"You will die after eating it for the first time, but you won't die in the future."
In the deepest and filthiest cell of the Xuanzhu County Patrol Guard's underground prison, a middle-aged man covered in boneless mud looked at the small brown pill on the ground and twitched his lips: "Can anyone in my family survive?"
"After investigation, except for the seven children under the age of ten who have no bad deeds, everyone else has to go through the public trial." Mu Qingmei looked down at him with her hands folded: "Damn it, everyone will die, deserve to live
Yes, he will survive in the end."
"We will not let any criminal who needs to be tried just because we want to make a deal with you, nor will we threaten your family because of this... This medicine is the reward for you to hand over the Lan family's craftsmanship."
"If you are willing, I will call someone to come over and take notes and prepare a good meal for you; if you are not willing, just eat it - unless you are willing to go to a public trial just to survive for a few days.
"
Hearing the word 'public trial', the prisoner's body trembled.
He turned his head with great effort, looking past Mu Qing's brows and looking at Feng Feng Bailian, who should not be in the dirty cell: "Wanghai Palace, can you guarantee that the incense of our Lan family will not be cut off?"
Huyan Siluo, who was wearing a thin white veil, nodded and said softly: "I promise."
The prisoner reached for the pill and looked at it for a few minutes. No one in the cell spoke. It was not until Mu Qingmei became impatient that he gave an address: "...the Lan family's hundreds of years of craftsmanship are all recorded there.
There is a secret book in the basement. There are many special terms in the secret book. Just show it to the craftsmen. If you still don’t understand...just ask the Lan family members who are not dead and are over thirty years old."
After saying that, he couldn't wait to swallow the pill.
Mu Qing's eyebrows flicked, and a ray of light penetrated the prisoner's brain, causing him to lose consciousness before he could even feel the pain.
She turned her head, faced Huyan Suluo's surprised eyes, and spread her hands: "We don't have poison that will kill you if you eat it. It's so easy to use and we have used it for poisoning for a long time. But he died very quickly after taking the medicine.
, the experience is very good, there are no negative reviews, the effect is almost the same, I also paid for manual service.”
Huyan Siluo laughed, stretched out her hand to hold Mu Qingmei and left, whispering: "Thank you for coming to accompany me."
"Oh, why are you being polite to sisters? This is nothing." Mu Qingmei patted her chest proudly and said: "And you have only seen too little of the world, so this kind of thing is nothing. I will take care of you in two days."
You go to see Ming Hong torture prisoners, go to the shooting range to see executions, you have developed all your courage..."
Hu Yansluo's face turned gloomy: "Uncle Lan... He was a good friend of my father when he was a child. He often came to my house as a guest and even customized a car for me to drive in the yard..."
Mu Qing's eyebrows froze and she scratched her head in embarrassment: "Then...should I leave his whole body?"
"I don't mean to blame you. It's his own fault for his current fate." Hu Yansluo rubbed her red eyes and said with a smile: "Although I have never seen the second master torture prisoners, nor have I gone to the shooting range to watch people.
I was shot, but I was never left behind in every public trial these days."
"Being able to die so peacefully is already a great kindness to Uncle Lan. He also knew this, so he didn't even want to eat the last meal and just swallowed the pills."
"It would be unfair to those who have been trampled under their feet for the rest of their lives if they live a despicable and shameless life and die with peace of mind."
Huyan Siluo whispered: "Actually, I should have the same fate as them..."
"Don't be stupid!" Mu Qing's eyebrows slapped Huyan Siluo's butt, and the latter exclaimed, "You are different from the capitalists who can bleed dirty blood from every pore. You are just like us.
partner."
"When you were willing to lie to Mr. Tie that night to protect us, I decided that you were my half-sister!" Mu Qing said with a smile: "Don't think that you are the same as those people.
Compatriots, there is a saying, it’s called, ‘come out of the mire and remain unstained’! Just because they are rotten people does not mean that you are a rotten person!”
"But since I was born, I have eaten delicious food, dressed in brocade silk and satin, been served by servants when I go out, and have enjoyed all kinds of wealth and splendor."
"While I was driving around the yard in the car that Uncle Lan gave me, there were hundreds of children my age outside who were struggling to make ends meet, including you, Qingmei."
"When you were displaced, I slept in a warm and comfortable bed with my mother reading storybooks to me."
"When the second master personally killed your eldest brother, my father and brother celebrated my birthday, and the person who gave me the gift crossed the threshold of my house."
"While you were practicing fighting skills and sweating day and night, I was holding a tea party with other girls of the same age, discussing what clothes look good and what jewelry looks good."
Hu Yansluo said these words very smoothly. It was obvious that she had thought about it many times in the past countless sleepless nights:
"I used to feel at ease with all this because it was the love my parents had for me. But if their love is based on sin and everything I enjoy is based on your pain, then I have nothing to do with them.
What's the difference?"
