prison song

【Ladder City】

Qin Huaizhen jumped out and grabbed Shi Yan next to him. His whole body was suspended in the air. He looked down. His position was not far from the ground. Now it was impossible to climb up with his physique. There should be no way out, just wasting energy.

Qin Huaizhen gritted his teeth and jumped down, the feeling of being in the air instantly rose to his heart, he tried his best to keep his balance, and when his feet touched the ground, he put his hands on them.

This solid heaviness was first felt on his shoulders, and he couldn't help but fall down.

He looked up to the opposite side, the ceremony was in full swing, but Qin Huaizhen found it very strange because of the woman sitting on the stool.

It's not Xu Qian.

Could it be that I read it wrong?Impossible, unless you are blind.Although this woman is dressed in purple, her face and appearance are absolutely not the same as Xu Qian's.

Qin Huaizhen stood up, brushed off the dust on his hands and continued to watch.

The black robe raised the knife in his hand, the woman stared at the tip of the knife with hollow and trembling eyes, a tear streaked across her pale face.

Gently raise the knife and put it down gently, as if cutting a fine object, and similar to the Mid-Autumn Festival, when children guess which mooncake is double yellow, the slowness of revealing the answer is so strong that it almost gushes out of excitement and excitement. The desire to win, but suppressed with all the strength of the whole body.

She is like a glutinous soup dumpling, placed in a porcelain bowl in front of a wealthy family, he is not like those people in the shop who acted rudely in order to catch up with the time, biting down with yellowed teeth, the soup splashed everywhere .

Following the example of Westerners, he picks up a knife and fork, cuts the dough layer by layer, and when the juice is ready, he gently turns the soup dumpling over and pours it out. Many people can't bear it when they see it, and rub their hands to try it. Taste, but he is also a rich man, so how could he let you mess around?

Anyone who dares to trespass will have his bank notes deducted, and he will be killed.

Seeing that they didn't dare to move, he picked up the spoon, scooped it up with the outer skin and put it into his mouth, chewed it repeatedly, and enjoyed the delicacy bit by bit.

After staying in the back, he looked up and drank the soup, and the soup dumplings in the bowl disappeared. The seller earned copper coins and gained appreciation, and he appeared to be much better than those rude people who were spitting out the soup.

After the man in black divided the internal organs inside, the woman was already an empty skin, drooping on the ground.He tore off his black gloves and raised his hand.

The rest of the people dressed like him, after receiving the instructions, opened another wooden box, which was filled with cotton. Everyone stepped forward, not daring to move, and picked up cotton of different sizes and walked towards this side one by one.

Qin Huaizhen hid in the corner and watched all this, and it ended like this, as if it should be done, and he didn't feel much about it, all he was thinking about was how to save Chu Yuechen and the others.

What if a person dies?No pain, no itching, these two words, which are commonplace, gradually came to mind.

Just when Qin Huaizhen lowered his head to think, he vaguely saw a black shadow flash past, and when he raised his eyes, most of it had faded under the shadow of the corner of the wall, like a nimble rabbit.

follow?

Just when Qin Huaizhen was hesitating, the shadow flashed past Qin Huaizhen's line of sight once again as if deliberately induced.

Qin Huaizhen raised the corner of his mouth suddenly, and instead of following, he turned around to see what was going on next.

All the people holding cotton went to the gate one by one. Corresponding to them was a group of people who came out with boxes. It was the group of people that Qin Huaizhen and Chu Yuechen saw in the room just now. Maybe the people they saw at that time were the same. lie in it.

They carried the wooden box into the woods and disappeared, probably too far away to return.

However, this might also be a way out, no matter where you go, just break free from them and escape?Qin Huaizhen pondered.

"Clap."

A crisp sound came from behind Qin Huaizhen's ear, like a palm being slapped against the wall when it was covered with water, and it could be clearly heard as the intensity increased.

The short guy in the back got a little impatient.

"Then do as you like, let's go with you." Qin Huaizhen turned around and almost ran at a fast speed, which made him question whether he didn't take the word "health" too seriously.

Forget it, just don't miss any clues.Qin Huaizhen followed the shadow with his eyes wide open. He looked like a child, but he didn't expect to be able to run so fast.

This is a narrow and straight alleyway, abandoning the similar Western style just now, and becoming the most common in Ancheng, the dregs alley behind the tavern.

Qin Huaizhen didn't relax his vigilance at all. The narrow road forced him to walk half-body against the wall. The sharp stones on the wall constantly scratched his clothes, causing pain from time to time, but he didn't care at all.

Maybe it would be better to say it in a hearty way. It's been a long time since I ran like this, and the sickly look doesn't suit him at all.

The shadow turned a corner in the first alleyway, and Qin Huaizhen didn't hesitate at all. He supported the wall with his hands to borrow strength, and followed the turn.

This is the second alleyway, and I don't know where this little thing is going.

and many more.

laneway?The second one?Doubts arose in Qin Huaizhen's heart.

Will there be a third?

An invisible big hand rummaged through his mind, tore down the vine-like memory from the deep tree trunk, and placed it in front of Qin Huaizhen along with the branches.

"My body can be seen around the corner of the third alley."

Yan Qing lowered his eyes and read the words on the stone tablet. His pink lips opened and closed lightly, and his fair cheeks were slightly flushed. After reading this passage, he raised his eyes to look at Qin Huaizhen. The sky looked spotless, like a slowly flowing stream.

Delicate eyes.

