The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: Chapter 173, A Stroke of Good Fortune_1

In the dim, damp prison, several villagers from Panshan Village, including Qin Wu, lay in despair, waiting for fate to decide their lot.

“Brother Wu, do you think we can still go home?” A young man in his twenties asked, his eyes lifeless as he lay on the cold ground, blankly staring at the small window on the prison wall.

Qin Wu’s face was stern, his lips pursed; he didn’t speak.

The young man suddenly laughed foolishly: “Yu Niang is still waiting at home for me to return. I wonder if she’s gotten used to living with us since she just married into our family?”

At those words, a guilty conscience appeared on Qin Wu’s face.

“Stop talking, Thirteen!”

Someone spoke up to stop him. The more Qin Thirteen said, the more they all suffered, the more they longed to return home.

After a while, a slightly older and larger man moved next to Qin Wu: “Old Wu, do you think Xiaoliu can come up with a way to save us?”

Upon hearing this, everyone in the cell looked up in unison, their eyes filled with hope.

Even Qin Thirteen, who had been lying on the ground, sat up: “Xiaoliu is so clever; he must be able to save us, right?”

Looking into each pair of hopeful eyes, Qin Wu struggled to shake his head, his voice hoarse as he said, “What can he do? Here in this city, we are strangers without any connections; we don’t even have someone to ask for help.”

Instantly, the light in everyone’s eyes dimmed.

“Are we truly going to be exiled, never to see our families again?”

Someone collapsed, burying their head between their knees, starting to cry quietly.

Listening to the suppressed sobs in the prison, Qin Wu felt as if his heart were being thrown into a frying pan, the pain made it hard for him to breathe.

Just then, the Government Official arrived.

“Get up, get up, hurry up and stand!”

Seeing the Government Official opening the prison door, Qin Wu and the others had varied expressions.

“Sir, didn’t you say you would give us a few more days? Why are you exiling us now?”

Although everyone knew in their hearts that Xiaoliu couldn’t have come up with any plan, they still held onto a sliver of hope.

Hoping for mercy from the heavens, praying for their ancestors’ blessings.

The Government Official watched Qin Wu and the others panic and said without emotion, “Exile? Who said anything about exiling you? Come on, follow me, don’t hog the cell any longer; it’s been rather crowded these past few days.”

At his words, Qin Wu and the others were dumbfounded.

If not for exile, then why were they being released?

Having a lot of experience outside, Qin Wu was the first to come to his senses, quickly bowing and scraping as he asked the Government Official, “Sir, what exactly is going on?”

Seeing Qin Wu’s good attitude, the Government Official smiled and said, “You lot, you’ve struck dumb luck. That brother of yours, Xiaoliu, isn’t it? Somehow, he managed to bring the children of the Prefectural Governor of Xingzhou to speak on your behalf, and they’re discussing the terms of your release now.”

At this, Qin Wu and the others were completely flabbergasted.

When had Xiaoliu become so capable?

Seeing their dumbfounded looks, the Government Official shook his head: “Alright, don’t waste any more time; just follow me.”

Qin Wu snapped back to reality and quickly called his companions to follow.

Soon, the group saw Xiaoliu, along with Daohua and others, in the main hall.

“Brother Wu!”

Seeing Qin Wu and the others, Xiaoliu rushed over, inspecting everyone through tears and laughter.

Qin Wu looked at Daohua and the others. He didn’t recognize Daohua and wanted to ask Xiaoliu what was going on but felt it wasn’t the right time to speak, so he stood silently with his head bowed.

Daohua noticed the injuries on Qin Wu and the others, furrowing her brow as she turned to the Government Official, “Did you subject them to punishment?”

The Government Official immediately shook his head, “It wasn’t us who hit them; they got hurt fighting with the bandits over their goods.”
