"Erlang, is Li Cha okay?"

Hearing someone calling his name, Li Nan, who was wearing a round-necked right-hand narrow-sleeved shirt and a folded horned head, hurriedly woke up from his drowsiness and walked to the outside of the prison.

Suddenly came into the sunlight from the dim environment, Li Nan couldn't help but look at his eyes slightly, and after adapting to the strong light, he saw the person in front of him clearly.

It was a gray-haired old woman with a coarse cloth wrap in her hand.

Li Nan showed pity and said, "Granny Wang, are you coming to see your son again?" ”

"yes, who told me to give birth to such a reckless son."

As Granny Wang spoke, she handed the cloth bag in her hand to Li Nan, "Erlang, this is a dress made for my son, please bring it to him." ”

Li Nan took the burden and touched it carefully, and found that there was no foreign object, so he said: "Don't worry, I will send it to Wang Hu as soon as I go in." ”

Seeing that Li Nan turned around to enter the prison, Granny Wang gently pulled the sleeve of his robe and put a string of money in his hand, "Li Chapa, I always trouble you to do things, this is a little bit of my heart, you must not be too little." ”

Li Nan looked at Granny Wang's red and swollen hands because she often washed clothes, sighed and handed the string of money back to her.

"Although I am a jailer, I don't take all the money, you can keep it for yourself."

Granny Wang used to come to visit her son, and if she didn't give some money, she couldn't even send things in.

Now that Li Nan doesn't want a penny, the old woman can't help but cry and say gratefully: "Li Erlang, you are kind-hearted, and you will definitely be rich and rich in the future!" ”

Seeing off Granny Wang, who kept saying words of thanks, Li Nan took a few breaths of fresh air outside, and then returned to the dim, damp, and foul-smelling prison.

Putting the burden on the table, Li Nan sat on the stool and poured a glass of water and drank it all, then laughed at himself with a wry smile: "Lao Tzu has worked hard for so many years, and he just took out a loan to buy a house and a car, but he didn't expect that the steering wheel was not hot yet, and he had a car accident and came to this ghost place, where did he get rich and expensive!" ”

It has been more than two months since Li Nan came to the Great Song Dynasty, leaving the environment surrounded by modern facilities, and coming to this era very abruptly, there are really many places that he is not used to.

Not to mention anything else, just to say that there is no mobile phone network, which makes a modern person unbearable, Li Nan finally understood why the ancients liked to drink and feast on prostitutes, and there was really nothing to do at night.

Besides, even if others don't make a princely general, they will be mixed with the identity of a rich son, and it is really not a good place to wear it on the body of a low-ranking jailer like him.

Although Li Nan has worked for many years and has long returned the school's historical knowledge to the teacher, he still vaguely remembers that a small official like him will never be qualified to be an official.

Squatting in this prison like purgatory on earth every day, he has no hope of promotion, how can he rely on the rich and noble children and grandchildren?

Thinking of this, Li Nan couldn't help but touch a black iron ring on the index finger of his right hand.

This worthless ring is very strange, Li Nan has tried many methods, but he can't take it down anyway, this thing should have some magical effect, but he hasn't figured it out for the time being.

Fiddling with the mysterious ring for a while, but still found nothing, Li Nan had no choice but to put down the matter, grabbed the package on the table, and walked into the dark corridor inside.

On both sides of the corridor were rows of rudimentary cells three meters square, and because there were only fist-sized vents in the walls, there was not much daylight to shine in, and the whole prison was particularly dim, with only a few oil lamps on both sides flickering faintly.

There is no day of light here all year round, the air is full of all kinds of stench and bloody smell, normal people can't stand it for a while, Li Nan has been in abalone for a long time, and he doesn't smell it.

After tapping the fence a few times with the scabbard on his waist, Li Nan shouted, "Wang Hu, come and get your clothes." ”

In this cell, there was a stout man who was nearly two meters tall and had a simple face, and he stood up from the haystack when he heard the sound, and said with a happy face: "Li Chapa, did my mother bring food?" ”

Stuffing the package through the gap in the fence, Li Nan shook his head and said, "You are quite big, you know how to eat." If something happens, you still have to take care of your mother, and when you go out, you have to take good care of your mother, do you know? ”

Wang Hu touched his head embarrassedly and replied, "Well, I know!" ”

Li Nan was about to go back to the table to rest, but he heard the sound of chains colliding in the prison opposite Wang Hu, and a man with an iron leaf flail pounced in front of the fence and roared: "You dogs, bring food for the uncle, otherwise I will kill your whole family when I go out!" ”

Li Nan squinted at the evil bandit, and said disdainfully: "Spotted Tiger, you dog-like thing, you raped and killed six women who have not yet left the cabinet, how can it be possible to get out." I advise you to be quiet, lest you suffer any more flesh and skin. ”

Leaving behind this murderous thief with a desperate face, Li Nan returned to the table and took a few more naps, and it was time to hand over the shift.

A stocky jailer dressed in the same attire walked in with several oil-paper packets of cooked food and a jug of wine hanging from his hand.

Putting the wine and food on the table, the short and fat jailer pouted and asked, "Erlang, did the spotted tiger croak today?" ”

"You yelled at me again, but it doesn't seem like you have much energy."

