Chapter 271
From then on, every hour passed, someone came to whip him, and Qin Zheng had new and old injuries, almost completely shattered.Someone would forcefully stuff rough food into her mouth at regular intervals to keep her alive.Whenever she was so sleepy and painful that she passed out, someone came to beat the gongs and drums, or poured cold water on her. After doing this three times, Qin Zheng's eyes were in a trance, and she could hardly see what was in front of her, and her whole body was numb. To no consciousness.

I don't know how many days passed, until she thought she was going to die in this dungeon.Suddenly one day, the prison guard came forward, and she was untied, and her whole body fell to the ground like a rag.The skin full of wounds touched the cold and moldy slate, and sharp pain hit everywhere.Every part of her body hurt more than a needle prick, and every part was attacking, making her almost unable to breathe, the pain she couldn't hide from, and even the opening and closing of her mouth seemed to involve even greater pain.

She stared blankly at the blackened stone top of the prison, and her mind was filled with emptiness.

She thought she was going to die, but she didn't.From that day onwards, no one came to beat her, instead they brought food for ordinary people.The wounds on her body began to scab little by little, and her whole body was painful and itchy. Ants came to her and climbed up her legs.At the beginning, she had no feeling in her hands, but when she gradually regained her senses, she tried to drive away the ants tremblingly, her fingers didn't work, and she tried several times before pinching an ant away.

There is a toilet on her left, the food box is placed in front of it, and the straw mat is barely enough for a person to lie on behind.That's all her range of motion these days.There were bloodstains on the straw mats and a stench, and the toilet was smelly, mixed with the musty dampness around it, it was an almost disgusting place.

But the time Qin Zheng looks forward to most every day is the time to eat.Whenever it's time to eat, she must struggle, propping up her body on her elbows, and using her fingers to pull all the food into her mouth, so that there is nothing left.

She still didn't know day and night, just lived in the dimness with only one kerosene wall lamp, and she didn't know when and what month.She estimated the time when her stomach became hungry, and probably guessed that it was two meals a day for herself.So I began to silently remember how many meals I ate.

On the day when she counted to the No.13 meal, she fell asleep after eating.In her sleep, she felt someone gently stroking her cheek, which reminded her of the time when her father was still there when she was very young.For a moment, she thought she was dreaming, but the feeling was so clear and real.

She struggled to open her eyes, but what she saw was that cold and hard face.

Seeing Qin Zheng wake up, Gao Zhang's expression did not change at all, but he withdrew his hand that was stroking her cheek.

His eyes are deep and gray, his face is pale and thin, but it seems that he is the one who has been tortured in prison for more than ten days.His lips moved, and finally he asked hoarsely: "I just want to ask you one thing, you tell me."

Qin Zheng closed his eyes, stopped looking at this person, and nodded slightly.

Gao Zhang stood up suddenly, turned his back, stood with his hands behind his back, and said coldly, "Tell me, why are you doing this to me?"

Qin Zheng struggled to make a sound, moved his throat a few times, but because it was useless for too long, he finally made a hoarse voice, like a stone grinding gravel: "Do you still remember, when you entered the city that day, you stood on the tower Come on, shall I see you from the tower?"

Gao Zhang nodded: "I remember."
