Chapter 3 Feeding the Criminals in the Imperial Prison from a Distance
After Xie Yuchuan finished speaking, he never heard any response from the god.
I couldn't hide the feeling of loss in my heart. I was worried that what I had just said might be inappropriate, or... maybe it had touched upon a taboo and offended the gods?
No one had ever told him that the Xie family god was a female, and judging by her voice, she seemed quite young.
I never thought that I would be the lucky one who could get in touch with the household god.
My heart was filled with anxiety, and I regretted my ignorant words of "lifelong service".
He was naughty when he was young, but his father and brothers loved him and did not restrict his behavior. The only time they asked him to do this was to kowtow three times and bow nine times to burn incense to the family gods during the ancestral worship at the end of the year.
He is not the kind of person who would make himself unhappy over big things. It seems that he has not done anything inappropriate in front of the gods in all these years, right?
Tu Huan didn't have as many thoughts as him. When she wanted to reply, she happened to hear the Xie family downstairs discussing the house confiscation.
They all sounded worried, so I moved closer to the stairs to listen to what they were saying.
Downstairs, Madam Zhou was a little worried.
"Qiu Suan went to the palace to report the news."
"Don't be afraid. Since he can't tolerate our Xie family, this day is bound to come sooner or later. Don't they believe that our Xie family has a family god? Then let them open their eyes. The other noble families are also watching us end up like this. They all have their own considerations in their hearts. If the Xie family is here today, there will be others tomorrow. How can a saintly monarch disregard ethics and morals like this?" Old Lady Xie patted her daughter-in-law's hand gently and comforted her.
"Mother is right." The eldest lady sighed softly, "Yuchuan is still in the imperial prison. I don't know if he is alive now. He just came back from the battlefield and is seriously injured."
Madam Xie squeezed her hand tightly and said, "He's a very blessed child. He'll be fine."
The eldest lady lowered her eyes and looked at Madam Xie's slightly trembling hands, and swallowed the words back on her tongue.
Is Xie Yuchuan seriously injured?
Tu Huan was slightly stunned and asked Xie Yuchuan in a typing voice, "Are you injured?"
Xie Yuchuan closed his eyes and leaned against the cold wall to rest. Suddenly, he heard the voice of the family god again. He opened his eyes and his eyes were filled with joy.
Just as he was about to speak, he coughed up a mouthful of blood! He had no time to respond to Tu Huan.
There is no message from the other party in the dialog box.
Tu Huan: "What happened to Xie Yuchuan? Why is there no movement?"
System: [The guardian has a high fever.]
High fever all over the body?
"He has a fever?"
Straight from the battlefield, he was thrown into jail. How could this man possibly be okay? In ancient times, a persistent high fever was no small matter.
She thought for a moment, then went into the house to look through the medicine cabinet to see if there was any fever-reducing medicine left. After a while, she came out with a box of fever-reducing medicine in her hand, and said thankfully, "Fortunately, we still have some in stock at home."
But the question is, how can she deliver this medicine to Xie Yuchuan in prison?
System: [For small size, you can choose the shooting and sending function, and for large size, you can choose the file transfer function. ]
Understood!
Tu Huan tore off a piece of white paper from the desk. Afraid that Xie Yuchuan wouldn't understand how to take the medicine, she took out all the pills and stacked them up inside. After thinking for a while, she went to the small bar and got a bottle of mineral water. She opened the package, twisted it open, and then closed it again, placing it on the table together with the medicine bag.
"Just shoot and send it, right?"
System: [Yes, we will transmit information to the other party's consciousness field, and physical objects will be delivered directly to the guardian.]
Tu Huan was too lazy to type, so she just sent a voice message.
Xie Yuchuan finally caught his breath after a long while, and then he quickly responded to the void: "I... I'm fine."
As soon as the voice fell, a female voice came from my ear, which was clearer than before:
"Xie Yuchuan? I'll give you some medicine to reduce your fever. Remember to take it later."
Xie Yuchuan was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt something extra in his palm. He lowered his head and spread out his palm, his brows full of shock!
