With the scorching sun on their heads, their bodies under heavy shackles, their mouths being dry, and fatigue, the speed of the group of four people is getting slower and slower.

"Phew, it's not fucking human's work."

"You two, go this way!"

The two officials complained a few words about their work, probably because it was too sunny, so they shouted Li Zhengyi and Wuwu Dalang and turned them into a leafy alley.

Almost as soon as I entered the shade of the tree, I felt some shade, but my mouth was still thirsty, and I was afraid that I would suffer along the way.

There are still eight days, even if there were some ideological preparations before, but now this situation has made Li Zhengyi extremely depressed.

"Whoa... Crash... Whoa..."

With every step, the iron chain under his feet would sound, and time seemed to become more and more slow, coupled with the heavy wooden flail around his neck, Li Zhengyi's footsteps also became sluggish.

In addition, the path is remote and rugged, and the weeds and vines under their feet make it difficult for the two with shackles.

Now they are a little nostalgic for the old road, although they have sunbathed a little, but there is no danger of tripping at any time.

If you fall to the ground and the shackles around your neck are accidentally knocked on, it will definitely not taste good.

Fortunately, the two officials also understood their hardships and did not rush or scold.

One in front and one behind, walking slowly on the ground with a water and fire stick and pestle, laughing a few words from time to time.

"You two walk slowly, the road is still long, it will take a month or two to get to Mengzhou, it's okay to be idle and bored and talk."

"Huh... Also, as public servants, the two of us are not good at favoritism, and it is okay to talk, but I am afraid of expressing our feelings. ”

"This journey is far away, it is so difficult for half a day after you come out, in case the two of you die of exhaustion on this road, our brother is sad, and he will have to be reprimanded by Shangguan when he goes back."

"Yes, go slowly. As long as you live, you will be sent to the prison city of Mengzhou. However, I heard that it was even more difficult over there, the cells where the prisoners were held were damp and crowded, and people often died of illness, not to mention that they had to do coolies to repair the city, and they couldn't straighten their waists after a day. ”

"Really? The prisoner is afraid that if he can't do it for two years, he will be exhausted to death, right? ”

The two officials are one fat and one thin, the fat one has a short beard, and the thin one has a mole on his face. I don't know whether the words of the two of them are true or false, but when I heard it, Li Zhengyi was fine, but Wu Dalang's face became extremely pale.

Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, the white fat mustache rolled his eyes and said: "Hey, Li Er, anyway, you have nothing to do, tell us what kind of ability the Pan lady has, so that the Ximen officials are willing to do this." ”

It seems that these two officials also knew that they were framed, but they dared to say it so unscrupulously, Li Zhengyi's heart sank......

Seeing that he didn't speak, the official was not angry, but continued to laugh and said: "Mrs. Pan has such a good figure and a cute little face, I really don't know which hungry dog's mouth will fall into next." ”

"When the time comes, she will call the heavens and the earth to be spiritual."

"Hahaha!"

The unbridled laughter of the two officials slowly spread in the quiet dense forest, startling a few crows in the distant woods.

After walking for a while, the two officials also felt a little tired and sat down directly against the trunk of the tree.

"I'm so fucking tired, it's November, I didn't expect this day to be so poisonous, rest, rest for a while before leaving."

Li Zhengyi was also about to be unable to walk, but he couldn't lie down directly like the two officials, because the wooden flail around his neck couldn't lean on anything else at all.

I had to find a small dirt slope and sit down, but my upper body was still suffering from heavy shackles.

Wu Dalang next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he lay down without hesitation, even if his neck was uncomfortable, he didn't care.

Seeing that he was almost a miserable person with more air in and less air out, Li Zhengyi couldn't help but suspect that if he continued like this, he was afraid that Wu Dalang would be boiled to death in a day or two.

But there was nothing he could do, and now he was almost a little difficult to maintain himself.

"Hey, you two are tired, aren't you?"

"Now, take off the shackles around your necks and rest for a while, but you'll have to put them back on when you go."

Really?!

"Isn't that right? What if the two of them run away, where can we chase after this wilderness? “

As soon as the two of them were excited, they heard the thin man retort that it was not allowed, and before they could make a guarantee, the fat white mustache had already gotten up and walked over.

"What are you afraid of, aren't they still wearing shackles? It's nothing for a while, so you can't have a bodhisattva's heart? “

Saying that, the white and fat official began to lift the shackles around the necks of the two, and the thin man came to help even if he couldn't help it.

"Thanks... Thank you ......."

After the heavy shackles were removed, I immediately felt that the whole person had become much more relaxed, and there was a sense of contrast.

"Whew~"

After a long exhale, his back stretched at least two inches.

"It's okay, just be considerate of each other, just don't take advantage of the opportunity to sneak away, haha."

As he spoke, the two officials returned to the trunk of the tree just now, and found a comfortable position to lie down and rest. Probably because of the dazzling sunlight shining through the gaps in the branches and leaves, he pulled two wide leaves to cover his eyes.

Li Zhengyi and Wu Dalang also lay on the dirt slope, panting heavily, never thinking that the opportunity to breathe freely would be so cherished.

But when I thought that I would have to put it on again when I was in a hurry, my eyes became extremely bitter.

But...... Li Zhengyi is brewing some ideas in his mind, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Who knows if these two officials will be kind again.

"Whew~Whew~"

The group of four lay down and rested in this way, and it didn't take long for there to be a burst of snoring.

Li Zhengyi's eyes opened suddenly, and then he raised his head slightly and glanced at the two officials who were about ten meters away.

Wu Dalang, who originally thought he was asleep, sat up directly, worried that he would alarm the official and become shrunken again, for fear of making a little more noise.

An expression of surprise immediately appeared on his pale face, and when he turned his head, he found that Li Zhengyi also sat up quietly.

The two looked at each other, and they both found that each other's eyes were a little scary.

God help me, don't leave now, wait for when!

Wu Dalang thought that as long as he escaped, he would find a place to hide, and when his brother came back, he would be able to settle his grievances, and maybe he would have a chance to be a new person at that time.

And what Li Zhengyi thought was that as long as he escaped, he could at least find a place to cat for a few days, and then he would be able to return unharmed.

Even...... Maybe there's still a chance to slash the enemy!

Walk! Gotta go now!

pointed to the sleeping official, and signaled Wu Dalang not to make a sound, and then quietly got up......
