Make home in the bird's nest
Work related
This beast! "The butler roared, his cloudy eyes gleaming with hatred, and the wooden plank in his hand slammed on Xu Jia's body quickly, but the extremely fast speed did not reduce the force of the wooden plank. You can hear the roar of the birds of prey.
With his back facing the execution ground, his body also trembled, silently counting the number of times the housekeeper had done.
98, 99, one hundred. ...Why don't you stop?Do these thugs care?
Hearing Xujia's roar gradually becoming hoarse, Shitou mustered up the courage to turn his head back.
I saw Xu Jia's face was earthy, his lips were as white as his face, the only color on his face was Yin Hong's blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, which were always sharp, began to look lax.
Shitou was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Steward! Enough is enough! Today's punishment has long been exceeded."
No one paid attention to the stone, and the butler went crazy and smashed it numbly. A wooden board that had been broken in two was scattered on the ground, and one of them was turned bright red by blood.
Shi Shi looked at the captain who was qualified to speak among the thugs, and hurriedly ran over and begged, "Go and persuade the steward, Xu Jia will be beaten to death if this continues."
The captain put on a paralyzed face: "I have no right to interfere with the housekeeper."
Shitou glanced anxiously at Xujia, boldly ran up, stood behind the housekeeper tremblingly and said, "Steward Liu, please don't hit him, if you hit him again, he will be beaten to death!"
The butler didn't hear the sound of the stone at all, and after hitting more than 100 sticks without showing fatigue, he slapped it down again, with a sound of "pop!", the wooden board snapped, and Xu Jia also let out a low growl like a beast. The voice was as hoarse as if filled with sand.
The steward threw away half of the plank in his hand, and went to get a new one. The stone stood in front of the steward without even thinking, and begged, "Steward, stop beating, your body won't be able to bear it anymore."
"Go away!" the butler roared angrily, slamming his board on the stone's chest in inertia.
"Ah!" Shi cried out with a headache, took a few steps back, and finally fell to the ground lying on his back, and the bamboo tube in his hand flew out.
Shi Shi felt that his internal organs seemed to have shifted, and his buttocks and head were hurting from the fall. He couldn't get up for a while, curled up on the ground and moaned unconsciously.
Xu Jia was stunned, staring blankly at the people huddled on the ground, unable to believe that human beings would use these instruments of torture against human beings, aren't they the same kind?
In the housekeeper's eyes, there was a creature other than Xujia, and there was another look in the eyes full of hatred.He looked at the stone with unclear meaning, and said expressionlessly: "You are worried about losing your job." Thinking of the butler in this way, there is no sense of guilt, and this stone is only for his own benefit.Three liang of silver is a huge fortune for this kid who has seen the world.
The captain came over in a timely manner: "Housekeeper, if you keep beating this black raptor, I'm afraid it's really going to be useless. It's hard to explain to Hall Master Zuo then."
The housekeeper glanced at Wu Mengniao's back, and narrowed his eyes again, "Hang him up, and if his back is smashed, he will beat his chest and abdomen. Come on, put salt water on him."
"Yes." The captain said and flirted with the four subordinates. Xu Jia was soon hung up again, the blood on his body dripped at his feet, and the salt water was quickly brought over by his subordinates.
It took a while for the stone to relieve the pain and slowly climbed up.He rubbed his chest cautiously.It hurts so much for one board, Xu Jia suffered more than 100 boards, how painful it must be, no wonder his voice is hoarse.
The butler dipped the whip in salt water and started a new round of torture.The four-meter-long whip slapped on the flesh. He didn't use any skills, and each whip fell on Xu Jia's chest. The whip rubbed against the skin, and each whip was a bloodstain.
Compared with the rod punishment, the pressure on the body from the whip is much less, and there is only sharp pain.Xu Jia didn't make any sound, and stared coldly at the butler who was tortured opposite him with dead eyes, as if engraving him in his mind, waiting for an opportunity to get revenge.
The butler met those eyes, and couldn't help being timid for a moment, but furious the next moment. He raised his hand and gave Xu Jia a whip on the head, "Bastard, give me back my son's life!"
"Hmm!" Xu Jia's head was thrown to one side, and when he turned his head, there was a bright red bloodstain on his face, extending from his upper left forehead to his right cheek, splitting his forehead in half, looking like a hell crawl The goblin-like bloody evil that came out.
Stone gasped.
When will it end?Will this atrocity ever end?If he was a black bird, he might as well be dead.There is no hope in life, only endless suffering.So, how strong are these black raptors who insist on living, maybe they are just living instinctively, but this is enough to make people admire.
After a long time, the stones were no longer counted, the housekeeper finally let Xu Jia go, and ordered someone to drag him into the cell.
Shi Shi picked up the hot bamboo tube on the ground and was about to follow in, but the housekeeper stopped him.
The housekeeper was annoyed, and said arrogantly to Shi Shi, "Come here, Shi Shi."
Stone stopped and walked over with his head down.
After all, the butler was old, his sweat-covered face was bloodless after a catharsis, he gasped continuously with his mouth open, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it to Shi Shi: "Take it to the doctor."
Shi Shi put away Yin Zi neither sad nor happy, and said respectfully: "Thank you, butler."
The housekeeper straightened his navy blue robe, glanced at the weak boy from the corner of his eye, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said in a calm voice: "Raise Xu Jia well, and don't let him die, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Sorry."
Stone's heart tightened, and he lowered his head to hide the ironic smile on his lips.It wasn't you who caused Xu Jia to be injured, but now you are afraid of accidents, have you already planned to let yourself be blamed?
Stone buried his head even lower, and said obediently, "Understood, I will."
"En." The housekeeper replied with satisfaction, turned and left.
Shi Shi quickly ran into the dungeon with the bucket in his arms. The cell in Xu No. [-] was completely dark. He could only see a black shadow in the shape of a man inside, and quickly called out, "Xu Jia! Xu Jia, are you okay?"
Shitou opened the cell and hurried over to check Xu Jia's injuries.The cell was too dark, Shi Shi squatted beside Xu Jia and looked at it for a long time, when he was about to reach out to touch it, he unexpectedly found a pair of black eyes in the darkness, shining with a gloomy cold light, staring at him faintly.
Shi Shi was startled, and he stepped back and sat on the ground.
"Xu Jia."
Xu Jia sat up, lowered his eyes slightly, much less energetic than usual.But this has already surprised Shi Shi, Xu Jia looks much better than when he was outside, so he is pretending outside?
Shi Shi took out the bamboo tube, twisted it open and handed it to Xu Jia: "You are very thirsty, drink some water, I don't have enough to fill it."
Xu Jia immediately snatched the bucket from the stone with both hands, his hands trembling slightly, he lowered his head and licked the water in the bamboo tube indiscriminately.
Shi Shi couldn't help laughing, and said with a smothered smile, "It's not like this, it should be like this." A slender hand rested on the bottom of the bamboo tube, and with a slight lift, Xu Jia poured a big mouthful of water into his mouth.
Xu Jia swallowed it with a "gudong gudong", then held the bamboo tube and raised his head to drink, a lot of water spilled out.
Shitou: "Slow down, it's all yours, don't drink too fast, be careful of choking."
Xu Jia exhaled through his nose to recover the stone, continued to drink water, and drank the three catties of water in a short time.
☆, slave
Footsteps came from the tunnel, gradually becoming more and more obvious, echoing in the empty dungeon.
Shi Shi walked to the prison door and poked his head to look. It turned out that one of the thugs in charge of Xujia had brought him medicine.
The thugs in hard attire put the things at the door of No. Xu's cell, and said in an equally emotionless voice: "This is Jinchuang medicine and clear water. If you need anything, just ask, and we will try our best to get it."
"Thank you." Shitou smiled slightly, two dimples appeared on his delicate face.
"Could you help me get a torch? It's too dark in here, I can't see his wound clearly."
The thug immediately turned around and came back with a torch.
