Chapter 137 Rescued
After searching for two days without any news of Zhang Wenbin, Li Jiaojiao became anxious and couldn't sleep well at night. It would be good if Zhang Wenbin was okay, but if he had an accident or died outside, she would become a widow.
She had only been married for a few months and didn't want to become a widow. She tossed and turned and finally fell asleep. She had a strange dream. In the dream, Zhang Wenbin was lying in a cell. The floor was dirty and he looked listless. No matter how she called him, he didn't move. Li Jiaojiao was frightened awake and broke out in a sweat. After waking up, she felt that the dream was extremely real.
He hurriedly called in the maid who was guarding the outer room and asked her if she had looked for him in the county jail. The maid shook her head, wondering how a servant like her could know such a thing.
Li Jiaojiao waved her hands impatiently, motioning her to go out, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Why would she have such a dream out of the blue?
She wanted to tell Zhang Yaozu about this, but she was hesitant. If she could really find it, it would be fine. But if she couldn't, Zhang Yaozu's annoyance with her would deepen.
After thinking it over again and again, she decided to go find it herself. She couldn't wait any longer, so she put on her clothes, took her maid, and went out to find a few servants.
After making sure that they had not been to the prison to look for her, he ordered them to go to the prison together. Several servants were somewhat reluctant, but Li Jiaojiao was in favor now, so they had to go with him even if they were reluctant.
There were two servants in front, each holding a torch. Li Jiaojiao and her maid walked in the middle, followed by four more servants.
When they arrived at the cell, the guards were inevitably a little surprised. What were they doing in the middle of the night?
Li Jiaojiao didn't explain much to him. She just said she came to the cell to look for someone and asked the guard to take her to look for someone in each cell. There were several prisoners in the cell, and Li Jiaojiao checked them carefully one by one from outside.
No, none of them. The more I read, the more anxious I became. Could this just be a dream and not some kind of warning? I couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed.
When she walked around and came out, her face looked even uglier. The little maid persuaded Li Jiaojiao to go back as it was too late.
Since we can't find it, we can only go back. Just as we started walking, Li Jiaojiao suddenly asked, "Is this the only cell in the county government?"
"There is another prison cell in the backyard, but it has been abandoned for a long time and no prisoners are held there now." One of the servants replied. He had been in the county government office for a long time, so he knew more than others.
Her heart, which had been gradually cooling down, suddenly became excited again. Li Jiaojiao's mood was up and down. The abandoned cell, where Zhang Wenbin was lying in her dream, was empty, except for him.
"Hurry, take me to that cell." Li Jiaojiao said anxiously. At the same time, there was a voice in her heart saying, he is there, he must be there.
The servant and the maid looked at Li Jiaojiao in surprise. What happened to her tonight that she had to go to the cell?
The servant had no choice but to lead the way. Li Jiaojiao's heart couldn't stop pounding, and she just urged them to go faster and faster.
The group of people soon arrived outside the cell. The dilapidated cell had been in disrepair for many years, and the outside looked mottled and dripping. It seemed eerie and terrifying in the night.
Suppress the fear in your heart. What is there to be afraid of with so many of them?
"Go in and find the young master inside." Li Jiaojiao saw that they were hesitant and gave the order directly.
Li Jiaojiao was the master and they were the servants, so they had no choice but to listen to her and reach out to open the door of the cell.
The door opened with a creaky sound, and it was quiet inside. Li Jiaojiao tentatively called out "Wen Bin".
There was no sound in the dark cell.
At this moment, Li Jiaojiao was a little hesitant. Should she go inside to take a look? But if Zhang Wenbin was here, why didn't he answer when he was called?
After standing at the door for a while, she decided to go in and take a look, because her dream was too real. Since she was already here, it wouldn't take much time to go in and take a look.
A group of people searched room by room. The cell was very small and there were not many rooms. If it was daytime, one could see the end at a glance, but at night there was no light at all and they had to rely on torches in their hands for lighting.
They could only search one cell at a time. The cells were divided into two rows, left and right. When they entered, they started from the first row on the left. There was nothing in the first cell, and there was nothing in the second cell either.
After searching several rooms, she only saw a rat crawling on the floor and nothing else. Li Jiaojiao continued to search without giving up. A sense of loss gradually arose in her heart. Maybe she should not have come out.
When they found the last cell, they unexpectedly discovered that the door was locked. Li Jiaojiao's eyes widened instantly: "Hurry up and see if there is anyone in the cell?"
The doors of the previous cells were not locked, but this one was locked. They couldn't get in and couldn't see what was going on inside. Li Jiaojiao ordered people to light a few torches.
I could only barely see what was going on inside the cell through the bars outside.
I saw a figure lying on the hay spread on the floor against the wall of the empty cell, but I couldn't see the person's face clearly because it was too far away.
There were so many people outside, but the person inside didn't make any movement at all. Li Jiaojiao's heart instantly rose to her throat. It must be him, but why didn't he move at all? Could he be dead?
He hurriedly asked someone to open the cell door, and after a while the cell door was finally opened.
Regardless of the dirt and mess, Li Jiaojiao rushed in first with a torch in her hand. When she saw the person lying on the ground, she covered her mouth and gasped.
The person on the ground was indeed Zhang Wenbin, but he looked extremely disheveled at this moment, his face was haggard, his lips were chapped, his face was flushed, and when you listened carefully, you could hear him mumbling something.
It was obvious that the person had a high fever. Li Jiaojiao forced herself to stay calm and not panic. As long as the person was not dead, it was good. She first sent someone to notify Zhang Yaozu, and she told the servant to gently carry Zhang Wenbin out.
Zhang Wenbin was still wearing the same underwear, and the back of his hand was covered in blood. Because the wound was not cleaned in time, it had become festered.
Tears kept welling up in her eyes. Li Jiaojiao didn't know whether it was for herself or for Zhang Wenbin. It was great that he was not dead.
When Zhang Wenbin was put on the bed, Zhang Yaozu also rushed over. Seeing that Zhang Wenbin was fine, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After finding out the cause of the incident, Zhang Yaozu looked at Li Jiaojiao with appreciation and said solemnly: "You did a good job. When Wenbin wakes up, you will be rewarded handsomely."
"Father, this is what a daughter-in-law should do. I don't want any reward. I just hope that my husband will wake up soon." Li Jiaojiao's words sounded high-sounding, but I wonder how much truth there was in them?
But she did make a great contribution in this matter. If it weren't for her, Zhang Wenbin might have really died in the cell.
Wait for Zhang Wenbin to wake up again.
