At first, the female prisoners pretended to lick their lips, shook their heads and said, "Sister, you should eat it... You are the boss, how can we eat your food?"
But when Ruyi insisted, they readily accepted it.
Ruyi looked at them and smiled. She couldn't save them, but at least she could let them eat a meal before she went to the execution ground.
"Don't grab it, eat slowly. Give some to the other person..." Ruyi didn't know the poor woman's name, and seeing that she didn't dare to come forward, she deliberately ordered her.
Although Sister An was reluctant, she still pulled a small piece of willow from the chicken leg and handed it to her. The tall man also pinched a piece of white flour steamed bun and gave it to her.
The woman stuffed all these things into her mouth and kept chewing them. Finally, she looked at Ruyi gratefully and uttered a "thank you" inarticulately.
Ruyi nodded, covered himself with some straw, and leaned against the wall to take a nap.
As soon as she closed her eyes like this, she really fell asleep, and had some vague dreams. She seemed to be dreaming about Qin Xiao, she seemed to be dreaming about her master, and she seemed to be dreaming about the feared painted ghost.
Suyi.
They were all covered with a faint shadow, their entities could not be seen, and their faces could not be discerned.
Everyone is just a "seem". Until Ruyi wakes up, she doesn't know who she was dreaming about.
Ruyi woke up with tears in her eyes, stretched out her hands desperately trying to catch someone, opened her eyes, and saw mottled brick walls and cold iron railings. Only then did she remember that she was in a prison.
She didn't know how long she slept, it might have been all night, or it might have been just a short while. Her whole body was a little cold, and she couldn't help but shrink back. She wanted to continue sleeping, but she felt an abnormal quietness.
These female prisoners all have a chattering mouth. They have nothing to do during the day, so they often gather together to chat. Sister An likes to brag, always talking about how awesome she is, and bragging about some big things she has never done;
She always liked to talk about her man, describing her man as handsome and good-tempered. Unfortunately, he was seriously ill and had no money to treat him, so he died. After her man died, she didn't want to live anymore, so she took a knife to kill him.
The doctor who came to treat her was shocked. After she finished speaking, she always wiped away her tears sadly, and said that after she was sentenced, the couple would be able to reunite under the Nine Springs. She would tell this story whenever she had time.
I cried when I finished it, and I listened to it no less than three or four times just because I wanted to.
The short one always talks to herself, and everyone else is having a good conversation, but she suddenly interjects a very abrupt sentence, which makes the atmosphere cold, and then she laughs and laughs to resolve the embarrassment; the fat man is a very optimistic person.
, the most common ones are nothing more than petty things between the parents, such as saying that so-and-so’s child stole from a man in the village, and was caught and raped by her husband in bed. After saying this, she continued to enjoy herself, and she didn’t know how.
If she was able to be happy, no matter how big things happened in other people's homes, it would just cause a lot of fuss, but she was a prisoner on death row awaiting execution, so if she wanted to be happy, she should be happy for others.
The thin man is quieter and doesn't interrupt much. He always listens to what these women have to say.
As for the woman who was used to being bullied, she still did not participate in everyone's chatter, and huddled on the side as usual, eating and sleeping by herself.
