Chapter 238, fate is unpredictable

The dungeon can only be described as dark, if it weren't for the female cell boss delivering food in and out on time every day and lighting out the lights, she would not be able to judge day and night from the inside, nor could she know the slightest news outside, as if she was isolated from the world.

The three female cell heads who took turns on duty all had no expression on their faces, except for shouting at the lights and turning off the lights on time to eat, they refused to say a word, and they turned a deaf ear to everything they asked, and even scolded them twice. Changsheng was thinking about whether to spend some money to let them get more hay so that they could sleep more comfortably, and then slowly find a way to ask them to bring in some food for Jinshu, but those people refused to say a word to her.

Changsheng understood, this is a heavenly prison, not an ordinary prison, they are Qin criminals, not ordinary criminals who kill people and steal goods, and the Xie family has just been copied, and the future and fate are unknown, at this time, no one dares to hit the muzzle of the gun for a few taels of silver.

Without the permission of those in power, no one dared to take care of them, and the little possessions she had on her could not be spent for the time being, and no one dared to do anything for them now.

Whether they can live comfortably here, whether they can live or not depends on the wishes of those in power, not a few kind words and some money can do it, or who they want to buy with money, and they should wait for some time if they can still live safely.

After the initial fear of not knowing whether to live or die and extreme discomfort, everyone gradually calmed down as if they were half numb and half resigned to their fate.

There are two meals a day in the prison, and the female cell head lights up the oil lamp on time every morning (around 9 o'clock in the morning) to bring a basin of washing water, breakfast and a pot of drinking water.

For a few days, breakfast was brown rice porridge or mixed bean porridge with a few pickles, and there was only one bowl per person, Shen Shizhong (about 4 o'clock in the afternoon) sent lunch and a pot of drinking water, the rice was a mixed noodle steamed bun and a bowl of vegetable soup or thin noodles for each person, and the lights were turned off at the end of the day (around 9 o'clock in the evening), and he had to sleep whether he could sleep or not, because the cell where he couldn't see his fingers was really nothing to do.

This is the kind of food, the two children can still eat enough, and the adults can only eat half full, but they can't die of hunger. The first day was better, and the second day didn't say anything about others, Changsheng himself was already hungry and panicked, and after Jin Shu and Jin Niang cried for a few days, they gradually accepted the reality, and they didn't have to coax each meal for a long time, and everyone quickly lost weight.

The cell smelled of mildew and decay, the floor and walls were dirty, even the only haystack where they could lie was a musty smell, and the wooden barrel used to defecate in the corner smelled of it, and the pampering of the former dignity was completely gone, and the poor living conditions had wiped out the most basic dignity.

The washing water is shared by fifteen people, according to the order of the old lady, Jin Niang, Jin Shu, Lin Xinhui, and Changsheng came first, the old lady was born in a famous family, and received a strict upbringing since childhood, she wanted Changsheng to follow her second place to wash, but Changsheng still insisted on ranking behind Lin Xinhui, in this dirty prison, the whole body was stained with musty smell in just one day, what is the point of washing your face and makeup with water every day? It's better to have one less enemy.

For the first time, several aunts were noisy about who washed first, although the old lady was a phoenix, the shock of the whole body still made the aunts afraid, in this predicament, she quickly arranged the only things in prison. This makes Changsheng very admired, the old lady was born in the rich, grew up in the rich, and married in the rich, before this catastrophe, they all lived in the rich, although after the Sui and Tang wars, but life was not affected much, and the sudden catastrophe was trapped in the prison and life and death were unpredictable, not only did she not step over, but quickly adjusted her mentality to deal with all this in front of her, so that this unbearable life is quite calm.

Under her arrangement, after the meal was delivered, everyone ate their own food, and they were not allowed to compete for humility, so as to ensure that everyone would not starve to death, because one person had one portion, and the meal time was short, there was nothing to fight for.

Under the insistence of Changsheng, according to the old lady, Jin Shu, Jin Niang, Lin Xinhui, Changsheng, and then the pregnant Aunt Qing and the rest of the aunts, as for which aunt washed first, the old lady was very fair according to the status of each person and the time of promotion to the aunt.

The only, and dirtiest job is to empty the commode twice a day, of course, the real master of the Xie family and Changsheng can't do it, just under the arrangement of the old lady, except for the pregnant Aunt Qing, the rest of the aunts take turns to do it at a time, although these people are dissatisfied, but they are afraid of the old lady's residual power, and because this arrangement is also fair, no one dares to resist for the time being.

When sleeping, the old lady very fairly let everyone spread a bunch of grass thinly in the corner away from the commode, to ensure that everyone can lie on the grass, Lin Xinhui objected, she felt that those splashing concubines just slept on the ground, should let the real master spread thicker, sleep more comfortably, and eat should be eaten by them first before the concubines eat.

Aunt Qing was pregnant, and she also complained that it didn't matter if she couldn't eat enough, she couldn't starve the child in her belly, and she also felt that she should let herself eat the rest before giving it to other aunts.

