Chapter 18 News Spreads Through Shawshank
The news that Andy Duforan was released from the confinement cell did not attract much attention.
Although Andy can be regarded as a Shawshank man of the year, recently his limelight has been completely overshadowed by a yellow-skinned Asian.
In particular, from breakfast time, a message spread among all the inmates of Shawshank Prison.
Even some prison guards have heard of it.
That Asian named Wu wants to escape from prison!
When they heard the news at first glance, the prisoners couldn't help but be surprised, but after thinking about it, it was indeed a normal idea, to be honest, as long as it was not a prisoner with a very short sentence, basically they had the idea of escaping, but with the passage of time, this thought was gradually wiped out.
After all, if you break from prison, you will die, take it honestly, and slowly get used to it.
But Wu is different, everyone knows that Hadley is going to deal with him, and staying in prison is always a dead end.
It was not surprising that he wanted to have a chance at the bottom of his life.
The strange thing is that a prison escape would be a secret for any prisoner, and it is ridiculous to make such a big deal that all prisoners and even some prison guards know about it.
Moreover, the Asian also openly said that if there is someone who wants to escape from prison, he can go to him at any time, and he can cooperate with others to escape from prison?
Is it true that being a prison guard eats dry food?
Lunatic!
It's noon again, and it's the cafeteria again.
When Wu Xingzhi walked into the door, the noisy cafeteria suddenly fell silent.
All eyes are on the central figure of this incident.
Wu Xingzhi, who was enjoying everyone's attention, did not have the consciousness of the central character, and came to the pick-up gate with a clear goal, and when he saw him coming, the people in front of him hurriedly got out of the way.
Yesterday afternoon, his behavior in the cafeteria made everyone see it, although Henry's group did not have a good reputation in prison, but in the eyes of everyone, Henry did not provoke Wu Xingzhi at all, but Wu Xingzhi found fault.
Then he knocked out a tooth of the other party.
Moreover, two people were allowed to go into the hospital with their crotches covered.
The title of the Egg Maniac is already known to everyone in Shawshank, and no one is afraid.
"Thank you, thank you."
Wu Xingzhi thanked the prisoners who gave him his place in a friendly way, and then walked to the front happily, and the old man who was cooking saw that it was Wu Xingzhi, and the spoon flicked, and the amount was more than half of the usual.
Taking the plate, Wu Xingzhi sighed: "It was my mistake, I have always been prejudiced against the prison, and now it seems that everyone is still very friendly." β
"Uncle, can you add me two pieces of bread?"
In the end, Wu Xingzhi looked around with a full dinner plate, and everyone lowered their heads due to their eyes, for fear that this evil star would sit next to him.
"Huh? Rhett isn't there? β
I didn't find Rhett's figure, but the people who sat at the same table with Rhett yesterday were there, and Wu Xingzhi didn't force him over, but found a position closest to the gate and sat down.
The man at the table suddenly put down his spoon and stood up to leave.
"Sit down."
Wu Xingzhi held the bread in one hand and shouted indistinctly.
The prisoners at this table suddenly trembled, and their faces were ugly: "What's that...... We were fed. β
"Don't worry, I'll announce something when I'm done eating." Wu Xingzhi said indifferently, and when he saw someone at the other table finishing the plate and preparing to walk towards the super large gate, he hurriedly shouted, "You, don't go." β
He simply stood up.
"Sorry for the delay, don't leave the cafeteria just yet."
The sound spread throughout the prison, and many people showed expressions of disbelief.
This madmanβ
From dealing with a few people in Egbo, to dealing with dozens of people in Henry, now, is he finally going to attack everyone in the prison?
Is there still a royal law? Is there still justice? When will Shawshank get better?
The more impulsive prisoner replied stiffly: "What do you want to do?" The canteen is not opened by you, we can leave if we want! β
Wu Xingzhi replied vaguely while eating Haisai: "Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions." β
He glanced at the prisoner who had replied, "Huh? If you want to leave so much, are you already full? β
"Bring your dinner plate, although we are prisoners, we still have to have an upward heart, don't waste food casually."
β......β
The prisoner really wanted to say that he was not full, but when he saw Wu Xingzhi's eyes, his body involuntarily picked up the plate and loosened it.
Crazy devils, I can't afford to mess with them.
......
Red searched for the activity area.
He had heard the news of Andy's coming out of the confinement room in the morning, but he had never been seen to go to the library, and there was no sign of him in the cafeteria, which made him faintly worried.
Regarding the news that Andy wants to overturn the case, friends who are familiar with Andy know it.
Andy has always said that he didn't kill anyone, but he was unjustly imprisoned, but in fact, Red didn't believe it before.
Everyone at Shawshank Prison said they were not guilty.
But I didn't expect that what Andy said was actually true, a wronged person was forced to be locked up in prison for nearly 20 years, and finally had the possibility of overturning the case, and the most critical witness was directly killed by the warden.
And he was also locked up for a month.
If it is put on his own, Red is very skeptical that he can accept this fact, so Red is very worried about Andy's state.
Finally, under a high wall, Red spotted Andy.
He sat on the floor against the wall, his hands on his chest, his head slightly bowed, his brow furrowed.
Red walked up to him silently, not knowing what to say, just standing quietly aside.
Finally, Andy spoke: "My wife always said that I was incomprehensible, like a book put together. β
He was talking about memories that seemed inconsequential.
"She's beautiful, I love her a lot, but she's not good at expressing it."
He looked at Red slightly, and his tone became heavy, "I killed her, Red." β
Red gave him a surprised look, but he said to himself, "I didn't shoot it, but I drove away, so she was killed, all because of me." β
Red sighed, squatted down as well, sat down next to him, and comforted, "Maybe you're not a good husband, but you're not a murderer. β
"You can blame yourself, but you didn't shoot."
Andy laughed self-deprecatingly, "It was someone else who did it, but I'm locked up here." β
As if resigned to his fate, he said, "It's my bad luck." β
"Bad luck is everywhere." That's all Red can say.
"Bad luck always happens to someone, and it's just in time for me." Andy forced a smile: "So I was caught in a tornado." β
"I just didn't expect this storm to last so long." There was a tear in his eyes.
The two men were silent for a long time.
Rhett's mind was full of thoughts, and he lowered his head, unable to bear to look at his old friend.
Finally, he heard Andy speak again, and there seemed to be something different in his tone.
"Have you ever thought you'd be able to go out one day?"
