Seventy-second bowl of soup (3)
Compared to the man's gobbling, Qing Huan drank a bowl of porridge into red wine. The mixed zone belongs to the three-regardless zone, no matter which aspect the conditions are very simple, anyone who calls here is all abandoned. Most people in country A are rich, but the prison in the mixed area is full of all the crimes and filth in the world. There has never been any light here, and slowly, those who stay here have learned not to look forward to it.
Now that you are here, you have to give up all hope, and you will be in the mud from now on. Let go of everything, forget everything, and have no hope, so that you can be satisfied with despair.
But even though Qing Huan was wearing an orange prison uniform and sitting in a dark and damp hall, she was still different from everyone else.
She quietly finished a bowl of porridge, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said to the man, "How long have you been here?"
The man took a bite of the steamed bun, glanced at her, and said in a low voice, "I came here at the age of nineteen, and it's been twenty years."
Qing Huan understood, and asked him again: "Don't you want to go out?"
"Get out?" The man seemed to hear something funny, he laughed louder and louder, and even attracted the attention of other people in the hall. "Go out? After coming in here, you still want to go out?"
He repeated again: "Get out?!"
What a funny, and what a desperate word, go out, people who have entered the mixed zone, who doesn't want to go out? But in the end, how many people really went out? He has been here for twenty years, from youth to youth, from youth to middle age, from full of hope at the beginning to complete despair now. He knew that he would never be able to get out. His wish now was to live to the end of his old age. If he couldn't live for a few more decades, then even if he died, he shouldn't die too cruelly.
Qing Huan has been observing his expression, whether others are surprised or indifferent, she always stares at the man, and never looks at anyone else: "Don't you want to live?"
She looked up at the huge windows of the dining room. The windows here seemed huge, but they couldn't actually see anything. Except for the fixed time for letting the wind out every day, their lives had always been dark and desolate. "Don't you want to bask in the sun? Don't you want to be free?"
"You're crazy!" The man slammed the unfinished steamed buns into the dinner plate. "If you are heard by the prison guards, you will be arrested and given electric shocks!"
In the mixed zone, you can fight, you can kill and rape, you can do anything here, but there is only one thing that is not allowed, and that is to get out.
Not even allowed to think.
Prison guards also have simple ways to dissuade prisoners from escaping. They are either beating or electric shocks. They have countless methods of torture. Here, not only prisoners can be unscrupulous, but also prison guards. To them, the prisoners in the mixed area are worse than pigs and dogs, and they can be beaten and scolded at will. Prisoners here have no human rights. Whether you are really guilty or framed, as long as you enter the gate of the mixed zone, you will never get out.
Qing Huan looked at the man, and suddenly smiled, she leaned forward, her voice was bewitching, soft and tactful: "Admit it, you still want to go out."
The corners of the man's eyes twitched slightly, which was the result of trying to restrain his emotions. It could be seen that he really wanted to leave very much—who doesn't want to leave? This ghostly place, if you die here, you may not even be able to escape your soul.
Qing Huan saw through him at a glance, and the other's every move could not escape her eyes. She felt that life in prison was not all dangerous, at least here, her brain was much better than at home.
She has no strength to protect herself for the time being, so she needs a man's help. On the surface, although it is said that she is assisting him, in fact, she wants the man to be completely dependent on herself. So she relied on her analysis of men's psychology, and made a promise unceremoniously: "I will leave here within five years, do you want to be with me?"
Hearing this, the man suddenly raised his head: "What did you say?"
There was a lot of voices around, and no one could see what shocking things this smiling woman said.
No one has ever dared to say leave, the man looked at Qing Huan for two seconds, and smiled mockingly: "Twenty years ago, when I first came in, I thought the same as you."
He didn't say anything later, but Qing Huan understood what he wanted to say. He has ability and strength, but he was trapped in it for twenty years in the end, let alone a weak woman like Qing Huan? But Qing Huan was not frightened by his words, but smiled: "You will believe me, but before that... I need a little help."
She can't always rely on this man to protect herself, she doesn't have the strength to fight against a man, but she has an ability that no one else can match—that is, her familiarity with the human body, as long as she improves her reaction ability and agility , she can also support a piece of the world in this man's world. Even because of her profession, she can become the most special existence here.
