Chapter 45: Night

"Second Brother Li?"

There was no word in the darkness for a long time, and the silence seemed to swallow everything.

Wu Dalang saw that Li Zhengyi had not spoken, and he was afraid that he would not be able to think of doing something irrational for a while.

"You speak, Second Brother Li."

"Don't bother me! Let me be quiet for a moment. ”

If it weren't for saving this Wu Dalang, he wouldn't have been imprisoned. To say that there is not some hatred in the heart must be false.

But now that it's all happening, blindly complaining will not only not solve the problem, but will make you more irritable.

Li Zhengyi leaned against the corner of the wall, quietly observing and thinking.

One side of the cell was a thick wall, and the other was guarded on the outside, and it was a fool's dream to get out by destroying the wall.

As for digging tunnels, it is even more impossible, not to mention whether more than ten days is enough, just Ximenqing's cautious guy, I am afraid that he will not let himself spend so long in the cell safely.

But what else can be done?

Being locked in this dark cell, without even anyone to consult, Li Zhengyi's heart couldn't help but feel a little powerless.

As for Wu Dalang next to him, he automatically ignored it.

It is dark when you close your eyes, and it is dark when you open your eyes.

Even if you keep your eyes open after a long time, you may have the illusion that you have closed your eyes.

I couldn't find any solution to the current dilemma from the system panel, and I don't know how long it took, Li Zhengyi sat in a daze and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

When I opened my eyes, I found that I had returned to the wall of the small courtyard in Miaoshan Village.

The sky was overcast, as if it had just rained, and the ground was very wet.

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Li Zhengyi was very happy, after all, he escaped from prison.

It's a little inexplicable, but looking at the surrounding environment, it's really not in prison in the Water Margin world.

But why did he appear on the wall of the small courtyard of Temple Mountain?

Li Zhengyi looked down and saw a nest of terrible centipedes meandering under the wall.

Hey, did you climb up to the wall to avoid these things?

Those centipedes are afraid that there are as many as twenty or thirty, and their appearance is very hideous and terrifying.

The body is exaggerated with the length of a forearm, the carapace on the back is shiny, the feet are as sharp as an iron hook, and the pair of fangs on the mouthparts make people feel chills just by looking at them.

The tentacles on its head swayed around, as if searching for prey.

Li Zhengyi, who has a slightly dense phobia, felt extremely disgusted as he watched those sinuous centipedes gather together, almost forming a sphere, rolling up and down.

I can't stay any longer, I'm going to jump out of the yard from the wall and find someone to deal with it.

What??!

But as soon as he moved, his body jumped uncontrollably into the courtyard, landing right next to the tumbling centipede.

The flat and solid ground in the yard turned into soft soil for some reason, and Li Zhengyi didn't stand firm after falling, and almost stumbled on top of those centipedes.

But even though he controlled his body, the centipede suddenly exploded as if it smelled fishy, and quickly swam towards him.

The larger one was unusually swift, crawling onto him before he could dodge.

The centipede's entire body slipped through his trouser leg and quickly moved up his flesh.

It was as if it had been pierced by countless hot iron needles, and it was extremely painful, but it was like a voice that could not be screamed.

The centipede had already crawled up to his waist, which made Li Zhengyi extremely panicked, but there was nothing he could do.

Then came the chest, shoulders, arms......

Seeing the hideous mouthparts stand up from his arm, Li Zhengyi burst out with all his strength to throw the thing out.

Unexpectedly, the terrifying centipede actually ejected from its arm and pounced viciously towards Li Zhengyi's head.

He was terrified, and he opened his mouth wide but still couldn't make a sound......

"Ahh

A short cry suddenly erupted in the darkness, and Li Zhengyi stood up from the hay in the cell with a thud, and at the same time shook his right hand violently.

A dark shadow was thrown off his arm and landed on the damp ground not far away.

"Squeak! Squeak squeak......"

Is it a rat?

"What a noise! I'm going to die?! ”

Li Zhengyi stood in the dark, his chest rising and falling violently.

If you could see him, you would see that he was sweating profusely at this time, his face was pale, and there was still some horror in his eyes.

The shouting in the cell did not continue, and the jailer at the door did not know where to hide and be lazy.

Unless someone really died inside, they didn't have the time to take care of other things.

"Second Brother Li, are you okay? Forbearance is over, and rats will not bite. ”

Wu Dalang's words came from the darkness, and he could vaguely be seen sitting on the other side, as if he had never slept.

I don't know if he is comforting others or self-comforting, Li Zhengyi did not reply.

The unusually real nightmare just now scared him.

He didn't sit down again, but leaned against the cold wall, observing everything in the darkness.

From birth to the present, Li Zhengyi has never experienced such a night.

Dark, silent, cold, damp, dirty......

He felt that he could use all the bad words in his current environment.

Only now did Li Zhengyi understand that there was such a big gap between fantasy and reality, and he had never really understood the evil in the world.

Whether it is in the Overworld or in the Otherworld, the true face of life is only now revealed to him.

The night was very long, and when the light shining in through the cracks in the small iron window gradually brightened, Li Zhengyi returned to normal.

However, there was still some silence, and the brilliance in his eyes became much more restrained.

At some point, the jailer came in with a bucket of rancid porridge, leaving a small bowl for each of them, and went out with the remaining half of the bucket.

Even though he was already a little hungry in his stomach, Li Zhengyi wouldn't touch it at all, so he gave it to Wu Dalang on the side.

"Wu Dalang, it's time for you to go to trial......

I don't know how long it took, an official came in and took Wu Dalang out.

Time is unusually slow, but light and shadow change quickly. When the light shining in from the small iron window began to dim again, Wu Dalang was sent back.

But he was dragged in, his back was dripping with blood, his hands and feet were chained, and his forehead was tattooed.

I wanted to help him up, but I felt a little overwhelmed.

In the end, Wu Dalang slowly breathed a sigh of relief on his own, and struggled to crawl to the grass pile next to him, and Li Zhengyi helped him adjust his position in time.

"Lee... Brother Li, I'm sorry... I... I recruited ......"

Li Zhengyi only now discovered that Wu Dalang's ten fingers had also become fleshy, and he thought that courage was not just words.

Wait a while, can you endure such torture? I'm afraid that just this punishment of fingers will be unbearable.

"It's okay, you can rest first."
