Chapter 18: Black Clouds Crush the City (Part II)
After coming out, Yan Wu learned that several of the main corrections in the detention center were not there today, and it was said that all of them were organized to study. Officer Chen is not here, where are the three of you going to blow the air conditioner? This is a problem, forget it, if you don't want to do this, let's work first. The content of the work is still the same: drying clothes, distributing medicine, and cleaning the interrogation channel.
While working, Old Man He and Brother Kang were whispering to Yan Wu, don't do today's work too fast, otherwise everyone will finish the work in a while, and Qin will lock everyone back, so there will be no time to rest at all. Well, with the instructions of the two elder brothers, Yan Wu simply started to work slowly.
When drying clothes, Yan Wu found that a pair of underwear was actually mixed into the clothes basin, and he didn't know which fool it belonged to. Yan Wu was carrying his underwear, and when he was still struggling with how to dry it in his heart, the old man He who was passing by glanced at it and said directly, "Fuck it, just throw it off, and get a hammer." Yan Wu knew that there was a rule in the detention center that underwear and socks could not be taken out to dry. Yan Wu hesitated, after all, in the detention center, it is a very miserable thing for a prisoner to have no underwear to wear, and this kind of thing cannot be bought with money, who will sell it to you?
How do you know that Brother Kang saw Yan Wu rubbing at the clothesline, so he walked over and kicked the pot containing clothes into the flower stand with one kick. Yan Wu was a little confused at the time, he was going to collect the clothes at night, this basin was kicked out, what to put back when the time came, whatever, when the time came, he would talk about it when he collected the clothes in the afternoon!
Just when the three of them were slowly cleaning the interrogation channel, Qin Suo came over again, pointed to Old Man He and the three of them and said, "What are you three going to do? Do you want to come out to let off steam? After cleaning this in a few days, you have to clean the monitoring room!" After saying this, Qin Suo turned around and left again, it seems that she has a lot of things to do today.
Brother Kang, Yan Wu, and Old Man He looked at each other for a moment, and laughed, Damn, I didn't expect to have this benefit today? Suddenly, the movements under the hands of the three of them quickly became up. After getting the arraignment channel, the three came to the monitoring room.
The so-called monitoring room is the place where Yan Wu was forced to take off his pants and check his body in public when he first came in, and there are hundreds of screens in this room, large and small, including the most important monitoring probes in the three prison areas of the entire detention center.
Yan Wu looked at the hundreds of screens in front of them, but when there were only two policemen on duty, he understood that this police force couldn't see so many screens at all, so as long as the prisoners didn't have any major violations in the prison room, as long as someone had the intention to cover it a little, the police in front of these screens would not find anything abnormal at all.
The screen was watched by male policemen, leaning back in chairs, smoking cigarettes, swallowing clouds, and several young female police officers were burying their heads in materials. Brother Kang and the three of them were cleaning hard in this air-conditioned room with six large cabinets, and they couldn't wait to wipe off a layer of skin on their desktops.
After an hour, Yan Wu's old acquaintance, who had spoken up to amplify the wind before, the policeman surnamed Liang came in, and saw that Yan Wu and the three of them were all tired and sweating profusely in this large room full of air conditioning, turned around and flashed, I don't know where they went, and then when they reappeared, they actually held a plate of cut watermelons in their hands. Although it was cut, it was obvious that it was the leftovers that these policemen had eaten.
Officer Liang greeted the busy and sweaty Yan Wu, and the three of them found a seat to sit down and rest, and eat some watermelon to quench their thirst. To tell the truth, this is the first time Yan Wu has eaten fruit here since he entered the detention center, regardless of whether he eats the leftovers from others, eat it first, and then say, after working for a long time, he is already tired, first supplement some vitamins, don't you see that Old Man He and Brother Kang are both eyes lit up.
After eating the watermelon, Officer Liang took out a pack of Tianzi soft yellow and gave one to each of the three people. Yan Wu put the cigarette under his nose and sniffed it vigorously, like a glutton. This kind of cigarettes, which are sold outside for 55 yuan a pack, you can't see them in the hands of the prisoners in the detention center, and the most high-grade cigarette that circulates in everyone's hands is only the Yuxi soft box. These are tools for the exchange of emotions between the correctional officers, and the prisoners can buy them for filial piety, but don't expect to smoke them.
Yan Wu and the three of them put the hard-won cigarette under their noses and sniffed it again and again, then raised their heads, held the cigarette in their hands, and looked at Officer Liang with blank eyes. Officer Liang smiled and said, "What are you doing with me? I will light it myself, not necessarily, and I want Lao Tzu to light a fire for you?"
Brother Kang said very sensibly, "Team Liang, you don't want to play with us, where are the three of us going to get lighters~ I just can't find a way to smoke it." ”
When Officer Liang heard this, he didn't move his buttocks, "I said that you guys don't have a lighter, which one has to be trusted? ”
Yan Wu's performances at the moment are all at the level of Oscar-winning actors, and they all cried with a sad face, "Team Liang, we only have to eat, we really don't have a fire." ”
Officer Liang swept the three of them with his eyelids, and when he saw that the three of them refused to admit it, he turned over the cigarette butts in his hands. Brother Kang took it with a smile on his face, and the three of Yan Wu smoked cigarettes in the monitoring room. There are traps everywhere, and if the three of them accidentally took out the lighter just now, then what awaits the three of them is severe interrogation.