"Thank you." Stone said to the fighter, opened the cell door and moved everything in, then took the torch and stuck it in the torch holder on the stone wall.
The flickering fire light made Xu Jia even more frightening. With the blood all over his body, coupled with his sharp eyes like a hungry eagle and the bloody whips on his face, he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.
Rao Shitou has seen a lot this month, so he is also a little scared at this time.
There was only a bucket of clean water, and he planned to wipe his chest and abdomen without too many wounds first, the back wound was too serious, if he cleaned the back first, the water would be muddy.
The movement of the stone was very gentle, bit by bit the red marks on Xujia's skin, suddenly felt something wrong all over his body, and when he looked up, he found that Xujia was staring at him.
"What... what's wrong?" Shitou looked at Xujia's face and swallowed nervously: "Wipe your face first, blood seems to get in your eyes."
Shitou raised his hand tentatively as he said, holding his breath, this was the first time he wiped Xu Jia's face, it felt a bit strange, such a thing seemed too intimate.
Xu Jia's eyes fell on the torn clothes on Shitou's chest, and when Shitou retracted his hand, he suddenly stretched out his hand and tore Shitou's clothes away.
With a sound of "呲啦", Shi Shi's clothes were split in two, revealing a white and thin chest.
Shitou was startled, and fell to the ground, looking at Xu Jia in horror: "What are you doing?" Do you want to tear him apart?Yes, after all, he has just been tortured by humans, and he is also a human.
what to do?The prison door was still closed, Xujia would definitely make him die when he unlocked it, and it would also arouse the instinctive desire of wild animals to hunt him down, so he must die if he doesn't die.
Shi's head was thinking rapidly, but his body just sat there without moving, only looking at Xu Jia in panic.
Xu Jia crawled over, put his arms on the side of the stone, then stretched out his big hand with sharp nails to pick up the tattered cloth, and lightly touched the red mark on the stone's chest.
Shi shivered with a headache, and then froze.He looked at his chest with his head in his mouth, and found that Xu Jia was touching his wound. The place where he was beaten by the housekeeper swelled up a lot, and it was a little purple. If he didn't rub the bruise away, the color would definitely be darker later.
Shi Shi gathered his clothes and smiled reluctantly: "So you care about me, I'm fine."
"Huh." Xu Jia suddenly glared at Shi Shi, turned his head with a straight face, and sat up straight.
Stone sat up awkwardly.
Xu Jia actually got into a quarrel, obviously because he cared about him, a little cute.
well!It's just that a piece of clothing is scrapped, and it can be worn after mending the place that was broken by the housekeeper, but it can't be worn out even if it has been sewed up after such a long tear.
Since being pointed out, Xu Jia didn't care for the stone anymore, and sat in meditation with a stern face, letting the stone rub on his body.
It took Shi Shi a long time to clean up the Xujia, and then helped him wipe his black nails.
The black raptor's nails are long and sharp, a full inch long, very thick, just like the nails of birds.Blood and soil particles are usually hidden in these nails.
After wiping, his eyes couldn't help falling on Xu Jia's callused wrists from the handcuffs.
It is said that this is an iron chain made of millennium black iron. It is not only tough, but also able to restrain the cultivation of the black raptor.But this lock...
This lock is on the black iron bracelet. For the sake of compactness, the mechanism is not too complicated.
Shi Shi grew up eating a variety of meals, and would help out at the restaurant where he ate every day. Over the past ten years, he has also learned a lot of crafts, such as woodworking, sewing, cooking, and even embroidery. Although he can’t say he is proficient in everything, But it is also enough to be called an expert.
Locksmithing is something he is very good at.
Stone secretly thought about how to open the lock more than once, since he saw the lock, but he never thought about actually opening it.
Only two long needles are needed, and it is sure to be able to pry it open.
He didn't dare to stay here anymore, the secret of his body might be discovered, and if he didn't leave, he might be stuck in this dark place for the rest of his life.The housekeeper seemed friendly, but in fact he was black-hearted, trying to get him to take the blame. Although Xu Jia's body was strong and he didn't die so easily, it really made him feel uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to leave, the sooner the better, so as not to fall into a passive position.But Xu Jia...do you want to save him?If I save him, I will definitely have a bad life, and I may be killed by Yiqing Pavilion. I still remember that when I first came, a servant made a mistake and was beaten to death with a stick. Let him see, it is absolutely possible to kill him now.
While thinking and tangling, Shishi didn't stop working, but wiped more carefully, rubbing the front and back of Xujia's fingernails back and forth.
Xu Jia tilted his head to look at Shi Shi's face, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
After wiping one hand, the stone changed to Xu Jia and continued wiping the other hand.
If he leaves smoothly, Yiqing Pavilion will definitely recruit again. If the villagers who come in are unlucky and offend Xu Jia, they may end up like the steward's son.No, absolutely not, everyone in the village is kind to him, so he can't ignore it.
Stone suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Xu Jia!"
Xu Jia opened his eyes vigilantly, but just glanced lazily at Shi Shi.
Stone took a deep breath, got up and looked at the entrance of the corridor.Now the black raptor has not returned, so the guards are not there.
Shi Shi leaned close to Xu Jia's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to leave?"
Xu Jia suddenly opened his eyes wide, and let out a hoarse and low voice: "I want to."
Xu Jia's eyes dimmed after he finished speaking. He remembered that the stone was beaten, and his status was obviously not high among human beings.
Shi Shi was taken aback: "You can talk?"
"Hmph." Xu Jia snorted disdainfully.
Well, whenever he thinks that Xu Jia is very powerful, Xu Jia will look disdainful, as if this is normal, and he is used to it.But...even for humans, it is difficult to learn a language in just a few months, okay!
Seeing that Xu Jia didn't quite believe in himself, Shi Shi didn't say much, took his hand and continued cleaning.
After making the decision to save Xujia, Shitou's heart relaxed, as if he had been looking for excuses to save it.
I don't know when there is a soft thing in my hand.
well?Caterpillar?
Stone looked down.
"Ah!" Stone screamed in a low voice, and the hairs all over his body exploded in an instant, and he threw the things in his hand out reflexively.
It turned out to be a piece of meat! ! !
Xu Jia snorted, as if mocking, but when Shi Shi looked over, he found that his face was still expressionless, and he didn't know if he was laughing at him.
Shitou was also a little angry, he wiped Xu Jia's hand casually and started to pack his things.
"I'm leaving first, and I'll bring you food later."
When Xu Jia heard the human say this, he didn't look at him too much, and didn't look up until the sound of the human's footsteps disappeared in the tunnel.
Will he really let him go?
Although the hope was slim, he couldn't deny that he was looking forward to it very much.After being arrested for several months, he never gave up the hope of freedom. Maybe this weak human being can help him.
Shi Shi walked out of the dungeon, the strong sunlight made him unable to open his eyes, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing around him, Shi Shi quickly let go of his hand, and was shocked to find that the thug who delivered the medicine just now was standing in front of him.
Because of the need to guard Xujia, these five thugs stayed outside the dungeon. Standing in front of the stone was the fourth child who executed Xujia, that is, the person who delivered medicine to Xujia.
"Been attacked?" The fourth child asked nervously.
"Ah?" Stone looked at the thug in a daze.After coming to Yiqing Pavilion for a month, it was the first time that he was cared about by cold thugs, it felt weird.
The fourth child's eyes fell on Shi Shi's chest, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no blood on the cloth, and his voice returned to indifference: "It is very dangerous to be stared at by a black bird. If you make him unhappy, you'd better leave to avoid being hurt." to death."
Shi Shi looked at this young thug in a strange way. Although he was only 20 years old, he always had an expression carved out of wood.
Although it felt strange, he could feel that the thug was really thinking of him, so he smiled and said, "I see, thank you."
"No need." After saying that, the thug turned around and walked back to the gazebo.
Shi Shi didn't think too much, and hurried out of the oppressive courtyard.
