Chapter 239, design self-help

After eating the same meal for more than ten days, no one knew what was waiting for them, and the complaining concubines had no energy to talk more, and most of them either lay down to recuperate, or sat against the wall in a daze, because they were more active, digested faster, and were more hungry.

Hungry but no food to eat, can only wait, finally wait until the meal, very vulgar and difficult to swallow, and can only eat half full, these ten days, everyone is really fed up with such days, but I don't know how long to endure.

Fifteen women of different sizes, only Jin Niang can eat a small amount of food, Jin Shu is growing her body, although she is not as hungry as adults, but she can't eat enough, but she refuses to eat what Changsheng gave her, saying that if Changsheng is hungry and sick, no one will take care of her, and Changsheng has to follow her.

All of them quickly lost weight, except for the foul smell in the cell itself, fifteen people lived together for more than ten days without bathing, and every day they shared a basin of water and grass to wipe their faces, and all of them had a bad smell on their heads.

The young Jin Niang also lost her life in a hurry, snuggling up to her mother and lying down, occasionally humming a few words, her voice was like a little mouse, Lin Xinhui looked at her daughter's increasingly thin little face distressedly and finally couldn't help but erupt: "Mother! When the Xie family was in its prime, there were so many relatives and world friends, why didn't there even be a single person to visit the prison at this time? Is it also possible to give some food in front of relatives? Which prison does not allow people to send food to their relatives, and I don't know how many people will starve to death by eating prison food! Look at how hungry Jin Niang is? It's a pity that she has to suffer so much at such a young age, can she still survive like this? Don't talk about others, won't the eldest sister feel sorry for your mother? Don't you feel sorry for her nephews and nieces? Don't you know that if you take care of it, let's suffer less? Pei Xiang is so favored, can't he ask the emperor for a favor? ”

The old lady glanced at her coldly: "Do you know that we are Qin criminals?" Do you know what a prisoner is? Life and death are unpredictable, and they are still connected with the nine clans and old friends at every turn, and everyone avoids it at this time, who dares to send food? As for your eldest sister and the Pei family, it is difficult to say which emperor is now, and what do you say about whether they are favored by the emperor or not, maybe they are the same as us now! ”

Lin Xinhui covered her mouth with an exclamation, didn't dare to continue, and looked at her daughter and cried again: "It doesn't matter if I suffer, the key is Jinshu and Jinniang, they are still so young, how can they stand it?" I don't know how the two big men, the second master and the third master, take care of Jinshu, I'm worried to death! ”

The old lady touched Jin Niang's little face distressedly, sighed and said, "Aren't you distressed if you feel distressed?" But what else can be done but wait? Don't cry, be careful of being scolded, I can't take care of myself, if you cry and get sick, who will take care of Jinniang? I think there is always a result in life and death. ”

Changsheng looked at Jinshu, who was becoming more and more weak, and had no heart to guess what had happened in the court, maybe the prince and the king of Qin were still fighting to the death, maybe the Xuanwumen incident had happened, and the king of Qin sat in the world, maybe history was completely reversed, and the prince sat in the world, and now these are not important, because in either case, the Xie family has been raided, and there is no clear news, and they are all suffering in the prison, and life and death are unpredictable.

She was also worried that she couldn't hold on to her illness and no one would take care of Jinshu, it was really a terrible thing to fall ill in this kind of place, not to mention finding a doctor, she couldn't even drink hot water, rough food, foul air, and soon killed the patient. She was even more worried that Jinshu would fall ill, and if this continued, even if the authorities finally wanted to pardon them, they might not be able to wait until that day.

Mingjing, who is separated from them, doesn't know what's going on, anyway, I can't count on it for the time being, unlike the traitor department, for this kind of rebellion-related criminals, generally men are punished more severely than women, and the situation of Mingjing and Mingqing will never be better than them, even if they are pardoned, they are only pardoned first.

She has to save herself, she can't sit still, she and Jinshu still have eight taels of silver and two hundred taels of silver tickets hidden on their bodies and in their buns, rather than die to someone else, it is better to come in handy. And it's been almost twenty days, and if you want to kill them, you will have to kill them a long time ago, and the cell boss sees that they are okay for the time being, and the vigilance should not be as strong as it was at the beginning.

For her, a few cell bosses are the people who now hold the real power and now manage her, and she still has some property, the so-called backing on the mountains and relying on the water to draft water, from ancient times to the present, in the case of safety, the people with power are willing to use the power to make transactions. If they don't want to do it, it's because there is a risk, and if what they do is not risky and the benefits are considerable, Changsheng believes that they will do it.

By the dim light, looking at the people sitting or lying in the cell, except for the occasional one or two whispering a few words, most of them looked numb and closed their eyes, her little wealth was not enough for so many people, although they were also pitiful, although Jin Niang, who was less than two years old, was even more pitiful, but Changsheng could only choose to save Jin Shu first.

