Chapter 103: The Desolate World, the World of Sorrow and Joy (I)
The further you go, the more people flow, and it gradually crowds out.
In order to see what was going on, Gongliang had no choice but to squeeze forward with his burly and strong figure.
Mi Gu sat on the neck of the baba and couldn't enjoy it, and flew up to watch.
The four-armed can't fly, but the little thing is also smart, "boom", sitting on Gongliang's head, stretching his neck to look ahead.
Gongliang was suddenly angry and shook his head vigorously, but he didn't know what was going on with this little thing, his body was so balanced that he couldn't shake it off. Gongliang reached out angrily and grabbed it, this little thing is also a ghost, and with a "bang", he ran back to his shoulder and sat honestly.
As long as he doesn't sit on his head with that big ass without pants, Gongliang doesn't care about him.
The fat round ball originally followed Gongliang's side, but when he reached a crowded place, he couldn't squeeze in. There was no way, so he could only stand up, lie behind him, and walk slowly.
If it was a beauty, Gongliang would be willing to let her lie down. But a panda, how he thinks and how it feels weird.
So, he said, ", can you not lie on my back, can't you walk by yourself?"
Yuan Roll shouted behind him: "No, I can't walk without lying on you." ”
Gongliang glanced at it and said, "Are you a broken leg or something, you have to lie on me."
In fact, Yuanpian was afraid that he would not be able to go in to see the excitement when he was blocked by the crowd after a while. Besides, lying on Gongliang's body, it doesn't have to walk by itself, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, how good. Look, how smart it is.
Gongliang saw that it didn't leave, and there was no way, so he could only squeeze forward like this.
The front was already crowded, and he drilled in, which immediately attracted a lot of anger.
It's just that when these people turned their heads and saw the cute and cute round lying behind him, they were immediately happy.
Everyone was embarrassed to look at the round and turned their heads.
Everyone was so shy that they laughed out loud.
It took a lot of effort to squeeze to the front, and Gongliang found out what this excitement was.
A few steps ahead, a group of officials stood guard in front of everyone with swords in their hands to prevent anyone from rushing in. A few meters ahead, there was an open field, and on the ground kneeled several rows of prisoners, each with a white wooden sign with the vermilion word "Chop" on it.
Next to these prisoners, a group of female dependents knelt on the ground and screamed, shouting, and screaming, all miserable.
It is estimated that it is rare to see such a scene several times a year, and the people who come around to watch the excitement are talking.
"I'm afraid there will be a few more lonely ghosts in the mass grave outside the city today!"
"This time, I guess I can't even do it with lonely souls and wild ghosts, I heard that there are demon beasts eating corpses over there now. ”
"That demon beast is going to be unlucky, not to mention that the people of the Immortal Sect don't let the man-eating beasts and birds enter, even those cultivators will kill them. ”
"But no, aren't these things coming all the way here just to enter the sect? I can't even hold back this little time, it's a pity. ”
"Then what's the matter with us, I think the most pity is Cheng Yan Shuyuan in the imperial history, why did you say that such an honest and honest good official was raided?"
"It should be offended people, the whole day as a royal envoy is either participating in this or that, no matter how honest an official is, he will be unlucky sooner or later. What's more, now the saint is no longer in his prime, and he is getting more and more old and mediocre. ”
"Silence, you want to die! You dare to say this in front of the public, and you are not afraid of being beheaded all over the house. ”
"Alas, I think that back then, my Great Xia never was convicted of words, look at what has become now. ”
"This is not something that I and other ordinary people should consider, I am only worried that the three female babies left behind after the death of the two couples in the imperial history will be bought by the enemy, and I don't know what will happen, alas!"
"Otherwise, you and I will make up and see if we can buy the next person, and I should thank Yan Zhongcheng for his kindness in repeatedly speaking for the people of Longcheng. ”
"This money is probably useless, but it's better than nothing, so let's make it up, and I'll ask a few more to see if you're willing. ”
"I'll ask too. ”
"Then I'll ask too. ”
Gongliang listened curiously next to him, and he didn't know what these people were doing with the money?
Mi Gu flew on it for a while, and then returned to Baba Baba's shoulder. She had never seen this kind of scene before, and she was very curious, even if she stood on Baba shoulder, she tried to stretch her neck and look forward, and she didn't even pay attention to her good friend Zha with four arms to greet her.
Behind a group of prison uniforms, in a makeshift prison shed.
One of the officials looked at the sky, pulled out a token from the table, and shouted, "The hour has come, behead." With that, he threw the token on the ground.
When a row of fierce executioners heard the order, they immediately walked up to the prisoners with ghost-headed knives in their hands and pulled out the long white sign with the word "chop" written on it.
On the side of the prisoner, the female dependents kneeling on the ground seemed to have a premonition, and they cried bitterly:
"Father"
"Mother's Parent"
"Mi'er"
"Lang Jun"
The voice screamed, and the voice was desolate, like a cuckoo crying blood, and an ape screaming.
At this moment, even the hardest-hearted person will inevitably feel a mess in his heart when he hears these cries.
Gongliang could hear and look over to the women, and saw a group of women, old, young, and young, kneeling on the ground, shouting loudly at the prisoners who were about to be beheaded. Some even couldn't help but rush up, wanting to go to the underworld with their families. It's a pity that he was stopped by a group of officials and couldn't move forward half a step.
Suddenly, Gongliang found three young ladies kneeling next to the female dependents.
The eldest of these three was in his teens, and the youngest was only seven or eight years old.
As if sensing something, the three of them hugged each other tightly, trembling, but their eyes were fixed on the two figures of the prisoners who were about to be beheaded, and tears kept falling from their eyes. That look looked so helpless, so lonely, so sad.
The sun was shining, and a wisp was imprinted on the ghost head knife, emitting a cold light that shot into people's hearts.
The fierce-looking executioner raised his long knife high and slashed down, blood splattered, and the head fell to the ground.
When the women next to them saw this scene, some cried even more poignantly, some were paralyzed, and some fainted in fright. The three sisters hugged each other tightly, as if they were not so, and could not drive away the cold of this world.
Among the people who watched the excitement, some hurriedly covered their children's eyes, some quickly turned their heads to the side, and some were very excited.
Gongliang and Mi Gu and Yuan Rolling They came from the Great Wilderness, and they didn't know how many beasts and birds they had killed along the way, and they didn't pay attention to this bit of bloodshed at all.
Immediately after the murder of the prisoner, someone came to drag the body away, and the female relatives next to him were immediately escorted over.
At this time, Gongliang understood why the people were pooling the money, it turned out to be for auction.
According to the laws of Great Xia, after committing an offence, all of them will be confiscated as slaves, and at the same time as the execution, the dependents will be auctioned on the spot.
Like this kind of official auction, the price is very low. So, some people buy one or two to go home even if they don't have much money at home. Because one more person in the family means one more laborer and one more income. After buying them back, the life and death of these people are in the hands of the master's family, and the kind ones will naturally treat them kindly; if they encounter people with bad hearts and ruthless hands, these people who are bought back are not as good as pigs and dogs.
