The next day, perhaps because the wound on her body became inflamed, she developed a high fever. When her cellmates found out, they quickly called the prison boss over.
Perhaps out of fear that she would die in prison, or perhaps for some other reason, the prison actually had a doctor prescribe her some medicine. She was quite strong, and after taking a few bowls of medicine, she regained consciousness within two days, though the pain persisted.
On the third day after she had recovered, which was also the seventh day of her detention in the county government office, she was brought in for interrogation again. It was still the same torture room, and the same two people were involved.
This time she bit her lip and said nothing. Now looking at the man, she no longer thought he was handsome, but rather extremely hideous.
"Why are you doing this? I'm a kind and gentle man. It's embarrassing for everyone if things turn out like this. Regardless of whether I'm from the county government or not, the fact that I can sit here and ask you questions means I'm qualified. You question me, do you think you'll get anything good?" The man sneered.
Chunxiao just pursed her lips and lowered her head without saying anything. She was afraid that she would become impulsive again after seeing the other party's arrogance.
"I heard you have a recipe for increasing cotton production, and the yield of the cotton you grow will be several times higher than others. Is that true?"
It turned out that they were trying to take advantage of her cotton-growing skills, but she really didn't want to pay any attention. Then, she immediately heard the sound of a whip cracking beside them, "Speak."
Her heart shuddered reflexively and she raised her head. "You're kidding. I don't have that much ability. These are just rumors."
"I advise you to be honest and not try to deceive others." The man's face darkened. "I have clear records of a family in Fangjia Village, Sanye Town, who harvested a large sum using your method. If this weren't true, how could the entire Yanjia Village be planting cotton?"
It turned out that someone in Fangjia Village had conjunctivitis!
Chun Xiao was furious. "The cotton price has been good these past two years, so I tried growing cotton. Everyone's going for it. As for the yield, it's always been determined by the weather. It has nothing to do with me."
"Yan Chunxiao, are you going to be stubborn? Let me be frank with you today. Your crime can be serious or minor. If you give up the cotton recipe, I will lock you up for two days and then send you back. If you are stubborn, even sending you to the guillotine will be a piece of cake. Besides, there are so many people in your Yanjia Village who grow cotton. I can ask them too. I am only looking for you to give you a chance. Please don't be ungrateful."
Chunxiao was also puzzled by this. He could indeed directly interrogate the villagers. Although she did not write down the process, they basically knew the important steps. Let alone a piece of paper contract, what was a contract in the face of life and death? He just didn't know what the problem was that made him insist on her to say it in person.
"That's all I can say today. Believe it or not, I don't have any prescriptions."
Seeing that she refused to speak, Chen Erlong stepped forward and slapped her, "You are shameless. It seems that you don't know the power of torture without it."
This time she was put in a clamp, and when she went back, her ten fingers were covered in blood and in excruciating pain.
