Chapter 16 regain freedom

At six o'clock in the morning, a sharp telephone rang in the living room. Since her son jumped off the building, Zhu Xuelian has had a hard time falling asleep. Whenever she closes her eyes, the details of her son's birth and growth will appear in front of her eyes.I often go to bed at ten o'clock in the evening and fall asleep at two or three o'clock in the morning.After being woken up by the phone, she looked at the window and said angrily, "Which psychopath is calling." Zhang Rende yawned and walked to the living room, answered the phone, and asked, "Hi, I'm Zhang Rende." "Zhao An's case has been solved." Zhao Yonggang's voice came from the microphone.

"What case?" Zhang Rende woke up from his sleep, still a little confused. Zhao Yonggang said with excitement in his voice, "The case of the bald boy has been solved, and the suspect has been arrested." Zhang Rende finally came to his senses and said, "It's really not Hou Haiyang?" Zhao Yonggang talked about Lin Hai's kidnapping case on the phone, saying: "This group of people is a gangster. They handed over the extortion money to the bald boy, but the bald boy didn't pay the money. There was a dispute between the two parties, and they got angry Then they killed the bald third child. They accidentally saw Lin Hai and planned the kidnapping."

Zhang Rende didn't expect that this matter was related to his dead son, so he said, "The truth finally came to light, thank you Yonggang." Zhu Xuelian stood at the door and said, "What's the matter?" Zhang Rende glanced at Hou Zhengli's room, and said, "Hou Haiyang didn't kill anyone, the real culprit has been caught. I'll go tell her the news right now." Zhu Xuelian grabbed Zhang Rende and said, "Xiaoli hasn't had a good rest these days, let her sleep more, and tell her the good news when she wakes up." In the No. 1 Detention Center of Lingxi City, Hou Haiyang had a dream. In the dream, he was tied up and taken to the execution ground. An armed policeman told him to kneel down, but he refused to kneel. Then the armed policeman hit him on the back with the butt of a gun.In his dreams he could hear the thud of the butt of the gun against his back.Afterwards, the armed police pulled the breech of the gun and fired a shot at Hou Haiyang's back.Hou Haiyang felt a huge force, which made him fall to the ground. He looked down at his chest, and saw a big hole in his chest, bleeding continuously. He thought to himself, "I'm going to die, I'm going to die."

Hou Haiyang, who fell to the ground, heard the sound of the armed police pulling the bolt of the gun again. He turned over and sat up, and started to run forward, but no matter how much force he used, he couldn’t run, as if he was trapped in a viscous liquid, with chest tightness and shortness of breath. .After waking up from the nightmare, Hou Haiyang opened his eyes wide. It took a few seconds for him to adapt to the environment in Room 206, and he removed the arm that was pressing his baby face on his chest. Since becoming the deputy team leader on duty, Hou Haiyang found that all the rules have become rules against others. He is quite free in the room. For example, when he wakes up at night, he can go to the convenience freely, and no one cares about him ;He can borrow the books he likes from the library of the detention center and read them at any time; the only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that the detention center still does not allow him to correspond or send him any messages.

Hou Haiyang didn't go back to the bunk right away after being convenient. He looked up at the high window, just in time to see a string of meteors streaking across the sky. He didn't make a wish, but just stared blankly at the window.After watching for a few minutes, Hou Haiyang simply sat in front of the door. He glared at the two people on duty. Seeing Hou Haiyang's menacing eyes, the two dared not look at him, and quickly moved their eyes to the other side. The nightmares struck countless times in the dream, which caused great changes in Hou Haiyang's psychology.He obviously didn't kill anyone, but he was going to be shot. Such a cruel fact made his young heart unacceptable.Time passed little by little, and he had to act more firmly and decisively.

Hou Haiyang stretched out his hand under the board again and pulled the wire. Since he found the wire, he looked for many opportunities to pull the wire, and the wire has been pulled loose.The dream tonight was too scary, and he became in a bad mood, so he didn't hide his actions very much, and yanked the wire hard. The hard work paid off, and finally, the iron wire was pulled out from the board. This iron wire was nearly ten centimeters long, and the exposed section had been polished smooth, while the back section was covered with rust. "If you swallow this piece of wire in your stomach, what will be the consequences? Can you get out of the detention center and go to the hospital for treatment?" Hou Haiyang climbed onto the plank bed holding the piece of wire.Then carefully put the wire in the pocket of the underwear. This inconspicuous piece of wire will be a life-saving straw.