☆, escape
That afternoon, Shitou went to the locksmith's house to borrow two special long needles and pinned them in his sleeves.
He was restless all afternoon, and the clothes were not finished after sewing for a long time. Instead, he pricked his hands a few times, and threw the clothes on the bed in agitation.
Stone dug out all his savings from the bottom of the bed, and found scattered copper plates from the mattress, piled them up and counted them several times, and there were a total of five taels of silver and 360 Wen.He sewed silver into the cuffs of his clothes, and put more than 300 copper coins in two money bags, one bag was three hundred, and the other was sixty.Then he put the clothes he wanted to take away into the bag, including the one that was torn today.
After packing the luggage, it was only a small package.
At dusk, Shi Shi walked into the slaughterhouse as usual, received Xu Jia's food, and walked into the dungeon step by step, but his legs were still weak.
The stone has grown so big, and it is the first time he has done something bad. It is still a big bad thing. He lost sleep for a long time because of this attention yesterday.
Now is the time when the dungeon has the most people, and there are four to five hundred thugs in Xingdi, forming a huge pressure invisible, which makes Shitou want to retreat. ……no!Can't leave alone.Xujia is too pitiful, and the villagers will also be hurt.
Thinking of this, Stone took a deep breath and strode in.
There was some noise in the dungeon, echoing with the sound of countless jingling iron chains colliding, but Xu Jia immediately recognized the footsteps that were more vain than others, and looked up at the door.
"Xujia." Shitou opened the cell door and lifted the wooden bucket in: "Eat quickly."
Xu Jia looked at the stone for a while before putting his hand into the bucket.
Seeing the hideous scars on Xu Jia's body, Shi Shi struggled for a long time, but still didn't make a move.He was indeed timid, and more importantly, Xujia was too weak now, so it was better to cultivate for two days, and he had to make more mental preparations.
Xu Jia seemed to be more silent than usual, his eyes kept on Shitou, as if he was taking him down.Shitou was not feeling right all over, and left in a panic as soon as Xu Jia finished eating.
It's just that he didn't expect that Xujia would go to work the next day.He didn't deliver water that day, and when he got the news at dusk, Xu Jia was hanging on the rack and being whipped.The butler actually came again and personally supervised the punishment of Xu Jia by the thugs.
Stone regretted it unceasingly. It seemed that the matter was getting worse and worse.He looked at Xu Jia on the torture rack, and it happened that Xu Jia was also looking at him, his eyes were cold and dead, which seemed unchanged to others, but Shi Shi intuitively felt that Xu Jia's eyes looked at him much colder.
Maybe it's disappointment.He didn't have any communication with Xu Jia yesterday, maybe Xu Jia was looking forward to saving him, but he left early, so he was disappointed.
Shi Shi felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head away from looking at the place of punishment, and walked quickly to the dungeon with the food.
Putting the food into the cell of No. Xu, Shi Shi walked back home quickly, changed into the clothes that had been sewn with silver yesterday, pinned the long needles on the cuffs, and rushed to the dungeon without stopping.
The place of punishment has been cleared away, leaving only thick blood.
Stone didn't take a second look, and went straight to the dungeon.
"Wait!" The guard stretched out his spear to stop the stone, looked him up and down, and said coldly, "Why are you here again? Didn't you come here just now?"
Shi Shi was the first to deliver food today, so the guards had an impression of him.
Anyway, I had already suffered a psychological torment yesterday, Shitou calmed down a lot today, holding his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, but his face was neither humble nor overbearing: "I thought that Xu Jia would be off today, so I sent it off a little earlier, I didn't expect He had already started working, and he was being tortured at that time, so I put the food in the cell, and then went back first, and now I came to get the food bucket."
"So it is." The guard accepted his words, removed the spear and let him in.
The stone breathed out a breath of relief when it got down the tunnel, and walked deeper at the same speed.
"Xujia!" Shitou whispered from outside, and the hand that opened the lock trembled slightly.
Xu Jia only glanced at the stone, his body hid in the dark and did not move.
Shi Shi was not prepared to get a response, so he opened the door and walked in. For the first time, he didn't lock it, and walked directly to Xujia.
Shitou squatted down beside Xu Jia, and mouthed to him for silence.
Xu Jia seemed to feel something, sat up straight, and stared at the stone with a pair of beast eyes.
Shi Shi pulled out the long needle in his sleeve, and said to Xu Jia: I will save you.
Xu Jia's pupils shrank, he looked at the stone fixedly, and stretched out his shackled hands.
Shi Shi let out a mouthful of turbid air, grasped the needle with two fingers and tried to clean the needle tip, but his hand trembled slightly and he couldn't control it.He clasped his hands angrily, grabbed Xu Jia's hand and inserted the long needle into the black lock.
Feeling the familiar mechanism, Shi Shi's heart calmed down, and his hands gradually stopped shaking.
Xu Jia opened his mouth soundlessly, then pricked up his ears, paying close attention to the movement of the tunnel.
The iron needle made a slight sound in the lock cylinder, which made Shi Shi's heart tense, and he looked outside worriedly.
Xu Jia immediately gave Shitou a reassuring look, Shitou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Xu Jia, then lowered his head and groped carefully.
With a "click", the Xuan lock bounced.
It turned out to be simpler than he imagined, and I don't know if their village's lock art is too good, or because of a green pavilion, I never thought that someone would approach Wu Mengniao to pick the lock.
Xu Jia became short of breath, turned his free wrist, and immediately handed the other hand to Shishi.
Shi Shi smiled slightly at Xu Jia, wiped the sweat off his face and started again.
"Click"
"Click"
"Click"
The last lock was also opened.
"That's great." Shitou said excitedly, and was knocked down by the opposite Xu Jia as soon as he finished speaking.
"Xujia!" Shitou hurriedly sat up, before he could make any stop action, Xujia rushed out of the cell like a strong wind.
Shi Shi's heart shrank into a ball for a moment, the blood on his face quickly faded, and he ran out after Xu Jia.
"Hey~"
Xu Jia let out a strange long howl, the voice was high-pitched and exciting, and it kept echoing in the closed dungeon.
The dungeon erupted in an instant, and there was a deafening response. All the black raptors became excited, and kept hitting the prison door with their bodies, making "bang bang" sounds.
"Stop him... ah!" The man's words turned into a scream without saying a word.
Listening to the movement ahead, Shi Shi's heart sank completely.No matter how smart Xu Jia is, he is still a beast. It was he who underestimated his wildness and pushed himself into a situation where there would be no redemption.
At the corner, there were two miserable corpses pretending to be dead.At this moment, he felt that he was going to die, perhaps worse than the death of these two people.
All the guards along the way lay bloodstained on the ground, and after passing the last corner, they arrived at the cell area where the black raptors were most densely populated.
Countless pairs of hands with long black armor stretched out from both sides of the dungeon, as if trying to grab something, and the screams almost burst the stone's eardrums.
Shi Shi ran out covering his ears, but was suddenly caught by a sharp claw on his shoulder, and with a "squeaky" sound, he took off a piece of bloody cloth.
Shi Shi didn't even hum, and instinctively took two quick steps back. He knew that there was also a crow's claws behind him, so he consciously controlled his back, but was still scratched by the crow's clothes on his back. .
Shi Shi hurriedly walked to the middle, not daring to look at the black raptors on both sides, and ran out quickly.
There was buzzing in his ears, and the stone couldn't hear anything clearly, so he could only keep running out.Out of the tunnel, the sound is much lower.
Seeing the scene outside the dungeon clearly, the stone froze in place, unable to move as if his feet were rooted.
The place of punishment has turned into Shura Hell.
The half-naked beast screaming and waving its sharp claws, with a ferocious expression, bloodthirsty eyes, faintly red pupils, and bloody stumps flying around exaggeratedly splashed around him.
Hundreds of thugs flocked into the execution ground, providing conditions for the killing of the black raptor.
