Chapter 015: The Cage

The "I" in Li Mingcheng's eyeballs, the whole body was distorted and deformed, like a twisted flower, slowly moving towards the depths of the eyeballs.

It's as if there is an invisible force that violently tears at my mirror image, forcibly squeezing me in the mirror into Li Mingcheng's body, trying to exclude me from the world in the mirror, and Li Mingcheng is just used to hold my container.

I didn't have time to think about it, I quickly stretched out my hand to Li Mingcheng's eyes, trying to catch me in his eyeballs.

The outstretched hand didn't exert much force, but when the finger touched the glass frame, it was as if it was reaching into water, straight through the glass, and grabbed Li Mingcheng's eyeball.

The moment I touched my eyeball, I felt an invisible suction force grabbing my body into the mirror.

With a "whoosh", my whole body was sucked in, and my consciousness gradually blurred.

When I came to my senses again, I found myself in a cage of less than 30 square meters, with nearly 30 people lying densely.

These people are all dressed in coarse linen clothes, with men with large braids and women with small feet, typical of Qing Dynasty Chinese.

"Could it be that I crossed over? Or maybe I went to the wrong set and ran into the costume shooting crew? ”

The sudden change of scene made me a little confused, is this the world in the mirror? Where is Li Mingcheng?

"Knock Knock ......"

Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside, and the prisoners in the cage, who were already dying, suddenly rushed towards the front of the cage like they had been stimulated and went crazy.

People scrambled to the front of the cells, their hands stretched out from the railings, screaming in a terrible voice.

At the beginning of the corridor of the cell, three men appeared, one pushing a small dilapidated cart with a nest head mixed with unknown plants, and the other scooping the head of the cart into the cage as if feeding animals.

There was also a man holding a gong and a wooden stick the thickness of an arm, and while beating the gongs and drums, he occasionally beckoned to the prisoners who reached out for food, and from time to time there were bursts of wailing.

The people who scooped the heads of the nests seemed to have a good understanding of the number of people in each cage, and the number of heads of the nests distributed in each cage was only seventy or eighty percent of the total number of people.

This also led to the fact that whichever cage they walked to, a fierce food war would break out in which cage, the scene was extremely cruel and hot, and bloodshed occurred from time to time.

The person who grabbed the head of the nest stuffed the head of the nest into his mouth with a gobble, for fear that he would be snatched by others in the next second, and those who did not grab it tried every means to snatch the head of the nest from the mouths of others.

Often the time for a conflict to break out in a cage will not exceed a minute, as long as the nest head is finished, no matter how fierce the person was fighting in the previous second, it will immediately calm down, and everyone will find a place to lie down, as if nothing had happened just now, leaving only the person injured because of the scramble for the nest to wail in pain.

The cart slowly moved down the aisle, and after a few minutes, I finally came to the cage where I was, and everyone scrambled around the outside of the cage, watching the jailer scoop the head of the nest in his hand, waiting for the gift of food.

Finally, the jailer raised his hand and sprinkled the nest in the scoop into the cage indiscriminately, and the crowd immediately rioted, scrambling to pounce on the nest scattered on the ground.

It has to be said that the law of the jungle exists in any period, in any tribe and even in any population.

In stark contrast, there were two men and two women in front of me, the man was tall and big, with a face full of meat, and he violently pushed away the people in front of him, and recklessly harvested the nests on the ground, and in a short time he had three or four in his hands.

The two women were a mother and daughter, the mother was skinny and her eyes were shining when she looked at the head of the nest, and the daughter was only five or six years old, and she followed her mother in fear.

At first, one of the nests rolled down in front of her mother, and as soon as she picked it up, she was snatched away by the men around her.

The mother went crazy, hugged the leg of the prey man, pleaded bitterly, and said the words of pity for her daughter, but she was greeted by a fierce kick, and the head of the nest was snatched away......

Coincidentally, when the jailer was lying in the nest, one of them was impartial, and he rolled through the layers of obstacles, rolled to the innermost part of the cage, and stopped at my feet impartially.

I picked it up and smelled it, and there was a strong rancid smell from the head of the nest, and the vegetable leaves inside, as if they had been stored for several months, were all rotten and spoiled, and there were a few moldy spots scattered on the head of the nest.

Just a slight smell makes me can't help but gause, where is the desire to eat?

As I stared at the nest in my hand, I suddenly noticed that the cage I was in was quiet, and shadows appeared in front of me.

