As the saying goes, don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced by lightning.

Fortunately, the jailers did not frantically take away the only jewelry on Gu Chaoge's body-the silver hairpin used to tie his hair, which was still mixed with copper, the impure kind.

But this does not mean that Gu Chaoge, who has zero practical experience, can really follow the patient's teachings and open the handcuffs and ankle chains and the cell door.

She tried for half a night, but to no avail, but was ridiculed by Uncle Wu: "Little girl, have you read too much of the book, do you think the locksmiths who built the cell are idiots?" ”

"Someone taught me." Gu Chaoge slept very depressed, but fortunately, because the pocket that wrapped the note was specially made to prevent insects, there were no bed bugs to bite her.

The next night, she continued to try.

In her short career as a bell doctor, she has treated many ordinary people, and of course some people with strange experiences, including a thief who turned into a locksmith.

It was a very skilled thief, who had never been caught stealing for many years, and then fell in love with a woman and changed his mind. But I can't forget the fact that I have no successor to my own hand to unlock the lock, and my son has to study hard, and he can't learn this. The troubled thief fell ill because of this, and Gu Chaoge, who was passing by, cured him easily, so this thief who believed in fate very much had to teach Gu Chaoge the trick of unlocking.

It is conceivable that Gu Chaoge was embarrassed with a capital letter at that time, but it was difficult for people to resist, so they reluctantly listened to it carefully. She has a good memory, she remembers everything after listening to it, and her hands are also flexible, and she can completely get started after a few operations.

However, it was years ago, and the iron tools that had not been used for a long time would rust, let alone her head, which had never been a thief.

Instead of denouncing her "efforts" to the jailers, Lao Wu laughed at her day after day. Hearing that Gu Chaoge's rotten technique was actually learned from a thief, and the thief was still her patient, Lao Wu laughed: "Little girl, you are actually a doctor?" That thief is so unlucky to run into you. ”

Gu Chaoge was embarrassed: "Why can't I be a doctor, I cured someone." ”

"I really have the ability, go to treat the other people's Miss Wei, try your luck, it's better than you blindly picking the lock here."

"So, I'll try it?" Gu Chaoge was stupid, tried to approach the cell door and yelled, asking the jailer to take her to Wei's house to see a doctor, saying that she was a doctor. As a result, in exchange for the jailer's whip: ", there is a person who eats and drinks, thinking that the Wei family can save you, wait for death!" Alas, it's better for you to sit here and wait for death, I don't want to die, Lao Tzu......" It's strange that the jailer has less whip these days, and today he unexpectedly began to feel sorry for himself, it seems...... It seemed that something was happening in the city of Yangzhou that made him feel uneasy, even frightened.

Gu Chaoge didn't know that the jailer's fear came from the large number of refugees in Changzhou and the overwhelming Red Turban Army. She sat back dejectedly, complaining that Uncle Wu's construction was unreliable, while continuing to study and unlock the lock with perseverance.

Uncle Wu smiled: "I knew that I wouldn't succeed, so people don't believe that the masters would nest in this kind of place, who is stupid?" I just want to sue you, don't toss around, it's useless. ”

"I'm not ...... blind"

With a "click", the crisp unlocking sound has never been as pleasant to the ear as this moment. So much so that Gu Chaoge's voice stopped abruptly, and Lao Wu, the cellmate next door, stood up from the ground even more suddenly, widened his eyes, approached the crack in disbelief, and asked cautiously: "Girl, ...... you Did it really work? ”

Gu Chaoge couldn't believe it, after trying for so long to no avail, it was suddenly done, she took off the chain on her hand, and then went to untie her foot. "Click", and it worked!

Lao Wu leaned against the wall to listen to the movement, and when he heard this pleasant voice, he became excited, danced with his hands, and stammered when he spoke: "Ya, girl, master, master!" Well, don't move, don't let the jailers find out, wait for the evening, late at night, and then open the prison door, understand? ”

Gu Chaoge nodded, and then remembered that Lao Wu couldn't see it, so he said "oh" to show that he understood.

Lao Wu was even more excited: "Also, don't forget the old man and me, we are brothers and sisters...... Oh no, it's not right, it's not right, ahh ”

Gu Chaoge patted his little chest proudly: "Of course, but you make it clear, am I stupid, am I reading too much of the script, am I tossing blindly?" ”

"No, no, neither, you're a master, a great master! Heavenly immortals descend to earth, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Queen Mother! ”

Gu Chaoge laughed happily. No one has ever praised her like this, but I didn't expect that the first person to praise her as if there was nothing in the sky or on the earth, was not because of her medical skills, but because of the "lockpicking" technique taught by a patient.

Now that the shackles were unshackled, her heart settled. Although Lao Wu on the other side was so excited that he was dying, he also knew that he couldn't be exposed at the moment, so he didn't talk to her anymore, and the two waited for the late night to come with peace of mind.

