Chapter 22: Poor physical strength
I tiptoed out and said to a small hole covered by iron nets, "Can anyone take me to see this place?" β
"Please wait, I'll be there shortly." A crisp female voice came out of the loudspeaker above my head, "We're eating in the cafeteria, snail powder, do you want one?" β
"Okay." I replied, "Thank you, part of the reason I came to Guangxi is because of this ......."
Soon, a girl about my age appeared in front of me. Through her thick glass lenses, I felt like looking directly into her eyes would make me spin the world instantly.
It's not love...... Her lenses were just too thick, even though the face under the glasses was delicate.
"Hmm......" The girl "um" for a long time, and finally said, "What should I call you?" Young master? Master? Master? Or is it Si Gong? Uncle? Boss? bossοΌ Shopkeeper? β
I squeezed my brow: "You've seen so many people?" Have they all been here?
The girl smiled softly, apparently aware of her loss.
"Call me Li Xiao. I've never been so shocked as I am today...... I still have such a big 'property'. I raised my head, "Lead the way, go eat snail powder." I'm finally feeling a little hungry now. By the way, what's your name? β
"My name is Ya." The girl said.
"It's called Ya?"
"Hmm."
"It's called Ya, is the cafeteria far from here?" I said it with what I thought was humorous.
"It's not far, right next to the cell." Ya silently led the way in front and said calmly.
I smiled self-deprecatingly and said solemnly, "Are you just calledβYa, this word?" β
"I used to have a last name, but that was when I was very young and I can't remember it anymore."
"Oh? How long have you been here? I wondered.
"Seventeen or eighteen years."
"So you're from here?"
"No, it's seized. My people told me that our ancestral home was Hangzhou, and that many, many years ago we guarded the tomb of a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. Boss Wu arrested us to make us atone for our sins, because we did not fulfill our responsibility to guard the tomb...... The tomb was smashed and the remains of loyal ministers were destroyed. Our tomb keepers have been through generations. β
"And this reason for detention?" I frowned and said, "I have accepted it on behalf of others, and I will help you ask Wu Dongqiang for clarification in a while." β
Ya's footsteps paused, and he shook his head silently: "During that period, the news was closed, and even Qin Wuye could only live in a village in a small city in Hebei, not to mention other people...... Steward Wu didn't know it at the time, and he was still young, but he arrested our whole clan because of a moment of righteous indignation. Many years ago he tried to make amends to our people, but by then it had been four or five years since we were imprisoned, and we had become accustomed to life here until the end of the eight years......"
"Then why didn't you leave?"
"Fifth Master Qin left me behind."
"Leave you? Do what? β
"Wait for someone."
"Waiting for whom?"
"I only know that his name is Li Xiao."
"Li Xiao......" I stopped, "Which Li Xiao are you talking about?" β
Ya tilted her head and said lightly: "It doesn't matter to me who it is." β
This was the end of my conversation with Ya, until we entered the cafeteria, where dozens of people were seated.
"Come with me to the staff cafeteria, it's full of prisoners who are still serving their sentences."
Ya led me through the crowd, through the crowd, and I felt no breathβthe breath of a living person.
"Ya, these people ......"
"To live, to live to live. There's food, drink, play, and fun, and they have a better environment than the foreigners who need to be monitored in their cells, but that's not life. Give the walking corpse an eight-year hope, eight years, a total of 2,922 days, a total of 7,012 hours, a total of 4207680 minutes and 252460800 seconds. Steward Wu didn't tell you - the eight years he said meant the eight years after he was no longer locked by the prison door, after he 'realized'. Ya pushed open the door with "Staff Canteen" written on it, "Please come in." After the meal, I will take you to examine this world forgotten by the gods. β
In the "staff cafeteria", I met the four people who had previously cleaned up Toms's corpse and some smart faces. Although they whispered in a low voice far away from me, these were the four most normal people I had seen here.
