Chapter 5 Redemption
Seeing that Yao was extremely hungry and didn't care about the old lady, Li took the porridge and handed it to the old lady, seeing that her eyes were closed, thinking that she hadn't woken up yet, he pushed her body and persuaded softly: "Mother, you haven't eaten for a day and a night, drink some porridge, otherwise your body can't bear it." ”
Old Madam Lu didn't react at all, she still closed her eyes tightly, leaning against the wall, and then Li Shi felt that something was wrong, and immediately put the bowl in her hand on the ground, trembling and stretched her hand under her nose, and then her face suddenly turned as white as paper, and she screamed irrepressibly.
Yao on the side was startled, immediately frowned and looked over, and asked aloud, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Shi had already sat on the ground, his face was frightened and mixed with this grief, and after a long time, he said in a trembling voice: "Mother, she ...... Mother She ...... No ......."
Yao Shi also dropped the bowl in his hand in shock, and looked at Mrs. Lu with a pale face, but he didn't dare to step forward, but he just hugged Lu Qianchen and kept saying that he was not afraid or not, but the fear on his face was more than sadness.
Soon after, the jailer who came to collect the barrel knew about Mrs. Lu's death, but he didn't show any affection, but just dragged away the bodies of her and Aunt Chen, and there are many things like this old person who die in prison, but most of them will come to ransom the body, and they can make a lot of money when the time comes, so in the eyes of the jailers, there is not much difference between the dead and the living.
After the two people were missing, the cell seemed to be empty, everyone didn't say a word, the cell was quiet and terrible, it seemed that even the sound of snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling could be heard clearly, everyone's spirit was very tense, this short day and night, too many things had happened, if there was not still the last bit of hope, I am afraid they would all collapse.
Only Lu Yanwan is an exception, the expression on her face has always been calm, and she has not shown a trace of fear since she entered the cell and has not cried, if it weren't for the Yao family and a few people taking care of themselves, they must have long suspected that the timid and cowardly girl on weekdays had been replaced.
At noon, a jailer came and opened the door of Lu Yanwan's cell, followed by a mother wearing a silver hairpin and a blue satin dress. ”
Yao hugged his daughter, had long forgotten what etiquette had been, and crawled to the door of the prison with tears of joy, as if he wanted to leave this hellish place immediately. The mother-in-law had already paid the money, and had already signed the deed, and immediately helped Yao up from the ground, and wanted to help them out with red eyes.
Jia Shi stood up straight, walked past Lu Qianwan without hesitation, led Lu Qianchen to himself, and never looked at her.
When she walked out of the prison door, Lu Qianchen suddenly glanced back at Lu Huiwan, she was still young after all, and she had more compassion than Yao's, and she said with a slight reluctance: "Mother, third sister ......"
Yao's still didn't look at Lu Xianwan, shook his head at Lu Qianchen, half-turned his head, and said confessively: "Chen'er, from now on, we have nothing, we can only rely on your grandfather's almsgiving for a living, it is not an exaggeration to say that the day is not safe, and we have no ability to care about others, not to mention that your grandfather saved us, others can still say that it is flesh and blood, if a large family buys it all, isn't it clearly dissatisfied with the court?" ”
Although Yao's words were high-sounding, they were not unreasonable, and Lu Qianchen didn't dare to ask for it anymore.
Lu Yanwan has not spoken, nor has she ever had a word of pleading, of course she knows that the Yao family will not save her, even if the sister who suddenly has compassion for her, maybe she will save her now, and she will regret it after a while, but she has not forgotten how her sister who was originally grateful to her later was designed to treat her.
Yao led his daughter and followed the woman without looking back, the wooden prison of the master of the Lu family suddenly became empty again, Lu Lingshu and Lu Lingjing watched their sister leave, and began to cry at the Li family, and kept asking when they could leave, the Li family could only make a bitter face, desperately comforting the two daughters, but in their hearts they were not sure if their father could come in time to redeem their mother and daughter.
In the evening, a middle-aged man came in the dust, and when he saw the three Li mother and daughter, he explained to them: "As soon as General Li heard that your aunt and grandmother had an accident, he immediately flew a pigeon to pass a letter to our master, so that he could come in time to save my aunt and grandmother, and you suffered." ”
Li Shi had already burst into tears with excitement, she didn't expect her father's people to come so quickly, so she hurriedly pulled her two daughters to stand up and said, "I'm fine, I thank you for my father's righteousness." Saying this, he and the two women bowed to the man, and the man didn't even dare to say anything, urging Li to leave quickly.
Before Li left, she also glanced back at Lu Yanwan, her face was full of regret, but she didn't say anything, although she didn't like Yao, she had to admit that what she said was very right, they are now mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, how can they help others.
Lu Yanwan was still motionless, unheard of those sympathetic eyes, but she was thinking about how to behave as mediocre as possible when the Jiaofang Division came to pick people tomorrow, thinking like this, she stroked the whip mark on her face, the whip mark was actually not deep, but a little long, extending from the left cheekbone to the chin, even if there was no medicine, she would heal after ten days and half a month, and it would not leave a scar, but Lu Yanwan didn't want it to be good, since yesterday, She kept rubbing dirt from the cell floor on the wound on her face to make it worse.
Lu Yanwan knew that her appearance was first-class, and she almost gathered all the advantages of her father and biological mother, which was one of the reasons why Yao's family looked down on herself so much in the past, in the last life, it was because of her stunning face that she suffered so much pain, and this life started from the end of this face, although she couldn't see the scars on her face without a mirror at this moment, but with that hot pain, she also knew that it couldn't be fixed, thinking of this, she couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
At night, the jailers didn't show up again, presumably because Aunt Zhao was the only one left in the cell, and they didn't think it was interesting.
Two more days have passed, and the three-day deadline for redemption has also arrived, Lu Yanwan's cell and the cell opposite where the Shi family's daughters are imprisoned are only two or three kittens, as in the previous life, Shi Jingyao was not ransomed and bought, because her biological mother was only an aunt, and her identity was even more unbearable than Lu Yanwan's biological mother.
