Chen Ergou followed Qi Cheng and was visiting the "cell".
He was immediately shocked to discover that the living conditions here were actually not bad!
The cell where Qi Cheng lived was a four-person room with four straw mats for the four of them to sleep on. What was interesting was that there were replacement clothes beside the bed for the four of them, and they were still cotton clothes. Linen.
This is so damn...
Chen Ergou was stunned by this discovery. Even farmers in normal times could only afford to wear linen clothes, not cotton clothes. Even a family only had one set of decent linen clothes, and whoever went out would wear it.
Why are there two sets of cotton-padded clothes for the prisoners here to replace them with?
Is this a fucking mistake?
Chen Ergou couldn't help but vomited: "Where did you get the cotton clothes?"
Qi Cheng: "It was sent to us by Tianzun."
Chen Ergou: "Tianzun?"
Qi Cheng turned around, bowed to a piece of paper taped to the wall.
It turned out that there was a portrait of Daoxuan Tianzun taped to the wall of the cell. This was printed uniformly by the Gaojiacun Bookstore and distributed everywhere. In key places like prisons that need "thought transformation", of course, the focus is on distribution, almost every day. There was one taped to the wall of a cell.
Qi Cheng said: "Er Gou, this is Daoxuan Tianzun. He is a god who punishes evil and promotes good. He will punish evil people, but will protect kind people... What we are eating now , the clothes they wear are all given by Daoxuan Tianzun."
How could Chen Ergou believe it? He just thought he was talking nonsense.
However, at this moment, he suddenly felt that the eyes of Daoxuan Tianzun in the picture seemed to move slightly.
"Wow!" Chen Ergou was startled: "Brother Qi Cheng... his eyes rolled, his eyes rolled."
Qi Cheng: "Immeasurable longevity, what's so strange about this?"
He actually said a little happily: "In the past, when my sins were very serious, Tianzun's eyes would not move. Recently, I have worked hard and reformed. My sins have become lighter and lighter, and Tianzun will occasionally take a look at me." , This shows that my changes are seen by the Heavenly Lord."
He didn't know that Tianzun only had the "sympathy" function recently, and it didn't exist before!
Chen Ergou's little heart was still jumping with fear, but when he took a closer look, Tianzun's eyes had not moved again. He didn't know whether what he just saw was real or fake, so he could only let it go for the time being. .
But this time, he didn't dare to be disrespectful to Tian Zun!
You can not believe in gods and Buddhas, but you cannot disrespect them.
"Empty, empty, empty..."
The sound of wooden sticks hitting empty bamboos suddenly echoed in the sky above the entire prison.
When Chen Ergou heard this voice, the first thing that came to his mind was "There's going to be a war."
It turns out that whenever rogues attack, militia groups in small villages and towns often knock empty bamboos to warn them. As soon as the bamboos sound, the militia groups in the village will immediately pick up farm tools and prepare to fight.

And Chen Ergou is a rogue, so every time he hears this sound, it means "the other party is resisting", which means there is going to be a war.
He screamed, and reflexively wanted to grab a weapon, but then he remembered that he was a prisoner now and had no weapons at all.
Qi Cheng, who was beside him, his eyes lit up and said happily: "It's time to eat, let's go have a meal."
Chen Ergou: "Huh?"
He touched his stomach. Well, he was really hungry. After Yan'an surrendered to the government, the government gave them one or two mouthfuls of dry food as a token gift, and took them through Huanglong Mountain to this place. They ate only a few mouthfuls of dry food along the way. It was hard to say they were not hungry. It's a lie.
Chen Ergou: "Is there food here?"
"Of course." Qi Cheng: "Otherwise, I would have starved to death."
"That's true."
Chen Ergou didn't take serving rice seriously. He thought: at worst, it's just a few mouthfuls of watery soup, and he won't starve to death even if he's not full.
He followed Qi Cheng towards the canteen, and saw people coming out of each cell, including old reform-through-labor prisoners and newly arrived criminals. Tens of thousands of people walked towards the canteen. When they arrived at the door, these reform-through-labor prisoners lined up spontaneously. Long queue.
He and Qi Cheng arrived quickly, so they lined up at the front of the queue. Looking forward, they could see a large group of women carrying large pots and basins in the cafeteria.
Chen Ergou could guess without seeing that the big basin was filled with soup that was as thin as snot. He couldn't eat enough, and he definitely wouldn't be full.
Unexpectedly, when he got to the front of the queue and saw that the big basin actually contained white-faced steamed buns, it was a full basin of white-faced steamed buns.
Chen Ergou was shocked and froze. This... this is something only a young master from a landlord's family can afford, right? Ordinary people only eat coarse-grain steamed buns, how can they be so refined?
As soon as Qi Cheng saw the steamed buns, he seemed to understand something: "Today seems to be a very strenuous job, so we should be given something better to eat."
The woman serving the meal said, "That's right! I just overheard what the prison chief said. Today the men are being asked to do heavy work. It seems they are laying some railroad tracks. I heard they have to carry heavy wood and iron blocks. , so let everyone eat well today so that you can have strength."
She grabbed two steamed buns and stuffed them into Qi Cheng, then waved to Chen Ergou: "Come and get the steamed buns. Why are you so dazed?"
Chen Ergou was a little confused: "Really give this to me?"
Woman: "Can I still have a lie? I heard that 3,000 new people arrived today. Are you one of them? The new people just don't understand the rules. Not only are these steamed buns real, you can come back for more if you're not full, but you can't Don’t take too much food for waste. If you are caught wasting food, you will be starved tomorrow.”
Chen Ergou felt a bit like an unsophisticated foreigner being laughed at by the locals, which made him a little annoyed, but when people put two white-faced steamed buns in front of him, his noble head had to be lowered. Ah, I obediently stretched out my hand to take the steamed bun, and had to add one more sentence obediently: "Thank you, eldest sister, I can't eat enough for two, please give me another one."
The woman actually handed him another one.
He grabbed one in each hand, and also put a fine white flour steamed bun in his mouth. He didn't know why, but he felt a little like crying.
"Eat quickly!"
Zhong Gaoliang appeared on the wall in the distance, with a large group of guards surrounding him. The security measures in the prison have improved compared to before, especially since there are 3,000 new labor reform prisoners arriving today. The guards have doubled the security.
Cheng Xu and the Thousand People's Militia did not leave, and were still helping to plant sorghum and surrounding the prison.
Zhong Gaoliang said loudly: "Eat quickly, finish it within the time of one stick of incense. Then all the young and middle-aged men will gather at the prison gate. Your job today is to build the railway track. Don't worry, although this work is tiring, it is Much easier than fighting.”
