Chapter 136: Wei Xu Kai
"Thank goodness you're finally awake. ”
In Pang Yuan's ears, a young voice sounded, with a thick hoarse voice.
Someone!
Pang Yuan raised his eyes vigilantly, and his body subconsciously tightened his guard.
It's just that he moved slightly, and his movements slightly touched his muscles and bones, and what followed was a thick feeling of weakness and weakness and severe pain.
He couldn't help but let out a few painful snorts, and fell on his side on the simple and rough bed, and for a while, he could see the appearance of the person who came.
This is a young man in ragged clothes, with an ordinary appearance, looking young, and the fluff at the corners of his mouth has only just faded.
The young man's eyes were habitually cringing, and at this moment, he looked at Pang Yuan, who had woken up on the bed, and let out a cry of surprise.
The young man looked at Pang Yuan very uncomfortable, and he hurriedly stepped forward to help him up carefully.
And use pillows and other objects to raise his back position, so that Pang Yuan can feel as comfortable as possible.
Pang Yuan was seriously injured and extremely weak, and the young man in front of him saw no signs of malice, so he did not resist, and obediently let it go.
At the same time, the young man handed over a bowl of water, but the water did not seem to be very clean, and there were many impurities at the bottom of the bowl.
The young man held Pang Yuan's shoulders and wanted to help him drink.
Pang Yuan was already thirsty, his throat was dry and hoarse, his lips were cracked, and he didn't care whether the water in the bowl was clean or not, so he swallowed it heavily.
"Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~"
He drank in a hurry, and soon drank up the entire bowl of water.
The water went down to his stomach, and the coolness was surging, Pang Yuan felt a little more comfortable, and the hot pain on his body seemed to be slightly reduced.
"Thank you. ”
"But, who are you, and where am I?"
Whispering a word of thanks, Pang Yuan was full of doubts that needed to be answered urgently at this time, and asked out loud with difficulty.
He was anxious to find out what was going on.
"This is Lianshan City on the border of the Great Wei Kingdom, and we are now in a black prison in it, which is heavily guarded and notorious. ”
"My name is Xu Kai, and I was originally from the Great Wei Kingdom, but at the beginning, the army came to our village to forcibly pull Zhuang Ding, and I didn't want to be cannon fodder to die, so I secretly escaped and fled here. ”
"Later, because I had no identity, I was captured by those people, became a slave, and was sent directly here, and it has been almost two years now. ”
The young man's name is Xu Kai, and when he recalls the original scene, his expression can't help but be a little gloomy.
"What about you, what's your name?"
Xu Kai turned his head to look over, his face was a little curious, he had taken care of this new companion for a long time, and he still didn't know the name of this cellmate.
"Pang Yuan. ”
Pang Yuan fell into deep thought, suddenly heard Xu Kai's inquiry, and said slowly in a low voice.
"Speaking of which, you're a great blessing. ”
"Two days ago, when you came to our cell, you were covered in blood, you didn't know if you were alive or dead, and you were dragged in by that disgusting group of jailers. ”
"During this period, you have been unconscious, I have been taking care of you, you can't eat at that time, I can only feed you some thin porridge or soup, I thought you couldn't survive. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Kai scratched his head and grabbed a few thin grass stalks in his hair.
He smiled slightly, and his tone was relaxed, but also a little heartfelt surprise.
"However, fortunately, now that you have woken up, I think if you can slowly cultivate quietly, your physical condition will gradually improve. ”
Pang Yuan leaned on the bed, breathing slowly, listening to Xu Kai's chatter while carefully looking at the environment he was in.
He was in a dilapidated cell with dark light, the area was extremely small, Pang Yuan estimated that it was only ten steps away from walking around the cell.
Inside the cell, there was only a simple bed made of dirt and gravel, and a few tattered mats on it, at most enough space for two people to sleep.
The thick walls next to it are made of huge stones mixed with earth, which is extremely hard and heavy.
This cell has no windows.
Just above the high wall, there was a narrow pitiful vent, about the size of a fist, that let in a few rays of light.
The cells were so strong and well-guarded that the slaves didn't even want to escape.
The cramped cell was a little dim, the air was slightly muddy, difficult to circulate, and the humidity was heavy.
in the corner.
A filthy commode was placed haphazardly there, specially for human filth, and was covered with a wooden lid, still emitting a foul smell.