After Waking Up, Babyface took the simple pen made by the master and began to silently write "Moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground". The master deeply sympathized with this, or to put it another way, the master deeply sympathized with Bao Teng.Bao Teng was able to roam the officialdom in Lingxi, and deceived countless high-ranking officials. In addition to his insight into the weaknesses of human nature, he also had a solid foundation in Chinese studies, but his son Bao Jianjun was completely illiterate. This is undoubtedly a tragedy. The master recalled an adapted nursery rhyme that was widely circulated, and said to the baby face: "If you remember it this way, I'm afraid you will be able to remember that there is a bright moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected to be a bowl of soup, raise your head to look at the bright moon, and lower your head to tear your crotch."

Babyface has been in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and he couldn't understand the literati atmosphere of the bright moonlight in front of the bed, bowing his head and thinking about his hometown, but he immediately understood the hooligan culture such as tearing his crotch, and then said back: "The moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be a bowl of soup. Looking up at the bright moon, lowering your head and tearing your crotch", this time he recited every single word without error, without any mistakes. Bao Teng could only smile wryly at the side. When he first saw his son, when he was happy, he wanted to refresh his son's culture before he was sentenced. He needed to know at least a few words. In the past month, under his pressure, his son But I only know thirty or forty characters.When he was excited, he calmed down, knowing that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he handed his son to the master, and asked the master to torment this brat.

Hou Haiyang sat next to Bao Teng, very indifferent to the surrounding things, crossed his legs, looked up at the window, just outside the window a beam of sunlight came in, and it shone hot on his face.Entering the detention center in June, the time slipped to September in pain. At this time, Qiuyun should have been studying in Xiamen, and the distance between herself and the god of death was getting closer and closer.Feeling more sad than heartbroken, he decided to implement the action of swallowing the wire in the past few days. On weekdays, the upper berths took turns to bask in the sun for a while, but for the past two days, Hou Haiyang dominated the sun and spent the longest time in the sun.Although the others are dissatisfied, Hou Haiyang is too powerful now, not only fighting fiercely, but also has a style of Bao Teng in managing people and affairs. Under the lure of Hou Haiyang, corrupt officials and others contributed a lot of money, which greatly improved Live in the number.Therefore, if you bask less in the sun, everyone will be able to endure it.

Bao Teng has been observing Hou Haiyang, and when Hou Haiyang finished basking in the sun, he said, "Manzi, don't always think about the case. When you get here, you can only resign yourself to fate and take every step." Hou Haiyang said dejectedly: "Boss, I don't tell lies. I really didn't kill the bald third child. If he really killed someone, I can figure it out. An Anxin lives in the cell, and now he is really wronged." "Think about how many generals, senior officials and intellectuals entered the bullpen in the 1960s and 1970s. They were more wronged than you, so you have to hold back." Bao Teng spent a lot of time to create a good environment for his son. He spent the most time and worked hard on Hou Haiyang to win over the upper bunk staff.

