prison song

Chapter 23

【Ancheng Queen of Chu Palace】

Guan Shun excitedly ran to the depths of the palace, opened the wooden boards on the ground and walked down. Within a few steps, there was a stone room, closed on all sides, but a stone table was built at the front, and the table body was uneven. There are small holes, the largest of which is no bigger than a thumb.

He peeped out of his eyes and saw the jailer tied a man in. He was eight feet tall and handsome.

Guan Shun saw the corner of the mouth of the man in front of him unconsciously raised, signaling the boy below to move forward.

"In this way, you only love women?" Guan Shun's face was numb, but the corners of his mouth were still twitching unconsciously, looking at the indifferent man in front of him.

"You don't need to know that much, because you're going to die soon." The man said coldly. From the corner of his eyes, he saw the boy below looking at him with a terrified expression, and he thought it was ridiculous.

You are just a replica of me, who gave you the qualifications to be sad?Guan Shun thought.

"Fire arrows."

Guan Shun stood up while speaking, picked up the wooden cup on the table, shook it in front of his face, showed a wicked smile, and slowly sipped it.

"The man this time is really annoying." Guan Shun put down his glass with self-deprecation.

"That's right, friends of pets, what will happen if they get better?"

After a long time, Guan Shun went to the stone table and looked at the scene below. There were black arrows all over the ground, but there was no one, let alone blood. He saw Qin Huaizhen coming out from the side, and patted the dust on his hands.

"You're not dead yet?" Guan Shun felt a little unbelievable.

"Thanks to you, fate is great."

As soon as Qin Huaizhen turned around, he looked this way and saw Kong where Guan Shun was.

Guan Shun felt his face numb, did he see himself just now?Just thinking about it he turned around.

Standing behind him, King Chu gave him a slap with cold eyes, neither heavy nor light, but to Guan Shun who had never been treated like this, he was stunned.

He covered his face and looked at King Chu, without making a sound. King Chu's hands were still shaking, and his face twitched involuntarily. He immediately recovered his cold expression and said, "Let him out."

"Why?" Guan Shun looked at King Chu with desolation in his eyes.

"Not everyone, you can play tricks on them." The King of Chu said simply.

Guan Shun knew there would be no result if he continued to ask like this, so he quickly got up and rushed over there, suppressing his sobs and changing his voice, "Tie him down."

After Guan Shun saw the two jailers kidnapping Qin Huaizhen, he wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands and turned to walk forward. Unexpectedly, the king of Chu grabbed his hand and hugged him.

Guan Shun's eyes were red, and he said angrily: "You are satisfied, can I go?"

The king of Chu felt distressed when he saw the crying red-nosed man, kissed him lightly, and said into his ear, "I'm sorry, don't be sad."

After hearing this, Guan Shun slowed down his sobbing, and looked at the man with sincere eyes in front of him, he was discouraged, wrapped his arms around his neck and buried his head.

Seeing this, the king of Chu turned around and walked up with him in his arms.

【Anjo·Suburb·Underground】

Qin Huaizhen threw the bench aside and frowned. He thought of the men he saw in the stone corridor, and when he thought of the things in the quilt, he felt disgusted.

Just when Qin Huaizhen was about to walk over, Yan Qing shook his hand at him, signaling him to stand there and not move.

"Bang Dang" sounded crisply.

The door of the next house opened and then closed gently, Yan Qing moved a step to the side to avoid the light from the window, Qin Huaizhen also jumped over lightly when he saw this, and hid behind the door to stand side by side with Yan Qing.

The candlelight outside the window reflected a figure, very thin, and he made a hoarse "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" figure standing in front of the window.

Qin Huaizhen stood there, looking at Yan Qing, Yan Qing was standing by the window, only a step away from him, his expression was still indifferent, and the people outside the window were carefully moving aside.

"Well!"

The person outside the window suddenly let out an exclamation, leaning against the window, Qin Huaizhen looked out the window, opposite was the worn-out quilt, and the dark red blood stain on it had expanded.

Seeing the person outside the window gathering strength and preparing to crawl in, Yan Qing grabbed the person by the neck and dragged him into the house easily. go up.

Before he smashed it, he could see clearly that there was a woman in front of him, as dry as wood, who could almost stand up with a light lift. Unlike the other woman, she was too thin and looked very old.

