Chapter 161 With fingers as pens and blood as ink, the finishing touch!
Deng Fei huddled in a corner of the cell, shivering...
He's a good thief who steals people's money, but he's also only a fourteen-year-old and a half-year-old...
The meridians on his body were sealed for several days, and at first the food was poured by the jailers, but then the energy that sealed the meridians gradually dissipated, and he was able to move...
These days in the prison, listening to the screams coming from the torture chamber next door, I have also seen the prisoner of the Flesh and Blood Lake being dragged out by the jailer like a dead dog.
Death is terrible...
But the process of waiting for death is even more terrifying!
Thinking that he would be reduced to the torture cell in a few days, he was frightened and did not dare to close his eyes for a few days, for fear that he would be tied up in the torture cell as soon as he woke up.
Even when he saw the jailer pass in front of his cell, he felt as if he was on the verge of life and death.
He didn't want to die, especially when he thought that he still had so many younger brothers and sisters to raise, and he couldn't die.
So he was afraid, from the bottom of his heart.
Just as he was distracted, he suddenly heard the sound of the key inserting into the lock cylinder and turning, and he came back to his senses with a stir, and shrank a few more points into the corner of the cell.
"Tut-tut."
After the jailer opened the cell, Xu Boqing walked in in shockingly, and saw that the thief was shrinking in the corner, no longer sharp, so he quipped: "I haven't seen you for a few days, how do you feel that you have lost a lot of weight?"
"You ......"
Deng Fei saw clearly that it was the 'Overseer' who brought him to the prison, and the defense line in his heart completely collapsed, and tears flowed out...
"Why are you still crying?"
Xu Boqing walked up to him and said indifferently: "When you were caught that day, you were not as fragile as you are now, especially the fierce and unruly eyes when you stared at me, I was particularly impressed. ”
"Yes... I'm sorry..."
At this time, Deng Fei seemed to have been sucked away from his spine, and said in a choked voice: "I'm sorry, don't kill me, I... I... I don't want to die, I can't die. ”
"If you knew this was the case, why did you bother in the first place?"
Xu Boqing also knew that the scare was almost over, and no matter how much pressure it was, this kid couldn't hold it, so he beckoned outside.
The jailer outside the cell also understood and brought a chair in, and after he sat down, he asked, "What's your name?" How old are you? ”
"Deng Fei... Fourteen..."
"Origin..."
"No... Nope..."
"Black?"
Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, and then frowned slightly and asked, "But there are still relatives alive?" ”
He didn't ask his parents, because whenever there are parents alive, they have a place of origin, and the thief in front of him said that he has no place of origin, which can only mean that he is an abandoned baby, or that his parents have died a long time ago.
When Deng Fei heard the sentence 'but there are still relatives alive', his face showed a little dazed, and then he shook his head and said secretly: "I grew up eating leftovers, and I have no relatives..."
“……”
Xu Boqing was silent, and also guessed this possibility, and asked: "If you are alone, you can live by finding a job at will, why do you want to steal?" ”
"I... I also have to support my younger siblings. ”
Deng Fei glanced up at him, two lines of tears flowed out of his red eyes again, and he choked up and said, "I don't steal, he... They will starve to death. ”
"Brother and sister?"
Xu Boqing was shocked, and asked with a frown: "Didn't you say that there are no relatives alive?" Why are there younger siblings now? ”
"I ......"
Deng Fei hurriedly explained: "Those are not my own brothers and sisters, they are my adopted brothers and sisters. ”
"Adoption?"
Xu Boqing seemed to have heard some big joke, and asked inexplicably: "You can't even take care of yourself, and you still adopt other children?" ”
"That's why I steal."
Deng Fei seemed to have thought of something, buried his head in his lap, and muttered with his lips: "I can't watch them starve to death..."
“……”
Xu Boqing was silent.
Then he seemed to think of something and asked, "How many younger siblings have you adopted?" ”
"There used to be thirteen..."
“……”
"One died of illness, and now there are twelve."
“……”
Deng Fei raised his head and saw that the 'Overseer' was a little distracted, and thought that he didn't believe what he said, so tears flowed out again, and said, "What I said is true..."
Xu Boqing was silent for a long time, and then he took a long sigh of relief and asked, "How old is the youngest of those younger brothers and sisters you adopted?" ”
Unconsciously, his voice softened a little.
"The youngest is six years old, and the oldest is eleven years old."
After Deng Fei finished speaking, he added: "No matter how old they are, they will be sensible, and they can find a job to live, I can't let them be like me." ”
“……”
Xu Boqing only felt panicked in his heart, and asked, "Where are your younger brothers and sisters now?" ”
"Don't!
”
Deng Fei thought he was thinking about how to arrest his younger brothers and sisters, so he hurriedly said, "My lord, my younger brothers and sisters have never stolen other people's things, don't arrest them!" ”
"I didn't say I was going to arrest them..."
Xu Boqing sighed and said, "If you don't go back to the prison for a few days, they will starve to death." ”
"No, it won't..."
