Human Shackles

In less than ten seconds, Luo Kai had resolved everything, and then looked hopingly at the fierce jailer outside the iron gate. Sometimes the jailer would be kind and give an extra bowl of gruel, but today the jailer is obviously in a bad mood, facing him. He spat a thick sputum at him, scolded him and left with his rice bucket.

Luo Kai wiped the thick phlegm on his forehead expressionlessly, sat back again, closed his eyes Shen Shen, and worked hard to return to his sleep, not only was the life in his sleep too beautiful, but every time After dreaming, he will feel that his groggy head has become clearer, and his resistance to hunger has also strengthened a lot.

　　 "Squeak."

Just when he seemed to be asleep, there was a weak rat cry beside him, Luo Kai did not open his eyes, he had already blocked the rat hole, and the bars of his cell were nearly two meters high. , The smooth granite wall is impossible for a mouse to climb up.

This big mouse has been here for three days. It will gradually become as weak as him, and finally become the delicacy in his stomach. After a trance, Luo Kai has returned to his dream, and his mother is preparing to make his favorite food. Chicken, but the old-fashioned peasant stove has been unable to make a fire, so he hurried around in front of the pot...

"Rumble!" The ear-piercing thunder sounded, and the cold wind wrapped in cold rain blew in from the iron window. Luo Kai, a jealous spirit, woke up, hurriedly stood up, slapped his feet high and put his mouth to the window. , Soon accumulated a large mouthful of water, and the cold rain water turned into a warm current to moisturize his body after it entered his stomach.

　　 He drank the rain greedily until his stomach couldn't hold it. This kind of heavy rain was so rare that he had only encountered it three times during the nearly one year.

　　 After drinking, Luo happily changed a position that the rain could not scrape and prepared to go to sleep. At this time, the mouse poked his head out and walked carefully to the rain-drenched place, gently licking the wet ground.

When he saw Luo Kai looking at it, the mouse did not run away as before, but stood tremblingly on the spot. Through the dim light from the iron windows, you can see its small mung bean-like eyes. With a trace of fear and pleading.

It’s hard to imagine that the mouse’s eyes can express emotions. Luo Xindi suddenly had an inexplicable touch, struggling to get up and reopen the mouse hole that was sealed with rocks by him, and then slowly retreated. go back.

　　 The mouse rushed into the mouse hole hurriedly. After a while, he stuck his head out and squeaked towards Luo Kai twice before disappearing.

　　 Luo smiled bitterly to himself. He didn't know how long he could live, but he still had leisure and kindness. He stepped forward to cover the rat hole, then went back to the corner and curled up to fall asleep again.

The deadly and desperate days seem to be endless. After more than a dozen days and nights, Luo Kai feels that he is getting weaker and weaker and even difficult to urinate. Through the reflection of the yellow urine in the urine bucket, there is a skinny corpse in front of him. The figure of Wang, long periods of inactivity has caused his muscles to shrink, and severe malnutrition has also caused some of his organs to fail, and he has not many days!

　　 Late this night, Luo Kai woke up on time. Although his sleep can escape reality, it cannot relieve his physical weakness. He wanted to continue working, but he could no longer drag his tired body...

Luo Kai stared blankly at the bleak moonlight falling outside the bars. He was originally a professor at a university, and later moved to the business world. He was overwhelmed all the way and finally became an executive of a large company in the unconquerable years. A successful person, but behind these four words, he has paid too much, ideals, marriage, family, and even the bottom line of human nature... Past and present lives passed through his mind like a cloud of eyes, and he responded to the old saying: "The world is one thing. A big dream, a few cool days in life.

He sighed inwardly. He should have died when the plane crashed. It doesn’t make much sense to live for so long. Death may be the best relief for him. Rather than starve to death, it’s better to kill yourself. .

　　 Slowly took out the iron cone from his armpit. This iron cone made him discover when he was digging the tunnel. It had been sharpened these days, and he took a deep breath and pointed it at his chest...

　　 "Squeak...squeak!"

　　 At this moment, there was a weak rat cry from the floor underneath. The sound was inconsistent and intermittent.

　　 Luo opened the iron cone in his hand and looked around blankly. Hunger made his thinking slow. After a long time, he remembered something. He moved his body hard to lift the stone slab covering the mouse hole again.

　　 The fat big mouse is here again. In the past ten days, it has grown a little bigger, and its gray fur reflects a satin-like luster in the moonlight.

　　 Luo opened his throat and shook, and couldn't help swallowing.

　　 The mouse looked around, and when he saw Luo Kai, he squeaked slightly at him, and then retracted back into the mouse hole. When he came out again, there was already a small salted fish in his mouth.

　　 Just like that, the mice kept coming in and out, and soon Luo Kai was filled with various foods. There were small pieces of bread, naan, bacon, and smoked fish.

　　 After finishing the work, the big mouse sat on the ground humanely, and panted with his tongue out.

　　 The food in front of him made people dizzy. Luo Kai rubbed his eyes, and then pinched his waist fiercely. The inconspicuous pain proved that he was not dreaming.

　　 The mouse gently pushed the food in front of Luo Kai with his head, and squeaked twice, as if to say eat it quickly.

　　 There is nothing more important than food for a person who is about to starve to death. Luo Kai tremblingly picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth. The satisfaction from his taste buds told him that this was really not a dream.

　　 When the food entered the stomach, the stomach acid reaction was immediately aroused. A warm current rose from the stomach and quickly spread to all parts of the body. The body seemed to belong to him again.

　　 It was too quiet late at night, he didn't dare to make too much noise, he didn't even dare to chew, no matter what food he swallowed directly into his stomach.

　　 The days seem to be getting better. The mice will bring some food every few days, although not many, they pull Luo Kai back from the brink of starvation.

This young body is stronger than his previous body that was hollowed out by alcohol. His weak body quickly recovered, and his hazy head became sober. With the strength, the efficiency of tunnel excavation instantly increased countless times. In a few days, it excavated more than ten meters until it was blocked by a granite foundation.

　　 The granite foundation is very long and deep, it is not his ability to break open, and the soil here is soft, if you change the route, the short distance or the long distance is in danger of collapsing at any time.

　　 It took more than 100 days and nights to excavate this tunnel. Now all the efforts seem to be useless. Fate is always so impermanent, and the hope that was originally born is once again shattered.
