Human Shackles

　　 In the middle of the night, everything was silent. Luo Kai tried hard to open his eyelids that seemed to be filled with lead, and struggled to sit up. The prolonged hunger made his body seem to be no longer his own. A slight movement is extremely difficult.

There was a commotion in the dark and suppressed space. It was a huge mouse. Luo Kai wanted to catch it, but he was powerless. His only way was to hold the mouse hole to prevent the mouse from escaping, and compete with the mouse for who lived. longer.

The cold rock wall behind 　　 caused Luo Kai to shiver involuntarily and dispelled his sleepiness. He had to work.

After groping to find the mouse hole under the buttocks, he exhausted all his strength to lift a stone slab on it. He had dug the mouse hole to the size of a person, and he carefully slid down and covered the stone slab again. He tried not to make any noise. Because he is breaking out!

In the dark and humid tunnel, Luo Kai's eyes lit up with a little green light, and the surrounding environment gradually became clear. This is the night vision ability evolved from being in the dark for a long time. After a weak breath, he took out a blanket from his elbow. The polished awl began to dig the dirt carefully.

Digging a hole to escape from prison, this kind of scene that was only seen in the movie happened to him, and he knew the difficulty when he was on the scene. The key is that his current body has been tortured by hunger. Things squeezed his few physical strengths, but if he didn’t do that, he would painfully want to commit suicide every time he woke up in the dead of night...

　　 Luo Kai didn't know which prison this was, or why he was locked up here. He only knew that he was still alive, surviving a passenger plane that crashed at an altitude of 10,000 meters.

But sometimes life is more painful than death. This is a 30-year-old stone chamber, strictly speaking a prison cell. He has not eaten a full meal for more than 300 days and nights. Every day there will be a five-year-old man. The jailer threw a musty wotou and fishy seaweed ball to each prisoner here, and then writhed his fat buttocks in unintelligible language and left.

　　 At the beginning, Luo Kai tried to communicate with the jailer, but the result was an incomprehensible curse and no food or water for three days.

　　 More terrible than hunger is the unspeakable loneliness. No one communicates here, no one talks, because everyone, like him, has been struggling between death and immortality, and has no energy to do anything, including talking.

The fear and impatience at the beginning gradually became numb. He once saw a mouse that accidentally broke in. After being trapped here for a period of time, it gnawed at the hard granite wall, and the sharp claws and fangs were worn away. , The mouse clearly knows that this is suicide, but if there is a soul in life, it may be possible for the soul to pass through the cage that imprisoned life after death.

　　 Luo Kai sometimes thinks that it is a miracle that he can survive, maybe he is no longer a "human"!

　　 There are already some water droplets infiltrating the soil wall in the dark and humid underground. Luo Kai leaned forward and sucked greedily. The sweet water droplets nourished his dry body and soul, and restored some strength to his body.

　　 He carefully scraped the dirt in the tunnel with an awl, and then packed the dirt into his only intact rag pocket. The jailer would round the ward every day. Once he saw moist dirt, it was done.

The jailers here have no humanity at all. Their favorite thing is to torture the prisoners. Whenever a new prisoner arrives, there will be several days of painful wailing outside the iron gate, and every once in a while there will be a jailer dragging a prisoner. The shriveled corpse left. He did not see a prisoner being released. There is no doubt that this is a death row. He may become one of them in the near future.

Luo Kai has been digging here for more than 100 nights, but only digging five or six meters. He is too weak. Panic and hunger have been consuming his will and body. He does not know where the tunnel leads, and I don't know how long I can hold on, but I still struggle to dig down late every night. Maybe the suicidal mouse touched him, or it may be humanity's yearning for freedom, and more likely it is to find hope for myself.

So far, he has not figured out what place it is, nor has he figured out whether he is "self". Judging from the dark complexion of the jailer and the salty damp sea breeze from outside the iron window, it looks like somewhere along the coast, but the jailer’s The accent is not in any language he has heard.

What puzzled him most was his body. The arms and legs of this body were obviously much slender, and the original big belly disappeared. One time, with the help of the reflection of urine, he realized that the face of this body was similar to that of his just entering high school. It was very similar when it was, and there is a crescent-shaped birthmark on the abdomen.

Strictly speaking, this body is not what he is now, but it is like him when he was sixteen or seventeen years old. It may be a legendary journey through another world, or it may be a return to the past, but it doesn’t make any sense now, because he every day All hovering on the edge of death.

　　...

　　 When dawn was approaching, Luo Kai carefully lifted the slate and slowly climbed up. In the dark, a pair of green bean-like eyes were staring at him in the corner of the thatch. It was the big mouse.

Luo Kai bared his teeth slightly towards it, UU reading www.uukanshu.com with a cruel and bloodthirsty taste, for a person who has been hungry for a long time, any living creature can be used as food, but he has no ability now. Catch quick mice, even in this small cell.

　　 Prolonged hunger and lack of sunlight have caused him severe malnutrition and osteoporosis, and he can't make any sharp movements at all.

Cover the slate again, then slowly crush the large chunks of soil in the pocket, stand up carefully while supporting the wall, and scatter the soil a little bit through a head-sized iron window. The cold sea breeze outside the window seems to be going to Freeze his arm.

　　 After all this, he was already sweating, despite the freezing cold in the cell.

　　 Luo Kai tiredly gathered the thatch and the hardened bedding at his feet, and fell asleep deeply.

　　 Sleeping in the painful days seems to be the best relief. He started to dream again. In the dream he has a harmonious family, his father is majestic, his mother is kind, and there is a sister who is a little bit fierce but very good to him. Life is simple and happy...

"Bang ... bang." A violent kick the door awakened by the sound of him, Lo Hoi opened his sleepy eyes misty eyes.

　　 The jailer's big face with a scare scar was looked at him from a small hole in the iron gate, and there was a trace of doubt in his cold eyes, it seemed strange that Luo Kai was still alive.

　　 Immediately a curse rang out, and Luo Kai already knew the meaning of this curse these days: "Get out and eat!"

He struggled to climb to the iron gate. Today’s food is the same as usual, a piece of moldy wotou the size of a baby’s fist, a piece of salty sea vegetables, and a bowl of gruel that can count the grains of rice. This is the food for every prisoner for a day. It’s a blessing to eat this thing every day and not be starved to death.
