3 Chapter 3
There were no lights in the cell, only a faint glimmer of light from the torches in the verandah.
Red and darkness were intertwined, he choked and trembled, hot tears slid down his cheeks, soaking Gu Guan's fingertips.
Xie Yu nodded vigorously.
Weak movements, but you can see that he has done his best.
That's good.
Gu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, she relaxed her movements and put Xie Qi back on the ground, just calm down, just have the will to survive.
With such a serious injury, I don't have a strong will to survive, but I'm afraid that it will be difficult to survive it.
But before that, Gu Wan had to hurry up and treat his wounds.
After she said goodbye, she quickly took off her shoes, and pulled out a very thin ear-piercing silver chisel from the gap in the soles of her shoes - this was what she had prepared for herself, to defend herself and worry about shackles or something, but she didn't expect to use it first.
It is said that in ancient times, reed locks were common, and the skill was to find the lock cylinder, press and retreat and rotate again, and it was not difficult to spend effort and effort.
Gu Wan tinkered for a while, and finally heard a crisp "click", and she successfully opened the fine iron fence door.
Carefully holding the copper lock and iron chain, and placing it on the ground, Gu Wan opened the fence door and went into the prison, uncovered the messy and broken clothes of Xie Ci, and gasped.
The whip marks and knife marks were crisscrossed, the scorched red iron was one after another, and the ten fingers of both hands were pinched by the fingers so bloodstained that she couldn't straighten it, she quickly pinched the phalanges, fortunately there were no comminuted fractures.
Gu Wan felt very uncomfortable in his heart, a child, he hadn't even officially entered the army, as for it?
She grabbed the snow from the wooden bowl, rubbed her hands clean, and finally grabbed all the snow in the bowl and held it in the palm of her hand, squeezing it tightly.
- She has no salt, nothing, so she can only melt the snow so hard.
It was supposed to grin his teeth, but after reading the bloody thanks, the cold didn't seem to be a big deal.
Gu Wan covered it for a while, and barely turned a little water out, the snow water was mixed with ice, and it could barely be used to clean the wound.
"You bear with it."
She said to Xie Ci, who nodded silently.
As soon as the cold water was poured and scrubbed vigorously, the bloody gourd-like flesh under his palm immediately tensed and twitched, Xie Ci clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, without saying a word or struggling.
The snow water turned into blood water and sewage, and a bowl of water was quickly used up, Gu Wan immediately turned around and drilled out of the dry canal to retrieve another bowl of snow.
I don't know how many times I ran like this, on a cold day, Gu Wan ran out of a hot sweat, that is, her hands were cold, and she finally carefully cleaned all the wounds of Xie Ci.
The boy was still awake, and after the bloody scrubbing was completed, he lay weakly on the bed made of prison clothes, and he was not unconscious the whole time.
Gu Wan was very satisfied with his willpower.
It's just that with such a serious injury, willpower alone may not be enough.
Gu Wan thought for a moment, looked up and glanced out of the corridor for a moment, and walked out lightly.
- She thought, there are so many wounded and sick people in this sick cell, and there will always be one or two who can't breathe for the time being, so the officer in charge of the sick cell should have some wound medicine and medicine to treat the disease, right?
Gu Wan licked his lips, leaned on the fine iron prison door to observe for a moment, and decisively opened the cell door with a silver drill.
Pull it away gently and dodge out.
The corridor was quiet, and every twenty or thirty meters there was a pine torch, which was almost burning to the end, and the wood chips kept falling with it.
This long corridor was full of sick prisoners, and next to it there were three or four large cells of similar condition, and beyond that, there were many smaller individual cells, all of which were surrounded by iron bars, and in which they were tortured or lying, all of them were adult male prisoners.
Gu Wan didn't know if they were sober or not, they were all motionless anyway, and occasionally moaned. groaned, but didn't look up at the hallway.
