Chapter 657: It Doesn’t Feel Like Being in Prison, but More Like Being a Guest
Tuobayu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face, and he couldn't help but complain softly: "Oh, you are just kidding!" But looking at Xi Yu's calm look, he could only sigh helplessly.
In the dark and damp cell, Tuobayu huddled in the corner, looking a little flustered.
A jailer wandered up to Tuobayu's cell, looked at her up and down with a pair of sneaky eyes, raised a malicious smile at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Hey, little beauty, you are really beautiful. ah."
Tuobayu raised his head, his eyes full of horror and disgust, biting his lips tightly.
"Don't come over here!"
The jailer didn't pay any attention to her warning. Instead, he became more wanton and said with a lewd smile: "If you listen to me obediently, I can make you suffer less, hehe."
As he spoke, he reached into the cell and tried to touch Tuobayu's face.
Tuobayu tried his best to hide back, his voice trembling.
"Go away! You bastard!"
However, the jailer refused to give up and continued to say with a playful smile: "Don't be so cruel, beauty. As long as you obey me, I will make sure you live a more comfortable life in this cell from now on."
Tuobayu glared at the jailer, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm warning you, if you offend me, the consequences will be disastrous. I hope you can think clearly."
The jailer was so cowardly that not only did he not listen, but he boldly opened the door and entered the cell. He stretched out his dirty hands and was about to touch Tuobayu's face.
However, Tuoba Yu had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed his hand in an instant. She held the jailer's wrist tightly, her eyes full of coldness.
"Hmph, you ignorant thing, do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Tuobayu said coldly, and then exerted force on his hand.
The jailer then realized that Tuobayu was good at kung fu. His face instantly turned pale, and he tried to break free but couldn't.
"Ouch, ouch!" the jailer screamed in pain, and the scream soon attracted other jailers to come over.
Tuobayu let go of the jailer's hand, stood up, glanced at the jailers surrounding him, and said sternly: "You all get out of here, or I will kill this jailer!"
The jailers looked at each other and looked at Tuobayu's fierce appearance. They were a little afraid for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, they hurriedly left the cell.
Xi Yu, who was in another cell, naturally heard the miserable screams. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
He thought secretly in his heart: "Huh, this jailer deserves it. He dares to molest Tuoyu Yu. He really doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth. Is this not asking for death? Tuoyu Yu is not a master who is easy to mess with. He will be the one to suffer better now. ”
Xi Yu shook his head, his face full of mockery.
He leaned against the wall of the cell, listening to the silence outside. He sneered at the jailer's stupid behavior, and at the same time felt a little admiration for Tuobayu's decisiveness and advantage.
After all, in such a harsh environment, being able to deal with those with evil intentions so boldly is not something that ordinary women can do.
The jailer huddled on the ground, his face full of fear and pain, and kept begging for mercy: "Auntie, please spare me, I was wrong, I was really wrong, please forgive me!"
Tuobayu's eyes were cold and showed no mercy at all. He snorted coldly: "You want me to forgive you? You think so! You must pay the price for your actions!"
After saying that, Tuobayu didn't give the jailer a chance to breathe and continued to punch and kick him.
The jailer was unable to fight back under Tuobayu's attack and could only scream in agony.
After a while, the jailer's body lay heavily on the ground, like a dead dog.
Tuobayu clapped his hands, looked at the jailer who was unable to move on the ground, and said coldly: "Huh, don't even think about moving around in the past few days. This is the price you deserve. I didn't kill you." Consider me merciful!"
At this time, the jailer's face was covered with bruises and the corners of his mouth were still bloodshot. He could only groan and express his pain and regret.
The jailers stood outside the prison, their faces full of surprise and uncertainty.
"What on earth is going on? That scream just now..." a jailer said with a frown.
"Yeah, I'm also confused. This woman is so powerful. We really underestimated her before." Another jailer agreed, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Who would have thought that looking at such a soft and weak woman, she would act so cruelly."
"Oh, we have to be careful in the future and don't provoke her again, otherwise we will be the unlucky ones."
"Yes, yes, it's better to stay away from her. It's really unexpected..."
While they were talking in low voices, they looked in the direction of Tuobayu's cell with lingering fear, as if what was locked there was not a person, but a beast that could pounce out and hurt people at any time.
But Xi Yu in the cell suddenly became quiet at this time.
He leaned against the wall of the cell, his eyes slightly absent-minded, and his thoughts gradually drifted away.
He once again thought of the days when he and Cao Cao worked together, those years of fighting and intrigue.
Cao Pi's gloomy face flashed through his mind, as well as Yuan Shao, the once arrogant overlord, and Yuan Shu, and all the past between them flooded into his mind.
Xi Yu's eyes became a little blurred, as if he was immersed in memories. These people and things were constantly intertwined and emerging in front of his eyes, making him feel that everything he was experiencing was like an illusory dream.
