After the woman claimed the body, Qi Yan's condition seemed to improve a bit. He joked and chatted with everyone. Although everyone usually made fun of him for his lack of worldliness, he never got angry.
How many guards in history have been so cheerful with prisoners
Qi Yan felt that he had opened up a new world. Yu Xi doesn't know how long he will be imprisoned, while others will only be imprisoned for two years at most. Some may be released after a few months.
Qi Yan tells himself every time not to invest too much emotion in other people, because one day they will be separated.
After doing what he should do, Qi Yan sat on the wooden chair. That is his exclusive seat. When he rests, whether he is reading or eating, he stays here.
Anyway, his job is just to guard the prisoners in these cells. Apart from here, there are many cells that are guarded by others.
He had nothing to do that day, so he took out a small book from his arms. It was gossip sold on the street, and he bought it to read when he was bored.
"Our Qi Yan can still read!" The bearded man looked over and grinned: "Hey, the new one can read, right?"
Yu Xi, who was called out, raised his eyebrows and responded loudly: "Ya is born without talent and only knows a few words."
"Stop emphasizing that formality!" The bearded man waved his hand: "You see, our Qi Yan doesn't know all the words."
Being laughed at like this, Qi Yan rolled his eyes, turned his head silently, supported his chin with his hand, and turned the back of his head towards them.
This childish move caused everyone to laugh again, although Qi Yan didn't think it was funny!
Of course, you definitely don’t know what’s funny about you. If others laugh, then that’s the real joke.
What Qi Yan didn't expect was that Yu Xi actually responded and asked Qi Yan to bring the small book over and the two of them read it together.
Full of reluctance, but unable to withstand the cheers from others, Qi Yan held the book and walked towards the last cell.
As he approached, a smile flashed in Yu Xi's eyes.
[The male protagonist’s initial favorability towards Qi Yan is 30, the male protagonist’s favorability towards Qi Yan is +5, and the current favorability towards Qi Yan is: 35]
Yu Xi is completely interested in Qi Yan. After all, he is in prison and usually has nothing to do. He can only find fun to live by himself. After these few days of getting along, Yu Xi found that the most interesting moments are when these people tease the little ones. It's time for the jailer.
Qi Yan didn't mind being dirty when he came over with the book in his hands. He sat at the door of Yu Xi's cell and stuffed the book inside.
"Have a look and return it to me after you finish it. It won't be good if the inspector sees it."
Qi Yan thought he was free and wanted to read, so he gave the book to him without any worries. Yu Xi looked at the book that fell on the haystack, walked over to pick it up, and after flipping through two pages, he sat down.
There was an iron door and railing between the two of them. Seeing him watching attentively, Qi Yan couldn't help but wonder if what he had read before was a fake book...
Is this book so attractive? A young master can't put it down and can't take his eyes off it
Unconsciously, he raised his neck and looked over. Qi Yan glanced at the page he was reading, which happened to be the page he was reading.
"This is a miscellany. If you don't read it from the beginning, can you understand it?" Qi Yan began to popularize science: "This is a miscellany of study tours. It records trivial matters in many areas. The stories are all coherent. The first one is about going north... "
Qi Yan's voice was very light and moist, like a clear spring flowing in the bamboo forest. The splashing water hit the stones washed clean by the spring water, making a crisp sound.
It is also like the music played by the master deep in the bamboo forest. It is born to please the ears, but those who know it find it very beautiful.
Yu Xi just listened, her eyes moving up from the book and landing on Qi Yan's exceptionally rosy cheeks. His eyes were shining, as if he was very happy when he was told about this miscellany.
Such a young man as simple as rice paper would actually sacrifice his body for Daliang.
Although the jailer is the lowest position, he also belongs to Liang's army and is subordinate to the officers and soldiers.
This is just lip service. Whether it is rights or monthly money, it does not meet the standards that officers and soldiers should have.
As Qi Yan was talking, he noticed that Yu Xi was looking at him softly. The voice gradually became quieter. Qi Yan touched his face and looked away in embarrassment: "You, what do you think I'm doing..."
"I just feel like you don't look like a jailer." Yu Xi closed the book and returned it to him: "I admire you very much. If I go out, would you like to resign as a jailer, study with me, and become a child or... Shopkeeper?"
"No." Qi Yan refused quickly: "The position of jailer may seem like a shabby job to others, but to me it is like a treasure."
Yu Xi's eyes narrowed: "Don't you want to think about it again?"
"No need. As long as Daliang is not destroyed, I am willing to sit in this jailer's position for the rest of my life." After Qi Yan finished speaking, he took the book, stood up, brushed the dust off his body, and said, "My mother fought for this for me. position."
A poor family treats a little jailer as a treasure after winning it all their life.
Yu Xi felt funny, but when he saw Qi Yan's unusually serious gaze, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Everyone has something they cherish, and I'm afraid this title of 'jailer' is what Qi Yan wants to cherish.
Yu Xi couldn't laugh anymore. In his opinion, all ridiculous things were taken very seriously by others.
Another half month passed, and because there was no conclusive evidence, Yu Xi was released unscathed.
On the day he left, Qi Yan took him out through the back door of the Yamen.
There was a luxurious sedan waiting at the back door. Such a wealthy and wealthy person was obviously waiting for Yu Xi.
A trace of envy flashed in Qi Yan's eyes, and he turned to Yu Xi and said, "Look, I'll tell you who is clear."
Yu Xi smiled, dug into his sleeves, and took out an ordinary wooden pendant: "This is for you."
"What is this?" Qi Yan didn't answer it, because that thing was like an identity card belonging to a cult: "I don't want it."
"Hey." Yu Xi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Xuanhu Restaurant has a discount card. If you go there, you can eat at half price."
"...I can't afford to eat at half price, so you should take it back." How could he afford the food at Xuanhu Restaurant with his little monthly money.
"Then it's free." After saying that, Yu Xi couldn't tolerate Qi Yan's refusal and hung the wooden sign on his belt.
Just as Qi Yan was about to untie it and return it to him, he was interrupted by a delicate voice.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Qi Yan?"
Qi Yan and Yu Xi looked together and saw a country woman holding a bundle in her arms and looking at Qi Yan cautiously.
Qi Yan paused and nodded: "I am."
The woman was familiar to him, she was the one who came to claim the body.
