Chapter 401: Dumbness in the Cell
In the county jail, the skylight shows the traces of sunlight, but the cell is still silent.
The women's cell went from seven to three, except that the three women couldn't sing a single play because one of them was mute. The blood stains on the dumb man's hands had slowly fallen off after clotting into blood clots, revealing a pair of white hands.
The mute man was leaning back against the wall, looking up at the skylight, quietly waiting for the moment when the sun shone in through the skylight and fell on the wall.
Not because she longed to see the sun's rays, but because at that moment, she could infer time from the tilt of the sun. For a person who is locked up in such a dark cell, there is nothing more longing for her than knowing the time.
It's just that time passed bit by bit, but the sun still didn't shine in, and the dumb man's neck was a little sore. She couldn't help but change her gaze and fell on the two remaining inmates.
From the previous conversation between the two of them, she knew that one was named Li Chunyan, the daughter of Li Xiancheng in Haikang County; One is named Han Meng'er, who is from Leizhou City.
The former killed someone, so he was sentenced to death; The latter was an attempted murder, but according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he was also sentenced to death. Neither of them has been wronged, and both belong to the category of iron cases.
The two of them may be sympathetic to each other, or they may be more extroverted, and the two of them actually chatted all night last night, and they didn't go to sleep until nearly dawn.
What made her quite helpless was that she had just gotten up now, and she continued to chat excitedly. It's just that the topic of conversation is a little heavy, but they are thinking about what they will do in the next life, and they are planning their next life.
She doesn't really believe in the afterlife. But obviously, these two women believed it, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, I am afraid that only these two people in the world can do this.
Whoa......
Outside, there was the sound of the iron lock being opened, and the door of the cell outside was opened, and the three of them inquired about the voice, and saw three familiar women walking in together.
The mute knew that the cell was going to be noisy again, so he simply closed his eyes. With their different temperaments, she prefers to be quiet and doesn't like this kind of noise.
Sure enough, as the three women entered, the two women were like sisters. is obviously a person who is going to be sent to the guillotine, but he can still be so cheerful, and he can be convinced at first glance.
The mute has always thought that she is the most pessimistic person about life and death, because she has seen too much death. But compared with these two fellow inmates, she found herself falling behind.
"Sister dumb, this pastry is made by Aunt Su Niang, it's delicious, for you!"
She was closing her eyes when she heard a familiar voice. This voice is childish, but it is extraordinarily pleasant, as if it can melt even people with a heart of stone.
She has seen many daughters of official families, rich ladies, and good women known as Living Guanyin.
It's just that these people are friendly, but those eyes can't hide a kind of condescension, only the eyes of this prefect's sister do not have a trace of impurities, and they reveal sincerity everywhere.
However, she didn't really like this kindness, and she didn't want to owe it to anyone. Just like she doesn't want to be nice to anyone, and no one needs to be nice to her, she doesn't owe anything to the world.
"Do you like chicken thighs as much as I do? I also brought oh, you wait! But he heard a deliberately low voice, and then he went away, apparently to get the chicken legs.
She couldn't help but open her eyes, looking at the back of the person who left in a hurry, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. Obviously, in Hu Niu's heart, there is no better food in the world than chicken legs, including the pastries made by Su Niang, who were only sent to her first in order to sell Su Niang's face.
The fragrant chicken thighs were sent over, and this time she didn't choose to refuse.
She first smelled the aroma of meat emitted by the chicken thighs, tore off a large piece with her teeth, and chewed slowly in her mouth, smooth and delicate, making her whole person intoxicated.
Hu Niu was also attracted by the chicken legs, so she swallowed her saliva, and suddenly asked seriously: "Dumb sister, are you wronged like Aunt Zhang Min?" ”
She was slightly stunned, knowing that Hu Niu was with great kindness, and it seemed that she also wanted to overturn the case for her. However, she wanted to refuse Tiger Girl's behavior, but she didn't want to shake her head directly, so she chose to avoid her eyes.
"I know you can't speak, just nod your head!" The tiger girl looked at her persistently.
She was stunned again, not understanding why she was "just nodding her head" instead of "nodding or shaking her head". In a moment, her heart swelled with an inexplicable emotion, moved by this unconditional trust.
"You have to believe me, even if I can't help you, and my brother! My brother is actually very powerful, of course he is not good at fighting, not as good as me! Tiger Niu recommended her brother, but sighed.
"Tiger girl, let's go back!"
"Tiger girl, that dumb man must be a murderer, don't waste your energy!"
"That's it! If you have that skill, you might as well bring me some more delicious food! ”
……
But at this time, the women over there spoke one after another. There was no malice, but when the mute was brought in, his hands and clothes were stained with blood, and there was no doubt that he was a murderer.
Tiger Girl's black and white eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but just as she was about to move away, the disappointed face was quickly replaced by joy. Because at this moment, the mute nodded slightly.
She finally chose to trust, knowing that it would be troublesome and that it would not be a good time, but she had a miraculous trust in her.
As she predicted, when Tiger Niu said that she wanted to leave with her, she met resistance.
"Why not? She was wronged, she nodded! ”
"The order of the canon? What about the orders of the canons? She was wronged!"
"Oh, I'm just taking her to redress her grievances, if you stop me again, I'll call my brother over and you'll be finished!"
……
A Jiupin classic history wants to stop the tiger girl, which is actually a bit difficult. Not to mention that the tiger girl has a unicorn suit on her body, and the people who support her behind her are too powerful, unless these people really don't want to mix.
These jailers understand, but they also have a hard time, even if they can't stop it, they have to pass on the news.
Just when Hu Niu insisted on breaking through this resistance and leaving the county jail with a mute, a jailer quietly left the county jail and hurried towards Jiafu.
"At all costs, you must stop her!"
After learning the news, Jia Bao was immediately furious and smashed the teapot in his hand.
