3:16 p.m.

In a brightly colored office on the top floor of the Inner Fort, Warden Jones and his butler Peter sat on the balcony drinking afternoon tea, while a black cat lay on the table, munching on a piece of bread with meat.

He loved these kittens and dogs far more than ordinary noblewomen, and even invited a realist oil painting master to paint portraits of his cats and dogs and hang them in his office.

There was a jailer who was too late to play a game and forgot to bring dinner to his hound, Cassie, and for a week he was not seen to eat.

"Greedy little one......" Jones touched the black cat's head, a kind smile on his face.

At the age of thirty-eight, he sat in this position, in addition to the huge background behind him, his own ability is even more difficult to ignore.

"It's raining again." Peter the butler looked out the window at the rain and sighed.

Jones smiled indifferently and said, "It's just a drizzle." ”

"Light rain always turns to heavy rain." The housekeeper said sadly.

Jones beckoned to the maid next to him, who understood him very well, and obediently handed over a fluff jacket, "Is it a pain in the spine again, put it on." Jones handed the padded jacket to the butler.

The housekeeper Peter hurriedly got up and thanked him, and after putting on his fluffy cotton jacket, he sighed and said: "Every time the rainy season comes, the old problems are committed, and they can't be changed." ”

Jones smiled slightly, and at this moment, a slender woman walked briskly from outside, approached him and whispered a few words in his ear. Hearing her words, the smile on Jones's face slowly disappeared little by little, he nodded slightly, looked at the light rain outside the window, and said softly: "You are right, light rain will always cause heavy rain." ”

The butler noticed the expression on his face and asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

"One of the prisoners ran away." Jones said softly: "It's the little guy from three years ago, just now the jailer came with the news that he has left the cell, and there is a pit and tunnel inside the cell, and he has escaped from the prison by digging the tunnel." ”

"Prison break?" The butler was a little surprised, "He has tools?" Outside is the lake, where to escape from prison? ”

"It must have been a tool that I stole while working, dug through the entire bottom of the lake, and ran out of the bottom of the lake." Jones looked out the window, lightly tapped his finger on the table, and said, "The radius of our lake should be more than three hundred meters." ”

The housekeeper's face was full of shock, and he said, "Dig out a channel at the bottom of the entire lake? This, how is this possible, where did he move the soil to such a long passage? ”

The slender woman next to her said respectfully: "I heard the jailer say that the mud was brought into the cell by him, and it was fooled on the wall and the ground, because it was so evenly smeared, it was not noticed by the jailer in the dim light, and when the jailer entered, he saw that the walls and the floor were far higher than the other cells. ”

The housekeeper was stunned and speechless.

Jones raised his hand and stroked the black cat on the table that was still nibbling on the meat filling in the bread, the black cat ignored their conversation and concentrated on eating, he gently stroked the fluff on the cat's body, and said softly: "Pass the wanted warrant, and in addition, notify the Black Cavalry to dispatch and immediately track down the whereabouts of the criminal." ”

"Yes." The slender woman said yes and turned to retreat.

"Wait." Jones stopped him, but his eyes were still looking at the black cat in his hand kindly, and he said softly: "The person in charge of delivering food to it in the last week, let them accompany Cassie." ”

The slender woman's cold hair stood on end slightly, tensed her body in agreement, and then quickly turned to leave.

After she left, the housekeeper Peter was still a little unable to come back to his senses, and couldn't help but say: "The structure of our prison should be flawless, even outside the excrement dung, there is a jailer on duty, how can he escape." ”

Jones shook his head slightly, and said: "There is no defect, perhaps the biggest flaw, this prison is built at the bottom of the lake, the wall is too thick, we have always thought that no one would be stupid enough to chisel such a thick wall, not to mention that the outside is the bottom of the lake, other prisoners also think so, but this is a misunderstanding, the wall is not necessary to be chiseled, the thickness of the wall, so that this little guy in the wall passage, no one hears the vibration, this is the biggest advantage of our prison, but now it is also the biggest drawback." ”

The housekeeper was silent and sighed: "If this is the case, this time it can be regarded as a reminder to us, the strong prison causes the jailers to relax their vigilance, too careless, if they often check the posts by name, they will never let a person dig a passage of hundreds of meters to escape from the prison, and the round-trip time in between can expose him." ”

Jones nodded slightly, "Fortunately, it's just the little guy on the first floor." After speaking, he patted the black cat on the table and said with a smile: "Greedy guy, let's play while you're full." ”

……

……

In the northern part of the slum, on a desolate and remote street, there is a small factory.

Dudian bought some food from the roadside tavern, hired a carriage to come here, and by the time the carriage arrived, the food he had bought had already been eaten in the carriage, and the fatigue of the days suddenly disappeared, and his body regained some strength.

After getting out of the carriage, Dudian glanced at the small factory, and was about to enter, when he saw a notice hanging outside the factory, which turned out to be his own wanted notice.

"After only one night, the wanted notice came here, and the efficiency was quite fast." Dudian's eyes flickered slightly, he didn't avoid it, he still walked to the front of the factory, and said to the old man doorman inside: "I'll find a few people, named Barton, Kroon, Joseph, ......"

The old man raised his eyes listlessly, glanced at Du Dian, and said, "They are at work, what are you looking for them?" ”

Dudian took out three copper coins from his pocket and handed them to him, saying, "Help me get them out, and say that their old friends have come to visit them." ”

When the old man saw the copper coin, he suddenly woke up from his previous sleepy appearance, put away the copper coin with a smile, and said, "Okay, you wait here, I'll call you." ”

With that, turn around and leave.

