“That’s nonsense! You’ll live to a ripe old age! You still have more than 20 years to go!” Qin Shuhua’s heart ached a little . Upon finishing the last character, she placed the calligraphy brush back on the stand .
“I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might conquers the world . ”
When Old Captain Li was young, that sentence described him to a T . Now, so many years had passed .
Li Xun’s name had become something of a legend . Now, this legend was slowly getting old and withering .
Old Captain Li chuckled . “Our lives and deaths are not up to us . ” As he spoke, he clapped his hands and said, “Bring the children over . Now that Dasu has gone to the Capital, I’m sure Ersu will have a hard time getting used to it . Let her come over to play . ”
“Alright,” Qin Shuhua said .
Upon hearing the reply, the old man leaned on his walking stick . With measured footsteps, he slowly made his way back .
Qin Shuhua stared at the image of Old Captain Li’s retreating back . It was a long time before she tilted her head down and looked at the paper .
“I have the strength to pick up mountains, and my might conquers the world . ”
The sound of handcuffs clanging against each other could be heard . Two female prison wardens dressed in black uniform flanked a woman with short hair as they made their way into the prison cell .
The woman was almost 5-foot-5, big-boned, and a little tan . Her features looked hardened . Both her hands were in handcuffs .
Although there were two prison wardens keeping their eyes on her, she continued to defiantly look around at her surroundings . She seemed to be chewing something in her mouth . As she looked to her left and her right, it was obvious that she was looking for something .
As she passed through, many other inmates saw her, but no one made a sound . None of them acted as frivolously as they had when Ye Youyou came in .
Ye Youyou stood among the crowd looking at the woman and inwardly laughed . Even when it came to the fierce criminals in the prison, they only preyed on the weak and remained afraid of the strong .
Before she could complete her unspoken criticisms, she sensed a pair of eyes intently looking at her . Ye Youyou jerked back in shock and looked toward the short-haired woman .
At that moment, their eyes met . There was a subtle ray of light in the eyes of that short-haired woman . An invisible and intrusive chill went up Ye Youyou’s spine . Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly retreated into the safely of the crowd .
“Get in! Behave yourself!” the prison warden demanded curtly as she pushed the short-haired woman in .
The woman stumbled upon being pushed so harshly . Inside the prison cell, she straightened up quickly and steadied herself .
The sound of the metal doors clanging shut behind her rang out . Standing upright, the short-haired woman arranged her clothing and flippantly burst out laughing . She rubbed the inner walls of her mouth with her tongue, and her cheeks bulged out . She glanced out at the crowd and did not display the fear and helplessness of a usual convict .
“Hey, Lao Zhou, you’re back in here again!”
Ye Youyou looked over toward the source of the familiar voice . It was Wang Zhuang, who was at the top of the prison hierarchy . Many people were afraid of her . Not only was she burly in stature, she also possessed an explosive personality . Even more terrifying was she was very skilled . Once her moves came out to play, they were almost shadowless .
It was Ye Youyou’s second day in prison . She wasn’t familiar with anyone in the prison . She still knew enough to not get too close to any of them .
When Lao Zhou heard Wang Zhuang bellow her name, she turned her head to look . She laughed and replied, “Why aren’t you out yet? I was out for almost two months!”
“Bad luck . The date was postponed . ” Wang Zhuang burst out in guffaws . “What crime did you commit this time around?”
“Oh my god . Don’t mention it,” Lao Zhou replied with a sigh . “I just stabbed a bastard in the gut . By right, it could have been settled with money, but they insisted on throwing me in here . ”
As Lao Zhou spoke, her eyes scanned the crowd . Ye Youyou instinctively scooted toward the back .
