Chapter 161: Trouble in Meaux (3)
To the surprise of the three of us, we spent more than half a month in the cell, where no one came to see us, and we didn't hear any news from the outside.
"Nan Kite, what the hell do you think is going to be locked up here?" The most Gu Ran said in this was when we could go out.
I was playing with a straw, and then I told her what I was thinking, "I think ah, the person who is trying to get the three of us in is not necessarily trying to harm us, it is very likely that he is trying to save us, although I don't know who this person is, but I am not as worried as you." ”
Gu Ran gave me a roll of the eyes, "Of course you're not worried, but I'm worried about Ling Han, I can't find out the slightest news here, I don't know what is going on in Ling Mansion now, and I don't know if the sky has changed outside, I feel like a waste person now, I can't do anything." ”
Meng Meng also joined us in the discussion at this time, "Mrs. Ling, I actually think Nan Kite is right, you really don't have to worry so much, you think we were taken away by the officers and soldiers in Hualou, so there is a Yuheng prince outside who will run around for us, I don't believe he can let us be locked up for so long, the only reason that makes sense is ......"
"It's he who knows who got us in, and then he knows we're safest here."
In fact, I guessed this on the third day of my imprisonment, and the reasons were none other than these points: first, although we had no personal freedom, we had no worries about food and clothing, and we had meat and nourishing medicine; The second point is that we were arrested for obscenity, which is really too far-fetched, and the third and most important point is that the jailer's eldest brother looks like he is afraid that he will not be able to take care of us, as if someone has greeted him in advance.
Although we coerced and seduced the eldest brother of the jailer, his mouth was firm, and he refused to reveal the slightest rumor, even when we asked if there was anything big going on outside, he was silent.
It was time for lunch again, and the jailer brought us delicious food, including beef soup and roast chicken, as well as two plates of seasonal vegetables.
Recently, because I can't do anything here, my brain is basically in a state of shutdown, and I found that my stomach is now starting to show its pregnancy, and the amount of food has increased a lot.
"Big brother, can you help me buy some snacks on the street, I'm very greedy, and help buy two of the most popular small books, it's boring enough for us to whining in prison every day."
I really don't know how long we're going to be locked up like this, and we won't be able to leave this cell until the child in my belly is unloaded!
After hearing my request, the eldest brother of the jailer looked a little embarrassed, "No, I said girl, your request is a bit excessive, our cell is a cell, not a place to play, why are you still commanding me." ”
"Big brother, you and I are both understanding people, and we both know that we are going to go out sooner or later, otherwise you wouldn't have taken care of us for so many days, I just want to know who entrusted you, we have to know who is the person who sent us in."
The eldest brother of the jailer said, "Didn't I say this, I really don't know, as for why I sent you delicious food, it was entirely because, because now that the conditions in the cell have improved, you don't have to ask so much, I have to go, there will be something to do in a while!" ”
"Alas, I didn't say, tsk, you're like this!" I don't think he has anything important to do at all, but he is afraid that if he stays any longer, he will definitely not be able to hide it if I ask him to get to the bottom of it!
It's not that I don't dislike the bad environment here, I just want to go out to know the situation outside, but unfortunately with Gu Ran's martial arts, I can't get out at all!
"Okay, Nan Kite, don't think about it, if you come, you will be safe, let's wait, whether it's good or bad, there will always be a day when it will come to an end, besides, it's good that you're here now, at least you can raise the fetus with peace of mind, the most taboo thing for this pregnant woman is to think a lot." Gu Ran, who was originally more anxious than me, comforted me now, okay, okay, I, a pregnant woman, will obediently eat and raise the baby.
In this way, the three of us spent five days in the cell peacefully, and the jailer brother actually found us some interesting things in the back.
"I said, you three just stay here, and don't ask me about the outside and who got you in, by the way, these books are read by some girls, I bought them for you, and it took me a lot of effort to do this."
"Thanks, but I don't want to read books right now, I just want to play something else." I asked for this book for Gu Ran and Mengmeng, I'm not a literate person, and it's easy to get sleepy when I read books, my sleeping time day and night takes up more than half, are pregnant people so sleepy!
The eldest brother of the jailer said, "Girl, what do you want, didn't I buy you food and food, you are a bit of a bully!" ”
In fact, I just watched him and his cell boss playing pai gow these days, watching them shouting so loudly, I really want to play, not to win, but to feel the excitement of the atmosphere, if I don't find some fun for myself, I think I may be suffocated!
I took out my purse from my waist, and then took a piece of broken silver from it, "I want to play pai gow with you, I'm so bored, just play it once, I promise not to bother you again after playing, I'm serious!" ”
Gu Ran also followed suit at this time, "I also want to play, usually I can only play with Ling Han at home, or I can be a watchman." ”
The jailer's eldest brother shook his head again and again, "You guys are thinking too much, no, no, if something happens, I can't pay the responsibility." ”
I gritted my teeth and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then you go and tell the person behind the scenes, I can't stand it, I'm leaving, if you don't let me go, I'll kill myself to show you!" ”
"Don't, don't, auntie, let you play, I can't let you play!"
But it was impossible for us to get out of the cell and play outside, and the jailers weren't stupid, and if we got out, we would have run away, so in the end they put the table in which we played cards.
