On the second day, in addition to eating, I still waited indoors until one o'clock in the afternoon, and finally waited for the time to leave.

A whole train, sixteen carriages. More than 600 prisoners, more than 200 escort soldiers and prison guards were ready to go. After counting the number of troops, a cadre named Ma Haitao ran to the commander-in-chief Ma Wanzhi and reported loudly: "Report to the commander-in-chief, a certain unit is carrying out the task of escorting prisoners, and the preparation of the assembly and pedaling is complete, and there should be 836 people, but there are 836 people, please instruct whether to pedal or not!" ”

The commander-in-chief returned the salute and said the same loudly: "Pay attention to vigilance and start organizing pedaling!" ”

boarded the train, in the eighth carriage, Ye Haodong and Ji Chenggang got together, and with them was Jin Rongzhe. The old horse Gong Maoxiang was also in this carriage, and he said hello to Ye Haodong after getting on the train. Ye Haodong beckoned him over, meaning to talk to him more.

There was some disorder in the carriage at first, and the reason for the commotion was that there were several shackled felons, whose heavy footsteps slowed down the speed of the whole team getting on the bus, and the private squad leader in charge of the organization on the side rushed up angrily, and went up to stab the felon's shoulder with the butt of a rifle. Several people cheered up one after another, and walked forward quickly under the 36-pound torture equipment.

Ye Haodong asked Gong Maoxiang: "What's the matter with these people?" ”

Gong Maoxiang glanced at the prison guard in charge of escorting and whispered to him: "These people are all felons, deprived of political rights for life, I don't expect those guys in my life, I am afraid that they will go out to make trouble, and the torture equipment is added to be prepared." ”

Kim Young-cheol asked: "What can such a person do?" ”

Gong Maoxiang smiled: "When you get there, you'll know, they don't have anything great to do like this, they're all small dishes, the prison guards and management cadres over there are all transferred from the army, and they are all ruthless and not afraid of things, if you meet a kind management cadre over there, it's better, if you meet a crazy child, it's miserable." ”

Ye Haodong asked: "What is a madman?" ”

Gong Maoxiang: "It's crazy, perverted, and when it comes to cleaning up prisoners, it rushes up like a chicken." ”

After all the personnel boarded the train, the commander-in-chief gave an order, and the train started slowly and headed for the great west.

On the train, when passing through the steel city, Ye Haodong reluctantly looked out the window and silently said goodbye to his hometown. When the train entered Gangcheng Station, Hong Yuyu and Jiang Wei were also standing on the platform, and it seemed that they were planning to send Ye Haodong off. All the way to the west, only stop once a day to replenish supplies, the first stop is the symbol city of Jincheng. At Jincheng Station, Ye Haodong and the prisoners on the train saw with their own eyes the soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition standing straight on both sides of the station, everyone wearing steel helmets and military appearances, at a glance it could be seen that this was the unique spirit of the elite troops, and all the prisoners on the car looked stupid.

Gong Maoxiang pretended to be deep: "Let's sleep early, when you get to Lanzhou, there will be something you can see, *, the first army in the world, that majestic and murderous, tsk, that is called the elite of the elite." ”

In the carriage, the prison guards solemnly patrolled back and forth, preventing the prisoners from talking to each other and preventing each other from making trouble, Gao Wei, the person in charge of the carriage, came over and asked in a low voice: "Your name is Ye Haodong?" ”

Ye Haodong was surprised and nodded.

Gao Wei whispered: "Come with me." ”

In the aisle of the train, Gao Wei whispered to Ye Haodong: "I am classmates with Qi Zhendong, he introduced me to you, and I need your favor now." ”

Ye Haodong said the same volume: "What do you need me to do, you say." ”

Gao Wei: "You pay attention to whether there is any collusion and abnormality between the prisoners, if there is, please be sure to tell me in time, I know you call this a little artillery, but in extraordinary times, I hope you can understand, this is also for the good of all of us, once there is a situation out of control, the troops behind us will use heavy weapons, and the whole carriage will be in danger at that time." ”

Ye Haodong nodded, didn't say anything, and quietly returned to his seat.

The train moved forward in a dreary and went straight west out of Shanhaiguan. It is estimated that the whole route will pass through Liao Province, Hebei Province, Jin Province, Mongolian District, Gan Province, Liang Province, Western Xinjiang, seven provinces and regions, with a journey of more than 4,000 kilometers. In total, it takes five days to arrive.