"Qingmei, your hands are much rougher than mine, because I have never worked. If my father at least contributed to maintaining the stability of Xuanzhu County, then I am a rice bug with no contribution. I have lost all my former glory and wealth.
Not fallen, but now I accept your protection with a shy face——"
Sa!
Mu Qingmei hugged Huyan Suluo. Huyan Siro heard her breath on her earlobe, and the slight itching sensation in her ear instantly stopped all Huyan Siro's words.
"No one is born with original sin, and no one can choose his or her origin."
"Although you don't have those wild beast emotions, I understand. Every time a person reaches a certain point in his life, he will start to hate his weak self."
Huyan Siluo put her arms around Mu Qingmei's waist, lowered her head and leaned on her shoulder, and whispered: "Qingmei, have you ever hated yourself?"
"Of course." Mu Qingmei said: "The first time I hated myself was when Ming Hong came home covered in blood and told me that my elder brother was dead. I beat him badly."
"Actually, I actually hope that he can teach me a lesson. If I hadn't been so young at the time, if my fighting skills had been stronger, if I had followed them... maybe everything could have been saved."
"It's just that Ming Hong was really too weak and didn't fight back. I accidentally almost beat him to death."
"And the second time I hated myself... was that night, when I looked at him from a distance across the ruins of Cape Gate and said to us, 'Protect Yin Yin Yin'."
"The disgust I feel for myself comes from my own incompetence."
"Every time you hate yourself, you grow up."
Mu Qingmei pressed Huyan Siro's shoulders and stared into her eyes: "Congratulations, you have become a dirty adult."
"but……"
"If you really feel guilty, just work hard and contribute to the rebirth of Xuanzhu County." Mu Qing smiled and said: "Don't think that this feeling is embarrassing. You and those who need to go to the public trial will go together.
Compared with others who have suffered, it is the guilt derived from the moral law in your heart that makes Bai Ye willing to believe you."
"Only those who have cried while holding a pillow," she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of Huyansluo's eyes, "can learn what gentleness is."
"If you are really guilty and want to make some compensation...then I will charge you some interest!"
"Ah? Qingmei, please stop making trouble!"
Mu Qingmei turned Huyan Siluo around a few times, buried her head in her arms and rubbed her, giggling as she did so: "Siluo, you are so comfortable to hold - I don't know which beast I will give this good body to in the future.
——It’s better to take advantage of me first!”
"Stop making trouble, put me down, you put me down!" Huyansi Luo shouted angrily: "We're almost at the door!"
Mu Qingmei put Huyan Siluo down, carefully smoothed the wrinkles on her chest, and said seriously:
"Wanghai Palace, you have to pay attention to your manners. If someone outside sees you walking out of the prison disheveled, I'm afraid it might explode the heads of all the witnesses. Then the gossip will spread throughout Xuanzhu County tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow will be about you."
Featured short articles will fill up the newspaper's submission mailbox, so please don't increase my workload..."
Huyan Suluo stared at Mu Qingmei with an annoyed look on her face, but Mu Qingmei looked at her with a silly smile, and soon Huyan Siro herself burst out laughing.
"Thanks."
"Oh, why are you being so polite to a sister? Sister, keep walking forward, don't look back~"
Mu Qingmei suddenly remembered something and smiled: "Speaking of which, what do you think of Ming Hong?"
"Second boss?" Huyan Siluo was stunned and said, "He is a very good, serious, and mature man. Xuanzhu County needs him."
Mu Qing blinked: "Really? Really? Then do you need him?"
Huyan Siluo's eyes flashed, she made a soft sound, tilted her head and thought for a while, then whispered: "I already have someone I like."
"Alas~" Mu Qingmei sighed: "Er Gouzi, Er Gouzi, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I'm powerless. I've tried my best~"
Huyan Siluo covered her mouth and smiled: "But the second master seems to have someone he likes, right? I think he and Medical Officer Wenhong..."
"Well, I actually asked Sister Wen about this, but her answer was quite..." Mu Qingmei thought for a while before spitting out an adjective: "...wonderful."
"What did she say?"
"I asked her what she thought of Minghong, and she said, just treat it like a dog that comes and goes when you call it."
Huyan Siluo blinked: "Ah this..."
"Then she told me that dogs are actually very good. They can guard the house at home, scare people when taken out, like to lick people in bed, and can be neutered if they are disobedient... Anyway, I don't understand what she thinks."
"...it's wonderful."
"Wait a minute!" Mu Qingmei suddenly stared at Huyan Siluo: "Who do you like? Could it be the person whose whereabouts are unknown?"
Huyan Suluo shook her head: "No."
"That's good," Mu Qingmei breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said something of unknown meaning: "I can't be a pillow for two people..."
Immediately she looked at Huyan Siluo with curiosity: "Then who do you like?"
"I won't tell you."
"Isn't he the type who is handsome, good-looking, and has a sweet smile?"
"Hmm~" Huyan Siluo tilted her head and thought for a while: "She is a very narcissistic type."
"The person you like is so strange!" Mu Qing commented with a frown.