The old lady only said lightly: "Save trouble, it's hard to say whether you can live tomorrow!" Besides, what if one of them can't stay up and gets sick, what if they get sick and give everyone the sickness? As long as the two children can eat enough. Don't forget that this is a prison, and you can't even visit the prison without permission, and at this point, you have to share the joys and sorrows. ”

Lin Xinhui hugged her daughter and cried a few times and didn't say anything anymore, Aunt Qing didn't dare to say anything more, and several concubines who were a little dissatisfied at the beginning were shocked by the old lady again, and they all obeyed the arrangement in a proper manner.

No matter what gaps there were before, Changsheng still admires the old lady very much, and in this case, she can still be the backbone, which is really not easy. She also understands that if the old lady falls down at this time, these fifteen women will be messed up, Lin Xinhui has no talent and no virtue, she will only forcibly suppress it, and no one is willing to listen to her at this point now, she has to rely on the old lady for the time being, with her, she must always maintain fairness on the surface, if she falls ill or goes, this prison will be chaotic, maybe someone will grab the bowl when eating and drinking.

Changsheng thought about it, and looked at the old lady's haggard appearance after a few days, she sighed and put down Jinshu, fortunately, she wore three layers of clothes on the day she raided the house, so she took off the top layer that had been soiled, took off the middle layer of clothes and skirts, and put it on for the old lady without saying a word, the old lady looked at her in surprise, and her face sank suddenly: "It was so hot that day, why did you wear so much?" Did you prepare in advance? Or is it knowing something in advance? ”

Changsheng shook his head: "That day, the officers and soldiers copied the front yard first, we heard the noise in Jinshu Courtyard and were about to send someone to see it, it was the third master who sent a small servant to inform us in a hurry, I had heard in the palace that the prison was dark, cold and damp, and I hurriedly put it on in a panic, or I was not calm, I knew how good it was to pack a bag of dim sum with me, and the old lady and young lady could be better these days!" ”

The old lady shook her head approvingly: "Suddenly hearing about the raid, not only did you not panic, you didn't run away by yourself, but you also wanted to wear a few more clothes, which is already very calm, and ordinary men may not be able to do it!" ”

Changsheng nodded, but found that the old lady looked at her body a few times and turned her head, and was slightly surprised to understand, the old lady must have suspected that she would never wear only a few clothes, maybe there was something hidden, fortunately, she was a person who knew how to judge the situation and avoid the disadvantages, and Changsheng was not afraid of what she would divulge. Even if Changsheng really hid his belongings, if he leaked it out at this time, it would only be taken by the cell boss or the supervisor, and there would be no benefit at all, so it was better to hide it first.

Changsheng didn't think much about it, returned to Jinshu's side, sat with her, and recited the nursery rhyme in a very small voice that would not alarm the cell boss in order to relieve her boredom, and her soft and deliberately lowered voice also attracted Jinniang's attention.

She stopped crying and making trouble, and tried to break free from her mother and crawl towards Jinshu, Lin Xinhui has been coaxing her really hard these days, this time she will see that she will not cry, but she is not as hostile to Jinshu as usual, I heard her crawl over, anyway, it is under her nose, and she is not afraid of anything.

Changsheng watched with pity as Jin Niang's petite body slowly crawled over, wearing only a thin layer of clothes and stained with grass, her pink little face had lost a lot of weight in the past, and there were tear stains on her face, speaking of which, she was even more pitiful than Jin Shu. Jin Shu knows a little bit about things, and she can still listen to the advice, she suddenly encountered a great change in her life without knowing anything.

It's summer now, although it's not freezing, but it's cold in the dungeon, she's not even two years old, her resistance is poor, and she's really not used to the great changes in life, she cries from time to time, in case she is infected with the wind and cold, there is no medicine, fortunately, Jin Shu wore a total of three layers before leaving, she gave Jin Niang a layer, and let Lin Xinhui put it on, so as not to soak the damp bones, and sleep on the grass can be more comfortable.

Although Lin Xinhui accepted her kindness, she hated that she still had the opportunity to bring a few more clothes, her face was still not good-looking, and Changsheng ignored her, this kind of arrogant and ignorant person ignored it, anyway, if it weren't for Jinshu, she wouldn't have come to this place.

It's just that who can tell her what is going on outside, even if she doesn't execute them for the time being, even if she does her best to take care of Jinshu, under such harsh conditions, not to mention adults, how long can the two immature little girls last?

And no matter what the reason, if the man commits a crime and implicates the women and children in the inner house, if he cannot be released, will he be sent to the church and degraded? She is an outsider and can get out, but can Jinshu? Changsheng hugged Jin Shu tightly, his heart was full of fear, and he secretly prayed: Sister, if you can point me all the way to the Xie family to take care of Shu'er in the dark, then you will definitely protect me and Shu'er if nothing happens, right?