Stone's eyes were covered with blood, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blood mist.He stared out blankly, leaning against the stone wall feebly.
For a moment, there seemed to be no sound in my ears, only the picture in front of me was silently changing.
☆, escape
Flesh and blood flew across the execution ground, but it was not a unilateral fight.
The black-clothed leader standing on the high wall looked coldly at the extremely agile black raptors in the execution ground, annoyed that they were unable to subdue them.
Since it can't be recovered, then there is no need to worry about it.The leader said in a deep voice, "Kill him!"
His volume is not very loud, but the entire punishment ground is filled with his voice, obviously using internal strength.
The thugs immediately pulled out the cold weapons behind them.
No matter how strong the black raptor is, it is only a fleshy body, and Xu Jia soon failed.
Watching the fight in Xingdi, Shitou gradually regained his senses.He looked at the road from here to the door. Although it was dangerous, it was better than sitting still, so he boldly ran outside.
"He let Xu Jia go, I'll kill him!" A thug suddenly shouted, flying behind the stone with his feet, and raised his sword at the same time.
Hearing the voice of the thug, Shi Shi instinctively dodged to the side, and luckily escaped the blow. Before he could stand still, he turned around and saw a thug in charge of Xujia raised his knife at him expressionlessly. The edge of the blade, like a thin line, flashed cold light under the glow of the fiery red sunset.
Stone took a breath, and his pupils dilated suddenly.It was too late for his body to adjust, he could only watch helplessly as the big knife slashed towards him.
"Old Fifth, show mercy!"
Someone yelled, and the knife paused slightly in the air, probably because the thug hesitated for a while, before Shi Shi could feel joy, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the sharp blade was close in front of him.
"Ah!" Stone instinctively put his arms around his head, only to feel his body bump into a fiery embrace, and his body flew into the air instantly.
"Follow me!" The man in black on the high wall waved his hand, not squinting his sword: "Bow and arrow!"
Soon someone brought a bow and arrow and handed it to the leader.The leader frowned tightly, drew his bow and arrows full, and aimed at the black raptor in the sky...
Shi Shi smelled a strong smell of blood, but his body didn't feel the slightest pain. After a while, he opened his eyes in disbelief, and saw a bloody face full of evil spirit.
"Xujia!"
"Chirp~" Xu Jia let out a long and excited whistle, and waved his wings vigorously to glide forward.
Shi Shi glanced down, his body trembled immediately, and he hugged Xu Jia's overly muscular chest tightly, fearing that his body would slip, and his legs also clamped his legs.
Xu Jia looked at the human in his arms, sensed his fear, and hugged him even tighter.He flew so fast that the stone couldn't even hear any sound from below. He looked back from Xu Jia's shoulder uneasily, but he saw an arrow flying fast.
"Xujia be careful." Shitou shouted.
Xu Jia let out a "chi" sound, jumped up in the air, and then the arrow behind him flew past them.
Xu Jia turned his head, glanced at the humans chasing and running like ants on the ground, then looked at the man in black standing on the high wall, and imitated the facial expressions of humans and smiled bluntly.
"Chirp~"
The voice was ridiculed with contempt and sarcasm. Seeing the anger in the eyes of the human being with satisfaction, Xu Jia laughed even more arrogantly, and blood beads appeared from the bloodstain hanging diagonally on his face, embellishing his expression. more ferocious.
Seeing that the people on the ground were getting smaller and smaller, beyond the range of the bow and arrow, Shito was completely relieved.As soon as he relaxed, the tense muscles in his body also relaxed, beating slightly uncontrollably, making his hands and feet even weaker, and he could only lean on the arms around his waist.
The sun finally sank below the horizon, and the sky quickly darkened.Xujia chirped tirelessly for a long time, flying wildly in the air, and before they knew it, they were far away from the fishing village.
"Xujia." Shito put his arms around Wu Mengniao's neck, smiled weakly with a pale face, "I knew you wouldn't leave me."
"Chirp~" Xu Jia chirped again.Shi Shi hurriedly said: "Don't call, you will attract people from Yiqing Pavilion. You have to rest, it will be bad if they find you then."
It seemed that Shi Shi's words had an effect, Xu Jia stopped after screaming, but suddenly bit Shi Shi's face, startling him.
"Hiss~Xujia!" Shishi didn't dare to move, and hugged Wu Mengniao even tighter.
The mouth on the face was as hot as a steamer, almost scalding his skin, and soon, the stone felt liquid flow out, and the bones on the face hurt as if they were about to be bitten into pieces.
Xu Jia didn't let go until he tasted the blood in his mouth, and licked the stone's face repeatedly, staining the blood on his face.
"Hiss~ It hurts." Stone shrunk his neck, freed a hand to wipe his face indiscriminately, and touched an exaggeratedly large bite mark, which almost covered half of his face.
He couldn't help but look at the black bird's mouth.Strange, it looks normal, how can such a big bite mark?
"Xujia, why did you bite me all of a sudden?" Shitou rubbed his face in pain, the bones on his face were aching, and he could vaguely smell the saliva with the smell of Xujia in his nose.
"Wuli." Wu Mengniao suddenly said in Shitou's ear.
"what?"
The wind was too strong, Shitou looked at Xujia and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly!"
The black bird looked at Shi Shi's face, turned its head suddenly, and swooped down. Shi Shi suddenly screamed, and his heart shrank suddenly. The severe weightlessness caused his stomach to constrict. I retched a few times.
Another spin, finally leveled off.The stone let go of the bird's neck, opened its mouth and breathed heavily, its feet on the ground lost all feeling, its legs were as soft as noodles, its brain seemed to be stirred into a pot of paste, and the whole earth was spinning .
Stone stood unsteadily for a while, then fell down and sat on the ground with Wuli's support.
"You..." Shitou shook his head vigorously, trying to overlap a row of figures in front of him, and asked softly, "What did you just say?"
"Wuli, name."
Stone couldn't see Wu Mengniao's face clearly in the dark, but he could see his pupils glowing in the dark, looking at him burningly, with a light that he couldn't understand.
"Wuli? Is your name Wuli?" Shitou pursed his lips and smiled, two dimples appeared on his palm-sized face, and said softly, "Your name sounds nice."
Wu Liye could see things, and he could see Shitou's expression completely. He couldn't help being slightly dazed, and suddenly reached out and poked Shishi's face.
Wu Li murmured: "Stone."
Shi Shi laughed even more happily, probably because he didn't die in Wu Mengniao's mouth, and his fear of Wu Li suddenly disappeared.When the pain was touched, he also touched his face and complained jokingly, "Why did you bite me, it hurts like hell."
Wu Li paused slightly, his eyes fell on the bloody bite marks on the stone, and he suddenly turned his head away, leaving a broad back for the stone.
Stone didn't ask much, and checked the place where the black raptor scratched.
A gust of night wind blew over his exposed skin, making it cool.
Shi Shi tightened the clothes on his shoulders, and when he touched the wound, he took a painful breath.Suddenly thought of something, Shitou's expression changed, he hurriedly touched his sleeves anxiously, his expression suddenly relaxed, then touched his arms and waist, heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the money is still there."
Wu Li gently licked the blood on his fingers, and his ears trembled when he heard the movement.
"By the way." Shi Shi climbed up to Wu Li and knelt down opposite Wu Li: "Can you take me back? I packed some clothes and want to take them out."
Wu Li snorted, but immediately pulled the stone to stand up, and flew into the air with a wave of wings.
Shi Shi tightened his body, and quickly hugged Wu Li's neck tightly, hanging himself firmly on him.
"Be careful, they know where I live, and someone might be ambushing there." He also thought of this suddenly, and he saw Yiqing Pavilion's ruthlessness when he was in Xingdi, which made him pay more attention.
"Hmm." Wu Li replied in a deep voice, making a beautiful 180-degree transformation in the air, and then the corners of his mouth curled up in a satisfied arc.no shackles
With his back facing the execution ground, his body also trembled, silently counting the number of times the housekeeper had done.
