Chapter 59 The inmates in the bandit den
The dark cell was filled with a sour smell. Two bandits in civilian costumes opened the door of the cell. The entire dungeon was spacious and hundreds of square meters wide, and ten simple cells were built inside. Of course, it was basically a place where rich people were imprisoned. As a robber's nest, wouldn't it be imprisoned if rich people were not imprisoned?
Two bandits and men entered the dungeon with the dizzy Qin Shou rudely. Cells No. 1-9 were filled with rich merchants who were looting, most of them were distinguished guests who were planning to collect money and release them. Qin Shou was very fortunate to live in Cell No. 10, which only had two erotic brothers who lived here in this cell.
Two long-time residents in cell No. 10 were asleep with their heads covered, and seemed to be numb to what was happening outside. Every few days, there were always fat sheep merchants coming in and out. One of the inmates heard the footsteps and walked towards his cell. He immediately turned over and quickly lifted up the covered coarse cloth, quickly climbed down the simple earthen bed and stepped on the ground, stomped lightly twice.
Two bandits opened the dusty cell door, rudely threw Qin Shou into the cell, patted the dust with both hands and said, "Hehe... You two scoundrels are gone, today I've sent an official to be your company and serve you very much. If there is any mistake, you two are asking, what else is there? Why can't you get up to welcome the new prisoner?"
"Two brothers, he is asleep. The young men will definitely take good care of him. Don't worry, two brothers, you will do your best to serve you!" The inmate who stood up nodded and bowed, responding to the words of the two big men, and pleading with a silly smile on his face.
The two bandits and men closed the door of the prison and spit out vulgarly. The wealthy businessmen who rushed from the dungeon shouted loudly, letting me go out and the like, which caused two bandits and men to despise these fat sheep and wealthy businessmen. They would have let you go out before they received the ransom, and they hummed a little song that was not tuned in their mouths.
Qin Shou's neck was bandaged in the cell No. 10. After the inmate who lived here and the bandits left, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly moved out of the position. A black shadow quickly climbed up from the ground, and the two whispered in a low voice, whispering unknown whispers.
As for what to discuss, only the two of them knew. They walked into Qin Shou carefully, holding a hazy candlelight in their hands and looked at Qin Shou who was confused. They didn't know how long they had been in this bandit's nest dungeon. They were dim and dumb all year round. If there weren't a candle, they would have really reached out to see their five fingers.
The evil bandits didn't even prepare a brazier, and the whole dungeon was black. The most annoying thing was that only a few candles were allocated in each cell, and the time was used up and the amount was used up. I had to wait until the redistribution tomorrow! If I don't want to suffer, I will see if my family members wake up and pay the redemption on time!
The two of them looked close to Qin Shou with candles. They were speechless when they saw Qin Shou's age. This official was too young, right? It seems that they are not yet in their empty crown. It can be seen from the unwrapped head on Qin Shou's head. In addition, his young face is clear without having to look closely. If Qin Shou had not been wearing a ninth-grade sesame military officer uniform, they would not have believed that Qin Shou was the official master.
A prisoner kindly helped Qin Shou up and stretched out his palm covered with mud. It was unknown how long it hadn't been washed. The big black palm slapped Qin Shou's face and said, "Wake up, Master Guan, wake up, wake up, it's time to eat. Brother Huang, come on, help to help this Master Guan, Oh, this is a Master Guan, you can't be neglected!"
Another inmate shook his head and sighed, "It's over, it's over, even the officials were robbed in by the robbers. Is the Tang Dynasty's energy exhausted? Or is this Lotus Village already strong enough to compete with the court? Brother Zhou, is it in vain for us to do our best? We have worked so hard..."
The inmate who started talking turned into a ginger shape and tapped Brother Huang's inmate's head hard. He put his dirty hands on Brother Huang's inmate's neck and cursed in a low voice: "Shh! Brother Huang, how can you talk about such a confidential secret? Speak quietly, don't let someone listen. Brother Huang, do you want to stay here for the rest of your life? Let Master Guan go to bed first!"
One of them is Huang Bing and the other is Zhou Xiong. Both of them are small merchants who wandered the Silk Road. Where did the ransom redeem their families without wives or children? They can only stay in this bandits' den dungeon for the rest of their lives. These bandits who are jealous of money are not good people, and they will not be conscientious and will not find out that they have let you go or something. They will just keep you from having food for you and will not starve to death.
