The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 58 Partridge (12)

Qin Jian and the others naturally knew that the situation outside was wrong in the cell, but they were trapped to death inside. For a while, they could only hear the people inside banging on the door, but the cell door was extremely strong. Break out.I sat down in the corner and let the people inside shout out their throats and ignore them.If Gu Yue and the others can really escape from here, it may be a relief for both of them, so why should I meddle in my own business.

After a while, the noise outside the prison gradually subsided, probably because the prisoners had fled a little far away.Only then did a guard outside regain his strength, struggled on the ground, and staggered to his feet.At this time, the clouds opened and the moon appeared, and the open space became brighter.The guard's face was covered with blood, and his eyes were bloodshot. He walked over drunk, and kept touching his waist, but he couldn't figure out where the key was.

I glanced at him, but still ignored him, because I didn't know where the prisoners had fled to. If they didn't escape far, Qin Jian and the others could catch up after they came out.The key was clearly on his waist, but the guard couldn't touch it with trembling hands.After a while, for some reason, he suddenly squatted at the door of the cell and began to cry.

Just now he was silent when he was beaten by the group of prisoners, but then he suddenly started crying, which shocked me immediately.Seeing a huge man crying like a child in front of me, I naturally felt uncomfortable, so I stood up and walked over to him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

When he heard someone talking, he raised his head to look at me, his eyes were dim with tears, and he said in a daze, "They... all escaped."

He actually cried because of this.I was stunned, and then I was shocked again. Ten years of guarding career had completely destroyed him.He is no longer a person, but a jailer, who exists for this prison, for these prisoners.Once the prison is gone and the prisoner escapes, he is like losing his soul.

I laughed absent-mindedly. At this time, Qin Jian heard me talking inside, and couldn't hide her anxiety. She shook the door vigorously, gritted her teeth and said to me: "Open the door, and I will tell you where Gu Yin was ten years ago. .”

I was unmoved. There were a total of 63 prisoners, including these guards, probably close to a hundred.The fate of nearly a hundred people has been changed because of him. Now that it is possible for them to change their fate, how can I let this prison swallow them for my own personal affairs?

Seeing that I was silent, Qin Jian went berserk inside, banging on the cell door desperately, and the other guards were also with him.Hearing the howling ghosts and wolves inside, I felt more and more that I shouldn't open the door for them.And just as I was thinking that Gu Yue and the others should have fled away, there was a burst of gunfire outside the prison.

The gunshot sounded particularly piercing in the silent night, and I suddenly felt something was wrong, because when Gu Yue and the others fled, they didn't take the guard's two guns away, so where did the gunshot come from?

Before I came back to my senses, there was a commotion outside the prison again. I walked out from the passage in the middle of the first row of houses and came to the gate of the prison. ran over.And the torches were shaking everywhere, forming an encirclement circle. The people holding the torches yelled, and kept driving the people in the encirclement circle to the prison.

Could it be that Qin Jian also arranged for someone to guard the perimeter of the prison?I was taken aback, and when I saw clearly that the men holding the torches were dressed in the same clothes as the guards, I suddenly realized that the guards who had gone out to buy food had returned!
Gu Yue and the others tried their best to escape from prison while these people were out, but they didn't expect that when they first set foot on the land of freedom, they met them returning to prison by coincidence.What a trick, I couldn't help but smile wryly.

These guards gradually tightened the encirclement and drove the prisoners to the prison gate. I hurriedly made way, and I was surrounded by them and rushed into the prison together.When the guards entered the prison, they closed the door tightly first. The prisoners fled around the prison. No one was willing to go back to the prison like this. Some people started fighting with the guards. Those guards must have been ordered by Qin Jian. , the prisoners are not allowed to be harmed, so no one used guns, the two groups fought in the prison, the scene got out of control for a while, and there was chaos everywhere.

After someone entered the first row of houses, he opened the door of the cell, and the guards inside rushed out immediately, helping the people outside to control the situation.I sighed in my heart, seeing that this prison could have disappeared, but unexpectedly turned around again. It seems that these prisoners and guards are destined to be entangled together in this life.

Someone yelled hysterically, "I'm not going back to the cell! I'm not going back to the cell, ah, I'll fight you!" Then there was a burst of crying.I didn't see Qin Jian coming out, so I don't know what he was doing inside.At this moment, a burst of clear flute sounds suddenly came from behind, hypnotizing people's ears.

The sound of the flute sounded in the chaos, it seemed so abrupt.One person and I yelled at the same time: "Partridge flies!"

This song is exactly the "Partridge Flying" that I heard when I was imprisoned with Gu Yue that night. At this time, it sounded above the prison. I looked up at the night sky, as if I saw a partridge flying from above. Fly in general.I thought, this is the jindi encouraging Gu Yue's partridge to fly out?
Gu Yue obviously thought the same as me, he murmured: "Partridges will fly out, partridges will fly out!"