Qin Huaizhen knocked her head, and she sobbed and passed out.

"Look."

Yan Qing turned his head and looked out the window.

Qin Huaizhen followed his gaze, and the door of the opposite house opened, and they came out, wearing all kinds of clothes, some with flower fans in their hands, all dressed in Western clothes, but the flesh on both sides of their faces was already concave. go in.

Qin Huaizhen stood up and approached the window, looking at these people. Their eyes were dim and their skin was gray. They walked to the river and looked at the boat that was sailing by themselves.

"I have heard that before the state of Chu was established, this place was a meeting place for business transactions in other countries, and commodities from all over the world were resold here." Yan Qing looked at the woman holding a foreign fan on the other side, and walked to The river bowed his head and remained motionless.

"Why underground?"

"The country closed down, and the flow of people had nowhere to go, so they chose to go underground." Yan Qing said.

Qin Huaizhen continued to see that the boat was driving forward around the river, and Qin Huaizhen saw a woman in silk rushing towards the boat, but he didn't expect that the boat was farther than imagined, and it was in vain.

"boom."

A muffled, bone-shattering sound was evidence of the woman's fall to the stone.

The others seem to have seen someone fall, and all retreat back into the house belatedly.

"Go out and see."

Qin Huaizhen pushed open the door and went out, followed by Yan Qing. Now everyone retreated into the house, and temporarily regained their calm, without hesitant voices.

Qin Huaizhen walked into the river and looked down. The woman fell to the ground, her limbs were twisted, her arm joints protruded, her skin was very thin, and her bones pierced the skin like a needle, revealing the dark red blood. Float away.

"This river channel is well repaired, it's the same as a spider's web." Yan Qing followed Qin Huaizhen's gaze and then backed away.

"It's getting closer and closer to us, but there is a separate stone at the end of each lap." Qin Huaizhen got up and walked over there.

"In other words, every time it reaches a certain time, it will get closer." Yan Qing thought.

Qin Huaizhen turned to the opposite side, leaving only Yan Qing standing in place.He approached a bungalow. There was still a copper lamp hanging on the end of the house, and a thick cobweb had already been formed.

Turning the handle like the woman just now, pushed in after hearing a crisp sound, and easily opened the door.

There was a musty smell coming towards him. The table was covered with a patterned cloth, and the Western tea sets were placed on it. They had long been covered with a thick layer of dust.There was also a plate on it, and a group of dark things were placed in a row. I couldn't tell what it was, but the smell came from here.

When Qin Huaizhen wanted to reach for it, he heard a voice: "It's a moldy snack."

Yan Qing stood at the door and said.

Qin Huaizhen pretended not to hear, picked it up and looked at it.

Seeing that he ignored her, Yan Qing walked in on her own, went to Qin Huaizhen's side and said, "How do you think we should get out?"

"Are you in such a hurry?" Qin Huaizhen put down the things in his hands and went forward to check.

"Do you want to die here?" Yan Qing's gaze followed Qin Huaizhen.

"I haven't figured it out yet." Qin Huaizhen returned it without hesitation, and continued walking forward. When he opened the curtain, he saw a vertical wooden cabinet, and opened it.

"Take the person who fell just now, she must know a way to escape from the current situation." Yan Qing sat down and looked at Qin Huaizhen.

"Continue." Qin Huaizhen tried to open the cabinet.

"But for some reason, it failed." Yan Qing looked at the tea set in front of the table, reached out to pick up a cup, and wiped it with his clothes.

"What kind of reason?" Qin Huaizhen found an iron bar nearby, and got up.According to Yan Qing's words, this should be a special dress, pannier, for women from other countries.

"I don't know yet." Yan Qing put the cup on it, because he saw a burnt black spot on it.

"Crack."

The voice came from Qin Huaizhen's direction, and Yan Qing turned his head away.

"Then try it once." Qin Huaizhen raised the iron bar and shook it a few times.

Yan Qing walked over, and there was a woman in a yellow dress sleeping in the closet. She also had a thin face and an old appearance, but she was extremely peaceful. Her breath blew the hair on her, and the straps on her chest followed her every movement. Exhale and wiggle slightly.