Du Di waited quietly beside him, it was normal for the old man not to recognize him as the person on the wanted notice, he had tied up his hair at the moment, which was far from the appearance of the cloaked hair on the wanted notice, in the past three years, although the jailer often tortured the prisoner, but he did not have a deep impression of the prisoner's face, after all, he had not combed for a long time, he was often covered by his hair, and no one was interested in remembering a mortal face.

Therefore, the person painted with the impression of the jailer on this is completely different from his actual appearance, although there is also a portrait of him when he was first imprisoned, revealing his delicate facial features, but in the past three years, his appearance has changed greatly, you know, the most rapid stage of a person's growth is when he was ten to sixteen years old, and now he is completely different from the childish and delicate appearance on his face before, growing up in torture, pain and hunger, his face is thinner, and his eyebrow bones are high, although he is only sixteen years old now, But there is a bit of maturity and cold temperament.

What's more, he still has evenly smeared coals on his face, and even acquaintances have to stare carefully for a long time to see some familiar outlines.

After a few moments, the old man returned, followed by four figures, Barton, Kroon, Joseph, and Barry. Three years have passed, and the appearance of the four of them has changed greatly, but Du Dian still recognizes them at a glance.

When the four of them saw Du Dian at the door, their faces showed a little doubt, and they stepped forward and said, "Are you?" ”

Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "Follow me to abandon the factory." ”

"Abandoned factory?" As soon as the four of them heard these words, they were taken aback, and immediately showed a look of surprise, and Barton said excitedly: "You're finally back, ...... Di."

Du Dian raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Follow me first." ”

Barton was stunned, suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he didn't say anything more.

The other three looked at each other, and Barry hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say anything.

Seeing that the four of them were about to leave with Du Di'an, the old man hurriedly said, "It's still working time, where are you four going, don't you want a salary?" ”

Barton said, "Uncle, you can help us take a leave." ”

"I can't help with that." The old man immediately shook his head and refused.

Du Dian said to the four: "I don't want the work here, come with me." ”

The four of them looked at each other, vaguely guessed something, and didn't say anything more.

The old man looked at Du Dian in amazement and said, "Boy, what do you say, if they leave, two months' salary will be gone." ”

Dudian ignored him and turned to leave.

The four immediately followed.

Moments later, Dudian and the four returned to the abandoned factory in the middle of nowhere.

"Dean, what the hell is going on, why are you wanted, where have you been in the past three years, the wanted warrant says that you are a heinous criminal, what crime have you committed, is it murder? I don't believe that even if I kill by mistake, it's not a heinous crime. As soon as he arrived at the abandoned factory, Barton asked eagerly, his face full of concern.

Dudian's gaze swept over the faces of several people one by one, and when he saw a faint worry on Barry's face, a slight light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said to several people: "The wanted warrant is right, I didn't commit a crime before, but now it's starting to be different." He looked at the four of them and said, "Are you willing to do something great with me?" ”

The four of them looked at each other, and Kroon asked in a low voice, "Was it before?" ”

Du Dian smiled slightly, shook his head lightly and said, "Bigger things." ”

The four of them looked at each other, and they all saw the hesitation on each other's faces, Barry's expression was complicated, and he said: "Dean, otherwise, let's stop, it's good to live an ordinary life like this, we work every day now, although it's hard, but we can also get food and clothing." ”

Du Dian glanced at him, his expression unchanged, and said to the other three, "What about you?" ”

Kroon said worriedly: "Although we want to help you, but now that you are wanted, once exposed, it will be over." ”

Barton didn't speak, he kept staring at Dudian, and after Cloon finished speaking, he suddenly said: "Dean, no matter what you do, I will follow you, I said, my life is given by you, even if you let me rob, I will go!" ”

Dudian glanced at him, a smile on his face.

"Me too." Joseph gritted his teeth and said: "I said at the beginning, I don't want to live the days of eating the last meal and not having the next meal, although I find a job in the factory, but what do others think of us?" Contempt, disgust, I've had enough of it a long time ago! ”

Kroon and Barry were stunned and fell silent.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Barton said angrily: "Dean is wanted now, and it is the time to be isolated, are you just watching Dean being wanted?!" ”

Kroon gritted his teeth slightly and said, "I don't want to, but with just a few of us, what can we do?" Can Dean's wanted warrant be revoked? ”

Barton was stunned and said angrily: "Even if it doesn't work, now that Dean needs help, but you have retreated, how can you be worthy of Dean taking you out of the orphanage in the first place?" ”

The two of them looked ugly and were speechless.

Du Dian glanced at them and said, "You don't have to have any psychological burden, I said, I brought you out to repay your kindness in taking care of me at the beginning, if you want to live a peaceful life, you can leave now, but I hope you better not expose the things here." ”

When the two heard Du Di'an's words, they lowered their heads, Cruen clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn, I'm out of the way, it's a big deal to fight, anyway, I'm fed up with the ridicule of those fools." ”

Barry suddenly prostrate on the ground and said, "Dean, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I can't do it, I already have someone I like, I just want to live a peaceful life, I hope you can forgive me, I promise, I will never say anything about here." ”

Du Di'an's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly: "Okay, I wish you happiness, go ahead." ”

Barry raised his hand to wipe away his tears, not daring to look at Barton and the others, and turned away without looking back.

Dudy quietly looked at his departing back, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
