The big man's first punch is a jab, designed to test the left side's reaction. He only has four corresponding methods: avoidance, receiving, counterattack and stupid shoulder. If he stupidly carries it, there are two possibilities. The first one is that the leftist disdains to respond to such a level of fist. The second one is He didn't have time to deal with it.
However, Zuo Dao's instinctive reaction when facing an attack must be to dodge, and it is difficult to fake it at this moment. He avoided the quick punch and stepped back half a meter. At the same time, the two thin prisoners sneaked up on him from behind, hitting him with elbows and knees, giving him two solid blows.
The ensuing fight progressed in a similar manner, which was not very pleasing to the eye, but this was also a kind of bad luck. Except for the big man who had some skills in boxing and kicking, the other two were indeed at the level of ordinary men fighting in the streets. If the three of them had the skills of Longhumen, the scene would be better, but the battle would be over after about ten seconds.
Zuo Dao was one against three. After more than ten moves, Zuo Dao received more than a dozen punches and kicks. There were no particularly fatal blows, but just that alone made him hurt enough. If he could barely hold on like this, Zuo Dao's squatting posture with head in hand may have to appear in this world.
Although the ongoing fight has a bit of a farce flavor, it is actually meaningful. It is like a ritual performed by some Jianghu gangs when they recruit new members. The focus is not on the results, but on the process. Everyone knows that when no one can use their abilities, if one person fights three people, he will basically be beaten to the ground. But the key is to see how long you can hold on and how you perform after being beaten.
There are many prisoners like Zuo Dao who pretend to be tough guys. After being beaten, their true colors will most likely be revealed. Once they are discovered, the laundry gang will immediately swarm them, beat them until they can no longer take care of themselves, and kick them out. Everyone understands this truth. If we beat you today and you surrender, then if the prison guards beat you tomorrow, you will definitely betray us.
The fight continued for a few more minutes, and the left path had almost reached its limit. The distance and frequency of the three people attacking him were increasing, and he was thinking about what method to take to deal with this situation. Are you really running around like a squirrel? Or try the skills taught by Tianyi in actual combat? But if the effect is too shocking and attracts the attention of the prison guards, wouldn't he be in trouble
During this thought, for a moment, Zuo Dao was hit in the face with a heavy punch from top to bottom by the big man. In an instant, his eyes were black, and a mouthful of saliva and bloodshot eyes spurted out. Zuo Dao then With stars in his eyes and buzzing in his ears, he staggered a few steps, and it was clear from his posture that he was already unsteady on his feet. At this time, another prisoner stretched his leg towards his heels, and Zuo Dao lost his balance and fell onto his back.
Zuo Dao lay on the ground, and in his sight, he only saw three figures looming over him. He was drowsy when he heard the big man curse something and spit on him, and then he was beaten hard, with punches hitting his flesh, and his feet were kicked to death.
He was beaten until he was unconscious, and just when he was about to pass out, two short and thin prisoners, one on the left and one on the right, held him up. The big man grabbed Zuo Dao's hair, raised his face and said, "Please forgive me, get out of the laundry room from now on, and we will let you go."
Zuo Dao was in so much pain that he wanted to cry. These grandsons were so damn cruel that they beat him to pieces, but he had understood since he was a child that you can only cry when you meet good people, and you have to laugh in front of evil people.
"Hehehe..." Zuo Dao squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying: "You are responsible for hand washing here..."
The taunt was only half-way, and before he could finish his words, he was knocked unconscious by a punch from the front.
… …
When he woke up slowly, Zuo Dao was sitting in the cafeteria, with a meal in front of him, and sitting around him were the prisoners from the laundry gang.
Seeing that he woke up, the prisoner next to him said: "Hey, are you awake? When you are awake, recognize the people. You have remembered the faces of the people on this table. They are all our own. We must take care of each other from now on."
Zuo Dao was still a little dazed. When he heard this, he shook his head and took a closer look. He found that the surrounding environment had completely changed. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious. The blood on his face had been wiped off, but it seemed that he had wiped it clean with his own shirt... The food in front of him must have been brought to him by the members of the laundry gang, which means... the prison guards just let these people take care of him. The unconscious self was held hostage and dragged to the cafeteria
The tables here are all long and the stools are fixed on the ground, similar to a fast food restaurant. Of course, the food cannot be compared with fast food restaurants. Junk food has become a delicacy that only exists in the memory of the prisoners.