Humpty Dumpty Jailer sneered: "Hehe, let's take the money from the six family owners to relieve their hatred, this spotted tiger not only has not picked the iron leaf pan flail, but also used the method of starvation, I see that he can survive for a few days, if he makes trouble again, I will give him a boring trick at night!" ”

The iron leaf pan-head flail he was talking about was a heavy flail with shackles, and over time, the prisoner's neck bones would be deformed, wrist bones would be broken, and iron chains would even grow into the flesh.

As for the method of starvation, it is much simpler, that is, not to give food to the prisoners.

In the end, the boring trick was more ruthless, which was to put a bag of earth and stones on the prisoner's stomach, so that the other party could only breathe out but not intake, and whether to injure or kill at that time was in the jailer's thoughts.

This is all a method that the jailer will know, no matter how ruthless you are, as long as you enter this prison, if there is no one to deal with it, then don't think about getting out.

Although Li Nan would not do such an evil act to the prisoner, he was also happy to see the other jailers rectify the spotted tiger, after all, the six families made a lot of money.

After saying that, the short and fat jailer pointed to the wine and food on the table, and said to Li Nan with a smile: "Erlang, you are not married yet, even if you go home, it will be fine, why don't we two drink some?" ”

Li Nan arched his hand and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the Zhao family's brother, but I am a little worried about my eldest brother's condition, so I won't stay long." ”

"Okay, when do you have time, tell my brother, let's go find a restaurant to have a good drink."

Bidding farewell to the elder brother of the Zhao family in the same class, Li Nan walked two streets and came to the Huichun Hall Pharmacy.

Li Nan's eponymous jailer this time also has a seriously ill brother at home, and he relies on his virtuous sister-in-law to take care of him on weekdays.

Since he occupied the body of the other party's younger brother, Li Nan also took over the matter of making money to treat the Li family's eldest brother.

Because Li Nan often came to fetch medicine for his brother, the guys in the pharmacy and the doctor in the hall also knew him, although he was only a small jailer in the county government jail, but who dared to guarantee that his relatives and friends would never commit crimes, so they were very enthusiastic about him.

The doctor sitting in the hall of Huichun Hall stood up from behind the table, stretched out his hand with a smile on his face, and asked, "Li Erlang, you are here, please take a seat." ”

As soon as Li Nan sat down, the pharmacy guy hurriedly brought tea.

Li Nan didn't say any kind words, and asked straight to the point: "Doctor Liu, my brother has been taking the medicine you prescribed for many days, but it has no effect, you can give me a letter, what is the cause of his illness?" ”

Doctor Liu shook his head with a sad face and said, "Alas, Erlang! I won't hide it from you now, your eldest man is now full of righteousness and evil in his brain, and he is terminally ill, and now he can only continue to take "Chasing the Wind and Pain Soup" to relieve the pain. ”

In fact, when Li Nan saw his brother at home fall ill these days, he hit the wall with unbearable headaches, and it is estimated that he has brain cancer and other diseases nine times out of ten.

This kind of terminal illness is put in the later generations with developed medical means, and there is no hope of cure, let alone in the Song Dynasty?

As Dr. Liu said, relieving pain is the best way to deal with patients.

For Da Lang's brother, Li Nan doesn't have too deep feelings, it's just a responsibility, since the doctor said that there is no cure, there is no need to say more.

Li Nan stood up and sighed: "It's no wonder that the doctor, it seems that my brother's life should be like this." ”

Seeing Li Nan standing up, the guy cleverly grabbed a few pairs of "Chasing the Wind and Responding to Pain Soup" and sent them over.

Taking the paper bag containing the medicinal herbs, Li Nan took out a handful of loose silver from his arms and asked, "How much silver is this medicine?" ”

The young man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "My lord has already said that if Erlang comes to buy medicine, he will not be allowed to collect money, so you can take it." ”

In the past two months, Li Nan has become accustomed to the tolerant attitude of various merchants towards the yamen officials, since everyone is like this, there is no need for him to be high, and after thanking him immediately, he went straight to his house.

After walking into his small building on the street, Li Nan shouted: "Sister-in-law, I'm back!" ”

I only heard a coquettish voice from upstairs: "Uncle, don't come up, you wait a while." ”

After a short time, Da Lang's wife, Li Nan's sister-in-law, walked down the stairs.

said that she was a sister-in-law, but because the Song Dynasty girl was fifteen years old and could get married, although they had been married for two years, she was actually a few years younger than the nineteen-year-old Li Nan, and she looked like a younger sister.

Seeing that there were still water droplets on my sister-in-law's curvaceous neck, a fragrance after bathing came to my nose, and her beautiful face was slightly red, Li Nan, who had not been contaminated with female color for a long time, couldn't help but feel a little hot when she saw this beauty, and quickly turned her head and didn't dare to look at it again.

Li Nan's young sister-in-law also seemed to feel inappropriate, so she explained a little crampedly: "Da Lang just got sick and soiled my dress, so I just washed up, I didn't want my uncle to come back, I... I'm going to cook. ”

But he said that Li Nan went back to his room, leaned on the bed and carefully thought about the historical events after the Song Dynasty, and studied whether there was a day to emerge.

But after all, in my previous life, I was busy with work all day, focusing on my own performance and salary and bonuses, and I hadn't read for a long time, so I couldn't think of anything for a while.

Half-asleep, an exclamation came from outside the building, and the voice was from his beautiful sister-in-law, who was not very old.