When Qin Shou woke up, he found himself in a strange place, with an unpleasant sour smell in the air. There was only a swaying candlelight in the dim cell. Two swaying figures were pacing back and forth, muttering in their mouths that they were discussing something, very quietly so hard that they were hard and unspeakable.
Qin Shou struggled to get up, and because he pulled the wound on his neck too hard, Qin Shou frowned and covered the wound on his neck with one hand, grinned and asked, "Two brothers, hiss...ah, it hurts, where is this place? Why is it pitch black? Why does it feel a bit like a dungeon?"
Indeed, the entire dungeon was filled with an unpleasant sour smell, which was many times worse than the dungeons of Dali Temple. The most important thing was that people were hurting when they were thorny on the earthen bed. The ground bed was covered with hard straw. Anyway, I don’t know how long it took to lay it, and lice could see traces in the dim candlelight.
Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing were talking in a low voice. Suddenly, he turned around when he heard Qin Shou’s question. Zhou Xiong stepped forward and helped Qin Shou up, smacked his lips and said, "Report to Master Guan, this is the Lotus Village dungeon. The villain only knows so much. The villain also wants to know the specific location!"
Qin Shou pressed the numb and itchy wound on his neck with one hand, as if an ant was drilling into the wound and biting it, and Qin Shou sat up with Zhou Xiong's support and said, "Thank you, brother, dungeon? Lotus Village? How dare you ask me, what is Lotus Village? I have never heard of it. Could it be that this is a bandit's nest?"
Huang Bing bowed with a sad face and said, "That's right, Master Guan, this is indeed a Lotus Village, a bandit nest and stronghold that specializes in robbing merchants on the Silk Road. The villain was also tragically killed and was arrested. Because he had no family members to pay the redemption, he has not been released yet. Do you too..."
Qin Shou scratched the wound on his neck with one hand, and frowned in pain and said, "What is it? Hiss... I'm so painful. Why can I become a thief? Oh... I'm afraid of a gentleman, why are you doing? I don't have to look at it like this, right? I'm a damn bandit nest, I'm the first to destroy it after I go out!"
Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing did not say anything. They looked at each other. Qin Shou came too suddenly, forcing Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing to treat them with caution. The passage they secretly dug can only be suspended now. Who knows if Qin Shou was sent by bandits from Lotus Village to spies or something? They have been spending their shameless food and drink here for some time.
Qin Shou grabbed the affected area of the wound with one hand, and the more he scratched, the more he felt itchy and painful. A sound of hunger came from his stomach. Qin Shou patted his stomach with the other hand and said, "Oh... two brothers, are there any food? They starved to death. Damn little girl, it's really cruel to take action. Damn I actually have blood dysfunction!"
Zhou Xiong picked up a Hu cake that was the size of a face plate. His dirty hands made Qin Shou feel completely hungry. Zhou Xiong said without realizing it: "Yes, yes, sir, there is a Hu cake that has just been baked for a while. Although the bandits here are not authentic, the food is still good. You can eat it while it is hot!"
Qin Shou looked at Zhou Xiong's dirty hands with a sweat. The big-faced Hu cake really looked extremely attractive. Qin Shou's appetite just raised suddenly said: "Uh... this, I am not hungry now, so forget it. You eat it. Really, you eat it while it's hot, I'm cute!"
Huang Bing held a palm-sized slap bun in his hand, which was empty of grilled mutton ingredients. He said with an explanation: "Sir, you are cute and polite. The little guys are already used to these harder slap buns. We have long been accustomed to traveling on the Silk Road. You can just let it go! Oh! The little guy knows, Brother Zhou, your hand!"
Zhou Xiong slapped his head in a daze with Huang Bing reminder. The feelings were his hands dirty. No wonder Qin Shou refused to be kind. Zhou Xiong said apologetically: "Ah? Oh... Sorry, I'm sorry, the villain is taking it, you're holding it firmly, the villain will tear the dirty place open..."
In the Lotus Village, a young girl sat on the throne of the village master of Zhongyi Hall. The building area of the entire Zhongyi Hall hall is as wide as ten feet wide. A large Yi character behind the throne of the village master is written crookedly. It is obvious that it is a calligraphy treasure left by a bad person whose calligraphy is not up to standard. The entire Zhongyi Hall hall hall is quiet.
The young girl looked at the three reinforcements who came back with tired expressions. More than 20 reinforcements helped break through the siege and most of the brothers were killed or injured. The arrests and injuries were already considered good results to be able to escape back to the three subordinates, especially escaped from the famous general of the four-man Gang of Tang Dynasty.
