Li Yi didn't know why the walrus stopped behind him like this, but he was so scared that he hurried to the street, ready to avoid this trouble.
"Hey! You a plaintiff, why don't you pay homage to me when you see me? Do you know who I am?" A crisp and pleasant voice came from the back of the walrus, like flying pearls and broken jade, and silver bells shaking.
Only then did Li Yi notice the small brocade tent on the back of the walrus, and the female voice came from the tent. "It's so unlucky. I happened to meet Sheila's direct children on their way." He bowed helplessly to the walrus, stroked his right hand and said respectfully: "The noble dictator, Mani, daughter of Kent, and his subject Li Yi, meets him."
"Hey, how do you know the name?" The girl in the tent exclaimed a little.
"Haha," Li Yi smiled bitterly and explained: "This is actually very simple. Everyone knows that the dictator Kent has a precious pearl in his hand. He is fourteen years old this year. How do you tell me to believe that your sisters who are already married can make such a gentle voice? So when I hear the sound and see the Kent family's direct clan emblem, I understand it. Besides, who will use street emergency control will willfully just to ride walruses around. You are so happy!"
"You, how could you do this for me? I, I'm just coming out to play!" The tent was suddenly opened, revealing a rosy cheek.
To be honest, Li Yi did not think that this daughter of Kent is as beautiful as rumored, but she is young and energetic. Moreover, at the age of twelve, he is only precocious in intelligence and not very mature in physiology, and is not very good at appreciating women. Mani's slender waist, white skin like ivory and pointed chin made him feel weak.
"Yes, I'm sorry for disturbing your Yaxing. I'm leaving. Please give yourself your own care." Li Yi just wanted to go to the bakery early to buy his dinner. If he was one step late, the cheap bread would be bought by others who were lonely and helpless as he survived.
Then, he will be hungry all night again.
It feels very uncomfortable to be hungry. He had already encountered it last night, and he didn't want to continue to starve tonight.
Mani felt very sad, as if something was blocking her. No matter who saw her for the first time, she would praise her beauty. Although she had no expression, how could she hide her youthful acting skills from those old foxes, the joy that shone out from the corners of her eyes and a little proud look had already been exposed.
The ugly untouched man in front of her, who had a big head, actually scoffed at her - she thought so, and always felt that the perfunctory feeling was not pretending, and she usually saw many young nobles who covet her beauty but pretended to be serious. The eyes of those people always fell on her bulging breasts and round buttocks. The little wisdom of the woman made her notice this, and she accepted this fact happily and shyly, but Li Yi was so cold that he hurriedly wanted to slip away. This contempt was too obvious.
"Damn big head!" Mani thought angrily. She jumped off the walrus lightly and came to Li Yi, raising her head like a bird. The pride that inherited her mother made her proud and charming.
"Where are you going?" asked the proud queen, holding a whip made of snakeskin in her hand.
"I'm sorry, I'm anxious..." Li Yi didn't mean to turn around at all. He felt like a thick layer of high-quality butter was applied under his feet, and he slipped quickly.
"You!" The girl was anxious and angry, catching up, but accidentally stepped on the corner of her skirt, "Puuu!" fell to the ground, and her forehead hit the stone tablet on the street. Blood flowed. She immediately pulled her face into a ball and cried loudly.
"Miss!" A large group of guards suddenly surged out from somewhere. The black uniform of a color seemed to rolling in the dark clouds, surrounding Mani layer by layer. An old doctor walked quickly and ran over to deal with the wound on Mani's forehead.
Li Yi was in great danger. The guards like wolves and tigers cut his hands back. One of them raised the cross-iron horse boots and kicked him hard on the abdomen. The severe pain made him curl up into a shrimp immediately, his face flushed red, and he was about to drip bleeding, and a bloody splash appeared in his throat.
"I'm just going to buy bread!" Li Yi shouted angrily in the midst of the severe pain, but then he was slapped, half of his cheeks numb, and his ears buzzed, as if a group of bees were flying and his tongue was bitten.
After a moment of dizziness, he simply fainted.
When I woke up, I found myself lying in a pile of hay, with a iron door made of thick iron bars in front of me, and the dampness and stench told him that it was in prison.
There were solid and cold rocks on all sides, not airtight, and there was no rat. The lock of the iron door was twice as thick as his arm, making it even more impossible to escape.
Li Yi touched his cheeks, which were swollen like a baked bread, full and shiny, and his tongue could not stretch and could not feel its existence. After crying for a while in depression, he calmed down and waited silently for the fate he was about to suffer, perhaps a matter of
A private trial that is unfair, perhaps a bizarre death.
Resistance is naturally futile and will add more pain. Li Yi can't understand why he went to buy some cheap bread and ran into Kent's beloved little daughter Mani on a walrus. What's even more incredible is that she even fell below her forehead.
"This is fate?, so many incredible coincidences are just for me! Let me be a person who barely survives with relief every day!" Li Yi smashed the wall angrily and complained loudly. He felt extremely sad. When he arrived in such a ghost place, he suffered such unfair treatment. A sound of footsteps came, and then a basin of cold water poured his head and face. The wound behind him was stimulated by the water, which was extremely miserable. Before he could wail, the prison door was opened and the whip fell down.
"Damn criminal! Give me some peace!" A heavy accent sounded, accompanied by the whistle of a whip slashing through the air and the crisp sound of whipping on the flesh, it was like hell.
**'s 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 simply gave up resistance and let the whip whip on his face.
"Baoshi, you have caused a huge disaster. I don't think you will live long!"
"Bang!" He was thrown to the wall, and as he slid down, a dark red blood stain was dragged out.
"Ahem!" A large ball of blood foam gushed out from the corner of his mouth, and Li Yi's consciousness began to blur again.
