Chapter 106
If a person is starved for a few days, how long is the limit of the person's body?
It is said that men can starve for three days and three nights, while women are said to be able to hold on for seven days and seven nights. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Whether this is true or false, it is estimated that except for those who have done this experiment, I am afraid that few people can say it clearly.
But now Jia Lian estimates that he can also say it clearly.
Zhou Rui's family and her side, the two people who served her, have been serving for three days, and everyone has never seen them.
On the entire official ship, except for the ship's family who came to ask once or twice, no one opened their mouths to ask where Zhou Rui's family went.
The night was already very deep, almost to the point where I couldn't see my fingers. The entire ship was silent, and most of the people fell into a deep sleep.
Occasionally, you can hear one or two sounds of birds "croaking" at night, but these are very infiltrating in this quiet night.
The river slapped on the side of the boat, making a "bang, bang" sound, as if someone was banging on the bottom of the boat with his hand, and the sound was not loud enough, but it seemed very dull.
The sky was dark and dark, and the only light was the lantern that hung on the ship's pole to guide the way.
The night wind whistled and whirred, and it went straight into the necks of people. Jia Lian wrapped the thin fur cloak on his body and walked towards the bottom of the cabin without saying a word.
Not far behind Jia Lian, Jia X dutifully followed, even the lantern in his hand, which did not shake it.
It was a five-story ship, and except for the highest floor, there were no people, but the people of the boat's family looked out from a high place, so that it was convenient to take the helm.
The fourth floor is inhabited by two girls, Lin Daiyu and Zhou Muqing, and the third floor is where Jia Lian, Zhou Mufeng and Liu Xianglian live.
Because Zhou Rui's family, in the Rongguo Mansion, as Mrs. Wang's right-hand man, has a lot of face in front of these masters.
Jia Lian was in charge, and did not let Zhou Rui's family live on the fourth floor with other shipwrights and guards, but lived on the third floor with Jia Lian.
As for the cabin on the lowest floor, it did not look very crowded except for the cargo of some officials.
In a very secluded room on the ground floor, Zhou Rui's family and her two maids were tightly tied up and locked in this room.
It's been three whole days, and no one has come to see them or asked them anything since they were tied up and locked up in this room.
In the past three days, it was their most instinctive physiological reactions, which were also solved in this room, but none of them cared about them.
Because they have been hungry for three days and three nights, the three members of Zhou Rui's family can't lift up their strength at all.
Except for when he was locked in at the beginning, Zhou Rui's family showed a trace of backbone, and now he has been locked up for three full days, and the little backbone at the beginning is now gone.
The silence could only be heard, the river lapping against the bottom of the cabin on the side of the boat, but now there was a "crunch, crunch" of footsteps on the wooden planks.
Zhou Rui's family is now dizzy from hunger, and he almost wonders if he heard it wrong.
In the past three days, they have not thought about asking for help, but the first person was tied, just like a zongzi, and his mouth was tightly gagged.
It's the bottom of this cabin, and no one comes down and walks around for a few days, which is a normal thing. They haven't even seen a ghost, but who can they turn to for help?
Now I suddenly heard footsteps and thought, Zhou Ruijia really didn't think much about it, who came down.
He just slammed his body against the wooden walls of this room, hoping that someone would hear the sound and save him.
Although Zhou Ruijia's mouth was blocked with cotton cloth, it kept making a "woo, woo" sound, but the two maids were awakened by Zhou Ruijia's movements, and they also followed the same action.
So in this room, at the moment it was opened, Zhou Rui's family and her two maids looked at Jia Lian standing outside the door, it was an inexplicable surprise.
Zhou Rui's family is now full of gratitude to Jia Lian. In her eyes, Second Master Lian is now like a person who rescues suffering, Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Zhou Rui's family had been starved for three days, and his brain was almost mushy, and now he couldn't remember the reason why he was locked up in this place.
Some are just happy and excited to see the surprise of Jia Lian's appearance here, and the one who is about to be rescued, there is no longer a threat to his life, and he finally saves his life.
The moment Jia Qi opened the door, a foul smell directly made Jia Lian feel like he was about to faint.
Hurriedly taking a few steps back, Jia Lian took out the handkerchief he was carrying, and suddenly covered his exposed mouth and nose.
Jia Lian didn't have much thought about the surprise and excitement that the three masters and servants of Zhou Rui's family threw at him.
It seems that he is in Rongguo Mansion on weekdays, and he looks high, and he has to call "Sister Zhou" when he sees him.
Now like a bedbug, he can decide her life and death, Jia Lian only felt a burst of happiness in his heart.
The three masters and servants of Zhou Rui's family thought that with Jia Lian's appearance, they would be able to escape, and they were excited for a while.
But after a long time, Second Master Lian and his entourage just looked at the three of them coldly, and they didn't have the slightest intention, and they wanted to come over to help them loosen their ties and let the three of them be free.
Even if you are sluggish, you can now feel that something is wrong.
Zhou Rui's family has thought about a lot of possibilities, maybe it is the Zhou sister and brother, maybe it is Liu Xianglian, and even Lin Daiyu, who is sick, she has also guessed.
Only Jia Lian, the second master of Lian, and the matter of Zhou Rui's family, have never thought about it.
Based on Jia Lian's usual performance in Rongguo's mansion, he can't wait to treat his second wife as his own mother.
As the second wife's companion, his right-hand man is also a face-worthy person beside the second wife.
Jia Lian has a lot of respect for himself, and sometimes he even brings a little bit of flattery.
Zhou Rui's family really couldn't imagine that the one who caught himself and locked him up would be Jia Lian, who he couldn't even look down on on weekdays.
Regarding the change in Zhou Ruijia's eyes, Jia Yuche naturally saw it, but now that everything has been done, is it possible that he will let Zhou Ruijia go?
Motioning to Jia Qi, the three members of Zhou Rui's family were dragged out of the house and thrown directly into the icy river water, which was very clean.