Her steps were light and fast, and she came to the end after a while, standing in the corner of the wall and peeking out, a vacant space of about ten meters square, there was a table and a square table, the square table was for the servants to eat, the table was a desk, the side shelf was placed with the roster rice bowl and other things, the table oil lamp was a long stick, and on the left side of the open space was a masonry staircase leading to the top.
Sure enough, no one!
Gu Wan immediately came out of the corridor, looked up at the stairs, and at the end there was lattice-shaped moonlight and snow light thrown in through the fence door, and the "creaking" sound of the patrol soldier stepping on the snow could be faintly heard.
Gu Wan quickly trotted over to the back of the case, opened three or four drawers and cabinet doors in a row, and sure enough, she found more than a dozen bottles and cans, she opened the lid one by one and sniffed it, and soon found the white medicine, and a few bottles of blue and white porcelain bottles that were obviously more valuable than the white medicine, she opened it and saw that it was Jinchuang medicine.
Jinchuang medicine has been lost in modern times, the main medicine is "dragon bone" and "male turtle", the turtle is okay, the keel should be a dragon bone fossil in later generations, how rare this thing is needless to say, so it is lost.
——Jinchuang medicine is a standing medicine in the army, the Xie family has it, the effect of the medicine is very good, the wounded soldiers wash the wound and apply it, and the wound can heal soon, and the effect is better and faster than the white medicine.
When Gu Wan saw this medicine, he was overjoyed, quickly picked up seven or eight large bottles and small bottles, and ran quickly to the end of the corridor.
With this medicine, Xie Ci is really saved.
Gu Wan opened the medicine bottle with the medicine seal intact, applied medicine to Xie Ci, and used three bottles, after finishing the work, Gu Wan peeled off a dry prison clothes from the fresh corpse, changed Xie Ci, and then wiped the sewage on the ground with the dirty prison clothes that had been changed, and put the corpse back.
In the end, he used snow water to dissolve the pills and reduce the internal injuries of the fever, and a total of five pills were dissolved, and they were fed to Xie Ci.
He had a high fever, and he was seriously injured and wiped with snow water, Gu Wan went for a while, he was already groggy from burning, and at this time he struggled to open his eyelids a little and tried his best to swallow the potion.
The wings of his nose fluttered hard, and the breath that came out was like fire.
Gu Wan stuffed the remaining wax pills into his palm, there was only so much she could do.
Xie Ci tried to open his eyes, his throat was congested and hoarse, "...... Thank you, thank you. ”
Gu Wan patted his left upper arm, which was still intact in terms of skin and flesh, smiled in response, and moved him to the pile of wheat straw that she had cleaned up that seemed to be a mess but was actually dry.
You're welcome.
Boy, it's the greatest thank you for surviving well.
It's been a long time, and it's almost dawn, so after Gu Wan moved his resignation to the wheat straw stack, he hurriedly stuffed the remaining snow into the empty medicine bottle, and then plugged the wooden stopper.
- She moved all the new medicine bottles with good wax seals, put them on the outside and used half of them without moving, the wax seals carefully re-pasted them and scraped them as smooth as possible with their fingernails, and then pasted the seal back on, and then stuffed it back into the innermost part again.
These new medicine bottles are covered with dust, and no one should take them in a short time, as long as they survive these few days, they will be fine!
Gu Wan carefully put the medicine bottles back in their original state, swept the end of this place and the large cell, and before she left, she took one last look at the thanks, the latter was deep and sleepy and motionless, Gu Wan turned around and got out of the dry ditch.
……
When I went out, the sky was bright.
Gu Wan lifted the lid of the dry canal back, and then re-fastened the iron tenon, the design of this cover is very ingenious, there is a tenon, even if the prisoner can still move and find this vent, I don't know the location of the tenon, it is impossible to lift the lid and climb out.
She cleaned up the snow and burrowed back from the tool room.