98, 99, one hundred. ...Why don't you stop?Do these thugs care?
Hearing Xujia's roar gradually becoming hoarse, Shitou mustered up the courage to turn his head back.
I saw Xu Jia's face was earthy, his lips were as white as his face, the only color on his face was Yin Hong's blood at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes, which were always sharp, began to look lax.
Shitou was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Steward! Enough is enough! Today's punishment has long been exceeded."
No one paid attention to the stone, and the butler went crazy and smashed it numbly. A wooden board that had been broken in two was scattered on the ground, and one of them was turned bright red by blood.
Shi Shi looked at the captain who was qualified to speak among the thugs, and hurriedly ran over and begged, "Go and persuade the steward, Xu Jia will be beaten to death if this continues."
The captain put on a paralyzed face: "I have no right to interfere with the housekeeper."
Shitou glanced anxiously at Xujia, boldly ran up, stood behind the housekeeper tremblingly and said, "Steward Liu, please don't hit him, if you hit him again, he will be beaten to death!"
The butler didn't hear the sound of the stone at all, and after hitting more than 100 sticks without showing fatigue, he slapped it down again, with a sound of "pop!", the wooden board snapped, and Xu Jia also let out a low growl like a beast. The voice was as hoarse as if filled with sand.
The steward threw away half of the plank in his hand, and went to get a new one. The stone stood in front of the steward without even thinking, and begged, "Steward, stop beating, your body won't be able to bear it anymore."
"Go away!" the butler roared angrily, slamming his board on the stone's chest in inertia.
"Ah!" Shi cried out with a headache, took a few steps back, and finally fell to the ground lying on his back, and the bamboo tube in his hand flew out.
Shi Shi felt that his internal organs seemed to have shifted, and his buttocks and head were hurting from the fall. He couldn't get up for a while, curled up on the ground and moaned unconsciously.
Xu Jia was stunned, staring blankly at the people huddled on the ground, unable to believe that human beings would use these instruments of torture against human beings, aren't they the same kind?
In the housekeeper's eyes, there was a creature other than Xujia, and there was another look in the eyes full of hatred.He looked at the stone with unclear meaning, and said expressionlessly: "You are worried about losing your job." Thinking of the butler in this way, there is no sense of guilt, and this stone is only for his own benefit.Three liang of silver is a huge fortune for this kid who has seen the world.
The captain came over in a timely manner: "Housekeeper, if you keep beating this black raptor, I'm afraid it's really going to be useless. It's hard to explain to Hall Master Zuo then."
The housekeeper glanced at Wu Mengniao's back, and narrowed his eyes again, "Hang him up, and if his back is smashed, he will beat his chest and abdomen. Come on, put salt water on him."
"Yes." The captain said and flirted with the four subordinates. Xu Jia was soon hung up again, the blood on his body dripped at his feet, and the salt water was quickly brought over by his subordinates.
It took a while for the stone to relieve the pain and slowly climbed up.He rubbed his chest cautiously.It hurts so much for one board, Xu Jia suffered more than 100 boards, how painful it must be, no wonder his voice is hoarse.
The butler dipped the whip in salt water and started a new round of torture.The four-meter-long whip slapped on the flesh. He didn't use any skills, and each whip fell on Xu Jia's chest. The whip rubbed against the skin, and each whip was a bloodstain.
Compared with the rod punishment, the pressure on the body from the whip is much less, and there is only sharp pain.Xu Jia didn't make any sound, and stared coldly at the butler who was tortured opposite him with dead eyes, as if engraving him in his mind, waiting for an opportunity to get revenge.
The butler met those eyes, and couldn't help being timid for a moment, but furious the next moment. He raised his hand and gave Xu Jia a whip on the head, "Bastard, give me back my son's life!"
"Hmm!" Xu Jia's head was thrown to one side, and when he turned his head, there was a bright red bloodstain on his face, extending from his upper left forehead to his right cheek, splitting his forehead in half, looking like a hell crawl The goblin-like bloody evil that came out.
Stone gasped.
When will it end?Will this atrocity ever end?If he was a black bird, he might as well be dead.There is no hope in life, only endless suffering.So, how strong are these black raptors who insist on living, maybe they are just living instinctively, but this is enough to make people admire.
After a long time, the stones were no longer counted, the housekeeper finally let Xu Jia go, and ordered someone to drag him into the cell.
Shi Shi picked up the hot bamboo tube on the ground and was about to follow in, but the housekeeper stopped him.
The housekeeper was annoyed, and said arrogantly to Shi Shi, "Come here, Shi Shi."
Stone stopped and walked over with his head down.
After all, the butler was old, his sweat-covered face was bloodless after a catharsis, he gasped continuously with his mouth open, took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and threw it to Shi Shi: "Take it to the doctor."
Shi Shi put away Yin Zi neither sad nor happy, and said respectfully: "Thank you, butler."
The housekeeper straightened his navy blue robe, glanced at the weak boy from the corner of his eye, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and said in a calm voice: "Raise Xu Jia well, and don't let him die, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Sorry."
Stone's heart tightened, and he lowered his head to hide the ironic smile on his lips.It wasn't you who caused Xu Jia to be injured, but now you are afraid of accidents, have you already planned to let yourself be blamed?
Stone buried his head even lower, and said obediently, "Understood, I will."
"En." The housekeeper replied with satisfaction, turned and left.
Shi Shi quickly ran into the dungeon with the bucket in his arms. The cell in Xu No. [-] was completely dark. He could only see a black shadow in the shape of a man inside, and quickly called out, "Xu Jia! Xu Jia, are you okay?"
Shitou opened the cell and hurried over to check Xu Jia's injuries.The cell was too dark, Shi Shi squatted beside Xu Jia and looked at it for a long time, when he was about to reach out to touch it, he unexpectedly found a pair of black eyes in the darkness, shining with a gloomy cold light, staring at him faintly.
Shi Shi was startled, and he stepped back and sat on the ground.
"Xu Jia."
Xu Jia sat up, lowered his eyes slightly, much less energetic than usual.But this has already surprised Shi Shi, Xu Jia looks much better than when he was outside, so he is pretending outside?
Shi Shi took out the bamboo tube, twisted it open and handed it to Xu Jia: "You are very thirsty, drink some water, I don't have enough to fill it."
Xu Jia immediately snatched the bucket from the stone with both hands, his hands trembling slightly, he lowered his head and licked the water in the bamboo tube indiscriminately.
Shi Shi couldn't help laughing, and said with a smothered smile, "It's not like this, it should be like this." A slender hand rested on the bottom of the bamboo tube, and with a slight lift, Xu Jia poured a big mouthful of water into his mouth.
Xu Jia swallowed it with a "gudong gudong", then held the bamboo tube and raised his head to drink, a lot of water spilled out.
Shitou: "Slow down, it's all yours, don't drink too fast, be careful of choking."
Xu Jia exhaled through his nose to recover the stone, continued to drink water, and drank the three catties of water in a short time.
☆, slave
Footsteps came from the tunnel, gradually becoming more and more obvious, echoing in the empty dungeon.
Shi Shi walked to the prison door and poked his head to look. It turned out that one of the thugs in charge of Xujia had brought him medicine.
The thugs in hard attire put the things at the door of No. Xu's cell, and said in an equally emotionless voice: "This is Jinchuang medicine and clear water. If you need anything, just ask, and we will try our best to get it."
"Thank you." Shitou smiled slightly, two dimples appeared on his delicate face.
"Could you help me get a torch? It's too dark in here, I can't see his wound clearly."
The thug immediately turned around and came back with a torch.
"Thank you." Stone said to the fighter, opened the cell door and moved everything in, then took the torch and stuck it in the torch holder on the stone wall.
The flickering fire light made Xu Jia even more frightening. With the blood all over his body, coupled with his sharp eyes like a hungry eagle and the bloody whips on his face, he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.