Deng Fei shook his head firmly, and he didn't know what he thought, a relieved smile appeared on his cheeks, and said, "I left them money and food, Erniu is already eleven years old, and he will take care of his younger brothers and sisters." ”
"That'll do..."
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, and also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If more than a dozen orphans were starved to death because of himself, he might have to scold himself for sleeping under the bed in the middle of the night, 'What a damn thing'.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "How did you escape from the dungeon of the Inspection Division?" ”
"Ah Da helped me."
"Ah?"
"It's the little ghost you pinched to death..."
“……”
Xu Boqing was slightly stunned, then took out the black ball from his pocket and asked, "It's called Ah Da?" ”
"Yes."
Deng Fei saw the crumpled black ball, shed two lines of tears again, and said, "Ah Da is one year younger than me, and he is also a thief.
He said he wanted to raise his younger siblings with me.
But he was seriously ill the year before last, and he didn't want to die, but we didn't have the money for treatment, and we didn't have the money to get medicine, so he still died. ”
His voice paused, and he said in a choked voice, "Yet... Then Ah Da became like this and came to help me. ”
“……”
Xu Boqing was silent, and somehow, he suddenly felt that the little black ball in his hand was a little heavy...
With a rub of his fingers, he untied the qi that was squeezing on the little black ball, and the little black ball also swelled, swaying and turning into a little ghost again.
The little ghost seemed to be a little dazed, and after seeing Deng Fei who was crying bitterly and Xu Boqing in front of him, he seemed to slowly come back to his senses.
It couldn't speak, but after coming back to its senses, it immediately protected Deng Fei, and then knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing to Xu Boqing.
"Ah Da ......"
When Deng Fei saw his partner again, he also burst into tears.
“……”
Seeing this scene, Xu Boqing felt the meaning of the sentence 'Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road' from outside the book for the first time.
I didn't feel a little dazed...
At this moment, Prison Secretary Hu hurried over with a happy face, and was also a little stunned when he saw the thief crying loudly in the cell and the slightly divine Lord Xu.
Then he cautiously leaned over and said, "Overseer, what tricky things have you encountered?" ”
"Prison Sir Hu, you're just in time."
Xu Boqing came back to his senses when he heard this, repeated Deng Fei's situation with him, and then asked: "Hu Prison Division has served in the Heavenly Prison for more than 20 years, can you know how this situation will be judged?" ”
“……”
Hu Prison Division was silent for a while after hearing this.
The reason why people have so many troubles is because the 'good' and 'bad' are not pure enough.
And most people fall into the gray area in between, the good is not pure, the bad is not pure...
He pondered for a while, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "From the perspective of the law, Deng Fei stealing money is wrong, and he should be punished!"
”
Xu Boqing nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then according to the opinion of the Hu Prison Division, how should it be punished?" ”
"This ......"
Hu Prison Si's face trembled, and he sighed and said: "There are a lot of prisoners in the prison on this day, and the back kitchen has to pick vegetables, wash dishes, crack firewood, and make a fire to cook every day...
There is a special cook for cooking on the fire, but chores such as picking vegetables and washing dishes have always been done by the jailers below, and the lowly ones have long had opinions about this.
】
Why don't you punish Deng Fei and his younger siblings for coming to the back kitchen of the prison to do chores such as picking vegetables and washing dishes...
Of course, the prison will not let them work in vain, their food, clothing, housing and medical care are all counted as prisons, and if they do a good job, each person will have a salary of three dollars of silver per month. ”
His voice paused, and then he asked meaningfully, "What do you think of such a punishment, Lord?" ”
Deng Fei was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't cry anymore, because he knew that chores such as picking vegetables and washing dishes could be done by his seven or eight-year-old brothers and sisters.
Not only for food, shelter and clothing?
There are still three coins of silver to get every month??
"Not bad..."
Xu Boqing's eyes moved slightly, and he also knew that Hu Prison's 'punishment' was actually helping Deng Fei and his party.
He pondered, looked at Deng Fei and said, "The three coins of silver per month can only be kept for one, and the remaining two coins must be used to repay the money stolen before."
When the stolen money is repaid, the three dollars can be kept for yourself, can you do it? ”
"Yes, yes..."
When Deng Fei heard this, he only felt that the frequency of his heart was beating a little faster, how could he not know that he had met a nobleman!
After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly leaned over and knelt on the ground, wiped his tears and responded: "Deng Fei thank you two adults!" ”
"Don't rush to thanks."
Xu Boqing said coldly: "Everything that Hu Prison Division and I just said is under the condition that you confessed the truth...
If you find out that you have said half a lie, don't say that you have gone to the back kitchen of the prison to do chores, and when you come back, you will not only have to be whipped, but also have to walk in the torture room! ”
Seeing that Deng Fei was a little distracted, he reprimanded loudly: "Do you know the consequences of deception!?" ”
"Know!
Know!
”
When Deng Fei heard the reprimand, a stirring spirit came back to his senses, immediately wiped the tears on his face, raised his hand and swore with a straight face: "I, Deng Fei, swear to the sky, if I say half a lie, the sky will thunder and crackle, and I will not die!" ”
"You clean up after yourself..."