The young girl is called Zixuan. As for her real name, the hundreds of brothers in the entire Lotus Village do not know. The master has left the sect and is still a question mark. They only know that the master is very skilled in martial arts. The Lotus Village was originally called Qingfeng Village. After baptism and change of masters half a year ago, it was changed to the current Lotus Village.
The former village leader He Dacong went out to rob and met the current Lotus Village leader Miss Zixuan. He Dacong was attracted by the beauty of Zixuan wearing a white shirt and narrow-sleeved shirt and robe. He was shocked by the fairy from heaven. She was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt and robe, and was strange and rare in the world. Her bones looked like fairies in paintings.
The former leader was greedy for Zixuan's beauty. The sperm and insects wanted to force Zixuan to become the wife of the village. Zixuan, who had a very high force, killed He Dacong in a few seconds. At that time, the minions of Qingfeng Village were all farmer-like martial arts, so how could they beat Zixuan, who had a very high force? Zixuan, who was stubborn, became the current leader and changed Qingfeng Village to Lianhua Village.
Almost all three minions who escaped were injured, especially one of them was swept by the wild beams of Cheng Fairy, and he almost vomited blood and died. If the other two minions were not loyal enough, they would have been either cut to death by random knives or damaged to prison. Among them, the city management soldiers were the ones with the heaviest attacks.
The minion stood up with a swollen nose and blue face, covering the bulging parts of his cheeks with one hand. These were the traces left by the city management soldiers. The minion A cried and cried without tears: "The boss, the brothers were dead and disabled, or even if they were arrested, we finally risked our lives to run out..."
The minion Yi also had a swollen nose and a blue face. He covered his cheeks with one hand and grinned his teeth and said with a whisper: "Yes, especially those urban management soldiers, who are heavy in the city. Look, we three have been hit by a lot of bad guys in the chaos. The boss, do you think the arrested brothers can't stand the confession in the prison? Then we are here..."
The minion Ding didn't say anything. Now his back pain was about to break. Cheng's fairy swept across the army with one move. It was really powerful. Without burping, it was already considered that the ancestral grave was filled with smoke. He lay on the ground and grinned his teeth and hissed. The boss was silent. What else could he say?
Originally, they were just disguised as a dressed-up to the city to purchase daily necessities, but who knew that the boss actually meddled with other people's business, which caused them to lose many brothers. Of course, the three of them dared to be angry but did not dare to say it clearly. The three of them were unlucky when the boss got angry. Their martial arts were also taught by the boss, and they could not beat them!
Zixuan frowned two willow eyebrows. At this time, she was worried about exposing her target. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, okay, you three go down. The leader of this village knows. Could it be that you still have to kill back to save people? Retreat! This village is mainly quiet for a moment!"
"Yes, the boss!" The three minions looked at each other in a glance. The boss had orders, so they had no choice but to retreat. At this time, they realized something that the boss was very angry and the consequences were very serious. If you have nothing to do, you should not get angry. This fairy-like village master is not that easy to mess with.
Zixuan sat on the throne of the village leader, restlessly sitting on the left and right. She saw the person she didn't want to see the most. Fortunately, the other party did not recognize her identity. Zixuan's secretly went down the mountain had already attracted the attention of the master, but she had kept her whereabouts secretly, and fortunately someone did not recognize her.
"Damn it, catching a dog official has also caused so many big names. What does this dog official have to do with them? It seems that he values him very much, Uncle Lian..." Zixuan muttered to herself. She was a little curious about how Qin Shou's identity she had captured had led to the Tang Dynasty Gang of Four?
Zixuan became a little irritable. Of course, what she was irritable was not the sacrificed brothers from the Lotus Village, but the irritable identity of Qin Shou. Zixuan stretched her waist and stood up and muttered to herself: "I can't figure it out, don't think about it anymore, so I'll ask myself tomorrow. Why is this dog official so complicated background? Let's take a shower and sleep first. "
When night fell, Qin Shou crossed his legs in the dungeon, lying on the soil bed that had been covered with straw, patting his full belly with one hand. Hu Bing is really full. Qin Shou only chewed one-third of it and became full. Although it tasted a little boring, it was better than starving, right?
Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing sat on the dirt bed on the side. They were filled with hearts, with a look of wanting to stop. Qin Shou accidentally moved in and made them hesitate. He said that he had dug most of the time and had dug it out for a specific length. Anyway, it should be enough to dig out the territory of Lianhua Village.
