Chapter 20: Poisoning
The bowl of feast, which looked extremely sumptuous, no one dared to eat it at this time, and Li Ce quietly poured it into the corner of the wall. Then he went back to the side of the straw and lay down, quietly thinking about a series of things that happened after coming to the Northern Song Dynasty.
Li Ce's mood is a little melancholy now, after Yu San's poisonous food just now, he is even more convinced of Yu San's previous inference, but after all, it has not been confirmed, everything is Yu San's speculation, so he still has a trace of luck, maybe everyone is like this, they all believe that seeing is believing.
Li Ce was thinking about what had happened in the past few days, when Yu San moved over, poked Li Ce with his fingers, raised his head and motioned him to look at the corner, Li Ce followed Yu San's gaze, the light in the dim cell was not particularly good, he couldn't see clearly, and vaguely saw that it seemed to be a few rats eating the "sumptuous meal" that Li Ce had just poured out, Li Ce was busy and sat up softly, staring intently at the corner of the wall.
The two big rats were eating with relish, not noticing that two people were staring at them not far away. The rats ate quickly, and the bowl of rice was quickly gone, and Li Ce saw that the two rats didn't seem to be different, and thought to himself, could there be no poison in this meal?
At this moment, the two mice may be ready to go back to the nest after eating, Li Ce saw the problem, only to see that the two mice seemed to have suddenly had a stroke, just ran two steps, suddenly fell, twitched on all fours, and accompanied by the "squeak" cry, the sound was extremely miserable, and it was just a cup of tea, the two mice stopped convulsing, Li Ce and Yu San stepped forward to see, the two big mice had blood coming out of their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and they were already dead.
Li Ce was horrified when he saw it, gasped, only to feel a chill down his spine, and was afraid for a while, Yu San expected that it was really good, and this meal was really poisonous.
Yu San looked at the mouse and sneered, patted Li Ce in shock and smiled: "What? Brother didn't lie to you, did he? ”
Li Ce was already stunned at this time, he couldn't imagine that this Guo County Order was really so black-hearted, treating human life as child's play, he had just brushed shoulders with death, and he almost died in such a daze, he really didn't know how to die.
Li Ce couldn't help but feel a little grateful when he looked at Yu San's gaze, but they really saved his life. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said gratefully: "Third brother's life-saving grace, I will never forget it, as long as I can get out of this cage, I will definitely repay it in the future!" At this time, looking at Yu San was not as obscene as before, but felt very kind.
Li Ce said solemnly, and Yu San smiled and shook his hand: "Haha, no, no, you and I hit it off at first sight, it was you who were generous first, and I rescued you, you don't owe me anything." ”
Li Ce smiled: "Oh, but I saved my life with a piece of roast goose meat, haha." ”
The two were polite for a while, and after speaking, Yu San pulled Li Ce to a corner and said: "Brother, you can also see it, this shows that someone wants you to die, it's better to do this, I'll take you out of prison tonight, although this prison is strictly guarded, hehe...... But it can't trap me! ”
Li Ce was shocked when he heard this, and saw that his expression didn't seem to be joking, could he really escape from prison? But he thought about it, even if he escaped, what could he do, although the world was big, there was no place for him, if he left, what would Xian'er do? Will Ma Wencheng trouble her again?
Li Ce shook his head and sighed: "It's not that simple, I understand the kindness of the third brother, but I have too many worries, I can't just leave, and if I leave, Xian'er is a weak woman, Ma Wencheng will not let her go, and when the time comes, ...... It's not appropriate, it's not appropriate. ”
Yu San's expression darkened when he heard him refuse, and both of them were silent. After a while, Yu San broke the silence again and said: "It's coming, don't think too much, the big husband acts, how can he be fearful, there is a way to stay in the green mountains and not be afraid of no firewood!" You have one more night to consider, and at dawn at the latest, I will wait for your reply."
Li Ce nodded numbly, no matter who was facing the threat of death, it was impossible to be indifferent, not to mention that this thing never thought that he could treat death as home.
The sky is slowly getting brighter, and I will be closer and closer to death, what should I do?! Li Ce thought about all possible measures and denied them one by one, and the only feasible thing seemed to be that Yu San had escaped from prison, but he must not be selfish enough to leave!
