Deng Long felt that he had never slept so comfortably. He felt that he had had a long dream. In the dream, Deng Long came to the huge courtyard again. The yard was full of flowers and plants. A gentle man
The woman had a sweet smile on her face, holding a baby in her arms and humming softly. A middle-aged man, holding a book in his hand, came happily from the hall and carefully touched the baby's face with his fingers.
, with extremely gentle eyes, she said, "Xiaolong is so good today." The woman gently kissed the baby in her arms and said to the man, "Xiaolong just fell asleep, don't wake him up."
The warmth in the dream continues. Deng Long has grown up with Uncle Qing since he was a child. Uncle Qing left before he died without even having time to tell him about his life experience. Seeing the baby named "Xiao Long" so happy, Deng Long felt a pang in his heart.
I felt an inexplicable sadness, and tears flowed down unconsciously. The woman and the man made me feel so intimate. I was standing next to them, but they seemed to not be able to see me. They were completely immersed in the sweet happiness of their family.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers broke into the compound fiercely, and the man was pushed to the ground. The picture in his dream became increasingly blurry. Deng Long could only vaguely see the fire all over the sky. Deng Long tried his best to see clearly, but failed.
It became more and more blurry, and Deng Long vaguely heard someone calling him. Deng Long shouted and wanted to rush over, but the scene faded away. Deng Long burst into tears, and with tears streaming down his face, he knelt on the ground and kept hitting hard with his fists.
ground
"Deng Long", Deng Long faintly heard an urgent voice pulling him out of his dream. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was Li Kangkai calling him. The left circle of Li Kangkai's eye was black and looked weird. Just as Deng Long wanted to speak out, he found that he
His throat was extremely painful. He whimpered twice and could not make a sound at all. His whole body seemed to fall apart. It hurt like hell. Deng Long grinned and looked very strange.
"Deng Long, you're awake. Don't move. You've suffered some internal injuries and have a high fever. I'll get you some water." Li Kangkai said happily to Deng Long. Gao Fei drank a few sips of water and felt a little better.
, I tried hard to say it several times, and finally I was able to make a sound.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with me? I feel so uncomfortable that I can't stop crying." Deng Long sat up and said weakly, "I don't know. You've been talking nonsense ever since I carried you back. What did you just say?"
It's like going crazy, you beat me randomly, and you punched me in the eye," Li Kangkai said helplessly.
Deng Long thought of the dream just now, and it was still so clear. The voices and smiles of the woman and the man were deeply imprinted in his mind. In fact, Deng Long didn't understand that he had often had this dream in the past two years, many times.
Every time I woke up from the dream with tears, could this be related to his life experience? The baby in the dream was called Xiaolong. The woman and man made me feel so kind and warm. Could it be that they were really his parents? Thinking of this, Deng Long shook his head.
Shake his head, wait until I have time, then ask Grandpa Chen for advice
(Deng Long’s life experience is inserted into this story for everyone. The specific plot will be told in detail by the God of Deng in the future "Dream Chasing")
Deng Long suddenly remembered something, lifted up the quilt and struggled out of bed. Although his whole body was still in great pain, after a night's rest, the internal injuries were no longer serious. Thinking of the ferocity of the zombies yesterday, Deng Long still trembled in his heart.
, if I hadn’t retreated quickly to release my strength, I’m afraid the consequences would have been disastrous.
Only then did Deng Long realize that his body was covered in blood and exuded a strong fishy smell. Then he remembered that he had been splashed with blood by a black dog yesterday, and his sword to ward off evil had malfunctioned as a result. He looked a little bit dead. Thinking of this, Deng Long
When he walked to the bathroom, Li Kangkai had already heated up the hot water. There was still a faint smell of medicinal materials in the tub. It seemed that Brother Li was also a careful person. Deng Long smiled and took a nice hot bath.
After taking a bath, Deng Long suddenly felt his whole body relaxed. Under the infiltration of medicinal herbs, his body no longer hurt. Deng Long went to the oven and poured a cup of hot rice wine. The hot rice wine carried a rich aroma and went straight down his throat.
, a heat suddenly spread throughout the body, it was very warm and comfortable, and Deng Long couldn't help but moan.
This kind of rice wine is nourishing. After drinking a few glasses of rice wine, Deng Long felt that the energy in his body came back to life. Of course, this was also related to Deng Long's good physique. In fact, Deng Long's injuries were not serious.
It’s because of the exhaustion and psychological pressure of the past few days. As soon as I feel good and relax my body, my body recovers very quickly.
Li Kangkai came in carrying a bamboo basket. Seeing Deng Long pouring himself a cup and drinking happily, he put the basket on the table and said, "You feel good, kid. I haven't slept all night, and I still have to serve you."
Deng Long quickly poured a glass for Li Kangkai and said: "Haha, who made you Brother Li? It is natural for you to take care of your younger brother. By the way, what delicious food did you buy?"
After a busy night, Deng Long and Li Kangkai were already extremely hungry. When they opened the basket, Deng Long couldn't help but exclaimed. It turned out to be Jufulou's famous dishes, fried bacon with winter bamboo shoots, braised fish, and braised lion's head, all of which Deng Long loved.
Deng Long was so excited about the food that he almost kissed Li Kangkai on the face. Without any nonsense, the two of them devoured the food thoroughly.
