Chapter 371: Survival in the Cell

This aunt has big eyes, long eyelashes, and a little upturned nose, which looks a little playful, such an aunt should be so charming in adolescence.

Of course, this aunt is not necessarily a kidnapper. In Peshawar, taking in meat tickets and helping kidnapping organizations to restrict their activities is an ordinary professional act, and they don't necessarily know the kidnappers, but they just take the money to do things. However, these people are not innocent, they are also the executors of evil.

"Puff puff", An Feng finally let out a few farts in a row, and the middle-aged aunt immediately let go of An Feng, with a relieved smile, and encouraged: "You take a walk by yourself, if you feel tired, walk slowly, if you don't want to exercise anymore, then walk back to your room." ”

An Feng raised his face, looked at the sky near the small courtyard, and smiled bitterly: "I've been lying down for too long, please let me walk for a while." ”

The small courtyard where An Feng is located is the same farm compound nearby, only one floor of a bungalow, looking out through the square courtyard wall, there is no taller building nearby, it seems that the tallest building in this area is the small courtyard where An Feng is located.

The small courtyard is square, the courtyard gate is located on the side of the front, and the shadow wall is facing the entrance from the courtyard gate, and you must turn 90 degrees to continue to enter the courtyard along the narrow corridor.

The main house of the compound is a two-story building, but the people in the small courtyard usually do not go to the roof, which is probably the local custom - not to look down on the courtyards of other houses from a high place.

The courtyard wall of the small courtyard is very high, about three meters six, the courtyard wall is made of stone, and the top is hung with barbed wire, and it is not easy to climb over it with bare hands.

The main house of the small courtyard and several side rooms next to it form an L-shape, and the shadow wall of the gate and the L-shaped house building form a U-shaped patio, in which An Feng walked around.

The patio is not wide, about seven meters from the entrance of the main house to the shadow wall, and about ten meters from the door of the wing house to the courtyard wall on the other side. The floor of the patio is paved with cement, and the whole patio is bare, with no trees, no flowers, no motorcycles, donkey carts, etc., which looks very clean and tidy.

The ceilings of the buildings in the courtyard are very high, and the side wings are more than three meters from the roof to the ground, and although the main house is a two-story building, the highest roof is only five meters high, and strictly speaking, the second floor of the main house is just a small attic.

The main house is inhabited by the owner's family: a couple, three sons and a daughter. The couple are both in their thirties, with the eldest son about fifteen years old and the youngest daughter only four years old.

After the woman retreated, An Feng moved his hands and feet, so the woman continued to retreat, until she retreated to the door of the main house, and then, the owner of the courtyard appeared in the attic on the second floor, he took two steps in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun kept moving with An Feng, and the eldest son of the family pinned a pistol in his waist, carried a rubber rod in his hand, and walked out of the door of the main house, he went around the corner of the wall to the exit of the shadow wall, and stared at An Feng fiercely with both hands behind his back.

An Feng looked down at his body, he had been changed into a suit trousers, and the upper body was a round-necked shirt with local characteristics, and in the center of the collar shirt was a blue almond flower fabric.

The belt on the waist is made in Pakistan, and the leather shoes on the feet are also made in Pakistan, and An Feng hasn't had time to see the socks yet, but presumably like this clothing, they are all cheap goods sold in the local market - maybe they are wholesaled from Wenzhou Mall.

The middle-aged woman who retreated to the door spoke: "My name is Nadanmu, today is your first activity, I think you can go back and communicate with your fellow inmates, you will be more aware of your situation." ”

An Feng suddenly woke up, Na Danmu actually spoke English, spoke well, and his pronunciation was very standard.

It is not surprising that Pakistanis speak English, as a former British colony, English is also one of their official languages, and with the fact that every hill here is a tribe, there are many languages, and there are countless dialect slang, but English has become the best language for public communication.

However, education in Pakistan ...... If people here want to understand English, and if they want to have such a standard of English, they need to at least go to a regular school, and Peshawar has strong anti-Western sentiment and has no relevant foreign language education. The Nadammu in front of her must be an outsider, it is estimated that she is a translator hired by the kidnappers, and she must have been a graduate of a prestigious Pakistani school before.

