Chapter 3 - Chapter 4

At the moment, she can't go head-to-head. After thinking about it, she forcefully broke off the small rusty shovel from the crack in the middle. Fortunately, there was a gap and it broke off very easily.

She used the greatest force to break off the notch of the small shovel, which was about two fingers wide, and a ten-centimeter-long piece of iron, small enough to be hidden in her sleeve.

She returned the shovel to the corner and hid it away from being viewed. Making it look untouched. Even if someone were see this shovel, it would be as if a small piece of rust had fallen off.

Then, she took a wooden bucket with a wooden ladle in it and went out.

Walking passed the other rooms, she found that one of the doors was not closed. Peeking in through the crack of the door, there was a wooden corner on the shelf and a washbasin, which was the bathroom.

There are also two thatched houses.

She walked around the back of the house with a wooden bucket and saw a stone well.

There is a hand-operated wheel on the well, with a rope hanging from it and a wooden barrel tied to it.

Yan Shuixin walked to the well, took off the wooden barrel tied to the well wheel and threw it into the well. The well was very deep, about three meters deep.

The water at the bottom of the well is about one meter deep. There are also a few fish in the water. Yan Shuixin knew that the purpose of raising fish was to prevent someone from poisoning the well without being detected.

The wooden bucket tied with a rope was thrown into the well to draw water. She shook the handle of the wheel with great strength to shake the bucket of water up, and then poured the water into the wooden bucket she brought.

She couldn't wait to quench her thirst. She quickly scooped up a ladle of water from the bucket to wash her hands, and then, after scooping up a few more water, she drank wildly.

Finally, after a few scoops, she felt as if her appetite had been suppressed.

There is water by the well now, and there is also a grinding stone beside it. Without anyone else around, polishing iron sheets is the most convenient at the moment. Unfortunately, the prison guard standing tall on the watchtower can see the situation here. She had no choice but to stop thinking about polishing the iron sheet here.

She still don't know what she looks like with her new body? When she looked at her reflection in the water in the bucket, she saw a disheveled and filthy face, filthier than a beggar. Her lips were pale, and her face was riddled with acne.

At first glance, it was horribly dirty and ugly. Yan Shuixin loves beauty very much. In modern times, she is a big beauty with a plump front and an upturned back.

How can she stand being an ugly person? Her heart felt as uncomfortable as being cast into the 18th floor of hell.

Look carefully, her outline is so familiar...

If she wash her face and ignore the acne on her face, she will look exactly like her modern self! The only difference is that she went from being twenty-six to seventeen years old. With this face, she should be no more than sixteen years old.

She glanced at her thin body again. If the acne is cured, she can eat better and grow some meat. Could it be possible to restore her old figure and beauty?

Yan Shuixin is a doctor, of course she can cure the acne on her face. However, she felt that it was better not to treat the acne on her face if she was in an ancient prison. Lest the jailers become lustful.

She was still ten years younger, and the fact that she could still become more beautiful in the future made her feel much happier.

Yan Shuixin walked towards the prison with a bucket of water filled again in one hand. The wooden bucket was already a bit heavy, and it became even heavier when it was filled with water. Fortunately, although it was hard, she could still carry it.

Passing by the utility room of the low house, she freed her hands again and took a dustpan and a broom. The guards standing guard on the tower saw that she was just sweeping and ignored her.

Yan Shuixin returned to the dark prison with the things she needed for cleaning.

The lengthy dark corridor is about two meters wide, and it appears that the length of the passage has no end. Both sides are lined with strong iron pillars and rows of convicts.

She first placed the bucket in the middle of the corridor outside the first cell. A male prisoner immediately rushed to the iron bars of the cell, stretched out his hand through the gap between the iron bars, and shouted, "Give me water, I want water!"

Reaching out of the cage, he waved his hand at her through the cracks in the iron pillars, "I'm thirsty, give me water, give me water!"

Yan Shuixin realized that many people in the cell were starving and emaciated, and their lips were chapped of. But some people don't seem to be short of water or food.

She instantly understood that those people who were starving due to lack of water either offended the guards, or were robbed of their drinking water and food by fellow prisoners.

There was even the situation with the female prisoner named Li Donghong, who was beaten half to death by the jailer.

"I want to drink water too..." Seeing her coming with a bucket of water, the prisoners in other cells uttered their voices one after another.

"I haven't drunk water for three days. I'm dying of thirst. I beg you, give me water..." A male prisoner in his twenties knelt down towards her in the first cell, his voice was hoarse and weak, and there were several deep dry marks on his lips. Obviously what was said was true.

Even if Yan Shuixin had read the original book, she didn't know the names of the prisoners who were not highlighted by the author. She didn't recognize the ones who made the noise.

But seeing the extreme thirst of these people, she felt compassion for a moment.

Isn't it just a little water, just give it.

She pointed to the empty bowl in his cell, "Pass the bowl here, and I'll serve you some." The male prisoner quickly handed the bowl out from between the two thick pillars.

She took the dirty bowl from his hand, trying to scoop a bowl of water into the bucket. But she changed her mind after seeing that the bowl is too dirty, others may want to drink it, so it is better not to dirty the water in the bucket.

So, she grabbed the edge of the barrel and tipped it over, poured half a bowl of water and handed it to the kneeling male prisoner.

As soon as the male prisoner took the bowl, it was overturned by another strong male prisoner in his cell.

