Chapter 5: Fugitives

Zhu Xiaohua got up, and the other young men and women were panicked with sickles to cut wheat.

Two men pretended to be harvesting wheat, but they did not have sickles in their hands, and the wheat did not fall.

"What are you two doing, your tools of labor?"

One of the fighters asked sternly.

"I don't remember where I put my sickle when I had breakfast just now."

"Could it be that Brother Huo took it?"

Brother Huo?

Everyone's hearts trembled.

Where did the cell boss and the bully in this prison work for a day?

What does he want a scythe for?

"Come here!"

In the wheat field in the distance, a soldier suddenly shouted.

Everyone ran over and saw Huo Ge lying in the wheat field, with two sickles under his pillow, covered in blood.

Niu Jiefang looked at the sickle carefully and said, "Hey, isn't this my labor tool, why is it here?" ”

He suddenly slapped his head and said as if he had come to his senses: "I remember, when I got up in the morning, I cut half of the wheat, and it was time for breakfast." brought breakfast to everyone, and ran to ask Zhu Xiaohua to feed the pigs, and the sickle was thrown here. ”

Another said, "Me too, when I saw that breakfast was coming, I threw down my sickle and went to eat." ”

Just now, Huo Ge was beating Zhu Xiaohua, when he suddenly heard a gunshot, and ran away. You know, getting caught fighting during the labor camp is a very serious crime.

Not wanting to be caught, he jumped wildly in the wheat field, stepping on the scythe on the ground as he fled, only to tripped himself and hit his head against another scythe......

The middle-aged soldier looked at Brother Huo, who was bleeding in the wheat field, his face sank, and said, "Stop working, everyone bring it back!" ”

Zhu Xiaohua took advantage of the opportunity for these people to go to see Brother Huo, and fell into the half-human-high wheat field.

The vast wheat fields stretch as far as the eye can see, and if someone hides in them, it will be really difficult to find them for a while.

He watched as the people working in the fields gathered in one place, turned and crawled in the opposite direction.

There were large and small gaps and ridges between the wheat fields, and these gaps and ridges were large enough for him to hide alone.

When the breeze blew and the wheat waves moved, Zhu Xiaohua moved quickly on the ridge with the direction of the wind.

He had to find a way to get out.

Brother Huo opened his mouth and asked him to give him one hundred and thirty yuan at a time, but Zhu Xiaohua, who was on the farm, was penniless at all.

If you go back like this, you still have to keep fighting, and you will keep being collected by Huo Ge and Niu Jiefang and others.

He had to break out of this cycle of death.

Dozens of minutes later, he climbed to the edge of the wheat field, and the red brick houses of Jiazigou Farm were already blurred and invisible, leaving only a few tiny red dots.

He got up from the ridge, patted the dust all over his body, and cheered in the wind,

"I'm free!"

"Goodbye, this place."

In the farm compound, laborers are returning one after another.

Because the railing of the pigsty was destroyed by Huo Ge, the big pigs and the small pigs all jumped out of the pen and ran into the wheat field.

The farm improvised the organization to retrieve the pigs.

For a while, the labor campers and guards went in and out, making a mess, and no one noticed Zhu Xiaohua's departure.

It wasn't until nearly lunchtime that all the lost pigs were herded into the pigsty and everyone gathered in the farm compound.

Inside the red brick wall, more than 40 men and women stood in the open space in the middle of the courtyard.

A leader-like warrior stands on the steps to count the numbers.

The cow liberated the pigsty railing and was the last to step into the yard. He glanced around the crowd, counted them, and found that Zhu Xiaohua was missing.

"Report to the chief, except for Brother Huo, there should be only Zhu Xiaohua who has not come."

"Brother Huo has already laid down and will never use it again." Someone in the crowd sighed with regret.

On the one hand, Brother Huo is very good at martial arts and has a chivalrous demeanor, and everyone admires him very much, and even worships him.

On the other hand, Brother Huo, as the cell boss and prison bully here, usually suffers a lot for these people, and many people have been beaten and knocked by Brother Huo. They were both afraid and hated him.

On the steps, the warrior commander stopped counting the number of people, frowned, and his face suddenly became a little solemn. I thought to myself, the cell leader Huo Ge is dead, it is already messy enough, if someone escapes at this time, then the consequences are unimaginable......

"Sir, don't worry, Zhu Xiaohua is as timid as a mouse, if you let him run, he won't dare to run. Most of the time it's lost. ”

Niu Jiefang has been doing chores under Huo Ge for a long time, and observing words and emotions is his strength. He could see at a glance the chief's concern.

Someone in the crowd chimed in: "That's it, Zhu Xiaohua is a sick man, he often has a fever, and he walks crookedly, where can he run." ”

Everyone in the crowd began to discuss it word by word.

Since the big leader did not come, these crowds were leaderless, and they all stood in the courtyard, basking in the sun.

After waiting for nearly an hour, Zhu Xiaohua took the lead in coming out of the red brick building on the west side of the compound.

He was followed by Captain Xiao, a middle-aged warrior.

A soldier trotted over and announced: "Zhu Xiaohua just ran out of the farm and was found again." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Niu Jiefang couldn't believe his ears.

What, did Zhu Xiaohua really have the guts to escape?

It was as if he had eaten a fly, and as if he had been slapped in the face.

This cowardly Zhu Xiaohua, how dare he?

However, Niu Jiefang soon became happy.

I thought, Zhu Xiaohua ran away, and now he has been arrested, he still can't die?

"This kind of cowardice, just execute him!"

Niu Jiefang took the lead in instigating.

Others also chimed in: "Yes, if you dare to escape during the labor camp, you will be executed!" ”

Captain Xiao stood under the red brick wall of the compound, and behind him was a white-painted slogan: "Confess your sins and repent of your sins, and actively reform." He stood for a full two or three minutes.

Hearing these people's gossip, he frowned. Said loudly: "You have the final say here, or I have the final say." One by one, who gave you the power? ”

The soldiers on the steps immediately followed Captain Xiao's meaning and scolded: "You all fucking shut up for me!" ”

Niu Jiefang and the others found out that Captain Xiao was the bigger head, and immediately shut up. was insulted in public by the big leader, and they couldn't hang up on their faces, and they had to endure it.

Thinking of Captain Xiao's reprimand just now, they were all nervous.

Zhu Xiaohua glanced at Captain Xiao and returned to the team with his gaze determined.

As soon as he stood in the team, Niu Jiefang next to him took two steps back and changed positions with the guy behind.

Niu Jiefang was far away from Zhu Xiaohua, and said with a disgusted face: "I don't want to stand in a row with the fugitives." ”

Zhang Qing, a young man with an enamel cup, and Zhang Yang, a young man with a military kettle, also went to the back row.

The usual team is a row of four, but in the row where Zhu Xiaohua is, there are only two people, him and this guy in a tattered tunic suit.

The guy's clothes are full of holes, especially on his pants, and there is a big round patch on his buttocks, which is as big as his buttocks, and he is often laughed at.

The two of them are particularly conspicuous in the long line.

"You two are a couple, it's just right to stand in a row." Niu Jiefang said.
