Chapter 8 The Jailer Is Dead
Although Zhao Ping did not completely believe what the girl in front of him said.
But it was very exciting.
He has always been fond of gambling, and if he has some money in his hand, he wants to run to the gambling shop.
Although he didn't win every time, he was pretty lucky and would win a little money from time to time.
But for some reason, he has been losing for the past half month and has never won even once.
But he felt that he was indeed lucky today.
Today was not his day to be on duty, it was another jailer named Zhu Dahe.
He had a fight with his wife last night and was scratched in the face. He felt shameless to see anyone, so he asked him to help him as a day errand for 20 yuan.
He was short of money recently, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, he encountered a group of fat sheep today and allowed him to collect so many jewelry.
Although most of it has to be turned in, he can also share a lot.
Unexpectedly, the girl said that he would make a fortune today.
Could it be that his fortune really turned out today?
Then he would have to go to the casino to try and win back all the money he lost recently.
As for the two beautiful girls in front of him, they were already in prison anyway and could not escape his grasp.
It is more important to win back the money first, and you can put other things aside first.
Having made up his mind, Zhao Ping said nothing more and waved for Ling Chu and Miss Six to enter the cell.
He wasn't worried that the girl would lie to him. If he didn't win money today, when he came back, there would be countless ways to make the girl regret cheating him.
Zhao Ping's thoughts were not hidden, and Ling Chu could see them clearly.
But she wasn't the least bit scared.
Because she knew that this Zhao Ping left today and would never have the chance to come back again.
Seeing Ling Chu walking into the cell, the sixth girl lowered her head and followed in obediently.
Zhao Ping carried the bag of jewelry and left in a hurry. He must have been eager to share the benefits, and then went to the gambling house to win money.
Seeing that everyone had entered the cell, Ma Dalin prepared to lock the cell door.
When Ling Chu saw this, he quickly said, "Master Ma, could you please give me some water and a steamed bun?"
Because I have been on the road since crossing over, I finally arrived at Shangshu Mansion last night, but because I was too tired, I only had a few bites and then rested.
Today I was woken up by the maid before dawn and went to the main courtyard to pay respects to my elders. Unexpectedly, the Jin Yiwei came to ransack the house. She had been busy helping to find Zangyin, but after that she was arrested and thrown into prison, and she still walked such a long distance.
At the end of the day, let alone meals, she didn't even drink half of the water.
She was tired, thirsty, and hungry now.
The horse jailer glanced at her, frowned and said, "It's not time to distribute food yet, so you can only endure it for now."
Ling Chu felt that her throat was about to smoke.
Looking up at the jailer's face, she suddenly smiled and said, "I see Master Ma's face is rosy and his body is filled with joy... Master Ma, you are blessed with a son, congratulations."
After hearing this, Ma Dalin not only did not smile at all, but also frowned so much that he could kill a fly.
"Girl, I advise you to stop saying these pretentious words. If you want to drink water, just wait."
Ling Chu felt choked in his heart. Did he regard her as a liar?
Tsk, what a look.
If it weren't for a sip of water, she wouldn't bother to waste time.
Unable to fall out, Ling Chu could only suppress his temper and said, "Master Ma, I am not a liar. Your wife did give birth to a son for you."
Ma Dalin's face was full of displeasure, "Girl, I have four girls at home, and my wife's pregnancy is only more than seven months old."
Although he dreamed of having a son, whether it was women with experience in childbirth or stable mothers, when they saw the shape of his wife's belly, they all said that his wife was carrying a daughter again.
Ma Dalin had given up hope and had even made preparations. After giving birth to this child, he no longer planned to let his wife have another child. He really did not have the ability to support any more children.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a jailer walked quickly towards this side from the other end of the cell. He shouted from a distance, "Ma Dalin, your eldest daughter came to report that your wife was premature and gave birth to you." a son."
Ma Dalin was confused at first, then ecstatic, and asked the jailer eagerly, "Wu Hai, my wife really gave birth to a son?"
Jailer Wu nodded, "It's true, but I heard from your daughter that the child was born prematurely and seems to be in poor health. Granny Wen asked you to quickly hire a doctor to diagnose and treat the child."
Ma Dalin was happy and worried at the same time, and immediately said, "Wu Hai, please help me cover my errand for half a day, and I'll go ask the doctor."
Officer Wu had a good relationship with Ma Dalin. He knew how much he wanted a son, so he was happy to sell him a favor. "Okay, don't worry, I will help you with other things. You can go and find a doctor for the child."
Ma Dalin thanked him and walked away ready to leave.
Ling Chu could only raise his voice and shout, "Master Ma, remember to go east to find the doctor."
Ma Dalin paused eagerly. Remembering what the girl had said before, he hurriedly turned around and walked back.
"Why did the girl ask me to go east to find the doctor?"
"The secret must not be leaked. Master Ma, you should hurry up. If it is too late, it will be too late."
Ma Dalin was doubtful, but he remembered that the girl had said that his wife had given birth to a son for him. He thought she was a liar, but he didn't know that her words were so effective.
Ma Dalin didn't say much, turned to jailer Wu and said, "Wu Hai, go help me get some food and drink for this girl."
Although Wu the jailer didn't understand why he specifically asked to give something to the girl, he couldn't ask more questions when he saw Ma Dalin hurried away after giving instructions.
He turned around and got some water and a few steamed buns. Ling Chu thanked him and took them.
The water was cold, and the steamed buns were also cold and hard, but fortunately they were clean.
Ling Chu was tired and thirsty, and didn't know when he could get out of this cell. Moreover, the environment here was so bad that even an iron man couldn't stand it if he didn't eat or drink.
He took a few sips of water, then picked up the steamed buns and ate them in small bites.
The second wife glanced at him with disdain and turned her head away. She was really short-sighted. She could eat such food for servants so happily.
Ling Chu rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to her. It seemed that the second wife hadn't realized her situation yet. She thought that she could have a good meal like she did in the Shangshu Mansion after entering the prison.
If she could hold out for three days, no, for one day without food or water, she would respect her as a man.
Night began to fall, and the already dark and damp prison of the Ministry of Justice became even darker.
Ling Chu felt her soul begin to weaken again, fortunately her protective items were not searched away. But as the sky darkened, those puppet souls appeared in her eyes one after another.
She was tired all day today, and she was weak, so she really didn't have the energy to deal with these puppet souls.
But she couldn't let these things know that she had the Yin-Yang Eyes to see them. If they took the opportunity to possess her, it would cause great damage to her body.
Ling Chu had to use magic to seal the Yin-Yang Eyes. Although her method was not very stable, as long as she was careful and didn't let the puppet souls find out, it would be fine.
The next day, the jailer Ma came to the cell and brought Ling Chu some food and a clean thin quilt.
In addition, Ma Dalin brought an astonishing news.
The pockmarked jailer is dead
Ghost is a sensitive word, so in order to avoid being blocked, the author uses puppet instead