An Feng walked around the courtyard a few times, and when Na Danmu saw An Feng regaining his dexterity, she urged in a crisp voice: "Okay, No. 3, it's time for you to go back to the room." ”

An Feng's gaze quickly swept over the three people in the courtyard, he nodded silently, and let the child with the baton escort him into the side wing.

The architectural layout of the side chamber is that of a living cell, with an iron fence door open, and inside is a long corridor, opposite which is a single cell separated by an iron fence, with a single bed, a small table, and a plastic stool.

The sink and toilet bowls are complete, yet all of these appliances are fixed to the wall. The toilet is specially made, not connected to the ground, the bed and the small board table have no legs, just a board fixed on the wall, the stool in front of the small board table is also fixed on the wall, usually retracted, the stool will be attached to the wall, open and fold when used, and a board becomes the surface of the stool.

The swivel handle of the faucet is round, and the swivel handle is very small, which is not very useful even if it is disassembled.

The only fortunate thing is that there are no surveillance devices in the cell, so the inmates in the cell can talk freely as long as the guard is not there.

This side room was divided into five cells, and now only three cells are occupied, and after An Feng, known as No. 3, entered cell No. 3, the prisoners in cell No. 1 were taken out, and he was given five minutes to let go.

When the big iron door of the wing room slammed shut, the prisoner in the next cell No. 2 couldn't wait to speak: "Hi, I'm Van Dracus, Italian, what do you call me?" ”

An Feng replied calmly: "Volkin." ”

"You don't have a surname, what's your last name, is it Volgin or is your name Volkin?"

"It's just Volkin."

"Oh, I see, so your name is kept secret, so you're an important prisoner - did they tell you how much the ransom was?"

An Feng shook his head slightly, and the second prisoner immediately sighed: "That's bad, they may pay a high price, a high price that your family can't afford, in this case, you may have to be imprisoned for a long time...... Forgot to ask, are you lucky French? ”

"No, I'm Ukrainian."

"Ukraine?! Oh no, Ukraine is not the worst country, but it is also very bad for the kidnapping incident - it is said that Ukraine is pro-Western, took the United States' proposition, and does not make deals with the kidnappers. ”

An Feng fell silent.

The other party refused to give up and said to himself: "You know, our country was originally the same as France, insisting that the government could not protect taxpayers, which is the government's failure to take responsibility." And we were kidnapped, or were we kidnapped by organizations in other countries, and the theory was that the government did not protect its own taxpayers, and they should pay this ransom. But...... I'm Italian, poor Italian.

Since the fall of the Roman Empire, our Italians have become adept at obedience, and they have not had the arrogance of the Gallic roosters, and have begun to succumb to the pressure of the Americans, unwilling to pay ransoms to the terrorists. The bad thing is that the ransom amount offered by the kidnappers is something my family can't pay, so I'm locked up here.

Guess what, I've been locked up for a few years? ”

An Feng shook his head slightly, and the other party continued to say to himself: "Three years! I've been locked up for three years. I can't remember the exact dates, but I do know that they have passed Eid al-Adha three times, Ramadan three times...... You know the guy next door to me has been locked up for a few years, he's been locked up for seven years, and that guy is almost stupid, well, if he says something stupid, you have the right to think you didn't hear it. ”

After a pause, Prisoner No. 2 saw that An Feng still did not answer, and he immediately asked curiously: "What do you do, what is your profession?" I'm a banker, a very good banker, what is your profession? ”

An Feng replied as briefly as squeezing toothpaste: "Major." ”

The other party immediately jumped up from the bed and looked up at An Feng, who was circling in the cell: "Soldier, and it's a major...... Salute, my major, I can count on you for the rest of the day. ”

An Feng's added sentence made the No. 2 prisoner almost spurt out a mouthful of old blood, only to hear An Feng answer: "Clerical." ”

The other party was choked by this sentence, but he immediately looked up at An Feng, who was tall and sturdy, and said very steadily: "Okay, although it is a civilian, flies are also meat, so you have this big guy."

