Chapter 3 Dogs don't eat dog meat either
Whoa......
Heavy rain was pouring down, falling on the tiles and the ground, splashing small splashes.
A wild dog that entered the temple to hide from the rain was very unlucky to enter the eyes of the group of officials, and soon there was a burst of meat fragrance in the Buddhist hall.
At this time, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Wei Qingci and the two talked in a low voice for a while, and walked into the house for fear of arousing suspicion.
The temple is very dilapidated, deserted for a long time, the main house of the small courtyard is a Buddhist hall, and the next few rooms are about the residence of the former pilgrims, and now the inside is dilapidated.
A few tattered tables and chairs, a broken wooden window, in which thirty or forty prisoners sat or stood, each unkempt, skinny, with a numb and dull look in his eyes, and a finger-thick chain cuffed to his hands and feet.
Wei Qingci walked to a remote corner and sat down, his stomach rumbling with hunger.
"Brother, I'm sorry ......"
Sounds that are almost inaudible may not be heard unless the room is unusually quiet.
Wei Qingci was happy, and turned his head to look at the girl who was shrunk into a small group beside him: "It's not you who has a belly scream, Jia Langzhong's stomach is the same as a toad." ”
", you're a toad." Jia Langzhong rubbed his stomach, his hungry chest was pressed against his back, and his voice was weak.
But he was in a good mood, since he made up his mind to kill the bearded man with Wei Qingci, he felt that his relationship with this little prince had improved a lot.
He is just a little person who sells medicine on the streets, if he meets Xiaowu King in the capital, he can avoid as far as he can.
But by chance, he became friends with this notorious prince.
He sighed a little that life is really wonderful.
"Don't carry me tomorrow, I can go by myself." Little Lori was as thin as ribs, and at this time she buried her face in her lap, and her whole body shrunk into a small ball, just like the poor kitten abandoned in Yizhong.
Jia Langzhong sighed: "Your body is too weak, and you have to make up for a long time, and you can't take two steps at all." ”
"I can go." Little Lori was still stubborn, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.
Wei Qingci thought for a while, and remembered that just now the two of them seemed to be unwilling to carry this girl again in order to fool the official errand.
The little girl must have listened to it, no wonder it hasn't rubbed into my arms for so long...... Wei Qingci reached out and rubbed his 'sister's hair, which was not yet dry, the hair color was yellowish, and it was obvious that the owner had been malnourished for a long time.
"Come here, brother hug you."
"Don't." Little Lori was very aggrieved, and her voice seemed to come out of her nose.
My sister is good, soft and cute, not like my sister, who is like a female hooligan every day...... Wei Qingci thought of his sister, his eyes were a little sour, and he hurriedly suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, leaned over and reached out to hug Xiao Lori.
"Really? After that, I went to bed every night, and I didn't want my brother to hug me? ”
Jia Langzhong next to him couldn't help but smile, and he was a little envious in his heart, he was an only child, and he had never experienced what it was like to have brothers and sisters.
And the loneliness and loneliness of the only child when he was a child are all tears when I think about it now......
Little Lori raised her little head, and sure enough, she cried, the rain washed her face, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her big eyes were black and bright, and she was very smart, although her facial features had not yet grown, but she was obviously a little beauty embryo.
"Woo...... Brother is the big badass! ”
Little Lori scolded people on her lips, but her body was very honest, she climbed directly on her brother's lap and sat down, and the whole person nested in, and the little fist hammered him twice in the chest.
Wei Qingli, when the original owner's mother was pregnant, she must have liked to eat pears very much...... Wei Qingci hugged Xiao Lori and gently blew the wound on her forehead in distress.
Little Lori obediently rubbed in his arms, and her two thin little arms tightly wrapped around her brother's neck.
She has never suffered these hardships since she was a child, but as long as she can follow her brother, she is not afraid of anything.
And she feels that her brother is better for herself these days, she used to live in a big house, and her brother ran out to play every day, and he didn't like to take care of himself, and sometimes he couldn't see his brother for a long time.
But now not only can I see my brother every day, but my brother has been protecting himself, and Xiao Lori is very happy, rubbing around affectionately on Wei Qingci's neck.
This little girl is such a little fool...... Wei Qingci was distressed for a while, and he doubted whether this child weighed thirty pounds.
"Brother, I don't hurt ......"
The words as thin as the sound of mosquitoes shook Wei Qingci's body, but he was just silent.
Jia Langzhong looked at the brother and sister beside him enviously, and sighed: "Fortunately, the little girl is not a slave." ”
He helped Wei Qingli heal her injuries last night, and he didn't see the word 'slave' on her body.