However, there are always surprises.

Before the night came, the jailer's boots appeared outside Gu Chaoge's prison door.

Could it be arraignment? No, no, how could someone interrogate a prisoner late at night. That's homicide? No, it won't, it's dark in the middle of the night, and it's taboo to kill.

"Girl, you ...... Is it really a doctor? "This is not the jailer who threw the whip, but his deputy, the one who was in charge of putting the food. His voice sounded hesitant.

Gu Chaoge didn't know what he was going to do, so he nodded truthfully and replied, "Yes, I am." ”

"So, can you save my son?" The voice of the jailer's deputy sounded a little crying: "My son has been sick for seven or eight days, and it is useless to invite many doctors in Yangzhou City, and seven out of ten say that it is the plague, and the plague will kill people!" I'm such a precious son! Please, save my son! ”

Pestilence?

Lao Wu, who was sitting against the wall opposite, closed his eyes and recuperated, sat up suddenly: "Girl, no way!" "The plague is contagious. This jailer has a good plan, so that the doctor in the prison does not need to pay for medicine, even if the doctor is infected with the plague, he does not have to be responsible!

Gu Chaoge heard Lao Wu's stop, she understood what Lao Wu was worried about, but this jailer was really kneeling on the ground outside the prison door, kowtowing to himself.

The boy had gold under his knees.

He didn't hide it from her, and bluntly said that his son was a plague, and he must not be too bad a person.

"Okay, you bring it to me, and I'll do my best to heal it." Gu Chaoge nodded very seriously, and the jailer was overjoyed when he heard this, kowtowed to her three times in a row, and then hurried out.

After the jailer's deputy left, Lao Wu immediately reprimanded Gu Chaoge: "Girl, are you stupid!" Don't forget what we're doing tonight! "Prison break, prison break!

Gu Chaoge wrung his fingers: "That, I'll help others see a doctor first, and then it's not too late......"

"The plague is contagious, do you want to die, silly girl!"

"As long as you take proper precautions, it won't be so easily contagious." It wasn't the first time she had seen the plague. In the past six years, as well as in the years when she followed Master to practice medicine, she had encountered several times, and Master had exhausted himself and accumulated experience many times, and summed up some methods to prevent the plague.

It's just that...... Why did a plague suddenly appear in the city of Yangzhou without warning?

Although it was a little hot on this day.

Gu Chaoge didn't know that this plague was not without warning, but brought from the displaced people who fled from Changzhou and further afield. And the cold cell made her feel a little hot, not to mention the temperature outside.

The jailer returned quickly, and he carefully held the child, who was wrapped in a blanket, unconscious, and covered in sweat.

"Bring a basin of water, and I will clean my hands." Gu Chaoge instructed the jailer's deputy through the cell door, and the jailer who threw the whip heard this, took the initiative to bring water, and came over curiously: "This little girl still looks good." ”

Lao Wu, the cellmate next door, couldn't hold back, and tried to look curiously at the opposite side through the wooden fence.

This child has a very serious fever and sweats. His father told Gu Chaoge that the child said that he always felt heavy and had difficulty turning over, and he slept on his back motionless, as if he was dead.

Gu Chaoge carefully probed the child's pulse, looked at the tongue, and asked his father about the child's condition. Her master said that although they are all epidemics, they are different in their bodies, and they can only be cured by prescribing the right medicine.

The same is true for this child, Gu Chaoge asked for a consultation, and knew it in his heart, so he stretched out his hand through the wooden fence of the prison door and said, "Paper, pen, ink." ”

"Doctor, can my son live? Can you really save? ”

"This is the wind temperature, use the Weirui soup and Duhuo soup to treat, eat two pairs first, and at this time tomorrow, you will bring him to the follow-up examination, and I will change the prescription."

The jailer who threw the whip saw that she was calm and relaxed, as if she was a master with real skills, and couldn't help but secretly say that she had no eyes, and personally polished her ink respectfully.

Gu Chaoge wrote the prescription quickly, handed it over through the prison door, and the deputy of the jailer holding the child thanked him for his kindness and hurriedly ran out to grab the medicine.

"Eh, wait a minute, remember to clean your hands after holding the child or touching the child's things, and don't approach the weak. His things will be separated, and when he is cured, everything close to him will be burned or boiled in boiling water, you know? Gu Chaoge called the jailer's deputy, and Lala gave a miscellaneous order.

