The sun is high in the sky.
The sound of rumbling stomachs could be heard one after another in the cell.
Ji Changying was also awakened by the growling of her stomach.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the whole family posing in various poses.
Ji Mingxuan was holding half a black steamed bun in his hand and was secretly stuffing it into Ji Changchuan's hand.
Zhou stared at the half steamed bun and swallowed her saliva.
Ji Fengyi sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fixed straight ahead.
Hu took a quick glance and then looked away.
My cheap dad just lay on the ground, feeling hopeless.
Ji Mingxue squatted on the ground with a bitter face, looking around.
Ji Minghao imitated Ji Fengyi, sitting cross-legged on the ground, closing his eyes and brainwashing himself in his mind: "I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry..."
Ji Changying:...
It looks like no one is doing much better.
The same thing happened to the other families in the cramped cell.
As soon as Ji Changying sat up, the bundle she was holding tightly in her arms caught Ji Fengshou's attention.
A carp jumped over, looked around cautiously and asked quietly: "A Ying, what are you holding?"
Ji Changying reached out and opened the bag in his arms a little. Ji Fengshou's eyes lit up and he grabbed it.
"Wait for me to call my family over, don't move yet." After saying this, Ji Fengshou tugged at the clothes of his family members one by one, signaling them to gather together.
After everyone gathered, Ji Fengshou took the bag and distributed dry food to his family in a low-key manner.
When he got the pancake, he didn't even bother to ask any questions and just stuffed it into his mouth.
He choked so much that he rolled his eyes and pounded his chest.
After eating a piece of bread, although I am not full, at least I feel less hungry.
Ji Fengyi regained some of his sanity, looked at Ji Fengshou and asked gently, "Where did it come from?"
Ji Fengshou said complacently: "Aying took it secretly. She is indeed my daughter, she is so smart."
····
After a moment of silence, Mrs. Hu smiled and praised: "Aying is really getting better and better."
She really couldn't say the word "smart". Only her brother-in-law could lie with his eyes closed.
Zhou touched Ji Changying's head with her big hand and said proudly, "I gave birth to her!"
Ji Changchuan also had a smile on his face. His elder sister was becoming more and more sensible. It must be because of his good teaching.
Ji Minghao looked at her with a smile: "Aying is awesome."
Ji Fengshou put away the remaining rations and whispered, "We don't know how many days we'll have to stay here before we can set off, so we have to be frugal."
Ji Changying said: "We'll set off tomorrow."
Ji Fengyi asked in surprise: "How did Ah Ying know?"
"The jailer said that during a chat yesterday."
This made the whole family look at her in surprise.
Yesterday, none of them paid attention to what the jailer said, but Ying listened and answered in a very organized manner.
"Aying, do you know where we are now?" Ji Mingxuan asked tentatively.
"The prison."
"Then why are we here?"
“To be exiled.”
"What would you do if Dahe pointed at the chicken shit on the ground and told you it was candy?"
"Push him to the ground and eat him."
Ji Changchuan looked at her in surprise: "Sister! You're fine!"
Ji Changying didn't respond, but just looked at him pretending to be confused.
This look made Ji Changchuan calm down as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on him.
"I think even if Ah Ying isn't completely recovered yet, she's definitely much better. Could it be that, as the Taoist priest said, everything will be fine when the time is right?"
When we first discovered that Ji Changying was different from other children, we consulted many doctors, but they all said there was no hope.
Just when her family suspected that this was inherited from Zhou, she met an old Taoist priest with an immortal look, who said that Ah Ying was born with one soul missing and things would return to normal when the time came.
This statement made the family skeptical, but at least there was hope.
From then on, whenever my family came across a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple, they would donate some merit.
Now Mrs. Hu couldn't help but think of this matter and couldn't help but mention it.
Ji Fengshou didn't care about that. He only knew that his daughter was better now than before.
So he said with a beaming face, "When we get there, I'll find a doctor to see Ying. Maybe she'll be completely cured!"
Ji Fengyi nodded: "This must be recorded."
Ji Mingxue had long been curious and had been plucking Ji Changying's eyelids. He twitched his lips and pretended to be serious: "Well, you have made progress."
Ji Minghao slapped him on the head: "You dirty hands!"
Ji Changying looked at the reactions of her family members and smiled.
She is not really a fool and can't pretend to be one, so she might as well imitate Zhou.
Zhou usually looks like a normal person, but he often does things that make people drop their jaws, and sometimes he says things that are shocking.
People in the village always said behind her mother's back that she was a little stupid, but not completely stupid.
Ji Changying thought this was fine.
This way, even if she does something out of line or says something out of line in the future, the worst that can happen is that she can just say it's genetic!
Anyway, with Zhou as a "dazzling" presence in the family, the whole family accepted her well.
Even the uncle who attaches the most importance to etiquette and rules has accepted the fact that his parents were dug out after only one day and two nights, and is keeping the bones beside him and guarding them strictly!
Without water to drink, everyone tried not to speak, and the cell soon fell silent.
Throughout the day, even a few of the jailers were missing from the cell.
It is said that the county government office was robbed.
All the valuables in the county magistrate's backyard and warehouse disappeared.
Not only that, even the county magistrate's private property disappeared.
Even though Ji Changying is in jail, she knows everything that's happening outside.
According to Ji Changying's guess, the county magistrate suspected Zhang Chang.
After all, he was the only one who had been to the study last night and had talked about the county magistrate's private property. Most importantly, there was irrefutable evidence that the purse was there.
When the two separated, the purse was clearly still on Zhang Chang.
The county magistrate suspected that Zhang Chang had followed him and found out where the private money was hidden.
Although Zhang Chang explained that he knew nothing about it, the county magistrate did not believe him.
He was mad with rage.
Overnight, he, the county magistrate, became a penniless pauper who could not even afford five taels of silver.
The triennial assessment will be canceled because we can’t afford the money!
Just when he was getting extremely worried about this, the yamen runner who was guarding the granary came over with shaking legs and told him that the tax grain in the granary was missing.
The county magistrate's face turned pale and he sat down on the ground.
It's over! It's all over!
If you don't have money to bribe him, he may just stay here as county magistrate for a few more years. But if the tax grain is lost, you will be thrown into jail!
The county magistrate hurried to the granary and looked at the scattered old grains in the granary. Finally, he couldn't stand the stimulation and turned away.
Ji Changying almost laughed.
When the county magistrate regained consciousness, he locked himself in the room and walked around a few times before making up his mind.
There is no time left. He has to go to the state capital for the handover tomorrow, and he must find a scapegoat.
It's obvious that these things were done by the same group of people. There is definitely something wrong with the group of people who raided the house!
Thinking of this, the county magistrate made up his mind.
Zhang Chang must be held responsible for this matter!
