Don’t Be a Kept Man

The dungeon was dark and damp, with the smell of blood mixed with the decay of the rotten wood, and iron torture instruments hung on the broken walls, and the spikes on it were accompanied by rotten flesh and blood clots scraped off from someone. For a while, it only felt extremely dirty.

Xiao Fengwu removed the brocade clothes and changed into a white prison uniform. Under the leadership of Jiang Ping'an, he entered the prison. Before he approached, there was a high and low cry. There were men and women, desperate and miserable.

Jiang Ping'an explained: "The male prison is on the left and the female prison is on the right. The Xiao family has already arrested more than ten people."

With shackles on his hands, Xiao Fengwu stood in the middle of the prisons on both sides. He didn't know why, and didn't speak, as if he heard Jiang Pingan's voice. Suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in the prison on the right, and a beautiful woman rushed vigorously. On the door, clinging to the railing, he tried his best to look out through the gap, and asked eagerly: "Brother Sixteen, Brother Sixteen! Is it you Brother Sixteen?!"

She is the eleventh girl of the Xiao family and the eleventh sister of Xiao Fengwu.

This sound sounded like a stone thrown into the water, and there was movement around the prison, and the noise overwhelmed the crying for a while.

"Brother Sixteen?! Brother Sixteen was also arrested?!"

"My Xiao family is dead!"

Second elder brother and third elder brother, fourth elder sister and fifth elder elder sister, sixth elder brother, ninth elder elder brother and ten elder elder brothers, maybe there are other brothers and sisters, but there are too many people, Xiao Fengwu can't distinguish it anymore. Walked on the left and entered a separate cell left by Jiang Ping'an specially taken care of, while Xiao Fengming was put in the next door.

There were all males from the Xiao family. The two were in a cell. It was not too crowded. Xiao Fengwu found insects and ants crawling on the dry grass on the ground, and saw mold on the edge of the bed, and finally chose to stand.

The Xiao family was much distracted. Several older sisters still loved Xiao Fengwu, the youngest brother, but the brothers were very close to each other. The sixth brother Xiao snorted when he saw the situation, and spit out the grass stems in his mouth: "Sixteenth brother, Your young master’s problem still cannot be corrected. It has all fallen into this field, and you are still paying attention to what is clean and unclean. You will be on the guillotine right away. Get a good night’s sleep as soon as possible."

Xiao Fengming was next door, clawing at the railing and cursing, "Broom star Xiao Linru is all to blame! Broom star!"

Brother Xiao is the calmest among the crowd. He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Old Seven——"

Xiao Fengming was a little frightened after all, and he stopped talking.

The men’s and women’s prisons were not far apart, and not long after, there was another low sob of the female relatives, perhaps emotionally, and Xiao Fengwu also calmed down here. He looked through the gap in the railing and found that several older brothers were all sitting. In a daze on the ground, or just sleeping, only the old seven Xiao Fengming was still whispering to Xiao Linru, the 18th generation of the ancestors even scolded himself in, really a second fool.

Xiao Fengwu was a very strange person, everyone else was uncomfortable and they were crying, but he didn't feel at all, and finally stood tired, and found a clean place on the bed to sit down and sleep with his eyes half closed.

A small palm-sized window was left in the cell for ventilation. As the sun sinks, the light gradually dims. When Xiao Fengwu woke up, half of his body fell into the darkness, with his fingertips on his knees. Afterwards, I realized that I might really have to die this time.

For the first time so close to death.

When the afterglow pours in, the melancholy and loneliness is lingering, the air is mixed with deathly silence, and the dust is beating and falling, making people more and more ashamed.

The government officer dragged in another condemned prisoner. I heard that this man was a bandit on the mountain. He was tortured quite a bit by the county magistrate. Ten fingernails were plucked out, and his left leg was beaten with a 100-kill stick. After all, when dragged from the ground, you can even see a little white stubble.

