After lunch, it was labor time in the No. 4 juvenile detention center. Because of the country's poverty, the prison's funds were seriously insufficient. In order to solve the funding problem, and to further exhaust the energy of the teenagers and prevent them from causing trouble, each prison had privately set up a processing plant.
In the factory, Duanmu Feng was working with Li Qiwen, who had pimples all over his face, to cut a piece of wood. The guards patrolled the factory from time to time. The sharp blade spun rapidly under the rotation of the turning machine, and a neat long line was cut out in front of the wooden board. Duanmu Feng was a little absent-minded. He had finished cutting the wooden board, but he still maintained the strength of pushing the wooden board. Duanmu Feng lost his balance as his hand was empty. His head fell towards the rapidly rotating blade.
At the critical moment, a hand grabbed his head at lightning speed and saved his life.
"Hey! Be careful!" Li Qiwen was afraid of alerting the guards, so he lowered his voice and reprimanded him sternly.
Duanmu Feng, who had narrowly escaped death, couldn't help but feel a lingering fear as he touched his wildly beating heart. He only reacted after a long time.
"Thank you!"
"Be careful when you work. If there's anything, you can slowly solve it in the future!”Li Qiwen's voice softened.
At dusk, the setting sun dyed half the sky red. The afterglow sprinkled on the ground, and the entire ground was covered in a layer of blood-red gauze. In the hot and humid weather, after a day of hard work, every youth's body emitted a trace of sweat. There was a bathhouse in the fourth juvenile detention center. Because there were many people in the penitentiary, but the space was limited, they had to queue up and take a bath in batches. Each time, there would be thirty people, and each person would have ten minutes.
Although the sun was setting in the west, after a day of exposure, the ground was still steaming hot. The youths in room 204 followed the long queue and slowly moved forward. Tiredness was written all over their faces. Duanmu Feng was in the middle of the group of youths. From the beginning to the end, he had his head lowered, following the team like a robot.
The air was very quiet. Other than the tireless cries of the cicadas, the only sound left was the footsteps of the teenagers. " Squeak squeak…" Suddenly, the sound of friction when the door was opened pierced Duanmu Feng's ears like a bolt of lightning.
The bathhouse was located at the outermost perimeter of the juvenile detention center, and the free world outside was separated by a wall. As the door slowly opened, a black figure wearing a straw hat and pulling a trailer appeared in front of everyone.
"The food is here!" The black figure pulling the carriage seemed to be very familiar with the guard and greeted him warmly.
"You've worked hard!" The guards also responded enthusiastically to the coachman, and at the same time, they called out to each other to help unload the goods.
This gate was the side door of the juvenile detention center. Because it was very close to the cafeteria, it gradually became a dedicated passage for transporting food. The coachman was also a sensible person. Every time he delivered food, he would secretly stuff some seasonal fruits to the guard. In this era where supplies were scarce, these fruits were more useful than money. After a while, the coachman became familiar with the guards. Every time the coachman came to deliver goods, the guards would also enthusiastically help.
Duanmu Feng had already been in prison for some time. He had seen the scene before him many times and was already used to it. But today, when he stared at the open door, his mind kept echoing with his sister's cute smile. The door was very close to him, about 50 meters away. Duanmu Feng's heart became restless, and his gaze as he stared at the door gradually became firm.
Duanmu Feng's thoughts were completely seen by Li Qiwen, who was beside him.
"Let me help you see your sister!”
"Hmm?" Duanmu Feng was shocked when he heard this. Before he could react, he saw the pimpled Li Qiwen in front of him open his mouth and bite his own arm. Li Qiwen's teeth were like two rows of sawteeth. Under his bite, a piece of flesh on Li Qiwen's arm was immediately torn off by himself, and blood immediately flowed out.
Duanmu Feng was stunned by the bloody scene in front of him. He didn't expect Li Qiwen to be so cruel to him just to help him.
Li Qiwen opened his mouth and spat out the flesh and blood in his mouth. It was obvious that he was enduring great pain, but he smiled at Duanmu Feng. A moment later, Li Qiwen rushed out of the group, clutching his arm as he cried out crazily,""It hurts! I was bitten by a snake! Help, who can save me!" Li Qiwen kept shouting and even rolled on the hot ground.
"What is it? Bitten by a snake?" The guards were attracted by Li Qiwen's screams and surrounded him.
Seeing the guards coming over, Li Qiwen screamed even more painfully." There's a snake! There were snakes here! " Everyone, hurry up and run…" Perhaps they were frightened by the bloody wound on Li Qiwen's arm, but the young criminals in the team became restless. The scene instantly became chaotic.
"Now! Little Feng!" Li Qiwen, who was rolling on the ground, suddenly gave Duanmu Feng a look.
" Little Wen…" Duanmu Feng looked at Li Qiwen blankly, feeling touched and conflicted. Seeing Li Qiwen's sacrifice, Duanmu Feng felt for the first time that there was no turning back between friends. He was extremely anxious to run to the door, but he knew that if he ran, Li Qiwen, who helped him, would definitely suffer inhuman punishment. He wanted to escape, but he couldn't. He couldn't drag this friend of his down with him.
Just as Duanmu Feng was struggling intensely in his heart, he felt a powerful hand pushing him from behind. Then, he staggered and involuntarily walked forward.
"Hurry up and leave! Don't come back!" The long-haired youth, Chen Haonan, spoke in a low but clear voice.
Leave? Can't leave? Leave? Can't leave? Finally, his reluctance to part with his sister prevailed. "I'm sorry!" Two streams of hot tears fell from the corners of Duanmu Feng's eyes. Duanmu Feng's staggering footsteps gradually became steady, and then he started running.
"Good luck!" Li Qiwen, who was rolling on the ground, glanced at Duanmu Feng's figure that was running faster and faster from the corner of his eye and revealed a smile.
At this moment, the others in Room 204 finally noticed the abnormality of the situation.
"Brother Chennan, is this a mouse?”Guan Liang, who had a buzz cut, asked Chen Haonan in shock.
Chen Haonan, who was in the team, did not answer him. Instead, he suddenly shouted,""There are snakes here!”
"What?" The rest of the security guards shifted their attention to the group of juvenile delinquents after Chen Haonan shouted at them.
Seeing that he had successfully attracted the attention of the guards, Chen Haonan's face revealed a smug expression.
