There was still the sound of rumbling water in the distance, but the expressions of the two prison guards on duty were no longer tense. Presumably, the back mountain should have been opened up and the water drawn out.

Lu Rankong gave another random explanation, and the two went back to the prison.Along the way, there were prisoners returning to the cell one after another, in groups of twos and threes, and there were no prison guards to supervise them.

Before reaching the back mountain, I heard the roar of water and machines from afar. When I got close, I found that in this short period of time, there was an additional canal in the flooded place, which extended for nearly [-] meters and passed through the back mountain. The gap created by the explosion flowed out of the mountain.

There were people busy everywhere, prisoners and guards alike, the warden standing on a bench directing with a megaphone.

Lu Rankong stepped forward, and the two exchanged a few words in a low voice.After he turned around, the warden stood there holding a loudspeaker for a while, and continued to command in an orderly manner.

"Did you tell Officer Wang about it?" Lan Yu asked.

Lu Rankong nodded, "He will send someone to bring back Police Officer Wang's body later. He will handle the funeral properly and notify the military department immediately."

Seeing Lan Yu bowed his head and said nothing, he asked again: "Shall we still live in the prison tonight?"

Lan Yu knew that there was no need for the two of them to pretend to be prisoners and they could go to the new residence, but she still said, "Let's live in the prison..."

The two walked towards the cell, the night breeze was blowing coolly, Lan Yu had been running, her whole body was hot, the wind felt very comfortable, and her pace slowed down.

There are prisoners coming and going, returning to the cell, strolling around, and talking under the ginkgo tree... Anyway, everyone is busy, and if they can't help, just don't make trouble.

Dim lights cast in the distance, he let his mind go blank and didn't think about anything, just followed the footsteps of the people around him and walked slowly.

The two shadows landed on the ground, side by side. Although they didn't say anything, it made him feel calm and relaxed.

Back in the cell, Lan Yu found that everyone was there, and when they saw them enter the door, they sat up straight from their respective beds.

"They're all here, didn't you stay behind to help?" Lu Rankong walked to the bathroom to wash his hands, asking casually as he walked.Lan Yu opened the cabinet to get the toiletries, and was about to take a shower.

There was silence in the room, no one answered, and no one made other noises.

Lan Yu noticed the abnormal atmosphere and looked at them from the cabinet door. Lu Rankong also stopped and turned back slowly.

"Brother Qiao, Brother Bao." After a while of silence, it was still Liu Junjie who spoke first.

However, his voice was dry, with a bit of cramped and deliberate ease.

Lan Yu saw Qiao Fei and Lin Lin bowed their heads without saying a word, and Wang Jin and Qiu Dao peeked at them from time to time.Only Chen Zheng still looked the same, half leaning against the head of the bed in a daze, immersed in his own world.

He put down the basin in his hand and straightened up, and exchanged glances with Lu Rankong.

"We're all in the same cell. If you have something to say, don't hide it. Brother Bao is not that kind of stingy person. As long as it's not a big problem, he won't mind." Lu Rankong said.

Liu Junjie hesitated to speak, but closed his mouth again, but Qiao Fei asked in a daze, "Brother Bao, Brother Qiao, who are you two?"

Lan Yu knew that they had seen the communication between Lu Rankong and the warden, and had doubts about their identities.

The room was silent again, no one spoke, Lu Rankong laughed, and said in a relaxed tone: "Brother Bao and Brother Qiao are indeed not criminals, they are here because of other things."

Several people's eyes lit up, and Liu Junjie asked: "Agent? Spy? Spy?"

"Come to the prison unannounced as an inspector?" Qiao Fei answered eagerly.

Lin Lin asked: "Detective Interstellar Chadara?"

Qiao Fei patted his head, "Have you watched too many fucking movies?"

Lu Rankong said: "Don't ask for details, anyway, Brother Bao and Brother Qiao will not harm you."

"That's for sure, it's just...just..." Liu Junjie sat on his upper bunk and scratched his head.

"Just what? Just say what you have to say, and be refreshed."

Qiao Fei said embarrassingly: "I just think you are not prisoners, it seems weird, look, we are all prisoners..."

Lan Yu put the basin containing the toiletries on the ground, went to Lu Rankong's empty lower berth and sat down.

"Brother Qiao, come and sit here, come and sit here, there is nothing on Brother Bao's bed, but mine is soft." Qiao Fei said, patting his own bunk.

"No, I'm dirty, just sit here."