Not to mention, once this person has a focus to pay attention to, this mood has improved, but at the beginning, Gu Ran and I always lost money, and I didn't have much silver on me, and I gave all the gold leaves to Xiao Jinzi before, and now I only have the last penny left.
"If you want me to say, you little girls should stop playing, if we win this last penny, maybe you will still have to owe me, and we won't pay you back."
Tsk tsk, who was the person who didn't agree with me to play at first, and now I'm so happy to win, alas, I really underestimate them.
"That's good, let's bet big, you probably won't be able to look at my money, if I win, I won't win much, let's bet on the last handful, only compared to the size, if I win, you have to pay me back what I lost before!"
The jailer's eldest brother and his boss actually laughed out loud at this time, and at the end of the laugh they actually held their stomachs in both hands, as if what I had just said was a big joke.
"I said, little girl, don't you think that this is more than the size of the wrist, your breath is too big, if you really win, we will return all the money to you, but if you lose, what mortgage do you use to us, this IOU is not counted, in the future, when you leave, we will ask for money."
These people are really shrewd to get home, and they are really not easy to fool masters, "In this way, if I lose, I will give you this." ”
At this moment, the most valuable thing on my body is the two jade pendants and the poisonous hairpin that Gu Ran gave me before, but I definitely can't give them these things, so what I can give them is a bottle of medicine that Yuheng once gave me, this medicine is a hard-to-find thing, and now I use it as gambling money, if Yuheng knows, I guess he will have to kill me!
Meng Meng knew this thing, she hurriedly stepped forward to stop me, "Nan Kite, don't be stupid, this thing can't be used like this, if Yu Heng knows that you don't care so much about what he gave you, then he won't have to die of sadness!" ”
Meng Meng is not wrong in what he said, what happened to me, how could I suddenly become such a person, I shouldn't be infected with this gambling addiction, I've only been playing for two or three days, how did it become like this!
"What, forget it, I won't play anymore, I won't play anymore." I wanted to shirk it, but the cell boss saw at a glance that the thing I had just taken out was worth a lot of money, not to mention the medicine inside, that is, the bottle used to hold the medicine was made of the finest jade.
The cell boss said, "This is not good, let's all say it, you said you wanted to play first, why don't you say you don't play now, you can't be so creditless, you can bet on the size of the bet, you say it's a big bet or a small bet." ”
He clearly wanted to drive me to the shelf, and I waved my hand again and again, "I don't want to play, I don't bet." ”
"Bet, who said not to bet!" All of us were so focused on the table that we didn't realize that someone was in the cell at this time!
This voice is Yan Beishen!
I turned around to look and saw that Yan Beishen's face was calm at this time, but I felt that my disaster had really begun now!
"Lord Wang, my subordinates have seen Lord Wang, Lord Wang, we are, we ......" The cell boss had a strong face just now, but at this time he completely became timid.
And Yan Beishen had already walked to my side at this time, followed by Ling Han and Meng Jiao, Gu Ran and Meng Meng both walked to their side at this time.
I had the feeling that I had been caught doing something bad, so I hurriedly grabbed Yan Beishen's hand, but Yan Beishen just glanced at me, and then let me pull it.
"Okay, let's all get up, didn't you just say that you want to bet on the size, I don't like to be greedy, so let's see whose sieve is small." With that, he put the hand I was holding on to the table, and then gestured to me with his eyes.
Come on, who told me to be playful, if I lose, Yan Beishen will definitely not let me go, but if I win, I guess he will not let me go, and now for me, whether I win or lose, it is not conducive to my own scene!
But at this time, the cell boss brother who was as depressed as me was not much better, he estimated that all he originally wanted was to get this jade medicine bottle so that he could go to the pawnshop to pay off the money, but now he must lose to me to get out of the way, but the probability of him losing to me is too low!
The two of us shook it off with the sieve cup for a while, and then Yan Beiyan said one word very calmly, "Open." ”
When we all opened the sieve, it turned out to be unsurprising, I was a five, a three, and a two, while the cell boss had a surprisingly three threes, so I lost to him.
"Well, I lost." I trembled and wanted to take out the jade bottle in my arms, but the cell boss obviously looked like he was about to faint, but fortunately, the witty jailer brother who was standing aside at this time opened his mouth, "This is a best-of-three game, and there are still two more games." ”
"Yes, yes, there are two more rounds, two rounds." The cell boss hurriedly took over as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.
Yan Beishen looked at me, "Don't play yet?" ”
Big brother, you watched me throw the sieve like this, it's like I've done something so sorry for you!
And Ling Han, Meng Meng, Gu Ran and Meng Meng, who were watching the excitement on the side, didn't come forward to help me, especially Gu Ran, who was the first to lose a dime at the beginning, but she was the first to lose, and now this embarrassed expression looking at me is obviously to say, 'I'm sorry, you took this gambling black pot first'.
Forget it, who told me to be careless in making friends!
After the second round of shaking, the two of us opened up, and I narrowly beat the cell boss by one point.
This is the last round left, the cell boss is the first to open it, and when I see it clearly, I gasped, and what he shook out was actually the smallest point, all three were a little, and he was shocked when he saw it.
"This, I've never shaken this small point, I'm this, this ......" Apparently his luck didn't know whether to say good or bad, all in all, I was dead!
I shook it twice in despair, and I didn't hope to win anyway, but just as I was about to put down the sieve, Yan Beishen actually took my hand and shook the sieve cup with my wrist.
