EBE Chapter 352 For Food
Chapter 352 For Food
Everyone walked through the busy streets towards a less populated area, and finally arrived at a place with the words "Detention Center" written on it.
There was a cold and desolate atmosphere outside the detention center. There were several guards guarding the door, looking at Zhang Liang and his group with disdain.
Feiyu looked at the guards, whose eyes showed nothing but disdain and indifference, and he couldn't help but tremble.
Zhang Liang looked at Fei Yu beside him, who was trembling so much when he saw the detention center, and thought that if he saw the environment inside, he would definitely find it unbearable.
Although Zhang Liang didn't know the internal situation of the detention center, in his opinion, the detention center was definitely not a good place.
Then, everyone was taken to the detention center. The guards threw everyone into the same cell and warned them, "Stay still and don't cause me any trouble. This will be good for both you and me."
After saying that, they planned to close the door and leave.
After Feiyu observed the environment of the cell, the hairs on his body stood up. This cell was not a place for people to stay. There was not even a bed, how could they rest, and there were so many people in one cell.
Looking at the ground again, it was covered with dry grass. When Fei Yu walked gently over it, he could feel something crawling in the grass, making a squeaking sound.
Looking closely, I saw some tiny insects crawling in the grass.
Feiyu was just complaining about the large number of insects when he suddenly felt something pressing against his feet. He looked down and saw that it was a big rat. He didn't expect that the rats in this cell were not afraid of people at all, but moved freely in the cell.
Seeing the mouse, Feiyu was so scared that he immediately jumped onto Zhang Liang.
The guard who had not yet left saw Feiyu frightened by the rat and laughed at him, "You can't handle it right after you get here. You're so fragile."
Feiyu was so frightened at this time that he could no longer hear the guard's sarcasm.
After a while, Feiyu jumped off Zhang Liang's back, and Zhang Liang laughed accidentally.
Feiyu looked at Zhang Liang with some annoyance. Thinking that when he was scared, he did not comfort himself but laughed at him instead, he decided to ignore Zhang Liang in anger.
So he turned his head to look elsewhere, but did not move his body, because Feiyu judged from the sound that there must be a lot of rats in the cell, and he would feel safer if he got closer.
Zhang Liang couldn't help laughing when he saw Feiyu feeling awkward, but he didn't say anything. He just pushed Feiyu's body back and let him sit on a relatively clean pile of grass.
Chapter 1: Prison Friends
Zhang Liang sat opposite Feiyu, closing his eyes, as if deep in thought. Feiyu was originally standing alone, and seeing that everyone around him had already sat down, he seemed out of place, so he finally chose to find a corner to sit down.
These few days in prison, every time it is mealtime, there is always a fixed prison guard who brings rough food without any oil or water.
They threw the food on the ground and walked away regardless of whether the prisoners were willing to eat it or not.
At first, Zhang Liang, Fei Yu and other Confucian scholars refused to touch a single bite, unable to accept such insulting treatment.
But as time went by, Zhang Liang and Fei Yu's bodies began to be unable to bear the hunger. After all, this was not the path of inheritance. Without food, they could not survive.
The two began to waver. Zhang Liang, who was meditating, suddenly heard a noise outside the door. During this period, he had not seen anyone except the jailer who delivered food.
Listening carefully, it seemed that two jailers were discussing how to deal with these prisoners, and then there was the sound of the door opening.
Zhang Liang guessed that someone must have come to identify the Confucian scholar. Based on his previous observations in the dilapidated temple, these people should all be Confucian scholars.
But he didn't say much. Betraying his companions would only make him feel guilty and would do no good.
Even if he said it, others would not believe it and would instead implicate themselves.
Now, Zhang Liang, Fei Yu and these prisoners were like grasshoppers on a rope, their fates linked together. With the sound of iron chains, a jailer holding a sharp knife came in, opened the door, and stepped into the cell.
"Listen, everyone, you'd better tell us honestly who is the Confucian scholar," the jailer shouted.
No one responded, and the jailer said, "If you can give someone up, I'll give you a chicken leg."
The food in the prison was hard to swallow, and when he heard about the chicken drumstick, a gleam of light flashed in Feiyu's eyes. This flash was noticed by the jailer, who walked towards Feiyu and promised: "If you tell me, I will reward you handsomely."
Although Feiyu longed for the chicken leg, he knew the bottom line. He didn't know who the so-called Confucian scholar was, and even if he knew, he would not betray others.
The jailer waited for Feiyu's answer, but Feiyu shook his head and said, "I don't know." The jailer wanted to say something, but finally gave up.
The other people in the cell ignored the jailer's questions. They had already put life and death aside. Zhang Liang thought that their scriptures were burned and they might feel that life had lost its meaning, so they refused to speak no matter what.
The jailer left when he realized that he could not get any results. The prisoners turned to look at Feiyu and said, "If you want to eat chicken legs, you can just betray us. We will die sooner or later anyway."
Zhang Liang listened, he knew that these people did not understand, no matter when, Feiyu has his own principles, and will never sell out others for profit. Hearing this, Feiyu felt a little lost, he forgot that he looked like a child, others might think that children have no principles, and might do anything for food.
