Waiting is an extremely difficult and torturous thing.
It was even more so while waiting to be tortured. Li Zhengyi stood by the wall, feeling deeply tortured in his heart.
Time seemed to pass a bit too fast, and I thought it would be better for the official who came to call me to wait a little longer. But I can’t help but want to come quickly and let all this pass as soon as possible...
Afraid of being discovered later, he hid his weapons under the haystack. It didn't take long before he picked up the cold and sharp spear tip again. If there was a chance, he must give it a try.
Maybe? There should be a chance!
Li Zhengyi's heart started beating loudly again, still strong and powerful.
The official finally came to call him. Li Zhengyi took a deep breath, clasped his hands and walked out with firm steps.
But it was different from the previous situation. Four people were sent by the official. As soon as they left the cell, they were violently pushed to the wall and then handcuffed with cold iron chains before letting him go.
Is this the price of fame? A wry smile appeared on Li Zhengyi's lips.
After being squeezed out of prison, it felt like a lifetime ago.
He discovered that the sun was actually setting early, which was quite different from the time he thought.
The sun was still shining brightly, and it should be not long after noon now. It was just because the high city walls blocked the sun, making the light in the prison a little darker.
Li Zhengyi, who was locked in the prison car, squinted his eyes, but couldn't help but greedily look up at the sun from time to time.
Although he didn't know the road, he guessed that it was the direction to the county government office, which was a bit funny.
When I first came here, I wanted to go to the county government office to see Wu Song, but I never went there, but I didn’t expect that the first time I went there, it would look like this...
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..."
Li Zhengyi came back again, his ankles were replaced with heavier chains, and two policemen pushed him back to the Yanggu County jail with anger on their faces.
He walked unsteadily and put on a prison uniform. The brilliance in his eyes became more restrained and at the same time a little more dazed.
"Hurry up and get me in! He's such a rascal who doesn't know the boundaries of heaven and earth. He's causing the great men to be scolded!"
"Get out of there yet!"
When he opened the cell door, he felt that Li Zhengyi's movements were too slow, so one of the policemen slammed him in with a sheathed knife.
"Snapped!"
His feet were caught by the iron chain, and Li Zhengyi fell forward two steps and then fell hard to the ground.
Wet muddy water and hay stuck to his face, but he didn't get up. Instead, he lay there with his face covered.
"Forget it, look at his hopeless look, let's go, let's go drink."
"Bah, it's an advantage for him..."
The two police officers left cursing, and Wu Dalang, who was leaning in the corner, slowly moved over.
"Brother Li, are you okay? Lie down on the hay over there, it will make you feel more comfortable."
How is Li Zhengyi? It's probably not very good.
His butt was split open, and blood had seeped out of his pants. The skin was so torn that it even stuck to the fabric.
In fact, he could have avoided any punishment at all, but during the interrogation, the two wooden boards hidden on his chest and back were found, as well as the sharp gun tip.
The four officers who escorted him were scolded for this, and Li Zhengyi himself was beaten fifty times, which is why he ended up like this.
The officials hated him because of this and tortured him a lot when they were escorted back.
"Come on, brother Li, get up quickly. There is water on the ground. You will get sick if you lie down here."
It was unusually quiet in the cell. After a while, Li Zhengyi raised his head and crawled towards the haystack by the wall little by little.
In the dim light, one could vaguely see a large word "Jie" carved on his forehead.
After climbing onto the haystack, he remained motionless again, and the dark cell fell silent.
Until the afternoon, Li Zhengyi was still lying there, staring blankly at the wall, as if a hole would open for him to escape at some point.
I don't know how long it took, but it gradually seemed to come to life. The rotten rice that the jailer poured into the broken bowl remained untouched. Wu Dalang ate it by himself after trying to persuade him several times to no avail.
Unable to dislike mice and cockroaches anymore, Li Zhengyi no longer stood against the wall or sat down at night, but just lay there all night.
Even if his physique is stronger than ordinary people, I am afraid he will have to live like this for the next few days.
This night he had a strange dream, and he seemed to be avoiding something in his dream.
The next day, he became confused. He had a fever and said some nonsense that Wu Dalang couldn't understand.
He also ate all the prison food for this day, which was force-fed by Wu Dalang. He was even so confused that he could hardly open his eyes, and his mouth instinctively swallowed the leftover food with an unknown taste.
After lying on the hay in the cell for another night, Li Zhengyi gradually regained his consciousness. When it was time to put out the meal, he took the initiative to pick up the bowl of rancid leftovers.
In the evening, I started joking with Wu Dalang, as if all the ordeals had never happened.
"Hey, Wuhan University, what does that lady look like? Is she good-looking or not?"
"How about taking me to see you when you go out? Hehe..."
well……
Wu Dalang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, how long has it been since then, and the second brother Li still has this thought.
Those who don't know think that they are safe and sound now. They are indeed well-known good men, and their magnanimity alone is enough to be praised.
I originally imagined that my brother Wu Song would be able to rescue him immediately after he came back, but now seeing Ximen Qing's vicious methods, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Wu Dalang sighed one after another.
But it seemed to ruin Li Zhengyi's good mood. He said unhappily: "Why are you sighing? Tell me what kind of cute look that lady looks like."
Wu Dalang thought that he could only stay in the cell obediently now and just relax with his second brother Li.
So I thought about it: "That lady, she has just turned 28, she looks like that..."
In the dark cell, two voices whispered something, and from time to time they made a few strange laughs, echoing in the darkness.
Enjoying the pain, that's all...
On the third day, Li Zhengyi could walk slowly.
This power of recovery surprised Wu Dalang and made him even more envious. The injuries on his body had only begun to scab now.
However, Li Zhengyi was not complacent. Apart from his stronger physique, it was mainly because Wu Dalang's injuries were more serious than him.
After having breakfast that day, Li Zhengyi missed the mutton soup at the stall and the cooked beef cooked by Pan Jinlian.
Looking at the shabby prison uniform that I am now wearing, I can't help but feel that I have done everything I want to eat when I am hungry, and I have chosen clothes when I am poor.
Next, will it be the turn of the desperate and poor to choose a wife?
After laughing at himself, he felt that it was not interesting, so he started bragging and spanking with Wu Dalang again to kill time.
