Chapter 31: The Past
It's like another village. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Wen Zhong's guess was not wrong, there were many large pots on the table for cutting vegetables in the back kitchen, which contained many delicious foods. On the stove with the fire on the stove, there are several large cauldrons in which a variety of meats are cooked.
The bones are bubbling, and the smell of meat comes from here.
On the table next to it, there was still half a bottle of liquor, which seemed to be left undrunk. This amount of food is enough for everyone in this detention center to eat.
Is there any event today?
Since the end of the 354 Guess Mei Bi trial and the entry into the back kitchen, Wen Zhong has always had a lot of questions to ask in his heart. But the 354 kept taking him away, and didn't give him the slightest chance to ask questions.
Many people squeezed into the back kitchen, looking at the many delicacies, smelling the aroma of wine, and the sound of swallowing spit, many people were hungry, and even some people's stomachs were rumbling after eating.
But no one moved, went to take these foods and ate them, and did not dare to make a mistake.
"Can you drink?" 354 spoke suddenly, turning to look at Wen Zhong.
Wen Zhong had only one thought in his heart, did he really bring everyone here to eat big fish and meat? I couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva: "I can drink a lot of beer, but I haven't tried liquor." ā
Wen Zhong is telling the truth, if he can drink liquor, guess Mei he will too.
"Go, bring some cases of cold beer." 354 greeted 158, who quickly went to find someone to find a cold beer.
"I want to ask ......" Wen Zhong wanted to ask about the previous matter, but was interrupted by 354 again.
Wen Zhong was suddenly helpless.
"I'll talk about it later, I'll finish arranging things first, don't worry." 354 said calmly, turned to look at these people with straight eyes, and said softly: "Clean up within ten minutes, clean the restaurant after eating, and leave some for 231 them!" ā
"Tell 158 to come back quickly, and share some food for everyone. Let's go back as soon as you're done. After 354 finished speaking, he pulled Wen Zhong around and came to the storage room next to the kitchen.
In addition to some food necessary for storage, there is a round table in the empty space in the middle, on which more prepared meals are placed, which are much better than the food in the pots and basins outside.
"What is this?" Wen Zhong was even more puzzled.
"Ours."
"What about the outside?" Wen Zhong asked.
"Brothers."
For 354's answer, Wen Zhong finally understood. But I have some doubts in my heart, when did the detention center become so open, and you can still drink and smoke, where is this like a detention center?
"When will the detention center be able to drink again?" Wen Zhong asked his own question.
"Sit down, let's have a drink." 354 pulled Wen Zhong to sit down, picked up the remaining half bottle of liquor and opened it, gave Wen Zhong a small glass, and poured himself a small glass: "Drink slowly, talk while eating." ā
"Come on, do it."
Wen Zhong could only pick up the wine glass and swallow the spicy throat wine in one gulp, but his eyes were fixed on 354, hoping to give an answer to the other party.
"This is a pick-up and a send-off wine." 354's expression was gloomy, he glanced at Wen Zhong, and didn't say anything more.
The dish that had just been stuffed into his mouth, Wen Zhong suddenly felt like chewing wax, he knew what the other party meant. Pick up the wind, today is yourself, as for the send-off, look at the other party's expression, you know, no need to guess.
I also wear bracelets and leg cuffs, who do you see off if you don't see yourself off?
It seems that some people really want to push themselves to a dead end, and they have to die?
Wen Zhong, who didn't give up, looked at 354 and wanted the other party to explain it to him.
"Well, I want to drive a little, little brother." 354 glanced at the two cases of beer already in the doorway, and waved 158, who was hiding in the doorway, to move in.
Then he helped Wen Zhong open a bottle: "It is said that life and death depend on fate, success or failure, but many times it is involuntarily." If you don't fight for it, your fate will be like duckweed, and you may ...... one day."
said that he smiled bitterly first: "You can be regarded as another death row prisoner who came in and wore bracelets and anklets, and our big guys will pick you up together, and by the way, we will also send you off, so that you can go all the way." ā
Wen Zhong chewed the food in his mouth hard, his eyes fixed on the dining table, and he suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart. Turning to his senses in an instant, he smiled with a somewhat stiff face: "I'm already a person who has died twice, and it doesn't matter if I have one more time." I'm not afraid, come, little brother will have a drink with you. ā
354 had a look of surprise on his face, unable to calm down for a long time.
The kid in front of him was able to calm down so quickly, and said these words like child's play, it seems that the other party has indeed experienced a lot of things.
Just this sentence for someone who has already died twice is enough for 354 to ponder for a long time.
It seems that the other party is also a man with a story.
Stories need to be shared.
"Let me talk about me first." 354 didn't rush to ask Wen Zhong, but helped Wen Zhong pick up some food, sat back in the chair, fell into deep thought with a wine glass, and slowly told his experience.
This matter has to start from more than ten years ago, 354 was a strong young man in his early 20s at that time, and the economy was not so developed at that time.
