Common cause

The cooking team was already extremely crowded, many people rushed to occupy a place and jumped in line, pushing each other very vigorously, Beard rushed in, and before he had time to greet Xu Guining and the others, he was pulled out by a big man.

The big man was missing a large part of his right ear, and he looked fierce, but the beard was not afraid of violence, and he waved his rice bowl to argue with him: "What team are you joining! Go to the queue at the back!"

Before he finished speaking, the big man flew the rice bowl in his hand, squeezed his fist and punched the bearded face. Some people gasped when they saw this, and touched their cheeks as if their teeth were sour. Some people were so excited Awowing, one by one held up the rice bowls, knocked clangs with spoons, and danced around the campfire to cheer for the fun.Hu Zi ate a pear, and quickly fell to the ground. While barely parrying the flying punches, he tried his best to crawl to the corner of the wall. The place was narrow and there was no room for the opponent to flex his muscles.

The big man wanted to kick hard, but unexpectedly, another person stabbed him obliquely, picked up a short stick and gave him a hard blow.

It's Brother Gui who's back.

Brother Gui is a tall, thin man with unusually broad shoulders. He is standing upright in the middle of the prison cell, with a yellow light covering his head, creating an image of him as a soldier descending from heaven—in fact, if you look closely, Brother Gui's hands are not short. Instead of sticks, he took the scroll as a scroll and held it in his hand as a weapon.

Brother Gui scolded in a low voice: "You want your mother to be crazy?" Then he reached out and lifted his beard from the ground, the latter was flattered, although the oops kept going, the pain all over his body was much less.

Just as Hu Zi stood firm, the guard came in through the door.

The rest of the people were very upright, quickly put down their rice bowls, with Brother Gui as the leader, and leaned against the wall in an orderly swipe. Seeing this, Xu Guining and Xiang Yuan quickly threw away their wool and joined the team facing the wall.

I only heard the guard shouting from behind, "Xiang Yuan, who is Xiang Yuan, come out." Xiang Yuan turned and walked towards the guard, who was holding the name list, and called again: "Wen Xiuping, come out Wen Xiuping."

I saw the traitor tucking his hands into his trousers and trotting out on tiptoe. He smiled charmingly, revealing two canine teeth—such an innocent smile made people face up to his crime. The reason why he was able to destroy the military marriage was That's because Wen Xiuping is young and cute, he really has the ability to be lovable.

The guard slammed the record sheet shut: "After you two finish your lunch, go to work in the yard in the afternoon, and share your wool among the others."

Xiang Yuan didn't know whether such an arrangement was good or worse, but through Xu Guining's small pair of prescription glasses, he could see the traitor's sour smile more clearly.Xiang Yuan thought, the traitor's dissatisfaction is easy to figure out, after all, in the prison cell, his and Brother Gui's jobs are shared on the heads of other people.

Before the guard left, he said to the team of Wallfacers: "Liu Guisi, as a security officer, you should pay attention to the safety management of your cell. It's the Chinese New Year, so don't make any messes."

Brother Gui turned around and promised again and again. With a smile on his lips, he looked gentle and honest, but the guard obviously did not forget his crime, so he snorted coldly and walked out of the iron gate.

Ouch is the groan of the prisoners, they twisted their waists and loosened their shoulders, picked up the rice bowl and grabbed the food again.

A bang was the sound of the electric power starting, and the two iron doors were closed again.

As soon as the guard left, brother Gui sat on the bunk like a tiger returning to the mountain, with one leg pressed under his buttocks, he took the spoon handed by the traitor, and just took a bite of the security guard's small stove, as if thinking of something , Stretching out his hand to beckon: "Beard, come here."

Hu Zi was not as tough as before, he held the steamed buns he had just snatched in front of his chest, and ran towards Brother Gui.

Brother Gui threw the book that was used as a weapon on the bunk, and said: "The discipline said, find someone to write the year-end summary. I thought, isn't there a ready-made great writer in our prison? You can take this year-end study report." Study and write the year-end summary."