The cells were made of solid wood and covered with a thick layer of iron, each of which was the size of an arm.
The opening and closing of the cell door was held in place by a strangely shaped iron lock, and the key was only in the hands of the jailers, who kept it close to them.
Outside the cramped cell was a long, wide, corridor that was dimly lit and blackened.
On the opposite side are several cells of the same style, in which prisoners sleep in their heads, and the situation inside is unobstructed.
"By the way, Xu Kai, are there only two people in our cell, you and me?"
Pang Yuan keenly noticed that the number of slaves in the other cells he saw seemed to be more and different, so he asked directly.
Hearing Pang Yuan's doubts, a somewhat sad look appeared on Xu Kai's face, and he was rarely silent.
After a while, he spoke slowly.
"No, not long after you came here, less than a week ago, there was another person in this cell who lived here with me. ”
"However, the man had been chosen a few days earlier to fight the beast and enter the Colosseum for the rich to watch and amuse. ”
"He went out that day and never came back, and was torn to pieces by a raging lion, and I still remember the desperate look in his eyes as he left his cell. ”
Pang Yuan listened silently, and his heart was a little shocked, the cruelty here was far beyond his imagination.
"In the black prison, in addition to the daily hard work, a large number of slaves will also select several slaves as candidates for animal slaves every once in a while, to fight those ferocious beasts for people's amusement. ”
"Unless there are some extremely tough murderers, few of those selected slaves can survive smoothly, and ten of them will be directly buried in the belly of the beast!"
Xu Kai continued to whisper, his tone was full of deep sadness, and there was a hint of deep fear.
"I've been here for more than two years, and I'm lucky, there are many slaves in the Black Prison, and I haven't been drawn, but no matter how good my luck is, I will run out one day, maybe the next candidate will be me. ”
"And with my strength, there will definitely be no miracles, it can be said that I will die!"
"I really don't want to die......"
At this moment, Xu Kai's fists were clenched tightly, his lower lip was bitten, and under the emotion, his slightly thin body even trembled slightly.
Pang Yuan sighed in his heart, his mood was complicated, and he didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only watch quietly.
However, Xu Kai had been through a lot after all, and soon adjusted his mood, a smile resurfaced on his face, and he no longer talked about these topics.
He understood that the problem that threatened his life was difficult to solve, and there was almost no one to help, so he could only choose to keep this depression and anxiety in his heart.
Recalling the tragic experience of his previous companions, Xu Kai talked about these things with Pang Yuan today, but he just expressed his depressed feelings slightly.
"But, Pang Yuan, you shouldn't have to worry about being chosen right now. ”
"You were seriously injured when you came, and you were unconscious all the time, and you don't know whether you live or die, and it's basically just a thin line. ”
"I remember that the stern guards in black had also instructed that even if you woke up, you would not be required to participate in the daily work for the time being, and that you would stay in your cell until you could act. ”
"Therefore, Pang Yuan, you should still be relatively safe now, you don't need to worry too much, what you have to do is to recover as soon as possible and take care of your injuries. ”
Xu Kai comforted Pang Yuan, and even a little envious, he felt that his new companion did not need to worry for the time being.
In his opinion, although Pang Yuan was seriously injured and dying, it was difficult to move, although it was very pitiful.
However, in exchange for a slightly comfortable recuperation time, there is no need to worry about the threat of life.
It's really a blessing and a curse.
As for the specific reason why Pang Yuan was injured in such a terrifying condition, Xu Kai was very wise, deliberately controlled his curiosity, and did not ask.
This new companion of his own, Pang Yuan, has a majestic body, although he is extremely weak, he is still extraordinary, far beyond ordinary people, and he is not an ordinary person.
However, despite this, Pang Yuan was still seriously injured.
Coupled with the orders of those black-clothed guards, I am afraid that some of the matters that may be involved in it are not at all something that he can touch by a poor little person.
He still has these self-knowledge.
Xu Kai has been able to live until now, and naturally understands that sometimes, knowing too much is not good for himself.
Many times, because of unnecessary curiosity, while getting close to the so-called truth, it is very likely that you are also unknowingly close to danger.
Therefore, Xu Kai was able to restrain himself and keep his mouth shut sensibly, which was really a wise move to protect himself.