The prisoners of the Dali Dynasty who committed serious crimes were all demoted to lowly status and accepted ink punishment. In the past, ink was used to stab the face, but Emperor Yuanguang thought it was a bit inhumane, and after ascending the throne, he changed to burn his body with a red-hot iron block, so that he could cover it with clothes.
Wei Qingci touched the brand on his chest, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, feeling a sense of desolation and grievance.
Because on the second day of the original owner's imprisonment, he came to this world, and the red-hot iron burned his body, and this crime was also helped by him......
And according to the law of Dali, the female dependents of the Wuwang Mansion who were raided will eventually be sent to the Jiaofang Division.
Therefore, it is better for little Lori to be exiled with her, otherwise she will either be a poor little maid in the house of the powerful, or she will be sold into the hook fence and her life will be worse than death.
Wei Qingci scolded the old martial king who helped his brother block the sword in his heart, and the emperor Lao'er who was not righteous.
Of course, the real fault is the original owner, who is too not a thing and too inhuman......
Until five or six o'clock in the evening, the heavy rain continued to fall, and a lot of rain had accumulated on the ground of the temple.
Wei Qingci was hungry and weak at this time, sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, his eyes were in a daze, and the little Lori was even more soft and glutinous nestled in his arms, crying quietly from hunger.
She didn't dare to cry too loudly, for fear that those big bad guys would come and bully her and her brother again.
It wasn't until it was completely dark, and more than half an hour later, that the two officials walked into the room with steamed buns: "Come here, the masters are in a good mood today, and I will add food to you." ”
The burlap bag was thrown on the ground, and in addition to the yellowed hard steamed buns, there was also a pile of leftover meat and bones mixed in.
This really treats us like dogs...... Wei Qingci silently stretched out his hand, but as soon as he caught the dirty steamed bun, he was trampled on the back of his hand by a servant.
His heart was furious, and his face was full of smirk: "Thank you for the reward." ”
Only then did the official retract his feet with satisfaction and look at the submissive prisoners around him, which made him feel superior, but he was suddenly stunned, stared at Xiao Lori for a few moments, and then turned around and left the room.
As soon as he left, the hungry prisoners began to loot for food.
Jia Langzhong patted the dust off the steamed buns, and scolded with a fire: "Damn, dogs don't eat dog meat......"
But the other prisoners didn't care about this, and snatched the disgusting flesh and bones on the ground and shivered.
Wei Qingci's soul, as a young man in the new century, saw this scene without human dignity in front of him, and felt that his three views had been completely subverted.
It's been more than a month since he came to this world, but all he saw was the despicability of human nature.
The only comfort is Jia Langzhong, who can accompany him to be beaten, and the soft and cute little Lori who disregards his own safety and pounces on himself to help block his fists and feet.
And at this moment, this kind-hearted sensible little Lori is picking up a leftover bone and preparing to stuff it into her mouth.
Just over a month ago, she was still the eldest lady of the Martial Prince's Mansion......
At the age of six, Wei Qingci thought that at this age, he was in school and enjoying the pampering of his parents and sister......
At this moment, he really misses his family, and he really feels sorry for little Lori to the bone.
With a sigh, Wei Qingci hurriedly grabbed Little Lori's little hand: "Don't eat it." ”
"Brother, I'm hungry." Little Lori wiped her tears pitifully, and her hand rattled as soon as she moved the chain.
She is too young to grab a yellow hard steamed bun.
"Eat this." Handing over her steamed buns, Wei Qingci took the dog bones in her hand and stuffed them directly into her mouth.
Jia Langzhong was stunned: "Little prince, I'm starting to worship you a little." ”
Wei Qingci forcibly endured his nausea: "You also eat this, it's easy to do things when you're full." ”
Since the two are ready to slaughter the beard, the better their natural physical condition, the more sure they are of success.
Jia Langzhong reluctantly handed over the steamed buns, gnawed on the remaining bones, and comforted himself: "I'm doing this for the sake of righteousness." ”
Something that pulls calves...... Wei Qingci looked at it with disdain.
Little Lori grabbed a steamed bun in one hand, was stunned for a moment and cried, Jia Langzhong hurriedly covered her small mouth: "If you cry again, you will be beaten again." ”
Little Lori's frightened body trembled, forced her crying, and choked softly: "Thank you, Brother Langzhong." ”
She has a good upbringing, and compared with her inhuman brother, she is completely a little angel.
Wei Qingci walked up to a prisoner: "It's all poor people, I won't rob you, but take out my sister's food." ”
"Get out, do you really think you're still a high-ranking little prince?"
The prisoner frantically stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth, and his eyes also showed a fierce light, and he had the momentum of tearing him up if the kid in front of him dared to talk nonsense again.
When I turned around, I even cleaned up with you...... Wei Qingci walked to the corner, took his 'sister' into his arms and sat down, slowly gnawing on the remaining bones, his heart getting colder and colder.