Lu Rankong also walked over slowly, as if casually said: "Liu Junjie, he came in for someone else's crime, the youngest son of the richest man in the universe, he has served two years of his six-year sentence, how much did he give you?"

Liu Junjie was still lying on the upper bunk looking down, with a smile on his face, but after hearing this sentence, the smile froze on his face.

Lu Rankong sat down beside Lan Yu and asked, "How much debt do you owe from gambling, and you still need to be blamed?"

Everyone looked at Liu Junjie, except Lan Yu who was looking down at her nails.

"Brother Leopard, I..." Liu Junjie said hoarsely.

"If you go out, will you still gamble?"

Lu Rankong asked lightly.

Liu Junjie lowered his head, his eye circles were red when he raised his head again.

He wiped his face and said: "When I get out after serving my sentence, I swear that I will never gamble, live a good life, and stay with my parents."

Lu Rankong said again: "Qiao Fei, Lin Lin, one of you was coaxed into making fake banknote templates, and the other was tricked by the boss who absconded with the money. In fact, the main blame is not on you, but on your behalf. .”

After a moment of silence, Qiao Fei started to sob, and Lin Lin also took off his glasses to wipe the fog off them.

Lan Yu didn't know when Lu Rankong found out the details of these people. After all, the information given to them by the military department was not very complete. Unexpectedly, he seemed careless, but he was actually very careful in doing things.

Lu Rankong looked at Wang Jin and Qiu Dao again, smiled, and said, "Brother Wang, Brother Qiu, I admire you two very much."

"What do you admire us for?" Qiu Dao and Wang Jin both sat on the lower bunk and looked at each other blankly.

"You two were adopted by interstellar bandit leaders since you were young. Although you couldn't help yourself and did some wrong things, they were not serious. As far as I know, you two secretly donated your usual money to welfare agencies, so I admire you .” Lu Rankong said.

Qiu Dao twitched in a rare way, and Wang Jin also showed embarrassment, "Because we are both orphans, I just want those children not to be like us, so...it's not a big deal."

Lan Yu looked at the two and couldn't help but smile.

He is an orphan himself. After he started making movies to make money, he would donate a lot of money to the orphanage every year. When he was resting, he would buy a lot of things to see those children. I got a lot closer.

The room became quiet again, except for Qiao Fei's sobbing from time to time.

"My little sister who was dependent on each other was pushed down the stairs when she was struggling. When I arrived from the concert, she was already lying in the cold morgue." A cold voice suddenly broke the silence.

Everyone was startled, looking at Chen Zheng's bed.

Chen Zheng has sat up, his face is no longer the usual indifferent expression, full of sadness and despair.

Maybe it was because he had been suppressed for too long and no one spoke out, his voice was trembling: "Even if the evidence is solid, what's the use? He is too powerful, and he wiped out all the evidence. I am a small piano. Master, I can only stab him at a banquet, taking advantage of the opportunity just after the performance..."

"Stabbed to death? This kind of person should be stabbed to death." Wang Jin said through gritted teeth.

Chen Zheng smiled miserably, and said, "If you stab him to death, I won't just be locked up here to serve ten years in prison."

At night, Lan Yu lay sideways on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, staring at the very nearby wall with her eyes open.Lu Rankong behind him faced him, breathing lightly.

The dormitory was quiet, and there were no snoring or teeth grinding sounds like usual. Obviously, they were all touched tonight, and collectively suffered from insomnia.

"Can't sleep?" Lu Rankong whispered behind him very softly, as if he couldn't hear it, and could only feel the air blowing on the pinnae.

Lan Yu nodded imperceptibly.

"Let's think about it until tomorrow, even if it can't be solved, there is Brother Bao." Lu Rankong said softly.

"Do you want brother Bao to pat you to sleep?" He asked again.

"No, I'm not a child." Lan Yu closed her eyes, not realizing that her voice was soft, a bit like she was acting like a baby.

Lu Rankong seemed to chuckle lightly.

Qiao Fei, who was in the opposite bunk, turned over and sniffled, obviously crying silently just now.

There was also a faint sigh from where Wang Jin was, and Qiu Dao asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, is it cold?"

"You know what a fart, go to sleep." Wang Jin said.

"I can't sleep when you're awake."

"Then you mean it's my fault that you can't sleep?"

"Why are you unreasonable?"

"It's not that I was unreasonable on the first day, do you dislike it?"

The iron bed creaked, and the two fought again.