Accompanied by Ya, I occupied a large table and ate snail noodles until a man came to tell me that Wu Dongqiang had returned to the station from the secret passage.
I wasn't in a good mood to eat this bowl of snail noodles, which was not as good as I wanted, until the man finished speaking to me, and I pushed the bowl to the ground: "You, take me and her up." β
"You can, she can't......"
"Why?" I glared at him, and I was trying to suppress my anger.
"You're not the master here." He looked at me calmly, a fake smile on his face.
"And who's the master here?" I stood up, grabbed him by the collar, and shouted, "Who do you say?" β
There was a commotion in the distance in the crowd, and through the sides of the neck of the man I was dragging on, who was still pretending to be smiling, I saw the men hurrying to report to their higher-ups.
A large man armed with a whole body squeezed in through the door and ran towards me with a stick. They shouted "let him go", "let him go", "let him go".
"It's really against you." I glared at the man in my hand, and I was confident that I would break the bridge of his nose with one punch.
"You are the young master of those people in the outer world, not ours. We only believe in Qin Wuye, and only believe in Qin Wuye's messengers - Liu Sigong and Wu Steward. It doesn't matter to me who you are, the important thing is that you break the rules here, you have to die first. β
"I'm dead? All right! I'll see how you let me die! "I punched the man in the face hard, my hand hurt and I believe he hurt even more.
The guards around me picked up their sticks at me, and I was determined to fight them to the death at this moment, because I finally understood one thingβwithout the name of Fifth Master Qin, I was nothing in their eyes.
Am I something in Wu Dongqiang's eyes? What about Liu Songming and Lu Fengqin? What about the fat man? What about Ercui? What about Li Ergou? And the multitudes of people I know and know me?
I'm just a kid blinded by nothingness of power......
"Stand down, you guys." Ya stood in front of me, pointing at the tall, strong guards, and said viciously, "He doesn't belong here, and I should have been released five years, five months, and five days ago." I fit the rules of this world. β
Those big men were stunned by Ya's words.
The man I knocked to the ground stood up with the blood on his face and said to the guards, "Go and check, tell me when you're done." He pointed to Yadao, "If what you say is true, you can go with him." He pointed at me again, "You did a good punch on me." I only half belong to this world, and because of this punch, I judge you for a fight. In the name of Qin Wuye, the original detention of 6 hours was now changed to 3 hours. β
The guard began to move again, and his expression was clearly that the hunter saw his prey.
"He's been here for three hours." Ya raised the back of her hand to the man's eyes.
The air froze, and only the watch in her hand was still ticking.
The man sighed and stopped the guard who was about to swallow me with saliva. He pointed at me and pronounced the sentence: "Three hours have come, and your punishment is over." β
"Report." I heard someone from the outer layers report to the man, "The prisoner, Ya, should leave the world of God eight years, five months, and seven days ago." β
"Eight years, five months and seven days ago? Who allowed her to stay here for eight more years, five months and seven days? This is against the laws of God's world. The man's peace was shattered by an inexplicable force, and he roared angrily, "Who is it?" Who is it? β
"Fifth Master Qin." Ya pushed her glasses and said.
"It's God...... "The man muttered, "Our God is sinless." He cried out, "Our God is sinless." β
The man fell to his knees, and in an instant, all the people around him fell to the ground layer by layer. Waves of voices rolled up layer by layer, and they chanted, "Our God is sinless." "Until they merge into one voiceβ
"Our God is sinless."
Ya carefully stepped over the body of the guard who had fallen to his knees and surrounded me and walked up to me, and whispered, "You still won't take me away?" She pushed her glasses and said, "I saved your life." You are playing the arbiter of this world. β
I smiled contemptuously: "Arbiter, is it powerful?" β
Ya rolled her eyes at me, "There is also a law in God's world, when all the life in God's world worships God, God will forgive some people's sins and turn their sins on outsiders. You, and I, are now outsiders. β
"Huh?" Suddenly, I didn't dare to pretend anymore, and hurriedly asked, "How long is this ceremony?" β
Yafeng looked at his watch lightly: "Ten minutes." There are less than 8 minutes left. After speaking, she looked at me lightly, "I don't care, I've been here for seventeen or eighteen years, what am I afraid of?" If Fifth Master Qin came to save you, you might have been assimilated here a long time ago. β
". Then you're still talking, run! "I grabbed Ya and started running through the crowd, no matter whose body, feet, arms, or hands I stepped on...... These numb people, without uttering a single cry, still worshipped religiously.
