Chapter 52: Deadly Roast Chicken
In a dilapidated cell, Ning Caichen, who had been locked up here as Zhou Yabing for three months, with a stubble on his face, his hair was scattered like a bird's nest, and his whole body was stinky, and almost all of them exuded a disgusting rancid smell Ning Caichen ushered in his last dinner - a burnt fragrant roast chicken, nicknamed by the Jianghu people: Killer Chicken!
When this fragrant roast chicken was placed in front of Ning Caichen's cell, he was locked up here for three months, and after eating hard buns for three months, Ning Caichen, who had not smelled a trace of meat, had straight eyes!!
"Uncle, this is roast chicken today!! Grilled chicken!! What day is it today, and you eat so well!! ”
With an action similar to that of a hungry tiger pounced, Ning Caichen threw himself down at the door of the cell, reached out, grabbed the roast chicken outside the cell, and then took two large bites regardless of the madness.
Under the fragrant chicken entrance, under the wonderful taste, Ning Caichen almost felt that he was so happy that he was dying of happiness at this moment.
Then he bit hard twice, perhaps because he was in too much of a hurry, and he choked.
Then, as if thinking of something, Ning Caichen glanced at the roast chicken in his hand, and then at the old man who was in the same cell as him and was in the same bad situation, but he hesitated.
After hesitating for only a second or two, perhaps it was the teaching of respecting the old and loving the young in the book of sages that he had read, or perhaps it was his own sense of justice, Ning Caichen made a decision.
Forcefully tearing off the chicken leg and a large piece of meat of the roast chicken in his hand, Ning Caichen handed the chicken leg to the old man in the same cell as himself.
"Uncle. Come on, let's eat roast chicken together! This roast chicken is so delicious! You haven't eaten meat in a long time! What a good day! ”
"Huh! Huh! You eat, I don't eat. I don't want to eat this chicken! ”
Sitting on the side, leaning against the wall, the old man who didn't know what was carved with broken bricks on the wall watched Ning Caichen hand over the chicken legs, but the whole person seemed to have encountered something terrible, pushed Ning Caichen's hand away, and shrank back.
"What's wrong with you? Usually you put a cockroach in your mouth, but now you don't eat such a fragrant roast chicken?!! ”
Look at the old man's appearance. As if seeing something incredible, Ning Caichen shook his head,
"You really don't eat it. If you don't eat it, I'll eat it all. ”
Holding the chicken leg and shaking it twice in his hand, he made a seductive look, but it surprised Ning Caichen. This eccentric old man. But he didn't have the slightest intention of being moved, he just turned around and didn't know what to draw on the wall.
"What a weird person, if you don't eat it, I'll really eat it all."
took another bite of the chicken leg in his hand, Ning Caichen said.
"Huh! Eat, eat, don't know anything. It's not a bad thing, it's good to eat and go on the road."
There was no positive response. The old man in the same cell as Ning Caichen muttered in a low voice as he carved on the wall.
"Eat well and go on the road?!!"
There seemed to be something rubbed in his ears, and he just took another bite of chicken, but Ning Caichen's whole person instantly seemed to be hit by lightning!!
Then subconsciously, Ning Caichen looked at the old man hard, and at this time, Ning Caichen also found that on the wall, his name did not know when, and it had been crossed by the old man.
Looking at this, I was shocked, and Ning Caichen's complexion changed again!!
Originally, the walls were full of people's names, some of them were crossed out, and some of them were not crossed out, and according to the old man, those who were not crossed out were still alive, and those who were crossed out were already dead.
Before, my name was also on it, and it was not crossed out.
"Uncle, I'm not dead yet, why did you cross out my name?"
Subconsciously, holding a roast chicken in his hand, Ning Caichen opened his mouth like this.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's coming, it's coming, you've eaten this deadly chicken, and it's close to Huangquan Road."
With a wave of his hand, the old man said as if he didn't care.
"Killer Chicken!!"
The moment he heard this term, it was as if a thunderbolt fell from the sky, and the roast chicken in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap" sound, and Ning Caichen was stunned!!
"Killing chickens?!! I see!! So, I'm going to die!! ”
came back to his senses, his mouth was muttering, his face was full of sudden realization and indescribable bitterness, at this moment, Ning Caichen's whole expression was full of despair!!
"This chicken, I'm going to die, and if I eat it, I'll eat it for nothing, so I'll leave it to you, uncle, and as for my things, I'll leave it to you."
"Hahahaha!! I've been reading books all my life, thinking that I am full of wealth, thinking that I want to serve the court, but I didn't expect to die here like this!! ”
At this moment, as if heralding the end of his life, Ning Caichen sat on the ground with his whole ass, all kinds of sadness, helplessness, and memories of life came up, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
"But it's okay, it's me who died, it's not you, uncle, you are the real one who reads poetry and books, full of talent, it's a pity that I'm Ning Caichen dead, uncle, you're fine, it's a blessing."
Inexplicably, with a wry smile, Ning Caichen said this to the old man on the side.
After three months of getting along day and night, they were locked up in this small cell together, and they exchanged a lot of things, and Ning Caichen also knew that this old man who was in the same room with him was really a great talent who read poetry and books and was amazingly talented.
At the end of his life, thinking of his upcoming desperate moment, thinking of the fate of the country, thinking of such a talented old man beside him being able to continue to live, maybe one day he can leave here, serve the court, and save the fate of the world, Ning Caichen couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart.
"Maybe that's the meaning of my life."
Inexplicably, such a thought rose in Ning Caichen's heart.
"Hey, look at your tears, I can't help but shed tears, that's good, it's better that you and I don't have to die."
"If you have something to do, I've dug a tunnel here, this is my clothes, and there are still some entanglements in it, you can go out along this passage, you can keep the passage outside, you don't cry anymore, I feel uncomfortable to see!"
Climbing to the corner of the wall, peeling off the thick thatch that was laid in the corner of the wall, revealing a deep enough hole for one person to pass through the guò, the old man said to Ning Caichen.
"Oh, by the way, and this thing, you can bring it with you." (To be continued......)