Qiao Fei interjected with a strong nasal voice: "You two don't fight tonight, okay? Let's have a peaceful night."

The two of them immediately stopped and stopped.

"The moon is curved, shining on the sea, and the lights are on, it's the fisherman's return boat..." A low voice sounded, and Lu Rankong hummed a song.

This is a nursery rhyme, Lan Yu has heard him sing it before.

The last time I dealt with the Longte Stars on the bus, the military department sent a car to pick them up. When driving off-road in the desert, he also hummed this song.

His voice is deep and mellow, with a little rustling, very magnetic.Lan Yu's back was against his chest, and she could feel a slight tremor there.

Lan Yu moved her lips lightly, and sang along silently: "The moon is curved, shining on the beach, the stars are shining, they are your eyes..."

Qiao Fei's sobbing stopped from time to time, and the others didn't sigh anymore, and they all lay quietly on the bed.

It was late at night, and the light from outside spilled in through the windows, coating the room with a layer of hoarfrost.The entire prison was silent, except for the faint roar of excavators coming from the foot of the back hill.

After a while, Lu Rankong slowly stopped humming, and looked at Lan Yu's face with his head.Seeing that he was breathing heavily and already sound asleep, he smiled silently, lay down and closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, instead of hearing the whistle at dawn as usual, it was almost past eight o'clock before the prison guards shouted at the door of each cell: "Wake up, everyone is up, don't sleep anymore, get up and get up! .”

The people behind moved, and Lan Yu woke up, but surrounded by the warm feeling, she continued to close her eyes, pretending not to wake up.

The voices of other prisoners in the cell came in.

"Wolf—sir, is it mining today or something?"

The prison guard said: "No mining or work today, everyone rests after breakfast."

Cheers erupted from each cell, and some people were excitedly knocking on the iron bars.

"Sir, why did you wake us up today? Where are Officer Wang and Officer Liu?" Someone asked curiously.

Except for Lan Yu and Lu Rankong, no other prisoners knew about Officer Wang and Officer Liu.

The prison guard was silent for a moment and said, "The two of them are sick."

"Why are you sick? You were fine yesterday afternoon."

The prison guard lowered his voice: "What's none of your business? Don't ask if you shouldn't."

"I bah... wolf dog..." Some prisoners began to curse again.

"Sir, what happened to the back mountain and water?"

Speaking of this, the prison guard's serious face softened a little, and he said, "You guys performed very well yesterday. The warden gave you seven days of rest in a row, and each meal also had an extra chicken leg. We must report this matter, and everyone They will all be rewarded accordingly.”

Although his reward was not stated clearly, it is most likely related to the commutation of sentence.The prisoners started cheering again, and they stopped shouting wolfdogs, and only courteously spoke one officer at a time.

It was so noisy outside, Lan Yu couldn't continue pretending to be asleep, so she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

"Are you awake?" Lu Rankong's voice was sober, apparently he had been awake for a long time.

Lan Yu nodded.

"Get up and wash up, I guess we'll be leaving soon." He whispered.

Lan Yu was about to ask where he was going, but realized that he was talking about leaving Qu Ya Xing, so she closed her mouth.

The automatic door opening system was activated, and the doors of each cell opened with a clang sound at the same time.

Everyone in Cell No. 11 also got up, washed in turn, and then went to the cafeteria.

Lan Yu and Lu Rankong did not sit alone at the table this morning, but sat with several other people in the cell, eating breakfast in silence.

"Brother Leopard, Brother Qiao, are you going to leave today?" Qiao Fei asked with his head down, stirring the porridge in the bowl with a spoon.

As soon as Lu Rankong opened his mouth, there was a huge roar outside, covering his voice.

All the prisoners looked at the sky from the windows, and Lan Yu was no exception.In the blue sky, a starship was slowly landing.

"It's not an ordinary transport ship, it's a warship of the military." Some prisoners recognized it and started whispering.

"This is an accident in the prison, and the higher-ups came to check?"

"It is estimated that this year's Interstellar Star Prison will be ruined, and the warden will die of anger."

Several people kept looking at the starship until it completely disappeared from their field of vision before turning their heads back.

"That starship is here to pick you up." Qiao Fei asked again.

Being watched by several pairs of eyes, Lan Yu said calmly: "Yes..."

A few people stopped talking and lowered their heads to eat. The quietness of this table was in stark contrast to the excited noise of other tables.

