The first volume of pearl curtains rolls up the western mountain rain at dusk Chapter 33 You Choose
Li Diudiu felt that this was a really clichéd plot, where a good person was thrown into prison and bullied by the bad guys in prison. He was either beaten to death or beaten half to death.
His master had talked to him about this kind of thing before. His master said that there are generally three types of people in prison who are not easy to deal with. The first type is those who are in collusion with the prison bosses and jailers. They are lackeys who bully others by taking advantage of their power.
One type is the death row prisoner, who is not far from death. After all, he is going to die, so there is nothing to be afraid of, so this kind of person is not easy to mess with.
Another type is the old foxes in prison. These people treat the prison as their home. Although they may not have powerful backers or abilities, they can get along well.
The toad-like man in front of Li Diudiu is one of them. His name is Lai Mazi. It is said that he had an unknown disease when he was a child. He was lucky enough to survive, but his face was left with pockmarks.
This person is a death row prisoner and will probably be executed in the autumn. When he came in, no one dared to mess with him because they said he had wiped out an entire family. People in prison will not bully such a thug or gangster, otherwise they might kill him.
After being locked up in prison for nearly half a year, this pockmarked guy has become a bully here. No one dares to mess with him, but he dares to mess with others. He will beat up anyone he doesn't like. Anyway, it's either he kills someone or he gets beaten to death. He doesn't care.
Li Diudiu was looking at him, and he was also looking at Li Diudiu.
Li Diudiu thought , this person is so ugly.
Lai Mazi thought, this person is so small, he must be thinking I am ugly.
Li Diudiu thought he must be thinking that I was very young.
Lai Mazi dared not disobey the orders of the head constable Li Changxing. He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid of a life worse than death. Li Changxing had ten thousand ways to torture him. If he was obedient, Li Changxing would even bring back some benefits for him. In this place, a roast chicken was a peerless delicacy.
But he was a little embarrassed about the task assigned to him by Li Changxing today. How old was the child in front of him, about ten years old?
Even if a boy of 17 or 18 stood in front of him, he would not hesitate to attack him, but a child...
"Why did you come in?"
Lai Mazi asked Li Diudiu.
Li Diudiu said: "Because I saved people."
Lai Mazi frowned slightly, and after a moment asked, "Who did you save?"
Li Diudiu said: "My friend."
Lai Mazi said: "That's not bad, it's not too unfair."
Li Diudiu asked: "Why?"
Lai Mazi said: "If you saved someone who was not related to you at all, then it would be a bit unfair. You saved your friend, and you must be willing to save him."
Li Diudiu thought about it and thought to himself what kind of heresy this was.
"You were arranged by the government to deal with me, right?"
Li Diudiu raised his head, looked into Lai Mazi's eyes and asked seriously: "If so, can you tell me how they plan to torture me so that I can be prepared in advance."
Lai Mazi said, "It has to be done anyway, so it doesn't hurt to tell you first... The above means that I should break your limbs and smash your mouth, so that you can't say anything or write anything you want."
Li Diudiu said: "That's good, I thought they were going to beat me to death."
Lai Mazi looked at Li Diudiu like he was a monster and said, "Do you think being beaten like that is better than being dead?"
Li Diudiu nodded: "Being alive is better than being dead."
Lai Mazi shook his head: "Then you really haven't experienced it, you don't know what it means to be worse off than dead."
He looked Li Diudiu up and down, and said with some embarrassment: "You decide for yourself. Do you want me to smash your mouth first, or break your limbs first?"
Li Diudiu said: "I think you are an okay person."
Lai Mazi was startled: "What do you mean by that?"
Li Diudiu said: "If you are really a wicked person, you shouldn't talk to me about this. You can just come up and fight me. Why waste your time talking?"
Lai Mazi shook his head: "You know shit."
He stepped back a few steps, looked at the other prisoners in the cell and ordered: "Go ahead, break his limbs first, so that he can scream a few more times. The adults will be happy to hear it."
There are seven or eight people in this prison, the oldest are in their fifties or sixties, the youngest are seventeen or eighteen years old, each of them looks like a ghost, not seeing the sun for many years makes their skin look pale, and their bodies are dirty. They look pale and dirty like corpses that have just crawled out of the ground.
Seven or eight people gathered around Li Diudiu. The oldest one muttered as he walked over, "Don't blame us, little guy. We have to stay alive too. I told them to act as quickly as possible."
"Stop talking nonsense, just finish it quickly, or you'll get scolded later."
"You go first."
"Why the hell don't you go first?"
"It's just breaking some limbs, it's nothing , go ahead."
A group of people surrounded Li Diudiu while talking. Li Diudiu had retreated to the corner of the cell. In this dead end, it seemed that he had reached the end of the road.
Lai Mazi sat down behind the crowd and didn't want to watch.
There will be a bloody scene in a moment. A child of about ten years old will be beaten to death by those people, with his arms and legs broken and most of his bones exposed. If he is not treated, he may not live long and will die of pain or exhaustion.
