Hevu ignored Rhett's righteous indignation, and he said to Rhett, "I don't understand your."

Red spread his hands helplessly and said: "Whatever you say, prison is a strange place, at first you hate it, then get used to it, and after a long time you can't live without it, this is called institutionalization!" The last sentence was squeezed out of his teeth by gritting his teeth, and his words were heavy and helpless.

"A life sentence is equivalent to a lifetime payment, at least part of which must be handed over." After several other inmates sighed, Red looked at the sky outside the prison and calmly let out such an emotion.

Lao Bu was released on parole in the end, even if he was very reluctant, as Red said, Lao Bu couldn't do a lot of things after he was released from prison, no different from a waste person, the society has changed too much, many concepts and habits from fifty years ago are no longer suitable for the current metropolis, can't keep up with the trend of the times, can't use the things of the times, and will eventually be eliminated by society. In the end, Lao Bu could only leave a farewell letter in despair and leave this seemingly otherworldly world.

Lao Bu's death made Andy, Red and others very painful, but they were helpless, and no one could easily change their fate in this kind of institutionalized prison.

Andy's efforts to write a letter a week finally paid off, and many books and various library materials were donated from the outside world, Andy was so happy when he saw this moment that he seemed to forget that he was still in prison, and when he saw a record, the level of ecstasy in his heart made him forget himself, and he took the record to the warden's office, locked the door, and began his enjoyment.

He played the record on the radio, and he himself lay in his chair and listened to soft music, with a pleasant and happy smile on his face, as if he had brought three beers to his fellow inmates, and only then did he feel that he was still useful.

When the beautiful song came out of the window and into the ears of every prisoner, everyone was stunned, and everyone put down their work to listen to this once-in-a-lifetime natural sound.

At that time, Red sighed: "I can't understand what she sings, in fact, I don't want to understand it, this kind of music can't be expressed in words at this time." She sings of indescribable beauty, so beautiful that it breaks your heart, so beautiful that you forget everything, forget yourself, as if your whole body and mind are floating in the air. The song soared through the clouds, surpassing the dreams of the frustrated prisoners, like birds flying into the cell, making the stone wall disappear without a trace, and at this moment, the Shawshank prisoners seemed to regain **. ”

Andy's blatant playing of music naturally attracted the warden and Haley, because it was forbidden to play such music in prison for no reason, Andy lit their anger, and they roared outside the door, but Andy turned a deaf ear, still smiling, and turned up the music to the loudest.

Seeing this scene, even if the audience's faces did not have any expressions written or take any action, they still looked at the screen quietly, but Lin Feihong knew that their hearts were extremely excited.

Haley and Warden Norton couldn't get in, and in the end, Haley had to break the glass door and forcibly stop Andy's behavior. As a result of this act, Andy was placed in two weeks of confinement.

The boring confinement did not make Andy feel any remorse, and when he came out to eat with Red and the others, he joked that this was his most lively life.

When asked why he wasn't particularly bored in confinement, Andy pointed to his head and chest and said, "Because I have Mozart with me, he has settled in my mind and heart."

With music you will feel happy, will not be bored**, music is perfect, the beauty of music is no one can take away, as long as you like, the feeling of listening to beautiful music will always exist in your heart, haven't you experienced? ”

Red glanced at Andy and said, "I played the harmonica when I was younger, and now I have no interest, and there is no point in being in prison."

"It's here that it makes sense, and music doesn't make you forget."

"Forget what?"

Andy said to Red very seriously: "In the world, there are some things that cannot be closed by stone walls, and some things will never change in people's hearts, it will only change people, and it is not controlled by anyone in our hearts except ourselves."

"What is it?" Red asked.

"Hope!"

"Hope?" Red sneered and said, "Friend, I'm telling you, hope is a bad thing, it can drive you crazy, you better not believe it."

"Just like Lao Bu?"

Rhett turned a deaf ear to Andy's words, Andy's hope was ** in his eyes, serving more than thirty years in prison and being denied parole many times, the original hope now seems to him to be nothing more than a lifelong fantasy.

Playing music openly is not a big crime for Andy, and if it were someone else, he would be killed, at least Andy is very useful to the warden.

In prison, you have to find something to do if you have nothing to do, otherwise the long days will make you crazy, Andy in addition to carving, playing chess, and occasionally gambling with his cellmates, usually they gamble the most is cigarettes, Andy wins almost every time, no matter who he gambles with, so his reputation spreads throughout the prison, and this matter also reaches the ears of the warden.

Originally, gambling was a tacit thing in prison, and the warden would not easily pay attention to this matter, but this time it was different, the warden was very concerned about this matter, so he called Andy over and questioned him in the form of interrogation, and then the warden and all the people in the prison knew that Andy was a master of card counting, and he was basically clear about the number of cards of his opponent, and Andy's reputation was better again.