Probably she was the first doctor to prescribe so decisively, and would patiently instruct the patient's family to do cruel things, and the jailer who threw the whip was stunned by the side, and at the end, he whispered: "Mr. Doctor, I have a cousin who also seems to have contracted the plague, can you also show her?" ”

"Yes." Gu Chaoge didn't think about it, and when the jailer who threw the whip heard it, he was overjoyed, and Hulala also ran out. Seeing this, cellmate Lao Wu was excited: "Girl, the two jailers are gone, hurry up and unlock the lock and escape from prison!" ”

"But, I promised to see someone." The kid will have a follow-up appointment tomorrow. Gu Chaoge thought about it, put the chain on herself, tried again, and could untie it, so she was satisfied with it again. Lao Wu pricked up his ears and heard the sound of her opening and closing the lock, and the whole person was stupid: "Girl, are you really stupid or fake stupid, why did you put yourself on again?" What a good time is now, you have been slaughtered, can those two broken jailers save you? ”

"The two of them are not very good to us, but their family didn't offend me, so why don't they save me? Anyway, you can pick the lock, why are you in a hurry? After all this stay, is it still a day or two? ”

This little girl is full of words, she is so kind and naïve, the cellmate next door Lao Wu is almost going to kneel for her, is she an inn, she is comfortable and doesn't want to leave, right? is still in prison to treat people, is she stupid!

If the unlocking technology was in the hands of Lao Wu, he would definitely run away, but the stupid little girl next door was the master of technology. He had to scratch the wall every day, and he couldn't wait to say next to her ear every day: "Little life is important, escape from prison quickly!" ”

Gu Chaoge didn't listen to him at all, she was very busy, cured the child, and cured the jailer's cousin, the cousin was cured, and there were other seven aunts and eight aunts and neighbors who came late at night. So the sky in this prison was empty, and the more night it went, the more lively it became.

The jailer's attitude towards her was now a 180-degree turn. The rice delivered was fragrant white rice with pork belly, and she was replaced with the cleanest cell with a bed and quilt, which was well ventilated, and she was given some mugwort incense to ward off evil spirits.

Even Lao Wu has some one-person enlightenment, and the taste of chicken and dog ascending to heaven. The cell had not been changed, but the food was ready, and occasionally the jailer would give him a little wine to drink.

There is food and drink, the wind can't blow, the rain can't get wet, this cell is really more and more comfortable to live in.

However, such a good time is not destined to last long. From the mouths of the jailers and the mouths of those who secretly came to see the doctor, Gu Chaoge heard a lot of news from the outside.

Many displaced people brought the plague to Yangzhou, and now the streets outside are empty during the day, and there has been no contact between the city and the outside for several days, because the Red Turban Army has surrounded the city of Yangzhou.

Red Turban Army?

Hearing the people outside the prison talking about how the Red Turban Army was fierce, five big and three coarse, all of them could top ten, thinking of the lame spider who was the weakest in the Red Turban Army, Gu Chaoge's mouth couldn't help but smile.

This is a city that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but now that the plague is rampant, Yangzhou Taishou is a well-known wallgrass, presumably they will not be too difficult. Gu Chaoge prayed in his heart that they could quickly occupy Yangzhou.

At this time, why didn't Wei Taishou think of Gu Chaoge? Yes, he thought about it, but the commander of the Red Turban Army outside told him that they had never sent anyone to persuade him to surrender, and there were no women in the Red Turban Army. Wei Taishou was very angry, he wanted to kill Gu Chaoge, but the jailers had the courage to lie to him that the woman was infected with the plague and was already waiting to die.

Gu Chaoge didn't know that he had escaped because of this. There were fewer and fewer people who came to her for medical treatment, and then there were almost none, and she could feel the changes in the situation outside, but she didn't expect that the day of the mutation would come so quickly.

"The Red Turbans are in town! Run, run! The two jailers turned pale, trembling and opening the cell door and shackles for Gu Chaoge, and then threw a large string of cell keys to her: "Female Bodhisattva, the little one has a family and a mouth, and I can't take care of you anymore." The lock is loose, you run quickly, the Red Turban Army has entered the city! With that, the jailers ran away without looking back, and did not even close the door of the cell.

Gu Chaoge got up in a daze, and the feeling of being light on her hands and feet really made her uncomfortable. She tentatively walked out of the cell, and the empty corridor was dimly lit, but there was no one.

Only Lao Wu stretched his neck and lay on the wooden fence and waved desperately: "Girl, girl, don't forget my old Wu!" ”

Gu Chaoge smiled, she took a large set of keys given by the jailer, and walked over to open the door for him, but so many keys were not marked, so she had to try them one by one.

She tried slowly without hurry, but Lao Wu was in a hurry, for fear that someone would come: "It's bad if someone finds out!" ”

Probably because he was afraid of something, Lao Wu chattered a lot, and the heavy door of the cell really creaked and was opened.

Old Wu Han's hair stood on end, and he shouted in his heart that this is over, and his life is over.

However, he did not hear the sound of weapons, only the sound of a tuk that seemed to be a wooden crutch, sounding rhythmically in the empty and deep cell.

"Miss Gu?"

Lao Wu heard a deep male voice slowly speaking, and that person was calling for Gu Chaoge.

However, the little girl who was squatting in front of Lao Wu suddenly stood up and shouted in a very frightened voice: "Stop, don't come!" ”