Listen to me, this small courtyard goes out, it is a larger courtyard, the houses on the opposite side are only five meters away from us, our row of houses and the opposite row of houses have a total of about 20 houses, the two bungalows form a separate, closed road, there is a gate outside the road, the gate is usually closed, and from the gate is the street.

The whole street is an enlarged version of this lane, with countless identical gates forming portals arranged on both sides of the road, and the front and back of the road end in stone gates that resemble the Arc de Triomphe......

It is said that this large ring of small rings, enlarged and fortified residential buildings was born in the Mughal dynasty of Babur the Great, and was designed to prevent the invasion of the Pashtuns and Persians, and it is said that it was well protected against powerful foreign enemies......"

Prisoner No. 2 paused slightly, and let out a long sigh: "I have escaped three times, but they have all captured them, every household here is a kidnapper, almost every family has a meat ticket, and it is very difficult to escape from here." ”

This sentence still did not get An Feng's response, so No. 2 continued to add: "If you want to carry out a search and rescue operation and attack such a lifang, I am afraid that you will have to mobilize an army, and it must be above the regimental level." ”

When the five-minute release time came, the large iron door of the wing room made the sound of the key turning, and then Prisoner No. 1 appeared, and he silently and obediently walked into Cell No. 1, sitting on the bed with blank eyes, oblivious to the departure of Prisoner No. 2.

During the period of being tied up, the meat tickets will not get a chance to get a haircut, and it is impossible for the prisoners to obtain sharp objects such as blades, and there are no toothbrushes in the cells here, and the prisoners can only gargle on the faucet, and of course it is impossible to take a bath, so the No. 1 and No. 2 prisoners who have been imprisoned for a long time are all long-haired and bearded, although the smell on their bodies is not strong, and although the clothes look quite neat, the overall image is sloppy.

I don't know if An Feng has been imprisoned for a long time, if he is like them.

Prisoner No. 1 was silent for about a minute, lying on his bed looking up at the ceiling, and suddenly said to himself, "Are you strong-willed?" ”

An Feng replied unconsciously: "Very firm." ”

Number One then asked, "Have they found out who you are?" ”

"Very clear."

"Don't you have anything to hide?"

An Feng smiled bitterly: "It was an acquaintance who betrayed me, and she explained my details clearly." ”

No. 1 sighed: "That group of old turtles still can't play with the monitoring equipment, I have checked it repeatedly, there are no monitors in the cell, there are no eavesdroppers, we can talk with confidence, but it is only five minutes a day." ”

An Feng swept the empty No. 2 cell and immediately asked, "Isn't the No. 2 prisoner credible?" ”

"I think he's going crazy."

"In that case, it is possible that he will informe the guards and then make a deal with the guards to reduce the amount of his ransom."

Prisoner No. 1 calmly replied, "Yes." ”

An Feng was silent for a moment and asked, "What should I call you?" ”

"No need for superfluous titles, you just call me number one."

An Feng returned to his bed, lay down calmly, thought about it, and confessed: "Major Volkin, a civilian officer in Ukraine. ”

The other party was silent for more than ten seconds, and then said with a little disappointment: "Oh, civilian officer, I see that your body is very fit, and I thought you were a ......."

"I'm nothing, just a computer programmer."

One sighed in disappointment, and then quickly added, "Number 2 is a keen traveler, and he just talked about Babur the Great of the Mughal dynasty...... What are your thoughts on this? ”

An Feng was silent, and at this time, the door of the wing room rang again, No. 1 closed his mouth and stopped talking, An Feng quickly whispered: "This time it was the capital of the Kushan Empire and the Mughal Dynasty, the center of the world's arms black, and the city of abduction - Peshawar in Pakista. ”

When No. 2 returned to the cell, An Feng said calmly: "Go on, tell me which country you are from?" ”

This sentence is obviously not the topic just now, just now No. 1 vaguely implied that he did not tell the kidnappers his true identity, and refused to disclose the details of his identity, An Feng also asked this, he wanted to deliberately mislead the No. 2 prisoner.