Li Ce's head was too big to think of, and he couldn't think of a better way, so he pulled his hair with both hands in annoyance, and didn't stop until his scalp hurt.
At this moment another jailer led a man to the front of the cell, followed by what appeared to be a child, not very old, wearing a large black cloak and holding a food box in his hand.
The jailer shouted impatiently, "Li Ce, someone is watching you." Damn, a poor and sour talent, in prison and so many girls come to visit, what kind of world is this! The jailer cursed as he walked.
Li Ce was annoyed in his heart, and when he looked up, he saw that it was the little maid Cui'er beside Hua Ruonu, Cui'er also saw Li Ce, and said happily: "Li Gongzi, Li Gongzi, it's me, Cui'er." ”
"Oh, Cui'er, what are you doing here?" Li Ce said listlessly, he was really not in the mood to deal with her now.
"It was my young lady who sent me, and it was inconvenient for me to come, so I had to replace her, this is the meal that Miss prepared for you." As she spoke, the little girl opened the food box and quickly handed the tray of food through the wooden fence door.
Li Ce was stunned, Hua Ruonu sent it? If you want to say that she was on the street today, she may have happened to meet her, so she helped herself, but now it's the middle of the night, and she sent someone to deliver food, could it be ...... This chick has a crush on me? This guy couldn't help but feel lustful in his heart, but he immediately thought that he was now in prison, and the county order had already wanted to put himself to death, and his lively mind suddenly sank.
"Oh, it's a severed head, haha...... Even if you die, you have to be a starving ghost. Li Ce laughed at himself.
"Li Gongzi, what are you talking about? Miss said that Li Gongzi can go home tomorrow, why is he still cutting off his head? Bah, it's unlucky, take it back" The little girl looked indignant.
Li Ce shook his head and smiled bitterly, but did not answer. He squatted down and brought the same food, and I have to say that Hua Ruonu prepared a lot of food for him, including sauce meat, stir-fried vegetables, dessert, oh, and a small pot of wine.
Li Ce beckoned everyone to come over and share the food, and everyone hurriedly gathered around again, but this time no one ate first, Li Ce smiled when he saw this, and took a piece of sauce meat into his mouth and chewed it, and said while eating: "Don't worry, this is a gift from a friend outside of mine, it must be non-poisonous." ”
Except for Yu San, the other three saw that Li Ce had eaten, and hurriedly grabbed it.
Cui'er's ears were good, and she asked Li Ce, "What is poisonous or not?" What did Li Gongzi say? ”
"Oh, it's nothing, there is Lao Cui'er, go back and tell your young lady, and say that Li Ce has thanked you. Well, it's cold in prison, you go back quickly. ”
"Well, I know, my young lady said that when the son is released from prison, she will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the son, hehe......" The little girl covered her mouth and smiled.
"Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint your young lady, forget it, you can go back." Li Ce said with a sigh. He thought to himself: Damn, if it weren't for being in a desperate situation, there was a beauty who showed favor like this, and I have always boasted of being romantic, how could I be so incomprehensible, what a waste!
Cui'er saw that Li Ce's expression was a little sluggish, and thought that he was exhausted because of today's incident on the street, so she immediately said: "Then I'll go back, Li Gongzi have a good rest." ”
Li Ce sat there and nodded, and didn't look at Cui'er and turned to leave. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yu San, holding a small wine bottle and saying, "Come, third brother, I will toast you." ”
Yu San frowned, slowly took the wine glass, and said, "Brother, since you refuse to go with your brother, is there no other way?" You don't know a noble person who can save you? ”
Yu San was actually just out of comfort, and said this casually, but he didn't expect Li Ce's eyes to suddenly light up after hearing this, he raised his head suddenly, and suddenly thought of someone, he hurriedly got up, grabbed the fence tightly with his hand and shouted loudly: "Cui'er!" Cui'er ......"
Li Ce was nervous for a while, and secretly prayed that Cui'er hadn't gone far yet, but he shouted for a while that Cui'er didn't come, and the jailer scolded and came over.
