Chapter 58: .Buying bread

Li Yi didn't know why the walrus had to stop behind him like this, but he was so scared that he quickly hurried to the street and prepared to avoid this trouble.
"Hey! You pariah, why don't you see me when you see me? Do you know who I am?" A crisp and sweet voice came from the back of the walrus, like flying beads and jade, and the silver bell shook.
Only then did Li Yi notice the little tapestry tent on the back of the walrus. The female voice came from the tent. "It's unlucky, just happened to meet Sheila's son-in-law's children." He bowed helplessly to the walrus, stroked his chest with his right hand, and said respectfully: "Manny, the daughter of the distinguished dictator Kent, and his subjects Li Yi saw him."
"Huh, how do you know the name?" The girl in the tent exclaimed a little.
"Hehe," Li Yi smiled bitterly and explained: "This is actually very simple. Everyone knows that the dictator Kent has a cherished pearl. This year is 14 years old. How do you tell me how to believe that you are a woman Sister can make such a tactful voice? So when I heard the voice, I knew it when I saw the family emblem of the Kent family. Besides, you, besides you, who would use the street emergency control only to walk around the walrus Circle, you are so happy!"
"You, how can you say me, me, I just came out to play!" The tent was opened at once, revealing a ruddy cheek.
To be honest, Li Yi doesn't think that this Kent's daughter is as beautiful as she is rumored, but only youthful and energetic, and he is only twelve-year-old who is precociously intellectually, not physiologically mature, but rather appreciative of women. Not very good. Mani's slender waist, white ivory-like skin and pointed chin just made him feel weak.
"Yes, I'm sorry to disturb your Yaxing. I'm leaving. Please help yourself." Li Yi just wanted to go to the bakery to buy his dinner early. If one step later, cheap bread will be treated like him. So those who live alone and do not rely on relief to buy,
Then, he will be hungry all night again.
The taste of being hungry is very uncomfortable. He had already encountered it last night, and he did not want to continue to be hungry tonight.
Mani was very sad, as if something was blocking her. No matter who saw her for the first time, she would praise her beauty. Although she didn’t say anything, how could her green acting be concealed? After those old foxes, the cheerfulness of the corners of the eyes, and a little prideful spirit have long been exposed.
And the ugly unruly man with the big deformed head in front of him actually sneered at her-she thinks that the perfunctory perfunctory is not pretended, and usually sees many young nobles who pretend to be her beauty but pretend to be serious, The eyes of those people always fell on her bulging and round buttocks. The little wisdom of women made her aware of this, and she accepted this fact cheerfully and shyly, but Li Yi was really Too cold, hurriedly want to slip away, this contempt is too obvious.
"Damn head!" Mani thought indignantly. She jumped lightly off the walrus and came to Li Yi. The bird raised her head like a bird. The arrogance inherited from her mother made her proud and charming.
"Where are you going?" the proud queen asked, as if carrying a snake whip twisted in her hands.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry..." Li Yi didn't mean to look back at all. His feet seemed to be smeared with a thick layer of fine butter, and he slid quickly.
"You!" The girl was anxious and angry, catching up, but accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt, "Poof!" She fell to the ground, her forehead hit the stone on the street, blood flowed, she immediately pulled her face In a ball, howling and crying.
"Miss!" I don't know where to rush out a large group of guards. The black uniform of a color rolled like dark clouds, and surrounded Mani in layers. An old doctor walked vigorously and quickly ran over to deal with Mani's forehead wound.
However, Li Yi fell into bad luck, and a guard like a wolf cut his hands back, and one of the riding boots with a crucifix iron kicked fiercely on his lower abdomen. The pain caused him to curl up immediately. She became a shrimp, her face flushed and flushed, she was about to bleed, and her throat burst into a sweet smell.
"I'm just going to buy bread!" Li Yi shouted angrily in the pain, but then he slapped, half of his cheeks were numb, and his ears were buzzing, as if there were a group of bees flying, and his tongue was also Bitten.
