Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Revenge of the Birds
Xu Hong, who was thin and thin, was pushed forward by Aunt Zhangxing, and when she walked out of the palace gate, there happened to be a beam of sunlight shining on her.
Xu Hong stood outside the hall in the light, her delicate skin as fine as mutton fat jade looked pale and fragile in the sun.
She staggered forward, like a broken lotus swaying in the wind.
Xu Hong, who was alone, felt distressed when he saw King Yuan, and he secretly summoned the person in charge, "Just let the subordinates act like a show when they are executed, don't really do it." โ
King Yuan thought that in order to calm Concubine Hua's anger, it was still necessary to make a show to punish the woman of the Xu family, but don't really break the beauty.
The head of the Penal Division understood what King Yuan meant, so he immediately gave the order.
As a result, halfway through, the aunt in charge of the punishment was replaced by Concubine Hua's person.
The palace of the Great Yuan Palace, the flower hall is full of wisps of medicinal fragrance.
"Niangniang, according to your orders, the aunt in charge of the punishment has been replaced by ours." Concubine Hua's personal maidservant Xiao Tao changed Concubine Hua's bandages and applied medicine while reporting the situation of the Criminal Punishment Division.
Concubine Hua looked in the mirror, stroking the ugly scar on her face, and her phoenix eyes were full of malice and resentment.
"Replace the whip with an iron whip with a barbed thorn for the main palace, then dip it in salt water, and let the two strong grandmothers whip her fiercely, and it is better to kill this little slut."
Xiao Tao used her fingertips to dissolve the plaster, and then applied it to Concubine Hua: "Niangniang, the slave maid has been arranged, Niangniang can rest assured, even if she can't kill her this time, she can be allowed to shed her skin."
Concubine Hua sneered: "Hmph, just after we met, the saint will take more care of her, don't you want to spoil her to the sky in the future?" โ
Today, King Yuan intends to punish the daughter of the Xu family lightly, and her heart is like a mirror, so she replaced the aunt who was in charge of the punishment with her own person.
The slender fingers touched the wound, and Concubine Hua's eyes were hideous, "If this face can't be restored to its original state, Bengong will take scissors and cut off the little slut's face inch by inch." โ
Xiao Tao comforted Concubine Hua and said, "Don't worry, Niangniang, if you apply this Lingquan Muscle Cream, your face will not only not leave scars, but will be more delicate than before." โ
As soon as she mentioned the disfigurement, Concubine Hua's heart swelled with rage: "Hurry up and change the medicine!" After changing the medicine, the palace was going to the punishment department to watch the little slut be tortured with his own eyes. โ
Xiao Tao blessed her body: "No! โ
The Penal Division is a place dedicated to punishing palace people who have committed wrongdoing.
Different from the red wall glazed tiles in the palace, the punishment division is mostly made of gloomy wood and black tiles, and the overall appearance is gray, giving people a very gloomy and depressing feeling.
Because the Punishment Division was too gloomy, a few bloody corpses were carried out every once in a while, and the cries of the tortured were often heard inside, so this place became a shadow in the hearts of the palace people.
In the empty and cold hall, Xu Hong, dressed in white, knelt in the center, and on both sides were shelves full of various torture instruments.
Most of the metallic torture instruments on the shelves were stained with blood, and some were even blackened with bloodstains, exuding a cold and fishy smell.
The two grandmothers looked at each other, then drew a barbed iron whip from the shelf.
The whip is soft, but the whip is covered with glittering iron spikes, each with a small barb at the tip.
When the whip is struck, the iron spikes on the whip first pierce the body, and then the barbs on the iron thorns get stuck into the flesh, and when the whip is withdrawn, the barbs are ripped off along with the flesh and skin on the body.
A whip down makes people's skin open and fleshy, and blood is dripping.
Ten lashes went down, and there was no good meat on his back, and there was already a river of blood under his body.
Concubine Hua's methods cannot be described as ruthless.
A palmist brought the soaked salt water, and then dipped the iron thorn whip into it.
The punishment mother sneered, this whip soaked in salt water, it will be more painful to beat people, I don't know how many whips this weak girl can withstand.
Xu Hong knelt straight on the cold ground, she slowly lifted the black hair on her back, and trembled and exposed her entire back.
She is not afraid of pain now, and she is even more afraid that her resistance will bring misfortune to her family.
"Girl, this caning is a holy verdict, and please don't hold a grudge against the slave in the future." The punishment mother said with a smile.
The arms of the torture grandmother are the thickness of an ordinary woman's thighs, and this whip is estimated to kill her.
However, Xu Hong did not answer, only nodded slightly.
"What nonsense to talk to this little slut, hurry up and fight!"
Concubine Hua, whose face was bandaged, stepped into the gate of the Criminal Punishment Division with the support of the maid, and her vicious eyes seemed to burn Xu Hong's whole person.