The prison was dark, still immersed in the night, this was the coldest time of the day, the messenger rolled up a thick coat and snored like thunder, Gu Wan crawled back along the gap in the fence in the dark, and the second sister-in-law Xie, who had not slept all night, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly quietly gave way to the position.
Gu Wan slowly lay back, the slight sound of wheat straw "Xisuo", and the sound of Xisuo also came from the opposite cell, as if someone glanced at this side.
It's just that this position was specially chosen by Gu Wan and Xie Er's sister-in-law, and it was dark and dark, and the other party couldn't see anything.
After Gu Wan lay down, he exhaled silently and long.
Only then did she feel that her hands were too cold to work, and she was afraid that she would get frostbite this year.
Second sister-in-law Xie held her hands in her arms and warmed them.
Gu Wan didn't pretend to say no, she lay on her side and slept on the wheat straw stack, looking at the hazy sky slowly revealing through the cracks of the large window sealed with wooden boards, she was not cold, and she was still a little sweaty, but it was estimated that it would be cold after the sweat went down, and the fine cotton underwear that she specially changed when she was hiding the silver chisel was soaked, and she was still very hungry, and the empty stomach and stomach had a faint colic, and after three or two months, it was estimated that the stomach problems came out.
What a decline!
Gu Wan is a female detective in modern times, studying forensic medicine in college. She was born in a family of public security, her grandfather and father and uncle are both old criminal policemen, and she has volunteered since she was a child to punish evil and adultery, and to be an excellent and handsome female criminal policeman.
In the year when the college entrance examination was about to fill in the volunteers, my father was stabbed by gangsters when he was chasing the case, and finally cut a kidney to survive. When the doctor's mother and grandfather didn't let her report to the investigation department again, she cried, made trouble and hanged herself, and finally she couldn't resist the tears offensive, so she had to compromise and report to the forensic doctor.
The forensic doctor is also a criminal police officer.
It's just that after graduating, due to personal reasons, she gave up her forensic career and opened a detective agency with her friends.
She has been exposed to it since she was a child, and she has taken countless classes in the investigation department, and she has bought a big house in two years, and has become an outstanding young woman with a house and a car in contemporary times.
But who knew that just when she was gearing up to make persistent efforts, a big flower pot fell from the sky and smashed directly on the back of her head, smashing her back to ancient times!
Gu Guan: "......"
It's really a god of decay, she hates all the people who attack things from high altitudes!
After reminiscing about the previous life, the day was full, and the messenger dragged a large bucket to distribute breakfast, and said in a good mood: "It's cheaper for you, this is the new year, and there are two cakes." ”
Gu Wan was holding two vegetable cakes that were so rough that they could break their teeth, she wanted to beat her thighs, she had seen a lot of them in such a big cell, and it was the first time she had sat here.
It's impossible to adapt, but it's better to be alive than dead.
When I think about it like this, I feel much more comfortable.
Gu Wan laboriously nibbled on the minced vegetable flatbread, she had already thought about it, the original owner did not have many relatives, and she didn't like to go out to make friends under the fence, and her only wish was the things she couldn't let go, only the Xie family.
She thought that by helping them settle down, she would get rid of the tragic fate of her previous life, and she should repay the wish of the original owner.
Although she committed suicide, this girl who is also called Gu Juan is just a girl with different words with the same sound has not done anything wrong, Gu Wan can live again, she thought, what should I do for the other party.
Help others, and help yourself together.
As for the resettlement of the Xie family, she was not interested in Xie Ci, but fortunately, the people of Dawei were quite open, especially in the border cities, saving money to open a tavern, being a little proprietress and selling wine or something.
As for the flying life and big house in the previous life, I have already said goodbye to her.
Gu Wan was a little mournful, after eating the cakes, he lay in the corner and rubbed his hands around, chilblains or something, can there be one less.
