Chapter 44: Childish Rain
"Liu Ergou who killed a thousand knives! Hurt me to be so fielded..."Li Hua lay alone on the sparse straw in a women's cell, and kept scolding in her mouth.
"Dare to ask this lady, what did you do to come in?" Someone in the cell opposite asked, the voice sounding young.
"Phew! What big deal can be? I just picked up a baby, and looked at the fine skin and tender meat that could be sold for a few dollars, but I didn't expect the mutton to be eaten, but it was fishy. "What better thing can you get into a cell? What's more, it's all like this now. Li Hua didn't hide it either, and replied angrily.
Dongli Country's punishment for privately trafficking children is not as severe as that of Mingyue Country and Puzhao Kingdom, and she has already found out. If you commit this in the east, if you have money to dredge it, you can be locked up for three or five years at most, and you can be released after completing your sentence. When she was in Mingyue Kingdom, several mothers-in-law who committed the crime of human trafficking with her were in prison for less than three days, and when they found out the truth, they were all sentenced to death. If she hadn't used her body to seduce the yacha who had coveted her for a long time, she was able to escape by clever tricks, and I am afraid that she would have been in a different place by now.
This Dongli country is glamorous on the surface, but it is actually rotten on the inside. The emperor was bewitched by the adulterous concubine again, and indulged in the harem all day long without asking about political affairs, and the officials below were even more incompetent than the other. In time, she threw her flattering eyes at the head of this cell and showed her shoulders to the yacha, and with her good figure, let alone three or five years, she might be able to get out of this unfortunate place in less than three months.
Thinking about this, Li Hua straightened her hair that was messy and knotted due to the smashing of eggs and the adhesion of the egg liquid, and her face showed a little charm.
"Do you also do such immoral things as selling children? Where did you pick up the kid? The voice asked again.
Life in prison is indeed boring and boring, and Li Hua, who was in a panic, saw that the other party was interested in chatting, and she did not defend herself. Then she passed by Dongzilin, what kind of dead bodies were everywhere, how the child cried, how she found the child from the mechanism on the carriage, and what kind of objects she took from the child...
One by one. The man seemed to be very curious about what was on the child's body, and asked a number of details and where the child was now.
"Carried away by a veiled woman. Bah! He spat out again and said: "Liu Ergou, who killed a thousand knives, said that the child was born to that woman, and took the child from me." That boy is so good-looking, but it's worth fifty taels of silver! Liu Ergou and the woman gave me this set, and I didn't let him go even if I was a ghost. In the end, he defended himself again: "Besides, how can this be regarded as a lack of virtue? If I hadn't picked him up, I wouldn't have had to go back and search his enemies. In that case, I saved his life. β
"This lady is very true." The girl in the opposite cell walked out from the dark corner and bowed slightly to her: "The little girl, Mrs. Xie, came to the rescue." β
Li Hua was confused, she had never saved anyone, but she had harmed many people. He was overjoyed: "Have I saved you?" Are you here to repay your kindness now? β
"Yes. I'm here to repay the favor. The woman said, and with a quick swing of the dagger in her hand, the chain on the cell door fell neatly to the ground. She walked slowly to the opposite cell and cut the chains of the Li Hua cell door. In Li Hua's surprised smile, the dagger that sharpened iron like clay slashed lightly at her white and slender neck, and Li Hua fell.
The woman squatted down and looked at Li Hua, whose face was distorted with pain, and her face was full of gratitude: "Madame does have a bit of a posture. Fortunately, I saved the child, so I was able to get on the road. This is really a blessing from the previous life. β
Blood gushed out, and Li Hua was still lying on the sparse straw, her body convulsing constantly.
"By the way, didn't Mrs. say that she wouldn't let Liu Ergou go if she was a ghost? Brother Ergou is already waiting for you on the road, you won't be alone. "If someone is a companion, it is not only a lifetime of cultivation, but also the blessings of the previous life.
The woman's tone was unconcealed and she walked away slowly, and there were many jailers who were crooked along the road. Li Hua's consciousness gradually blurred, but she could still clearly hear the woman's sigh echoing in the deathly silence of the prisonβ
"I thought there would be some repentance..."
...
As soon as she broke into the room, Chi Jing woke up. Holding the dagger under the quilt, Chi Jing looked at the uninvited guest in front of him. At a glance, she knew the identity of the person who came.
"Girl, take the liberty of bothering you." The woman in front of her was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a fairy appearance. The body is delicate and slender, and it looks weak, reminiscent of the delicate flowers on the branches that can't stand the toss in spring.
But being able to enter the Wuhua Courtyard guarded by Nie Yihan silently, and still being able to touch her quietly and accurately, Chi Jing knew that she would never be as weak and deceitful as she looked.
The woman saw that Chi Jing was still silent, and she didn't want to waste time. Then he asked straight to the point, "Girl, what is your relationship with the children in that room?" β
It turned out that it was for the child, and Chi Jing found that it was no wonder that he felt that this girl was a little familiar between her eyebrows, and she thought that the child's family had found it. Fang Cai said: "It's not a relative, it's not a reason." β
"Then why did I hear outside that this is your flesh and blood with the ruffian surnamed Liu?" The woman's expression was slightly innocent, as if she really came to the door to inquire out of curiosity.
It's also a drama spirit. However, someone came to claim it, and Chi Jing didn't make a mistake with her. smiled slightly: "Girl, are you from the wolf village?" This kid is really the little master in your village? β
Now it was the girl's turn to be surprised. "How does the girl know?"
"How can I be sure that the child belongs to yours? Is there any evidence? If so, I will return it to you. Ji Jing didn't answer, but asked.
The girl was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "The jade pendant and other things on the child's body have been looted away by the plum flower, but when he was taken away, he should be wearing a small coat made of gold silk cotton." There is also a little red mark under the child's ear, which is not very clear. β
Chi Jing nodded and called, "Jade bottle, take the child out." β
...
The jade bottle and the child stayed in the ear room, and she heard every word from the pool room. When she walked out of the ear room with the child in her arms, looking at the girl who had some of the same eyebrows and eyes as the child in her arms, she felt sad and inexplicably reluctant.
She paced to the girl, and instructed, "The boy had a fever all night last night, and it was not until dawn that the fever subsided. When he wakes up, if there is no way to feed him for a while, you should feed him some vegetable porridge, sprinkle some salt in the porridge, and make it light. "There is no reluctance in his eyes.
In this way, how can the woman still have half a doubt? There is no need to test again, it seems that this is the main one who saved her nephew, and what to say about Liu Ergou's flesh and blood, I am afraid it is also an expedient measure to snatch people from the hands of human traffickers. The little baby was finally brought back into her arms, and the woman's eyes were red.
"Little girl Li Zhiyu, thank you two girls for saving my nephew Li Yuxing." As he spoke, he took out a gray jade talisman with a wolf in his sleeve: "This is a token of the wolf village, if the girl has a place to help in the future, and take this wolf talisman to the wolf village, we will work together to achieve a wish for the girl." β