Qin Huaizhen and Yan Qing retreated to the first house, only there could be temporary safety.

When I got back to the house, there was already a strong smell of blood inside, which made people sick.But there is no way, because throwing these two things out now, it is not good to waste all previous efforts.

During this period, Qin Huaizhen and Yan Qing had very few conversations. Except for a brief cough and a slight sigh brought by the end of breathing, they didn't even talk to each other, but they both leaned rationally by the window. There were two benches. Sitting opposite.

An hour later.

"Dong dong dong." A bronze bell in the distance rang.

They stood up almost at the same time and looked out the window. They probably admired each other for being so stingy with words, especially Qin Huaizhen, who usually likes to talk poorly. Both of them wanted to break the deadlock quickly.

Sure enough, after the bell rang, the doors on the opposite side also opened one after another. The woman in the yellow dress came out first, wearing leather shoes, holding a fan in her hand, walking slowly, her eyes glazed over, standing by the river.

At this time, the boat was bigger than before, and its shadow had already covered a piece of houses opposite it, and it was about to turn around to block the woman.

"Are you sure she wants to dance?" Yan Qing was a little puzzled.

Qin Huaizhen frowned and looked towards the opposite side. The reason why he wanted to go in just now was because the woman who jumped first had a house next to her, but he was not sure.

"boom!"

Just as the hull of the ship was about to overwhelm their view, a woman next to the yellow skirt jumped down. Compared with the upward jump of the first woman, she jumped straight down.

Seeing that, the woman in the yellow skirt pursed her lips and retreated, and the others also retreated one after another, and the boat sailed around the river to the other side.

Qin Huaizhen opened the door and rushed out. Looking at the track of the ship going far away, he found that it was only one circle away from the outermost circle, and after the outermost circle, it was the shore here. , is a straight road, very long, I don't know where it leads.

"We must go up this time, when the ship returns."

Qin Huaizhen looked at the river and said, because the river has twelve turns in total, it should turn once every hour, and now it has reached the outermost circle, and I don't know where it will go, and whether it will come back. If you want to come back, I don't know the details, but this road leads the farthest.

After a long time, Qin Huaizhen realized that there was no one responding, and when he turned around, there was no sign of Yan Qing.

The sound of "click" sounded.

Qin Huaizhen raised his head and looked opposite, Yan Qing walked into the house again.

Qin Huaizhen felt a little annoyed, and wanted to go over and say something to this person who didn't listen well to others, but found out as soon as he took a step.

As if he did the same thing just now, Qin Huaizhen sighed and walked over.

Walking into the house, I found that on the table by the window, the woman in the yellow skirt was lying on the table, her gloves were still stained with ink, and the inkstone next to it was slightly wet, with some hair strands on it, which looked sticky of.

Yan Qing was standing there, reading a piece of yellowed paper in his hand, Qin Huaizhen came closer, and saw that the Chinese characters on it were crooked, it seemed that they were written hastily, and the ink was even mixed with red.

"I've lived here for almost 50 years and it's nice to still see people coming in from outside, young people who look like me.

The sun has been dark every day for these years. I can't remember how long I haven't seen the sun.I have survived until now, probably because I want to wait for my husband, but this wait has been for many years. Every time the time comes, the girl will come out to comfort me, saying that he will come back soon, but I don’t want to wait anymore... ...I miss him so much, but please forgive my selfishness...I also want to jump off like those people, and it will be over once and for all, but I still don't have the courage.

I've been getting more and more sleepy lately, but luckily God has allowed me to see both of you in a half-dream, which made me a little bit more determined-my husband is dead, he will never come back, and now The dynasties have changed, the fragrance has disappeared, and the jade has died, and there will be no more princes and grandchildren. I am looking forward to it. "

After reading the letter, Qin Huaizhen looked at the woman. Her breathing was very steady, and she fell asleep quietly on the table.

After reading it, Yan Qing folded it and placed it next to the woman, and walked out. Seeing this, Qin Huaizhen also walked out.

"You must board the ship in an hour," Qin Huaizhen said.

"En." Yan Qing responded lightly and walked to the front.

Qin Huaizhen looked at it and felt a little strange.

"Is he sad?" Qin Huaizhen thought to himself.

The author has something to say: I am here again, I hope you like it.