For a while, he fainted.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in a pile of hay, in front of which was an iron door made of thick iron bars. The dampness and stench told him that it was in prison.
All three sides are solid and cold rocks. There is no airtightness and no mouse. The lock of the iron door is twice as thick as his arm. It is more impossible to escape.
Li Yi touched his cheek, swollen like a toasted bread, full and shiny, and his tongue could not stretch anymore, and he could hardly feel its existence. After crying in frustration for a while, he calmed down, silently waiting for the fate he would suffer, perhaps a
A private trial without fairness may be a bizarre death.
Resisting nature is in vain and will add more pain. Li Yi can’t understand why he went to buy some cheaply processed bread and encountered Kent’s beloved little daughter Mani riding a walrus. The more incredible thing is She also fell below her forehead.
"It's destiny?, so many incredible coincidences, just to make me! Let me be an orphan with a relief every day and try hard!" Li Yi hit the wall angrily, complaining loudly, he felt extremely sad, In such a ghost place, what unfair treatment he suffered. There was a sound of footsteps, and then a pot of cold water poured him over his face, and the wound behind him was stimulated by the raw water, which was really miserable. He had not wailed the exit yet, the jail door was opened, and the leather whip fell.
"Damn criminal! Give Lao Tzu a point!" A heavy voice sounded, accompanied by the whistle of the leather whip across the air and the crisp sound of the skin, like hell.
Physical torture and verbal insults made Li Yi completely lose the courage to resist. He lamented that his body was like a broken pocket with scars, and he simply gave up his resistance and let the whip hit his face.
"Waste, it's a terrible disaster. I don't think you will live long!"
"Boom!" He was dropped on the wall, dragging a dark red stain of blood as he fell.
"Cough cough!" Large groups of blood foam poured from the corner of the mouth, and Li Yi's consciousness began to blur again.
"Young boy, where do you come from?" An old voice came out of the darkness, with a sharp and harsh tail, and a tone of indescribable desolation in the tone. There was still the tone of the superior who was irritated by the fingers, but it had been cruelly imprisoned. Life is gone.
He never knew that he was in a cell with other people. It's no wonder that the whole person was buried in a shadow in a corner and could not see clearly.
"Me?" Li Yi sat up slowly, his head buried between his legs, blood and saliva lowered on the hay, and half of his teeth.
Tears burst forth, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I am an orphan." After a pause, he whispered again: "I don't know why I came here, but I was unlucky."
"This is the bottom of the sandstone prison. Look at us scrawny evil spirits," the old man stretched out a dry branch-like hand from the darkness, the little finger was missing, and the knuckles were also twisted strangely. We are all political losers, and everyone on your ground calls us ."
"?" Li Yi stepped back in horror, "You, what the are you doing!"
"Me? I just said what I should say and did what I should do. Sometimes, even if you know the cruel consequences, you have to stand up, otherwise, you will be uneasy." The dry hand shrank back.
After a moment of silence, the old man said again: "What about you? What have you done so much that you have fallen into the bottom prison of this sinful evil?"
"I offended the daughter of dictator Kent." There is nothing to hide, Li Yi said truthfully, "Maybe people like me walking in broad daylight are offending others."
"It's not your fault, boy." The old man's voice was soft and thick, which was reassuring. "Kent, when the senate recommended him as a consul, we still believe that he has always been the naughty playing with golden ostrich hair. Boy, I didn’t expect this evil wolf to be elected as our king. People often use sincere appearance and pious actions to cover up a devilish heart. Is the word dictator also invented by him? Haha, Really appropriate!"
The old man's random words made Li Yihan straight, is this politics? How cruel and realistic!
"But what did you do? A child in his twenties was beaten and bullied. What sins did you commit? Fairness is always in the hands of a few people. If you have parents, they will definitely break your heart. ."
