The officer who led the way patted Ah Sheng on the back as if this was a common occurrence. He probably found Ah Sheng's retching too pitiful to bear.
"Little brother, haven't you ever seen this kind of scene"
These clueless little beasts, even if they're starving, they would eat anything. They'd even eat feces if it was in their food.
A flash of cold light passed through Fang Jinshu's eyes, but she knew this was not the time to act. No matter how much she cared for these children, she couldn't intervene now. With only her and Asheng, both unarmed, they wouldn't be able to take anyone away under the watchful eyes of these constables.
"Officer, how come there are so many children in this jail"
Could the child have also committed murder
The officer let out a sneer, "What the magistrate says is law. It doesn't matter if it's adults or children."
"Alright, alright, stop talking and get going."
Their new cell was across from this group of children, separated by two rows of wooden bars. The gaps between the bars were so small that even a child couldn't squeeze through. Fang Jinshu gave up trying to find a way out on top.
Looking at those children opposite, Fang Jinshu felt a pang of sympathy in her heart. She wished she could just disappear into the ground and quickly help those children get rid of whatever was on them.
Once the officer left, Fang Jinshu also tried to communicate with those older children, hoping they would take care of the little ones crawling on the ground and stop picking up bugs to eat.
I never expected those big kids to show such longing and suppressed excitement when they heard the word "insects."
"If you don't eat them, they will die."
Fang Jinxiu frowned tightly, leaning against the wall and slowly sat down, waiting for nightfall.
At night, the guards in the prison cell are more lax. Those officials all go out to eat and rest, coming in to check once every two hours.
Fang Jinxiu took out some dry food from her spatial pouch and threw it across.
Those kids went absolutely crazy for the food, causing quite a commotion.
Fang Jinxiu hurriedly reminded them.
"Don't make so much noise! Don't you want to be seen by the officials"
Fortunately, those older children still had some sense. Hearing Fang Jinshu say this, they quickly joined forces to control the situation and prevent the younger ones from causing a ruckus.
They took the dry rations Fang Jinxiu had thrown in and gave them to the hungriest children. They themselves went hungry, just licking their lips.
Fang Jinshui looked on and sighed, thinking that these several big children were truly remarkable in their steadfastness. They weren't like the children one would usually find in ordinary families.
"Now I'm throwing some more your way, rest assured everyone will have enough to eat."
Then she began quietly throwing out the rations. The children stopped squabbling and let the older ones pick up the food and distribute it to those at the back.
She also threw two water pouches over. They were filled with spring water, which was good for the children's health.
Even without close contact, she could tell that these children all had some kind of problem. It was hard not to get sick after being confined in such an environment for so long.
Children's immune systems are naturally weaker than adults'.
Although these spring waters cannot cure diseases, they can significantly improve their well-being. Some inflammations become less of a concern.
Asheng was keeping watch from the sidelines, and when he saw the officers patrolling, he reminded Fang Jinyu to quickly pack up.
Those children also knew what was right, instantly retreating back into the cell and huddling together just as before.
At first glance, no one would know they had just moved.
As soon as the officer left, several big children quietly walked to the cell and bowed to Fang Jinshi in gratitude.
She raised an eyebrow, finding these children increasingly intriguing.
As for how Fang Jinshi kept producing so much food and water one after another, those children didn't ask, not even a single question. This actually relieved her.
Otherwise, I really don't know how to explain it.
They were locked in the cell for two days. The corrupt official never came to speak with them. Fang Jinshu seemed to have forgotten their purpose for coming here. She would spend her time sitting by the edge of the cell and talking to the children.
As soon as the officer left to rest, the children all sat down by the side. The two prisoners in the different cells chatted with each other across the corridor and got along quite well.
Fang Jinshui's chats with the children weren't just for companionship; she first wanted to get a sense of their suspicions. Then, she inquired about their origins, how they ended up there, and where their families were waiting. Information like that was very useful.
To Fang Jinshi's surprise, those few children she had always found extraordinary were actually from Luhe Village.
More than half of these twenty-odd children are from Lühé Village.
Asheng quickly said, “Sister Jinxiu, those people in Luhe Village harming passersby and taking their money and possessions must be to redeem these children, right”
Fang Jinxiu nodded. "Now it seems, that's very likely."
Ashen originally held a deep grudge against the people of Luhe Village. If they hadn't driven them three into the sand pit, Zhao Ge wouldn't have sacrificed himself in the woods.
They were originally just seen as a ruthless gang, and Asheng harbored the desire to eliminate them completely in the future. He hated them with all his being.
Now that he knew the real hardship they were facing, and seeing these children imprisoned and suffering such punishments, he suddenly couldn't bring himself to hate them.
Fang Jinshi patted his arm and said.
"The culprit behind all this is Bai Ling, the magistrate. He persecutes the common people and even children are not spared."
"Without his countless oppression, the people of Lvhe Village wouldn't have resorted to such extreme measures."
Asheng instantly woke up.
"Yes, the wronged have their heads and the guilty their masters. The county magistrate of Bailin County is truly audacious and reckless! He deserves to die!"
There's also something else that Ah Sheng found strange.
"What does that magistrate mean by keeping us out here like this"
I thought he was eyeing you lustfully that day, intending to do something bad to you.
"Could he have figured out our identities"
Fang Jinshu had a nonchalant look. "If he figured out our identities, we would have been tied up and sent to the capital long ago."
No sooner had the two finished speaking than they spoke whatever came to mind.
Two officers walked over and opened their door. Their manner was even more polite than before.
"Miss Fang, our master requests your presence."
A Sheng wasn't reassured, and hurriedly stepped in front of Fang Jinxiu.
"What do you want with my sister I'm coming too."
The two officials weren't sure if this unattractive woman would truly become a concubine in the manor after she grew up. If she did, then this young boy before them would be the county magistrate's brother-in-law, someone they couldn't afford to offend.
Therefore, the two of them were unusually amiable, smiling at each other and explaining.
"Brother Fang, we adults only want to ask your sister to come and discuss your case. This is to help you clear your suspicion and regain your freedom as soon as possible."
"You'd best not stand in our way and waste time. If the adults get impatient and decide to give up, you'll be the ones who suffer the consequences."
They believed they had said enough and offered all the advice they could.
If it were someone else, they wouldn't be so willing to talk so much, wouldn't they They are only doing this because this young lady is a considerate person and she's also generous.
Before, Fang Jinshi said that she would give the carriage to other officers, which was spread throughout the county government.
If there were a kind and generous mistress in the adults' backyard, wouldn't it be much easier for them to ask Fang Jinshi for anything they needed in the futurehe three of them as if nothing had happened."Alright, Zong Pingchuan, you don't need to put on a facade in front of us.""Today's events were indeed planned by me, I did it on purpose."Zong Pingchuan a...
