Mai Mai endured the pain all over her body and reluctantly opened her eyes. She looked around in a hazy state.
It is surrounded by airtight stone walls, the light is dim, the air is filled with putrid smells, and the only wooden door is tightly closed.
Where is this? The legendary hell cell?
Mai Mai smiled sadly. Sure enough, those who commit sins will go to hell after death. She stood up and struggled to sit up, but she didn't want to but pulled the wound on her back. The biting pain made her let out a weak cry. No matter where the injury came from, all that flashed before her eyes was the moment she jumped from the building.
Her petite body moved to the corner, slowly bent her knees and put them against her chin.
Finally, she was freed and no longer had to bear the blame. The poor mother must be very sad, and the father should be... Tears shed from the corners of her eyes for no reason. She doesn't blame her father, she really doesn't. If there is an afterlife, she will still choose Be their child.
She lowered her head and looked at the clothes she was wearing. She was wearing a set of gray clothes and pants, with a big word "prison" written on the chest. Thinking about it, the underworld should have already listed her charges, and maybe they would take her to court soon. .
Leaning gently on the cold wall behind her, her eyes were looking at a certain place without focus. How could she repay what she owed her brother? She thought she would be able to get rid of all this after she died, but she could still think at this time. , I will still feel guilty.
"Crash", there was a sound of chains outside the door, and then the door was pushed open.
Two people walked in, dressed as official servants. Mai Mai unconsciously became more sure of his guess. It seemed that they were ghost servants from the underworld.
Two officers came over and picked her up without any explanation, saying in a cold voice, "Let's go! It's time to send you off today!" The voice was cold and stiff.
Mai Mai let them drag her out of the cell. Although she was a little timid, she knew that sooner or later, she would be on the road to hell.
"Hey, why is this woman so quiet today?" The officer glanced at the supple Mai Mai and couldn't help but mutter.
"That's right, don't you usually cry like ghosts and howl?"
"I see, she knew she was going to be executed soon, and she was scared out of her wits."
"Haha, that makes sense."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Mai Mai frowned in confusion. From what they said, she had been here for more than a day or two, but she had clearly just gone to hell!
Before Maimai could figure it out, she was already taken to a wide square. The dazzling sunlight made her subconsciously raise her eyes. It turned out that there would be sun in the underworld.
After getting used to the light, she realized that she was surrounded by crowds of onlookers, all wearing ancient costumes that could only be seen on TV. From time to time they were pointing at her and whispering.
Mai Mai's brows furrowed even tighter. There would be ghosts watching when being tortured in the underworld? His eyes turned to the center of the field, where dozens of men, women, and children were kneeling in a row. Like her, they were wearing gray prison uniforms, with long hair disheveled.
"Hurry up!" The official pushed him impatiently. Mai Mai suppressed his questions without saying a word. He silently walked to the end of the row and knelt down obediently. She was the murderer of her brother. She would not be punished no matter what. Acceptance of complaints.
At this time, the official sitting in front of the square stood up, held a scroll in his hand, unfolded it, and chanted, "The Lan family collaborates with the enemy and treason! Trouble the imperial court! They are guilty of a heinous crime! They shall be punished by beheading!"
Mai Mai raised her head in confusion and saw the supervisor throwing down a red card with the word "Zhan". Wait, is there something wrong? Mai Mai twisted her body uneasily, her big clear eyes confused. She looked around. She had already jumped to her death, so why was she sentenced to be beheaded?
What does it mean to collaborate with the enemy, treason, and bring trouble to the country? Isn’t this the underworld?
The person behind her used brute force to push down her front body, exposing her slender neck.
"Ah! I don't want to die, I don't want to die!" The young woman next to her yelled at the top of her lungs, "Lan Xiong, I hate you! It was you who harmed our family!"
Lan Xiong closed his eyes in pain and allowed his wife to vent her last resentment.
"Oh...Mom, I'm so scared..." Kneeling next to the young woman was a boy who was only a few years old. His tear-filled eyes were full of fear, his little face had long been turned into a ball, and his little body shrunk.
Trembling on the ground.
"Qing'er, Qing'er, don't be afraid!" The woman wanted to move to get closer, but was kicked hard by the strong man behind her, "Be honest!"
Mai Mai lowered her head and finally caught a glimpse of the boy through the gap. Suddenly, her whole body froze and she stared at the boy in disbelief!
