Chapter 22: Cellmates
The county lord sent the head catcher to take the pen and ink, and informed me: "Write." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" muttered again: "I can even do something to murder my relatives, what kind of letter do I write to which husband?" ”
I pretended not to hear, did not justify, picked up the pen dipped in ink, and wrote on the slightly yellowed paper: "The husband is above, the sinner knows that she has no face to see her husband, but there is still a wish to be fulfilled, I implore the husband to remember the relationship between husband and wife, and fulfill my thoughts......"
It's not a difficult thing to write with a brush, but every time I write a word, I have to search my stomach and think about how to write the ancient characters of this word, so when I write down a letter, I feel a little headache.
However, what is more of a headache is the county lord and the head catcher.
It would have taken me some time to write, and when I wrote the letter, I first wrote that I hoped that he would come to see me in prison with a pot of wine, and let me die, and then I wrote that my desire was quite strong, untouchable, and indestructible...... Finally, I reminded him how unshakable and indestructible my wish was.
After emphasizing this verbosity, I thought of Yu'er and Yueying again, and said that I entrusted them to him and let him take care of them.
Therefore, it was the middle of the night when I finished writing this letter, and I guess it was time.
During this period, the county lord urged me many times to no avail, so I had to give up this idea, and instead sat on the wooden chair behind the table, supported by my hands, and dozed off.
I handed the letter to the butler and said, "Be careful on the road." So he followed the captor to the cell.
The head catcher carried a candle and yawned, and walked around and down, leading me to a more remote and eerie place.
Although I had expected that the cell would not be a good place for people, and had repeatedly told myself that I had to be calm when I arrived at the cell, when I stepped through the door of the cell, I wanted to vomit out my empty stomach.
If it weren't for the headcatcher having closed the door, I would have liked to just go out and breathe.
After standing in place for a while and getting used to it, I slowly exhaled and told myself that it didn't matter, I had already entered the "abalone house", and after a long time, I would "not smell it".
The head catcher took me to the cell again, and along the way many unkempt cellmates greeted me cordially, and I was very entangled, whether to respond with a good word or not to return.
Finally, not resisting their enthusiasm, I raised my hand and waved it slightly.
The head catcher took me to a cell door, unlocked it, and said, "Go in." ”
The design of the cells is so plain that it is no longer possible to describe it as "rudimentary". When I entered, the head catcher locked the cell door and said, "It's past dinner, and we will have to wait until tomorrow morning." With that, he turned and left.
I let out an "oh" in a daze, remembering that I had asked Lan Sheng to come to the cell to see me, so I called out to the head catcher and said, "Wait a minute, Brother Guan,"
He turned to me and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"My family officials will come to see me in prison soon, can the official brother be accommodating and let him in at that time?"
He frowned and said, "That's his business, and if he comes, he will tell me himself, don't bother with your tongue." Then he walked away.
I didn't have a chance to "bother with my tongue", so I picked up a clean place and sat down.
was squinting, and the cellmate opposite suddenly said, "Eh! I said the woman on the other side, what did you do to get locked up? ”
The word "mother-in-law" made me very unhappy, I ignored him and continued to pretend to sleep.
He spoke again: "Speak quickly! This is the rule of the cell, and the newcomer is coming to break the news. ”
Breaking the news? Did I hear me right? was stunned and continued to say nothing.
He shouted: "Stinky woman, what about you, don't pretend to sleep for me there, I tell you, if you don't speak, don't think about me tonight, I'll scold you all night, believe it or not......"
"I believe it." I opened my eyes and said, "What story do you want to hear?" Is it a story of Fengyue, or a story of loyalty and filial piety, or a ghost story? ”
"Who's going to listen to those?" He put his hands on the cell door, his eyes looking left and right, "I mean, what did you do to get locked up?" After a pause, he thought to himself: "Look at what you are wearing is Ayaluo, you must be the mother-in-law of a noble family," and paused again, and speculated: "Isn't it...... Stealing people outside? Then he said indignantly: "It's really a good life, but it's ......."
I rubbed the corners of my forehead and interrupted, "Big brother, what did you come in for?" ”
He let go of the prison doorpost, sat down on the ground, and said sullenly, "I stole something." It's been a few months since I've been in, and I don't know when I'll be able to get out. Then he sighed and said, "I don't know how the mother-in-law and the children in the family are living these days?" ”
This sigh sounded extremely heavy, and I felt a little unbearable in my heart, and the unhappiness I felt was gradually overshadowed by the pity in my heart. I remembered that I was going to leave here anyway, and that the ornaments on my head were of little use, so I might as well give them to him, and it would be worth their expenses for a month.
So I took off the hosta on my head, took off the jade bell on my earlobe, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and then said to him: "There are some jade ornaments here, big brother, you can take them, after being released from prison, you will definitely not be able to find a livelihood at once, these things can temporarily relieve the worries of firewood and rice." ”
As he spoke, he put his hand out of the cell door and threw it with all his might, not far from his cell door.
He was stunned and said, "You mother-in-law, you don't take good care of your own things, what are you doing for me?" ”
I was worried that the jailer would come, so I urged him: "Big brother, you pick it up first, otherwise the jailer will be cheaper when they come." ”
He struggled for a while, and while reaching out to pick up the handkerchief, he scolded and scolded: "Those chaotic pickled goods, you can't cheap them." ”
He took the handkerchief in his hand and said suspiciously: "You mother-in-law, let me tell you, stealing someone, it will be over after a year, you have to keep these things, after you go out, your officials will definitely not want you, and your mother-in-law may not recognize you as a mother-in-law, how can you live as a mother-in-law?" ”
Although what he said was completely false, I was touched by such a sincere intention to plan for my future.
Although the eldest brother is a little rough, he is telling the truth, isn't it?
I didn't plan to explain it to him, so I followed his words and said: "Big brother don't have to worry about me, I'll look for my good friend after I go out, my good friend has some money on him, a lot of this, big brother, you can take it with confidence." ”
There was no reaction on the other side for a while, and when I was about to call him, he suddenly sighed and sighed: "Oops! It's amazing......" followed by a series of exclamations: "Oops......"
I finally couldn't help but ask him, "Big brother, what do you want to say?" ”
"Ah......" he paused, "No, we are half a catty, and the eldest brother has nothing to say." ”