"I'm just an insignificant stray dog. How light my life is. Even if I don't have the freedom to choose, I get such unfair treatment. Can you tell me why?" Li Yi asked sadly.
"Because, your heart is not strong enough, and the outside is weaker. Whether you are inside or outside, you lack strength. If you are not deterred by power, you will be bullied. Maybe the Kent family will not care about such small offenses, but There will be countless people in this organization headed by Kent who want to torture you and punish you to please Kent."
Knowing the reason, Li Yi felt sad and sad at heart, and he choked with a cry: "What else can I do?"
"Oh, of course they will not kill you. This is contrary to the mainland public law. Minors are protected by certain treaties of the mainland public law. The order is not chaotic everywhere, even in the chaos, there is a clear face. Sounding agreements and laws. You will be tried and then exiled, that's it. But you have to remember that no matter how much humiliation and torture, you can't show strength and anger, because it just gave them Reason for dying you."
"I understand that crying and cowardice are the way to escape death. Even if I am angry, my courageous resistance does not make any sense, because they are so powerful."
"That's it. To punish them and doomsday judgment, at least wait until you have enough power. If you haven't had such power, wait, someone will stand up."
"What's your name?" Li Yi lay on his back with his eyes closed, and although the pain came, he could no longer feel fear and was extremely peaceful.
After a long silence, the old man said slowly: "Before, my name was Vitelis."
I don't know how long after that, a jailer brought a plate to eat. Li Yi glanced at it. It was a large piece of white bread with a glass of fresh cheese. A glass of milk and a cold steak were next to it.
"This!" Such a rich food shocked him very much, but then reacted, these things were prepared for Vitelis, and they were about to execute the old man.
"Oh, it seems that I have to go after eating." The old man said in a light and pleasant tone, "Child, you must live well!" Although he could not see the truth in the dark, he knew that Vitelis was staring. His eyes told him.
Li Yi had burst into tears, he closed his eyes until Vitelis finished his last supper, and was locked up by the jailer and taken away by heavy shackles. Then he curled up blankly in the corner of the room and stared blankly outside. Grey choke.
After a while, his dinner was also delivered, a cold potato and half a moldy loaf of bread. He rushed over and left nothing to eat. After all, even for the old man's words, he must live well.
Two days later, Li Yi also waited for his trial.
To his surprise, this turned out to be a public trial.
When the heavy shackles walked through the long corridor, the dazzling sunlight fell like a waterfall on him, and the warm light stung his eyes.
Thousands of people were sitting around the ladder square, mostly adult men in white toga. The judges and jurors gradually sat behind a white long table with a statue of the goddess of justice holding scales and swords.
As soon as Li Yi played, he heard a lot of discussion.
"Oh my god, that's still a kid!" "He's definitely not fifteen!" "Oh, it's so pitiful, so young, what about his guardian?"...
"Silence!" The mallet struck. The judge was a respected and just old man. He was wearing a pair of heavy tortoiseshell glasses and was looking at a piece of parchment through the lens.
"Bring criminals in!" a middle-aged female juror said loudly.
Li Yi was escorted by two guards into the small fence facing the judge.
"Below, I will ask you questions. You must answer truthfully, otherwise it will be regarded as contempt for the court, understand?" the judge said sternly.
"understand."
"your name?"
"Li Yi."
"No surname? What a weird name."
"Yes, sir."
"Are you an orphan? And have been living in Miri?"
"Yes, sir."
"You registered Xiping was born in 263 and was 16 years old this year?"
"No, I just turned twelve."
"You are lying! Since you are registered, then you are sixteen years old, and you say you are twelve years old, so what proof do you take? You are notorious villain, don't try to deceive the court, although you look like Young, in fact, it is malicious."
"Yes, I am sixteen, I lied."
"That's right," the old judge supported the mirror frame with satisfaction, and continued to ask: "Three days ago, when you were traveling with Mani, the young daughter of dictator Kent, you brutally attacked this pearl of Mies. Does this matter?"