"Young boy, where are you from?" An old voice came from the darkness, with a sharp and harsh tail tone, with an indescribable desolation in his tone, and the tone of a domineering superior, but it has been exhausted by the cruel imprisonment life.
He had never known that he had lived in the same cell with others. No wonder that the man was buried in a corner of the shadow and could not see clearly.
"Me?" Li Yi sat up slowly, his head buried between his legs, blood and saliva fell on the hay, and half of his teeth.
Tears kept pouring out, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I am an orphan." He paused and whispered: "I don't know why I came here, I just got into trouble."
"This is the bottom layer of the sandstone prison. Look at us skinny evil spirits," the old man stretched out a dead branch from the darkness. His little finger was missing, and the knuckles of his middle finger were strangely twisted. "We are all political losers, and everyone on the ground calls us *******."
"***?" Li Yi retreated in fear, "You, what did you do!"
"I? I just do what I should do. Sometimes, even if I know the cruel consequences, I have to stand up, otherwise you will feel uneasy." The dry hand shrank back.
After a moment of silence, the old man said again: "What about you? What did you do? You have fallen into this bottom-level prison with great sins?"
"I offended the daughter of dictator Kent." There is nothing to hide, and Li Yi is true. "Maybe people like me are offending others when they walk in broad daylight."
"It's not your fault, child." The old man's voice was soft and heavy, which made people feel at ease. "Kent, when the Senate recommended him as the consul, we still believed that he had always been the naughty boy playing with golden ostrich fur. Unexpectedly, this evil wolf with evil intentions was elected as our king. People often use sincere appearance and pious actions to cover up a devilish heart. He invented the word dictator? Haha, it's really appropriate!"
The old man's casual words made Li Yi stand up. Is this politics? How cruel and realistic!
"But what did you do? What great sin did you commit when a teenage child was beaten and bullied? Fairness is always in the hands of a few people. If you have parents, they will definitely be heartbroken for you."
"I am just an insignificant stray dog. How slight my life is. I don't even have the freedom to choose and I am treated unfairly. Can you tell me why?" Li Yi asked sadly.
"Because, you are not strong enough inside and weaker outside. You lack strength both internally and externally. If you don't have the power to shock, you will be bullied. Maybe the Kent family will not care about your small offense, but there will be countless people in this organization led by Kent to torture you and punish you to please Kent."
After knowing the reason, Li Yi felt extremely sad. He asked with a sob: "What else can I do?"
"Oh, of course they won't kill you. This violates the public law of the mainland. Minors are protected by certain treaties of the public law of the mainland. Not every place is chaotic. Even in the chaos, there are open, high-sounding agreements and laws. You will be judged and then exiled, that's it. But you have to remember that no matter what, no matter how much insult and torture you are, you cannot show strength and anger, because this gives them the reason to kill you."
"I understand that crying and cowardice are the ways to escape death. Even if I am angry, my brave resistance does not make any sense because they are too powerful."
"That's right. If you want to punish them and doomsday judgment, you must at least wait until you have strong enough power. If you have never had such power, then wait, and someone will stand up."
"What's your name?" Li Yi lay on the hay, his eyes closed. Although the pain came, he could no longer feel fear and was extremely peaceful.
After a long silence, the old man slowly spoke: "I used to be Viteris."
I don’t know how long it took, a prison guard brought a plate of food. Li Yi took a look and found it was a large piece of white bread, served with a glass of fresh cheese, and a full glass of milk and a piece of cold steak next to it.
"This!" He was extremely shocked by such a rich food, but then he realized that these things were prepared for Viteris, and they were about to execute the old man.
"Oh, it seems that I have to leave after I finish eating." The old man said in a relaxed and pleasant tone, "Child, you must live well!" Although he could not see clearly in the darkness, he knew that Viteris was staring at him in his eyes.
Li Yi was already in tears. He closed his eyes until Viteris finished his last supper and was locked in heavy shackles by the jailer. Then he curled up in the corner of the house in a daze and stared at the gray corridor outside.
After a while, his dinner was also delivered, a cold potato and half a piece of moldy bread. He rushed over and ate no left. After all, even for the old man's words, he would have to live well.
Two days later, Li Yi also waited for his trial.
To his surprise, this was actually a public trial.
When the quilt was covered with heavy shackles and walked through the long corridor, the dazzling sunlight tilted on him like a waterfall, and the warm light stinged his eyes.
Thousands of people sat around the stairs, mostly adult men in white Toga. The judge and jurors gradually sat behind a long white table with statues of the goddess of justice holding a balance and a sword on it.
As soon as Li Yi appeared, he caused a burst of striking discussion.
"Oh my God, that's still a child!" "He is definitely not fifteen years old!" "Oh, so pitiful, so young, where is his guardian?"...
"Silent!" The wooden hammer rang. The judge was a respected and fair old man. He was wearing a pair of thick tortoiseshell glasses and was looking at a piece of parchment through the bottom of the lens.
"Bring the criminal in!" a middle-aged female juror whispered.
Li Yi was taken to the small fence facing the judge by two guards.
"Next, I will ask you questions, you must answer truthfully, otherwise it will be regarded as contempt for the court, do you understand?" The judge was harsh.
"clear."
"Your name?"
"Li Yi."
"Don't have a last name? What a weird name."
"Yes, sir."
"Are you an orphan? And you've been living in Mithri?"
"Yes, sir."
"You registered with the City-State Relief Committee Xiping in 263 and are sixteen years old this year?"
"No, I'm just twelve."
"You are lying! Since you have registered, you are sixteen years old, you are twelve years old, so what are you going to prove it? Don't try to deceive the court, even though you are young, you are actually vicious."
"Yes, I'm sixteen, I lied."
