Chapter 2409 Ancient Nursery Rhymes
The big iron factory, the prison cell.
This cell has a history of nearly a hundred years. It was established together almost on the first day of the birth of the big iron factory. For the past hundred years, an unknown number of workers have been imprisoned here, tortured and killed. A victim, to maintain the high-handed rule of the immortal cultivators.
The black steel torture tools were covered with mottled bloodstains and suspicious liquids. Although the color was so dim that it was almost invisible, there was still a strong bloody smell lingering. It was the unjust soul who had been trapped here for a hundred years and was moaning softly.
At this moment, the prison cell is like a rotten can, filled with hundreds of people, all of them are covered with cuts and bruises, bleeding from the seven orifices, foaming at the mouth, and limp on the ground like mud, if not for the weak breathing in the chest, they are almost the same as the dead .
They are the backbone of the Wuyou Sect riot.
Xu Zhicheng curled up in a corner holding a mass of rusty shackles, his chest was almost solidified, as if a heavy boulder weighed on him.
In the wide-open eyes, there is still the last trace of spirit, which blooms stubbornly and refuses to go out for a long time.
"Brother Zhicheng"
Next to him was a short, stout man like a stone pier who was slightly injured than him. While taking care of him, he said in a low voice, "Lao Meng and Shi Shi didn't make it through. They were carried away by the cultivators just now. In this battle, we have completely lost!"
Xu Zhicheng stared at the cobweb-like crack above the cell. The crack was reflected in the depths of his eyes, slowly blooming like two flowers. He didn't seem to hear what his companion said. After a while, he said: "Fourth, I just squinted. After a while, guess who I dreamed about?"
The short and stout man "Fourth" was startled slightly, and said, "Did you dream about Xiaobao and Xiaoqi?"
"No, those two boys in my family, as long as they open their eyelids, they always flash in front of my eyes, how can they meet each other in a dream?"
Xu Zhicheng grinned and said with a difficult smile, "I dreamed about your father."
"What the hell?" Shidun was stunned.
"I dreamed of your father and my father. Aren't they two brothers who worship?"
Xu Zhicheng said weakly, "Fourth, do you remember a long, long time ago, when we were two children, when those two old guys were still there, we were two real leathers at that time, the boss stole chickens, the west touched dogs, and the factory The leather thongs and steel balls in the house were used to make slingshots, and they were used to beat big girls’ butts, whoever was dressed fancy, and was sued at home once, but your father and my father teamed up to arrest us, of course we two Run, ran to several factories, crawled up and down the pipes, and was finally blocked by them. It was a good beating. The beating was so dark that the ass almost disappeared.
"The two old guys were tired, so they sat together and drank with a smile on their faces. The two of us lay on the ground and grinned and rubbed our buttocks. We couldn't even sit down, we couldn't even cry, remember?"
The "fourth" man in Shidun was stunned for a long time, every wrinkle on his face became vivid, and he said with a dumbfounded smile: "I remember, I remember, can I forget this? When I think about it now, my butt still hurts!" "
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xu Zhicheng smiled and said, "But, after the two old guys cleaned us up, the next day, another person gave us a carefully polished large slingshot, with slide rails and aiming. After a while, all the children in the factory will have better slingshots, a hundred times better, and we will not be allowed to hit people and windows with slingshots in the future, and only let us go to the abandoned mines around the big iron factory to shoot 'diggers'."
"There is such a thing!"
The "fourth" man from Shidun smiled brighter, "I'm not as good as you when it comes to beating a big girl's ass, but when it comes to beating 'dihuzi', Brother Zhicheng, you are far from my opponent!"
"Yes, when you don't come back with dozens of 'ground tigers', take a bunch of wires and roast them on the fire. It’s really incomparable!”
Xu Zhicheng closed his eyes slightly, with crystals flickering in the corners of his eyes, "Fourth brother, do you still remember where your slingshot went?"
The "fourth" man in Shidun shook his head: "It's been too many years, so who remembers it!"
"Yeah, I lost my slingshot too."
Xu Zhicheng licked his chapped lips, recalling the taste, "But I will never forget the taste of skewered 'dihuzi' in my life, that oil, I really want to eat it again, but it's a pity that it's been so old for decades. The ironworks has expanded more than ten times in its surroundings, and all the mines and tunnels have been raided, and it’s been a long time since we’ve found a ‘dihuzi’, right?”
"That's right."
The "fourth child" of the Shidun man said, "Children nowadays have no food, and they have lived for decades without even eating 'dihuzi'. Really...then what, brother Zhicheng..."
The fourth child was not sure what Xu Zhicheng meant.
After talking about his father, the slingshot and the "earth tiger", Xu Zhicheng, the chief protector of Wuyou Teaching, fell silent for a long time, coughed a few times, and said, "Fourth, talk from the bottom of your heart, and follow Brother Zhicheng to this road." Lu, do you regret it?"
