The people in Cell 48 were all cunning old men. Moreover, Elder Hua was definitely the best of the best. Everything he said was flawless, and his ability to get information was definitely the best in the world. Every word was said by you, and you didn't feel it at all. Although I'm already very careful, most of the time, I'm just listening and rarely speaking. However, when I finally reacted, I realized that I had already said everything that I should say. I even told him why I was in prison and how I was in prison. By the time I found out, the surroundings were already filled with old men. Those who were reading books, those who were repairing flowers, those who were sleeping, those who were playing cards, and those who were playing chess had all surrounded me. By the time I realized that I had made a mistake, there were already people standing around me.
All of them were looking at me with warm expressions, as if they were saying,'You're awesome.' Even though I was already indifferent, I still blushed in embarrassment. Zhou Xinya's appearance flashed in my heart and disappeared very quickly. To me, she is an eternal pain. In that instant, I felt an indescribable sense of guilt towards Dongfang Wan.
Soon, I warned myself that I was not allowed to reveal my feelings except in front of Dongfang Wan. Thus, I smiled indifferently and let go of myself, starting to chat with a few old and cunning people. Very quickly, I became one with them. Laughter filled the room. For a moment, an indescribable feeling arose between the young and the old. Even though we didn't show our feelings, we all wore fake smiles. However, I know that this is the best way to temper my character. As long as I don't lose my composure in front of these old foxes, then there won't be many people in this world who can shake my true thoughts.
Just like that, for the next few days, I wore a fake mask and fought with these old people. I would chat with them for half a day every day. After spending a few days with them, I could already chat with them for a while without letting them pry out the secrets in my heart. Right now, I could only listen and not speak. Most of the time, I was just listening. Most of the time, I was thinking about what they were saying and analyzing the meaning behind their words. At this moment, I realized that my brain was like a running computer, constantly analyzing these 0s and 1s. 0 was the real component, 1 was the fake component. Most of the time, the result would be a 1. Occasionally, it would be a 0. These old foxes were too powerful. People said that the more one spoke, the more mistakes one would make. However, this mantra did not reflect on these old foxes at all. Their mouths were still clicking, like a six-air machine gun with high wheels, and every bullet hit the target. The few times I occasionally revealed my feelings, they cleverly seized the opportunity to mock me. After spending a few days together, I thoroughly understood that one should think before acting. At the same time, I couldn't help but praise the brains of these old men. Einstein's IQ was 160. The IQ of these old men was definitely higher than that. I couldn't help but sigh. If these old men were to receive a good education, they would definitely be able to help our country's science develop by leaps and bounds.
Of course, these old people were not without flaws. Their flaw was that as long as they said something, they would say that they were thinking about how glorious they were back then. Of course, bragging wasn't illegal. It didn't matter if they bragged a little. As for me, I just smiled slightly and didn't care at all. However, it made these old men unhappy. From then on, I kept an eye out. Whenever they talked about how amazing and glorious they were, I would say,'That's right, that's right. Old X, who are you? Of course, of course.'
"Today, I still carried out the task of chatting with these elders. These elders weren't just with me. Every single one of them wore a mask. Even after interacting with them for a long time, they still spoke lies and didn't speak a single word of truth. After spending a few days together, I finally got used to it. Furthermore, to my surprise, I discovered that I wasn't afraid of lying at all. In fact, slowly lying was like telling the truth. It became more and more fluent, and my skills became more and more advanced. Occasionally, I would be able to trick these old foxes. I actually didn't feel disgusted by this discovery. Instead, I felt a little proud of myself. Many years later, I realized that my hypocritical mask was trained in this prison cell.
Now, I've completely integrated into them. I'm very happy to be with them every day. He learned some strategies from the book-loving Elder Li, cultivated patience from the flower-loving Elder Chen, learned to play mind games with the chess playing Elder Xu, Elder Wu, Elder Liu, Elder Sun, and Elder Qian, cultivated the ability to think and react with the card playing Elder Zhao, Elder Feng, Elder Wan, and Elder Yue, cultivated calmness with the sleeping Elder Wang, cultivated how to talk to others with the chatting Elder Zhou and Elder Wei, and cultivated the way of leadership and the way of controlling others with Elder Hua. Although they didn't teach me directly, I could learn a lot just by staying with them. Only by completely integrating with them could I inadvertently grow.
