Chapter 67: In the Midst of the Bondage (4)
When he was sleepless at night, he moved his hands and feet, and the iron chain was pulled, causing the sound of "jingling" to vibrate.
Hearing a sound at the door, the old woman who had helped him go to the toilet came with a dung bucket in her hand.
Sleepless at night and hurriedly said: "If you have to go to the toilet, the old man can retreat by himself." ”
The old woman paused, and was about to turn around and walk away, when she asked tentatively after sleeplessness: "Old man, can you see if there is anything on my back?" It hurts me, and I feel uncomfortable in every way. ”
The old woman thought for a while, obviously weighing the pros and cons of doing so.
glanced out and saw that there was no one outside, so he quickly pointed at him, "Abba Aba" a few times, and gestured with his hand for a while.
Only then did I realize that this old woman was a mute! I bathed him several times before, but I didn't even notice it.
He didn't know sign language, but the old woman's gestures were very vivid and could barely understand the meaning.
She probably said, "I don't have to turn around to look, I've already seen it when I wipe your back." There's a scimitar hooked into your lute bone. ”
Sleepless at night with a wry smile, it seems that the facts are exactly what I guessed.
After the old woman left, she secretly complained at night: "Now like this, how can it be good? ”
Looking around, the cage is gloomy and dark, the prison door is solid and difficult to break, and the back scimitar hooks the bones, teaching people to run the slightest internal force, as if they are in the abyss.
In this situation, the long song should cry!
When people are sad, they are prone to cranky thoughts. In other words, when people are cranky, they are even more sad.
He thought of himself, in the midst of being detained, he couldn't help himself, and then his fate was all manipulated by others, not to mention that he was going to find out the cause of the master's death, that is, to see the young lady again, is it still possible in this life?
In "Historical Records: The Biography of Li Silie", Li Si was about to be beheaded in Xianyang, and he asked his son: "I want to go out to Cai Dongmen with Ruofu to chase the cunning rabbit with the yellow dog, how can I get it?" Father and son hugged their heads and cried.
Sleepless Night's mood now is probably the same as Li Si's, thinking that she may never see Luo Xiangzhu again in this life, and her words of "I don't want to see you when I don't go to Huangquan" that day turned out to be a prophecy.
The nose was sore, and a line of snotty nose flowed out directly, and I couldn't hold back anymore, and I cried bitterly.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and the jailer who had brought him food walked to the door.
Looking at the sleepless night crying loudly, the forbidden son sneered: "You haven't eaten anything here, your daily meals are delivered on time, and someone takes care of you Lazar, so what else do you have to cry about?"
This is not grandma's house, not for enjoyment, this is Changsha Prison! Come here, it's a dragon, you have to coil, it's a tiger, you have to lie on my stomach! ”
Sleepless at night, he ignored him, and cried again until his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see, and then he was about to stop. The sound of footsteps in his ears gradually moved away, and his heart jumped suddenly, as if there was a life-saving straw that suddenly stretched out for him from the mouth of the well.
In what the jailer said just now, he said, "It's a dragon, you have to coil it."
The speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, and he woke him up!
Sleepless at night, he suddenly thought: "Haven't I been so injured these days that my memories have been wiped out?" In my ignorance that day, I had a strange dream that I was a dragon in captivity, and there was a knife stuck in the keel...... How similar is the scene in the dream to what it is now? ”
The cell is the golden cage of the dream; The hook knife in the pipa bone is the knife in the keel of the dream; I have received it on behalf of Zhang Daqiu, which happens to correspond to the fact that after Xiaojiao swallowed the Dragon Pill in his dream, he received it for the Golden Demon Dragon!
That dream is not a vague dream, but a hint and a guide!
Sadly, he almost missed the hint.
After all, people who are in good health can forget seven or eight points when they dream and wake up; Not to mention sleepless nights when you are seriously injured.
His strange dream, when he woke up, had been completely forgotten, and if it hadn't been for the cold taunt of the jailer today, this dream would have been forgotten somewhere in the memory.
Recalling this dream, I followed the clues in my mind at night, and remembered the "Evil of the Imprisoned Dragon" mentioned by Qi Lianxiao, the eight-step god machine in the Zhemei Inn.
He pondered and said: "I swallowed the dragon pill in my dream, turned into a dragon, and was imprisoned, doesn't this just imply that my calamity is the evil of the imprisoned dragon?" ”
The more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
Dreams are ethereal, and even most of the dreams are made randomly, but the "Evil of the Imprisoned Dragon" as a prediction itself is also a very mysterious thing, but two mysterious things happen together, and many aspects can be correct.
I can't help but have sleepless nights and don't believe it.
It is precisely because of this that he has a sense of grasping at a life-saving straw!
"It's also that I was too seriously injured before, and in the past few days, I have been struggling to breathe, just trying to eat enough, and I have forgotten about the Evil of the Imprisoned Dragon!
Or now that I have a full stomach and my energy has recovered a little, I will remember that the Lord of Qi Helm once gave me a centipede, and gave it to me in a sandalwood box, saying that it could solve this problem. I listened to her, put the centipede in my arms and carried it, an earthworm every day, so that I could feed it alive, and I refused to let go and never abandoned it. ”
His mind moved: "Where are the centipedes now?" Come and help me out! ”
He habitually looked into his arms.
He was only wearing a thin prison robe, except for his emaciated body, which was empty, where was the sandalwood box containing centipedes?
Even if there is, this time he was arrested and imprisoned, and the things in his arms would definitely be searched out by the Jinyi guard first, how could he be allowed to carry them in.
When he was anxious, he suddenly woke up: "Yes! A few days before this incident, the centipede bit through the box several times, got out, and finally hid in my hair and hibernated! ”
Thinking of this, he began to feel anxious again.
It was raining that day, and even though I wore a turban and a hat, it was inevitable that water would get into my hair. Coupled with a large fight, desperate, and his body swaying around, I don't know if Brother Centipede is still in his hair now?
Has it been bumped off?
He hurriedly called tentatively: "Brother Centipede, Brother Centipede, are you there?" ”
When he fed the centipede before, he did not call it "Brother Centipede", but later the centipede bit the sandalwood box many times, and he called him "Brother Centipede" several times.
There is no way to shout like this now. If the hands and feet are idle and not bound, they must be probed with their hands, so why shout like this?
After shouting a few times, he didn't call out the centipede, but called the jailer over.
Sleepless at night, he couldn't see him, but continued to call the centipede. The jailer scolded, "You're crazy, aren't you? How can a centipede be your brother? ”
I couldn't sleep at night and ignored him. The jailer said "hey" and was about to draw the whip from his waist and go into the prison to beat him.
