Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 138 Who Is Not Calm Enough?

Watching the executioner on the other side of the execution ground start to move the knife, the screams followed, and the sound made the hearers shudder.

The executioner is a master of Lingchi, and the whole execution process is a wonderful performance.

The first piece of meat thanked the sky, the second piece of meat thanked the ground, and the third cut the scales of the fish to thank the ghosts and gods... It was cold and cold, and the prisoner was not bleeding profusely. The executioner was like cutting a carrot, cutting enough knives without the prisoner dying At this time, the eyes of all the spectators will follow the tip of the executioner's knife, or more precisely, follow the money and meat on the tip of the knife. The money and meat go up to the sky, and everyone's eyes go to the sky; What a cruel punishment.

Although this kind of punishment is cruel, the effect is obvious, and it is an absolute warning to any spectator.

Nan Surou has been watching quietly, her eyes are flat, without any wavering, while Hu Jiayi and Hu Jun beside her turn pale for a while.

To be honest, it was also the first time for Hu Jun to see Ling Chi executed. This kind of punishment is not something you can see at will. He only read it in the book, and others learned that this punishment is very bloody and cruel.

Just when Hu Jun's stomach was churning, he lowered his head to hide his fear, picked up the wine glass and put it to his mouth and took a sip.

Seeing Hu Jun's unconscious movements, Nan Surou understood that he was scared, and very scared, so he had to drink to build up his courage. No wonder he said just now that preparing wine is the practice of their siblings. Every time they come to see the execution, they have to drink. Alcohol is indeed a wonderful thing that makes people temporarily forget their fears.

The three of them were all looking at the terrifying bloody scene in the distance, and Hu Jiayi and Hu Jun seemed to be forcing themselves to "watch" this bloody feast with a calm attitude and expression.

The weather was extremely cold, and the prisoner's blood was frozen by the air-conditioning without splashing blood, but the air seemed to be covered with blood-red mist. Nan Surou looked around boredly, and found that except for the waiter, who was like a numb walking dead, at the table Shuttle in and out, the people around the table are staring at the execution ground intently.

At the end, the waiter approached Nan Surou's table with hot dishes.

Plates of food are served in front of your eyes, including fragrant pork ribs in honey sauce, thick twice-cooked pork, Maoxuewang, cabbage soup, and hot white flour steamed buns.

The waiter saw that this little girl, Nan Surou, looked unusually calm compared to the other guests, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and Nan Surou returned him with a friendly smile.

After the waiter left, Nan Surou softly called Hu Jun and Hu Jiayi, and only said that the food was served.

Unexpectedly, the two people didn't respond, they seemed to be paralyzed by fright. Hu Jun and Hu Jiayi's movements were surprisingly similar, they were both holding wine glasses, motionless.

After a while, Hu Jun came to her senses and stared at Nan Surou in disbelief.

Nan Surou was always calm, and said with a smile: "Master, the dishes are all ready, it's very cold today, if you don't eat in time, it will be cold."

Hu Jun shook her head, "It's okay, we only ate when we first went out, and we're not hungry now."

In fact, in order to prevent accidental vomiting, Hu Jun and Hu Jiayi would not eat anything before going out. This was just to cover up their nausea. Hu Jun knew that her stomach was messed up and couldn't swallow anything. things, and the same goes for his big sister Hu Jiayi.

However, when their sister and brother were extremely disgusted, Nan Surou actually picked up the chopsticks and grabbed the fat and oily twice-cooked pork. She hadn't eaten yet. With restraint, he suddenly got up and ran outside.

In the next second, Nan Surou clearly heard Hu Jiayi retching.

Hu Jun was still restrained, he looked in disbelief at Nan Surou who had no reaction to the bloody scene and was still eating twice-cooked pork calmly.

Hu Jun wanted to ask Nan Surou why this happened, but in order not to vomit on the spot, his words were swallowed back into his stomach together with the churning vomit.

Nan Surou remained calm, but she was sneering in her heart, she really deserved it, but with this little stamina, do you still want to compete with her for courage?than mentality?
The miserable screams of the inmates who arrived late died down, and the sun had only moved a quarter of the way across the zenith.

After Hu Jiayi ran out and vomited once, when she came back, she never dared to look at the execution ground again. Her complexion was blue, and she didn't dare to look at the meat on the table. She just kept staring at her hands with pale knuckles.

Hu Jun hadn't been watching that scary scene for a long time, but just stared at Nan Surou with a relaxed face.

Hu Jun originally planned to scare Nan Surou, but he didn't expect that he was disgusted instead. He couldn't help asking: "Miss Nan, after watching that scene, you can still eat meat so happily. It's really admirable."

"Eldest young master, didn't you say that you often watch this kind of scene to build your courage, so as not to be uncomfortable seeing any big scene in the future, you should have seen it a lot, so you are very calm?" Nan Surou asked, with a teasing tone in her tone.

Hu Jun forced a smile, gritted her teeth, and said, "What I saw before was only beheading, with hands raised and knives falling, bleeding profusely, very neatly, this is the first time I've seen such a scene, I see you Looks like this, I seem to have seen it a lot, are you really from a rural place like Luming?"

"It has nothing to do with whether it is a country or not. Is this scene very different from peeling a duck or peeling a radish? Besides, I have heard a lot about this punishment. Before watching it, imagine it as disgusting and terrifying. Really see it When I arrived, I felt the same way, at least, this scene is not as scary as I imagined." Nan Surou said playfully, "What? The young master wants to see me look extremely scared? You said it earlier, I will definitely Like other young ladies, when they saw this scene, they immediately screamed and fell limply into your arms for comfort."

Nan Surou spoke tactfully, without any intention of despising Hu Jun and Hu Jiayi, the atmosphere eased a bit, and after a while, Hu Jun burst out laughing.

It was the first time Hu Jun had heard of the description of Ling Chi as peeling carrots or peeling ducks. He imagined that Nan Surou was trying her best to pretend to be delicate, pretending to be paralyzed by the scene, and then looked at him with tears in her eyes. Then, in fact, to her, she just showed fear towards a piece of skin duck... For some reason, he thought this scene was funny, and then he remembered that he had just turned pale from being frightened by Ling Chi's scene. ashamed.

"Yes, I admit that I'm not as brave as you." Hu Jun said, "To be honest, I was really disgusted just now. Now that I watch you eat, I feel really disgusted too."

As she spoke, Hu Jun looked at Hu Jiayi who was still bowing her head, "Isn't it? Big sister, she's such a wonderful flower."

Hu Jiayi's complexion was not good, she raised her head and said, "I'll wait for you in the carriage first, and you can eat slowly."

Saying that, she didn't care about the reactions of the two of them, and got up to leave.

Nan Surou finally regained her anger, Hu Jun looked at each other, and then, Nan Surou really continued to pick up vegetables.

Seeing that she was still in a leisurely manner, Hu Jun finally couldn't help but said, "I heard that father thinks highly of you, can you tell me why?"

"You have to ask him about this, because I don't know what he's thinking." Nan Surou poked the fatty but fragrant twice-cooked pork with chopsticks.

"Miss Nan, you are a smart person, and I am not that idiot Nan Qiansong, let's open the skylight and speak honestly." Hu Jun's childish eyes turned gloomy in an instant, "Tell me, my father gave you What kind of benefits make you willing to be his adopted daughter and commit yourself to marrying a fool?"

Nan Surou smiled silently, as if there was a faint brilliance shining around her.