Ya smiled like a peach blossom, and the glasses didn't know when they were thrown into the wind. She shouted at me, "Hey, Li Xiao. Fifth Master Qin told me that you would give me a surname, what is it? β
I pulled Ya but didn't feel a bit of a drag. Originally, I thought that this little girl would definitely not have good physical strength if she didn't see the sun all year round, but I didn't think that she was an ordinary person. Turning my head and I glanced at her, and for a moment I was in a trance - her eyes were clear and bright, and there was no trace of what a short-sighted eye should look like.
"I, give you the surname Qin, the same surname as God."
Ya rolled her eyes, but she still kept moving, and she actually overtook me and dragged me to run.
Opening the door of the secret passage, we ran all the way to the end. I pointed to the door and said, "Comrade Qin Ya, you are welcome to the new world. β
"No, for me, this is the world of gods." Qin Ya looked at me, "God, please blindfold me, the sun has taken my eyes, and I will never see you again." β
"Little girl, where did you learn these words?"
"You stand on the bridge and look at the view, and the people watching the view are watching you from upstairs. The bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams. Qin Ya smiled and burst into tears.
The wall mechanism was turned on, and Wu Dongqiang was anxiously pacing in the room.
"Young Master......" When Wu Dongqiang saw me, there was surprise, surprise, and some panic in his eyes.
"You close the curtains first." I covered Ya's eyes with my hands, raised my head and motioned for Wu Dongqiang to take a snapshot of what I said.
Wu Dongqiang hurriedly pulled the curtains, turned around and immediately moved a chair. He flattered, "Quick, quick, let her sit down first." After speaking, Wu Dongqiang gave me a few glances and asked me to go out to talk to him.
I deliberately and unhurriedly instructed Qin Ya to sit on the chair and let go of my hand: "You adapt to it again." I'll go out for a bit. β
Wu Dongqiang was already waiting for me at the door at this time, and when he saw me coming out, he closed the door of the study. He said incoherently: "Young master, I really didn't expect it...... The place I just took you to, my rights are also limited...... I really didn't expect you to have a conflict with Duan Sigong......"
Paragraph ...... Si Gong? Si Gong? I furrowed my brows, "Si Gong? β
"He's got a bit of a problem with his brain...... Old stubborn ......" Wu Dongqiang pointed to his head and hesitated, "Duan Sigong is actually the southern Sigong of the previous generation of Lu Fengqin Sigong, and now ...... Now he is at least in his seventies...... Brainless, brainless...... The passage was locked just now, and the people inside could get out, but the people outside couldn't get in......"
