Xie Yunjiao thought that the damn Gu Ping must be very angry when he went to her house and saw the empty house.
No matter who she gave the things to, she would never give them to the ungrateful old Gu family!
She sprinkled powder around herself, and no mosquitoes, insects, snakes or rats dared to approach her.
She picked up chestnuts that fell from the chestnut trees in the space, made a fire and cooked them to eat as meals.
Gu Lan thought that not giving her food and trapping her in this dirty cell was torture, but in fact, she just couldn't get out, so it wasn't torture.
It wouldn't be difficult for her to get out, but she didn't want to suddenly disappear from the cell and bring trouble to her family.
When she stayed here, those people thought she was in trouble and focused all their firepower on her.
Just then, she suddenly heard a violent cough. She opened her eyes suddenly and found that it was an old lady in the cell next door who was coughing.
The old lady's clothes were tattered, as if they had been worn for a long time. Her hair was in clumps, as if no amount of water could wash it clean.
Xie Yunjiao thought that she must have been in this death row for a long time.
But strangely enough, those in this death row are all extremely vicious people. They will be beheaded shortly after entering, and usually will not survive until the autumn of the following year.
But this old lady looks like she has lived here for a long time. Could it be that she has been trapped here?
“Don’t eat it!”
Xie Yunjiao saw her pick up a cockroach and throw it into her mouth. The cockroach was dirty and covered with bacteria.
"I'm hungry." said the old lady pitifully.
In this death row, we only have one meal a day, and it’s all leftovers, which are even smelly when the weather is hot.
But in order to survive, they still scrambled to eat it.
It’s not time to deliver food yet, and everyone is so hungry that they are catching insects everywhere to eat.
The old lady was just one of them.
"You seem like you haven't eaten all day. Aren't you hungry?" The old lady stared at Xie Yunjiao with her cloudy and lifeless eyes.
Xie Yunjiao transferred the chestnuts from the space and handed them to the old lady through the wooden fence: "These are chestnuts. You can eat them after peeling the shells."
The old lady grabbed it, put it in her mouth and started chewing it hard.
I didn’t expect that this old lady looked quite old, but her teeth were quite good.
After a while, there were a lot of chewed chestnut shells on the ground next to the old lady.
"Gu Huai's family."
When Xie Yunjiao heard Lao He's cry, she thought she was hallucinating because she had been trapped here for too long.
When I turned around, it was really Lao He!
"Why are you able to come in?"
Old He lived a tight life. After he recovered from his illness, he spent all his savings on the funeral of his deceased wife and children. Now he didn't have much money on hand, so he only brought a few big steamed buns.
When he saw Xie Yunjiao, he spoke words of repentance to her.
Xie Yunjiao asked him why he was allowed to come in. The senior executives and their family members were not allowed to come in to see him, but he came in. This made Xie Yunjiao very curious.
Only then did Lao He say that he knew a prison guard in the death row.
The jailer was an older brother of his wife from the same village. Old He had dug some Ganoderma lucidum in the mountains and they were planning to sell it, but they ran into the jailer, Old Wu, who was taking his dying mother to the town for medical treatment.
But Old Wu had no money and could not afford the medicine. Seeing that his mother was about to die, Old He's wife gritted her teeth and gave the Ganoderma lucidum to Old Wu.
Unexpectedly, after eating the Ganoderma lucidum, Old Wu's mother's illness was actually cured, so Old Wu always remembered the kindness of Old He and his wife.
Today, Lao He came to Lao Wu for help, and Lao Wu had no choice but to agree to let him in to visit Xie Yunjiao.
"Gu Huai's family, I don't have much money, so I could only buy these steamed buns. You can keep them and eat them slowly. If I still have money, I will continue to send you food." Lao He said.
"Thank you, Lao He. I have enough food here, but I miss my family."
Xie Yunjiao asked Lao He to go to Wu Mingde's home to find Gao Jia and Doudou and tell them that everything was fine in this prison.
"I know what to do, don't worry." Lao He said.
Old Wu was afraid that if Old He stayed in for too long it would arouse other people's suspicion, so he asked Old He to leave quickly.
In a moment of desperation, Lao He said that he would definitely go to the authorities to clear Xie Yunjiao's name.
Xie Yunjiao persuaded Lao He not to act rashly. Gu Lan and the others wanted to deal with her. Even if Lao He made a fuss, it would only bring another person in. It would be better for him to think of a way outside to see how he could help her.
Lao He had no choice but to agree.
When Old Wu learned that Xie Yunjiao was Old He's benefactor, he prepared a clean bowl and water for Xie Yunjiao.
Let her drink it in hiding so that no one will find out.
In order to thank the jailer Old Wu, Xie Yunjiao gave him a packet of medicine powder, saying that the powder could help his mother.
Old Wu was stunned. He didn't say anything. How did Xie Yunjiao know that something happened to his mother?
Could it be what Lao He said?
But he never mentioned this to Lao He at all.
Xie Yunjiao said that she recognized Old Wu from the smell of medicine on his body.
Old Wu doesn't look like he's sick, so it must be that the elderly person in the family is in trouble.
"Apply this powder to the injured area and then drink the medicine, it should heal soon." Xie Yunjiao said.
Old Wu took the powder with gratitude and left happily.
He felt that Xie Yunjiao was so kind, and he only did her a small favor, but Xie Yunjiao was willing to give him the powder and even prescribed medicine for him, which really saved his life.
He is an old bachelor who has spent all his savings on his elderly mother at home over the years.
Now his mother is ill again, and he has borrowed money from all the relatives he could, and no one is willing to lend him money anymore.
He thought his mother was going to die this time, but unexpectedly he met Xie Yunjiao.
If his mother can really be safe this time, Xie Yunjiao will be his benefactor, and he will do everything he can to repay Xie Yunjiao!
Xie Yunjiao's medicine was indeed effective. Not long after taking the medicine, Old Wu's mother's condition improved a lot.
Hearing that Xie Yunjiao was wrongly accused, Lao Wu decided to help Xie Yunjiao together with Lao He.
I heard that there was an epidemic in the village and it was suspected that there was something wrong with Xie Yunjiao's pigs. The culprit was Lao He, who made the sick pigs into braised pork and sold it.
If someone hadn't eaten the braised meat that Lao He made with diseased pork, the plague wouldn't have been discovered.
But it’s strange. If eating diseased pork will cause plague, why did only one person get the plague while the others were fine?
Old Wu proposed this idea to Xie Yunjiao, and Xie Yunjiao said that she had thought of it a long time ago, but now she was in prison and had no way to prove her innocence.
It’s a pity that when Ye Baien left, he only said that he would take Gu Huai to train, and didn’t say where they were going, so even if she wanted to contact Gu Huai, she couldn’t.
Now we can only rely on Lao Wu and Lao He.