Rao Shitou has seen a lot this month, so he is also a little scared at this time.
There was only a bucket of clean water, and he planned to wipe his chest and abdomen without too many wounds first, the back wound was too serious, if he cleaned the back first, the water would be muddy.
The movement of the stone was very gentle, bit by bit the red marks on Xujia's skin, suddenly felt something wrong all over his body, and when he looked up, he found that Xujia was staring at him.
"What... what's wrong?" Shitou looked at Xujia's face and swallowed nervously: "Wipe your face first, blood seems to get in your eyes."
Shitou raised his hand tentatively as he said, holding his breath, this was the first time he wiped Xu Jia's face, it felt a bit strange, such a thing seemed too intimate.
Xu Jia's eyes fell on the torn clothes on Shitou's chest, and when Shitou retracted his hand, he suddenly stretched out his hand and tore Shitou's clothes away.
With a sound of "呲啦", Shi Shi's clothes were split in two, revealing a white and thin chest.
Shitou was startled, and fell to the ground, looking at Xu Jia in horror: "What are you doing?" Do you want to tear him apart?Yes, after all, he has just been tortured by humans, and he is also a human.
what to do?The prison door was still closed, Xujia would definitely make him die when he unlocked it, and it would also arouse the instinctive desire of wild animals to hunt him down, so he must die if he doesn't die.
Shi's head was thinking rapidly, but his body just sat there without moving, only looking at Xu Jia in panic.
Xu Jia crawled over, put his arms on the side of the stone, then stretched out his big hand with sharp nails to pick up the tattered cloth, and lightly touched the red mark on the stone's chest.
Shi shivered with a headache, and then froze.He looked at his chest with his head in his mouth, and found that Xu Jia was touching his wound. The place where he was beaten by the housekeeper swelled up a lot, and it was a little purple. If he didn't rub the bruise away, the color would definitely be darker later.
Shi Shi gathered his clothes and smiled reluctantly: "So you care about me, I'm fine."
"Huh." Xu Jia suddenly glared at Shi Shi, turned his head with a straight face, and sat up straight.
Stone sat up awkwardly.
Xu Jia actually got into a quarrel, obviously because he cared about him, a little cute.
well!It's just that a piece of clothing is scrapped, and it can be worn after mending the place that was broken by the housekeeper, but it can't be worn out even if it has been sewed up after such a long tear.
Since being pointed out, Xu Jia didn't care for the stone anymore, and sat in meditation with a stern face, letting the stone rub on his body.
It took Shi Shi a long time to clean up the Xujia, and then helped him wipe his black nails.
The black raptor's nails are long and sharp, a full inch long, very thick, just like the nails of birds.Blood and soil particles are usually hidden in these nails.
After wiping, his eyes couldn't help falling on Xu Jia's callused wrists from the handcuffs.
It is said that this is an iron chain made of millennium black iron. It is not only tough, but also able to restrain the cultivation of the black raptor.But this lock...
This lock is on the black iron bracelet. For the sake of compactness, the mechanism is not too complicated.
Shi Shi grew up eating a variety of meals, and would help out at the restaurant where he ate every day. Over the past ten years, he has also learned a lot of crafts, such as woodworking, sewing, cooking, and even embroidery. Although he can’t say he is proficient in everything, But it is also enough to be called an expert.
Locksmithing is something he is very good at.
Stone secretly thought about how to open the lock more than once, since he saw the lock, but he never thought about actually opening it.
Only two long needles are needed, and it is sure to be able to pry it open.
He didn't dare to stay here anymore, the secret of his body might be discovered, and if he didn't leave, he might be stuck in this dark place for the rest of his life.The housekeeper seemed friendly, but in fact he was black-hearted, trying to get him to take the blame. Although Xu Jia's body was strong and he didn't die so easily, it really made him feel uncomfortable.
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to leave, the sooner the better, so as not to fall into a passive position.But Xu Jia...do you want to save him?If I save him, I will definitely have a bad life, and I may be killed by Yiqing Pavilion. I still remember that when I first came, a servant made a mistake and was beaten to death with a stick. Let him see, it is absolutely possible to kill him now.
While thinking and tangling, Shishi didn't stop working, but wiped more carefully, rubbing the front and back of Xujia's fingernails back and forth.
Xu Jia tilted his head to look at Shi Shi's face, leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.
After wiping one hand, the stone changed to Xu Jia and continued wiping the other hand.
If he leaves smoothly, Yiqing Pavilion will definitely recruit again. If the villagers who come in are unlucky and offend Xu Jia, they may end up like the steward's son.No, absolutely not, everyone in the village is kind to him, so he can't ignore it.
Stone suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Xu Jia!"
Xu Jia opened his eyes vigilantly, but just glanced lazily at Shi Shi.
Stone took a deep breath, got up and looked at the entrance of the corridor.Now the black raptor has not returned, so the guards are not there.
Shi Shi leaned close to Xu Jia's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Do you want to leave?"
Xu Jia suddenly opened his eyes wide, and let out a hoarse and low voice: "I want to."
Xu Jia's eyes dimmed after he finished speaking. He remembered that the stone was beaten, and his status was obviously not high among human beings.
Shi Shi was taken aback: "You can talk?"
"Hmph." Xu Jia snorted disdainfully.
Well, whenever he thinks that Xu Jia is very powerful, Xu Jia will look disdainful, as if this is normal, and he is used to it.But...even for humans, it is difficult to learn a language in just a few months, okay!
Seeing that Xu Jia didn't quite believe in himself, Shi Shi didn't say much, took his hand and continued cleaning.
After making the decision to save Xujia, Shitou's heart relaxed, as if he had been looking for excuses to save it.
I don't know when there is a soft thing in my hand.
well?Caterpillar?
Stone looked down.
"Ah!" Stone screamed in a low voice, and the hairs all over his body exploded in an instant, and he threw the things in his hand out reflexively.
It turned out to be a piece of meat! ! !
Xu Jia snorted, as if mocking, but when Shi Shi looked over, he found that his face was still expressionless, and he didn't know if he was laughing at him.
Shitou was also a little angry, he wiped Xu Jia's hand casually and started to pack his things.
"I'm leaving first, and I'll bring you food later."
When Xu Jia heard the human say this, he didn't look at him too much, and didn't look up until the sound of the human's footsteps disappeared in the tunnel.
Will he really let him go?
Although the hope was slim, he couldn't deny that he was looking forward to it very much.After being arrested for several months, he never gave up the hope of freedom. Maybe this weak human being can help him.
Shi Shi walked out of the dungeon, the strong sunlight made him unable to open his eyes, he couldn't help but squinted his eyes, and raised his hand to cover his forehead.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a gust of wind blowing around him, Shi Shi quickly let go of his hand, and was shocked to find that the thug who delivered the medicine just now was standing in front of him.
Because of the need to guard Xujia, these five thugs stayed outside the dungeon. Standing in front of the stone was the fourth child who executed Xujia, that is, the person who delivered medicine to Xujia.
"Been attacked?" The fourth child asked nervously.
"Ah?" Stone looked at the thug in a daze.After coming to Yiqing Pavilion for a month, it was the first time that he was cared about by cold thugs, it felt weird.
The fourth child's eyes fell on Shi Shi's chest, and he was relieved when he saw that there was no blood on the cloth, and his voice returned to indifference: "It is very dangerous to be stared at by a black bird. If you make him unhappy, you'd better leave to avoid being hurt." to death."
Shi Shi looked at this young thug in a strange way. Although he was only 20 years old, he always had an expression carved out of wood.
Although it felt strange, he could feel that the thug was really thinking of him, so he smiled and said, "I see, thank you."
"No need." After saying that, the thug turned around and walked back to the gazebo.
Shi Shi didn't think too much, and hurried out of the oppressive courtyard.
☆, escape
That afternoon, Shitou went to the locksmith's house to borrow two special long needles and pinned them in his sleeves.
