"Brother Li?"
There was no sound of words in the darkness for a long time, and the silence seemed to swallow up everything.
Wu Dalang saw that Li Zhengyi had been silent and was afraid that he would do something irrational because he couldn't think of it.
"Speak, Brother Li."
"Leave me alone! Leave me alone for a while."
If he hadn't saved Wu Dalang, he wouldn't have been imprisoned. To say that there is no hatred in my heart would be false.
But now that it has happened, blindly complaining will not only fail to solve the problem, but will make yourself even more irritable and restless.
Li Zhengyi leaned against the wall, observing and thinking quietly.
One side of this cell is a thick wall, and there are people guarding the outside of the other wall. It is simply a fantasy to try to get out by destroying the wall.
As for digging a tunnel, it was even more impossible. Not to mention whether more than ten days would be enough, Ximen Qing, a cautious guy, might not let himself spend such a long time in the cell safely.
But what other ways could there be?
Being locked up in this dark cell with no one to consult with, Li Zhengyi couldn't help but feel a little powerless in his heart.
As for Wu Dalang next to him, he automatically ignored him.
It's darkness when you close your eyes, and it's darkness when you open your eyes.
Over time, even if you keep your eyes open, you may have the illusion that you have closed your eyes.
There was no solution to the current predicament from the system panel. After an unknown amount of time, Li Zhengyi sat in silence and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
When I opened my eyes, I found that I was back on the wall of the courtyard of Miaoshan Village.
The sky was overcast, as if it had just rained, and the ground was also very wet.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, Li Zhengyi was very happy. After all, he had escaped from prison.
It's a bit baffling, but looking at the surrounding environment, it is indeed no longer in a prison in the Water Margin world.
But why did he appear on the wall of Miaoshan courtyard?
Li Zhengyi looked down and saw a nest of terrifying centipedes snaking under the wall.
Hiss, did you climb up the wall to avoid these things?
There were probably as many as twenty or thirty centipedes, and their appearance was very ferocious and terrifying.
The figure is exaggerated, with forearms as short as forearms, the carapace on its back is shiny, the opposite steps are as sharp as iron hooks, and the pair of fangs on its mouth give people chills just by looking at it.
The tentacles on its head swing around, as if searching for prey everywhere.
Li Zhengyi, who has a slight trypophobia, felt extremely sick when he saw those winding centipedes gathered together, almost forming a ball, rolling up and down.
I can't stay any longer. I have to jump from the wall to the outside of the yard and find someone to deal with these things.
What? ? !
But as soon as he made a move, his body jumped down into the yard uncontrollably, and his foothold was right next to the tumbling centipede.
The flat and solid ground in the yard turned into soft soil for some reason. Li Zhengyi couldn't stand firm after falling down, and almost jumped onto the centipedes with his sprained legs.
But even though he controlled his body shape, the group of centipedes suddenly exploded and quickly moved towards him as if they smelled something fishy.
The larger one was even more unusually fast and climbed on top of him before he could avoid it.
The whole body of the centipede got into his trouser legs, and then moved up quickly on his flesh.
It felt like being pricked by countless hot iron needles. It was extremely painful, but it seemed like I had lost my voice and couldn't make a single cry.
The centipede had crawled up to his waist, which made Li Zhengyi extremely panicked, but there was nothing he could do.
Then it came to the chest, shoulders, arms...
Seeing the ferocious mouthpart standing up from his arm, Li Zhengyi exploded with all his strength to throw the thing away.
Unexpectedly, the terrifying centipede shot up from his arm and fiercely rushed toward Li Zhengyi's head.
He was so frightened that he opened his mouth wide but still couldn't make a sound...
"ah!!"
A short shout suddenly broke out in the darkness, and Li Zhengyi stood up from the hay in the cell with a bang, and at the same time violently shook his right hand.
A black shadow was thrown off his arm and fell to the damp ground not far away.
"Zhizhi! Zhizhizhi..."
Is it a mouse?
"What are you arguing about! Are you going to die?!"
Li Zhengyi stood in the darkness, his chest heaving violently.
If you could see it, you would find that he was sweating profusely, his face was pale, and there was still an aftertaste of panic in his eyes.
The shouting in the cell did not continue, and the guard at the door hid somewhere and was lazy.
Unless someone really died inside, they wouldn't have the time to take care of other things.
"Brother Li, are you okay? Just let it go. Rats won't bite."
Wu Dalang's words came from the darkness, and he could be vaguely seen sitting on the other side, as if he had never slept.
I don't know if he was comforting others or comforting himself, but Li Zhengyi didn't reply.
The extremely real nightmare just now made him a little scared.
He did not sit down again, but leaned against the cold wall, observing everything in the darkness.
From birth to now, Li Zhengyi has never experienced such a night.
Dark, silent, cold, damp, dirty...
He felt that he could apply all bad words to his current environment.
Only now did Li Zhengyi understand that there was such a big gap between fantasy and reality. He had never truly understood the evil in the world.
Whether it is the main world or another world, the true face of life has only now revealed to him the tip of the iceberg.
The dark night passed for a long time, and when the light shining through the cracks in the small iron window gradually became brighter, Li Zhengyi returned to normal.
But there was still some silence, and the sparkle in his eyes became much more restrained.
I don't know what time it was, but the jailer came in with a bucket of rancid porridge. Each person left a small bowl, and then went out with the remaining half of the bucket.
Even though he was already feeling hungry, Li Zhengyi would not touch it at all and gave it to Wu Dalang who was standing aside.
"Wu Dalang, it's time for you to appear in court for trial..."
I don't know how much time passed, but some officials came in and took Wu Dalang out.
Time moves extremely slowly, but the light and shadow change quickly. When the light coming in through 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 with words.
I wanted to help him up, but felt a little unable to do so.
In the end, Wu Dalang slowly regained his breath and struggled to crawl to the haystack nearby. Only then did Li Zhengyi help him adjust his position in time.
"Brother Li...Brother Li, I'm sorry...I...I did it..."
Only now did Li Zhengyi realize that Wu Dalang's fingers had become bruised and bruised. He thought that courage was not just words.
Wait a moment, can you endure such torture? I'm afraid that just the finger pinching punishment will be unbearable.
"It's okay, you can rest first."