This matter is not over, the warden secretly called Andy and asked him to win money for himself, because recently the warden lost a lot of money by gambling outside, and he has been trying to turn over the book without success, but he is getting deeper and deeper. Of course, this kind of request is also conditional, the condition is that it will give Andy the opportunity to reduce the time he serves, this ** force is very big for Andy, he doesn't want to go out early for a day, so he agreed to the warden's request on the spot.

So the next night, the warden secretly took Andy out of prison and into a casino.

This day can be said to be Andy's most beautiful day since he was imprisoned, with a suit, leather, and sunglasses on his body, as if he was already a glamorous ** person, and only here did he feel that he was still useful, and only here did he forget that he was still a prisoner, and only here did he get a trace of short-term happiness.

When seeing this scene, the audience's mood was raised again, Andy gave them a refreshing mood when he gambled in prison, and this time Andy came to the casino, which instantly raised their excitement to a higher level.

"The prisoner actually took it to the casino to gamble, it's really exciting, there are touching places and cool scenes, it's really good, it's really worth the money."

"The protagonist's masochistic suffering has finally been eased a little."

Some couldn't help but whisper, excited about Andy's rise.

Andy on the screen was already playing a second duel with his opponent at the table, originally dividing the four-game game into four, but then Lin Feihong changed his mind and shortened it to two, using it twice here, and playing the remaining two later.

Andy leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes in contemplation, and did not glance at the number of cards on the table, the index finger and middle finger of his right hand tapped regularly on the armrest. When his opponent calls the number, he says one word: follow.

When he called the back, the opponent began to be impatient, because Andy was still that dead, and the number of followers was getting bigger and bigger, and when he called the number, sometimes it was big and sometimes it was small, which was very unstable and unpredictable.

The cards have been dealt to the last one, this time it was Andy's turn to call the number, Andy stopped tapping with his right hand, slowly opened his eyes, stared at the opponent and smiled, and said, "Five million!"

The opponent held back his nervousness and secretly wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and the other party was so confident, calling from one million to five million at once. After a long time, he gritted his teeth, and then spit out a few words from his mouth: with five million!

"Okay, show the cards!" Andy looked at his opponent proudly.

After the hole cards of the two turned over, the opponent was completely dumbfounded, although the number of cards in front of Andy was not large, but the total number was larger than himself, his was three of a dozen 10 with two cards, but he was three of a 9 only a number of nearly 10 million lost.

The next day after being taken out of prison by the prison warden, many people knew about it, and in less than a morning, all the people in the prison, including the prison guards, knew about it, and since then, Andy has become an idol of all his fellow inmates, and Andy didn't feel this way when he won a few of their cigarettes before, but now after this incident, they worship Andy in addition to worship.

But the three prisoners with the same surname did not let Andy go because of this, **I hope they can't be suppressed, worship is worship, ** is still needed.

They didn't succeed, and the warden helped Andy a lot, and Haley beat the three prisoners with the same surname to the hospital, and Andy was able to get rid of the humiliation.

At this time, although the audience did not cheer, you can see the relief in their expressions, and there is a sense of relief.

Human greed is endless, and after Andy recovers the cost for the warden, the warden still has no heart to give up, and will take Andy to win money for him, and Andy will also have to launder money for him.

Andy continued to serve the warden until a prisoner who knew the truth was killed by the warden, and Andy lost confidence in the warden, at which point he felt that the warden had just been using him, and all bullshit promises were just floating clouds, so he began to resist, and he refused to serve the warden again.

But he is still a prisoner after all, in the end, he is a chess piece in the hands of the warden, there is no ** chess piece, the warden threatens him that if he doesn't do this, then the library he established will be sealed, his friend Red will never have a chance to get parole again, his friend will not have a good life, and the three prisoners with the same surname will be called back to continue insulting him.

People can't help themselves, this is Andy's first feeling, he has no choice but to choose to continue to serve the warden, win money, and launder money. Andy is a thinking prisoner, he forbears like this for a purpose, by serving the warden, the warden trusts him and thinks that he is really obedient, and relaxes his guard against him, so he takes this opportunity to find an opportunity to redeem himself and dig a wall to escape!

This task, which in Rhett's opinion took six hundred years to dig through the prison walls, Andy only took twenty years, and twenty years, he persevered with his perseverance, because there was always hope in his heart.

When the plan was almost underway, Andy decided it was time to leave, so he found Red during the day, and the two sat down by the wall.

