Chapter 864 Acting School
"Wait, wait until I peel your skin off." Pang Xiao shouted back without any politeness.
The jailer looked at this man with eyes that made him feel fear and ran away.
Without the jailer, the prisoners in the other cells in the prison became bolder. They all looked here curiously, and some were talking in low voices. It's just that most of the prisoners were sitting on the ground haggard and powerless, each in a daze, no longer caring about the outside world.
Pang Xiao kicked the dirty and moldy straw on the ground, sat down carelessly, and then held Qin Yining in his arms and let her sit on his lap.
His thighs were strong and strong, and in this cold and damp cell, his embrace was full of warmth.
Qin Yining said worriedly: "It's cold on the ground." He took off his magenta and gold-threaded jacket and folded it into a square, "You sit here."
"It's okay, this is not cool." Pang Xiao looked down at Qin Yining tossing in his arms, his eyes watering with tenderness.
Qin Yining refused to listen to him and forced her to use the mat as a cushion.
When Bingtang, Huzi and others in the next cell saw it, they couldn't help but smile a little, and they all found their own seats and sat down.
Qin Yining whispered to Pang Xiao, "How long do you think Lu Zheng will lock us up?"
"Who knows. But what is certain is that he probably just wanted to kill our prestige, and when something like this happened, he was focused on Lu Xi and couldn't care about us."
"Yeah. I think so too." Qin Yining leaned into Pang Xiao's ear and whispered, "Before we came here, we were still wondering who in the Lu family was here to discuss this matter. Now it seems that it should be Lu Zheng."
"yes."
Pang Xiao's ears were tickled by Qin Yining's warm breath, and he couldn't help but lean over and kiss her cheek.
Qin Yining was stunned and quickly looked next door. When he found that no one was paying attention, he gently pinched the flesh on Pang Xiao's waist angrily.
Pang Xiao laughed out loud, hugged Qin Yining and shook him, whispering in a low voice: "It's good to be locked up with you, even if I'm in jail."
"Idiot, I've never seen anyone feel good about being in jail." Qin Yining felt like he had eaten honey, and it was sweet from his heart to his mouth.
It was just that he was imprisoned in the end, even though Qin Yining knew that Pang Xiao was by his side,
My own safety can be guaranteed, but I still feel a little uneasy.
There was only one torch in the prison, leaning against the window at the end of the corridor. The entire prison was illuminated by this light. But later on, the torches were extinguished, and there were dark clouds outside. The moonlight and stars were not visible at all, and it became completely invisible in the prison.
Qin Yining huddled in Pang Xiao's arms, putting her ear against his heart, listening to his steady heartbeat, and gradually fell into a dream.
Pang Xiao closed her eyes and slept lightly. Even if she took a nap, she did not forget to pay attention to the movements around her. Her arms were always around the person in her arms, which gave her a sense of security and made her feel stable.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor.
Then you can see a little candlelight gradually approaching, and the orange-red light moves slowly in the prison, lighting up wherever it passes, and then returns to darkness in the blink of an eye.
The visitor stood outside the cell door where Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were, placed a lantern on the cell door, and said, "What do you call this little lady?"
The arrival of this man woke up everyone in the prison.
Pang Xiao raised his eyes and found that it was the middle-aged man who had followed Lu Zheng in front of the boat just now.
He came in person, but talked to Qin Yining, and his intention was very clear.
I just don’t know if this was his own intention or Lu Zheng’s order.
Qin Yining rubbed his eyes sleepily, glanced at Shopkeeper Yuanda, and said, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Yuan. I am the shopkeeper under Young Master Lu. I am in charge of many businesses and shops." Shopkeeper Yuan smiled very gently.
Qin Yining narrowed her almond-shaped eyes slightly, and then smiled: "It turns out to be the shopkeeper of Yuanda. You are here, but what are your orders?"
When you look at a beauty under the lamp, you should be even more beautiful, and when the beauty smiles...
Shopkeeper Yuanda's bones were about to become crispy, and he thought to himself: Could it be that the beauty didn't want to stay in prison and wanted to grab her own life-saving straw?
"Hey, I can't talk about orders. I just came here to see how the situation is in the prison. The girl is lacking something here." Shopkeeper Yuanda smiled even more gently.
"There must be a lack of everything in the cell. Isn't it unnecessary for the shopkeeper of Yuanda to ask?" Qin Yining frowned in disgust: "There is not even a quilt here, how can one rest? My eldest young master is here to talk to Lu Da The young master was negotiating business, but ended up throwing the person in jail without asking any questions. Is this how you treat guests?"
The woman's tone was not strong, nor was her voice sharp. It was so soft that it still echoed in the prison. But every word I heard sounded like a slap in the face.
Shopkeeper Yuanda was embarrassed for a moment after hearing this, and his eyes couldn't leave Qin Yining.
"Young lady is also a very thoughtful person. It seems that you are not a woman, just think that you are as mindless and brainless as an ordinary woman." Shopkeeper Yuanda said with a smile, "I would like to talk to my lady, you Can I give you a face?"
Talking to a strange woman in the middle of the night?