He was restless all afternoon, and the clothes were not finished after sewing for a long time. Instead, he pricked his hands a few times, and threw the clothes on the bed in agitation.
Stone dug out all his savings from the bottom of the bed, and found scattered copper plates from the mattress, piled them up and counted them several times, and there were a total of five taels of silver and 360 Wen.He sewed silver into the cuffs of his clothes, and put more than 300 copper coins in two money bags, one bag was three hundred, and the other was sixty.Then he put the clothes he wanted to take away into the bag, including the one that was torn today.
After packing the luggage, it was only a small package.
At dusk, Shi Shi walked into the slaughterhouse as usual, received Xu Jia's food, and walked into the dungeon step by step, but his legs were still weak.
The stone has grown so big, and it is the first time he has done something bad. It is still a big bad thing. He lost sleep for a long time because of this attention yesterday.
Now is the time when the dungeon has the most people, and there are four to five hundred thugs in Xingdi, forming a huge pressure invisible, which makes Shitou want to retreat. ……no!Can't leave alone.Xujia is too pitiful, and the villagers will also be hurt.
Thinking of this, Stone took a deep breath and strode in.
There was some noise in the dungeon, echoing with the sound of countless jingling iron chains colliding, but Xu Jia immediately recognized the footsteps that were more vain than others, and looked up at the door.
"Xujia." Shitou opened the cell door and lifted the wooden bucket in: "Eat quickly."
Xu Jia looked at the stone for a while before putting his hand into the bucket.
Seeing the hideous scars on Xu Jia's body, Shi Shi struggled for a long time, but still didn't make a move.He was indeed timid, and more importantly, Xujia was too weak now, so it was better to cultivate for two days, and he had to make more mental preparations.
Xu Jia seemed to be more silent than usual, his eyes kept on Shitou, as if he was taking him down.Shitou was not feeling right all over, and left in a panic as soon as Xu Jia finished eating.
It's just that he didn't expect that Xujia would go to work the next day.He didn't deliver water that day, and when he got the news at dusk, Xu Jia was hanging on the rack and being whipped.The butler actually came again and personally supervised the punishment of Xu Jia by the thugs.
Stone regretted it unceasingly. It seemed that the matter was getting worse and worse.He looked at Xu Jia on the torture rack, and it happened that Xu Jia was also looking at him, his eyes were cold and dead, which seemed unchanged to others, but Shi Shi intuitively felt that Xu Jia's eyes looked at him much colder.
Maybe it's disappointment.He didn't have any communication with Xu Jia yesterday, maybe Xu Jia was looking forward to saving him, but he left early, so he was disappointed.
Shi Shi felt a little uncomfortable, turned his head away from looking at the place of punishment, and walked quickly to the dungeon with the food.
Putting the food into the cell of No. Xu, Shi Shi walked back home quickly, changed into the clothes that had been sewn with silver yesterday, pinned the long needles on the cuffs, and rushed to the dungeon without stopping.
The place of punishment has been cleared away, leaving only thick blood.
Stone didn't take a second look, and went straight to the dungeon.
"Wait!" The guard stretched out his spear to stop the stone, looked him up and down, and said coldly, "Why are you here again? Didn't you come here just now?"
Shi Shi was the first to deliver food today, so the guards had an impression of him.
Anyway, I had already suffered a psychological torment yesterday, Shitou calmed down a lot today, holding his hands hidden in his sleeves tightly, but his face was neither humble nor overbearing: "I thought that Xu Jia would be off today, so I sent it off a little earlier, I didn't expect He had already started working, and he was being tortured at that time, so I put the food in the cell, and then went back first, and now I came to get the food bucket."
"So it is." The guard accepted his words, removed the spear and let him in.
The stone breathed out a breath of relief when it got down the tunnel, and walked deeper at the same speed.
"Xujia!" Shitou whispered from outside, and the hand that opened the lock trembled slightly.
Xu Jia only glanced at the stone, his body hid in the dark and did not move.
Shi Shi was not prepared to get a response, so he opened the door and walked in. For the first time, he didn't lock it, and walked directly to Xujia.
Shitou squatted down beside Xu Jia, and mouthed to him for silence.
Xu Jia seemed to feel something, sat up straight, and stared at the stone with a pair of beast eyes.
Shi Shi pulled out the long needle in his sleeve, and said to Xu Jia: I will save you.
Xu Jia's pupils shrank, he looked at the stone fixedly, and stretched out his shackled hands.
Shi Shi let out a mouthful of turbid air, grasped the needle with two fingers and tried to clean the needle tip, but his hand trembled slightly and he couldn't control it.He clasped his hands angrily, grabbed Xu Jia's hand and inserted the long needle into the black lock.
Feeling the familiar mechanism, Shi Shi's heart calmed down, and his hands gradually stopped shaking.
Xu Jia opened his mouth soundlessly, then pricked up his ears, paying close attention to the movement of the tunnel.
The iron needle made a slight sound in the lock cylinder, which made Shi Shi's heart tense, and he looked outside worriedly.
Xu Jia immediately gave Shitou a reassuring look, Shitou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to Xu Jia, then lowered his head and groped carefully.
With a "click", the Xuan lock bounced.
It turned out to be simpler than he imagined, and I don't know if their village's lock art is too good, or because of a green pavilion, I never thought that someone would approach Wu Mengniao to pick the lock.
Xu Jia became short of breath, turned his free wrist, and immediately handed the other hand to Shishi.
Shi Shi smiled slightly at Xu Jia, wiped the sweat off his face and started again.
"Click"
"Click"
"Click"
The last lock was also opened.
"That's great." Shitou said excitedly, and was knocked down by the opposite Xu Jia as soon as he finished speaking.
"Xujia!" Shitou hurriedly sat up, before he could make any stop action, Xujia rushed out of the cell like a strong wind.
Shi Shi's heart shrank into a ball for a moment, the blood on his face quickly faded, and he ran out after Xu Jia.
"Hey~"
Xu Jia let out a strange long howl, the voice was high-pitched and exciting, and it kept echoing in the closed dungeon.
The dungeon erupted in an instant, and there was a deafening response. All the black raptors became excited, and kept hitting the prison door with their bodies, making "bang bang" sounds.
"Stop him... ah!" The man's words turned into a scream without saying a word.
Listening to the movement ahead, Shi Shi's heart sank completely.No matter how smart Xu Jia is, he is still a beast. It was he who underestimated his wildness and pushed himself into a situation where there would be no redemption.
At the corner, there were two miserable corpses pretending to be dead.At this moment, he felt that he was going to die, perhaps worse than the death of these two people.
All the guards along the way lay bloodstained on the ground, and after passing the last corner, they arrived at the cell area where the black raptors were most densely populated.
Countless pairs of hands with long black armor stretched out from both sides of the dungeon, as if trying to grab something, and the screams almost burst the stone's eardrums.
Shi Shi ran out covering his ears, but was suddenly caught by a sharp claw on his shoulder, and with a "squeaky" sound, he took off a piece of bloody cloth.
Shi Shi didn't even hum, and instinctively took two quick steps back. He knew that there was also a crow's claws behind him, so he consciously controlled his back, but was still scratched by the crow's clothes on his back. .
Shi Shi hurriedly walked to the middle, not daring to look at the black raptors on both sides, and ran out quickly.
There was buzzing in his ears, and the stone couldn't hear anything clearly, so he could only keep running out.Out of the tunnel, the sound is much lower.
Seeing the scene outside the dungeon clearly, the stone froze in place, unable to move as if his feet were rooted.
The place of punishment has turned into Shura Hell.
The half-naked beast screaming and waving its sharp claws, with a ferocious expression, bloodthirsty eyes, faintly red pupils, and bloody stumps flying around exaggeratedly splashed around him.
Hundreds of thugs flocked into the execution ground, providing conditions for the killing of the black raptor.
