Chapter 6: Brother Wang's Story
When I returned to the team, Brother Wang asked me to rest, and he went to the kitchen to cook. We can't do without people, so every team in the office is like home, and there are all kinds of daily utensils. Brother Wang claims to take the people-friendly route, and often cooks and stir-fries a few dishes to share with us and other small people.
I sat on the couch, listening to the sounds in the kitchen, watching TV, this familiar feeling made me a little uncomfortable, and it was here that all the stories began, and it was from this position that I watched Liu climb out of the window backwards at night more than a month ago.
If it weren't for this incident, many things would be better than now, Old Man Liu might not have died so soon, and Liu Shifu would not have been sentenced. The worst is Brother Wang, don't look at his happy appearance now, in fact, there is such a thing as escaping in his prison area, and the number one can't turn over for at least five years, at his age, in five years, if it's good, he will eventually be promoted one level less, and he may even stand still until he retires.
In comparison, I am the luckiest one, although I was a little injured, but after all, I made a meritorious service.
Just now Brother Wang said that there is a story in this, could it be that this kind of thing has happened before? So where did the monsters come from? Did it crawl out of the ground?
I suddenly thought of a possibility, in the earliest days, the police clothes were similar to the military uniform, could it be that the person in the underground hut was the policeman of our unit? When I think of this section, I feel that the hairs on my back stand up, if this is really the case, then this prison may not be built here as simple as mining! There may be a huge secret hidden here!
Thinking about how time flies, Brother Wang came in with a few plates of black dishes and put them on the coffee table.
I was taken aback, Brother Wang's skills are good again, and he began to make braised dishes, although the appearance is not very good, and the taste is not necessarily bad, but I can't raise the slightest courage to move chopsticks.
Brother Wang put down the dishes and brought over another bottle of wine like a whirlwind!
I saw that this was going to be opened! Hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang, this is not good, you can't drink alcohol in prison!" ”
"Why not, it's not that we are not on duty today, we are now locked up in confinement, we can't go out to drink and we can't drink in the confinement room!" Brother Wang's eyes were wide, and the reason was very good!
"You're at least hiding, right? Just drinking in the office in such a bright light? ”
Brother Wang thought for a while, "Yes, let's go to the escort room!" ”
I helped Zhang Luo, the two of them sat down and started the wine, I was thinking about the story that Brother Wang was going to tell, and I was absent-minded about drinking, and after a while, I was drunk, and my eyes became hazy, and at this moment, Brother Wang turned around and talked about the story of the year!
The story takes place in the sixties of the last century, when the mining facilities were not developed and there were few policemen, often one or two policemen went down the mine with dozens of prisoners and worked shirtless with the prisoners.
At that time, the mine was still developed on the basis of the ancient mine road, which crisscrossed and extended in all directions, and no one could tell where the tunnel under his feet could lead. The prisoners were deeply terrified of these old tunnels, and countless strange stories circulated among the prisoners. Coupled with the fact that strange bones are dug out of the tunnels from time to time, these stories seem even more true, and there must be two prisoners who are so frightened that they can't slow down for a month or two.
There was a policeman named Liu Weixing, who had to be about 50 years old at the time, although he was old, but he was very strong, and that day he and a young man named Zhang Guoqing led two prisoners down the well to check the line, and they accidentally broke into such an ancient tunnel.
The rest of the story became vague, and no one was able to explain what happened to them underground, but it was certain that they had met an old dog down there!
I don't know who threw this old dog in such an ancient tunnel, and when they found it, the old dog was already skinny and skinny, and his body was losing hair everywhere!
Maybe they were moved by compassion, maybe they had the idea of killing, anyway, they came into contact with the dog, and all four of them were bitten!
Although the process is unknown, they eventually escaped back to the surface. In the narrative afterwards, I knew that the lights at that time suddenly went out, and then they were attacked, and the four people were full of wounds from the bite of wild beasts, and the least injured was Liu Weixing!
At that time, rabies had just begun to be taken seriously, but the rabies vaccine had not yet been promoted.
This is probably also a feature of our prisons, where inmates always enjoy slightly better medical care and living standards than ordinary people.
Unfortunately, there are only three sets of vaccines, but four people are injured. The prison is located in the mountains, and the transportation was very underdeveloped at that time, although I got in touch with my superiors in time and received support from my superiors, I don't know how long I had to wait until the vaccine arrived!
Liu Weixing was very conscious, he knew the news in advance, and offered to let the two prisoners and young comrades be vaccinated first, saying that he was old and not so active, and maybe he was starved to death by himself before the rabies virus started! Those three men are still young, and their lives are still very long, and they cannot be buried in this matter.
The prison leaders had no choice but to accede to his request and vaccinate the three men. At the same time, he was ready to repay Liu Weixing.
Before the gong was reported, Liu Weixing fell ill, and when he led the prisoners to eat again, he suddenly foamed at the mouth, went berserk, and injured several prisoners, and somehow became extremely powerful, and no one could control it. Seeing that he was about to die, the police on duty shot and injured him in the leg and couldn't control him, so he had no choice but to shoot him dead!
This kind of thing is not surprising, in the history of prisons, in order to avoid the expansion of accidents, it is not uncommon for strong men to break their wrists and deal with them at the same time, I don't know how many policemen have fallen under the guns of their own people in order to protect the peace of their families and countries.
Later, when the three learned of the incident, they wept bitterly and repented, and the two prisoners changed their past mistakes and made their own achievements after being released from prison. And Zhang Guoqing had another encounter.
Liu Weixing's hometown is far away, no one knows where it is, he lost his wife in his early years, and he was transferred to our unit to work in his forties. At this time, this kind of thing happened, and the family members in the unit who didn't know where to notify had to appoint Zhang Guoqing to clean up the aftermath for Liu Weixing on behalf of the unit.
This Zhang Guoqing is a typical northern man, usually enthusiastic and capable, very righteous, after Liu Weixing happened to this incident, Zhang Guoqing cried darkly, but after all, people can not be resurrected, the young man applied to the unit to take care of his funeral. The unit couldn't find Liu Weixing's family, so it agreed.
At that time, the prison conditions were extremely difficult, the police were not staffed, and there were many people who did not have a meal, so there was a rule that prisoners were not allowed to eat food. This Liu Weixing also has no long things, Zhang Guoqing packed up the hut with four walls, and buried a little relic along with the ashes on the mountain.
originally thought that this matter was over, but no one expected that after a long time, Zhang Guoqing suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he went.
After Brother Wang finished telling the story, he sighed, poured himself a cup and drained it in one gulp.
As I listened, I saw that he was no longer talking, and hurriedly asked, "What happened later?" ”
"Later?" Brother Wang squinted at me, "Later, all the ancient tunnels were sealed, and then all the tunnels were sealed!" ”
"Nonsense, of course I know, didn't you say there was no mine?"
"I know and ask! You've drunk too much, haven't you? ”
Brother Wang fell asleep after saying this, I looked at him and laughed dumbly, this comrade is so stylish, he comes when he talks about wine, and he often gets drunk suddenly and unreservedly.
I looked at him for a while, shook my head and walked to the window, the smog outside the window was getting thicker, and I couldn't even close the window, and the wisps squeezed into the room, and there was a choking smell everywhere.
The story told by Brother Wang is still swirling in my head, and I think the focus of this story is Liu Weixing's illness and death and Zhang Guoqing's disappearance, not a mad dog in the tunnel! But why did the prison finally react by sealing the tunnel?
I suddenly felt that the prison, which I had thought I knew so well for several years, had suddenly become mysterious, like a haze outside the window, and I could not see the real thing in it, but I could drown in it.