Brother Gui took a bite of his food and pointed at the others with a spoon: "The year-end summary is well written, the image of the prison has improved, the guard is happy, and everyone has a better New Year. This thing is pointing at the beard. Don't provoke him, or I will You're welcome."

Huzi hurriedly picked up the study report. In his heart, this thing was now as high as the imperial decree. Not only could it show off its talents, but it might also improve his status in the food chain of the prison cell, so he took the task religiously.

Brother Gui scooped up a piece of fat meat and threw it into the traitor's rice bowl. The traitor looked very angry, and quickly ate two mouthfuls of steamed buns on the fat slice to show his political status under one person.

Xiang Yuan sat against the wall, sucked the steamed buns, took these situations into his eyes, thought to himself, in this cell, if a person is either a traitor, or is walking on the road to become a traitor, thinking of this, he sighed.Xu Guining was sitting on his right, trying to dig out meat in the rice bowl, when Xiang Yuan sighed, he asked, "What are you talking about? I don't wear glasses, so I can't hear clearly."

Xiang Yuan sighed inwardly, took off the glasses and stuffed them into Xu Guining's hands: "Go to work in the yard in the afternoon, the light outside is good, so I can basically see clearly, you should wear the glasses - don't eat them next time It’s next to the toilet, don’t you think it stinks?”

Xu Guining raised his head and said helplessly, "I can't smell it without glasses."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Yuan and the traitor walked out of the cell. At this time, the winter fog in the yard cleared, and the sun was shining brightly on the glass stubble on the wall.

A few days ago, the prisoner who was in charge of growing vegetables in the yard wanted to escape over the wall and tried to pass between the power grid and the glass stubble. Unfortunately, his belly was cut open and his intestines flowed out of the wall.In order to avoid more tragedies, the detention center decided to remove the original anti-surpassing measures, and this task fell to Xiang Yuan and the traitors.

The task is divided into three steps, first knock off the glass stubble, then smooth the glass debris with a wooden stick, and finally paste a layer of cement to finish the job.

The traitor looked up at the wall, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Yes, you go up and knock on it first, and I'll do it tomorrow when the glass is being ground, and the two of us will paste half of the cement, so no one will lose, right?"

Xiang Yuan didn't think about whether he would suffer or not at all. He felt that working in the detention center was fussy, like a person who had his lower limbs amputated but wanted to keep his toes as meaningless.

Xiang Yuan quickly climbed up the step ladder, his clean bald head swayed on the courtyard wall, reflecting the sunlight together with the broken glass.He was very cautious, holding a tool and carefully shuttled between the glass stubble and the power grid, ensuring that while breaking the glass, his limbs would not touch the power grid, and the glass slag would fall into the yard to facilitate subsequent cleaning work.

Xiang Yuan worked meticulously and quickly. At dusk, the wall had already been knocked on, but he was still standing high on the wall, waving his arms and pretending to be working. In fact, his eyes were passing through the power grid, and then over the seven-meter-long outer wall. Looking towards the road, along the southern suburbs and looking back to the urban area of ​​Haimen.Looking around, the world is gloomy, with overgrown weeds on both sides of the road, and an unrecognizable billboard standing in the distance between the sky and the earth, which probably says something like "Welcome to Haimen".

Looking back at Xiang Yuan, the traitor was sitting between the cement bucket and wooden sticks, with his sleeves folded, and he fell asleep with his mouth open.

They were like this, one was on top and the other was on the bottom, so no one noticed that the safety rope in the middle of the ladder was in danger and broke in the next instant.

Xiang Yuan landed fiercely by standing with his legs apart, but fortunately, his subconscious mind to protect his reproductive organs woke up in time, allowing him to stick to the ground on his calf and shin, avoiding the tragedy of chicken flying eggs.The traitor was awakened by the sound of bone cracking, and shouted in fright: "Discipline! Discipline, save lives!"