Hou Haiyang said: "I am only twenty years old, the best time of my life has just begun, and I died unjustly." Bao Teng said: "When you come to this place, every family has a hard-to-recite scripture, and no one feels aggrieved. For example, my son was lost when he was a child. After searching for more than ten years, he finally met in the detention center. Both father and son will be sentenced to heavy sentences. Sentence. It is a tragedy not to be able to find my son, and it is also a tragedy to find my son. Over the years, I have traveled to and from Lingxi Railway Station no less than a hundred times. Just suffocate." Hou Haiyang smiled wryly and said: "You and Babyface met after all, at least there is still a chance to make amends, I have no chance at all, one bullet, this world has nothing to do with me, this is the greatest tragedy." Said When he said this, he seemed to have become an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of the world. Bao Teng said: "If you think like this, life will become very sad. Later I will accept an interview with a TV reporter about finding my son who has been lost for nearly twenty years in the detention center. The tragic story of our family will be exchanged for TV ratings, but in order to please the detention center, my son and I have to expose our pain to the people of the whole country to watch." Hou Haiyang didn't say any more, what he is most concerned about now is what symptoms will appear after swallowing the wire, and whether it can reach the level of being admitted to the hospital.Swallowing the wire, entering the infirmary of the detention center, being sent to the hospital, and being treated in the hospital, there are four key links. The most promising is to escape inside the hospital. "Will I be shackled when I am transferred from the detention center to the hospital? If I am shackled, can I still run away?" Hou Haiyang was a primary school teacher who had just left his job a few months ago and had nothing to do with crimes. Naturally, he has no criminal experience, including prison escape experience, and all his actions are based on his speculation. "If I have to have an operation, I will definitely take the shackles. If I want to run away just after the anesthetic wears off, even if the wound ruptures, I will not hesitate. If you are not cruel to yourself, you will die." Thinking of this, Hou Haiyang came up with another idea: "On the way to the hospital, if I knocked down the police officers next to me, I should be able to escape. They escorted a criminal suspect who was handcuffed and fettered, and they probably didn't carry weapons. An unarmed police officer is a toothless tiger, and I will fight them as hard as I can." He silently ran through the images of the policemen in the detention center. Except for the director, Li Cheng, who looked a bit capable, the rest of the policemen were fat and fat, and had no combat effectiveness.He tried to put the iron wire into his mouth, but the iron wire in his mouth had a strong temperament, which was not so easy to swallow. After some struggle, he made a decision: "Tonight, I will swallow the wire. While swallowing the wire, I have to pretend to be extremely uncomfortable, bite my lips and tongue, and spit out more blood." After making a decision, Hou Haiyang relaxed immediately, and he said to Xiao Qiang beside him: "Corrupt official, you met with the lawyer yesterday, do you have any thoughts?" Under Hou Haiyang's care, Xiao Qiang was no longer bullied. He was very convinced of Hou Haiyang, and said: "The lawyer met him, but it didn't help the case much. He will definitely not be able to escape in ten or eight years. Calm down now and think about it." What I learn most is how to survive after serving my sentence.” He sighed: "I made it to the deputy department level, and the salary I got was only more than 1,400 yuan. It's better to set up a barbecue stall in front of the house to make more money. The projects we handle are all in units of 100 million, tens of billions. There are also a lot of projects, but the comparison between the two shows that there is too much gap and too many temptations. This is to allow the poor to control the distribution of billions of dollars of property. It is difficult not to make mistakes. There are so many incidents in the national transportation system, not without reason. Now that I have gone through this experience in the detention center, I will never do anything illegal again. Freedom, safety, and being with my family is the most important thing.” Hou Haiyang said: "You all still have hope, but I have no hope." Xiao Qiang didn't know how to comfort Hou Haiyang, so he remained silent.After a while, he said, "Brother Man, can you give me some more paracetamol, my head is still burning." There are clinics in the detention center, but the conditions are very simple.Pills that cost a few cents outside are extremely precious inside.The clinic likes to give out pain relievers and paracetamol most. If you have a fever, you will take paracetamol, and for other diseases, you will mostly use pain relievers.Xiao Qiang had a fever yesterday, so Hou Haiyang asked Guanjiao Zhao for some paracetamol.When he got the pills, Xiao Qiang was so moved that his eyes filled with tears. He forgot Hou Haiyang's