In this dark cell, he seemed to be reconnected with the past. The people and scenes in his memory were so clear, but with a hint of unspeakable melancholy and emotion.
On the other side, Ouyang Linlin was sitting at the table, her eyebrows furrowed, one hand unconsciously twisting the corner of her clothes, a look of worry on her face.
"Xiaohong, I always feel panicked in my heart. Is something going to happen to my husband?"
Xiaohong on the side quickly stepped forward, gently held Ouyang Linlin's hand, smiled and comforted: "Oh, miss, don't think too much, it must be your wild thoughts. Mr. Xiyu is so powerful, how could this happen? Something could happen easily."
Ouyang Linlin bit her lip, still a little worried, "But I just can't calm down. I always feel that something bad has happened."
Her eyes were full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Xiaohong said patiently: "Miss, you care too much about Mr. Xiyu, that's why you are so suspicious. Maybe Mr. Xiyu is fine now, so don't scare yourself."
As she said that, Xiaohong winked at Ouyang Linlin mischievously.
Ouyang Linlin sighed and forced a smile, "Maybe I really thought too much." But there was still a faint worry in her eyes.
Ouyang Linlin stood in the courtyard of the temple, looking at the soldiers around her, her brows slightly wrinkled, with a trace of uneasiness on her face.
At this time, a monk walked past them, looking calm as if nothing had happened, and sweeping the ground with a broom in his hand.
Ouyang Linlin couldn't help but stepped forward and asked: "Master, it's like this outside, how can you still live your daily life so calmly?"
The monk smiled slightly, clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha, donor, everything in the world has its destiny. We just need to keep a normal mind." After saying that, he continued to clean up.
Ouyang Linlin looked at the monk's retreating back, thoughtfully, then sighed and said to Xiaohong: "That's it, then we have to live here with peace of mind."
There was a hint of helplessness in her eyes, but she gradually calmed down.
Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong returned to the room and sat opposite each other.
Ouyang Linlin gently held her chin and said with some thoughts in her eyes: "Xiaohong, how long do you think we have to stay here?"
Xiaohong shook her head and replied: "Miss, I don't know either, but looking at the current situation, I probably won't be able to leave for a while."
Ouyang Linlin sighed slightly, "Oh, I don't know how my husband is doing now. I'm always in a state of anxiety."
Her brows wrinkled again unconsciously, with a worried look on her face.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in." Ouyang Linlin shouted.
A young monk pushed open the door and entered, clasping his hands and saying: "Female donor, the meal is ready. Please come to the dining hall to eat."
Ouyang Linlin nodded, stood up, and said to Xiaohong: "Let's go and eat first. No matter what, we still have to live our lives."
She tried her best to smile, and she and Xiaohong followed the little monk to the dining hall.
Along the way, Ouyang Linlin seemed a little worried, but she still tried her best to maintain a superficial calm.
In the dining hall, Ouyang Linlin ate her food in silence, occasionally looking at the monks who were still living peacefully around her, and she couldn't help but sigh at their indifference and detachment.
She secretly thought that maybe she should learn to stay calm and calm in difficult situations like them.
Recently, they have been eating together as a group instead of bringing food to the room.
At this time, Song Shuwen also came over to eat.
Song Shuwen sat at the table, his eyebrows furrowed, his face full of sorrow, and he knocked on the table unconsciously with one hand.
Ouyang Linlin walked to him lightly and asked softly: "Husband, why are you so worried?" Her eyes were full of concern and she tilted her head slightly to look at Song Shuwen.
Song Shuwen sighed, frowned even more tightly, and said in a worried tone: "The Prime Minister has been away for several days. I have been in a state of anxiety, and I don't know what happened." His eyes were filled with worry. It's worry and uneasiness.
Ouyang Linlin stretched out her hand and gently put it on Song Shuwen's shoulder. With a gentle smile on her face, she comforted softly: "Doctor Song, don't worry too much. Nothing will happen."
Her eyes were firm and bright, as if conveying confidence to Song Shuwen.
On the other side, where Xi Yu was, the magistrate had his head hanging down and a grimace on his face. He was tightly grabbed by the arm by the angry magistrate's wife and staggered all the way back to the backyard.
As soon as they entered the backyard, the county magistrate's wife raised her eyebrows and had an angry look on her face. She started punching and kicking the magistrate involuntarily. While beating her, she cursed: "You worthless thing!"
The county magistrate was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy in a panic: "Oh, madam, please be gentle. I was wrong. I was wrong! I beg you, no matter what I do in the future, can you please stop being here?" What about insulting me and beating me in public?”
His face was full of fear and helplessness, and his eyes looked pitifully at the county magistrate's wife.
When the county magistrate's wife heard this, she became even more angry. She stopped, put her hands on her hips, glared at the magistrate, and shouted loudly: "Do you still need face for someone like you? Look at what you have done today. What a good thing!”
Her eyes seemed to be bursting with fire, and her chest was heaving violently.
