The Dark Lord Ye Tian Zi 夜天子 CHAPTER 4
Ye Tian Zi
CHAPTER 4
Yang Lin's Curse
Lao Ye smacked his lips, and warned worriedly: "Then... you can go, but you must be careful on the road, although the world is still peaceful, but the world is dangerous, and people's hearts are even more sinister. , don't go on the road at night, when you meet the neighbors in the wilderness, you must walk with others..."
Old Ye said for a long time, Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but smile: "Dad, I understand, you can rest assured. Although your son has never traveled far, you don't need to worry, where did your son come from? That is the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!
Who are the people in that prison? Which one is not a human being? Since I was a year old, I have often been with my father to guard the heavenly prison, and three years ago I became a prison guard for my father. I have been with these people for so long, how can I be a little bit of virtuous?"
Old Ye was amused by him and scolded with a smile. "Look at what you can do, I have been in prison all my life, why haven't I practiced any martial arts? But you're right, a person must have some ambitions. Dad had ambitions when he was a child, but unfortunately he never realized them in his life."
Ye Xiaotian asked curiously, "What ambition did Dad ever have?"
Old Ye smiled, and he seemed a little embarrassed: "Dad remembers that it was during Old Jiajing's reign. At that time, I was eating a tanghulu on the street when I suddenly caught sight of Old Jiajing Emperor going out on an inspection tour. The Emperor's ceremonial weaponry, then that awe-inspiring bellow…."
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help laughing: "Dad wouldn't have seen such a scene, and he immediately sighed with emotion, saying, 'That's what a man should be' ?"
Lao Ye also smiled, glared at his son and said, "Nonsense! Aren't you afraid of being beheaded if those kind of words are overheard? Besides, how could your old man have such an ambition?"
He sighed, stroked his thigh, and said with regret: "At that time, Dad was standing on the edge of the road, watching the emperor's guard of honor passing by in front of him, eight tall white elephants, four majestic lions, especially the two fierce tigers."
"I was very envious. I just thought, when will I be able to get a tiger to keep it, and I will be majestic when I go out. At that time, your father was stunned by the thought of a tiger. After so many years, your father is already old. This wish it still hadn't come true."
As soon as he said this, I heard a roar from the main room: "You still have a lot to do, and you have learned what you should have taught. Why are you still pissed off and not eating? You have to keep coaxing you from your son? You are old and immortal. Yes, get out of here quickly, if you don't want to eat it, I won't do it in the future!"
Old Ye's expression changed, and he hurriedly responded: "I'm coming. I'm coming. Im coming right now"
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but say: "Father, hasn't your wish already been fulfilled?"
Old Ye was startled for a moment, then immediately understood his son's words, he couldn't help but nodded on his forehead, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy! Let your mother hear and see if she doesn't beat you!
Ye Xiaotian opened the door and walked to the main room, and saw his eldest brother patrolling outside the door, with his father's figure, timidly afraid to enter the room, Ye Xiaotian immediately walked over, took the eldest brother's shoulders, and said affectionately: "Eldest brother, Come on, let's have dinner. Brother accompany you to pick up your sister-in-law after dinner."
Old man Ye glared at his eldest son, but immediately received his wife's staring at him, old man Ye opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, just Angrily, he grabbed a bun and took a bite. Even if he is as majestic as a tiger, he is also afraid of a tigress.
The relationship between Xiaotian's sister-in-law and her husband is still very good, but she hates her husband for being too cowardly and honest. Now that Xiaotian has given up all the jailer's errands to her brother, can she still come back? Because of this, I still feel a little guilty towards my brother-in-law, and when I saw him, I was a little embarrassed.
Ye Xiaotian accompanied his brother and successfully brought his sister-in-law back from her parents' home, so she discussed with her family about going away. Although Ye Dou Shi was fierce towards the old man Ye, she loved her son very much. She was also someone who had never left the city of Beijing, and she wiped away tears when she thought about the suffering that her son might have to suffer when he traveled.
Ye Xiaotian had no choice but to comfort his mother before discussing tomorrow's arrangements with his father and brother. Yang Lin had eaten the "decapitation meal" tonight, not because he was going to be executed tonight, but because there was no time for him to enjoy it slowly in the morning.
Early in the morning, he was about to be escorted to the prison cart, and he would be parading with the other prisoners in this issue. When the old ox broke the cart and dragged him to the court, it was almost noon. Therefore, Ye Xiaotian had to rush to the prison earlier in order to obtain Yang Lin's suicide note.
Early the next morning, the three of Ye's father and son left the house. The father and son have their own divisions of labor, and Father Ye went to the county inspector to apply for the way for his son. In fact, during the Wanli period, the flow of people was not as strict as it was in the early Ming Dynasty, but there was a way to guide you, and it was less troublesome to pass through customs and live in stores. Brothers Ye Xiaotian and Ye Xiaoan went straight to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the two had to hand over the messenger.
Early in the morning, there were not many pedestrians on the streets. Handymen carrying toilets, vegetable farmers pulling vegetables into the city, and sparse cars slowly walking on the streets of Beijing...
Ye Xiaotian could see this scene every day, but today he saw it. Extra gracious, because he knew that it would be impossible to see all this again for a long time. In his heart, Jingzhou Mansion on Huguang Road, it really exists like the end of the world!