age and called him Brother Man from the bottom of his heart. In the corner of the urinal, Yang Wensheng, a member of Dongcheng society, was arguing with Fang Head. Yang Wensheng was a little excited, and the veins on his neck appeared. Hou Haiyang will never allow the people in the account to challenge the Shangbun Group. If the challengers are not stopped, the prestige of the Shangbun Group may be damaged.Prestige is invisible and intangible, but it really determines the quality of life of Shangbun Group.He said softly: "Scum, what are you doing?" Yang Wensheng immediately stopped arguing with Fang Head when he heard Hou Haiyang's light words. Hou Haiyang called Fang Head over, and said, "What the hell are you trying to do with him? It's so fucking cheap." Fang Head is a man in his thirties, and he is very restrained in front of Hou Haiyang, like a child who has made a mistake. , touching the back of his head, giggling.Chai Ji crossed his legs beside him, and said: "These people are beaten, and if they don't beat them for three days, they will go to the house to expose the tiles." Hou Haiyang said: "Fighting alone is not enough. What is the biggest feature of 206? It is the rules." Those who fight fiercely can also gain a foothold in the detention center, but they can only be third-rate characters, who can only protect themselves.He knew that Chai Ji and Fang Head only had this little understanding ability, so he didn't explain much, and squinted his eyes to think about his thoughts. "There must be a hand in the dark who is arranging the fate of the world. If Bao Teng and his son Bao Jianjun hadn't gotten lost at the train station, Bao Jianjun would definitely not be illiterate. According to his age, he should be able to have a proper job even if he can't go to university. In all likelihood, he will not enter the detention center. Bao Teng seldom talks about his criminal history, but from just a few words, he can still see the impact of the loss of his son. Lost has changed dramatically, and that change is irreversible." Hou Haiyang's thoughts quickly turned from Bao Teng to himself: "My fate was also tricked by the heavens. If I didn't fight with the bald third child in a fit of anger, I must be helping my sister manage the decoration company now." Thinking of the inspirational sayings that he had learned before, "Heaven will send a great mission to the people, you must first pain your mind and work your muscles and bones" and other inspirational sayings, he secretly cursed: "When you are shot, you will lose your life, and the heaven will send you a great mission and you will be bullshit." usefulness." While thinking about it, the time teller who was in charge of watching the clock and wind turned his head, came to Hou Haiyang again, and said, "Brother Man, I saw Director Li coming with some plain clothes." "Plain clothes?" Hou Haiyang was a little strange. The time teller said: "They are not wearing police uniforms, so they must be policemen, especially criminal police." A little displeased, he said: "It's normal for the police to come to the detention center, so make a fuss." The time teller stood in front of the door, turned around again, and said, "Brother Man, they are here." Hou Haiyang was startled suddenly, and thought, "What's the matter, are you going to interrogate me again? There will be several plain clothes." With the sound of the door opening, Li Cheng, the boss of the detention center, appeared at the door. He scanned the many bald heads in the cell, and then his eyes fell on Hou Haiyang.He had observed Hou Haiyang through the monitor many times in the duty room, and asked No. 206 to find out about Hou Haiyang's situation.Hou Haiyang is the deputy team leader appointed by the government. Naturally, he is not easy to be bullied in the account, but he did not expect that the young Hou Haiyang has quite the leadership qualities, and he has established prestige in a short period of time. Even without Bao Teng, he can Can hold the situation. "Hou Haiyang, pack up your things and come out." After looking back, Li Cheng gave a brief instruction. Hou Haiyang subconsciously touched the iron wire hidden in his pocket, and his first thought was: "Do you want me to adjust the number?" Then he realized that it was wrong, "If you really want to adjust the number, why do we need so many policemen? gone." Hou Haiyang walked out of the No. 1 door, and saw the long-lost Dongcheng Branch Fattu. He used to be very fat, but today he is as fat as a Maitreya Buddha.He had been in the cell for three months, and he was used to seeing the policeman's ugly face, but he was not used to seeing the policeman's enthusiastic smile all of a sudden.In the sky, streams of sunlight broke through the thick clouds, like a heavy machine gun firing bullets, and rushed towards the earth. Hou Haiyang walked to the iron fence door, stretched out his hand, and was about to put on handcuffs.Officer Zhao showed a smile on his face, and said, "You don't need to wear handcuffs anymore. Don't be dazed, let's go." The tone signature is normal, but the sentence "you don't need to wear handcuffs from now on" is very abnormal.The iron door slammed shut, and No. 206 exploded. When walking with Li Cheng in the courtyard, Hou Haiyang habitually held his head in both