"More than seventy? Nonsense, he's only thirty-one or twelve years old at most! I was so angry, this Wu Dongqiang didn't want to find a better reason to be perfunctory, I continued, "Even if people can live forever, their faces will always be old, you are lying to me." β
Wu Dongqiang forced a smile and said with a smile: "You dissipate your anger first, this matter is also unexpected by me." Well, I thought I'd get you something delicious and try our specialties...... How did you know that such a ...... came But......" he said with a straight expression, "Don't say it, I heard Lu Sigong mention it when chatting, Duan Sigong once represented Qin Wuye to participate in an organization called 'China Relief Association', and historical materials can be checked." As for why you said he looked so young, maybe Qin Wuye gave him some medicine to rejuvenate. β
I shook my hand: "Don't talk nonsense with me. As long as you are human, you can't violate the laws of nature. There is a Li Qingyuan who has lived for more than 200 years, and Chen Jun, who has lived for 443 years in Yongtai County, Fujian. Not to mention how many people in China have lived a long life since ancient times, which good person in his seventies have you ever seen who can be as old as he was when he was established? β
Wu Dongqiang smiled noncommittally: "Young Master, do you remember the miracle I mentioned to you?" He raised his hand and pointed to the location of the secret passage in the study, "Duan Sigong spent half of his time going there to adjudicate the fate of the people we captured, and half of his time walking in various stations of our organization across the country to practice the blessings of the Fifth Master of Qin, he is a miracle of life." Wu Dongqiang tiptoed into my ear and said, "Otherwise, why do you think Fifth Master Qin can easily rule the foundation that the five masters of the Qin family have saved together?" Among them, I won't talk about the art of conspiracy, but the only one who can perform miracles is Qin Wuye. β
"Five Qin family masters?"
Wu Dongqiang straightened his body and said with a smile: "Our group of people who follow Qin Wuye's men don't know much. That is, just a few words. If you want to know about your family, you have to ask Fifth Master Qin in person, or ask Duan Sigong......"
"That old ghost ......," I pouted, "and he must have wanted to kill me." β
Wu Dongqiang raised his eyebrows and said, "You're really right, we all call him Duan Old Ghost in private." Wu Dongqiang clapped his hands, pointed to the study, and said, "By the way, eat, eat." The girl's name is ...... Call...... It's called Ya. Don't say it, it's a shame to put this girl down there, that's a martial arts champion for five years in a row! β
"Fighting?" I was surprised.
"The place down there, except for the fact that the range of activities is so large, everything is available. That is an independent society established by Qin Wuye...... Qin Wuye, Hongfu Qitian ......" Wu Dongqiang whenever he mentioned the name "Qin Wuye", the worship and piety in his eyes were undoubtedly revealed.
I remembered what Wu Dongqiang had said to me at the beginning, interrupting his praise for Qin Wuye: "Stop, stop." Brother Wu, didn't you say that the place underground was built by you with full authority? β
"No......" Wu Dongqiang said with his hands back, "Heaven and earth conscience, I didn't say that." I mean, encourage each station to learn from me, dig a secret room under the station, hide the artifacts and those old things in it, and then give them to the state one by one according to my training method. β
"I estimate that you people, including Brother Liu and Brother Lu, will not lack treasures in your hands as long as you go to the ground. Gotta learn like you, this thing is worth promoting. I sighed a few words, and then changed my words, "Don't say it, I haven't donated any of the things I have collected in the past two years, and I have resold them all." Compared with your ideological consciousness, I really can't compare. β
Wu Dongqiang smiled "hey, hey, hey".
I thought to myself:, you are Liu Songming confessed to deceive me, right? You don't have to hand over things to the state, you just draw a map of the locations of each tomb and hand it in! I'm a fool, right?
I thought to myself, and I gestured a thumbs up in my hand: "Consciousness is high!" Admire! Terrible! β
Wu Dongqiang laughed with me for a while, and proposed, "Let's eat?" β
"Okay." I immediately agreed, "You wait a minute, I'll have to shout Ya together." β
As I spoke, I pushed open the door and entered the study, and at this time, Qin Ya was looking at a copy - "The Charming Sea". I walked up to her and whispered, "It's time to eat." When I saw that the curtains were not opened, I asked again, "Why didn't you look at the world outside the window?" β
Qin Ya closed the book, stood up, and raised her head to look at me: "I have pieced together a complete world from the book, but the reality may not be better than the book. β
I smiled and said, "Maybe it will be better." β
"Maybe......" Qin Ya tilted her head, "Let's go, go and see what Steward Wu has prepared for you." β
Although Qin Ya had been deliberately pretending to be amazed at the world outside that world, she still carefully looked at every plant and tree in Wu Dongqiang's house.
Wu Dongqiang led the two of us to the restaurant, which was very large, Western-style, and had a long table.
