TSBFL Chapter 124.5
Chapter 124.5: 行刑
[Execution]
That Private Adviser took a look at that group of people, somehow he found it difficult, turned his head to look at the county magistrate beside him, wanting to see his stance.
The county magistrate frowned at that group of people, see inside are a group of weak & old women and children who will not get anywhere. His frown gradually loosened up, his tone was displeased as he said: “As long as there is no obstacle to law enforcement, give you permission this time.”
“Thank you, Your Excellency!”
The old lady, supported by the girl next to her, tremblingly knelt down and kowtowed to the County Magistrate, then stood up, took a basket from the group of people, and slowly and leisurely came to the high platform where the execution was to take place, and came to Zhao Yuan who was already kneeling there.
Zhao Lao Ye had lost his original luster, his face had aged more than ten years compared to the previous days, and now he saw his mother, who had difficulty with her legs, come to see him off, his voice was full of guilt, “I’m sorry, your son is unfilial ah!”
The old lady, however, did not have any expression, the pair of turbid eyes were full of calmness after experiencing the vicissitudes of the world, she just stretched out her working for years hands, even after a few years of wealth and prosperity, her hands has not become much better, gently touched Zhao Laoye’s head and softly said:
“Son, after drinking this bowl of wine and eating this meal, you can go on your way in peace! In your next life, you will be born into a wealthy family. Mother has wronged you in this life, so don’t go down the wrong path in your next life.”
Hearing his mother’s words, Zhao Lao Ye burst into tears, crying bitterly, “I’m sorry, Mother, it’s all because I’m unfilial, letting you an elder send your son.”
The old lady didn’t say anything, she just took out a small cup of wine and fed it to him from the bamboo basket handed over by the girl next to her, and then gave him a mouthful of rice.
When he finished eating, the executioner beside him couldn’t help but urge and say, “Alright, let’s leave quickly, don’t delay our execution time.”
After driving the old lady away, the executioner stuffed the cloth he had just taken out of Zhao Lao Ye’s mouth back in, making sure that he couldn’t make any more noise.
The old lady finally looked deeply at Zhao Lao Ye, the moment Zhao Lao Ye shouted ‘Mother’ and slowly being supported down, only in the instant of turning around, that pair of cloudy eyes finally could not help but fall into tears.
Chen Xing looked at this scene in front of him, only felt hard to take it (bad or unpleasant), almost moved his silhouette of heart but soon he thought of those things that happened in the Gu family, that sympathy immediately weakened.
If he sympathized with Zhao Lao Ye, then who would sympathize with those members of the Gu family whose souls went to the grave because of Zhao Lao Ye’s momentary greed? The greatest respect for the victim is to let the murder get the same punishment.
Having figured this out, Chen Xing’s eyes became more and more determined.
“Three minutes to noon has arrived, carry out the execution!”
Hearing this voice, Chen Xing’s heart reflexively jumped a few more points, and then his eyes went black, and his ears only heard a clear click, followed by the wailing sound that resonated through the sky.
“Master!”
“Father!”
In the midst of this noise, Chen Xing only felt that the tip of his nose smelled a burst of medicinal fragrance again. Not knowing why, he felt that it was also vaguely mixed with a few points of bamboo fragrance, like the fragrance of the bamboo forest opposite to the window at the back of Gu Lang’s study.
Gu Lang watched with an expressionless face as Zhao Lao Ye’s family members pounced on him, crying and scrambling to pick up the body of Zhao Lao Ye, which was still warm, and put it on the racks that they had prepared long ago, and then carried it in the direction of their home.
Looking at the red stained fabric, and the blood dripping from under the stretcher, gradually snaking into a path.
Gu Lang only had one thought, he felt that the blood was not red enough, at least not as red as the day his house was on fire, he still remembered clearly that the day he left home, the sky was red as if there was no end to it, as if it was going to swallow up everything into nothing.
Gu Lang seems to have heard the screams from his home that day, the endless screams with endless despair, until now it still appears in his dreams from time to time.
Just as the gloom in Gu Lang’s eyes gradually deepened, and he was about to lose control of his own expression, and was about to reveal a distorted look, he suddenly felt something covering the back of his hand, and then a careful and soft voice rang in his ear, “That, is it already over?”
Gu Lang looked down at his hand, likened to kittens who just get out of the nest, wanted to go out, but Chen Xing who was a little afraid, suddenly remembered that he is not alone, he now has Chen Xing, from now on no matter what happens, Chen Xing will stay by his side. From the day they met, they were destined to never part.
Gu Lang gathered up the haze in his entire body and gradually revealed a bright smile, “Hn, it’s already over.”