hands, with simple luggage dangling on his back. The police in the detention center and Fat Tu all looked at Hou Haiyang walking with his head in his arms, but no one corrected his actions.When he reached the cordon, Hou Haiyang raised his head and reported to the armed police upstairs: "Report, one of the criminal suspects goes in." The voice of the armed police came from upstairs: "Go." At the second iron gate, Hou Zhengli stood behind the iron railing and looked at her younger brother. In less than three months, her younger brother was obviously different from before. His face was pale and his body had lost weight. There is a faint indifference, indescribable seriousness, and a bit of viciousness.In three months, my younger brother seemed to have transformed from a young man into a mature man. Looking at her younger brother who was holding his head in his hands and raising his head to report, Hou Zhengli burst into tears. Hou Houde and Zhang Rende did not enter the second iron gate. They sat on the bench in the corner of the hall without speaking, and looked at the first iron gate quietly.The first iron gate was not a railing, but a whole iron gate, blocking the line of sight.Hou Houde still stared at the iron gate closely, his eyes seemed to penetrate the iron gate. Zhang Rende looked at Hou Houde's expression and said, "My in-laws, let's go in." Hou Houde withdrew his gaze and said, "You don't need to go in, anyway, he will come out in a while." "Hangyang was wronged this time, and must have suffered in the detention center." "He is young and frivolous, and it is good to teach him a lesson." "This kind of lesson is too much, and the ocean must be well psychologically counseled." "The second baby is out, and I will go back to Liuhe tomorrow. My baby's mother is not in good health, and she is very tired at home alone." The two chatted for a while, but Hou Haiyang hadn't appeared from the first iron gate.Hou Houde gradually became anxious, pretending to be indifferent on his face, and subconsciously clasped his hands tightly. In the anxious waiting, more than half an hour seemed very long.The first iron gate was opened, and Fattu from the Dongcheng Sub-bureau appeared first, followed by Li Cheng, Hou Zhengli, and Hou Haiyang, who was still carrying the clothes he had used in No. 206. Seeing his father, Hou Haiyang called out, "Dad." His father, Hou Houde, had gray hair and was at least ten years older than he thought, which made Hou Haiyang panic. Hou Houde looked at his son, the corners of his eyes were moist, his stomach was full of words, he held back for a long time but didn't say anything, he just said: "Go out to eat something later, what do you want to eat?" Hearing his father's question, Hou Haiyang's stomach began to wriggle, and he couldn't help making a loud cooing sound, saying: "Douhua, burnt white, fat intestines." In the detention center, as the main member of the upper bunk, he really didn't feel hungry. But in a place where instant noodles are regarded as the supreme delicacy, the food I was used to from snacks appeared in my dreams countless times.When my father asked what to eat, he blurted out. Hou Zhengli was pregnant for more than three months, her stomach was slightly protruding, and she said to Li Cheng: "Hou Haiyang has been in the detention center for a while, thank Director Li for his concern." Her thanks came from the bottom of her heart. The detention center police are very different.On the contrary, Zhao Guanjiao raised some requirements for children to study. This requirement is not too much, but it is only one of the conditions of exchange. Li Cheng said: "In the case of Hou Haiyang, I thought it was suspicious at the beginning, but now it proves that I still have some vision." Zhang Rende said: "Director Li governs all parties, and 'Lingxi Look' is not only a model for the whole province, but also top-notch compared with the whole country." In the Dongcheng branch, Fat Tu decided that Hou Haiyang was the murderer, and tortured him for his confession. Now that he knew that he had made a mistake, he still felt awkward facing Hou Haiyang.Hearing Li Chengzhi's words, he felt very bored, and walked to the office hall alone without greeting everyone. Hou Haiyang looked at Pang Tu with indifferent eyes, neither attacked nor took the initiative to reconcile.After staying in the detention center for more than 100 days, he has seen many dark sides of society, much deeper than his peers.After completing all the formalities, Hou Haiyang's family walked out of the gate of the detention center. Looking back at the high walls of the detention center, the barbed wire fences on the high walls, and the armed police box, Hou Haiyang still feels like he is in a dream. An hour ago, he was planning to escape by self-harm. An hour later, he became a prisoner. a free man.The contrast between before and after made him a little dazed.Hou Haiyang held the wire tightly and said to himself, "Am I really free?" Hou Zhengli felt sad looking at her younger brother, and said bitterly: "The Dongcheng branch has handled an unjust, false and wrong case, and we have to apply for compensation, otherwise my brother will have been imprisoned for more than a hundred days in vain." Hou Haiyang took his eyes back from the detention center, and