Lai Mazi sat there, looking at the ground, muttering a few words over and over again.
Namo Amitabha.
Many people in the State of Chu believed in Zen Buddhism, which was introduced from the Western Regions. The Sanskrit is complex and obscure, and the common people probably only know this sentence.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Li Diudiu, who was trapped in the corner, suddenly shouted, and the people who were about to take action stopped, as if they were showing Li Diudiu their last mercy.
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
one of the prisoners asked.
Li Diudiu said seriously, "Can you take care of yourselves? You must be very uncomfortable being locked up in this dark place. If you get hurt, the physical pain is better, but the psychological pain is definitely unbearable. So many people beat up a child, and the child beat you to the point of incontinence. How shameful."
The young prisoner, who was about 17 or 18 years old, had a fierce look in his eyes. He separated the people in front of him and kicked Li Diudiu in the chest: "You are looking for death!"
Li Diudiu turned sideways and kicked the wall with great force. The young prisoner's ankle made a crisp cracking sound, which should have been heard by everyone.
The young prisoner's vicious kick crippled his own foot.
Li Diudiu kicked the young prisoner on his supporting leg, and the young prisoner fell to the ground. Li Diudiu stomped on the young prisoner's neck again, ferociously like a child.
The young prisoner made a gurgling sound in his throat, his eyes rolled up, and his body twitched. It seemed that he would not be able to get up for a while.
"I forgot to tell you."
Li Diudiu glanced at the prisoners and said word by word: "I am indeed young, and I did come in to rescue someone, but I killed two people when I was rescuing them, two constables."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the people who had just gathered around subconsciously stepped back.
Li Diudiu tidied his clothes, but still did not leave the corner. Only then did some of the prisoners react. Li Diudiu retreated to the corner not because he was afraid, but because the blind spot in the eyes of others was actually more conducive to defense.
Leaning against the corner, he only needs to deal with the enemies in front of him without worrying about his back.
"I killed people because I had no choice. Does that mean I didn't have to kill you?"
Li Diudiu said: "If you think what I said is unbelievable, you can come up and try it."
"Don't believe him!"
The old prisoner shouted, "No matter what, he is still a child. He doesn't have enough strength to beat us. Let's go together and see how many punches and kicks he can block!"
"Yes, he doesn't have the strength to keep up."
A group of people were talking, but no one was the first to rush forward.
Li Diudiu sighed, "I don't have enough energy... If you knew how much I eat in one meal, you would definitely not say this."
"Get out of the way!"
Lai Mazi stood up, strode to Li Diudiu, and stared at Li Diudiu's eyes with a vicious look.
"I underestimated you. I thought you were a harmless child, but I didn't expect you to be such a ruthless character. If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about."
Lai Mazi punched Li Diudiu in the face with his left hand. Li Diudiu dodged to the right, but Lai Mazi was actually quite skilled in martial arts. His left punch was a feint. While Li Diudiu dodged to the right, Lai Mazi punched Li Diudiu in the face with his right fist.
But his movements seemed to be within Li Diudiu's judgment. Li Diudiu dodged to the right in order to attract Lai Mazi's right fist to attack.
After that punch came out, Li Diudiu immediately crouched down, and took a horse stance, attacking Lai Mazi's crotch with more than ten consecutive punches. These dozen punches took only two breaths. For a man of his age, more than ten punches in two breaths was rare.
These dozen punches hit the same part of the body, and Lai Mazi's face turned into a bitter gourd. Li Diudiu moved aside, and Lai Mazi fell to the ground with a thud. He curled up and screamed in pain.
Li Diudiu looked at Lai Mazi's painful expression and said, "I have tried it many times myself, but I still find it hard to understand what the direct connection is between a person's balls and face. Why does the face become distorted like this when the balls hurt? Later I thought, why do people call the face a face egg? In fact, it's not a face egg, maybe it's a connected egg. It seems that the ancients had already made such an inference."
The reason he could still talk nonsense here was that after Lai Mazi fell down, the remaining six people all retreated.
Most of these people who have been imprisoned for a long time are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong, otherwise they would not be intimidated by Lai Mazi alone.
The two most ferocious men in the cell have already fallen, and the rest of them used to be bullies, so no one dares to take action again.
Li Diudiu pointed at the older prisoner and said, "Break his arm now. He is locked up in a cell at his age, and he is still encouraging others to go up. He must be a bad guy... If you break his arm, I won't break yours."
The older one stepped back and said, "Don't listen to the nonsense of a kid like him. This kid is very bad."
Li Diudiu shrugged and said, "I will definitely die because I killed the constable, but before I die, I can kill all of you. I only have one life anyway... Before I die, can I still let myself be bullied?"
He finally left the corner because he knew he had the situation under control.
Li Diudiu raised his finger and pointed at the old prisoner's face: "Hit him or hit me, it's your choice."
Li Diudiu thought this was a really clichéd plot. Fortunately, I am not a good person, otherwise I would have been bullied to death by you guys.
