Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In ancient times, executions were usually carried out in autumn and winter, but not in spring or summer, so there was a theory of execution at the end.  Execution places are mostly in busy markets with large crowds, in order to alert the people, and to suppress the yin and evil spirits of the criminals through the yang energy of the crowd. Therefore, the execution time is usually set when the sun is highest in the day.  Noon.  On the third day of the twelfth lunar month, before Yu Xiaoxiu went out to school, Yu Shu hung the house key around his neck, stuffed a dime of silver into him, and told him to come back in the afternoon and have dinner outside. She and Jing Chen had to come back later after going out.  Yu Xiaoxiu was sensible and knew that the two of them were going to see the beheading. Seeing that Yu Shu had no intention of taking him with him, he didn't make any fuss about going, and went out as if he was studying hard and making progress every day.  Yu Shu took advantage of the fact that it was still early and cooked all the three kilograms of eggs he bought yesterday. The tea eggs on the street cost fifteen cents each. They were bland and tasteless. She tasted a little salty, so she made them according to her preference.  Boil it, it won¡¯t go bad in this winter, you can eat it for breakfast in the morning, and you can peel one when you are hungry.  The pot was simmering on the fire. Yu Shu washed his hands and went to Jingchen's room to change the dressing on his hands. The wound had been growing for almost a month, and the blood scab had not completely fallen off. When he took off the gauze, he could see that there were horizontal bruises on his four finger joints.  One, one across the palm, looked like two long worms crawling on it, which made Yu Shu's brows knot up.  Jing Chen tried to shake his hands and felt that there was no problem, so he discussed with Yu Shu: "It doesn't hurt or itch, so there's no need to apply any more medicine, right?" Yu Shu: "It's okay if you don't put any medicine on your hands, then tomorrow  I'll switch to drinking the medicine from now on." Jing Chen obediently extended his right hand to her. Rather than drinking the medicine into his stomach, it would be better to apply it on his hand.  After the medicine was changed and the tea and eggs were cooked, the two of them tidied up. Yu Shu packed a few hot tea eggs, slung a small bag across his body, locked the door and went out with Jing Chen.  Since coming to the capital, Jing Chen has almost never gone out during the day. It just so happens that the place he is going to today is the Changchun Street where the two of them went when it rained not long ago.  Therefore, Yu Shu did not let him wear the distinctive bamboo hat, because he was afraid that the Ji family would not give up and would still look for them secretly. Anyway, she was traveling with him, so she was not afraid of him coming into contact with others. With the yellow frost stone on her body, Yu Shu  Especially down to earth.  "Here, try what I made. Is it as delicious as the one sold at Sun Er's shop?" Yu Shu peeled off a tea egg and handed it to Jing Chen, then casually threw the egg skin on the roadside. Don't blame her for being uncivilized.  In ancient times, there were no trash cans on the roadside, and there were no aunts and uncles patrolling the streets with armbands. Littering and spitting were not punishable by fines.  Jing Chen took it and tasted it. After eating, he commented: "It's a little salty." "Salty?" Yu Shu peeled off another one and took a bite, frowning secretly that it was indeed salty. She knew that she had put two more spoons of salt, but  He even said shamelessly: "Tea eggs are always delicious if they are salty." "Oh." Jing Chen never argued with Yu Shu. Basically, what she said was what she said. The two of them didn't take a ride and walked through Qiu Guifang.  , Yu Shu led Jing Chen into a cloth shop in the alley where she often bought clothes. After picking through the pile of cloth on the counter for a long time, he finally settled on a color, drew on it, and only asked the shopkeeper to cut out a small piece.  Jing Chen stood beside her, quietly looking at the furnishings in the shop without saying anything.  The shopkeeper recognized her as a regular customer, and when he saw that she wanted such a small piece of fabric, he kindly said that he would give it to her. Yu Shu did not give in, and even asked for a fine needle.  The two of them left the cloth shop, and Yu Shu turned to ask Jing Chen, "Why didn't you ask me what I wanted such a small piece of cloth for?" Jing Chen then asked, "What is it for?" "I won't tell you." "  " Jing Chen was often teased by her, and as he got used to it, he slowly discovered that the more he argued with her, the more energetic she became, and it was best not to argue with her.  Seeing that he didn't ask further questions, Yu Shu lost interest, touched his nose angrily, and took the initiative to reach out and gesture: "I plan to sew a small bag, sew the yellow frost stone in, and make an amulet to wear with me so as not to lose it again.  " "Yeah," Jing Chen nodded, "That's good." The two of them kept company all the way from the south of the city to Qianyuan Street. Before noon, Yu Shu ate three salted eggs on the way and was already thirsty, so he and I walked together.  Jingchen found a restaurant, went up to the second floor and sat by the window. He only ordered a sweet winter melon soup and a plate of peanuts soaked in vinegar.  The execution ground was set up at the intersection of the street, where people were coming and going. Yu Shu opened the window and looked outside, and said to Jing Chen: "Did you see it? It's the platform set up at the other end. Let's just sit here and watch.  There¡¯s no need to go down and squeeze in with others.¡± Not long after he finished speaking, a group of officers and soldiers escorted prison cars passing by on the street downstairs. Inside the seven or eight prison cars were all death row inmates, all of them unkempt, with their hands shackled, and their heads hanging down in half-dead state.  "Evil man, murderer, smash him, smash them!"I don¡¯t know who was the leader, and the people on both sides of the street suddenly became excited. They had baskets of rotten vegetable leaves in their hands and threw them at the prison cart. The prisoners were hit all over their heads and faces, and they were so embarrassed that they had nowhere to hide.  , the officials did not stop them, they would only scold someone when they came too close.  Yu Shu searched for a long time before he identified which car Huan Biao and Bi Qing were in. He quickly pointed it out to Jing Chen and whispered: "Look there, the bearded one in front is Qiu Biao, and the one in the back is Qiu Biao."  Bi Qing has a head full of rotten eggs. "It was three months since he escaped from the boat. Jing Chen saw the two of them again. The hatred had faded at first, but when he thought of the killer who attacked Yu Shu in front of his house that night, he  He couldn't help but frown, feeling that they deserved to die.  The prisoners were escorted to the execution platform one by one. More and more people gathered on the street. There were also many lottery watchers in the restaurant, and they all gathered in front of the window.  As soon as noon came, the drums were beaten three times, and several executioners with big muscles and round waists came forward with knives, removed the death card from the prisoner's back, and raised the beheading knife with countless blades in their hands, just waiting for an order.  Yu Shu's eyes widened, fearing that he would close his eyes in fear later. Thinking of the bloody scene he was about to see, his palms became nervous and sweaty. In fact, she was not very courageous, and she was especially afraid of death. Not only  Afraid of his own death and afraid of seeing others die.  She had lived for decades in her previous life, and had always been unwilling to take revenge. However, this was the first time she had taken revenge on someone to death. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In addition to relieving oneself, there is always a little bit of fear in my heart. This is human nature. If you don't have this kind of fear, then you are truly cold-blooded and ruthless.  Seeing her like this, Jing Chen moved his lips, wanting to say something, but the executioner sitting on the execution platform at the other end of the execution platform had already thrown down the stick - "It's time for execution, execution!" As the sword rose and fell, Yu Shu  Her vision suddenly dimmed. She held her breath and tried to push away the palm in front of her. However, when she raised her hand halfway, it fell back again. There was a moment of silence on the street, and then a buzzing sound reached her ears.  There, her throat was dry, she took a breath and asked Jing, "Has it been chopped off?" Jing Chen put a hand in front of her, looking at the bloody ground on the execution platform in the distance: "Yes." After Yu Shu was silent, he pulled  Taking off Jingchen's hand, he turned around and sat back down without taking a second look at the street. He patted the table and called the waiter: "Get a pot of wine and a plate of lung slices. The spicier the better." When the food and wine were served, Yu Shu took the lead.  She took a mouthful of the mixed red beef tongue and took another sip of wine. It was spicy and spicy, and heat rushed to her forehead. She felt relieved immediately. She looked up and saw Jing Chen looking at her without blinking, with obvious worry on his face, so he raised his hand.  Holding the wine bottle, he tilted his oily mouth and smiled at him: "Come, have a drink with me, and I won't blame you for covering my eyes just now." Jing Chen picked up the empty cup and handed it to her, and Yu Shu gave it to her.  He filled it, poured himself another glass, clinked it with him, thought for a while, and then said: "I wish you both good luck and good luck!" "Well, good luck to you both." Jing Chen also followed her example and touched her.  He drank the cup.  Yu Shu drank it all in one gulp, while Jing Chen drank slowly, but also finished the cup in one gulp. Yu Shu looked at his empty cup with satisfaction, and then drank and ate the plate of spicy lung slices without giving any more  He poured a glass.  She has a good capacity for drinking, so it¡¯s okay to have a few more drinks. However, Jing Chen doesn¡¯t drink, so he can enjoy himself with just one drink. After all, he has business to do in the evening.  After watching the beheading, Yu Shu and Jing Chen moved to a teahouse, found a seat in a corner, listened to the storyteller on the table in the center of the building telling jokes about rivers and lakes, and ordered a pot of tea to relieve the hangover.  " Let's talk about the young lady whom Prince Xiang met on the boat earlier. She is actually the precious daughter of Wen Huaqun, a wealthy businessman in Guangdong who claims to own hundreds of ships. She was given the nickname "Guo Qianfan" as a gift. Wen Suisui.  When we met on the boat that day, Wen Suisui was attracted by Prince Xiang's handsome appearance and felt a little admiration for him. However, when we saw each other again in such a scene, we were still not in love with each other. Prince Xiang was also a charming person and had a sweet temperament.  She is infatuated with Wen Suisui, even though she already has a beautiful wife in her family, her heart cannot help but be moved. "The storyteller told it well. As Yu Shu listened, he could sense something interesting, Prince Xiang?"  Isn't this the prince Liu Jiong's father?  The story I co-authored is not about textual gossip, but about the romantic affairs of a prince. No wonder everyone in the teahouse listened with gusto.  ¡°It¡¯s just a prince, a relative of the emperor and the country, and his personal affairs are fabricated and spread, but no one cares. It¡¯s really embarrassing.  Yu Shu didn¡¯t like to hear the prince¡¯s jokes about picking up girls, and he was also afraid that Jing Chen would become a bad person after hearing it, so after drinking the tea, he pulled him away.  "Where are we going now?" Jing Chen followed Yu Shu aimlessly, not afraid of being betrayed by her.  "South of the city, Peiren Pavilion." Yu Shu reported a place name and felt that he had passed byIt was too far to go, so he hired two sedan chairs in the south of Kunyuan Street. Jing Chen didn't want to sit on them at first, saying he wanted her to sit alone in the sedan chair, so he followed, but in the end, Yu Shu pushed her onto the sedan chair.  Sitting in the closed sedan, with no one talking, Yu Shu, still drunk, staggered against the window and dozed off. He didn't take a nap until the sedan door was lifted and the cold wind hit his neck.  Haha open your eyes.  "Master, the training hall is here." (Guozi came back late today, the update is late, sorry)