I thought to myself that since this is the case, you should run outside, but Gu Yue seemed to be dazed, and rushed to the back of the first row of houses instead, shouting as she rushed, "Jindi! Jindi! I'm here to find you!" is you!"

As he spoke, he rushed into the back, and I hurriedly followed.As soon as he entered the back, he saw Qin Jian standing in the middle of the open space. He was eager to get out of the cell just now, but now he came out, but instead of going outside to control the situation, he stood alone in the middle of the space.Surrounded by prisoners and guards who were fighting, the ground was filled with people, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. He stood there alone and looked up at the sky, looking indescribably weird.

What's even weirder is that at this moment, he is holding a dagger in one hand, which is dripping blood, and holding a bamboo flute in the other hand, and the sound of the flute just now has long since stopped.As soon as Gu Yue came in, she saw Qin Jian standing with her back to her, holding a dagger and a bamboo flute in her hand, while the brocade flute was lying on the side not far from him, motionless, suddenly trembling all over, and her eyes turned red. Muttering in his mouth: "He killed her! He killed her!"

He kept chanting, as if his soul had come out of his body, he walked towards Qin Jian step by step, stabbed something in his hand from Qin Jian's back, then pulled it out, and stabbed it in again.Qin Jian screamed, turned her head and looked at Gu Yue in a daze, as if she didn't believe that he had killed herself.Gu Yue didn't seem to realize it, she just poked him one after another, her movements were numb and mechanical.

After rushing in, I witnessed this scene and saw that what he was holding in his hand was exactly the toothbrush that had been ground into a triangular cone shape. I was frightened out of my wits and hurried over to hold Gu Yue tightly.Only then did Gu Yue stop, looked at me blankly, and repeated: "He killed her."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Jian slowly knelt down on the ground, blood flowed from his back, staining his entire back red.He put down the dagger in his hand and wanted to touch the wound on his back with his backhand, but he couldn't find it.He opened his mouth slightly, as if he didn't understand what all this was for, then he tilted his body and fell down immediately.

Seeing him fall to the ground, Gu Yue broke free from my grasp, knelt on the ground and came to Jin Di's corpse, picked her up from the ground, then walked towards the cell with three steps - only the inside nobody.I watched him leave madly, sighed in my heart, and turned to look at Qin Jian.

Qin Jian stared at me with wide, empty eyes, and said in a daze, "I'm dead." If he died, no one would know where Gu Yin was ten years ago.I was a little anxious, and was about to speak, when he suddenly said: "If you see Gu Yin, ask him for me, do I have my own beliefs?"

He suddenly said such a sentence, but I was confused and asked him: "What?"

"Faith. People must have faith in life. This is what Gu Yin said." Qin Jian still said in a daze, "I believe in his words, so I have been here for ten years. Do you think I have faith? ?”

He has been the prison warden here for ten years, just because of Gu Yin's inexplicable sentence?I couldn't help but ask him: "Who are you?"

"Who am I? Who am I?" He murmured to himself, and seemed to think for a long time before remembering, and called softly, "Ah! I remember, I was a bandit before."

I shuddered and could hardly believe my ears.Qin Jian is actually a bandit, so all the guards here are bandits?A group of bandits built a prison and imprisoned so many people. Why does this sound so unbelievable?

"Then how did you know Gu Yin, and why did you trap so many people here just because of his words?" I asked him dumbfounded.

"How do you know each other?" Qin Jian repeated, then closed her eyes and fell into the memory, talking to herself like dreaming, "In the past few decades, I have lived a muddle-headed life. I am happy when I have meat, and I am happy when I have wine. Sa Ye. He is a city patrol horse. He often passes by our mountain stronghold. He has known me for a while. The city patrol horse passes letters and letters. What he does is a meritorious deed. I don’t snatch the city patrol horse. I couldn’t understand what country and nation I was talking about. He also said, people have to figure out something when they live, right? I thought yes, otherwise why would they live?”

I laughed wryly, this was the first time I met a bandit who would think about why he was alive.Is this a mistake?
"I asked him, what did you plan for alive?" Qin Jian continued to talk to himself, "He said that he had a belief in his heart to drag this country out of the mud. When I heard it, it was a good thing. , Then I also take this as my belief. He said that he wanted to protect some people to evacuate from the place where the war was fought. I said, then I will follow you. We will protect many people from the place where the war was fought. After arriving here, He said that he was going to figure out one thing and asked me to protect these people and not let them have any accidents. I promised him that I have been guarding here all these years. He said that people must have faith in life, you say, I Having guarded here for more than ten years, do you have faith?"

As soon as he finished speaking, I froze all of a sudden.It turned out that Gu Yin never asked him to imprison these people, but only asked him to protect them when he left, and Qin Jian didn't understand the meaning of these words at all.Gu Yin told him to protect them, so he trapped them all here.Since everyone is here, naturally nothing will happen.

The origin of this prison is so absurd.I wanted to laugh a little, but I almost shed tears. The ten years of nearly a hundred people were wasted here because of such a reason!