Xu Boqing bowed slightly, and explained: "I'll deal with something now, and you will have to take me to meet your younger brothers and sisters later." ”
After that, he and Hu Prison went out of the cell.
"Yes!
”
Deng Fei was stunned and watched the backs of the two go away.
At this time, the two jailers also walked in, and seeing that he was still in a daze, he said sourly: "Lao Tzu, this jailer is handed down from his ancestors, and your kid is lucky, you can eat the imperial grain if you sell it miserably in front of the overseer..."
"Heh... Hah..."
Deng Fei smirked when he heard this, as if he had seen his younger brothers and sisters not worrying about food and housing...
……………
When Xu Boqing returned to the prison office, he saw a black and red eucalyptus table there, and two jailers were gently wiping the corners of the table.
"Overseer, this eucalyptus table is the one that the humble post said before, the humble post thought that after all these years, this eucalyptus table would be lighter, and I never thought that the texture was quite heavy when I moved it, and it was still pulled by a horse-drawn carriage."
Hu Prison Si's voice paused, and said: "This eucalyptus table is made of hundreds of years of lightning strikes old jujube tree trunks, the overseer, you see if the charm does not meet the requirements, if not, you will look for others." ”
"No need to look for anything else..."
Xu Boqing was stunned when he saw the table.
Under the gaze of the Heavenly Eye, the eucalyptus table was obviously a dead thing, but it looked vibrant, and the wood seemed to contain a pure thunderous breath...
Just for these two points...
Ordinary evil spirits are hard to get into!
He waved his hand and motioned for the jailers on either side to withdraw, and then leaned over and flicked his fingers, and the pulp on the eucalyptus table was scraped off by the passing air.
The wood texture exposed under the pulp is delicate and smooth, extremely oily, and you can smell an elegant and timeless ancient wood fragrance when you get closer...
Hundreds of years old jujube wood also happens to be lightning strike wood, this kind of wood is not a treasure of heaven and earth, and it is not far off.
It's such a big cut...
It was made into a eucalyptus table...
He looked left and right around the eucalyptus table, and the more he looked, the more distressed he became, and then he sighed and looked outside the prison, looking for creative inspiration...
When I saw the plaque with the word 'Heavenly Prison' hanging on the beam at the door, I already had an idea in my heart...
After returning to the prison secretary's house, seeing that Hu Prison was still at a loss, he said with a straight face: "Take the pen and inkstone!" ”
"Ahh Yes yes yes ......"
Hu Prison Division was slightly stunned, then immediately reacted, and hurriedly ran out, "Overseer, wait a moment!" ”
He trotted all the way, and after a while, he returned to the prison secretary with a set of four treasures of the study...
Seeing that the legs of the eucalyptus table had been disassembled, leaving only a bare tabletop lying on the ground, he didn't dare to ask more, but carefully presented the four treasures of the study in his hand.
Xu Boqing only took the inkstone and the ink strip, glanced at it, poured some wine into the inkstone, and then began to grind it slowly with the ink strip.
When the ink is thick, set it aside.
Immediately, his fingertips swallowed a few inches of qi, and the desktop was carved into the shape of a plaque, and the word 'Heavenly Prison' was withered in the middle of the plaque.
He also took the pen and dipped the ink, and put the word "prison" on the good ink, and saw a few drops of ink on the plaque, he wanted to wipe it, but he had a flash of inspiration, and the pen was painted with the dripping ink...
Between the horizontal gestures of pen and ink, there is an extra beast on the plaque that looks like a tiger and has a beard, and the shape is expressive but has no eyes!
Xu Boqing threw away the brush in his hand, and saw that the strange beast was not only not eye-catching, but also in a beautiful shape, and had already gained three points of charm, so he couldn't help but stroke his palm and laugh...
When Hu Prison Si saw the plaque, his eyes lit up a little, even a person like him who didn't know calligraphy Danqing could also see that the plaque was better than the one hanging in the prison now.
"Overseer, what kind of beast is this?"
"Raccoon!"
Xu Boqing smiled slightly and explained: "This divine beast is not only anxious for justice and righteousness, but also can distinguish between right and wrong, and judge impartially, it is a prison beast. ”
"I see..."
Hu Prison Si nodded thoughtfully, and seeing that the strange beast was powerful and fierce but did not pay attention, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Overseer, is this fierce beast eyeless?" ”
"Yes!"
Xu Boqing took a long sigh of relief and said, "Not only that, but also, these eyes... And God!
”
After that, he swiped the tip of his index finger, but saw a drop of blood overflowing, he wrote it with his hand, and the point of blood as ink was on the fierce eyes!
One stroke!
The eye-catching painting is just vivid...
But when the scarlet blood dotted the eyes, the scarlet painting seemed to come to life, with a little blood all over the body, and his expression was vivid, almost breaking out of the plaque!
It's that the surrounding turbid qi is empty!