I saw a square white paper package lying in the palm of my hand.
Ah...this this this!!!
He stared at his palm in disbelief for a long time, and the only remaining doubt in his heart about whether he was hallucinating disappeared. He was now 100% sure that the Xie family's family god, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, had really appeared!
Tu Huan asked Xie Yuchuan: "Did you receive it?"
Xie Yuchuan controlled his emotions and spoke in a low, hoarse voice, "I got it. It's right in my palm."
"Tu Huan: I'm glad to receive it. The medicine is on the paper, and the water is in the bottle. Just unscrew it and consume. If the high fever persists, take it every two to three hours, no more than two tablets each time."
Xie Yuchuan listened to the gentle instructions in his ears, his throat tightened, his nose felt sore, and his hoarse voice was filled with heavy emotions.
"Thank you, God, for your mercy."
After saying this, he waited anxiously.
Sure enough, a clear and cheerful voice came from the air: “It’s a small matter, take care of what you should do.”
The seven-foot-tall man almost burst into tears.
Xie Yuchuan had no doubt that the medicine was given by the gods. He opened the paper package and saw more than a dozen bean-sized pills inside. He picked up two pills and put them into his mouth, his eyes falling on the bottle of mineral water beside his legs.
He had never seen such a transparent water container, and it was so thin and long that it stood steadily on the ground.
Following the instructions of the god, he picked up the mineral water and reached out to try to twist the bottle cap. After a few twists, the bottle was opened. Xie Yuchuan was stunned.
Fortunately, he remembered to take the medicine first, so he took the antipyretic with clean water. Even though his mouth was dry, he was very restrained because the water was too precious. He only drank two sips and then screwed the bottle cap back on.
“This thing is so magical.”
He couldn't let go of the mineral water, and he opened and closed the bottle cap again and again. Through the soft and transparent bottle, he could see the clean drinking water without any impurities. He could tell at a glance that this water container was very suitable for marching and fighting.
The prison was deep, cold and damp, but at this moment Xie Yuchuan felt his heart burning with joy.
Thanks to the sincere worship of their ancestors from generation to generation, the family gods did not abandon their Xie family.
After taking the antipyretic, Xie Yuchuan lay on the cool mat with a bottle of mineral water in his hand and fell into a peaceful sleep.
He, Xie Yuchuan, is also a person who is favored by the family god.
After an unknown amount of time, the emperor arrived in person outside the imperial prison.
The prison officer hurried over to see the emperor: "Your humble servant greets the emperor!"
"Your Majesty wants to personally interrogate the criminal Xie Yuchuan. Go and bring him here quickly!" shouted the imperial guards.
"As ordered, I will immediately interrogate Xie Yuchuan!"
In the torture room, a bright yellow figure stood in front of the torture instruments, his eyes falling on Xie Yuchuan.
After a long while, Emperor Longqing spoke in a deep voice.
"I heard that your Xie family's deity has become powerful. How do you think I should treat you?"
Xie Yuchuan, who was tied to the torture device, looked down at the ground, too lazy to even lift his eyelids, and only responded to the emperor with a sneer.
What could he do? He had been planning for years, so how could he let them go so easily? The shrine enshrined in the Xie family was like a thorn in the emperor's heart, and he couldn't sleep or eat peacefully until it was removed.
He understood that no matter whether the Xie family god was real or fake, the other party would destroy the spiritual monument built in the hearts of the Xie family.
The emperor's face was grim and he stared at him sinisterly.
On the other side, after Tu Huan finished feeding the medicine to Xie Yuchuan, she took the opportunity to take inventory of other things in the house and found some anti-inflammatory drugs. She thought that if the other party had wounds on his body, he might still have inflammation, so she planned to give him some more anti-inflammatory drugs and food.
But when I opened my phone, I found that I couldn’t send it this time!
Tu Huan: Hmm?
System: [The ward, Xie Yuchuan, is being tortured and is unconscious. Supplies cannot be delivered.]
Tu Huan:!!!
"Why the sudden torture?"
