Chapter 37 The Dead
Several heavy snowfalls in the past few days have turned the entire land white. It was a rare sunny day, the wind was not strong today, the blue sky was as clear as a sapphire, and the sunlit earth was like a dreamy kingdom of ice and snow. If I hadn't been in hell and didn't need to clean the stinking toilets, I would have made a pot of tea and admired the wonders of nature through the window.
The daily 20-kilometer run of the training fighters was changed to a morning run around the training base, and the ghosts know what kind of accidents would happen when they ran in the snow after a few tens of centimeters.
The cold here really made me see the water splashing into ice, and no one wanted to get out of the warm room. However, there are still many people who went out in the snowstorm a few days ago, and I heard that they were chasing a Chinese named Liu Haishan who escaped.
I have been in contact with Liu Haishan a few times, and I have the impression that he is a very silent middle-aged man. Bald, round-faced, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses tied with several layers of duct tape, he helps out in the kitchen. Liu Haishan is a good errand, at least he can be full in the kitchen.
Lao Wa said that this Liu Haishan has been here for a long time, and I am afraid it will be seven or eight years.
Seven or eight years is indeed a considerable amount of time. How long will I stay here?
"Liu Haishan is planted now, it's strange that this ice and snow can run out. Lao Wa rubbed his hands that had been frozen into steamed buns in the laundry room, "Now there is a vacant place in the kitchen, I have to think about how to see if I can get in." I'm in charge of the kitchen, but I'm a fellow from the Northeast, and I'll go over and chat. ”
Maybe you can really run out, although the snowstorm in the first two days affected the progress, it also covered up the footprints of Liu Haishan.
I silently prayed for Liu Haishan.
Speaking from the heart, I admire Liu Haishan. I don't know what gave him the courage to leave after seven or eight years of imprisonment. I heard that he brought a lot of food with him, and his clothes were quite thick, so he should be well prepared.
At noon, Barrow, the overseer, gathered us handymen together. With his usual cruel smile: "You pigs always fantasize about running away, I tell you not to dream! ”
"One more thing I want to announce. Barrow spoke like a leader, "After our research, it has been decided that in order to prevent something like this from happening, your rations will be halved from today. As for when it will be restored, it will depend on everyone's performance!"
Barrow's words caused an immediate uproar. But no one dared to stand up and refute it, and neither did I, who was in the crowd.
But what chilled my heart was that many people actually began to curse Liu Haishan, who ran away, blaming him for making everyone's life more difficult. Some people even blame Liu Haishan for being born in the midst of happiness and not knowing happiness.
Looking at these expressionless handymen, I grew more and more hated for the name "hell".
Every knuckle of my clenched fist cracked, and my nails dug deep into my flesh.
Will I become like them, will I not care about the lives of my fellow citizens for the sake of the halved food? I dare not think about it, but grit my teeth and resist the urge in my heart to punch Barrow's pig's head.
In the evening, two groups of people came to the training camp.
One wave was heavily armed soldiers in training camp uniforms, and they brought back the dying Bang Haishan. After several days of pursuit, these soldiers also looked gray and haggard. And Liu Haishan, who was dragged to the ground by them, was covered with blood all over his face and body, and I don't know if he would be able to hold on to the last public execution.
Another wave of people caused an even bigger stir when they arrived. The reason is that there is a young woman in this wave. I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard from Lao Wa that it was very beautiful. In this single-sex "hell", a portrait of a naked woman is enough for those boxers to fight, and here comes a woman, God, is the world going to be chaotic?
However, I don't believe Lao Wa's words, I just think that Lao Wa may have been depressed for too long and missed women too much.
Probably considering that Liu Haishan's state did not last long, in order to be able to demonstrate in front of all our handymen. Barrow quickly organized the execution and made it mandatory for all the handymen to be on the scene.
Facing Liu Haishan, who was about to die, Barrow was not as mean as I imagined, and he was ready to call the gunman to execute after a few hasty words. Maybe in the face of the hateful eyes of people when they are dying, Barrow will have nightmares at night.
"Wait!" a woman in a white down jacket hurried over and stopped the gunman, "Can I finally say a few words to him?"
She's the girl who made a splash. All eyes were on the girl.
I don't know how to describe it, but she was really beautiful, especially those clear eyes, like stars in the night sky. Maybe I've been suppressed too long, and I just want to say that she looks a lot like an angel, although I never thought about what an angel in the West would look like.
The girl walked up to Bangsan Mountain, squatted down, and said in a soft and slow voice, "Do you have any last wishes?"
"Is it possible for you to help me achieve it if I propose it?" Liu Haishan's Russian was very authentic, and at this moment he even squeezed out a smile on the girl's face.
"I did my best. The girl looked at Bang Haishan's face very sincerely.
"Well, I haven't touched a woman for a long time, you can sleep with me for one night!" Liu Haishan said, grabbing the girl's arm with all his strength and putting his head close to the girl's face. The blood on Bang Haishan's hands was particularly dazzling on the girl's white down jacket.
No one knows why Liu Haishan did this.
All this was too unexpected for the girl, she struggled in horror, but she couldn't break free from Bang Haishan's powerful hands.
"Bang!" someone shot at Liu Haishan's head.
The execution gun finally rang out. The moment the bullet hit Liu Haishan's head, Liu Haishan's head seemed to explode. Brains and blood burst out, and the upper body of the oncoming girl was sprayed with bright red blood.
"Vidja, Vidja!" Barrow nervously grabbed the girl.
The girl named Vija looked at the half-left head with lost eyes, and it took a long time for her to vomit "wow".
It was so bloody that my stomach couldn't help but churn. Looking at Vija who covered her face, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pity.
"It's good to be dead!" a bearded Chinese named Han Shan looked at Liu Haishan's body indifferently, as if he was looking at a dead and insignificant animal.
"What did you say?" I glared at him, "Say it again!"
My anger surged out in an instant, it was our compatriot who died! I couldn't stand up for him and insult him after he died, are you still fucking human? I clenched my fists.
The same handyman who was caught here, when will we be able to get out, or will we all die here?
Maybe I can't get out of this damn "hell" until I die! My heart is bleeding.
Out of all the handymen, I was famous for my fights.
When Lao Wa and I first came in, there were often handymen who wanted to bully us. I don't understand why the Chinese still bully each other in such a place and want to reason with them, but no one pays attention to you. But when I raised my fist and beat them all over the ground, they nodded at you and approved of what you said.
I see, in this place, the truth is not as big as a fist!
Seeing my fierce eyes, Han Shan quickly closed his mouth. He knew that if I did get angry, he wouldn't be able to get up tomorrow. This place, no one has ever given you justice fairly!
"Hey, you guys aren't here yet. Barrow pointed at me and Han Shan, and the movement of the two of us made Barrow notice us.
Looking at the horrific corpse, I sighed and said silently in my heart:
"May you in heaven stay away from hell!"
The girl named Vija also surprised me, and after a few mouthfuls, she insisted on coming to Liu Haishan's corpse, took out the cross hanging around her neck and began to pray for him.
The expression was religious and focused, like an angel.
Perhaps, this woman is different.