Seeing Concubine Hua coming, the punishing grandmother didn't dare to slack off, her eyes were horizontal, her heart was cold, and as soon as her hand was raised, the iron whip whistled towards Xu Hong's back.
"Smack!" A crisp whip echoed over the empty and cold lobby.
Xu Hong suffered pain on his back and was whipped firmly.
The hand of the torture mother was very strong, and the iron whip was whipped on the back, and the huge momentum seemed to cut her back.
With the inertia, Xu Hong's whole person fell to the ground suddenly, the pain on her back bloomed like fireworks, and the place where the whip was whipped was painful and numb, as if there were countless ants on her back tearing her flesh and blood.
With just one whip, she was whipped to the ground and couldn't move.
At this time, Xu Hong's back had already been peeled open, and the flesh and blood wounds were ripped away by barbs, and the blood was turned out viciously.
Xu Hong's pale forehead was sweating, but the whole person was silent.
Seeing Xu Hong, who gritted her teeth and endured the pain, the palm torture mother still coldly spit out a few words in her mouth: "Kneel well!" Keep your back straight! โ
Concubine Hua next to her saw Xu Hong gritting her teeth and not saying a word, and yelled at the punitive grandmother: "Didn't you eat?" Hit so lightly, she didn't even scream, she hit the palace hard, and hit it with all her strength! โ
"No!"
The torture mother was reprimanded, so she picked up the whip and rounded her arm, wanting to sprinkle her anger on Xu Hong.
Xu Hong, who was already weak, was already crumbling after being whipped, and if he was whipped again, it was estimated that the whole person would be knocked out.
At this time, several palace people guarding outside the Penal Division found that the sky suddenly darkened, and there seemed to be a large dark cloud hanging on the horizon.
Then, a sharp-eyed palace man noticed that the dark cloud was moving rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, the dark cloud flew to the sky above the Weiyang Palace, heading towards the Punishment Division.
Then there was an overwhelming sound of birdsong, chirping, chirping.
Just as she was about to swing her second whip, a large flock of birds suddenly rushed into the hall, and they formed a long group and carried the wind and swooped down on the Punishment Mama.
Squeak squeak, squeak wow.
Flocks of birds frantically poured into the hall, pecking at the eyeballs with their beaks and claws.
The clothes on the body of the torture mother were torn into rags by the claws of the birds, and she ran out with an iron whip to drive them away.
The birds twisted into a rope and wrapped tightly around the Torture Mama, and then pecked at her flesh with their sharp beaks, and after a while, the Punishment Mama was covered with color all over her body, and blood was gushing out.
Seeing this, the other grandmother crawled under the tablecloth, and looked at her companion who was beaten by the birds with her eyes open and frightened.
And Concubine Hua was not spared, and the birds also tore her hair with their sharp beaks and claws, and pecked her cheeks fiercely.
"Ahhh Come on! Get rid of these brutes! Concubine Hua cried while protecting her face.
But she couldn't take care of the front and the back, her back was also pecked fiercely by the birds, and the sharp beak of the bird smacked her back, and she jumped in pain.
Xiao Tao next to her drove the birds while dragging Concubine Hua to the hut next door, and then closed the doors and windows tightly.
But the birds, as if they were wise, pecked at the window with their claws and beaks, and the oil-papered window was soon pecked by the birds, and some of the smaller birds slipped through the hole, and then there was a terrible cry from the house.
Seeing this, Xiao Tao hurriedly picked up a bench to plug the hole in the window, and then pulled Concubine Hua to hide in the cabinet in the house.
However, there are some woodpeckers among the flock of birds outside the door, which peck at the door panel with their long, hard beaks.
Tuk tuk tuk
Soon, the wooden door panels were already pecked to the ground.
Concubine Hua, who was hiding in the cabinet, was trembling with fright, and the sound of pecking in her ears was like a war drum from hell.
Concubine Hua prayed in her heart that the birds would not open the wooden door, and they would fly away after a while.
But it backfired, and after the woodpeckers pecked for a while, the tattered wooden door was directly scattered by the huge flock of birds.
Concubine Hua listened to the chirping in her ears, and her heart was extremely panicked.
"Don't. Don't, don't find out."
Concubine Hua, who was hiding in the cabinet, was lucky, she felt that even if the birds could peck open the wooden door, it would be impossible to find someone hiding in the cabinet.
But she was wrong, and after a while, there was a muffled tapping sound above her head.
Tuk tuk tuk
Seven or eight woodpeckers pecked happily at the wooden cabinet as if they had found something delicacious.
Concubine Hua in the cabinet was so scared that she was going to die, she couldn't stop trembling all over, she was holding her headache and crying, she didn't want to be pecked out of her eyes and become blind.