After eating, they went out of the cafeteria together in a tacit understanding, and stopped at the bifurcation leading to the back mountain and the prison.

There stood two soldiers in military uniforms. When they saw Lan Yu and Lu Rankong, they stopped and saluted.

Liu Junjie scratched his head and showed his usual smile: "Brother Bao, Brother Qiao, are they here to pick you up?"

Lu Rankong hummed.

Several people hugged each other silently. When Chen Zheng finally stepped forward to hug Lu Rankong, he suddenly whispered in his ear: "Actually, I knew you were not a prisoner the first day you came here."

Lu Rankong was startled.

"Because I saw you at the Valen banquet." Chen Zheng said again.

The two patted each other's shoulders and separated.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Lu Rankong mouthed to him: "Thank you..."

On the spacious playground, Lan Yu and Lu Rankong walked out behind the two non-commissioned officers.The ginkgo tree was still full of prisoners. Seeing this scene, they all stood up in amazement.

"Where did the wild dog come from? Where are you taking Boss and Brother Qiao?" Someone began to shout angrily.

The smart one quickly interrupted: "Can't you fucking see that those two wild dogs respect Brother Qiao and Brother Bao? Shout out..."

"They must have saved us yesterday. The military department wants to commute their sentence and send them to a better prison first."

"Yes, yes, you are smart, that must be the case."

"Boss, Brother Bao, Brother Qiao, take care!"

Lan Yu only looked at the road in front of him, but Lu Rankong waved at them like a hero traveling with glory.The prisoners began to cheer and applaud, causing the two non-commissioned officers to look back frequently, not knowing what happened.

After passing the playground, there is a row of houses on the left, and then there is the prison medical clinic.

Lan Yu stared there, and gradually slowed down.

"Go and have a look, and say hello." Lu Rankong knew what he was thinking.

Lan Yu nodded and said, "Okay..."

The medical clinic is a small separate building, very quiet. The first and second floors are consulting rooms, where prison guards accompany prisoners to see a doctor, and the third and fourth floors are wards.

The two of them took the warden's access card and quickly arrived at Officer Liu's ward on the fourth floor.Lan Yu walked to his hospital bed and stood still, while Lu Rankong was standing at the door.

The room is very quiet, only the beeping sound of medical equipment can be heard.

Officer Liu was lying motionless on the hospital bed. Although his face was not good-looking, it had recovered some blood.The thin quilt was placed on the body, and the chest rose and fell gently.

"We are leaving, and we probably will never come back again, so I come to say goodbye to you." Lan Yu said.

A medical officer walked to the door and said softly, "The patient is still in a coma and needs more rest. Please hurry up."

Lan Yu didn't turn her head, but heard Lu Rankong responding softly, promising to leave in a while.

After the medical officer left, Lan Yu went on to say: "The Longte Starman in the prison is dead, you can rest assured. When your body recovers, you have to cheer up and live a good life to fulfill your agreement with Xu. You can represent He went to the sea of ​​Xaya Star and tasted the wine he hadn’t drunk before. Your eyes are his eyes, and he can feel everything you see.”

Officer Liu didn't open his eyes, but moved his fingers that were outside the quilt.

"Live well, and Xu will always be in your heart." After Lan Yu said this, she stood silently for half a minute, then turned and walked out.

Lu Rankong was standing at the door all the time, but he didn't move away when Lan Yu came over, and only looked at him with a strange, unclear look in his eyes.

It wasn't until Lan Yu looked up in confusion that he hastily turned his gaze away and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me?"

Lan Yu didn't say anything, just nodded.

"Then let's go..." Lu Rankong walked towards the stairs.

When they arrived at the gate of the prison, the prison guards on duty urged them earnestly when several people stepped out of the gate: "Although you two have made great achievements and are transferred to other prisons, you should not be complacent and relax in reform. Strive for better performance, get a reduced sentence and get out of prison as soon as possible." .”

Lu Rankong didn't explain, and responded with a smile: "Thank you, officer, we will definitely reform."

Out of the prison, to the landing pad, and then board the battleship.As soon as Lan Yu stepped into the cabin, she saw a female alpha officer in a skirt uniform.

It was Lu Rankong's cousin, Jiang Zhi, the deputy chief of staff of the Third Army who assigned them the mission.

"Congratulations to Colonel K and Colonel Lu for successfully completing the task." Jiang Zhi quickly looked around Lu Rankong, and then stretched out his hand to Lan Yu, "Colonel K, you have worked hard."