No. 1 obviously understood An Feng's meaning, he didn't speak, and the No. 2 prisoner chattered in: "Oh, you don't know, this guy is the lucky Frenchman, he is a French tourist, his government has been negotiating, ready to pay a ransom to ransom this guy, but unfortunately the two sides have not reached an agreement so far, and the focus of disagreement is mainly that the French government still has objections to whether he is alive or not, and it is difficult to be sure of the means to hand him over."

But anyway, this guy is lucky, no matter what the ransom demanded by those people, as long as the two sides negotiate, this guy will eventually be released from prison smoothly, and as for us, our days of freedom are still far away. ”

The door of the wing room rang again, and the child appeared with three pots of rice just now, and the middle-aged aunt followed behind.

The rice bowl used for the people to eat was made of wood, and even the rice spoon was also made of wood, and the food inside was as black as paste, and there was no material to be seen.

This time, neither the caretaker nor the aunt left the corridor, and the child watched the three prisoners finish their meal and asked if anyone wanted to add food. During this period, No. 2 kindly reminded An Feng that even if he had no appetite, he should try to eat as much as possible, because everyone would have to eat this kind of meal for a long time, and in the days of imprisonment in the future, everyone would basically eat this kind of pig food.

After eating, the guards left, and An Feng ignored the gaze of his companions and began to walk around the cell. This time, he waved his arms and legs as he walked, and when he felt his limbs move, he began to use the simple iron bars and iron frames of the cell to perform the seven-minute exercise method in a grand manner. For this strange way of exercising, Number One looked in the eye, his eyes flashed, and Number Two chattered about the reason for each movement.

"Ah, there is such a strange way to exercise, I only have five minutes a day to breathe the outside air for the past three years, my muscles have been decadent, I don't know if I have the courage to run away again."

No. 1 finally spoke, and in the private conversation just now, No. 1's voice was very clear and firm, and No. 1's voice was very hoarse this time, and he asked with difficulty: "Is this exercise method advocated in the Ukrainian army?" ”

An Feng was doing a handstand by the wall, he panted and said: "Oh no, this is customized by Google for its own office employees, it has been proven by countless doctors and kinesiology experts, it is said that this exercise method is most suitable for office clerks, because it can use their own weight and wall in the shortest possible time to achieve the strongest exercise effect." ”

An Feng stood up from the wall with his head on his head, and he then added: "This is what I found on the Internet, and about the whole world knows this workout method. ”

No. 1 and No. 2's eyes showed a look of fascination: "The whole world, what has become of the world now, what news is there outside, and who are the presidents of various countries now?" ”

The conversation then began, the two prisoners incarcerated in the cell were very unfamiliar with the outside world, and the outside world was changing rapidly, and in the past three to five years, the knowledge of the whole world has developed explosively, there are endless new things, and new stars have appeared every year.

In the early morning of the next day, the young guard held a gun to protect Na Danmu to deliver breakfast, when Na Danmu handed An Feng breakfast, he did not let go, the two of them each held one side of the wooden bowl, Na Danmu stared at An Feng's eyes, and asked: "Someone asked me to ask you: Are you willing to obey?" If you wish, then you will immediately end this imprisonment, otherwise, you will be locked up until old death. And during this time, you have no internet, no telephone, no letters, no television, no radio.

You know, there will be an order to transfer your roommate, and from then on, you will be the only one in the whole cell, and if you want to talk and talk in the future, you can only say it to yourself. He panted and said, "Oh no, this is customized by Google for its own office employees, it has been proven by countless doctors and kinesiology experts, it is said that this exercise method is most suitable for office clerks, because it can use their own weight and walls in the shortest time to achieve the strongest workout effect." ”

An Feng stood up from the wall with his head on his head, and he then added: "This is what I found on the Internet, and about the whole world knows this workout method. ”

No. 1 and No. 2's eyes showed a look of fascination: "The whole world, what has become of the world now, what news is there outside, and who are the presidents of various countries now?" ”
