The news that Cao Xiaohua was escorted to Yenching University was undoubtedly the happiest thing for Cao Erniu during this time, and he could even imagine that with his sister's intelligence, his future life would be bright after graduating from Yenching University, the first university in China. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Thinking like this, even the haze in prison has been diluted a lot, no matter what, my sister can finish college without worry, which is Cao Erniu's greatest wish all along.

But as the saying goes, happiness begets sadness, two months of peaceful life made Cao Erniu somewhat relax his guard, what he didn't know was that a conspiracy net concocted by Cai Xiaochuan was quietly enveloping him......

In March, because the New Year has passed, life in prison is no longer monotonous, just as the workers have finished their annual leave, and the prisoners in the prison have also begun to work, which is the so-called labor reform, commonly known as labor reform.

Re-education through labor is often extremely hard, mostly for jobs such as road construction and mining operations, but even so, prisoners are eager to do so, because good performance in re-education through labor can give them a coveted benefit - a reduction in sentence.

This is also the only way for inmates to leave the prison early under normal circumstances.

Cao Erniu's District A prison was responsible for dealing with a long-abandoned coal mine that had been mined a few years ago, leaving three abandoned mines that went straight underground. What they have to do is to dismantle all the valuable things in the mine, such as cable cars, tracks, etc., and transport them out, and then blow up the mine and fill it up.

It is said that the government has a new purpose for this land, and it is to build a large-scale modern factory here that will attract foreign investment.

The inmates of the prison in Area A arrive here every morning at 8 a.m., then work under the watchful eye of 100 meters of heavily armed prison guards, with an hour's break at noon, lunch delivered by a food truck at 12 p.m., and a bus back to the prison at 5 p.m.

With such a tight schedule and the high motivation of most of the inmates, the project, which was expected to last for two months, took only a little more than a month and was almost finished.

Today, almost all the state property in the pit has been transferred, and only the final blasting work remains, and when the mine is blown up, it is properly filled with earth and gravel, and the land is completely leveled and can be used to build a factory.

The blasting work does not require everyone to participate, in short, only a few people need to be sent down to the pit to plant the detonator, and then the deputy warden in charge of the prison in Area A will personally detonate it remotely.

Because the prisoners involved in this work will be exposed to gunpowder with their own hands, so they are often very cautious in the selection of people, and the selected prisoners have no bad records in addition to their physical fitness and mental reactions, all of which are taken into account, after all, this matter is somewhat dangerous, if it is handed over to a person with a worrying IQ A bag of **, God knows what kind of mess will be made.

Cao Erniu was fortunate to be selected as one of them, and the reason why it is said to be fortunate is that prisoners who participate in blasting operations are often more likely to get their sentences commuted.

"Our team is in charge of the No. 2 pit, Xu Kang, Liu Bo, Wang Hongming, Li Yifei, and the four of you are responsible for the location of the front section of the mine. Zhou Du, Geng Yuantong, Jia Yunbo, Huang Qiang, the four of you are in charge of the middle section of the mine. Wang Linguang, Li Yigang, Cao Hongjin, Zhang Wei, the four of you are all young and strong young men, and you are in charge of the tail end of the mine. ”

In a vacant lot outside the mine, Tao Xinxiang, the captain of the prison guards who had been Cao Erniu's direct boss during this time, dispatched troops to the sixteen people selected from their group in front of him.

"Do you understand the area you are responsible for?"

"Understood." Sixteen people, including Cao Erniu, replied in unison.

"Good." After Tao Xinxiang nodded, he pointed to a large cardboard box not far from him, and said: "Now each person comes forward to receive ten packs of **, after entering the mine, the order of placement must be strictly in accordance with the mark reserved by the engineer yesterday." ”

"Yes." After everyone replied in unison, they stepped forward to receive **, ** apparently ready for a long time, just in a set of ten packs, packed in a sturdy slanted shoulder canvas bag.

"Remember, act fast, don't waste time by procrastinating, each of you appoints a temporary team leader, one group of Liu Bo, two groups of Jia Yunbo, three groups of Wang Linguang, the three of you must do a good job of supervision and aftermath, others must be absolutely obedient, after the task is completed, immediately exit the mine, and then each team leader counts the number of people and reports to me in a unified manner."

After Tao Xinxiang finished his instructions, he pointed to the mine behind him, signaling that he could enter, and at the same time pressed the chronograph hanging around his neck.

"Damn, it's wrong to be young! Blame me? After entering the mine, seeing that Liu Bo's group, who was in charge of the front position, had begun to be arranged in a hurry, Zhang Wei of Cao Erniu's group scolded and scolded.

You must know that this pit is not short, if there is no cable car, it will take at least ten minutes to walk from here to the end, and because it has been abandoned for many years, the road conditions are not good, there are potholes everywhere, the light of the searchlight above the head, and the irradiation range is very limited, it is easy to accidentally stumble on your feet or something.

"Okay, don't complain, it's good to be able to come in, maybe you can lose a year and a half after you go back." Wang Linguang, the temporary team leader, replied to him lightly.

"Hehe, that's right, I just don't know how long it can be reduced this time, my woman is still waiting for me outside!" Zhang Wei licked his chapped lips and said expectantly.

He was so poor that he robbed a convenience store with a knife, but fortunately, the amount involved in the case was not large, and he had a good attitude of admitting guilt, so he was only sentenced to the minimum standard of ten years, and then he abided by his duty in prison, and rushed to do the dirty work, and got a two-year commutation of his sentence, calculating the time, and he could be released from prison in nine months, if he could get a commutation this time, it would mean that he had finally come to an end!

