When Yuan Yuan went to the back of the lobby, Situ Jing had already woken up and was sitting on a chair. Xiao Huan was standing behind, rubbing the back of her neck.
"Miss Situ, I just...I'm sorry..." Yuan apologized.
Hearing the sound of the kite, Situ Jing and Xiao Huan immediately turned and looked over.
Situ Jing quickly stood up, shook his head and said, "Mrs. Chai, you don't need to apologize. I can't blame you for what happened just now. You were also thinking about my safety."
Hearing what Situ Jing said, Yuan Yuan felt much better, so he stepped forward and asked if it hurt and whether it was okay.
Situ Jing naturally shook his head, even if it really hurt her, he wouldn't say anything.
Situ Jing suddenly took Yuan's hand and said with sincere gratitude: "Mrs. Chai, thank you for saving my father, thank you..."
"Thank you, Mrs. Chai. If you hadn't taken action in time, I would have..."
Xiaohuan felt that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly covered her mouth to stop speaking, and then hurriedly bowed again.
Yuanyuan didn't say any polite words, just smiled and nodded to accept their thanks.
After a pause, Situ Jing asked: "Mrs. Chai, I heard that Lieutenant Liu from Nanying came here with troops. How is it outside now?"
"It's okay! Lieutenant Liu has sent troops to protect the county government. Miss Situ doesn't have to worry..."
As Yuan Yuan spoke, he briefly described the situation outside. Situ Jing and Xiao Huan both looked happy after hearing this, knowing that they were really safe.
Seeing that Situ Jing was fine, Yuan Yuan said: "Miss Situ, you are also tired. Go back to your room and rest early. I will go to the county jail to have a look..."
Just as she was about to leave, Situ Jing stopped her: "Mrs. Chai..."
"Is there anything else?" Yuan turned around and asked.
Situ Jing bit her lower lip lightly and plucked up the courage to say, "Mrs. Chai, I...I want to go with you..."
Xiaohuan was startled. She knew what Situ Jing was going to do, so she hurriedly said: "Miss, it's already so late, so let's wait until dawn before going to see him."
"No! I'm worried. If I don't go over and take a look, I won't be able to sleep well..." Situ Jing shook her head, her cheeks turning red.
Ever since she learned that someone was robbing the county prison, Situ Jing had been thinking about Cheng Jiu. Now that the chaos had subsided, she insisted on going to see the situation.
Yuanyuan understood Situ Jing's thoughts and immediately responded: "Okay, let's go together!"
"Yeah!" Situ Jing immediately became happy and nodded vigorously.
So, the three of them went out from the door at the back of the lobby and walked in the dark toward the county jail.
When we arrived at the open space in front of the county jail, it was already brightly lit, and the government officials were busy escorting the injured prisoners in black to the front. There was a lot of noise and bustle everywhere, and it was a busy scene.
Situ Jing stood on tiptoes and stretched out her neck to look around, and soon found Chai Yan and Ge Hong talking, but Cheng Jiu was nowhere to be found.
"Xiao Huan, have you seen him?" Situ Jing hurriedly asked Xiao Huan.
"No, miss, I haven't seen anyone..."
Xiaohuan, like Situ Jing, started looking for Cheng Jiu as soon as he arrived, but he still couldn't find it.
Yuan said: "Don't worry, just go and ask and you will know."
After that, the three of them walked towards Chai Yan and Ge Hong.
Ge Hong, who was listening to Chai Yan, spotted the three women approaching from the corner of his eye. He immediately turned around and greeted, "Mrs. Chai, Miss Situ..."
Chai Yan also turned around and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Yuan Yuan said: "Miss Situ is worried, she must come and have a look..."
Chai Yan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it.
Situ Jing's face turned red. Just as she was about to speak, she saw the blood on Ge Hong's arm. She asked in shock, "Uncle Ge, are you injured?"
Ge Hong looked at his arm and immediately explained: "Oh, I'm not injured, this is someone else's blood..."
Then, Ge Hong said: "Miss Situ, it's too messy here. You should go back and rest quickly, so as not to worry Master Situ."
Situ Jing thanked her gently, and then asked: "Uncle Ge, why didn't you see Cheng Jiu and the others..."
The word "them" is actually a cover. What Situ Jing wants to ask is Cheng Jiu.
Ge Hong was startled, then smiled and glanced at the room at the side and back, and said: "Oh, Cheng Jiu and the others are resting in the room over there. Don't worry, it's okay..."
"Then...can I go see them?" After saying this, Situ Jing's face felt hot.
"This..." Ge Hong didn't know whether he should agree or not, so he couldn't help but look at Chai Yan.
Chai Yanxin said: What do you think I am doing? Cheng Jiu is your fourth brother, not mine...
Unexpectedly, Yuan Yuan spoke first: "Go ahead, isn't that why you came with me?"
Chai Yan immediately said: "Yes, go ahead. Cheng Jiu was injured, so it's appropriate to go and express condolences."
"Is he injured? Is he seriously injured?" Situ Jing was anxious at that time.
Chai Yan said quickly: "Don't worry, don't worry, it's just a minor injury, just a minor injury..."
Ge Hong also said: "That's right, it's just a minor injury, it's not in the way."
"Little ring!"
Situ Jing immediately called out, picked up the hem of his clothes, and walked towards the house with Xiao Huan.
Ge Hong wanted to follow, but was held back by Chai Yan.
"Lao Ge, please don't go..."
Ge Hong looked at Situ Jing's back hesitantly, but finally listened to Chai Yan and did not follow.
As soon as Situ Jing and Xiao Huan approached the house, they saw a yamen servant coming out with a wooden basin. The yamen servant splashed the water in the basin into the mud next to the house, and then turned around and entered the house.
.
Situ Jing saw that the water that was poured out was black and red, and there was an obvious smell of blood. At that time, her heart was in suspense, and she secretly asked uneasily: Isn't it a minor injury? Why is there so much blood?
?
Unable to hold back her anxious mood, Situ Jing immediately rushed into the room.
"Miss, please slow down..."
Xiaohuan was startled and hurriedly followed.
Cheng Jiu was not the only one in the room at this time, Yu Tie, Fatty Lai and Guan Maochun were also there...
Cheng Jiu was sitting with his arms bare in the middle of the room. The yamen servant who had just poured water was mixing medicine and preparing to apply medicine to the wound on Cheng Jiu's back.
As for Fatty Lai and Guan Maochun, they were sitting in the room chatting and joking with Cheng Jiu. Although Yu Tie could not participate in the chat, he listened with interest.
"Cheng Jiu!"
Suddenly, Situ Jing rushed into the room, calling Cheng Jiu's name nervously.
This sudden female voice immediately silenced the room. Everyone, including the yamen servant, turned their attention to Situ Jing at the door.
"Situ Jing? Why are you here?" Cheng Jiu was very surprised.
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Huan also ran in.
"Miss...ah!"
The first thing Xiaohuan saw when she came in was a shirtless Cheng Jiu. She was so shocked that she turned away quickly and covered her eyes hard.
Xiaohuan's move made Situ Jing react immediately, but when she turned around, her face and neck were already red and hot...
