The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 55 Partridge (9)

I stared at him blankly, thinking that the bird had said a lot just now, but unfortunately I didn't understand a word.Wu You muttered to the sky for a while, at this time Gu Yue and Jindi finished talking, and returned to his daily corner, Wu You also walked over there when seeing this.

Everyone also passed around Gu Yue. It seemed that they were going to decide who would be taken away by the ghost.Wu You didn't participate in the previous two draws, and no one called him.This time, when Gu Yue took out the bamboo branch, he walked to Gu Yue's side, as if he wanted to participate, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

Wu You stared straight at the bamboo branch in Gu Yue's hand without saying a word. When everyone started smoking, he stretched out his hand abruptly and took one from Gu Yue's hand.Gu Yue had already seen through that I was helping Qin Jian to investigate, so I didn't participate, I just stood there and watched them.

Everyone finished smoking, and began to show the bamboo branches in their hands. Wu You watched everyone raise their hands, and followed suit.I glanced at him, and suddenly my heart tightened. What he was holding was actually the one I broke last time.Because this bamboo branch was broken by me, it looks very short, which can be seen without comparison.

Everyone was looking at the bamboo branch in his hand, and Wu You tilted his head to look at it for a while, and then suddenly said: "It's right, I really deserve to die."

When he said this, his face was full of tranquility, but I was a little stunned. That bird expected him to draw the shortest bamboo branch?

The scene that happened next was very familiar, everyone came up one after another and gave him their most precious things as compensation.Probably because Wu You didn't smoke, everyone gave them all kinds of things, including a thread-bound book that was torn apart, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses with a broken foot, and even a scabbard for a dagger, which must have been taken by Qin Jian. It was taken away, leaving only the sheath.

Wu You took the things one by one, couldn't put it down, put on the gold-rimmed glasses with the broken leg, and pretended to read the book there.However, the glasses have only one foot, so they must be held with one hand to wear them.Wu You fiddled with it for a long time, tilting his head and wrinkling his nose, but the glasses still couldn't stay on his nose.When he got angry, he ran up to a person, stretched out his hand towards him, and looked at him straight without saying a word.

I didn't know what he was going to do, when the face of the man in front of him changed, and he glanced towards Gu Yue.Gu Yue thought for a while, then nodded to him.The man reached in and took something out of his arms, and handed it to Wu You.Wu You took the thing, immediately became happy, and put it on the side of the glasses.

It turned out that the man gave him a pair of glasses legs.I was surprised and surprised, because I could see very clearly from the side, it was not this person who gave Wu You the glasses at that time.That being the case, then how could this broken spectacle leg be on his body? What's the use of him hiding this leg?

And it seemed that everyone knew that the glasses legs were on him, and when he took them out to Wu You, he even asked Gu Yue for instructions.Is there anything unusual about this spectacle leg?I was puzzled, so I looked at the man again, I saw that he was nearly fifty years old, very thin, wearing a gray and old robe, with two mouse whiskers hanging around his lips.

Originally, he looked thin and peaceful, but because of the two wisps of mouse whiskers around his lips, he suddenly added a hint of obscenity, making him look like a teacher and a shameless rat.I stared at him for a while, but didn't see anything unusual about him, so I turned my head away.

Wu You kept fiddling with the things everyone gave him, until he sighed when he was about to eat, and returned the things one by one. Every time he returned something, he solemnly said to the person: "Remember, This is what I gave you."

This move is undoubtedly extremely childish, but everyone is grateful to him.I watched it there for a long time and couldn't help but smile wryly.On the one hand, they knew that he would not survive tonight, but gave him all kinds of unnecessary things;This back and forth is like a joke, I don't know what these people are thinking.

Of course, there may be feelings that I can't understand. I haven't been imprisoned with them for ten years, and it's hard to guess. At this time, seeing that the guards were already calling them to the dining hall, I followed them.As expected during the meal, everyone allocated their meat dishes to Wu You.

When Qin Jian came in and saw this scene, his eyes widened suddenly, and he walked up to him and asked, "You got the shortest bamboo branch today?"

Wu You looked up at him, with a naive expression, and replied, "Yes. I'm going to hell. Look, they're all giving me meat."

"But, haven't you never participated in the game?" Qin Jian rarely showed an expression on his face, looking a little puzzled.

Wu You answered him solemnly: "Because I deserve to die."

"Who said you should die?" Qin Jian said angrily.

Wu You pointed to the sky, and started talking nonsense again: "I lied to it, I deserve to die."

Qin Jian was also confused like me, looked up at the roof, there was nothing on it, only a hurrying spider crawled past, "Who did you lie to?"

Wu You didn't want to say any more, just buried his head in eating meat, and muttered in his mouth: "I won't tell you. I want to eat meat."

Qin Jian came over and sat down opposite me, and took a look at me.I shook my head at him, indicating that I didn't know what was going on.Qin Jian thought for a long time, then suddenly said: "Tonight Gu Yue is still in that room last night, you go back to the cell."

He still wanted to isolate Gu Yue, hoping that no one would be taken away if Gu Yue was not in the cell.Let me go back to the cell, because I want me to observe the cell.I glanced at him and replied, "Okay. But I don't think it's going to do any good."

