It was over. This was Chen Zong's first thought. He felt so ashamed that he couldn't bear it. It was his own mistake to not be able to keep an eye on the sound. Copper Coin's scream became more and more desolate. The lights in the corridor lit up and chaotic footsteps could be heard. People were rushing to Chen Zong when they heard a buddy in the corridor asking,"Which room is it?"”
The other seemed to be Mr. Liuzi's answer.""It's Coin's room."
This was a simple wooden building that looked like a hall. There was only one exit in the middle. At this moment, Chen Zong only had one thought, which was to pull up his pants and escape. However, Chen Zong had no way to escape. A few of his brothers who usually looked up and down saw Chen Zong's sorry state and the torn clothes of Copper Coin.
Chen Zong was dragged into a small room behind the hospital by these people. Mr. Liuzi patted his shoulder while smoking and said,""Did you succeed, Chen Zong?"
Chen Zong shook his head. Mr. Liuzi understood everything and said in private,""Chen Zong, I'm sorry. We didn't know it was you when we heard you.”Chen Zong looked gratefully at Mr. Liuzi's best friend.
" This is fate," Mr. Liuzi comforted Chen Zong." Accept your fate, brother."”
Mr. Liuzi sighed. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he said to Chen Zong,""Don't worry too much. We're just putting on an act by locking you up here. Don't worry, we didn't call the police. Everything depends on Copper Coin's reaction.”
After Mr. Liuzi said that, he pestered his buddies and left one after another. That room was the mediation room of the hospital. Usually, people who were locked up here were mostly people who had their skin pulled and their scriptures pulled. There were also people who were caught stealing.
Chen Zong had seen them tied up and sitting on the bench with a pair of despairing eyes. He did not expect to be invited here today like them. However, the people who caught him were his good friends. They did not tie him up or make things difficult for him.
However, Chen Zong knew that he was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. The more he thought about it, the more afraid he became. When tomorrow morning came, everything he did to the copper coin yesterday would be exposed to the world. Chen Zong thought that he would no longer be able to survive in this place in the future.
When Mr. Liuzi left, there was clearly a hidden meaning in his words. It seemed to be a hint to him. Thinking of all this, Chen Zong began to take action. He pulled the wooden door of the mediation room. It seemed to be locked from the outside, and only the sound of clanging echoed in response to him.
It seemed that he could not get out of this door. The window was his only hope of escaping. However, there was a row of dense steel bars on the window. Chen Zong tried to pull it a few times, but it was useless. He had to give up. When everything was in vain, Chen Zong was very calm. He simply lay down on the wooden bench and did not think about anything else.
But not long after, the door opened and Mr. Liuzi ran in.
Mr. Liuzi said," Chen Zong, you can run. Copper Coin has called the police. The hospital's leader asked us to watch you. Don't let you run away."”
Chen Zong looked at Mr. Liuzi, who was panting heavily, and felt a wave of gratitude in his heart. It seemed like he hadn't made this brother of his for nothing.
When Chen Zong ran out of the door, he hugged Mr. Liuzi tightly. It was as if they were going to part forever. After Chen Zong ran out, the sky was still dark outside. He only had one thought in his mind: to return to the slums and take one last look at his mother.
In the dim night, Chen Zong quietly packed a few clothes that he usually wore in his room and wrapped them in a canvas. He took out half of this month's salary and sneaked into his mother's room to put them under her pillow. Looking at her tired face and her white hair that was snored, Chen Zong really wanted to cry. He forcefully swallowed his tears and gritted his teeth as he left the door.
They walked out of the gray shanty town.