Every time Yan Qing sees Qin Huaizhen looking at him, he always shows a slight smile, as if he is politely responding to Qin Huaizhen's gaze, this is Qin Huaizhen's reaction since he saw Yan Qing.

"My lord, if you are still thinking about it now, you can't do anything." Yan Qing reminded softly that Qin Huaizhen had his whole body tied up with the silk ribbon of his clothes.

Qin Huaizhen shivered suddenly, Yan Qing's appearance in front of him was blown away by the damp and cold wind, and he was blown into the sky, in exchange for a nearly pitch-black back alley.

After Qin Huaizhen stood up, this place was the third alleyway. The surrounding stone walls widened a lot, emitting a stench. Qin Huaizhen had to cover his nose and watch the scene in front of him.

The black flies gathered and circled around, making a "buzzing" sound, stirring the heartstrings, no, breaking the heartstrings.

The black flies that smashed into clusters fluttered over the piles of human skins on these high walls, like a group of beggars who took advantage of the bargain and pretended to be cool. I grabbed it and made a disgusting sound of disdain.

Qin Huaizhen finally saw clearly that the person who had been chasing him just now was a five-year-old boy with ragged clothes and sporadic white dirt scattered on his hair, draped over his shoulders.

She didn't turn around, but ran to the front step by step, like a dexterous cat, touching the skins with her hands, and her body bounced up.

Qin Huaizhen had no choice but to keep up. The further he went, the richer and stronger the stench became.

Layered flavors swirled and clung to his nostrils.

Approaching those flies, they suddenly became a little panicked, as if seeing a living person for the first time, the arrogant look just disappeared, and they frantically wanted to drive away the outsider.

Qin Huaizhen frowned, rushed forward with all his strength, and simply placed his hands on the thick leather, a soft numb feeling spread all over his body in an instant.

These yellowed oils have long since congealed into lumps, giving off a strong smoky smell, wrapped in a thick layer of oil, which makes people not want to smell it a second time, it is simply disgusting.

Sure enough, the dead man was no different from the plague pig. Even the dead man had the same smell in the pit, had the same corpse spots, and was surrounded by the same flies.

These human skins were layered one on top of the other, and the bottom one had turned black and hardened. Qin Huaizhen saw that the little boy had already reached the middle, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and speed up to lightly jump on these soft skins to prevent being lost.

Anyway, the last little boy just climbed over this wall and went to another alleyway, Qin Huaizhen thought.

But the truth often makes a joke with him, like a sign with fate, and teases him in every possible way.

The little boy crawled to the middle, paused for a while, and then jumped into it. Qin Huaizhen was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he had to sneak in too. He thought he would stay in the greasy corpse for a long time, and he would be disgusted for a while. , did not think so.

These things seemed to be vacated, far away from his reach, and in return, the alleyway was the same as before, with a damp and stuffy smell, and the gas seemed to be full of rusty water, penetrating into people's lungs, breeding wantonly, compacted and motionless .

This is a new world again, the little boy just now was also lost, Qin Huaizhen turned his head and looked, there was a hole in the wall, still full of human skins.

The black and moldy houses are lined up vertically, and it is still rainy outside, which seems to indicate that this is a wasteland, sewage is still hanging on the hemp ropes pulled, and the cobwebs on the walls are already dilapidated.

desolate place.

People took everything they could, and left this place, like an abandoned baby, crying helplessly, being sucked by ticks several times smaller than themselves, having sores, emaciation, itching, blood scab.

In the end, the cold corpse was left behind.

This is the house that Qin Huaizhen saw before, and now that he is really in it, he really feels a little bit lonely.

The rain still couldn't stop falling, like a drunk who drank his sorrows, vomiting sour water and vegetable soup from his mouth, saying regretful words, and thinking about impossible people.

Qin Huaizhen started to walk forward. At this time, he was soaked and felt all kinds of pain.

When he opened the sleeves, there were scratches that started to turn red, and some of them had broken skin. These wounds were very conspicuous on his pale arms. It seemed that they were scratched by stones when he was just chasing the boy.

The whole body was wet by the rain, the eyelashes were covered with water droplets, and the eye sockets were red from the rain.

Only now did he look like a weeping man with something on his mind.

"Clap."

With the same sound, when Qin Huaizhen slowed down, a woman walked out from the corner. She was holding an umbrella and holding a wooden basin, and looked at Qin Huaizhen in horror.

"Who are you?" Qin Huaizhen asked.

"Ahhhhh!! There is a ghost!!" The woman dropped the tub and ran outside.

Qin Huaizhen sighed when he saw it, and followed quickly.

Dust spilled into the water, every step on it made dirty ripples, Qin Huaizhen just ran like this, he was a little exhausted, the woman in front of him was about to become a blurry shadow with only colors left.

"Don't be kidding, it's just a woman, how could I not be able to chase after her, at least she has practiced kung fu, so I can catch a few casually." Qin Huaizhen said with a smile.

Qin Huaizhen leaned forward with all his strength, grabbed the woman's cuff, twisted his backhand, and the woman fell to the ground.

"I... let you run." Panting, Qin Huaizhen looked at this person, her hands were bent backwards, her clothes were stained with black mud, and she still looked terrified.

"Squeak."

Suddenly the wooden door opened, and the devastated old man arched his back and said with a forced smile from the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, come in if you have something to say, you are tired too." The old man's voice was hoarse and muddy, his eyes were covered with mist, and he looked at Qin Huaizhen and said.