"Fuck, what water are you drinking! Did I allow you to drink it?" The strong male prisoner kicked the kneeling male prisoner away.

"Brother Sheng, please forgive me." The kneeling male prisoner kowtowed on the ground, "Let me drink some water, otherwise, Awang will die of thirst, and no one will serve you."

The male prisoner laughed mockingly, "That's right, I'll give you a few sips by licking up the water on the ground!"

The kneeling Awang hurriedly licked the puddle of water on the ground in a kneeling position.

Yan Shuixin didn't have time to sympathize with Awang, because she was too close to Awang when she handed the water bowl just now, and she was actually pulled over by another male prisoner in the cell.

Across the thick prison pillars, her hands were gripped between the gaps of the prison pillars by the male prisoner

The man named Brother Sheng came over and patted the shoulder of the male prisoner who was holding her, "Little Liu, you did a good job."

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Sheng. It's a servant's honor to do things for you." Brother Sheng was flattered by the male prisoner named Little Liu.

Brother Sheng stretched out his hand, poked out the gap between the prison pillars, and touched Yan Shuixin outside the prison through the pillars.

Yan Shuixin turned pale with shock, "Stop!"

If Little Liu hadn't restrained her hands, she would have liked to give Brother Sheng a slap.

Brother Sheng grinned. "Damn, you're so skinny, you don't have much meat on your body!"

"Stupid, who asked you to be sympathetic."

A male voice in the second cell nearby laughed, "Caught by these hungry wolves, how long have these wolves been near women? Even if you are ugly, you can be torn apart and eaten alive!"

Yan Shuixin actually learned judo and taekwondo in modern times, and even won the third place in the competition. But it's impossible to jump over the roof and wall like on TV. She can only hit two or three people at most.

She buckled Little Liu's restraints backwards, and took a few steps back forcefully, she broke free.

She glanced at the male prisoner who called her stupid.

With bright eyebrows and starry eyes, a tall figure, and an inconspicuous black mole on his forehead. He keeps his hands behind his back in prison with a self proclaimed and unrestrained appearance.

Isn't this... Bai Jinchuan, the hero in the book?

Bai Jinchuan is the son of the prime minister Bai Jizhe. According to the book, he is strong in martial arts and has always been romantic and affectionate. He has become dream husband of many wealthy ladies and brothel courtesans in the capital, and he even has an affair with the heroine Xia Chuxue.

Coincidentally, Bai Jinchuan, an innocent playboy, was also arrested and put on death row.

Yan Shuixin only read half of the book, and thought that the scumbag author often forgot to write about the hero. They didn't even write how many days Bai Jinchuan lived here.

Thinking that Yan Shuixin was overwhelmed by his own beauty, Bai Jinchuan even gave her a seductive wink.

'Sure enough, this young master is handsome and charming, and even when he enters the cell, women still cannot resist him.'

Yan Shuixin took an extra look because he was the male lead of the original book. But seeing the other party unexpectedly displaying a flirtatious look, she was very disdainful in her heart.

But the male and female protagonists of the book all have the halo as the main leads. If it is not necessary, it is better not to easily offend the other party as the female supporting role.

She just averted her eyes indifferently.

In the cell, Brother Sheng's hand that had gripped Yan Shuixin dropped empty in the cell. Through the iron bars of the jail, he was yelling violently at her. "Bitch, it's your good luck that I touch you, and you dare to run away!"

Then he punched Xiao Liu next to him on the head, "You can't even catch a woman."

Yan Shuixin glared at Brother Sheng angrily with sharp eyes, and thought to herself: 'It's best not to fall into my hands, otherwise... I will definitely kill you!'

Now that she is weak, she will not be so stupid as to say it.

After this, Yan Shuixin didn't dare to get too close to these cells where men were locked up, and she wouldn't just give water to anyone who asked for it.

One is the fear of being bullied again. Secondly, in so many cells, there are more than 300 people in total. If everyone got a bowl of water, then all that work would be enough for her to get too tired.

Thinking about how she passed by with the jailer before, and these male prisoners didn't dare to utter a sound. They're clearly bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

"I can't fetch water at will." Yan Shuixin said loudly standing on the sidewalk of the cell, "Don't ask me for water anymore. It's used for cleaning. If there is not enough water for sweeping, I will also be beaten. I won't give it to anyone who asks."

After she said this, many voices begging for water fell silent.

Yan Shuixin took the broom and was about to sweep the corridor first, and inevitably got close to the cells on both sides.

As soon as she swept to the side, another male prisoner wanted to grab her.

She frowned and said in a cold voice, "Just now the prison guard said that if I can't do the cleaning job well, I will die. Whoever grabs me is hindering me from cleaning... Before I am beaten to death, I will definitely drag you with me, for the crime of stopping me from working."

Perhaps the jailer was too cruel, and no one wanted to cause such trouble. Furthermore, with her current appearance, no one is interested in her. After she finished speaking, no one reached out to her any more.

Yan Shuixin quickly swept the long cell aisles, and put the garbage into the dustpan. Cleaning to the innermost room, there is a small sign on the upper left corner of the cell, which says cell fifty-nine.

Xiao Yeheng was the only one who was confined inside. Perhaps because he was crippled and had a broken leg, and the jailer assumed he couldn't flee. The jail door wasn't locked after she was let out earlier.

Yan Shuixin walked in with a dustpan and broom in one hand and a bucket in the other.