"You know that I don't take drugs, ****, but all the results prove that there are my fingerprints, DNA, someone must have framed me, and now my wife is probably already married to someone else." Andy looked at the sky outside the high wall, laughed at himself, and continued: "Maybe I'm the unluckiest person in the world, I was blown into prison by this unlucky hurricane, but I didn't expect it to blow for so long." Rhett, did you think you'd go out one day? ”

A hint of despair flashed across Rhett's eyes as he looked at the sky beyond the high wall, and sighed, "Maybe, maybe when I'm too old to walk, and I'm lost in everything."

Andy said to Red very seriously: "Red, you shouldn't be like this, you have to have faith!"

"Faith?" Red sneered: "Andy, you are too naïve to think about it, there is no confidence at all in this prison in Shawshank, I hope this kind of thing, these things are just a pretext for the political axe to educate us prisoners, and it is actually just a floating cloud, as long as you enter this prison, you don't want to leave here, parole is just a formality, and life imprisonment means that your life is completely tied here." You still don't have a white dream, spend the rest of your life here, I've been locked up for nearly forty years, I don't care now, I'm used to it now, I can't leave the prison, I'm the same as Lao Bu is also a member of the prison institutionalization, presumably every prisoner here will eventually be institutionalized, at first I hated here, as the years go by, when your own concepts, outlook on life, and values are out of place with the outside world, you can only stay here, because only here can you live. ”

"I won't, I'll tell you where I'm going, when I'm out of prison I'm going to go to a small island in the Pacific Ocean, it's in Mexico, where I'm going to build a hotel by the sea, and buy a second-hand cargo ship, and charter a boat to go out to sea every morning to carry passengers, and I yearn for this life, but I need someone who can get what I need." Andy looked at Red with a determined, confident gaze and hope in his eyes.

Red shook his head, sighed and said: "If I can get you what you want here, but I can't do it outside, maybe I don't even have the ability to support myself after I go out, let alone help you get something, I have been locked up for so many years, I may not be able to support myself without relatives and no reason after going out like Lao Bu, and in the end, I can't choose to come here again or commit suicide, I can't leave here."

Andy, as a friend, I think I need to persuade you, or don't think about this in vain, I haven't heard of a prisoner in the past few decades who will hope that one day he will be released from prison, Lao Bu is a bloody example, only when you are old and the political axe will let you out, because you can't provide free labor for the prison, keeping you is just a waste of food, so they will kick you out.

You are still young and far from this step, you still think about the current situation, your dream of a hotel and chartered boat to go to sea is far away, and you are now nesting here, the end of the world, close is not as close as you imagined, this is the reality, Bai Yumeng or don't do it casually! ”

Andy said excitedly: "So people have to make a choice, and their fate is in their own hands."

I've been innocently imprisoned for so many years, even if it's wrong, I should pay it back, a hotel, a boat, this is not too much, it's my dream to spend the rest of my life in a place where there are no memories, I think I should be very close to this goal now.

Red, people, no matter where you are, as long as you live, you have to make a choice, either live and wait for death, or live to continue to live, in order to live more excitingly, and I, who chose the latter, decide whether to be busy living or busy dying. ”

Standing up and taking a few steps, Andy turned back to Red and said, "Red, can you do me a favor?"

"I'll help you with whatever you do." Red stood up and nodded earnestly, he was helpless about this crazy friend in front of him.

Andy walked up to Rhett and said seriously: "In a rice field in Little Wolf Village, there is a big tree on the edge of a rice field, and there is a pile of rocks next to the big tree, which is where my wife and I went on our first date, I'm afraid I won't have time to go there, you can help me go there, at the bottom of the tree, there is a black glass stone, under the glass stone there is a commemorative token that my wife and I left there, you help me to see if the token is still there, if the token is there, send the token to me, If you don't have it, give me the glass stone, you must give it to me yourself, and you are not allowed to check it in.

Remember, this is a promise you made to me. ”

Without waiting for Rhett's approval, Andy strode away, leaving Rhett alone in stunned place.

As night falls, the sky is getting dark, the dark clouds are gathering on the horizon, and a thunderstorm is coming.

Andy laundered money to the warden as usual, he had just won for him last week, and it was raining again tonight, so the warden didn't take him to the casino to gamble, so he gave Andy a chance to escape from prison.

After making the account for the warden, when the warden opened the safe, Andy secretly changed the warden's notebook, which contained evidence of the warden's withdrawal of money and bills for the money won back at the casino.

Later, Andy deliberately lost a few handfuls when he won money for the warden, which was regarded as revenge for him by killing the person who knew that he was hacked and imprisoned, went to the casino four times, and lost once, so the warden didn't win much, and he didn't dare to win too much, and he couldn't have too much money in his account, too much would cause suspicion from his superiors, so his money was almost kept separately, a little every day, and the rest of the bills were put in the safe.

This unstained money should belong to Andy now, he has done so much for the warden, and he will make up for it tonight, and this money is enough for the rest of his life, and enough to realize his dream of a hotel and a boat. (To be continued.) )