What she wants to control is not only her own destiny, but also that of others. Qing Huan doesn't believe that she can be safe by being alone. She needs to become so strong that she can't resist in order to be truly free.
The man is forty years old and getting older, so naturally his skills are not as good as before. He comes from a family of gamblers, and his parents are good at gambling. He has been used to all this since he was a child. After growing up a little bit, he lived in such a smoky environment for more than ten years, until he was sent to prison for accidentally killing someone when he was nineteen years old.
Naturally, one cannot live the same life as outside in prison. In order to eat and survive, he must become fierce and cruel, which is why he has been able to stand tall in the mixed zone for so many years. It's just that at this age, the injuries he suffered when he was young began to show up, and now he obviously feels powerless. Even though he looks tough on the outside, no one knows what he looks like on the inside better than himself.
It seems that he is going to protect Qing Huan, but in fact his selfishness is very serious. There is no doctor in the prison. It will be very dangerous if others know that his body is at the end of their strength. Therefore, he needs Qing Huan.
To put it bluntly, the two get what they need. A man has been rampant in prison for twenty years. Qing Huan needs to learn from him how to hit a person's deadly part quickly and accurately. If she can't surpass a man in strength, then she will seek other methods. People live in this world Above all, must have own value.
At this time, Qing Huan was very fortunate that she had participated in the training of women's self-defense when she was in college. Although she was not proficient, she had enough wisdom and hard work to learn.
The man's name is Fang Liangcai. During these years in prison, he has already been a strong man but a capable man. Qing Huan got what she wanted from him, so it is only natural that she should give back to him. It's just that the prison conditions are limited, and she can only temporarily relieve Fang Liangcai's pain. Unless he leaves here, Fang Liangcai will never recover.
Time passed day by day, with Fang Liangcai's protection, finally no one dared to bully Qing Huan anymore, but the fire could not be contained, even if others could not see Fang Liangcai's physical condition, but in the challenges and fights again and again, Fang Liangcai finally was defeated.
He was lying on the ground in embarrassment, panting violently. In fact, the injuries on the outside were not obvious, but the problem was that his body had begun to decay inside, and it was completely unable to support him to get up again.
The man hit the old wound on his waist just now, which can be said to be fatal to him, Qing Huan stood aside, the man who attacked Fang Liangcai just entered the mixed zone, young and strong, twenty years old Fang Liangcai may not be afraid of him, but the forty-year-old Fang Liangcai is indeed unable to do what he wants. She even felt some people's lewd eyes on her body. It was conceivable that once Fang Liang was completely defeated, it would definitely not be a good thing to welcome her.
"Stand up, you bastard, stand up!"
"Stand up! Stand up!"
There were whistles and boos all around, and Fang Liang lay on the ground. Of course, he didn't want to admit defeat, but the problem was that he couldn't get up in pain at the moment, and even felt that he was about to die of pain. His face became very pale, and there was no obvious damage on the outside, but in fact he was seriously injured.
"What's the matter, are you out of strength? Have you conceded defeat?" The man who challenged Fang Liangcai stepped on his back and laughed, and the surrounding prisoners also laughed. Everyone's laughter was full of malice. No trace of humanity and warmth.
After staying in hell for a long time, normal people will gradually change.
Qing Huan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, of course she can not help Fang Liangcai at this moment, so that she can get a moment of peace and not cause trouble, but what about afterward? Fang Liangcai couldn't escape today, and she couldn't get anything good afterwards. Now she has been in prison for almost three years. During these three years, it was Fang Liang who protected her. If she turned a blind eye, then what is the difference from those who harmed her
But... this man is tall and strong, if she really wants to fight, she might not be able to win.
Anyway, no one said that you can't sneak attack, so when the man was complacent, she pushed down a man standing in front of her, stepped on the other man's body and jumped up, just on the man's back, Then he grabbed the opponent's neck, cut it down with his legs, then quickly drew out the dagger and pressed it against the opponent's neck, and smiled at Fang Liang who was on the ground: "Are you still up?"
She couldn't help him, that would only make more people understand Fang Liangcai's strong outside but capable inside.
Fang Liang took a deep look at her, then got up from the ground, Qing Huan could see clearly, his fingers were trembling.
She patted the man's face with the dagger, and said loudly, "If you want to be the boss, your vigilance is so low."
