0002: Lives should not be extinguished
Mr. Zuo drank again and ordered me to go barefoot on the knife stake.
I felt palpitations and felt the murderous aura in him.
If I don't do anything else, I'm likely to end up with the same as those child sons-in-law who died young.
I went through one of the darkest and most difficult days of my life.
The soles of both feet were cut to pieces, and the bones were visible.
Even though the bleeding did not stop, he was still forced by Mr. Zuo to stand on the "knife mountain" for half an hour before he could come down.
The massive loss of blood caused my consciousness to gradually blur, and the strength of my whole body seemed to be drained, and my body shook a few times, and I fell from the knife post.
Mr. Zuo caught me in time and poured a small half bottle of alcohol directly into the wound on my foot.
The heart-rending screams not only did not make Mr. Zuo feel half pity, but instead recruited him with a few big-eared scrapers.
"The test items that were sent to me only had two results in the end. Either become the elite of the Heavenly Master Sect, or become the fertilizer of these flowers and plants in the courtyard. ”
Mr. Zuo picked me up, slammed it on the ground, squinted his eyes and said, "You can't even bear this pain, then wait to be made into flower fertilizer." ”
I felt a chill on my body, and my legs shook.
It wasn't because of the pain of the wound, but because I was really frightened by Mr. Zuo's words.
For a long time, I spent this pain.
The injury on his foot was just right, and he would be thrown to the knife post by Mr. Zuo.
Every time my foot was cut, Mr. Zuo would put a black, smelly dog skin plaster on me.
Miraculously, within a few days, the wound will heal, and you won't even see a single scar, leaving only a layer of flesh.
Mr. Zuo told me that when the cocoons on the soles of my feet were thick enough, I would not be injured again on the knife pile.
It's an unpredictable cycle, long or short, depending on how much time I spend on the pile each day.
and the extent of each injury.
The more severe and frequent the injury, the faster the soles of the feet will calluse.
I was tortured to death.
One day, I really couldn't stand it, so I secretly climbed over the wall while no one was paying attention, preparing to escape from the Zhou family.
Rather than suffer such a crime in Zhou's house, I would rather go out and beg for food.
As a result, as soon as I climbed the fence, I saw Mr. Zuo standing outside, with his hands behind his back, looking at me coldly.
I still remember those eyes vividly, like two sharp knives constantly cutting at me.
After being caught, he inevitably suffered a meal of flesh and skin.
Mr. Zuo's method of rectifying the person is quite powerful, and he can't see any injuries from the outside, but he can make you feel like your liver and intestines are broken, and you don't want to live.
Zhou Jixian was even more ruthless, locked me in my room, and said that he would starve me for a week.
If I hadn't starved to death, he wouldn't have been to blame for the previous escape, and I would still be the son-in-law of the Zhou family.
The old fox knew that I was most afraid of starvation, and wanted to break me down directly on the mental level.
I glared at Zhou Jixian and Mr. Zuo with great resentment, thinking that it would be better to starve to death, so as not to suffer every day.
But on the third day of hunger, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I lay on the bed with sore limbs, my eyes shining with Venus, and my throat burning like fire.
And Zhou Jixian and Mr. Zuo were eating meat and drinking wine in my room, and from time to time their mouths made a "chirp" sound.
I kept swallowing and my stomach made an exaggerated "grunt" sound.
Murder is nothing more than that.
By the fifth day, I couldn't get out of bed, and it was extremely difficult to even move my fingers.
His ears were also buzzing, and his head seemed to be covered with a thick quilt, which was stuffy and heavy.
The previous feeling of almost starving to death reappeared, and the incomparable fear and despair in my heart appeared.
In a daze, I heard the sound of someone pushing the door.
Then Zhou Mei's figure appeared.
She walked to the bed with brown sugar porridge and fed me bite by bite.
That's when I realized that she was scarred.
There was a blood hole in the place of the collarbone on both sides, and the bubbling blood stained the clothes on her chest, which was shocking!