After lunch, the two concubines who took turns emptying the commode quarreled because of trivial matters, and the old lady couldn't hold it down, everyone's attention was attracted, and Jin Shu looked at it puzzled.

When Changsheng saw that no one was paying attention to them, he hugged her and whispered in his ear, "Isn't it annoying to be with these people?" Shall we live separately from them? ”

Although Shu'er didn't understand what she meant, she still nodded, and Changsheng said in her ear: "If you want to live separately, you have to pretend to be sick, for fear that they will be sick, so naturally we will be allowed to live separately, how can we pretend to be sick?" Auntie teaches you how to do it, you have to learn like that! ”

Shu'er's curiosity suddenly rose, and listening to Changsheng teach her how to pretend to be sick, a rare naughty smile appeared on her sallow and haggard face, and she immediately nodded again and again.

When the shouting of lunch sounded again, although he knew that the food was rough, he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and the women's faces still swelled up with some anticipation, and they got up weakly one by one and walked towards the fence gate, Changsheng also went to push Jinshu up, but he couldn't push it, and suddenly shouted: "Shu'er!" Shu'er! How about you? Get up and eat, aren't you hungry? ”

But Jin Shu still didn't move, everyone's attention was successfully attracted, Changsheng's voice became nervous, and he pushed Shu'er vigorously again: "Shu'er, get up and eat quickly, don't scare my aunt!" ”

This time, even the female cell head who was distributing the meal also looked over here, Changsheng's face was full of fear, but Jin Shu finally opened her eyes, Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief and pulled her up to eat, Jin Shu shook her head weakly, closed her eyes again, Changsheng was so frightened that she cried, and called and pulled again, Jin Shu opened her eyes again, looked at Changsheng and closed it again, Changsheng cried bitterly and ran to the fence and begged the cell head: "Auntie! Ma'am! Please, find a doctor, the child is not guilty, please find a doctor! She was so sick that she didn't even want to open her eyes! ”

Without waiting for the cell boss to answer, Lin Xinhui was shocked and said, "What? Is she sick? What disease? Hurry up and pull that girl out, and be careful to give Jin Niang a sick breath! ”

Changsheng said with a sad and angry face: "Second lady, you are also her aunt, you don't want to save her when she is sick, but you are afraid that she will be sick, your heart is so ruthless!" ”

But everyone was taking care of themselves, and Aunt Qing took the lead and said: "It's not that we are ruthless, we can't stand this ghost place, not to mention that the eldest lady is still a child, and her body is weak, who knows what disease she has?" If we get sick, we can't escape, but my belly is the second master's flesh and blood, a serious master of the Xie family! ”

The aunts were chattering, Lin Xinhui really couldn't see Aunt Qing's arrogance, and remembered that she was angry with her before, anyway, Ming and Qing were not there, who knows what will happen in the future, it is better to take the opportunity to vent her anger, she saw the opportunity, "snapped" and slapped Aunt Qing and scolded: "What jian goods!" Even if you give birth, you will also splash the concubine! Serious masters can't take care of it, who can take care of your belly and your cheap seed? Even if you are sick, you deserve it! ”

Aunt Qing cried "wow", she wanted to fight with her and was suppressed, she didn't dare, and she was even more afraid of hurting the child in her belly, so she cried and begged the old lady to be the master: "Old lady, listen, you have to call the shots for me!" What did I say wrong? But what did you hear from Madame? I'm splashing, but the child is the second master's species, even if it's a concubine, how can it be cheap? Even if it's a concubine, you can't get over it, and you deserve it! ”

Lin Xinhui was about to beat her again, but she was stopped by the old lady, and Changsheng was still calling Shu'er here. The female cell head is a little scared, she has seen a lot of cell bosses for many years, Qin prisoners are no better than ordinary prisoners, they will kill when they give an order, and they have become unjust souls, and they don't even have to try the case, and they will be pardoned when they are pardoned, and they will return to the good days of the past.

In the same way, since he is a prisoner, the boss said that no one was allowed to visit, no one dared to visit, and the above did not say to let anyone go, and no one dared to let a person go, but the boss did not say that people would die, so they had to watch carefully. Although it is not a big problem for a child to die of illness, if you give your illness to others and make you sick, it is not something that these cell bosses can bear.

The female cell boss quickly stopped the noise and shouted, and then said undeniably: "Those who have not eaten have eaten!" This sick child should stay away, don't give others too much sickness! I'll talk about it when I get back to the top! ”

Changsheng grabbed her and begged bitterly: "I beg my aunt to have mercy on this motherless child!" Get her a doctor! I really can't please move us away, the child is not sick here, and he will be cursed to death by these women! Ask for a big lady! As he spoke, a piece of silver had been stuffed into the hand of the female cell leader.

The female cell head was stunned for a moment, but she withdrew her hand quietly, glanced at Changsheng quickly, and scolded expressionlessly as before: "What is the trouble? Don't hurry up and eat, I'll talk about other things later! ”