Today, I was no exception. I chatted with them and learned everything about being a schemer. Occasionally, I would understand these old people and put on a mask for myself. As they chatted, the sun had already set and it was time for dinner. With a click, the cell door opened smoothly. It was still the young prison guard who brought me here. I now knew that his name was Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu greeted us warmly and said,"Elder Hua, it's time to eat!”
Elder Hua was the most brilliant and resourceful of these elders when he was young. Under normal circumstances, although these elders wore masks and did their own things, they usually left the external negotiations to Elder Hua. When Xiao Liu asked these elders to interact with him, or when he went out to do some voluntary labor, he would first look for Elder Hua.
Elder Hua sat up on his small recliner. I hurriedly rushed over and gently helped him up. Elder Hua smiled kindly at me and then deliberately patted his back. He shook his head and said,"Sigh, I'm old and useless."
I smiled and pretended to help Shun Hua's back. Although it was very fake, after spending time with them for the past few days, I became more and more unconcerned. I did things more and more smoothly, and my words became more and more like a model. I said respectfully," How can that be? Elder Hua is in good health. It's not a big deal to live for a few more decades."”
Elder Hua laughed and said happily,""En en en, young man, not bad, very motivated, very motivated!”I quickly laughed along and called out to the elders to stand up. Everyone laughed and walked out. Xiao Liu didn't say anything either. He knew that he wasn't a match for these old people. He always laughed and watched me and Elder Hua brag. Although none of them were true, they could always make people believe it without a doubt. Even Xiao Liu, who was older than me, secretly admired me.
Cell 48 was at the outermost layer of the prison, not far from the cafeteria, so it didn't take long for us to arrive at the cafeteria. The cafeteria was already filled with people. Number 48's elders greeted Baldy, Fat Dragon, and Old Ghost's men warmly. Although those people were very arrogant and some people didn't give face to these old men at all, Baldy, Fat Dragon, and Old Ghost could always greet these old foxes affectionately. However, when they saw me, their expressions would always be filled with trepidation. Many times, I couldn't help but secretly guard against them.
The atmosphere in the canteen was very strange today. It was not like usual. Everyone was very honest when they ate. When they were eating, they just ate and didn't talk. But today, it seemed to be very lively. Everyone was making a racket and talking nonsense. As for me, after I told the elders to sit down, I secretly glanced around at everyone. I muttered to myself, then warmly greeted the elders. I began to do what I had done every day since I came to Cell 48, which was to get food for the elders.
After busying myself for a while, I finally finished helping the old people get food. Then, I began my last job, which was to get food for myself. When I walked to the cafeteria's food delivery window, I could clearly feel that the prisoner who was bringing me food had an unnatural expression. Trembling, he took my cutlery in. When I was puzzled, he gave me the same amount as the other prisoners. I immediately kept an eye out and knew that things wouldn't be as simple as I imagined. This was because Baldy, Fei Long, and Lao Gui had clearly understood from the tone of these old men that they would not give up so easily on the previous matter. As for him, he was alone and weak. He did not have any chance to counterattack. I could only secretly pay attention to the small details to avoid getting hurt.
I took the freshly prepared rice in confusion. It was emitting a fragrance. Although the food in the prison was not good at all, it was even a little difficult to swallow. Some things were not cooked at all. However, there was nothing else to eat here. In order to survive, even if it was not rice but pig feed, he had to eat it. However, this time, I felt that my food was actually much better than before. Even though the amount was the same as the others, it was obvious that my workmanship was much better than theirs. Moreover, there was an egg in the soup bowl. Could it be that the warden, Fifth Uncle, was afraid that I wouldn't be used to it, so he deliberately improved my diet? Looking around, I knew that things were definitely not that simple.
I walked back with the food in my hand and sat back in my seat silently. Although the food in front of me was very good, I couldn't raise my appetite.
Elder Hua smiled at me and asked,""What's wrong, Fenghua? The food doesn't suit your taste?”
I forced a smile, but before I could say anything, Old Man Li, who was busy reading, muttered,"En, young people nowadays, they don't even know how to play tricks. It was obvious that there was something wrong with the food. Even a fool could tell.”
Old Li's voice was very soft, almost inaudible. But for some reason, I could clearly hear every word he said in front of me, who had an especially intelligent spiritual sense. I know that there must be something wrong with this meal. However, I still don't believe that Baldy, Fat Dragon, and Old Ghost have the ability to drug me through the canteen. I raised my head and looked at the surrounding elders in confusion. I was speechless and didn't know what to say. Her mouth opened a few times, but she couldn't speak.