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
In a cell in Xuanzi No. 1 Prison, Yang Lin sat in the corner with his knees on his knees, staring blankly at the skylight above his head.The shiny little stones that he often used to deduce Zhou Yi and had been touched by his palm lay quietly at his feet.
Ye Xiaotian walked to the cell and looked at him quietly across the fence for a while before calling out, "Master Yang!"
Yang Lin heard the call, raised his head slowly, and looked at him with confused eyes, the focus of his eyes didn't fall on him at all. Ye Xiaotian frowned and said softly, "Master Yang, I agreed to that matter!"
With just this sentence, it was like a withered grass suddenly sucking up enough rainwater, and Yang Lin, whose life seemed to be withered, suddenly glowed. With an indescribable spirit, he quickly rushed to the fence and asked excitedly, "You agree? You really agree?"
Ye Xiaotian nodded, put down a box in his hand, and said, "Paper ink The pen and inkstone are all inside, please hurry up, sir, someone will come to send you on the road."
This sentence seems a bit cruel, but now is not the time to be euphemistic, because the officials who sent Yang Lin on the road I have already come, just to see Ye Xiaotian's face, wait outside for a while, Ye Xiaotian also spent a tea money for this.
Yang Lin nodded hastily, opened the box with his trembling old hands, took pen, ink, paper and inkstone into the cell, flattened a piece of paper, picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, just staring, tears poured down like rain.
Ye Xiaotian didn't urge him any more, he wasn't hypocritical, but it was undoubtedly too cruel to urge him again at this time. Fortunately, Yang Lin also knew that there was not much time, so he didn't delay for too long, so he started to write while holding back tears.
A letter was almost written like a cloud of water. Yang Lin carefully blew the suicide note stained by tears, carefully folded it, turned around and came to the fence, and said to Ye Xiaotian, "The detailed address for sending the letter has been written. On the cover, the benefits promised to you are also written in it."
Ye Xiaotian nodded, put the letter in his arms, lifted the box, and said to Yang Lin, "Farewell!”
“Wait a minute!”
Yang Lin suddenly stretched out his hand again and grasped Ye Xiaotian's wrist, with a trace of ferocity in his eyes.
Ye Xiaotian frowned and said, "What else do you want to tell me?"
Yang Lin suddenly bit his finger and used his blood to draw three weird blood stains on Ye Xiaotian's wrist, muttering in his mouth a language that Ye Xiaotian didn't understand at all.
Ye Xiaotian didn't struggle. He watched Yang Lin apply a smear on his wrist in a daze, and he had words in his mouth. When he finished all this, he asked suspiciously: "It's just a letter. Is it necessary to be so cautious, but I don't know what kind of blessing secret method is used by Master Yang?"
Yang Lin let out a long sigh, and a strange smile appeared on his thin cheeks: "Who said this is the secret method of blessing? This is a kind of nightmare curse technique that the old man learned from Southern Xinjiang. It uses blood as the medium, life as the medium, and deathbed grievances as the guide. It can only be used once in his life!"
Ye Xiaotian was even more surprised when he heard this, and said, "Curse Nightmare? I thought it was a talisman, are you there? I drew and painted on my wrist, who is this trying to curse?"
Yang Lin rolled his eyes and said, "Drawing on you, of course, curses you!"
This time Ye Xiaotian was really stunned. After a long while, Ye Xiaotian jumped up suddenly and said angrily: "Curse me??"
Yang Lin sneered, "Don't worry, as long as you keep your promise, this curse will never take effect. But if you make a blunder and fail to fulfill my will..."
Yang Lin's voice became gloomy: "No matter what. Whether you have intention or no intention, as long as you don't do what you promised me, this curse will take effect immediately, and you will be trapped for the rest of your life from now on, everything will be divorced, your wife and children will be separated, and you will not end well!"
Yang Lin's voice was gloomy. , in this dimly lit, cold air, there is a very special mysterious smell, as if there is a cold air current, which has been infiltrating people's hearts.
Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but let out a laugh: "Come on, my Lord Yang is about to die, you still believe in this kind of mess. You didn't say when you touched my bones before, my fate is extremely high. You can curse me?"
Yang Lin suddenly realized, patted his forehead and said, "Yes! This old man almost forgot about this! Can't curse you, can't curse you, um... Then the old man will change it. A curse, I curse you, whoever you follow will be unlucky!"
Ye Xiaotian asked strangely, "It's none of my business if others are unlucky?"
Yang Lin sneered: "No matter what line of business you do, you always have to worship seniors, Looking for a backer? If you study, your teacher will be unlucky. If you are in business, your backer will be unlucky. If you want to be an official, your backstage will be unlucky. Whoever you follow will be unlucky. Bad luck?"
Ye Xiaotian was speechless, and after a long while he sincerely said to Yang Lin, "Mr. Yang!"
"Huh?"
"Although you and I are not relatives and have no friendship, but you came here three years ago, and I am also three years old. I came in a few years ago and lived under the same roof for so long, and now that you are about to suffer this knife, I feel very uncomfortable."
Yang Lin was moved: "I see people's hearts after a long time, the old man has been in prison for three years, all the old friends are gone, and the relatives are also gone. When I leave, I can still have you in my mind, and the old man is a little comforted."
Ye Xiaotian gently held his hand and said affectionately, "But now I really hope that last year, today was the day of sacrifice..."
