The death cell of the Taiyuan Police Station Prison was dark, and the entire space was filled with a suffocating filthy smell that was a mixture of various foul smells. There is only a steel window, not much bigger than a fist, embedded on the high wall, which can let in some fresh air so that the people in the cell will not die of lack of oxygen.
Niu Yidao was currently lying in the innermost death cell, struggling to lift his hands, which were handcuffed with bracelets weighing nearly 5 kilograms, to catch lice crawling in the thick, dirty hair. After finally catching one, I immediately put it in my mouth and chewed it carefully, then hummed with satisfaction and swallowed it. Let your sore hands rest for a moment, and then resume the great task of catching lice.
Since Niu Yidao was imprisoned on death row years ago, he no longer has any illusions about whether he will survive. But he knew that according to tradition, prisoners would not be executed for a period of time before and after the Spring Festival. In the old saying, seeing blood during the New Year was unlucky. So he was able to survive for two more months. "You've made a profit! I've made money for dozens of days in vain." Niu Yidao comforted himself in his heart.
Unexpectedly, from the day he entered the prison, Niu Yidao suddenly fell in love with the little game of catching lice on his body to taste, and he never tired of it every day. Because this game is in line with one of his creeds that he has been in the underworld for many years - if you want to suck my blood, I will eat you whole.
Of course, Niu Yidao didn't remember how he got into the underworld. He only remembered that he was a young butcher's apprentice who followed his master to help people slaughter cows and pigs. I don't know when I started to feel angry.
I am not angry about why I and my master have to work hard all day and have to hand over most of our income to the black-headed brother at the live cattle market in the west of the city.
I am not angry about why I and my master are busy and tired all year round, but in the end we still have neither enough food nor clothing to keep warm. The black-headed brother is idle all day long, but he is rich in fish and meat, silk and silk.
I was angry that I and my master had worked so hard to save a lot of money. When the master went to help me propose marriage, I had always liked and admired the girl Xiaocui who had never changed my mind from a teenager to a young man in his twenties. But he slept on the black-headed brother's bed.
I was angry that when my master died of illness, he couldn't even afford a decent coffin, so he had to wrap the old man in a straw mat and bury him.
So, on the night when the master was buried, he walked into the black-headed brother's house alone with a knife in his pocket...
Of course I will never forget the scene where the black-headed brother was stabbed in the chest with his own sharp knife. It was much easier than killing a cow. The fear and crying of the black-headed brother before his death made him extremely satisfied. If you suck my blood, I will kill you.
Of course, the Xiaocui that I had longed for also made me very satisfied. In the past, he wouldn't even let his hands touch him, but now he lets himself fall asleep easily. The purpose of sleeping with her is to recover the debt from the past, to help her for more than ten years, and to relieve her debt. Killing her is also to collect debts, love debts...
Gradually, he became the black-headed brother of the live bull market, no, he was even bigger than the black-headed brother of the past. I no longer want others to call me Black-headed Brother, I want to be called Gang Leader. Of course, you don’t have to work hard all day, people will naturally contribute money...
Suddenly this day changed. The policemen who used to eat and drink their own filial piety and drink their own offerings have changed their faces. It seems that after Douya ran back and told him what happened, he was stared at. Then there are inexplicable bloody battles with weapons, inexplicable killings, inexplicable arrests, and death sentences...
Niu Yidao had a headache when he thought about this. He still didn't understand how a gang leader who had dominated the live cattle market for many years fell down so easily. Did you offend that big boss?
At this moment, the cell door was opened, and a beam of flashlight light came in from the outside, instantly piercing his eyes and becoming confused.
Several policemen strode in without saying a word, and walked out with their arms holding Niu Yidao, and the anklets tied to their feet made a series of clattering sounds on the ground.
Waiting for Niu Yidao to be dragged to the corridor outside, he found that the other death row cells were also extracting people from outside. "Does this mean that execution is about to take place immediately?" Although Niu Yidao was already prepared, he still began to feel fear and panic when death was about to come.
At this time, I saw a policeman reporting to a man who looked like an officer: "Sir, there are nine people in total. Here are all the files and judgments."
The officer took the file, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brother, I'll take the person away."
Just listen to the officer shouting at the door: "Come in."
Then a group of soldiers came crackling in, blindfolded each death row prisoner with black cloth, and then every two people carried a death row prisoner and walked out. Niu Yidao was carried out of the door. Even though he was blindfolded, he could feel the dazzling sunshine coming towards him. He quickly closed his eyes, greedily breathing the fresh air outside and feeling the long-lost sunshine. I just felt that it was really worth it to die at this time.
Then Niu Yidao started not to understand, as if he was getting into a truck, which was the first time in his life. Much more comfortable than a carriage. Then they arrived at the place, and when they took off the blindfold, Niu Yidao discovered that it seemed to be a military camp. Then I started not to understand again, and actually took off the handcuffs, took off my clothes and took a shower. Well, I have to say goodbye to the lice that have been with me for dozens of days. As the icy cold water washed away pounds of dirt from his body, Niu Yidao found that he was no longer afraid and nervous, but only more puzzled.
There will be more things I don’t understand next. After taking a shower, I put on old but clean clothes. Then a big basin of white flour buns was brought up, and a big bowl of meat and vegetables was brought up. Let’s make it with all your heart. . Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore, I will be a dead ghost even if I die. While you are eating, you are thinking that you are going to stop eating, right?
However, he had to eat without food for several days, and he had to take a shower every day. It wasn't until each of the nine death row inmates recovered their vitality and began to grow fatter and stronger that suffering began.
Nine death row inmates who were originally held separately suddenly lived in a large house. Of course, everyone was tied tightly. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were thrown in with a "pop" from the window. There was a smoking wax ball, and then the wax ball exploded with a "bang", and a strange smell spread out instantly, and then Niu Yidao felt dizzy and fainted...
I don't know how long it took, Niu Yidao woke up leisurely, and heard a waxy female voice coming from outside: "Remember the time, you will wake up naturally after being unconscious for one hour and twenty-three minutes, and the time interval between each person will not exceed two." Minutes. Catch the wind and do it again at night."
