Chapter 10: Not a Grain Left
The cafeteria was packed, and there was a long queue at the pick-up window.
At the end of the day's work, most of the prisoners were chest-to-back, looking at the buckets of food in the window with green eyes.
Wu Xingzhi is also one of them, with the improvement of his physical fitness, he feels that his food is getting bigger and bigger, and at this time, he has temporarily forgotten about the system tasks in his mind, and just wants to feast.
To be honest, although the food in the prison canteen is poor, the portions are not small, after all, they need to meet the needs of the prisoners for a day's work.
The efficiency of the meal was very fast, and soon it was Wu Xingzhi's turn, the dinner was obviously more sumptuous than the lunch, not only was there one more dish than the noon, but Wu Xingzhi could see the shadow of meat in the dish with the naked eye.
Of course, that's all there is to it, and the prison can't afford to spend too much money on food.
The staple food is rice cereal and coarse bread, Wu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "Can you give me two more breads?" ”
For others, it is possible, but for himself now, Wu Xingzhi feels that he may not even be half-full after eating.
The old man who delivered the food glanced at him with an expressionless face: "The food is quota, if you want more, you can figure it out yourself." ”
Wu Xingzhi was not forced, and left with a plate.
After obtaining the system, he was thrown into this kind of place, which caused Wu Xingzhi's personality to change greatly in a short period of time, but in his bones, Wu Xingzhi still carried some of the characteristics of the ordinary person at the beginning.
You can be ruthless against your enemies, but there's no need to bully unrelated people just because you're strong.
The sense of superiority over the weak is meaningless and even repulsive.
Looking around, the cafeteria was almost full, and seeing that there was a table nearby and a vacant seat, Wu Xingzhi sat down directly.
"Boy, this is Andy's place, sit somewhere else!" Before the ass could sit firmly, a blonde man spoke directly.
Wu Xingzhi glanced at him, and then looked at the others at the table.
Obviously, this is a small circle, and there are various small circles of prisoners, and usually these people get together when they are having fun and eating, and in a place like a prison, whether it's huddle together for warmth, or for some other reason, they all have one thing in common, xenophobia.
Wu Xingzhi had no intention of getting up, he knew that even if he found another position, the treatment was estimated to be about the same.
"Now this is my place." Wu Xingzhi first picked up the bread and took a bite, the taste was rough, and there was even sand and gravel mixed in it, but this did not hinder his good appetite.
And such an arrogant newcomer?
The blonde man slapped the table and was about to stand up, but the person next to him hurriedly pulled him hard.
"Heywood, don't be impulsive, this person is not easy to mess with."
Heywood was stunned for a moment, his fellow inmate was not usually so cowardly: "What's not to mess with?" Isn't this the kid who offended Hadley some time ago? Can he still turn the sky over in Shawshank? ”
"You sit down first." The man pulled Heywood to sit down, leaned over and whispered, "You don't work in the laundry, so you don't know, do you know about the Egbo group?" ”
"What's the matter with them? You mean to say that this Asian kid is now their cover? Heywood's face was a little weird, and everyone in Shawshank knew what Egbo's people were.
"If that's the case, it's fine." The cellmate shook his head, "Look up, are they in the cafeteria?" ”
"Huh? Is it really not there? What's going on? ”
"They're lying in the infirmary right now." The cellmate glanced at Wu Xingzhi and said softly.
"What's going on?" Heywood was taken aback, although Egbo and the others had a bad reputation in prison, no one would ignore the strength of their gang.
"Offended Hadley? No, Hadley is still lying in the hospital. ”
"It has something to do with Hadley, but it's not because it's offended, it's because it's for Hadley." The cellmate explained: "I heard the prison guards chatting before, and it is said that Hadley was very badly beaten and was taken directly for surgery. ”
"It took the doctors five hours to save only one of his eggs, and the other one was removed directly."
Heywood raised an eyebrow: "So serious? Won't he be—"
"You know." The cellmate waved his hand: "So, you can imagine how crazy Hadley will be for the culprit in this matter." ”
"Then why is he still eating here safely?" Heywood's anger just now had been extinguished, and he looked at Wu Xingzhi with sympathy in his eyes.
"It's not like you don't know Hadley as a person."
"He hasn't been discharged from the hospital, but someone has been assigned to trouble him."
Heywood pondered, "You mean Egbo?" It's really Hadley's style. ”
"But what does that have to do with Egbo going to the infirmary?"
"What do you say?" The cellmate looked like he could guess it himself.
"Ha, you don't want to say that Egbo can't deal with this kid and is all sent to the infirmary, right?" Heywood joked, only to notice that his cellmate was serious.
“......”
"Are you serious?"
The cellmate nodded, "So you know why I held you back, let me tell you this, Egbo's two arms were broken alive, and the others were no better, and the best was also an internal bleeding, the worst one-"
"Not even a single grain left."
"Not a single grain left?"
"It's turned into meat foam, although my life has been saved, but no one knows if I can wake up, after all, you know the doctors in the infirmary."
"Shhh ”
"How? It's easy to shoot down, but if Hadley's hatred has nowhere to vent, the prison guards won't have a good time. The cellmate shook his head: "And the other party is a fierce man with one enemy and ten, who can guarantee that the other party will not die and struggle." ”
"Dereliction of duty is just a trivial matter, and they don't want to joke about the happiness of the rest of their lives."
"That's right." Heywood shrank his head and never mentioned Wu Xingzhi's position again.
Looking at Wu Xingzhi again, the plate was already clean, he exhaled, although the feeling of hunger disappeared, there was still a long way to go before he was full.
As an eight-point force attribute, Wu Xingzhi could of course hear the silenced whispers of the two people next to him clearly, but Wu Xingzhi didn't care too much, as long as he didn't provoke himself, he was not interested in making trouble with them.
In this prison, the only thing Wu Xingzhi was interested in was the person who tried to escape from prison, and these two coerced people didn't have the courage to look at it.
At this table, there was only one person who could get Wu Xingzhi's attention.
It was a black man, who looked to be old, had been eating slowly and methodically the whole time, and was the only one in the group who did not react to Wu Xingzhi sitting here.
There were no other people's complicated emotions in his eyes, and when he occasionally looked at Wu Xingzhi, he was always calm.
Wu Xingzhi looked at the number on his clothes.
"You're supposed to be Red, right?"
