Chapter 29 Section 28

What happened later that day, I heard from six or seven people.I guess when Triman threw up his lunch and dinner that day, he decided he had nothing to lose anyway and decided to keep climbing.He didn't have to worry about falling through the passage between the inner and outer walls, because it was too narrow, and Cui Men had to push hard to move forward.He later said he had to almost hold his breath to get down, and that he didn't know what it was like to be buried alive until then. He found a main drain pipe at the end of the passage. It was the sewage pipe leading to the fourteen toilets in the fifth block cell. The porcelain pipe installed thirty-three years ago had been broken. Andy's stone hammer was found nearby.

Andy is finally free, but it's not easy. This pipe is narrower than Cui Men's crawling passage.Tremon didn't go in, and neither did anyone else, so far as I know, and I think it must have been almost indescribably dire.While Triman was inspecting the gap in the pipe and the stone hammer, a mouse jumped out of the pipe, Triman later swore the rat was as big as a beagle.He slowly climbed back to Andy's cell like a monkey climbing a pillar. Andy escaped through that pipe.Maybe he knew that the sewer pipe led to a creek five hundred yards away from the prison, because the blueprints of the prison were found in many places, and Andy must have found a way to see the blueprints.He is a method freak. He must have discovered that only the sewage pipes in the fifth district of the entire prison have not been connected to the new wastewater treatment plant, and he also knows that if he does not escape at this time, he will have no chance in the future, because when he arrives at a In August 1975, even the sewage pipes in our area were going to be connected to the new wastewater treatment plant.

Five hundred yards, the length of five American football fields, nearly half a mile.He crawled such a distance, maybe with a small flashlight in his hand, maybe with nothing but a few boxes of matches, I just don't want to imagine, I can't imagine, how dirty the place he crawled is, and Fat squeaking rats ran about in front of him, and even rats, being so daring in the dark, attacked him.There is almost no room for him in the passage, there may only be a very small gap that is enough for him to squeeze through, and at the joint of the pipe, he may have to push his body desperately to get through.If it were me, the claustrophobic atmosphere would have driven me crazy, but he managed to escape.

They found some muddy footprints at the end of the sewage pipe that led to the stream where the prison discharges sewage. The search team found Andy's prison clothes two miles away, and that was the next day. It made a lot of noise in the papers, but no one within a fifteen-mile radius reported a stolen car or lost clothes to the police, or saw anyone running naked in the moonlight, and never heard of the dogs on the farm. bark.After Andy climbed out of the sewage pipe, he disappeared like a wisp of smoke. But I dare say he must have disappeared in the direction of Buxden.
