Chapter 22 Passing the trial
I hurriedly said, "Big brother, you are a master!" Do you know how to get this fox demon out? ”
He said coldly: "I know, but now that you and I are in prison, we can't use it if we know, what's the use." ”
As soon as he said that, I became curious. According to the conversation just now, it is obvious that this person is from Yumen, but he claims to be a postdoctoral fellow at Fudan. Didn't Tan Jian say that the people in the Yumen hate outsiders and don't have contact with the outside world?
What's the matter with this man?
Thinking of this, I asked.
The man hung his head slightly, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, so he only replied coldly: "Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, winning all battles, our people don't like to come into contact with outsiders, but in order to survive, we have to send some people out, know what kind of world is outside, otherwise, something will happen sooner or later." ”
So that's the case, so to speak, the people of Yumen are not completely isolated from the world?
"Then why are you being locked up here?"
This time, he didn't answer me, and sighed tiredly, I don't know if it was my delusion, and in that sigh, there seemed to be infinite pain, and since then, the whole cell has fallen into a dead silence, no matter how I speak, the other party will not say a word.
The prison in this place doesn't seem to be closed very often, so it's quite clean, and the pile of straw in the corner should be freshly laid, and there is a unique fragrance of hay when lying down. I fell on it, thinking about what to do.
The people in the feather gate are so unfriendly, how can I move them to help me?
No, the most important thing now is not this, but whether I can get out of this prison.
Trapped in a prison and searched for things like watches, it was difficult to detect the passage of time, and I don't know how long the little man brought us something to eat. It's not as exaggerated as in the TV series, but it still pays attention to nutritional matching, two meat and one vegetable, the taste is a little too light, and the portion is relatively small.
I haven't eaten rice and meat dishes for two or three days, so I can't care so much, so I picked up the bowl and ate it clean.
Suddenly, the little man took away the dishes and chopsticks, threw a water bag to us, and left again.
In this way, I ate three meals and slept a lot, and I guess I have been locked up for two days. What's more fucked up is that they don't give paper, and I was in a hurry, and after pooping on the barrel, I realized that there was no paper around to wipe my ass.
What can I do?
I called the little man over and asked him to take the paper, he kicked the fence and yelled: "You think you are a guest, I tell you, don't call me if you don't die, if you don't have anything to do, I will beat you to death." ”
I squatted on the barrel, and I felt the urge to cry without tears, and after a while, I asked the guy opposite: "Hey, what do you use to wipe your ass after living here for so long?" He glanced up at me, then finally pointed to the hay in the corner.
Well, in the end, you have to resort to the most primitive methods. I pouted and moved over, grabbed a handful of hay, and wiped my ass hot, and it was only then that I deeply admired the man who invented toilet paper.
After being locked up like this for two days, I felt more and more anxious, and at first you could still think about how to get out of it as a distraction, but when you found out that there was no way to escape from this hellish place, and the reality would not dramatize the sudden arrival of someone to rob the prison, it was very desperate.
Are they going to lock me up for the rest of my life?
Probably not, I have to keep it every day for the rest of my life, and instead of being so troublesome, maybe they will kill me directly.
But even if it's only locked up for ten days and half a month, I can't stand it, in this hellish place, the only thing worth looking forward to every day is eating, and the only cellmate is a bitter and bitter and silent stuffy gourd, and if it continues like this, sooner or later it will collapse!
Fortunately, the situation took a turn for the better on about the third day, and the little man finally opened the cell door and let me out, and with him two men in long robes and long hair, surrounded me and carried me out, and there was no chance of escape.
As I walked, I realized that the cell was built in the heart of the mountain, and when I walked out of the door of the cell, I was greeted not by the sun, but by a gloomy tunnel with oil lamps lit on both sides.
At the end of the tunnel, there is an upward staircase, about 20 meters long, inclined upwards, slightly penetrating in the white skylight, which seems to lead to the outside world.
When I climbed the stone staircase and stood at the exit to look out, I was suddenly startled, because this exit was actually suspended in the air, equivalent to being on a cliff, and if I wanted to go down, there was only a very primitive suspension ladder, a suspension ladder composed of ropes and wooden sticks, which was blown and swayed in the wind, like a big centipede swinging around.
And under the cliff, it is still a valley-like place, with many dwellings built, flying eaves and corners, scattered, making people really feel like they have traveled back to ancient times.
The water vapor in this place is relatively heavy, halfway up the mountainside, there is also a lot of snow and fog gathered, it should be early morning at the moment, the sun is not hot, from time to time, there are white cranes flying in the mountains, the green mountains and clear water are surrounded by clouds and mist, and the ancient buildings are surrounded by clouds, which suddenly makes people feel like they have arrived in the fairyland of the world.