The county magistrate's wife turned around, her eyes wide open, staring at the county magistrate, and asked sternly: "Tell me! Where did you go last night? Don't lie to me!" She put her hands on her hips, looking aggressive.
The county magistrate's eyes dodged, not daring to look at his wife. After hesitating for a while, he finally stammered: "I... I went to gamble with others last night."
After that, he lowered his head, like a child who made a mistake and was waiting for punishment.
When the county magistrate's wife heard this, she was immediately furious and trembling with anger. She rushed up again and beat and scolded the county magistrate: "You useless thing! You actually went to gamble again! You are really a dog that can't change its nature!"
While scolding, she kept hitting the county magistrate with her hands, and tears were about to come out of anger.
The county magistrate was beaten so hard that he begged for mercy: "Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong, I won't do it again!" But the county magistrate's wife ignored his pleas and continued to beat and scold him. Her angry scolding and the county magistrate's begging for mercy echoed in the yard.
The county magistrate shrank his neck and said with a wronged look: "Madam, I was just confused for a moment. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time."
His eyes were full of begging, and he looked like a child who had done something wrong begging for forgiveness from adults.
The county magistrate's wife snorted coldly, and said with anger: "Forgive you? You made me lose face in front of so many people, and you still want me to forgive you? No way!" As she said that, she raised her hand again and pretended to hit him.
The county magistrate stepped back a few steps and said in a crying voice: "Don't hit me, don't hit me, madam, I promise I will never do it again. I will listen to you and do my job well, okay?"
His face was full of flattering smiles, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
The county magistrate's wife looked at his cowardly appearance, angry and amused, and gritted her teeth and said: "You'd better do what you say. If there is a next time, I will deal with you!"
After that, she angrily threw her sleeves and turned away. The county magistrate was relieved, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and muttered: "Oh, it's over."
Then he stood there in disgrace, with a look of helplessness and regret.
The jailer who teased Tuoba Yu was still lying there, groaning, looking very embarrassed.
At this time, several other jailers came to Xiyu's cell with food.
As they handed the food into the cell, they asked tentatively in a low voice: "Hey, will the jailer who was beaten be in danger in the future? How come his wife is so powerful?" Their faces were full of curiosity and worry.
However, Xiyu just glanced at them coldly, ignored them at all, and completely ignored their questions.
Xiyu did feel a little hungry at this moment, so he picked up the food and ate it by himself, turning a deaf ear to the words of the jailers.
Seeing this, the jailers had no choice but to shake their heads helplessly, and then took the food to Tuoba Yu's cell.
They handed the food to Tuoba Yu and asked the same questions as Xiyu.
"Madam, will this jailer be in danger in the future? How come you are so powerful?"
Tuoba Yu also said nothing, just looked at them coldly, with disdain in his eyes.
The jailers were bored and could only leave the cell area embarrassedly.
Tuoba Yu looked at the food in front of her, her stomach was indeed growling with hunger. She frowned, but decided to eat first.
She picked up the food and checked it carefully like a cautious little animal. After confirming that it was not poisonous, she began to eat it in small bites.
As soon as she took a bite, her facial features wrinkled together, and she looked disgusted, and shouted to Xi Yu loudly: "Hey, husband, is this food delicious?"
Her eyes were wide open, full of complaints.
Xi Yu ate his share slowly. When he heard Tuoba Yu's call, he responded without raising his head: "We are not here to enjoy ourselves, why do we care so much." His expression was very calm, as if he was accustomed to all this.
When Tuoba Yu heard this, he was immediately annoyed, threw his chopsticks on the table, and said angrily: "Then you tell me, when will you tell me your identity? You can't keep doing this!"
She pouted, with a look of unwillingness on her face, staring at Xi Yu closely.
Xiyu then slowly raised his head, glanced at Tuoba Yu, and said slowly: "Don't worry, the time is not right yet."
His eyes revealed a kind of confidence and calmness.
Tuoba Yu folded his hands in front of his chest, frowned tightly, and said with annoyance: "Oh, it's so annoying!" She shook her head, her face full of helplessness.
Then she looked at Xiyu who was still calm not far away, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and raised her voice: "Look at you, we are obviously here to go to jail!" Her eyes were full of disbelief, and she pointed at the surrounding environment while speaking.
Xiyu seemed to have heard nothing, still sitting there leisurely, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and responded lightly: "What about going to jail?"
His eyes were calm and calm, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
Tuoba Yu was about to go crazy. She stamped her feet and said angrily, "But look at you. You don't look like you're in jail. You look like you're just a guest!"
Her face was full of disbelief and depression. She stared at Xi Yu intently, as if she wanted to see something different on his face.
After hearing what Tuoba Yu said, Xi Yu was stunned for a moment, then he raised his head and laughed heartily.
"Hahahaha... You can't be so impatient. You have to learn to be calm. If you get impatient when encountering something, how can you accomplish anything great?"
His eyes were full of seriousness and expectation, as if he was teaching a junior. (End of this chapter)