Stone's eyes were covered with blood, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of blood mist.He stared out blankly, leaning against the stone wall feebly.
For a moment, there seemed to be no sound in my ears, only the picture in front of me was silently changing.
☆, escape
Flesh and blood flew across the execution ground, but it was not a unilateral fight.
The black-clothed leader standing on the high wall looked coldly at the extremely agile black raptors in the execution ground, annoyed that they were unable to subdue them.
Since it can't be recovered, then there is no need to worry about it.The leader said in a deep voice, "Kill him!"
His volume is not very loud, but the entire punishment ground is filled with his voice, obviously using internal strength.
The thugs immediately pulled out the cold weapons behind them.
No matter how strong the black raptor is, it is only a fleshy body, and Xu Jia soon failed.
Watching the fight in Xingdi, Shitou gradually regained his senses.He looked at the road from here to the door. Although it was dangerous, it was better than sitting still, so he boldly ran outside.
"He let Xu Jia go, I'll kill him!" A thug suddenly shouted, flying behind the stone with his feet, and raised his sword at the same time.
Hearing the voice of the thug, Shi Shi instinctively dodged to the side, and luckily escaped the blow. Before he could stand still, he turned around and saw a thug in charge of Xujia raised his knife at him expressionlessly. The edge of the blade, like a thin line, flashed cold light under the glow of the fiery red sunset.
Stone took a breath, and his pupils dilated suddenly.It was too late for his body to adjust, he could only watch helplessly as the big knife slashed towards him.
"Old Fifth, show mercy!"
Someone yelled, and the knife paused slightly in the air, probably because the thug hesitated for a while, before Shi Shi could feel joy, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and the sharp blade was close in front of him.
"Ah!" Stone instinctively put his arms around his head, only to feel his body bump into a fiery embrace, and his body flew into the air instantly.
"Follow me!" The man in black on the high wall waved his hand, not squinting his sword: "Bow and arrow!"
Soon someone brought a bow and arrow and handed it to the leader.The leader frowned tightly, drew his bow and arrows full, and aimed at the black raptor in the sky...
Shi Shi smelled a strong smell of blood, but his body didn't feel the slightest pain. After a while, he opened his eyes in disbelief, and saw a bloody face full of evil spirit.
"Xujia!"
"Chirp~" Xu Jia let out a long and excited whistle, and waved his wings vigorously to glide forward.
Shi Shi glanced down, his body trembled immediately, and he hugged Xu Jia's overly muscular chest tightly, fearing that his body would slip, and his legs also clamped his legs.
Xu Jia looked at the human in his arms, sensed his fear, and hugged him even tighter.He flew so fast that the stone couldn't even hear any sound from below. He looked back from Xu Jia's shoulder uneasily, but he saw an arrow flying fast.
"Xujia be careful." Shitou shouted.
Xu Jia let out a "chi" sound, jumped up in the air, and then the arrow behind him flew past them.
Xu Jia turned his head, glanced at the humans chasing and running like ants on the ground, then looked at the man in black standing on the high wall, and imitated the facial expressions of humans and smiled bluntly.
"Chirp~"
The voice was ridiculed with contempt and sarcasm. Seeing the anger in the eyes of the human being with satisfaction, Xu Jia laughed even more arrogantly, and blood beads appeared from the bloodstain hanging diagonally on his face, embellishing his expression. more ferocious.
Seeing that the people on the ground were getting smaller and smaller, beyond the range of the bow and arrow, Shito was completely relieved.As soon as he relaxed, the tense muscles in his body also relaxed, beating slightly uncontrollably, making his hands and feet even weaker, and he could only lean on the arms around his waist.
The sun finally sank below the horizon, and the sky quickly darkened.Xujia chirped tirelessly for a long time, flying wildly in the air, and before they knew it, they were far away from the fishing village.
"Xujia." Shito put his arms around Wu Mengniao's neck, smiled weakly with a pale face, "I knew you wouldn't leave me."
"Chirp~" Xu Jia chirped again.Shi Shi hurriedly said: "Don't call, you will attract people from Yiqing Pavilion. You have to rest, it will be bad if they find you then."
It seemed that Shi Shi's words had an effect, Xu Jia stopped after screaming, but suddenly bit Shi Shi's face, startling him.
"Hiss~Xujia!" Shishi didn't dare to move, and hugged Wu Mengniao even tighter.
The mouth on the face was as hot as a steamer, almost scalding his skin, and soon, the stone felt liquid flow out, and the bones on the face hurt as if they were about to be bitten into pieces.
Xu Jia didn't let go until he tasted the blood in his mouth, and licked the stone's face repeatedly, staining the blood on his face.
"Hiss~ It hurts." Stone shrunk his neck, freed a hand to wipe his face indiscriminately, and touched an exaggeratedly large bite mark, which almost covered half of his face.
He couldn't help but look at the black bird's mouth.Strange, it looks normal, how can such a big bite mark?
"Xujia, why did you bite me all of a sudden?" Shitou rubbed his face in pain, the bones on his face were aching, and he could vaguely smell the saliva with the smell of Xujia in his nose.
"Wuli." Wu Mengniao suddenly said in Shitou's ear.
"what?"
The wind was too strong, Shitou looked at Xujia and asked, "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly!"
The black bird looked at Shi Shi's face, turned its head suddenly, and swooped down. Shi Shi suddenly screamed, and his heart shrank suddenly. The severe weightlessness caused his stomach to constrict. I retched a few times.
Another spin, finally leveled off.The stone let go of the bird's neck, opened its mouth and breathed heavily, its feet on the ground lost all feeling, its legs were as soft as noodles, its brain seemed to be stirred into a pot of paste, and the whole earth was spinning .
Stone stood unsteadily for a while, then fell down and sat on the ground with Wuli's support.
"You..." Shitou shook his head vigorously, trying to overlap a row of figures in front of him, and asked softly, "What did you just say?"
"Wuli, name."
Stone couldn't see Wu Mengniao's face clearly in the dark, but he could see his pupils glowing in the dark, looking at him burningly, with a light that he couldn't understand.
"Wuli? Is your name Wuli?" Shitou pursed his lips and smiled, two dimples appeared on his palm-sized face, and said softly, "Your name sounds nice."
Wu Liye could see things, and he could see Shitou's expression completely. He couldn't help being slightly dazed, and suddenly reached out and poked Shishi's face.
Wu Li murmured: "Stone."
Shi Shi laughed even more happily, probably because he didn't die in Wu Mengniao's mouth, and his fear of Wu Li suddenly disappeared.When the pain was touched, he also touched his face and complained jokingly, "Why did you bite me, it hurts like hell."
Wu Li paused slightly, his eyes fell on the bloody bite marks on the stone, and he suddenly turned his head away, leaving a broad back for the stone.
Stone didn't ask much, and checked the place where the black raptor scratched.
A gust of night wind blew over his exposed skin, making it cool.
Shi Shi tightened the clothes on his shoulders, and when he touched the wound, he took a painful breath.Suddenly thought of something, Shitou's expression changed, he hurriedly touched his sleeves anxiously, his expression suddenly relaxed, then touched his arms and waist, heaved a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the money is still there."
Wu Li gently licked the blood on his fingers, and his ears trembled when he heard the movement.
"By the way." Shi Shi climbed up to Wu Li and knelt down opposite Wu Li: "Can you take me back? I packed some clothes and want to take them out."
Wu Li snorted, but immediately pulled the stone to stand up, and flew into the air with a wave of wings.
Shi Shi tightened his body, and quickly hugged Wu Li's neck tightly, hanging himself firmly on him.
"Be careful, they know where I live, and someone might be ambushing there." He also thought of this suddenly, and he saw Yiqing Pavilion's ruthlessness when he was in Xingdi, which made him pay more attention.
"Hmm." Wu Li replied in a deep voice, making a beautiful 180-degree transformation in the air, and then the corners of his mouth curled up in a satisfied arc.no shackles
