver and intestines broken, and he had been mocked, and he had almost been stoned to death.

Suddenly, with double despair, despite the shackles on his body, he struggled desperately again, and even the entire roulette wooden frame under him was shaken.

He had been silent all along, but then he broke the silence, and his voice was hoarse and fierce, not so much like a human barking as a dog barking, which overwhelmed the ridicule of the crowd, and only heard a roar: "Water! ”

This tragic cry not only did not touch the compassion of the masses, but added a joke to the villagers who watched around.

It should be noted that these rabble, on the whole, are no less cruel and stupid than that terrible gang of beggars. After the unfortunate sinner cried out for thirst, there was nothing but cynicism around him, and no other sound.

It's not false to say, his appearance at this moment is not only pitiful, but even more ridiculous and disgusting. I saw that his face was purple, sweat was profuse, his eyes were confused, his mouth was foaming at the mouth with anger and pain, and his tongue was most of the way out.

After a while, the bug looked around the crowd with a desperate gaze and shouted again in an even more heartbreaking voice, "Water! ”

There was another burst of laughter.

"Drink this!" Old Leather shouted, and threw a rag soaked in the gutter in his face. "Take it, dog thing! I owe you a favor! ”

A woman threw a stone at his head: "Give you a taste of this, and see if you dare to do something bad!" ”

"Hey, boy!" A lame man howls and struggles to beat him with his cane. "Do you dare to do evil?"

"Here's a bowl, scoop water for you to drink!" A man threw a broken crockpot at his chest and shouted, "Just because you walked in front of my wife, she gave birth to a stupid cub!" ”

"And my cat gave birth to a six-legged kitten!" An old woman picked up a tile and threw it at him, screaming.

"Water!" The bed bug was out of breath and shouted a third time.