You must know that the first love with his childhood sweetheart, but he waited for him outside for seven years, so he vowed to go out and marry her as soon as possible, and then find a job that can support his family.

Like Zhang Wei, the other people in the company also had expectations in their hearts, so even if they were doing the hardest and most tiring work, they didn't complain too much, and they all walked forward energetically.

Five minutes later, the two groups parted ways, and Jia Yunbo's group, who was in charge of the middle section of the mine, began their work.

Ten minutes later, the mark at the end of the pit appeared, and Wang Linguang gave an order, and a group of four people stuck to the stone walls on both sides, and carefully buried them according to the reserved markers. Wang Linguang and Li Yigang are in charge of the left, and Cao Erniu and Zhang Wei are in charge of the right.

"Hey, brother, I know you, you are the one covered by the little marquis, right?" Zhang Wei should look like twenty-five or sixteen this year, but he looks handsome, fair-skinned, and looks younger than his actual age.

"Hmm." Cao Erniu looked at his words and deeds and knew that his heart was not bad, so he turned his head sideways and smiled, but he estimated that he couldn't see the black light.

"Hey, I really envy you, I can still know such a big person."

Cao Erniu carefully placed the **, and then answered: "Actually, it's nothing, when I first met, I didn't know who he was." ”

"So fate is a mysterious thing, for example, if we can get together today, this is fate, whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." After Zhang Wei buried a ** bag, he walked around to the front of Cao Erniu, and said with a smile as he walked.

The two of them had a sentence without saying a word, and Zhang Wei was basically talking along the way, Cao Erniu listened, time passed not slowly, and all ten ** bags were finally buried. Among the four, Cao Erniu was the slowest one, and the other three had already gathered together to wait for him.

"Let's go, it's probably waiting for us, get out quickly." Seeing him coming, team leader Wang Linguang waved his hand and said.

So the group of four rushed out, after all, it was easy to get this beauty difference, and if it was too procrastinating and lost the commutation benefits, it would be worth the loss.

Because there is no weight of **, the four of them are much faster than when they came, about two minutes later, they have walked nearly a third of the way, Cao Erniu and Zhang Wei are in front, team leaders Wang Linguang and Li Yigang are behind, this formation looks nothing strange, after all, Tao Xinxiang also said when he came in that the temporary team leader should play the role of supervision and aftermath.

But when Cao Erniu was unguarded, Wang Linguang, who was following him, suddenly became difficult, and with the faint light of the searchlight, he stepped on his ankle fiercely.

"Ahh Cao Erniu screamed, and due to the severe pain in his right foot, his body lost control and fell directly to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wei, who was walking side by side with him, was startled, and after looking back to see the situation, he asked anxiously.

"This ...... I'm so embarrassed that I accidentally stepped on his foot, and I blamed me for being in a hurry. Wang Linguang squatted down with a face full of self-reproach and pretended to look at it.

"Can you still go?" Zhang Wei held Cao Erniu's arm and carefully helped him up.

Cao Erniu put down his raised right foot and tried it on the ground, the whole person couldn't help but gasp, and said with a painful expression: "No...... No, this foot is completely weak. ”

"Forget it, let's carry you out." Zhang Wei's head was big for a while, and after thinking about it, he set his eyes on the team leader Wang Linguang.

Wang Linguang frowned, and muttered: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, if the time is delayed for too long, and no one in our group goes out, I'm afraid Captain Tao will be furious." ”

"So what do you say?" Zhang Wei shrugged his shoulders and looked at Li Yigang, who had not said a word from beginning to end.

Li Yigang noticed his inquiring gaze and suggested: "I look at it like this, Zhang Wei, you take care of him here first, this black light is blinding, I will go out with the captain to report first, and then get a deputy stretcher to carry him out, you see?" ”

Zhang Wei thought to himself why I didn't go out and you guarded, but he still nodded and said, "Okay, you guys go and come back quickly." ”

After getting his consent, Wang Linguang and Li Yigang glanced at each other and hurriedly walked out, while Zhang Wei helped Cao Erniu to sit down slowly.

Time passed minute by minute, and about five minutes later, Cao Erniu suddenly frowned and opened his mouth, looked at Zhang Wei beside him, and said, "I feel that something is wrong." ”

He had been completely occupied by the pain just now, and now that he sat down and had less pain in his feet, he finally realized that something was wrong.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wei, who was squatting on the side, didn't know why.

"Look at my feet."

"Hiss-" Hearing Cao Erniu say this, Zhang Wei turned on the searchlight and looked at his injured ankle, and couldn't help but gasp. Where are these human feet? It's just a swollen steamed bun! It's almost up to the thick thighs.

"Why is it so serious?"

"That's why I said that something was wrong, I didn't realize the pain just now, the kick that Wang Linguang stepped on me was too heavy, it didn't look like he accidentally stepped on ...... at all."

"You mean, he did it on purpose?" Zhang Wei's face changed drastically.

"That's how it should be."

Zhang Wei asked a little puzzled: "What is the reason?" We can't complete the task on time, I'm afraid he's the captain of the team, he doesn't have any good fruit to eat, right? ”

Cao Erniu said with a solemn face: "It's hard to say the specific reason now, but it's definitely not a good thing, you leave me alone, go out immediately and tell the prison guards outside about the matter here, remember, you must be fast." ”

Zhang Wei saw that Cao Erniu's expression was very serious, and he didn't have time to think about it, so after nodding, he hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, then you wait here." ”