When I raised my eyes, I saw seven or eight people looking at the nest in my hand, and slowly leaned towards me step by step.

Except for the nest head in my hand, all the rest have been wiped out, and these seven or eight people should not have grabbed the nest head just now.

Since I was a child, I have been tall, and I have practiced boxing for a few years, so in terms of appearance, I also belong to the category of tall and powerful.

And these people in front of me are all skinny, just from the appearance, I should still give them a strong sense of oppression, so no one dared to come forward for a while.

However, the temptation given to them by the nest head still prevailed over the fear, and after a few seconds, a man who looked to be in his thirties was the first to pounce.

Everyone understands that the gun shoots the first bird, but if the gun misses the first bird, then the next thing to suffer is the "gun", and the rest of the "birds" will go crazy and tear the "gun" apart.

So, if you want to create psychological fear on these people, then I have to fight this "bird" beautifully.

Thinking of this, I suddenly stood up from the ground, and with the power of my feet, a beautiful roundhouse kick hit the man in the chest.

The latter, like a kite with a broken string, flew out directly, and fell three or four meters away without moving.

This scene completely calmed the scene, although the few people around me were still looking at the nest in my hand and reluctant to leave, but subconsciously, they were all going backwards.

Even the big man with a meaty face just now raised his head and looked at me with some fear.

The confrontation lasted for dozens of seconds, and just now the mother and daughter left first, finding a corner and sitting down.

Some people took the lead, and the rest of the people left one after another.

I stood where I was, looked at the nest in my hand, and then walked slowly towards the mother and daughter.

When my mother saw me approaching them, she nervously held her daughter in her arms, and looked at me with fear in her eyes.

I crouched down and handed the nest to my mother, who looked at me suspiciously.

"Take it." I whispered.

My mother listened to my words, was stunned for more than ten seconds, and then pointed to herself incredulously and said, "Give it to me?" ”

I nodded.

As if she had won the jackpot, my mother immediately showed a look of ecstasy on her face, and she thanked me again and again to take the nest in my hand and hurriedly fed it to the girl.

Seeing this, a few people who didn't grab the head of the nest just now unconsciously leaned in front of the mother and daughter, wanting to take away the head of the nest, but they were given back by my eyes.

The little girl took the nest head and took a few bites, then reached out and fed the nest head to the woman's mouth.

"Eat quickly, mom isn't hungry."

"Mom doesn't eat it, and Yaoyao doesn't eat it either."

Seeing this, the mother opened her mouth and gently bit the head of the nest, and then chewed with a look of enjoyment, and handed the head of the nest to the little girl.

I could see clearly from the sidelines that my mother was just making a show, and when the nest head came out of her mouth, there was nothing missing.

Seeing this, the little girl smiled happily and took a bite of the nest.

In this way, the two of you have a mouthful, and I have a mouthful, and the nest head will be wiped out in less than a minute.

The plain and simple scene made my heart sour, and I turned around, ready to return to the corner just now.

"Thank you, uncle, you are a good person!" However, as soon as I turned my body, my hand was grasped by a soft little hand, and when I turned around, I saw the little girl's thin but lovely face, with a happy smile on her face, looking at me innocently.

Although I was issued a good person card, at that moment, I felt extremely happy......

After about two hours, more than a dozen jailers lined up outside the cage with foreign guns, and the cages were opened one by one, and the prisoners lined up neatly and walked to the end of the aisle.

I followed the team with great curiosity, and came to an open space the size of half a football field, in the center of which five or six wells were dug, and hundreds of people, under the supervision of more than a dozen jailers, went to the well in an orderly manner to draw water, or drink or wash, and the prisoners who had finished drinking the water went to the other side to rest or chat, and breathe the fresh air outside.

There was a high wall around the clearing, and there were a few jailers on the wall with guns, but the guards were sparse and lazy, only symbolically staying on the commanding heights, and what was even more surprising was that there were only three or four people guarding the gate not far away, chatting with the sky in the same sparse and lazy.

Seeing this scene, the word "servile" couldn't help but emerge in my heart, such a defense, if you want to escape, it should not be difficult, although some people will die because of this, but the vast majority of people can survive......

I went to the well, scooped a bucket of water, washed my face briefly, and then took a big sip, the well water was cool and sweet.

After doing this, I found a clean stone and sat down, thinking about the scene that suddenly appeared in front of me, what was going on?

"Brother, do you want to place a bet?" A faint voice came from behind him.

I turned my head in confusion and saw the meaty man in the cage standing behind me......
