The drizzle of rain did not stop from noon until dusk.

There was so much water in the crevices of the stone that every breath was a reminder of the dead silence in the prison.

Hua Rou curled up at the foot of the wall, looking at the foot sticking out of the dark corner with a wistful expression.

"I haven't combed my hair in a long time, can you give me a groom?"

In the darkness, the woman's voice was fluttering.

Hua Rou nodded: "Okay." ”

The woman crawled out of the shadows, and in the dim light, her previously clean face was covered with dust.

"I like braids, will you?" The woman sat down in front of her, looking up at the drip of air.

"No, but I'll braid it."

"Okay, that's it!"

Without a comb, Hua Rou could only use her fingers as a comb, but when she unwrapped and combed her hair, she found that the woman's hair was rusty and clumped.

"You...... How long have you been here? ”

"It's been three years."

"What?" Hua Rou was taken aback by the answer.

"It's been a long time, hasn't it?" The woman looked at the pores, and there was no bitterness or resentment on her face.

"And when can you get out?"

"I don't know."

Hua Rou was surprised again: "Isn't the torture hall a place to punish the people?" Isn't there a time limit for every punishment? ”

"That's not necessarily, basically people who are in hard prison don't want to go out again. Of course, you're different, she just throws you in and locks you up for a few days, and after three days, you'll be picked up and you'll get ...... Awards. ”

"Commendation?"

"That's right!" The woman turned her head to look at Hua Rou and smiled at her: "Don't look at you in a hard prison, but ...... The gains and losses are not at all what everyone thinks. ”

"Gain or loss? What are the gains and losses? Why do you know this? Hua Rou was full of questions.

The woman's smile was filled with bitterness: "Because, I used to be a person in the drug room!" ”

"Huh?"

"I was imprisoned here by your master, the director of the drug ward. You know why? ”

Hua Rou shook her head.

The woman stretched out her hand and pointed to the cell opposite: "Do you think they are pitiful?" ”

Hua Rou nodded immediately.

The woman's mouth pursed, as if disgusted, she turned back to look at the air hole and did not speak, Hua Rou saw that she was silent, so she silently continued to comb her hair.

"Listen up." I don't know how long it took, but the woman whispered, "Everyone who comes in has made a mistake...... I made a big mistake, and I was no exception. ”

Hua Rou's hand paused and continued to comb: "You, what mistake did you make?" ”

"I killed someone."

Hua Rou's body froze.

"She always bullied me, I put up with her for a long time, really long, but I couldn't bear it anymore, they beat me, scolded me, bullied me, I didn't fight back, but she actually scolded me for being a wild seed, scolded my mother for being a prostitute in the alley, I ...... Just kill her! ”

Hua Rou felt the tremor of the woman's body, and she didn't know if her excitement at the moment was because of hatred in her heart or regret.

"You...... Regret it? ”

"If I had known, I would have been locked up like this...... I'm not going to kill her, but now ......" The woman chuckled and reached out and touched her face, "I'll never get out of here again." ”

A tear fell from the woman's eyes, and a path of cleansing was made on her dusty face.

Hua Rou took a deep breath and continued to gently comb the woman's hair and braid her hair.

She knew what she should say at this time, but what to say?

Words of comfort, words of hope, words of cursing, whatever it is, at this moment, will only pale in this prison.

Hua Rou was silent, smoothed the woman's hair, braided the flowers, tied them, and then looked at the braided braids, she couldn't help touching them again and again.

"You like braids like that?"

Hua Rou's eyes moistened: "Well, when I was a child, every time I was born, my mother would braid me like this, but when I was older, I wouldn't braid it, I really wanted to." ”

"Then I must be looking good now." The woman touched her braids: "It's a pity that there is no mirror, I can't see it." ”

Hua Rou's mouth opened, not knowing how to answer and comfort, and the woman didn't seem to need her to say anything, she had silently crawled into the darkness, not even thanking her.

Hua Rou looked at the woman's foot exposed in the darkness, sighed softly, and then closed her eyes.

Mother, father, why is there no heat in my heart?

At the stomat, the water flow suddenly became a little stronger, and soon the rustling rain drifted in, with a biting cold.

It rained at night, and it was much heavier than during the day......

After a night of rain, the temperature in the prison was getting colder and colder.

Hua Rou, who was curled up and dazed, had to get up and stomp her feet to keep warm after being awakened by the cold, but when she raised her eyes, she found that something was shaking in front of her eyes in the darkness.

Hua Rou rubbed her eyes, fixed her eyes, and then rushed forward while shouting, "Come on!" Help me! ”

The rope was still dangling, and the woman had obviously just hanged herself.

Hua Rou pounced in a hurry, holding the woman's legs with both hands and sending them straight up, not to mention that she would be strangled to death, and shouted for help in her mouth, hoping that someone would come to help.

"You let go of me! Let me die! The belt of the trouser could not hold her neck, and the woman had to reach out and grab it, trying to break out of her legs, while emphasizing: "Let me die!" I want to be free......"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hua Rou was angry: "Just die casually, is it worthy of the life your father gave you?" As she spoke, she turned her head and continued to call: "Come on! ”

"What do you mean casually? You tell me, what's the point of me living? There is no light and no future here! ”

"Don't say that! There is always hope to get out alive! ”

"Nope! There is no hope at all! The woman's voice was sad: "I can only stay in this darkness forever!" I've been here for three years and twenty-seven days! One thousand one hundred and twenty-two days and nights, I was really desperate......"

The woman's voice carried tears of pain, and it ticked with sadness, ticking that there was no hope in life.

"No, you can't despair, if you ......" Hua Rou had an idea: "If it is really like what you said, I will be rewarded by the master, and I will beg her to let you out!" ”

"Really?" The woman's voice was angry, and her legs were not struggling.

"Of course it's true, I can swear!"

"I said, don't give hope to others, that will make people more desperate."

"Aren't you desperate? Then give me a chance, and give you a chance, and see if it will change? ”

The woman was silent, and at that moment Hua Rou felt that she saw her intention to survive, but in an instant she heard the woman's veto: "Don't dream, she won't agree." ”

"How do you know if you haven't tried?" Hua Rou shouted excitedly: "You're not her!" No one is static! ”

The air fell silent again, Hua Rou stubbornly held the woman's legs and tried to lift them up, even if her hands were sore and her back hurt, she didn't dare to relax a bit, she looked at the woman expectantly, and repeated over and over again: "Try it, okay?" Let's try it together, shall we? ”

The woman finally withdrew her head from her belt: "Let me down!" ”

Hua Rou saw that she was not looking for death, and immediately let go of her legs, and the woman fell to the ground, and a face full of tears was clearly facing Hua Rou's eyes: "What if...... I really have to be able to get out, my life is yours. ”

She spoke slowly and chokedly, but the words were powerful, full of her gamble and final expectations.

"I don't need your life. I just hope you don't give up hope. ”

The woman blinked: "You, is it right to call Hua Rou?" ”

"Hmm."

"My name is Yu'er, I'd rather be a broken jade than a complete jade, I ...... There is no last name. ”

Hearing this, Hua Rou reached out and took Yu'er's hand: "Trust me, you will go out." ”