"By the way, how is the situation in Chen's house?" Deng Long wiped his mouth and said, "Oh, I almost forgot, we are going to burn the zombie in the market at noon today!" Li Kangkai suddenly said in surprise.
"Ah!" Deng Long said in surprise, "Great, this damn zombie seems to have been caught." Deng Long couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was deeply hurt by zombies and didn't care whether the injuries on his body were completely healed at this moment.
He poured wine for himself and Li Kangkai and said happily: "Brother Li, come on, let's have a drink! The hard work these days has not been in vain!" Li Kangkai took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, laughing and said: "Yeah, finally not.
It’s all in vain, let us brothers do it!”
It's not long since noon. What's rare is that the sky is clear today. Although the heavy snow is still falling, the sun still quietly rises in the sky. Although it is very light and it is difficult to feel its heat, it gives the whole town a warm glow.
It brought joy to those who went up there. After all, it had been snowing heavily for several days in a row. The sky was covered with dark clouds and the north wind howled all day long. Although the sun was not enough to dispel the cold weather, it warmed people's hearts.
The vegetable market was already crowded with people. Everyone knew that the Chen Mansion fired guns all night last night and caught the real murderer. They heard that the prisoner would be burned at the stake. Everyone came to the vegetable market early.
The market was originally used by the Qing government to process death row prisoners. It is said that this place is the land of the sun, so it became an execution ground for beheadings.
(Since ancient times, we Chinese have a strange hobby. We like to watch fun, especially beheadings. Whenever the executioner kicks the prisoner, he will take a sign from the prisoner. It usually says: xx beheaded immediately,
The executioner was experienced and experienced. When he was extracting the sign, he slashed the death row prisoner's neck with his knife. The prisoner must have stretched out his neck. At the moment when he stretched his neck, the executioner yelled: "Cut!" He raised his knife and dropped it.
, the head rolled to the ground, and the executioner kicked the head off the stage. The audience was like smoking a big cigarette, enjoying the indescribable fun. Of course, occasionally there would be death row prisoners who shouted in the expectant eyes of the audience:
"Eighteen years later, another hero." The audience must have cheered loudly. I have to say that this is a morbid mentality of us Chinese.) The market was crowded with people, and even people from other villages and towns dared to hear the news.
Come, in the Republic of China, there was no need to watch "Beheading". This ancient burning torture was nothing short of an explosive event. Some people even fought to seize a favorable position, but the entire vegetable market was full of people and bustling.
When Deng Long and Li Kangkai arrived, they could only see a dark group of people behind them. Deng Long helplessly spread his hands to Li Kangkai and said: "Brother Li, I never imagined that we country people are so enthusiastic about zombies." Li Kangkai smiled and said
: "Yeah, this zombie is more popular than the reddest white rose in Shanghai! If they knew how scary zombies are, I'm afraid they wouldn't be so enthusiastic!"
While the two were joking with each other, they heard a gunshot, and the security team came over from a distance carrying a black sack. The mayor walked in front, still looking as virtuous as ever, wearing a white top hat and a loose white tunic suit.
, holding a black cane in his hand and raising his head to show his extraordinary status. Deng Long couldn't help snorting coldly when he saw Chen Tianhe's virtue.
The crowd consciously moved out of the way, and the security team ran into the venue first to maintain order. The mayor and Captain He, under the protection of two lines of security team members, slowly walked to the high platform. Only then did Deng Long see clearly that the high platform was full of people.
The dry firewood was high and a small ladder was set up. But what puzzled Deng Long was that Qiu Gang did not come with the mayor. He must have exerted too much force yesterday and is still recovering at this moment.
The mayor walked up to the high platform and spread his hands to signal everyone to be quiet. Chen Tianhe's prestige in this town was extremely high. Everyone in the audience immediately fell silent. Chen Tianhe said: "Currently, under my command, the security team
The murderer who specializes in killing women was caught last night. As for Chen Laoliu, I declare that he will be released immediately. Due to the special nature of the murderer, after consultation with the security team, it was decided to burn the murderer."
Deng Long smiled and said to Li Kangkai: "Chen Tianhe is really clever. He didn't announce that the murderer was a zombie. He packed the zombie in a black sack. The excitement was overshadowed by this, and it lost a little bit of attraction.
!" Li Kangkai nodded and said: "Hey, it would be great if everyone knew it well. If I were Chen Tianhe, I would handle it in the same way to reduce panic!" Deng Long nodded.
The two security team members carried the zombie up the pyre with difficulty along the small ladder. Chen Tianhe took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. It was exactly twelve o'clock and shouted: "Light the fire!"
The audience stretched their necks to watch this historic moment without blinking, staring at the security guards holding torches. From Deng Long's perspective, they looked like a group of ducks with their necks stretched out.
, Deng Long smiled helplessly.
According to the new law of the Republic of China, execution by burning was not allowed. However, since the target of the torture was a zombie and Chen Tianhe's prestige, no one, including Deng Long, felt there was anything wrong.
However, this fire torture is indeed cruel. Why? The principle of this fire torture is to make those heinous people suffer to death. This fire needs to burn slowly, and it must be burned layer by layer from below, so that the tortured people can be tortured to death.
People suffered so much. It is precisely because of the cruelty of this criminal law that the punishment of burning has been abolished in places that are slightly more civilized and open. Except for some uncivilized places and special circumstances, the punishment of burning is used.