The guard came after hearing the sound and sent Xiang Yuan to the infirmary. The doctor diagnosed it as a burst fracture of the distal tibia.

It was five hours after Xiang Yuan was carried back to the prison cell on a stretcher. At this time, Brother Gui had just picked up his beard and completed the "2016 Haimen Nanjiao Detention Center Year-End Report".

Brother Gui stepped on the common bunk with one elbow resting on his knees, and held the report in front of his eyes. He had just read a title when he saw Xiang Yuan being carried into the room straight. He sneered and teased, "Hmph, little Glasses, you really don't give me peace of mind."

Xu Guining's eyes were sore from knitting a sweater, and when he raised his glasses to wipe his tears, he saw Xiang Yuan, and hurriedly brought in the stretcher with Hu Zi.

Xiang Yuan was carried onto the bunk, he could hear the laughter around him, but he couldn't use his strength, he could only see a patch of cement above his head, and Xu Guining's anxious face occasionally appeared in his vision, which was considered a form of comfort.

Brother Gui raised his voice, like reciting a poem: "[-] has passed, and I——I lie in the summer to listen to the rain, and sit in the winter to watch the wind... There is a voice in my heart, somewhere, dimly, saying...Only what I know It's... my redemption—"

Brother Gui rested his chin on one hand, and twisted his beard, a bit like the word "Yin'an", meaning to twist off the stems and whiskers, he was silent for a while, then suddenly shouted, and threw the report on the beard: "Fuck you! Writing this after a busy afternoon?! Didn’t you know that poetry is not allowed in the college entrance examination!”

The traitor regained his energy, grabbed Huzi's big beard and pulled him to the ground, kicked him with flying feet, but Brother Gui didn't stop him. Looking at the good show, it seems like a smile but not a smile.

The people in the dormitory are toilet paper, if Brother Gui wants to wipe his butt, toilet paper is a treasure, and when it is used up, the toilet paper will be mixed with shit—Xu Guining can feel the smell.

Brother Gui glanced around the cell, and when he saw Xiang Yuan, he seemed to think of something: "Little Glasses, I remember—"

Xiang Yuan's heart tightened, he couldn't figure out the details of Brother Gui, the other party had never revealed his identity as a policeman, and he wondered if he was planning to smother his throat with a sword one day.

Brother Gui said again: "I remember you can still write two characters, don't your colleagues ask you to write?" He took out the book, "It happens that you are also lame and can't go to work in the yard. Now, just write here, write well, the image of our prison depends on you."

Xu Guining helped Xiang Yuan turn over, and helped to take the study report. Xiang Yuan opened it on his stomach, thinking that this is the same as the police application essay, so he readily agreed: "Okay."

At the same time, Huzi was beaten and chased by the traitor with his slippers, until he reached the toilet, where he was kicked back by the big man with missing ears who had just finished urinating.Everyone found your brother's expression very interesting, so several backbones under the traitor's command also joined the chasing team. They had beards and buns, and their faces were red, swollen and deformed, and they ran wildly while begging for mercy. like.

Amidst the laughter that can be enjoyed tonight, the disillusioned illusions, the collision of the weak and the strong, the trapped status quo, and the flickering of the superiors are all unavoidably entangled in the mere few square meters of the prison.

Xu Guining leaned against Xiang Yuan's feet, holding a pile of yarn balls and trying to knit a few more stitches, while Xiang Yuan endured the severe pain to read the study report, occasionally trying to look at his immobile legs, he thought, shouldn't Comparing entering the detention center to amputation of lower limbs is really a prophecy.He watched the chasing scene in the room like a drama, and suddenly felt sad, mainly for himself, and a little bit for Xu Guining.

In the emotional upheaval, Xiang Yuan smoothed the letter paper and wrote a few words, 2016 year-end report of Haimen Nanjiao Detention Center.