Qin Shou broke a straw and lifted the pancakes on his teeth. He turned his head to look at Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing. Seeing the two of them wanting to stop, Qin Shou immediately guessed in his heart that these two must have something to hide from him. There seems to be nothing worth hiding in this broken cell, unless it is the legendary jailbreak passage!
Qin Shou held the straw slut in his mouth and said, "Hey, what are you two doing? If he has hemorrhoids, it's still a bit? Look at you two of you sneaky, you must have something hidden from me. Don't worry, I am a real ninth-rank sesame official, not from this Lotus village."
Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing looked at each other when they heard this. Both of them could see hesitant gazes in their respective eyes. This was related to their plan to escape to the cell. They should be careful and careful to take the wrong move. Then the authentic tunnels they worked hard to dig would lose a bet. The two of them hesitated with their heads down.
If they don't honestly explain, they will be trapped here forever. Who knows how long Qin Shou will stay here? They also have some concerns, fearing that Qin Shou is really a spy. Now the two of them are most concerned about the wrong exit. They will dig for their lives when they have time. Then, someone may notice the wrong exit.
When Qin Shou saw the two of them showing a silent expression, he felt angry and stood up, walked up to them and said, "Hey, what do you two mean? Discrimination or what? It's not authentic to share secrets. Don't think of fooling me!"
Zhou Xiong moved back a while when Qin Shou approached, with a guilty expression on his face and said with a smile: "I dare not, I dare not, how dare I hide anything from my deceiving you, sir, you are not? We are counting the time to be detained here. Really, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir?"
Huang Bing nodded guiltily after Zhou Xiong asked, not daring to look at Qin Shou's eyes with a steady look, and said vaguely: "Hmm? Ah? Yes, yes, sir, I am really planning the time to come here. I just got halfway through this, so I interrupted you, sir. Alas..."
Qin Shou looked at Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing with disdain, and from their expressions, Qin Shou was even more sure that these two guys had not told the truth. Such childish words were OK to deceive people without knowledge. They were still young to deceive themselves! Qin Shou became more and more sure that they had secretly dug up the passage or something.
Qin Shou said in a low voice: "Two brothers, celebrities don't say secret words. Have you dug up some escape passages? Look, I've really been told by me, right? Don't worry, I want to go out too, one more person, do you still believe me? Do you still have to find evidence before you can answer honestly?"
"This..." Zhou Xiong and Huang Bing looked at each other, and a storm surged in their hearts. Let's admit it. They both felt a little scared, not admit it, and felt a little panicked. They both felt a little complicated and uneasy.
Zhou Xiong was staring at Qin Shou, thought for a while and sighed and said in a low voice: "Oh... Brother Huang, there is nothing to hide now. What the adults said is right. One more person is more effective. Okay, we admit that we have dug an authentic tunnel."
Huang Bing followed Zhou Xiong's words and put his hand on Qin Shou's ear and whispered: "But it hasn't been dug yet. Sir, you know, why don't we dig together? Avoid the nights long and dreams, and the wrong exit goes straight to the bathhouse. The villain is afraid that there will be changes if it is late, and someone will find out..."
When Qin Shou heard the two of them telling the truth, he smiled and praised them with thumbs up. Qin Shou said in a low voice: "Good, two brothers, I like you, those of you who are happy. Okay, we'll dig now without delay. Staying here is not a solution!"
Huang Bing held a candle in his mouth and ran carefully to the top of the edge of the adobe bed occupied by Qin Shou, gently swept away the straw for concealment, revealing a hole the size of a dog hole. There was a rumbling sound of a cool saxaul inside. Fortunately, the cell here was covered with adobe walls, and the light problem caused no one to notice. Huang Bing first got in and was about to lead the way inside.
Zhou Xiong carefully helped Qin Shou take off his official uniform so that he would not have any muddy sticks to Qin Shou's clothes, revealing flaws. After Qin Shou took off his official uniform, he exposed a white pajamas. He slowly got into the hole without any dirty thoughts. What is the dirtiness of life and freedom?
Zhou Xiong ran to the entrance of the cave and whispered: "Sir, be careful, follow Brother Huang closely. The passage inside was a bit messy. We both took turns digging to avoid the bandits from finding tricks when checking the cells. Sir, be careful, the passage inside was a bit narrow, be careful to meet!"
"I understand, brother..." Qin Shou's erratic voice came from the entrance of the cave. Zhou Xiong picked up the straw pile on the ground and buried the hole again. After all, he started to fake two adobe beds. The two cloths were sorted out and someone was sleeping. After finishing the work, Zhou Xiong approached the door of the prison cell and sat down to watch for the movement outside.
Chapter completed!