said: "I'm entering the detention center, my sister must have done enough, you have to pay attention to your body." He thought about this countless times in the cell, and the first thing he did when he saw his sister was Greet the body. Hou Zhengli rubbed her belly and said, "This is my child and Huling's. My greatest wish is for the child to be healthy. I will definitely be careful. This time, for your sake, Huling's parents ran back and forth and put in a lot of effort. " Hou Houde looked at his son's pale and thin face, and said to his daughter: "Let's find a restaurant nearby first. I heard that the food in the detention center is not good. Your brother must have been starved." After leaving the detention center and entering Dongcheng District, the two cars separated and went home separately. Hou Haiyang was not used to the dense flow of people like sardines in Dongcheng District, and even felt a sense of suffocation.At the same time, he has a sense of freedom that is incomparably vast.These two opposite feelings are formed in a narrow space of about 20 square meters.The closed environment, the lack of materials, and the intriguing crowd form a unique psychology of the detention center. When it collides with the outside world, it forms a strong psychological contrast. Hou Zhengli drove the car to a secluded place, pulled out a plate of firecrackers from the rear of the car, unwrapped the wrapping paper, laid it flat on the ground, and said, "Erba, light the fire. According to the tradition of the Lingxi Detention Center, you have to blow it up after you get out." Firecrackers, get rid of bad luck." Hou Houde didn't really believe in these superstitious methods, but he didn't make a sound to stop him, and stood aside to watch. After the firecrackers were lit, they crackled and exploded, billowing thick smoke.Hou Haiyang was very close to the bombing point, his ears were buzzing from the shock, and the strong smell of gunpowder came straight into his nose. He didn't show any expression. He reached into his trouser pocket with his right hand and took out the wire. After setting off the firecrackers, Hou Zhengli drove the car to a bathing shop in Dongcheng District. When she got off the car, she held a bag of clothes in her hand and said, "Er baby, go take a big bath now. road." Hou Haiyang said: "I was released without charge, so I can't talk about taking a new path." Hou Zhengli said: "It's just a meaning. You've been in there for more than a hundred days, and your body stinks. Hurry up and wash it. You're not allowed to eat until you're clean." When the gentle pool water wrapped his body tightly, Hou Haiyang thought of the cold groundwater in the detention center, and couldn't help feeling a world away.He relaxed his whole body, letting his body float in the pool water, ups and downs.After washing for half an hour, Hou Haiyang didn't come out of the water until his stomach was growling with hunger. The dirt on his body was washed clean, but his mood had not recovered, and he was still gloomy and depressed. Coming out of the bathhouse, Hou Haiyang's pale face was blushed, adding a bit of energy. Hou Zhengli said: "I forgot to bring you a new coat, I will wear it for a while and go home to change." Hou Haiyang said, "Eat." Hou Zhengli then drove the car to a small shop with a dilapidated facade. Outside the small shop were several vats, and under the vats was a briquette stove. This was a typical Maodong shop arrangement.Although burning coal is strictly prohibited in Lingxi City in order to purify the air, briquettes are cheaper than gas tanks and natural gas. Driven by profit, even if the city management department cleans up the briquettes repeatedly, there will always be a situation where wildfires will continue to burn and spring breeze will regenerate. "Three, what do you want to eat?" The owner of the small restaurant is a middle-aged woman with greasy clothes, and she really has a Maodong accent. Hou Houde and Hou Haiyang lived in the city for a short time, and they always regarded themselves as outsiders in the city, with a weak sense of belonging, and they felt kind and natural when they heard the local accent.Hou Houde came to the store with three pairs of molds, and put the molds into the boiling water for cooking noodles. This is one of the traditional disinfection methods in Maodong, and both the store and customers accept it. The middle-aged woman didn't care about Hou Houde's behavior, and said: "Ban Shui Dou Hua, it's very good, how about three bowls?" Hou Houde looked back at his son's pale face, and said, "Three bowls of bean curd." He lifted the lid of a antimony pot, and the pot was full of fat sausages in red oil, which was really tempting, and said, "One serving of fat sausages, one serving of roasted white meat. .” The middle-aged woman said enthusiastically: "Our pig's trotter flower is very comfortable, how about a copy?" "Let's have one." "We have wolfberry wine, half a catty?" Hou Houde doesn't like drinking, so he shook his head and said, "Don't drink, just eat." The middle-aged woman was busy all by herself, and her hands and feet were very nimble. After a while, she put red and yellow fat intestines, snow-white bean curds, golden-yellow roasted bean curds, and hoof curds sprinkled with chopped green