"Brother Wu, you're really ...... here," I pondered for a long time before describing, "luxurious." β
Wu Dongqiang beckoned his subordinates to serve the dishes, and reported the name of the dishes on the side for each dish and explained the methods of these dishes.
I remember it very well: boiled beef with jade bamboo, fried pork floss with osmanthus, duck with lotus leaves, fried chicken balls with horseshoe, ? Lipu taro button meat ...... This meal was particularly hearty, and I almost found the feeling of being an emperor in this meal.
Qin Ya had already eaten, but under the temptation of this table of delicacies, she couldn't help but eat some.
Wu Dongqiang took advantage of Qin Ya's eating skills to give me glances from time to time, probably asking me how I felt about Qin Ya...... Is he pimping in disguise?
Even after eating, Wu Dongqiang asked someone to arrange a room for me and Qin Ya, in his words, it was a journey of labor, and I would start playing again tomorrow, and let me communicate with Qin Ya today to exchange feelings.
This bedroom is probably the best of Mr. Wu's villa β huge floor-to-ceiling windows, Western-style furnishings and dΓ©cor, and a double Simmons bed.
Qin Ya took the initiative to sit on the bed, and I sat on the sofa opposite and watched her in a daze.
Actually, I was really sleepy, but what I was thinking about was why this Wu Dongqiang had so much money...... Even Lu Fengqin and Liu Songming, who I am familiar with, are almost above 10,000 people in their organization, and they don't necessarily have a famous brand on them.
I also asked Liu Songming on the train: "Brother Liu, this is a new society, can't you have a BP machine or Big Brother?" β
Liu Songming's answer was concise: "I won't use it." Don't want to learn. Waste of time. β
Remembering the phone, I looked around the room. Sure enough, there was a turntable phone on the sofa table. I picked up the phone and dialed home, but the phone didn't make a sound at all, and it didn't start ringing until ten seconds later.
I miss my big brother so much at this moment...... If I hadn't dropped the phone to save the fat man, at least I would have been able to find someone to talk to...... I wanted to cry a little without tears, and I decided to ask him to pay me a new big brother next time I saw the fat man.
"You ......" Qin Ya hesitated for a while and said, "Isn't there anything you want to say to me?" β
I smiled awkwardly, and I didn't know which tendon broke the string: "After watching "The Charming Sea", I suggest you take a look at "The Old Man and the Sea......"
"Oh." Qin Ya lowered her head and rubbed her fingers, and for a moment the room fell silent again.
"That...... Are you going to sleep? I broke the silence because I couldn't keep my eyelids open.
Qin Ya blushed in shame, and didn't dare to look at me when she lowered her head: "Then I'll go take a bath first?" β
Do you still have to take a shower before going to bed? Yes?
I nodded, "yes, okay." β
After Qin Ya entered the toilet, I threw myself on the bed, and I didn't know where I was when I closed my eyes.
I woke up the next morning with a thin quilt on my body, and the warm sunlight was just right on my face. I saw Qin Ya standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze, so I twisted my body and tried to sit up.
"Mom! Where's my clothes? "I screamed because I was stripped naked while I was sleeping!
Qin Ya turned her head sideways and smiled at me, she was wearing a pink pajamas, her long hair along her cheeks was reflected by the sun with a slight grape red, very beautiful.
Qin Ya pointed to the head of the bed and said, "Steward Wu sent someone to deliver dinner last night, and I saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I asked them to put it on the table." Well, your nanny took the clothes and washed them, and I guess they will be delivered in a while. β
"Then ......" I pointed at myself and then at Qin Ya, "Have we slept?" β
Qin Ya nodded sideways, her eyes were like water, and her face was glowing with shyness.
"Then ......" I looked at Qin Ya helplessly, "will I get pregnant?" I haven't decided to have a baby yet. β
Qin Ya turned her back and said, "I don't know either." β
Hey...... Before I knew it, I lost my virginity after a sleep......