When night fell, Gu Yue was taken directly to that small separate room, and I walked towards the cell together with everyone.Unexpectedly, just as I was stepping into the cell, several inmates suddenly rushed up to me, and directly pressed me under them.

I was suddenly thrown down by them, startled in my heart, and immediately yelled, and several guards hurried over and pulled the people on me away, and sternly reprimanded them.After those people stood up, you looked at me and you, laughed a few times, then walked into their own cells with their heads scratched, looking like they were playing with me.

Seeing that they were not causing trouble, the guards stopped pestering them.On the contrary, I was at a loss, unable to recover for a while.After I watched them walk past, I went to search for Wu You, but found that he was no longer in my sight. I was shocked and suddenly remembered something.

On the night when Lao Yao was taken away, Gu Yue also stopped me from behind, and said a few words to me without pain. When I turned my head again, Lao Yao was no longer in my sight .It's the same now, suddenly someone threw me down, and when I got up, Wu You was no longer in my sight.

These people are deliberately interfering with my sight, and they don't want me to watch Lao Yao and Wu You walk in!

Could it be that those people who were taken away by the ghost never entered their own cells, so they disappeared without a trace in the cell the next day?
I thought of Wu You's yell in the cell last night because I went to the wrong cell, and a thought slowly came to my mind. I couldn't help trembling, but also a little excited. Take a look in front of Yuu's cell.The guards must have known that Qin Jian asked me to observe the prison, so they really brought me to Wu You's cell.

I quickly sorted out the matter on the way past, and I was already a little certain in my heart. Except for the method I thought of, there was no other way to make a person disappear from the cell without a trace.The guard in front stopped, pointed to the third cell on the same side as me, and indicated that this was Wu You's cell.

There were three people living in this cell, and the cell door was locked. All three of them were lying on the bed, hugging the quilt sideways, and it was impossible to see who was who.The guard saw that I wanted to see the people inside again, so he called them through the cell door.Two of them sat up from the bed, and there was one with two mouse whiskers, the one who gave Wu You glasses legs during the day.

I looked at the guard, and the guard nodded, indicating that these two people are indeed in this cell.But there was another person on the innermost side who was always lying on the bed, no matter how the guard called, he would not move.Seeing this, I became more and more sure of my guess, took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in my heart, and said to one of the guards: "Go and call Qin Jian and tell him that there has never been a ghost in the cell. The one in the cell, isn't it?" Wu You!"

The two guards were shocked when they heard this, and they glanced at each other. One of them ran out quickly, and the other yelled many times at the prison, but the people on the bed still ignored him.The guard also felt that something was wrong at this time, and asked me: "I clearly saw Wu You coming in. If the one in the prison is not Wu You, then where is Wu You?"

I pointed at the other cells and said, "If I guessed right, he should be in another cell."

Just as I was talking, Qin Jian had already rushed over and asked me: "Have you discovered the truth of the matter?"

I nodded and said, "Wu You is not in his own cell—no wonder he went to the wrong cell and yelled last night!"

Qin Jian didn't understand what I was saying for a while, but just ordered the guard to open the door, and then walked in first.We followed him and filed in. When we got to the bed closest to the inside, the man was still lying motionless on the bed, as if he was asleep.

I was a little funny in my heart. Could it be that we can't find out that he is not Wu You by pretending to be asleep?Just thinking about it, Qin Jian stepped forward and lifted the quilt, and the person on the bed immediately jumped up from the bed, yelling at us.Although he scolded him in all kinds of ways, he could only sum it up in two sentences, that is, those who disturbed him to sleep were bastards, and the one who lifted his quilt was a rotten egg.

He scolded loudly, and I was dumbfounded when I heard it, because the person on the bed was exactly Wu You, and he just didn't say a word just because he was too lazy to talk to us.So, all my guesses about this were wrong?

Qin Jian was calm under Wu You's scolding, unscathed, and just looked at me with consulting eyes.My face turned red, and I could no longer speak out the conjectures in my heart.Qin Jian nodded, knowing that I was wrong, she took me out of the cell without saying anything, and asked the guards to take me to his own cell.

When I returned to my room, I was still ashamed and sat down on the bed, but I couldn't figure it out. I couldn't think of any other way to make people disappear out of thin air other than what I had speculated in my mind.Could it be that all this is really caused by ghosts?I gradually began to waver.

After thinking for a long time, I only came to this conclusion. I couldn't help but secretly angry with myself. The fear of ghosts in my heart was diluted a lot, so I closed my eyes and prepared to rest for a while, and waited until midnight to go to the fence. , How on earth did that ghost take Wu You away.However, Wu You's room is in the same row as mine, and from here I can only see a little area beside the fence.

I felt a little regretful in my heart. Since I was going to explore this matter, I should have stayed in Wu You's cell at that time and witnessed the ghost take Wu You away with my own eyes.But with the incident just now, I just had no face to stay there.As I thought about it, time slipped through the gaps in my thoughts, and when I remembered it, it was almost midnight.