As for the situation about Xie Ci, Gu Wan only whispered a few words to Xie Er's sister-in-law, and the others didn't mention it, after all, this women's prison was overcrowded and not suitable for secrets.
Speaking of thanks, Gu Wan was still very worried, afraid that he would not survive the high fever, in this era without antibiotics, such a serious injury really had to be walked through the ghost gate, and it was normal to not be able to come back after entering.
I was worried that he didn't eat in order not to show the stuffing, which would make it worse, so I left half a bowl of mush, and planned to go over again tonight.
If there is no accident, they will be on the road to exile in the wind and snow in the next few days.
But a few days is a long time.
Now I just pray to God and worship Buddha, and everything will go well.
……
However, it backfired.
The final development of things was far from what Gu Wan expected, and he rushed in the other direction.
What she expected was that the best outcome was to wait for the resignation to come out smoothly, and then get a board wheel to push him on the road, which turned out to be impossible to happen.
Gu Guan didn't go to the second year of junior high school, because there was an errand who molested a new girl today, and the girl died directly by touching the pillar, because the family's crime was not serious and there were relatives to beat it, Cao Shuchang scolded and made a fuss for a long time, and the family cried all night long, and they were stuffed in the opposite cell, and Gu Wan couldn't go.
In the third year of junior high school, in the first half of the night, Gu Wan quietly got up.
She followed the same path, cautiously passing through the fence gate tool room, and then went straight to the inmate with the bowl in hand.
She quietly stepped on the wheat straw and "rustled" slightly, Xie Ci in the small prison immediately looked up, in the black cell, Gu Wan "shhh", she went over lightly and looked at it, his lips were dry and his face was pale, and his hair left traces of sweat and dryness, but his eyes were clear, he struggled for two days, and finally survived the high fever and regained his senses.
Gu Wan uncovered his clothes and looked at it, the wound had already dried up, the bloody wound was in a state of convergence, the blood scabs were all dry, and the top layer of blood-soaked medicinal powder was also dry, and there was no oozing.
She is very happy, as long as such a wound is maintained, it will not develop in the direction of infection, and it will eventually heal.
"You're awesome, great!" Gu Wan praised him.
Xie Ci sat up slowly, holding the half of the empty bowl of cold paste in his hand, Gu Wan saw that his wound and even his pants had faded, but at this moment, no one had even a trace of inappropriate emotions.
He seemed to want to say something to Gu Guan, but as soon as he moved his lips, suddenly, the two of them heard footsteps and talking at the same time.
Footsteps descended the stairs, several people, stopped in the open space, followed by the jingle of the key handed, and the sound of talking continued, but two footsteps came in the direction of the corridor.
The other party came quickly, and the heavy footsteps characteristic of the military boots landing on the ground were particularly clear in the deep corridor, and soon came to the end, just right, stopped outside the door of the cell where Xie Ci was, opened the door and entered.
Gu Wan was startled, the two of them heard the footsteps for a moment, Xie Ci handed over the bowl, Gu Wan immediately took it, and quickly locked the fine iron door back, she rolled on the spot, quickly drilled back into the vent, and carefully lifted the lid and moved it back.
Xie Yu immediately cleaned up and lay down, making a speech of high fever.
The two of them came very quickly, and the other party had already arrived.
Gu Wan held her breath, at this angle, she just saw the cell door "crackling" open, and two black figures came in.
I saw that the other party had a clear goal, and after adapting to the darkness for a moment, he went straight to the small prison where Xie Ci was.
One of them peeked in, looked at it for a moment, and nodded behind him.
The other person, with a twitch in his arms, actually pulled out a long white silk!
Gu Guan's eyes widened.
Her heart was pounding, and in an instant, she suddenly understood everything.
- They want to die of thanksgiving.
Due to the law, before the sixteenth day of thanks, the maximum exile was exiled.
"Death from illness" is not accidental, it is inevitable!
Inside and outside the prison, Gu Wan and Xie Ci's faces changed.
