Zhou smiled bitterly: "No matter where it is, it is worse than here. Liu Si killed someone, and we, mother and son, will definitely not be able to stay in Jiangling anymore. Instead of being pointed at and poked in the spine every day, it is better for us to leave early." "
Her concerns are justified.
It's just that she is a woman with a child, and there are many dangers outside.
Ye Chutang asked: "Aren't you going back to your parents' home?"
There were tears in the corners of Zhou's eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head to wipe them away: "I will only cause trouble for them when I go back, so forget it. I will just wait for the last departure of the person who will send me home tomorrow, and then I will take the child and leave here."
Ye Chutang nodded clearly, and finally put the purse into Zhou's hand.
Zhou hurriedly refused: "Doctor Ye, you have helped us a lot before! I don't dare to trouble you again!"
Ye Chutang patted her hand and said softly: "The world is difficult. Even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about your children."
Zhou's eyes turned red and she was about to kneel down to Ye Chutang.
Ye Chutang stopped her movement by raising his palm slightly, pointed to the box next to him, and said with a warm smile: "This is the hibiscus cake bought from Xinghualou. The children like it the most. It's not worth much, so you can accept it too. Bar."
Zhou nodded with tears in her eyes, thanked her again and again, and then left.
The curtain was lifted and lowered, and Ye Chutang got up and washed his hands, wiping his slender green-white fingers clean little by little with a handkerchief.
Then she went out.
"Ayan, I'm going out for a trip and I'll be back in half an hour."
Ye Jingyan responded: "Okay."
After Ye Yunfeng finished punching, the breath that was blocked in his chest still hadn't come out.
He simply returned to the front yard and happened to see Ye Chutang going out. He walked next to Ye Jingyan and asked curiously: "Third brother, it's almost dark today. Why are you going out at this time?"
"My sister naturally has her own reasons for doing things."
Ye Yunfeng thought about it and simply sat down and wiped the sweat from his head.
Ye Jingyan glanced at him: "Why, you still feel unhappy?"
Ye Yunfeng pursed his lips tightly and said in a low voice after a while: "I just feel aggrieved! The evidence is clear and conclusive, everyone can see what's going on! How could it end up like this!"
The real mastermind is at large and does not even need to pay the slightest price for it!
"Is this really the only way this can happen?"
Ye Jingyan put away the book in her hand, paused for a moment, and then said: "Who knows until the last minute?"
…
"What? Doctor Ye, do you want to visit Liu Si?"
Wu Xu suddenly felt a headache when he heard this.
"This... it's not that I don't want to help you, it's because Liu Si will be beheaded at noon tomorrow. According to the rules, outsiders are not allowed to visit during this time..."
Ye Chutang handed over the food box in his hand and smiled helplessly: "I know this matter makes you very embarrassed, but I have no other choice. Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty. What is in this food box? The buns were made by Mrs. Zhou herself, and she wanted to give them to Liu Si as a last meal, after all, they are just a couple."
Wu Xu was a little surprised: "Why doesn't she send it tomorrow?"
No matter what kind of crime he committed, he was still allowed to eat the last farewell meal, so there was no need to deliver it tonight.
Ye Chutang paused and sighed.
"Mr. Zhou... will not go to the execution ground to see her off tomorrow. Liu Si killed someone, and the impact of this incident is bad. If she and her child go there, they might also be implicated and criticized by everyone."
Wu Xu suddenly realized: "That's true..."
"So she came to ask me for help, and I couldn't refuse." Ye Chutang's lips curved, his eyebrows soft and calm, "But if it still doesn't work... then forget it."
She bowed and turned to leave.
"etc!"
Wu Xu stopped her and gritted his teeth.
"I'll take you there!"
…
The prison was dark and cramped, with a strong smell of blood floating in the air, accompanied by painful moans and cries from time to time, which made people shudder.
Ye Chutang followed Wu Xu and walked forward. The further inside, the stronger the feeling of despair and suffocation became.
Wu Xu tilted his head slightly and whispered: "It's just ahead, but you only have half a quarter of an hour, you must-"
boom!
Suddenly, a man covered in blood rushed over from the side and hit the railing hard. His skinny arms stretched out as hard as possible, as if he wanted to grab something.
The hoarse and shrill shouts were particularly harsh in this prison: "Sir! Sir, I was wronged!"
"What are you doing! Just be honest!"
Wu Xu scolded fiercely and beat the man back with a stick.
Seemingly frightened by him, the prisoner shrank back and leaned against the wall, shaking.
Wu Xu looked at Ye Chutang with some worry: "Doctor Ye, I'm sorry, did I scare you? That's how it is here, there are always a few crazy people..."
Ye Chutang shook his head and smiled at him: "No problem."
Looking at the gentle and indifferent face in front of him, Wu Xu's remaining words suddenly got stuck in his throat.
Most people would be very uncomfortable when they first come to a place like this, but Ye Chutang, a seventeen-year-old girl, can actually remain calm.
It seemed that the things around her couldn't stir up the slightest disturbance in her.
Wu Xu suppressed his thoughts and continued to lead Ye Chutang inside.
Finally, Ye Chutang saw Liu Si.
He was unkempt, dirty, and stained with a lot of blood. It looked like it had been accumulated over the past few days, and some places had turned dark.
Wu Xu wisely stepped back and helped Ye Chutang look out for the situation.
Ye Chutang took a step forward.
"Liu Si."
Liu Si showed no reaction, as if he didn't hear anything, and his whole body was lifeless.
Ye Chutang continued: "I will deliver food to you on behalf of Mrs. Zhou."
Liu Si finally made some noise, looked up and said in a hoarse voice, "Where is she?"
…
Half an hour passed quickly, and Ye Chutang came to Wu Xu's side.
Wu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced into the prison. Liu Si was lowering his head and biting the bun frantically.
He looked away: "Doctor Ye, please."
…
There are no stars or moon tonight, and the evening breeze blows from the window with a hint of coolness.
Shen Yanchuan, who had been sitting alone in front of the chessboard for a long time, suddenly felt something and looked sideways.
Two little buns popped out of the window sill.
Shen Yanchuan's lips curled up: "The door is open."
The two little buns swayed and disappeared. Then, the ajar door was pushed open, and a round little head poked in.
Xiao Wu's big black grape-like eyes flickered. He looked at Shen Yanchuan and then at the chessboard, seemingly curious.
Shen Yanchuan waved to her.
Xiao Wu moved over with short legs and stood by the chessboard and looked at it seriously.
Shen Yanchuan found it quite interesting: "Want to learn?"
Xiao Wu turned his head and glanced slowly at the sunspot in his hand without saying anything.
——I can’t play this game as well as my sister!
At this time, the wind blew open the window on the other side, revealing a tall figure.
"I go!"
A voice full of shock came,
"Shen, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have already raised a daughter!?"