Seeing a dark red blood trail forming a drag line on the ground, Xiao Fengwu finally had such a bit of fear that belonged to normal people. He was not afraid of death, but afraid of the dirt and uncomfortable death, so he got off the bed without realizing it. Looking at the gangster who is still being tortured.

The place where the torture was executed was not far away, and all the prisoners could see it, in order to kill the chickens and the monkeys.

Xiao Fengming finally stopped his wicked mouth, muttering to himself, his eyes were shocked: "My dead father, his legs are broken like this, and the bleeding will not stop. If it goes down, people will die. The **** night attracts ants to crawl. Go into the wound, don’t you suffer alive?”

Brother Xiao's face turned green: "Old Qi, you shut up! It's not scary enough, isn't it?!"

Xiao Laojiu also took a long look and found that he had already been burnt torture. The scorching sound of the flesh and flesh made people feel tingling. He subconsciously said, "Even if you survive it, this leg must be cut off. It’s easier to treat. Use catechins to stop bleeding and reduce sores, grow muscles and relieve pain. After a few days, it will be all right. I hope that when it is our brother’s turn, we will not hurt our muscles and bones."

Brother Xiao Liu shared a room with him. Hearing that he got up from the ground, he just kicked his ass: "You have no fart, right?!"

Lao Jiu fell and staggered, and fought with him angrily: "Bullshit? What **** did I say?! Isn't what I said is the truth?! You are all in jail and you still want to go out all the way. Thirty-six punishments have what you suffer!"

The two of them fought so hard that Xiao Er brother yelled a few times without screaming. Jiang Ping'an heard the movement and slammed the railing with a whip. The harsh and crisp sound finally stopped the two of them.

Jiang Ping'an said solemnly: "No matter what the trouble is, let you guys try it too!"

Xiao Fengwu has never really suffered much in his life. Although he did not suffer from family law in the past, kneeling on the ancestral tablet and pulling his nails and burning his nails are clearly two different things. It was not long before he was picked up by Qin Mingyue and it was still good. Waiting for food and clothes.

He could laugh at life and death in the past, but it was because he had never experienced real misery. Now, his heart is truly uneasy.

Really have to die this time?

To be tortured, to beheaded?

Xiao Fengwu didn't know that he could not suffer.

Jiang Ping'an branded a word on the robber's face with a black mark, which was really ugly. Seeing Xiao Fengwu looking intently here, his face pale and dead, he subconsciously walked over: "Doctor Xiao, you...?"

When Xiao Fengwu came in, he hid a bag of silver, and he handed it all to Jiang Pingan and said: "Excuse me, help me prepare a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone."

Jiang Ping'an didn't ask for his money, so he pushed back: "There are pens, inks, papers and inkstones outside. The prisoners have just finished painting and before they have time to clean them up. I'll bring them in for you later. I may stay here for how long. , Save some money."

Xiao Fengwu had to withdraw his hand and said after a long while, "...thank you."

Xiao Fengming heard the words and said pitifully, "Sixteen, do you want to write a suicide note? Would you like to divide me some paper?"

Brother Xiao smiled and said without a smile: "Our whole family is here, who are you writing to see."

"I have a daughter-in-law and child, unlike you, an old bachelor!" Anyway, Xiao Fengming didn't close a room, and Xiao Fengming was not afraid of him hitting himself, but he was awkward. "Besides, the eighth brother hasn't come in yet."

When Brother Xiao saw that the government office had gone, he whispered: "He has gone to the Western Regions to run a caravan. Maybe he is the most hopeful one of our brothers to survive."

In other words, 80% of them are dying.

Xiao Fengwu lighted an oil lamp. It was still early, and it was just getting dark. Qin Mingyue has always been cold, and doesn't like to socialize with people. Today, she is singing night scenes again. I don’t know if I have been arrested. I guess he will come tomorrow. .

Qin Mingyue...

Mingyue...

Xiao Fengwu picked up his pen and dipped his ink, but did not drop a word for a while, and then asked quietly, "What medicine can make people die silently, without suffering and pain?"

Sometimes poison can save lives. If you can't stand the torture, you can swallow it. If you die, it's a relief.

