Chapter 72: The Reappearance of Old Scenes Brings Back Memories (3)
(Return to normal updates tomorrow)
Lin Yi took Su Jin'er's hand and walked to a stop a few feet away from these people. Then Lin Yi leaned against a tree and looked at these people. Finally, Lin Yi's eyes fell on the young man with shackles on his hands and feet.
How familiar this "young man" is to him!
A warm smile also appeared on Lin Yi's face.
His eyes were also hazy as if he was drunk.
He also fell into a memory.
Strangely enough, these people, including the young man, and Lin Yi and Su Jin'er, who were standing opposite each other, turned a blind eye. It was as if the couple did not exist at all.
It's like people from two worlds.
This confused Su Jiner.
Su Jin'er asked Lin Yi strangely: "Can't they see us?"
Lin Yi said softly: "As long as we can see them. We don't want to disturb them, just watch like this."
Su Jin'er said: "Why?"
Lin Yi said: "For the sake of the past."
Su Jin'er found it difficult to understand Lin Yi's words at this moment.
Lin Yi leaned on the tree, and Su Jin'er leaned on his shoulder.
The couple just looked at these people.
At this time, those people took out food to eat and drink. The young man also wanted some food, but was severely beaten by one of these people, a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.
The young man slapped the young man on the head and face and yelled and cursed.
"What kind of a piece of shit are you! You're a bastard of a pig and a dog. You still want to take revenge. I'll let you take revenge..."
Facing the young man's evil deeds, Su Jin'er became angry and could no longer remain silent.
She shouted to the young man: "Stop! He is still a child, you just don't give him food, and you torture him like this..."
But the young man turned a deaf ear to Su Jin'er's shouts.
It's like she doesn't exist at all.
Su Jin'er was about to step forward to stop her, but Lin Yi pulled her back.
Lin Yi shook his head at her.
Su Jin'er said excitedly: "They beat a child severely! Why don't you care?!"
Lin Yi said softly: "Don't worry about anything, don't ask anything, just watch. You see, it's like they can't see us. We don't interfere with each other."
At this moment, Su Jin'er felt as if she had fallen into the clouds and mist. She didn't know why.
Indeed, those people had no response to her screams when she saw injustice on the road. They treated her as if she didn't exist at all. It was so weird. This made Su Jin'er feel like she was in a dream.
I really don’t know whether these people are in a dream or she is in a dream.
The boy's nose and mouth were bleeding after being beaten by the young man.
After a while, a man in his thirties stopped the young man.
The man spoke a few words to the young man and asked a beautiful woman who was accompanying him to give the young man something to eat. So the woman gave the young man a cake.
The young man took a bite of the cake and chewed it slowly.
Su Jin'er looked at the young man, whose eyes were full of stubbornness and hatred.
Su Jin'er really wants to know who this boy is.
As Lin Yi watched all this, a feeling that shook his soul filled his heart like water.
After a while, three people entered the woods and came this way. They were a pair of officers escorting a prisoner.
The prisoner was wearing wooden shackles and looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old. Although the prisoner had a gray face, the prison mark on his cheek was clearly visible. The three of them passed by Lin Yi and Su Jin'er. They also ignored their existence, just like these people.
, as if the two of them could not be seen at all.
The officer glanced at those people and stopped two or three feet away from them.
Then the two officials took out the food and started eating and drinking.
The young prisoner begged two police officers.
"My lord, please give me some food and drink. Just give me some food every day, otherwise I will starve to death before I reach the border..."
A thin official said to the prisoner with a fierce voice: "You have committed such a big thing, which is outrageous to both humans and gods. You still dare to ask for food and drink. Shut up now, or see how I deal with you!"
The young prisoner no longer dared to gnaw, his eyes looked pitiful as he looked at the others who were eating meat and drinking wine.
But those people would not give food to young prisoners.
The young man wearing the iron chain was moved with compassion. He dragged the iron chain to the young prisoner.
He looked at her and she looked at him.
Then he handed the cake in his hand towards her.
The young prisoner stretched out his hand to receive it.
At this moment, the two of them moved very slowly.
Surprisingly slow.
It's like time has slowed down several times in an instant.
The moment the young prisoner caught the cake, time seemed to stop. The two of them became motionless. Each held half of the cake in their hands. The piece of cake connected them.
The rest of the people were also motionless, each maintaining their original posture.
Time is frozen in this moment.
When Su Jin'er saw this scene, a picture suddenly flashed through her mind. A picture that she had forgotten after she lost her memory. The picture flashed through her mind. Her heart and her body couldn't help but tremble.
Then the boy and the juvenile prisoner moved again.
It's as if time has started moving again.
The young prisoner quickly thanked him.
Then she said to the boy: "Brother, what have you committed?"
The young man said: "Nothing was done."
The young prisoner said: "Why are you wearing iron shackles if you haven't committed any crime?"
The young man didn't answer, so he turned around again and silently returned to the previous place to sit down.
The prisoner ate the cake like a wolf.
The young man who beat the young man spoke. He said to the young prisoner: "Boy, what did you commit? Tell the uncle. If the uncle is in a good mood, I will reward you with meat."
The prisoner said to the young man: "Come back to me, uncle, I stole an egg and was sentenced to a heavy sentence and sent to the border."
After stealing only one egg, he was sent to the border guard!
This person feels really ridiculous.
Even Su Jin'er thinks this is simply ridiculous.
Su Jin'er looked at Lin Yi. Lin Yi's expression at this moment was indescribable.
At this time, the middle-aged man said to the prisoner: "Tell me and listen."
The prisoner said: "I went to steal the eggs, but the chicken was crowing wildly. I was afraid that the owner of the house would hear it and kill the chicken. But the owner still heard it. The man ran out first, and I didn't want to do anything if the matter was exposed.
Don't stop. Kill the man. As a result, the woman in the house heard the man scream and ran out and threw herself on him, crying: My husband, you died so miserably. Then she hugged my leg and gave her man back.
Life. Think about it, I only had one life, so I beat her to death, and then I stole the egg and ran away..."
When Su Jin'er saw and heard this, several scenes flashed through her mind.
Those scenes are almost exactly the same as the current scene.
Su Jin'er stared at the young prisoner.
Why, everything about this prisoner's words and deeds is so familiar...
Those people listened to the prisoners and didn't believe it was true. This was simply fooling them.
The young man was also angry. He said loudly: "You are talking nonsense, don't you want to live anymore?"
The prisoner hurriedly said: "Young man, you don't dare to talk nonsense, everything I said is true."
At this time, another older official said to the young man: "He is really not talking nonsense. This is what happened."
At this time, Su Jin'er's mind kept flashing pictures from the past. Almost all of them corresponded to this scene.
She suddenly squeezed Lin Yi's hand tightly.
Her body was trembling slightly and her voice was trembling.
Her eyes were also filled with crystal tears.
She choked up excitedly and said to Lin Yi: "This... this young prisoner is me! Is it me, right? The one who beat people is Qin Dingfang. That young man wearing iron chains is you... You gave me a piece of cake back then.