354 is a rural child with little education, and he got out of school very early and began to work around the provincial capital. I worked as a mason, carpenter, served dishes, and worked as a cook, but the money I earned from these jobs was not enough to feed my family.
Later, 354 followed the people from the same village who went to work in other provinces, and went to places with more coal mines, specializing in mining and digging coal. This is manual work, and you can earn as much as you dig with your own strength.
It was at that time that he met the girl he loved. The girl works as an accountant in a coal mine, and the two are about the same age, and they soon fall in love.
When it came time to talk about marriage, the woman's parents objected to 354 being with their daughter, and then it was over. At that time, the woman's parents gave 354 too much blow, after all, they have academic qualifications, but they have no academic qualifications, and they have no strength.
The disheartened 354 just took advantage of the approaching New Year, so he resigned and went home for the New Year, when he was 24 years old and had reached the age of talking about marriage. After returning home for the New Year, he began to decorate his house.
Because the parents are old, they are looking forward to 354 getting married as soon as possible and leaving them with a little grandson. The house was renovated, and after February, Erlong raised his head, and 354 needed to go out with some people from the same village to look for work.
Just send the matchmaker to introduce a beautiful little daughter-in-law and marry her.
But at this moment, a large group of police officers came roaring in police cars, surrounded 354's home, and took 354 away. The police testified that 354 was guilty of intentional homicide, killed the girl he had been with, and absconded in fear of the crime.
At that time, the police received a report that the girl had been strangled to death on a bunk bed in their staff dormitory, and that she was sitting on the lower bed, suffocated by the red trouser belt around her neck.
354 was charged with unsuccessful marriage proposals, intentional homicide with resentment, and absconding in fear of crime.
In the end, 354's parents died of illness one after another, and 354 was imprisoned, and then the court announced that he was sentenced to death on the spot, and he was immediately executed.
But 354 knew that he had not killed anyone, and many people in the same village could prove it to him.
The reality pales in comparison, proving to be ruthlessly ignored.
Although many people can prove that 354 has been in his hometown all the year, and has been repairing his house at home until February 2 after the Chinese New Year. Moreover, the place where the crime occurred is more than 1,000 kilometers away from 354's hometown, and the police are very vague about how to commit the crime.
The victim's family bit 354 to kill their daughter, and the testimony identified it as 354.
In this way, after the verdict took effect, after eating the send-off meal, he was escorted to the execution ground.
The other seven people who were escorted to the execution site that day were also shot. At that time, it was decided to let 354 carry a big flag and carry a flag on his back, which meant that the first one to be shot would set an example for the prisoners behind him, so that the people behind could see the dead heart clearly.
But from beginning to end, 354 kept shouting that he didn't kill anyone, kept shouting injustice, and asked for an appeal. But the seven people who traveled with him were extremely calm, and their faces were all dead.
After arriving at the execution site, prepare to be the first to be executed. However, 354 struggled, refused to accept it, and had to appeal, which seriously affected the discipline of the execution ground. Later, the executor kicked him to the ground, stepped on his shoulder, and prepared to kill him at close range.
354, who was kicked to the ground, was Rao held to the head with a gun, or yelled at the wrong, asking for an appeal.
In the end, all the condemned prisoners were killed, but he was brought back.
"And what happened?" Wen Zhong pondered throughout the story, found too many loopholes, and was very curious about what happened at that time.
354's face turned red rarely, and he smiled awkwardly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, many people here also know it." At that time, I tried my best to resist and shouted for an appeal, but the executive noticed that something was wrong and brought me back. After drinking a glass of white wine, he smiled with a mouthful of wine: "At that time, I was so scared that I was so scared that I was and urinating...... Haha, my life was saved, but I've been paralyzed ever since. ā
Saying that, he showed Wen Zhong the crutches: "It's much better now, at least I can still walk." ā
Wen Zhong nodded, and he also admired the wise and kind-hearted executive officer in his heart.
"Since then, I've been writing appeals every day, every month, every year, and I've never stopped. I was originally sentenced to death, but my sentence was later commuted to life. Even though I'm still writing appeals every day, I don't have much hope anymore. ā
"Why?" Wen Zhong was puzzled.
"After I was imprisoned, my parents died one after another, and I was an unfilial son. Later, the new house collapsed, and my fourth uncle built a new house on the base of my old house, and all the witnesses were old and dead, and I was already homeless. ā
354's tone was full of dead silence, with a faint sadness: "Since beating me and paralyzing, after the sentence was changed to indefinitely, I moved to this detention center and have lived until now." Now I've made it a habit to write material every day so that I don't forget these things. ā
354 suddenly turned his head to look at Wen Zhong and smiled happily.
Wen Zhong's heart was sad, why wasn't he wronged like this?
The 354 Wen Zhong in front of him always thought that he was at least about fifty years old, but from the other party's age, he was at most in his early forties. 354, who has white temples and white hair and a wrinkled face, has been old here all his life because of this incident.
"Tell me about you."
Faced with the other party's question, Wen Zhong didn't know how to answer?