When the train came to the territory of Jin Province, there was a sudden commotion in the carriage in front of Ye Haodong and them, and the prison guards in the carriage on Ye Haodong's side immediately took action, and they all got up with electric batons and wanted to squeeze over there to see the lively prisoners split their heads and cover their faces. Subsequently, the commotion over there was quickly quelled, Gao Wei walked in and quietly told Ye Haodong a few people that a few prisoners over there just took the opportunity to go to the toilet to remove several metal strips on the toilet glass, fortunately, it was found early, and the matter quickly calmed down, and those prisoners who wanted to make trouble had been taken away by the soldiers, and it was estimated that there was no good fruit to eat.

The prisoners in the car heard the wind and whispered to each other, but this time the prison guards did not stop them.

Hu Guangli was shackled and locked in the carriage near the prison guard's duty room, and he had been silent since he got on the bus, without saying a word to anyone. Ye Haodong noticed him because this guy was too silent, it was a kind of silence that gave birth to an explosion, which made Ye Haodong feel dangerous. A prisoner with a shackled body weighing 64 pounds is in itself more eye-catching than the others, not to mention that this guy is still so calm, which is greatly different from other prisoners who are shackled and constantly scolded.

After the train entered Longcheng, it began to replenish supplies, and ten minutes later, just as the train was about to depart, Hu Guangli suddenly asked to go to the toilet. Accompanied by a prison guard, he dragged the heavy torture equipment into the toilet with great difficulty, while the prison guard stood guard at the door, and between them was an iron chain, temporarily locking each other. Ye Haodong had been paying attention to Hu Guangli's movements from time to time, and at this time he suddenly found that there was no one in that position, so he hurriedly got up and walked to Gao Wei and asked, "What about the person with the biggest shackles?" ”

Gao Wei: "I went to the toilet, Xiao Li went with me, what's wrong?" ”

Ye Haodong nodded: "He's too calm, that torture device seems to be on someone else's body, how can he not be irritable at all on such a hot day, I guess he is determined to do something big, so his mind is on it." ”

Gao Wei quickly glanced in the direction of the toilet, Xiao Li was standing at the door, the chain in his hand was still there, and he was relieved. said to Ye Haodong: "Will you have too much heart, Xiao Li looked at him, with such heavy shackles on his body, how much more waves could he make." ”

In the toilet, Hu Guangli spit out the small soap hidden under his tongue, quickly took a sip of water from the toilet bowl, and then took the small soap in his mouth. Soon a mouth full of foam melted, which he carefully applied to his wrists and ankles.

Ye Haodong thought of something and asked Gao Wei: "How long has he been in?" ”

Gao Wei also felt that the time was a little too long, he got up and walked to the toilet, and Ye Haodong followed. In the toilet, Hu Guangli finally took off the last torture instrument, and his bone shrinking skills combined with soap foam finally freed him from the shackles of shackles. Gao Wei walked into Xiao Li and asked, "What's the situation, why has he been in there for so long?" ”

Xiao Li: "The chain is still connected, I heard him whistling just now." As he spoke, he tugged on the chain, and it was empty, and at the other end of the chain was an empty cuff loop. Gao Wei and Xiao Li's faces changed at the same time, and they hurriedly pushed open the door of the toilet, only to see a huge torture instrument left inside, and the window was open to a gap that could not be penetrated into an adult. The train was moving slowly at the moment, just out of the range of the station, and at this time the train was just out of the control of the local garrison, but the speed had not yet risen, and it was the best time to escape.

Gao Wei and Xiao Li immediately left the toilet, Gao Wei picked up the walkie-talkie and reported to his superiors, while Xiao Li stood aside in a panic and was at a loss. It seems that the prisoner's bone shrinking skills are indeed very powerful, and such a small gap can be drilled out. Xiao Li suddenly thought that maybe the prisoner hadn't gone far now, so he took out the key to lock the window, opened the window, poked his head out, and saw nothing. Ye Haodong was interrogated by a prison guard halfway when he followed, so he was one step slower than Gao Wei, and he also walked over at this time, and the scene was clear at a glance, but Ye Haodong's thoughts were completely different from Gao Wei and Xiao Li, he took a closer look at the scene in the toilet, and suddenly looked up, only to see Hu Guangli on the top of the toilet supporting his hands and feet, hanging on it, like a strange-shaped bat lying on the roof of the toilet. Ye Haodong looked at the past, Hu Guangli was frightened and couldn't hide it anymore, his body was like a fish, his head was in front and his feet were behind, and he slid violently towards the window opened by Xiao Li. Ye Haodong grabbed his right foot that he didn't have time to completely draw out.
