Zhou Ying was woken up by the sound of sobs very close, and the back of her head ached faintly, and she struggled to lift her eyelids.

It was Zhou Jue who sat in front of her and cried, and after finding that she woke up, Zhou Jue was happy and aggrieved, "Sister, you woke up." ”

Rao is Zhou Ying was scared and panicked in her heart, and when she met the younger Zhou Jue, she could only force all her uneasiness and comforted: "Don't be afraid, there is a sister here." Zhou Ying supported the ground with one hand, sat up with difficulty, took Zhou Jue into her arms, and looked around.

The view is a small and dark room, separated by a fence. The ceiling and walls were made of loess, there were no windows, and the air was very turbid with a foul smell of urine. Just take a breath, and it makes people faintly sick.

It was apparently a makeshift cell.

On one side of the wooden fence is the place where the detainees are held, and on the other side is the guard's territory.

Not only Zhou Ying's sister and brother were locked up, but also seven or eight children, both men and women, the common point is that they are beautiful and have delicate skin, even if they are not pampered, at least they are the kind that have no worries about food and clothing, and do not have to work hard. But now they were all dirty, their eyes were evasive, they didn't dare to look at anyone, and they huddled in the corner like little animals that had only been hurt.

On the other side of the guard's field, it was clean, with tables and chairs, and a simple bed.

On the chair sat a short and fat woman, about forty years old, with Erlang's legs crossed, gnawing on pig's trotters, drinking wine, humming vulgar slang songs that were not in tune, squinting a pair of slitted eyes, and looking at Zhou Ying, who had just sat up.

Zhou Ying pursed her lips and subconsciously hugged Zhou Jue.

The short and fat woman finished gnawing the tendons on the pig's trotters, licked her fingers, walked to the fence, looked at Zhou Ying like a breeding pig, and said in surprise: "Look at this Peugeot's small appearance, it can be sold for a good price." ”

Zhou Ying's heart was pinched, and she couldn't help but want to ask, but she saw that the short and fat woman turned around directly, moved a ladder from the corner of the wall, shook her fat body, climbed up to the roof, took a bunch of keys from her waist, and opened a secret door on the ceiling.

The light from outside came in, stinging people's eyes. Without waiting for Zhou Ying's eyes to get used to it, the secret door closed again.

It depends on the situation, it's still daytime outside. Zhou Ying thought about it in her heart and asked, "Xiao Jue, how long has my sister been in a coma?" ”

Zhou Jue thought for a while and whispered, "That woman has delivered three meals, at least for a whole day." ”

It's been so long, Emperor Xu Guiren should already know the news of her and Zhou Jue's disappearance, I don't know if the Imperial Forest Army has found out their whereabouts, the jewelry she deliberately left in that flower pot, and I don't know if I can bring them clues.

Thinking of those jewelry, Zhou Ying remembered a few things hidden on her body, and touched her body by Zhou Jue's cover, and found that everything she hid on her body was gone, and she asked Zhou Jue about it in a low voice. Zhou Jue pouted and said, "That woman has been searched." Then he lowered his voice, "All that's left is my golden hairpin hidden in my shoes, and my sister's pair of jade ears, do you want it now?" ”

Saying that, Zhou Jue reached out and was about to take it out, but Zhou Ying held his hand, "No, you can keep it." ”

Children generally don't bother and hide on Zhou Jue's body, which is safer than Zhou Ying's here.

Zhou Ying asked again: "Xiao Jue, tell my sister what happened after my sister fell into a coma." ”

Zhou Jue remembered yesterday's scene, and shrank into Zhou Ying's arms in fear, "That villain knocked my sister unconscious with a stick, and put my sister and I in a sack, carrying me I don't know how far." When I was released, it was already this place. ”

Hearing Zhou Jue's description, Zhou Ying probably understood the scene that day.

Suddenly, the secret door on the ceiling clicked open, and the first to come down was a lean middle-aged man, whose face was so thin that there was no flesh, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and a treacherous appearance.

The short and fat woman wiped the chair with her sleeve and poured another cup of tea, "Cai Ye, sit down." ”

Cai Ye sat down solemnly and said, "Sister-in-law Wu, go and bring the two newcomers over." ”

Sister-in-law Wu nodded and took off the key, and was about to open the prison door, when someone suddenly came out of the crowd, stopped in front of Sister-in-law Wu, and bent down to Cai Ye and said: "Cai Ye, these two little cubs are very bad, let me come." ”

Cai Ye nodded in response, "Sister-in-law Wu retreats, let Hu San come." ”

Zhou Ying looked up and saw Hu San's back, but she didn't recognize who he was, and when she lowered her head, she saw that he had gauze wrapped around his right hand, which was wrapped into a zongzi, and couldn't help but gasp. This Hu San is the man who was stabbed by her with a golden hairpin.

Sure enough, when Hu San turned his head, his dark face was the iconic pair of three white eyes.

Hu San opened the cell door with a gloomy smile, he was tall and strong, as soon as he got into the prison door, the prison suddenly became even more cramped, and the other children scrambled to shrink back as if they had encountered a natural enemy, leaving Zhou Ying's sister and brother empty.

Zhou Ying endured her trembling body, stood up, and protected Zhou Jue behind her.

Hu San smiled and said, "Little slut, aren't you so powerful that you can stab people?" Aren't you still running? You're going to give me another fucking run. As he spoke, Hu San grabbed Zhou Ying's hair, lifted her feet off the ground, and slammed Zhou Ying to the ground.