Old man He smoked a cigarette and said with a hippie smile, "Team Liang, you see that the three of us are sweating profusely, do you want to add some meat to us at noon?" ”
Officer Liu smoked a cigarette, looked at Yan Wu's face, and thought for a while, "Okay, I'll go to the staff canteen to have a look, and I'll give you some meat and vegetables when I see them, but I don't guarantee that I will definitely be able to get you done." ”
Suddenly, the three of them laughed on their faces, and said in unison, "Thank you Team Liang, thank you Team Liang." ”
Looking at the figure of Officer Liang getting up and leaving, Brother Kang and Old Man He looked back at Yan Wu, their faces were full of complicated smiles, it is estimated that they also knew that today's request, Officer Liang definitely agreed to it for the sake of Yan Wu's face. I remembered that Ah Feng grabbed Yan Wu's position when the wind was released a few days ago, and it was also Team Liang who reminded him, it seems that Yan Wu is definitely not the only backer in the detention center.
Yan Wu had a smile on his face, but his heart was not on this matter, his heart was sad at that time, in the detention center, he was like a beggar, being a free labor force is your welfare, whether you are given meat to eat or not, whether you are given water to drink, it depends on the mood of the police, and the prisoner is only begging. If you don't have a relationship, if you don't have money, you don't even have the qualifications to be a beggar.
When they returned to the prison cell to eat at noon, Yan Wu and the three of them deliberately slowed down, everyone ate very slowly, perhaps because the three of them all had hope for Officer Liang's promise in their hearts, and they waited left and right. As a result, when the middle door was about to close, the small hole on the air door was opened, and Officer Liang filled a bag full of back pot meat in a plastic bag, handed it in, and even the material and meat were more than two and a half catties, and the people in the entire prison room of 204 were drooling!
The three of them sent Officer Liu away with great gratitude, and immediately returned to the pot and divided a small half of the meat into their respective rice bowls, leaving the rest for the night's mixed vegetables, and the rest was distributed to their brothers, and each of them ate a piece of meat. A lot of people just ate a few garlic sprouts and a few tempeh, but there are 29 people in the prison house, everyone has a share, and of course Jianguang and the others are not qualified to participate in sharing the meat slices, because they are opposite to Brother Kang, Yan Wu had to call Guo Jianguang and cut a small portion from his basin to them.
Each of the prisoners who ate the meat had a happy expression on their faces, while those who did not eat had a look of envy and licked their tongues on their lips. Yan Wu remembers the pot meat that day very clearly: very authentic garlic sprouts back to the pot meat, no pig **, no hair, all of them are good pork belly with skin. There are not only qualified Yongchuan tempeh in it, but also Juancheng bean paste, verdant green peppers, thinly sliced pork fried in the oil pan until golden brown, and the belt meat is curled into a spoon-shape, and the black bean pepper is bitten in the mouth, which is really burnt and fragrant. Looking at the chef of the canteen in the detention center, he is definitely an authentic Shu cuisine master.
During this noon nap, Yan Wu slept very well, and the people who were saddled before and after the saddle beside him also began to have. Some people speculate that the meat at noon is the benefit that Yan Wu brings to everyone, after all, when Brother Kang was there, everyone did not enjoy this benefit. Although you can only eat a little garlic sprouts, the unique aroma of black bean sauce and bean paste in Shu cuisine is still fragrant between everyone's lips and teeth.
The wind was amplified that afternoon, and Old Man He was reluctant to go out. That's right, his age is there, after all, working in a high temperature close to forty degrees is also a very hard thing, and when he is old, his body can't bear this kind of hardship, and then Liu Tao was released to take over the work of Old Man He in the afternoon.
Yan Wu realized that Liu Tao was actually not familiar with the entire prison area, and it seemed that this guy had indeed not come out for a long time to let go of the gale, and he had been locked up in the prison for too long.
The main work in the afternoon was to clean the second monitoring room. Fuck it! It's a garbage dump, and it's all about young police officers sitting in it, and as far as the eye can see, the floor is full of cigarette butts, drink bottles, and snack bags, and these police officers don't take hygiene seriously, and always call the prisoners to come and clean it. Brother Kang and Yan Wu sighed silently in their hearts, and immediately hurriedly cleaned up, it seems that Officer Liang's meal of meat in the pot at noon was not eaten for nothing, and the heavy work in the afternoon was waiting for everyone here.
Halfway through, when Brother Kang asked Liu Tao to go out and get the trash can back to load the garbage, Liu Tao didn't know which tendon in his brain suddenly made a mistake, so he didn't walk in the marking road on the ground, but went directly through the yard. Suddenly, the loudspeakers on the high walls around the courtyard sounded, and the huge voice of the armed police echoed in the courtyard, making Liu Tao immediately squat down with his head in his hands.