With sharp eyes, Zuo Dao noticed that among the prisoners at other tables, there was only a ball of paste-like liquid in the plastic plates in front of them. From the appearance alone, it looked similar to vomit. It was estimated that this was the legendary Tidal Prison. standard meal. The table at which I was sitting was only eating mashed potatoes and rice and flour products, but it could still be considered real food.
"Hey, I'm talking to you. Are you beaten stupid?"
"Huh? Oh, thank you, I understand." After being reminded by the other party, Zuo Dao replied. He picked up the lunch in front of him and started to eat. His eyes scanned the faces of every eater at the same table, but he didn't find anyone. It seemed that the three people he fought with belonged to other detention areas.
Judging from the situation in front of him, even if no one told him directly, Zuo Dao understood that he should be considered a member. The Laundry Gang may not be the only party in the prison, but since they said they could exchange information with each other, they could get involved. It will help to some extent. Anyway, any conditions that can help him connect with the blood owl must be fought for.
Lunchtime was peaceful, and the prisoners were well behaved. There were no mealtime brawls as seen in many movies. In the cafeteria, the prisoners seemed to be reticent. First, the food they ate was disgusting and they were not in the mood to chat. Second, the prison guards around them were relatively close to them, making it uncomfortable to talk.
After finishing the meal and returning the plates, the prisoners returned to the free area. At this time, the laundry gang called Zuo Dao over.
The Laundry Gang did not have the entire detention area sit together like they did during meals. Instead, they work in small groups and disperse their activities. If there are a dozen or even dozens of people gathered together to discuss matters in the free movement area, the prison guards will come over and ask the crowd to disperse.
Zuo Dao followed the four people to a corner, and one of them said: "First of all, you don't have to ask about us, and we won't ask about you. The less information we know about each other, the better. Do you understand?"
Zuo Dao nodded: "What else?"
Another person said: "If you and other prisoners start a fight, you know who to help."
"That's no problem." Zuo Dao looked like a tough guy with a bruised nose and a swollen face, which was quite convincing.
"If you have any information, no matter how trivial it is, it's best to share it with everyone. Maybe a few people can piece together the information to deduce a complete information."
"I have nothing to say at the moment." Zuo Dao replied.
The prisoner on his right said: "You are a new member. It will take you a while to get familiar with your face. Because every time you go to the laundry room, you may not meet someone who has seen you before, so newcomers must have a secret code." .
When you get to the laundry room tomorrow, turn the collars of your own clothes inside out; also, when sorting the clothes, fold the collars of the prison uniforms that you have handled inside. This way, people who have never seen you in the past will know clearly. , you are new here and one of your own. "
Zuo Dao asked: "But there are many people I don't know, so how can I tell whether there are new ones among them?"
"You don't need to worry about this problem. The old members will be responsible for this part. And people like you who haven't worked in the laundry room for half a year and don't know our rules, but suddenly came in like this on a whim, are you not much."
Zuo Dao also heard the irony in these words. These people in front of him were not stupid. His lie of "having been imprisoned for half a year" was obviously seen through. Because prisoners who have been in Tide Prison for a long time know that the existence of the Laundry Gang is inevitable. At least those who were beaten by the Laundry Gang but did not join will definitely get some rumors out.
"So... in fact, we don't increase the number of employees very frequently?" Zuo Dao wanted to change the subject and let the matter go.
"Most likely within three or four days after a new prisoner is admitted, someone with unknown circumstances will come in. Of course, not everyone can withstand the beating and endure to the end." The prisoner added: "There is nothing in the world. The organization will specifically recruit some weaklings and share resources with them, which is even less true in a place like this."
Another person interjected: "By the way, there is one more thing to remind you. There are some self-proclaimed guys who say that working in the laundry room in exchange for two meals is self-indulgence, and they are very contemptuous of us. If you If you encounter such people provoking you or saying bad words to you, try to ignore them. These people are really dogs that can’t bite but can only bark. If you are provoked and attack first, it will not feel like being put in a cage. Feel good."
Zuo Dao thought to himself: Will I take action first? You guys look at me too highly.
"Humph, that kind of person... calls eggs that he can't eat smelly, and women he can't play with, he calls them bitches. I never take this kind of thing seriously." Zuo Dao talked about a mouthful of pickled vegetables. He pretended to be nonchalant with his words, and his face was definitely more noble than those self-proclaimed trolls.
The prisoner on his right spoke again: "Okay, you have to notice that these are the things. Now, whether you are new or have really been detained for half a year, we have to explain to you about The stance of gangs in prison and our relationship with other gangs.”