Pang Xiao was furious. If Qin Yining hadn't pinched him secretly, he would have been unable to bear it.
Qin Yining chuckled and said, "Does your young master Lu know if you do this?"
Shopkeeper Yuanda looked slightly suffocated, "I also work for the Lu family, and the eldest young master understands my painstaking efforts."
"So that's it. Shopkeeper Yuanda's hard work has really paid off. But I appreciate your kindness and ask you to go back and tell Young Master Lu that if you want to talk to me, let him come in person. Remember, it's daytime, not the middle of the night. "
The mention of "daytime" and "midnight" is a clear attempt to expose shopkeeper Yuanda and mercilessly ridicule his character in public.
The prison head standing at the corner lowered his head and tried to minimize his presence.
But there was more than one person in the cell. Shopkeeper Yuanda thought this woman was an intellectual. Who would have expected that she would not save face for him.
"Okay, very good. You don't even know what kind of person you are. Why are you pretending to be the Three True Spirits and Nine Lies in front of me?"
"Shopkeeper Yuanda is really knowledgeable. He actually knows the words San Zhen Jiu Lie." Qin Yining sneered.
Shopkeeper Yuanda fell back in anger, grabbed the wooden bars on the cell door, and took a few deep breaths. His anger was not gone, but his face looked calm.
He suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that you don't look down on me as a little shopkeeper now. I hope you won't regret it in the future. I'm afraid it won't be so easy if you come to talk to me again. Farewell."
"Go slowly, don't send me off. If you see Young Master Lu later, I will also say a few good words for you in front of Young Master Lu. After all, there are not many big shopkeepers as conscientious and responsible as you nowadays. There are a few. How can a person not go back to sleep in the middle of the night, but come to the prison to visit a strange woman?"
Shopkeeper Yuanda's face turned red and white. He glared at Qin Yining for a long time, then turned around and walked away quickly with the lantern in hand, even faster than when he came.
Qin Yining sneered, turned around and whispered to Pang Xiao: "Ignore him, this kind of person is not a big deal and is nothing to be afraid of."
Seeing his wife being coveted, Pang Xiao had no way to vent his pent-up anger. Even if Qin Yining had the advantage, he would have zero tolerance for this kind of thing.
But when he met Qin Yining's gentle eyes, he couldn't put on a dark face no matter what.
Pang Xiao took a deep breath and touched her cheek with his big hand, "Okay, be good, go to sleep."
Qin Yining nodded and leaned into Pang Xiao's arms, "You should go to bed quickly and recharge your batteries."
"Okay." Pang Xiao patted her back gently, as if coaxing a child.
Only then did Huzi, Bingtang and the others relax completely.
Obviously, they were also very angry with Shopkeeper Yuanda. If Pang Xiao had raised his arms just now, these people would definitely follow him out of the prison immediately.
Everyone was mentally prepared. Since Lu Zheng was going to intimidate them, even without torture, their life would not be easy.
The dark and damp environment in the prison was very depressing, and there was always a fishy smell in the air. The mice have become bolder, and sometimes they pass by in small groups. Coupled with deliberate harsh treatment in diet.
For three days, everyone only ate some brown rice porridge that could be seen in the human figure.
Fortunately, Bingtang was smart and carried a small medicine bag with him. He was afraid that people would get sick, so he gave everyone pills to replenish qi and blood.
Qin Yining was so hungry that he had no energy. He rested his head on Pang Xiao's shoulder and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I think that's about it."
Pang Xiao's lips were also a little white. He stroked Qin Yining's long hair with his big hands, "I think so. Don't worry, he is not the one who calls the shots. There is an old man in their family who can use his private power to do this. That’s the end of it.”
Sure enough, that afternoon, shopkeeper Yuanda came.
When he met the cell boss and jailer, Shopkeeper Yuanda's expression was normal, but not as warm as before.
The prison boss secretly complained that shopkeeper Yuan Da was a little arrogant. He wanted to spend the spring night with the beauty, but the beauty's nose was not the nose or the eyes. It was just embarrassing, and he also made others angry.
It's just that the internal slander is the internal slander, but the emotions can't be shown on the face.
"How are they doing these days? Are they honest?" Shopkeeper Yuanda asked.
The cell leader Xi Yao said respectfully: "According to your instructions, food and drink are limited. They are so hungry that they have no strength to speak. They must not dare to resist anymore."
When Shopkeeper Yuanda heard this, he secretly regretted that he had not restrained himself that day and actually came that night. The woman was too attractive. If he was not impatient and waited until now, the woman might have suffered enough and she would be able to obey him. .
Shopkeeper Yuanda sighed in his heart and quickly walked into the prison.
Standing in front of the cell door where Pang Xiao and Qin Yining were, looking at the two people in embarrassment, he said unwillingly: "Have you thought clearly?"
Pang Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at Shopkeeper Yuanda, his tone still domineering.
"I am the eldest young master of the Wan family. You have treated me like this. I will definitely report back to you when I go back!"
Shopkeeper Yuanda snorted contemptuously, and replied to the master that he wanted to go home and complain to his father?