The "fourth" Shidun man did not hesitate, shaking his head like a rattle: "I don't regret it, I have never regretted it! In the hands of this gang of goddamn cultivators, life is really impossible, and it is death. If you don't fight, you will die, at least we have pulled so many immortal cultivators back!
"The fourth child has lived his entire life, but he never thought that before he died, he would be able to be a cultivator as fast as he can, it is worth dying a hundred times!
"Brother Zhicheng, I know what you're thinking, just put your mind at ease, everyone has expected this result a long time ago, and none of the brothers will blame you, even if the time starts all over again, brother They will still work with you, kill the immortal cultivator!"
Xu Zhicheng laughed: "Well said, kill the immortal cultivator! I know that no one will regret this matter, and I have never regretted it, but I am talking about another matter about Wuyoujiao, you regret it Did you set up a worry-free education with me?"
The Shidun man's "fourth" nonchalant smile froze, hesitated for a long time, and reluctantly said: "Well, there is nothing to regret, we have done everything, and under the circumstances at that time, we had no other way to go. If the opportunity comes, you have to seize it. If you don't seize it, you will live another five hundred years and you will be trampled under your feet like mud!
"No regrets, no regrets!"
"But I have some regrets, no, it should be said that I am afraid."
The cracks in Xu Zhicheng's eyes turned into flickering ripples, and he murmured, "I seem to have slept for a long, long time, but I didn't have half a dream, not even a nightmare, until now when I wake up, I can feel it out." afraid to come.
"I haven't thought of my father and mother for a long, long time.
"It's been a long, long time since I thought about those things when I was a child. It's strange. When we were young, we obviously had such a hard life. We had nothing to eat, nothing to play, and we had to go to the factory to help adults with work every day. But now that I think about it, it's hard. I don’t remember being tired or tired, I only remember happy things.
"There are also my two boys, those two little guys who are as good as we were when we were young, I thought "Wangyoujue" could help me completely forget the pain of losing them, but the pain of losing them has not been forgotten, on the contrary I almost forgot all about the happy times when I was with them.
"Fortunately, at the moment when I was about to completely forget, someone woke me up in time, and woke up all of us. It was really dangerous. It was only a little bit, just a little bit, and we were all going to forget it. How to make a slingshot and how to hit the 'digger' has forgotten the fourth child, you haven't forgotten, have you?"
"No, even if it happened decades ago, I still remember it clearly."
The "fourth" of the Shidun man beamed with joy, "Brother Zhicheng, you don't understand this. Hitting the 'dihuzi' is not just based on eyesight and hearing. There is also a trick that I haven't passed on for decades. Today, I'll tell you today!"
The fourth child leaned into Xu Zhicheng's ear, whispered for a while, Xu Zhicheng's eyes widened as he heard it, and he suddenly realized: "Okay, I really have your fourth child, you are too bad, you are too bad!"
The two old men who were over half a century old laughed loudly at the same time, laughing so much that the other prisoners in the cell were puzzled.
"Fourth"
Xu Zhicheng laughed for a long time, with turbid tears streaming down his face, and asked again, "Your daughter and grandson have escaped, have you heard of them?"
"Well, they all escaped. There is no news about them, so they should not be caught by the immortal cultivators."
The "fourth" man from Shidun said, "No news is the best news these days. We have stayed here for so long, and it should be enough for them to escape to the depths of the ground, where cultivators don't bother to arrest them." After that, let's see their good fortune!"
"That's good, that's good, don't worry, people, it's not easy to live, but as long as you grit your teeth, it's not so easy to die. Our ancestors can persist in the ground for ten thousand years, maybe Those kids will last another ten thousand years, who knows?"
Xu Zhicheng sighed and said, "Fourth, we haven't forgotten our father and the good old days, and your children have escaped safely, so who said we lost this battle? According to me Said, we won, at least our children will no longer be enslaved and tortured by the big iron factory, right?"
The "fourth" boy from Shidun was stunned for a moment, took a selfie on his thigh, and grinned loudly: "That's right, Brother Zhicheng is right, we won, and our children will never be enslaved by a big iron factory, or by immortal cultivators." torture!"
Xu Zhicheng got the answer he wanted to hear, closed his eyes contentedly, and sang something indistinctly.
The younger workers didn't know what he was singing. Only the "fourth" generation of Shidun man, after listening to it for a long time, vaguely remembered that the melody seemed to be from a long, long time ago. The nursery rhymes their parents used to hum to them.
The lyrics have long been lost in the long river of time, but the familiar melody is still deeply buried in everyone's heart.
"Wow!"
The door of the black iron cell was roughly opened, and a cold voice broke in: "Everyone, come out!"
Responding to this voice was an ancient nursery rhyme echoed by countless people.