"Don't be stupid in the future, even if you can escape from the Zhou family, you can't escape Zhou Jixian's clutches. Unless, you can learn Zuo Yi's skills seven or eight times out of ten, it is possible to completely get rid of the Zhou family. ”
This is the first time I have heard Zhou Mei speak, and her voice is tactful and crisp, refreshing.
However, these words came from the mouth of a seven or eight-year-old child, and it was very surprising.
"You have a good rest, I will come to see you again when I have the chance."
Zhou Mei picked up the empty bowl and walked out, stopped after a few steps, turned her head to look at me and said, "Your name is Qin Fang, right?" ”
I let out an "um" sound, and everything in front of me gradually blurred a little.
Although he had drunk the brown sugar porridge brought by Zhou Mei just now, his body was still extremely weak.
"Zhou Xianji said to the outside world that I was his daughter, and you were the child son-in-law he recruited, and I was your nominal fiancée. If one day, you have the ability to leave the Zhou family and get rid of Zhou Jixian's control, can you take me with you? ”
Zhou Mei's voice came intermittently in my ears, and I suddenly thought of the tragic situation of her being locked in an iron cage, so I nodded with all my might: "Yes!" ”
"I hope you remember the promise made tonight."
Zhou Mei turned her head, her thin back looked extremely lonely.
As I watched the door close, my eyes darkened and I lost consciousness.
By the time I woke up, it was two days later.
Zhou Jixian and Mr. Zuo gathered around the bed, with an incredible look on their faces.
Normal people don't eat or drink, and they die in three days at most.
When Zhou Ji locked me in the room first, he didn't even leave saliva, and it is said that I will not survive for three days.
What they didn't know was that I had a small half bowl of leftover tea under my bed.
Also, I was in bed all the time, and I basically didn't have much consumption.
"It seems that your life is very hard, and you haven't died after seven days of starvation."
Zhou Jixian squinted his eyes and smiled, his face changed suddenly: "No, it was Mei'er's girl who secretly came over to bring you food." Two days ago, I was out on an errand, and the key was in the bedroom, and she knew it. ”
So he grabbed me by the hair, picked me up, put it against the wall, and said, "Answer me, is that so?" ”
I shook my head weakly, naturally not admitting it.
Zhou Jixian suddenly went crazy, grabbed my neck with both hands, and said hysterically: "There is her residual breath on the key, and the lock of your door has traces of being opened, do you dare to say that you don't have it?" ”
I choked instantly, my tongue sticking out involuntarily.
"Okay, I finally found this seedling, do you really want to kill him?"
Mr. Zuo grabbed Zhou Jixian's arm and said, "Even if the girl gave him food, it can only be said that this kid's life should not be extinguished, and if you want to find it, you should also go to the girl." ”
Hearing this, I was extremely nervous, for fear that Zhou Ji would be angry with Zhou Mei first.
"Sir is right, this kid is indeed a good seedling, and it is still useful to keep it." Zhou Jixian slowly let go of his hand, threw me on the bed, and said to Mr. Zuo: "Then trouble Mr. Zuo to bother more, whether it succeeds or not, Mr. Zuo is the great benefactor of my Zhou family." ”
"It's just a matter of cooperating and exploiting each other, and there's no need to talk about such high-sounding nonsense."
Mr. Zuo's attitude towards Mr. Zhou Ji was very cold.
I wasn't very awake in the first place, but I was tossed by Zhou Jixian and fainted again.
In a daze, I heard Zhou Jixian's vicious curse on Zhou Mei.
There was also the sound of whipping out.
Zhou Mei's scarred appearance appeared in front of me again.
The old wounds have not healed, and countless new ones have been added.
The whole body was bloody, and there was hardly a place in the right place.
"Don't!"
I woke up screaming and realized it was just a nightmare.
But the next moment, an extremely miserable murmur came from Zhou Mei's room.