Everyone raised their heads after hearing the words. After a moment of silence, they all understood what he meant, but no one said anything for a while. After all, they were afraid of death in their hearts. Unwilling to admit their fate, Xiao Fengming swallowed, and then trembled: "Red Is the flower scattered?"

Xiao Fengwu slowly raised his eyes: "It takes only half a cup of tea to stop breathing with abdominal cramps. Can you bear it?"

Can't stand it.

Xiao Fengming didn't say a word, he would only save people, not kill people.

Xiao Laojiu thought for a moment: "Lou Yansha?"

Xiao Fengwu thought for a while, but still didn't write down: "The blind white bass worms are only found in the Western Regions. Who can I expect to dispense medicine for you? Mynah?"

I was rustling around, but I was discussing how to die most comfortably. The voice reached the women’s prison, and only heard a sound of railings, followed by the clattering of iron chains: "Is the medical technique handed down from the ancestors that you use this way? We women didn’t look for death yet, and the men couldn’t hold on anymore, don’t be embarrassed! If you really want to die, you just hit the wall to death. What kind of medicinal materials and medicinal materials should be divided? No matter how good medicinal materials are used on you, it is a bad thing. !"

With this female voice, the brothers were all frightened. Xiao Fengming shrank and said, "It's the fourth sister, why are you still a tiger in the prison."

Xiao Fengwu closed his eyes and opened them again after a while, holding up his pen and dipping the ink, and the light flickered slightly, reflecting the words above clearly. It was clearly the incomplete part of the second half of the first-line needlework.

Xiao Fengwu's voice was calm, but he spoke to the female prison: "In the old days, there was a wealthy businessman in the South. His concubine was favored, but he was not pregnant for a long time. So he found a home remedy and mixed the jade infant pill with motherwort, cistanche, and white cypress. , Baiwu silkworm, Bai Wei, take it under a mild fire, and supplemented with Huangti Decoction. You will get pregnant after a month. Can this baby be guaranteed?"

There was a moment of silence in the female prison, and then a rustling sound. A moment later, there was a voice, like that of the Eleventh girl, with some hesitation: "This prescription is too strong, and the woman conceives a baby with blood and essence. It’s not easy. I’m afraid that the corpus luteum soup will be used to urge the eggs. It will be fine in March or May.

Xiao Fengwu kept writing and asked: "What if that beautiful concubine uses rare medicinal materials to survive her life, and she is lucky enough to protect her until the birth period, but her fetal position is incorrect?"

There was another whisper on the side of the female prison. Sister Xiao thought: "The fetal position is not correct, but you can push the palace to shift, but you can’t be anxious. This method takes three or four months to gently rub your abdomen with essential oils. The experienced midwife shifts the position of the fetus a little bit to the correct position. If it is already in labor, the baby will be very difficult to be born, for fear of one corpse and two lives."

Xu was bored. Seeing Xiao Fengwu and the other party singing and making peace, Xiao Fengming couldn't help but interrupted and said: "Hey, hey, why bother with it. Use Guiwei, safflower, Danpi, aconite, rhubarb, peach kernels, Guangui, and Zeshu. Five coins each, white vinegar paste as pills, and then take..."

Brother Xiao Liu directly said, "You are going to the son and mother! There is no lack of morality!"

Xiao Fengming scratched his neck and said, "Two deaths are better than one death!"

Xiao Fengwu said nothing. He already had a thick pile of paper on his hand. He put the pen, and suddenly raised his hand. The palm side was shining under the candlelight. The color was dim, but he saw a dazzling white, like It is as sharp as a blade.

He seemed to be asking others, and he seemed to be muttering to himself: "If, what about a laparotomy..."

It is not uncommon to find. Sima Qian’s "Historical Records: Family of Chu" once recorded that Wu Huisheng Lu Zhong, and Lu Zhong gave birth to six sons. He had a caesarean and gave birth. Although the risk is dangerous, you might as well try.