Zhou Ying's scalp was about to be peeled off, and her eyes were black in pain, and when she was fallen, there was a straw and then it was relieved.

However, before she could react, she was hit hard in the abdomen, and the pain instantly made her internal organs displace, and then, a burst of punches and kicks like raindrops on her soft chest, abdomen, and back made her scream.

Hu San kicked and kicked while venting his anger, and scolded and scolded, "Dare to stab you Hu Sanye, fucking you are ...... to be beaten"

Zhou Jue on the side was so frightened that he cried, but he still endured his fear, plucked up the courage to pull Hu San's clothes, and cried and begged: "Don't beat my sister, please, don't beat my sister......"

Hu San was annoyed by Zhou Jue's quarrel, raised his foot and kicked Zhou Jue away, "Get out of the way." ”

Zhou Jue was kicked and flew to the corner, his crying stopped, and he nested there, not getting up for a long time.

Cai Yeqing coughed twice, "Hu San, it's almost enough." You tossed people to death, and let the brothers do this vote in vain? ”

Hu San kicked Zhou Ying again, and then smiled: "Don't worry, Cai Ye, I have a sense of proportion here, and I won't kill people." Seeing that Cai Ye didn't blame again, Hu San knew that it was okay, so he bent down and took Zhou Ying and Zhou Jue out of the cell.

Cai Ye looked at Zhou Ying and asked Sister-in-law Wu, "What about the two of them?" ”

Sister-in-law Wu muttered, "That's how it was when I came." ”

Cai Ye narrowed his eyes and elongated his tone, "These two are dressed in silk, embroidered boots on their feet, thin skin and tender flesh on their bodies, and there is no callus on their hands...... Sister-in-law Wu, is this possible? ”

Sister-in-law Wu was reluctant to take out a small bag from under the bed, untie it and put it on the table, "It's all here." ”

There are not many pieces in the baggage, but everything is a treasure, like Zhou Ying's butterfly bead double-strand hairpin, Dongzhu tortoiseshell, like Zhou Jue's warm jade purple gourd, eight treasures purple gold crown...... But they are all rare treasures on the market.

Cai Ye looked at the light source one by one, the light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he smiled and asked Sister-in-law Wu to help Zhou Ying up.

Zhou Ying moved slightly, and she was in a cold sweat in pain, and there was a smell of blood in her throat, for fear that she would hurt her internal organs. Zhou Jue eased up first, reached out to hold Zhou Ying's arm, and stayed next to Zhou Ying, not daring to leave a single step.

Cai Ye smiled and said, "Little girl, are you literate?" ”

Just now, Sister-in-law Wu was saying that she was going to sell her for money, but now Cai Ye has changed her words. Zhou Ying endured the pain, looked at it intently, and saw a ball of jewels on the table, which made the whole room a little brighter, and her heart suddenly understood.

Obviously, the wealth is moving, and this Cai Ye probably wants to extort a sum of money.

That's not a bad idea.

Even if they are sold to the Qinglou, they will be sold for one or two hundred taels of silver. But the hairpin ring jewelry they wear every day, there are hundreds of thousands of taels in just one, if they really ask for ransom, I am afraid they are willing to give millions of taels, not more than turning over to the Qinglou to make more money?

It would be good if it could be redeemed.

But no matter what, Zhou Ying can't let her handwriting fall on the paper in this situation, leaving a legacy behind.

Zhou Ying bit her lip and said, "I can't read." ”

Cai Ye pointed to the hairpin ring jewelry on the table, "Your family still lacks money to hire a teacher?" ”

Zhou Ying replied: "The family believes that women are virtuous if they are not talented, and my sisters and I don't read and write, but only learn some female red embroidery." ”

Cai Ye looked at Zhou Jue and smiled kindly, "Little master, do you know how to write?" ”

Zhou Jue was so frightened that he hid behind Zhou Ying's legs and didn't dare to say a word. Zhou Ying's heart was relieved, and she held Zhou Jue's shoulder with her backhand, "My brother is only five years old this year, and he has not yet entered school, and he has not had time to learn to write." ”

Cai Ye frowned, and ignored the two useless guys. He pondered for a long time, took a warm jade purple gourd from the table, and gave the person behind him another look, and the man stepped forward to pack up his baggage.

Cai Ye said: "Sister-in-law Wu, these two good students look at it, don't let them die." ”

Sister-in-law Wu watched the burden being taken away, pursed her lips, and muttered: "Hu San can't die if he kicks it like that, and his life is big." ”

Cai Ye knew that Sister-in-law Wu was dissatisfied, so he took out a piece of silver from his arms and threw it into Sister-in-law Wu's arms, "Sister-in-law Wu has worked hard and made great achievements, I remember it here." Seeing that Sister-in-law Wu took the silver happily, Cai Ye said again, "Rub some bone-setting ointment on that girl, if she really dies, we will lose." ”

Sister-in-law Wu took the silver and packed the ticket and said, "Don't worry, Cai Ye, I can't lose a single hair of her hair." ”

Hu San shouted dissatisfiedly, "It's cheap enough to keep her from dying, and you still want to show her injuries?" Cai Ye, when are we going to change the good hall? ”

Cai Ye put on the posture of the boss and shouted: "Hu San, are you still finished?" Let you fight and fight, and the anger is out, what else? You are a big man with five big and three thick, let a little girl hurt, and you still have the face to yell here? ”

Hu San didn't dare to stiffen up, Nuo Nuo agreed, and as soon as Cai Ye left, Hu San glared at Zhou Ying fiercely.