There have always been rumors of immortals in the mountains around Feijian Pond, so is this what you are referring to?
When the little man saw that I was stunned, he said, "Don't be stupid, go down, someone will pick you up below." He pointed to the primitive ladder that had been blown around by the wind at my feet, and motioned for me to climb down myself. In the past, I would have been able to weaken my legs just by looking at them, but during this time, I was used to climbing cliffs, so I turned around and carefully landed on my feet.
When I was about to climb down, I couldn't help but ask the little man: "Big brother, why did you suddenly let me go?" ”
"It's not that I've let you go, it's arraignment! Our family will see you. ”
The head of the house?
By the way, the people of Yumen are clan systems, of course, there is a family master, and my little life is on that family master.
I wanted to ask more, but the little man made a gesture that was about to kick me, so I had to shut up and start crawling down. Needless to say, I bet that unless it's someone who climbs the cliff a lot, eight out of ten people will go limp.
The wind blew the hanging ladder crackling, and the whole person swayed on it, without any insurance measures, I could only eliminate all distractions, carefully settled, and finally approached the ground without danger.
The ground is an octagonal platform set up by a wooden shelf, next to the flowers and trees, in winter, the flowers and trees are very gorgeous, next to the octagonal platform, is an antique pavilion, there are two people sitting in the pavilion at this time.
As soon as I landed, the two men got up and stood on my side, one left and one right.
These are two women, tall and tall, one is wearing an emerald green shirt in ancient costume, with an ordinary face, and the other is wearing a black robe, quietly covering her whole body. I suddenly remembered the powerful woman who knocked me unconscious that night, and I couldn't help but say, "It's you!" ”
The woman did not mask her face this time, and there was no expression on her exposed face, and she frowned when she heard this: "You know me?" "The voice is very clear.
I said, "Didn't you take me that night?" ”
She said, "Not me." ”
The girl in green clothes next to her said: "The sisters of the Torture Hall are all wearing this kind of clothes, you recognize the wrong person, it is the seventh sister of the punishment who arrested you, this is the fifth ...... of punishment."
Before the words fell, he was interrupted by the person called Xingwu: "Shut up, why do you talk so much." Then he looked at me again and said, "Don't be foolish, when you get here, you won't be able to escape unless we release them, come with us." With that, he led the way ahead.
It seems that the feather gate of this clan system still has a relatively strict position distinction. What is this torture hall for? Literally, it seems that the person in charge of the execution? I followed the two of them, walking on the wooden path, the road in the flowers and trees to see through, sometimes high and sometimes low, after crossing a high arch bridge, there was an antique pavilion in front of me, but it looked a little old, I want to come to this Yumen people, in this area has been rooted for a long time.
"Get in!" Xing Wu took me to the pavilion, stretched out his hand and pushed me on my back, pushing me into the main hall. The women in this torture hall should all be practitioners, all of them look delicate and weak, but their strength is greater than that of men, I estimate that ordinary two or three old men are not her opponents at all.
As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw two people sitting on the left and right of the hall, a man and a woman.
The men were dressed like the ancients, in their early thirties. The woman's dress, in this feather gate, looks abrupt. It was a short-haired woman, dressed in modern attire, dressed very neatly, and at first glance she looked like the kind of strong woman with a successful career.
In addition to these two people, there are also some people standing on the left and right sides, most of them are dressed in ancient costumes, only two men are dressed in modern clothes, and their clothes are also very neat, and it seems that they are following the first woman all the way.
As soon as I entered, I became the center of attention of a group of people, and the man and woman at the top were talking, and now they also looked at me, and there was no hiding that there was a look in their eyes.
I felt a little tingling on my scalp, but in this strange place, I could see two or three people in the same modern attire, which made me feel less strange, and I said stubbornly: "Hello, big brothers and sisters." ”
After saying that, except for the woman at the top who nodded slightly, the rest of the people looked very indifferent, looking at me as if they were not looking at a living person.
Sure enough, the people in the feather gate were too unfriendly.
The first to speak was the short-haired woman, whose attitude was not salty or light, but much better than the cold gazes around her, and she said, "What's your name?" ”
"My surname is Su, and my name is Su Tiangu."
She said, "What are you doing here?" ”
When I was in prison, I had already thought about how to deal with this question and answer, and when I was as good as a stream, I told me how I was cheated by my father, how I became a victim, and how I was borrowed by the fox fairy, in a vain attempt to impress the other party.
But after hearing this, the woman just sighed and said, "So, you are looking for us for the fox fairy's business?" ”
I nodded immediately.
At this time, the man spoke, and what he said had nothing to do with what he had just said, and he said, "You have two choices, one is to die, and the other is to stay here as a slave for life, choose one." ”
Can I choose none of them?