Sister Xiao wanted to listen to the news all the time, and then asked, "That beautiful concubine is weak, and if she has a **** collapse, what should I do? Or what should I do if my energy is exhausted during labor and the baby is stillborn? "

Xiao Fengwu seemed to have an idea: "The silver needle pierced the most, hidden white, xiali, Chengjiang, Yinxu, Pishu, Shenmen and other points to stop bleeding, took ginseng tablets in the mouth to reinvigorate Qi, took Husheng Decoction, and took the baby by caesarean. , Guben Peiyuan Tang with velvet antler, wild ginseng, winter worms, gastrodia, snow lotus..."

Before he finished speaking, Brother Xiao frowned and said, "Naughty! How can such a powerful medicine be used together? This recipe is too strong."

Xiao Fengming sighed and said boredly: "Lie Lie, you are all about to die. There are really people who can't treat him to treat his illness, so why do you really do it, let me say, I should save some energy, how to live comfortably."

Xiao Fengwu finished writing a few more sheets. He folded the stack of papers and thoughtfully: "Severely ill patients need to be given strong medicine, let the dead horse be a living doctor."

After he finished speaking, he staggered, moved his sore legs, and walked to the door of the prison. He was about to call Jiang Pingan, only to hear a rush of footsteps outside, and then a shadow of people rushed through the corridor.

"Master Sixteen!"

The person here was Qin Mingyue. He might have heard the news suddenly, and his face turned pale, his hands clenched tightly on the cold iron railings, a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes stared roundly because of too much horror.

Xiao Fengwu rarely saw Qin Mingyue's embarrassed appearance, and Qin Mingyue rarely saw Xiao Fengwu's embarrassed appearance. He looked at them, and there was a prison door between them, and they were relatively speechless.

Jiang Pingan looked around, and then whispered: "As soon as possible, lest you be discovered."

After he turned and left, Xiao Fengwu came back to his senses when he heard the sound of his footsteps, "Why are you here."

He kicked the hay by the door and found a pool of wet rat urine on the ground. He didn't sit down cruelly, so he stood and talked.

Seeing him in a prison uniform, Qin Mingyue was even more desperate than the Xiao family had died. His teeth were tightly clenched, and the blue veins were hidden in his forehead, and he asked him coldly, "Should I not come?"

Xiao Fengwu did not answer, looked for a moment, and then hesitated. He stretched out a hand from the railing, wiped the ink on the side of his face, and rubbed his cheek with his knuckles: "Don't come anymore. Don't be involved."

Qin Mingyue looked at him: "Do you think I'm afraid?"

Xiao Fengwu smiled upon hearing this, "Well, actually there is something that asks you for help."

He handed over a thick stack of paper, and the ink was beginning to dry: "There is a prescription above, help me make a dozen pills, and bring it in. I will trouble you to come to the capital to find a way to give it to General Huaihua. Let him bring my second uncle. He is very affectionate, and he should be able to help this."

Qin Mingyue took it, glanced at it, clenched her fingertips tightly, and whispered, "What kind of medicine is it?"

"Don't ask, Mingyue, you know, I don't like to study medicine. I just feel the wound is dirty and disgusting. I don't want to look at it. How did you let me suffer those tortures, and even a whole body of it? Can't stay."

Xiao Fengwu said, laughing and shaking his head: "The separation of the body and the head is too scary."

How come it is where it is today...

How come it is where it is today...

God is not punishing the Xiao family, but Qin Mingyue.

Qin Mingyue's eyes were slightly red, and his breathing gradually became heavier. He closed his eyes, clenched Xiao Fengwu's cold hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, I must try to save you, even if I can't save you... I won't leave you on Huangquan Road. One person, Lord Sixteen, I will be with you."

No matter how cold he looks, no matter how withdrawn, he is actually as simple as he was back then, he likes someone, and he can't wait to even take out his heart, how can he spare his life.

Xiao Fengwu looked at him: "I'm not worth it."

Qin Mingyue almost crushed his wrist bones with great strength, as always paranoid: "I said it is worth it."
