Chapter 35 Black Island
However, his harsh words did not scare the prisoners, but instead angered them.

The other party grabbed him and pressed him to the ground, then started punching and kicking him mercilessly.

"Who do you think you are? You used to be a scholar, and we might have given you a chance to show respect for you. But now you are just a prisoner, a weakling. I will beat you to death, and you can only blame yourself for your bad luck!"

"It seems that he was not beaten enough in the cell every day. This made him brave enough to imitate others and save the damsel in distress!"

Maomao: “…”

This kid doesn't have any ability at all. He just came out to get beaten, right?
Mo Han curled up into a ball, not saying a word, letting them beat, kick and step on him. The cabin was small and those who were afraid of trouble stayed far away. The only sound was the "clang!" "clang!" of the chains rubbing against each other.

While everyone's attention was focused on this one-sided fight, a small paper figure was quietly and silently attached to the back of a burly man who was in the lead.

In an instant, the burly man seemed to be possessed by a ghost and suddenly punched the man next to him.

"W-what are you doing? Are you crazy?"

The man who was beaten for no reason roared, but was directly hit by a punch and his nose was broken. He raised his head in pain and bleed from his nose.

What followed was an indiscriminate attack. All the prisoners who participated in the beating of Mo Han were chased and beaten by this burly man with a dull look.

His strength was incredibly great at this moment, and several people couldn't stop him. He couldn't even feel the pain.

Others hit him, smashed him, and kicked him, but nothing could stop him.

The scene was in chaos and Xu Shanshan walked up to Mo Han.

He was dizzy from being kicked in the head and was lying on the ground, his hair was a mess like a chicken coop, his clothes were torn into pieces, his mouth and eyes were broken, and his body was covered with all kinds of red and purple bruises.

Xu Shanshan lowered her eyes and looked at him: "This person... is quite interesting."

Maomao rolled his eyes and complained, "What's so interesting about this? Is it more interesting to overestimate your own abilities or to lie down and get beaten?"

"No, he is destined to have a career in government. He is a natural born official with a powerful personality."

"he?"

"Yes, that's him."

Unlike Liu Shiyou, Liu Shiyou had an opportunity for a career in officialdom, which was purely based on chance. If he lost it, there would be no possibility again.

But this person is different, he relies on his own strength. Even if he falls to the bottom countless times, he will still persevere and climb to the top. Of course... if he is still alive.

"Shan, do you feel a desire to cherish talents and want to send them to the country?"

"That's the plan."

As a great national teacher, discovering and recruiting talents can barely be considered her job.

Nowadays, there are many problems in Jing State, with seven kings in rebellion and the Xie family eyeing it covetously. Since the corruption in Jing State is gradually expanding and no one in the court can be trusted or used, we might as well start a new "stove".

Rather than improving, correcting and rescuing the rotten internal environment step by step, she would rather take a one-size-fits-all approach and start establishing a new environment of rules and order.

She pulled out a medicine bottle from her body and pressed it into his hand.

The sudden coolness in his hand made Mo Han open his eyes suddenly.

His eyelids were swollen and he saw Xu Shanshan through a tiny gap.

Then he slowly moved his eyes and looked at the bottle in his hand. He said hoarsely, "What is this?"

"vulnerary."

"I don't need it, keep it for yourself."

"Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future. You will need it in the future," she said. Xu Shanshan went to Hei Dao to settle his debt with Xu Shanshan and Xu Shuishui. They must have had a hard time after falling into that kind of place.

But as long as the person is not dead, she can save him, and it is necessary to carry some medicine with her.

Mo Han had not paid much attention to the only woman among the prisoners on the ship.

He saved her not out of kindness, but because he felt that life was meaningless. However, he could not commit suicide, so he could only provoke others to beat him to death.

But when he met that pair of calm and self-controlled dark eyes, he inexplicably felt that perhaps she didn't need him to meddle in her affairs.

"What are you making a fuss about! I told you to get up and work, but you started fighting. You are so energetic, right? You like fighting, right? Come on, then practice with my soldiers!"

An angry shout was heard, and an officer and his men entered the cabin.

He came here to check on Xu Shanshan's condition, but he never expected to see the cabin in a mess.

Xu Shanshan was fine and was just standing there watching the show, but the prisoners were fighting with each other. He was so angry that he called the soldiers.

The officers and soldiers all held short sticks in their hands and started beating the men.

They were beaten until they wailed and fell to the ground.

Xu Shanshan stood there without moving. An officer with a fierce look on his face raised his stick and started to attack her regardless of gender.

She glanced at the officer, and he immediately shouted, "Stop!"

The officers and soldiers, panting, stopped.

Mo Han was just trying to get up, and when she saw these soldiers beating an innocent woman without any reason, she wanted to stand up and block the way for her.

But he inadvertently saw the look Xu Shanshan gave the officer.

Jing Li contained an edge that could penetrate people's hearts. He was intimidating without being angry. Even though he didn't say a word, his expression changed just by looking at the officer's face.

Mo Han once met a minister from the capital who came to the academy to comfort the students. As he held a high position, his face naturally had a sense of majesty that could not be offended.

But his appearance was obvious and his fierceness was palpable.

But this female prisoner was different. She was shining and thrilling. She had a sense of submission and oppression that was far above her identity, status, and power, and it made people unable to resist.

Who is she and why has she fallen to this point?
The ship escorting the criminals sailed on the line for nearly two days before finally arriving at Black Island.

In a blue world, the black island stands quietly.

The area of ​​Black Island looks large, but there are few lush green tropical plants, and even few grasses. The bare rocky cliffs are cold and dangerous.

It is not difficult to guess what the environment is like. There is no shade or shelter from the rain. It is extremely cold in winter and extremely hot in summer. Once people enter the Black Island, they will truly suffer torture.

You don’t need to wear handcuffs and leg shackles when you enter the Black Island, because once you enter, it will be like entering a purgatory.

Xu Shanshan looked up and saw a lot of people appearing on the coastline of the island. They had dark skin, unkempt hair and dirty faces, and looked like a group of savages who ate raw meat.

Especially their eyes, which were like a pack of wolves in the night, full of hunting malice and cruelty. Even the prisoners who had always committed many evil deeds outside could not help but feel a chill in their hearts when they saw them.

"I, I don't want to go to Black Island, I want to go back, please, let me go back!"

"Go back? I advise you to go down quickly. It's best to integrate with them, because from now on, this island will be your home."

The waves hit the rocks on the shore, making a series of noisy sounds. In the air blown by the wind, Xu Shanshan smelled a lingering smell of blood.