Suddenly, Concubine Hua found that there were small holes in the cabinet door, and countless beams of light shot in from the holes, and sharp beaks entered and exited from the holes from time to time.
After a while, the small holes gradually grew larger, and the beams in front of me became brighter and brighter.
Concubine Hua watched as the wooden cabinet had more and more small holes, expanding bigger and bigger.
"Ahhh Don't! โ
Concubine Hua rolled out of the cabinet like crazy, and then fled in panic, but she didn't run a few steps before she tripped over a soft object under her feet.
Concubine Hua looked down and saw that it was the slapping grandmother who whipped Xu Hong lying on the ground, and the punctifying grandmother's face was pecked out of small holes, and blood was bubbling out.
Mama's body was also full of pecks and scratches, her head was full of white, white and yellow bird droppings, blood mixed with bird feathers and bird droppings, and the whole person exuded a fishy and smelly smell.
"Mother, help me, help me."
The bloodied Palm Torture Mama grabbed Concubine Hua's ankle with one hand and tried to ask Concubine Hua for help.
And Concubine Hua immediately jumped up as if she had been touched by something dirty, and then kicked Mama away: "Get out!" Useless dog stuff! Don't touch me! โ
Between breaths, the flock of birds that were in hot pursuit flew over again.
Concubine Hua looked up at the sky, the sky was dark and oppressive, full of birds fluttering their wings, and the number was too large to count.
Birds flying and hovering in the air chirped highly, and then let out angry arguments.
"Smack~"
A wet and soft object fell into Concubine Hua's eyes, Concubine Hua wiped it with her hand and found that it was white and yellow bird droppings, the bird droppings on her hands felt warm to the touch, and they also emitted a disgusting smell.
Concubine Hua couldn't hold back any longer, and retched in a big gulp.
Boom~
The birds began to on Concubine Hua's head, and a golden rain fell in the air.
At this time, Concubine Hua only felt that her body was slimy, and there was a fishy smell from the tip of her nose.
This made Concubine Hua, who wanted to take a bath eight times a day, very uncomfortable, she couldn't bear it, she really couldn't bear it.
"Gwoe~" Concubine Hua turned around and vomited wildly, and the acid water in her stomach surged.
The birds hovering in the air finished pulling the poop and swooped down towards Concubine Hua again.
This scene shocked Concubine Hua's complexion, and she suddenly stood upside down with hair all over her body.
"! Jump into the water! Jump into the water! Xiao Tao next to him shouted at Concubine Hua.
In a hurry, Concubine Hua understood what Xiao Tao meant: "Yes! Jump in the lake! Birds don't go into the water! โ
Concubine Hua didn't care about her image at this time, she rushed out of the Punishment Division with her hair that was scratched into a chicken nest, and then went straight to the mirror lake outside.
Behind her, there was a flock of birds whistling and chasing, and when she thought of the miserable appearance of the tortured mother, Concubine Hua was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body.
"Poof!"
Concubine Hua plunged directly into the lake with a fierce son, and a huge splash splashed on the surface of the lake in Pingjing.
Birds don't go into the water, of course, but they can swoop and glide close to the surface of the lake.
"! Submit! Xiao Tao, who also jumped into the water, let out a loud shout, and then pressed Concubine Hua's head into the water.
At the moment when Concubine Hua sank into the lake, the sliding birds carried the wind and set off a huge white mark on the surface of the water.
If Concubine Hua didn't hide in time, the head exposed in the water at this time would probably have been lifted off.
However, Concubine Hua under the water is not comfortable, the lake water in winter is cold and biting, her lungs have just choked on the water, and her chest is hot and painful.
"Woo woo"
Concubine Hua slapped Xiao Tao's arm and pointed to her mouth, she was about to go up and breathe.
Xiao Tao understood, kicked her feet, and took Concubine Hua out of the bottom of the lake.
"Whew~"
Concubine Hua, who surfaced on the surface of the lake, breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but before she could catch her breath, the flock of birds that flew away returned again and swooped down against the surface of the water.
"! Hold your breath! After Xiao Tao finished speaking, she slammed Concubine Hua's head down the water.
When Concubine Hua couldn't stand it anymore, Xiao Tao took her out of the water again, and then the birds went back and forth again.
After this cycle a few times, Concubine Hua was exhausted, and her body was cold and numb from the lake, and then her eyes were black, her neck was crooked, and she fainted in Xiao Tao's arms.
The Xu family's mansion, on the ridge covered with glazed tiles, Ah Jiu sat on it with one leg bent, and next to him was Haoyue, who looked indignant.
After a long time, Ah Jiu slowly opened his eyes and emitted a syllable into the air, and then the flock of birds hovering over the palace spread out like waves and disappeared into the sky in an instant.
Thank you for the recommendation vote.