onions on a table, and Hai Hai was free. With a bowl of rice, I started eating without waiting for my father to nod.When he first moved the chopsticks, he tried to maintain a certain speed, but as the most simple aroma of the food exploded on the tip of his tongue, the aroma occupied his mind, and the speed of moving the chopsticks accelerated unconsciously. The time was swept away. Hou Houde and Hou Zhengli still held the chopsticks and didn't do anything, just watched him eat. "Another bowl of Shaobai." Hou Haiyang asked for it. The middle-aged woman put the boiled white on the table, and made a joke: "People are iron and rice is steel, and two bowls will be hard after eating. This young man insists on it." When Hou Haiyang ate the fourth bowl of rice, all the bean curd and burnt rice on the table were swept into his stomach, and he drank half a bowl of water from the bean curd, then put down the bowl, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "I'm not hungry anymore. "The younger brother swept away several large bowls of food like a storm. Hou Zhengli could imagine the hard life in the detention center, and couldn't help the tears rolling in his eyes again, and said: "The Dongcheng branch has handled an unjust, false and wrong case. We must ask for an explanation." The only relationship Hou Houde could rely on in Lingxi was Qiu Zhongyong introduced by his student Du Yang. He had contacted Qiu Zhongyong three times, and he had a good impression of this deputy director transferred from Maodong. , have to forgive others and forgive others." Hou Zhengli felt that her father was too timid and timid. She was afraid of leaves falling on her head when she walked on the road, and she was afraid of ants crawling into the house when she was sitting at home. However, she was unwilling to argue with her father when her brother was out of the detention center. Hou Houde said again: "I want to meet with my in-laws today. Our family treats them to a meal to express our gratitude. I will go back to Liuhe by bus tomorrow morning. It's been a while since school started, so I can't always ask others to substitute for me." Hou Haiyang burped and said, "Didn't my mother come over?" Hou Houde said: "I haven't told your mother about Zhang Huling and you. She is not in good health. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it after hearing it. You should go home with me for a few days, rest well, and take care of your health before we talk about it." for the future." Hou Haiyang nodded without raising any objections. After a full meal, sitting in the car and watching the scenery on the street, the beautiful image of Qiuyun emerged in his heart. During the monotonous, boring and hard days in the detention center, this beautiful image came to his mind countless times, giving him a strong motivation to survive. It also made life in the detention center a little easier. When the car arrived at the door of Hou Zhengli's house, Hou Haiyang was upset in his stomach, his stomach was wriggling violently, and before the car stopped, he picked up the keys and ran upstairs. While running, he almost spewed out yellow and white things several times.After opening the door, he began to untie his pants in the living room. When he came to the bathroom, he was still squatting halfway, only to hear the sound of splashing, and the yellow and white things gushed out. "The upper couplet, with confidential documents in hand, stepped on both sides of the Yellow River; the second couplet, machine guns in the front and cannons in the back." This is a popular couplet in Bashan Normal School, and Hou Haiyang often quotes it. Now thinking of this couplet, he used " The two words "shuangkuai" make a horizontal comment for this couplet. After the convenience, I feel comfortable all over, and the gloom when I came out of the detention center dissipated a little. Hou Houde sat on the sofa in the living room, frowned, and said: "Just now in the store, Erwa can't let Erwa eat too much. The food in the detention center is not oily at all. He eats too much oil, and his stomach will definitely not be able to bear it." Hou Haiyang said: "Even if you want to have diarrhea, you must eat a big meal." After coming out of the detention center, Hou Haiyang finally said something suitable for his age, which made Hou Zhengli heave a sigh of relief. She took out new clothes and said, "Erba, change into new clothes quickly, and get rid of the musty smell of the detention center. " Hou Haiyang said: "I'm not busy, I'll call Mom first." Hou Houde hurriedly warned: "Your mother doesn't know that you have entered the detention center, so don't mention it to her, lest she worry." Hou Haiyang said: "Does Mom know about brother-in-law?" Hou Houde didn't answer, and waited until his daughter Hou Zhengli walked into the back room before saying: "I can't hide this matter, I must say it, and I will talk about it this time when I go home." If something goes wrong, the wife will definitely be knocked down, and if the son-in-law has an accident, it will be fine after the wife cries a few times. After dialing the phone, Hou Haiyang said with a trembling voice, "Mom, I'm the second child." "You baby, why don't you call my mother." Hearing his mother's familiar voice, Hou Haiyang tried his best to hold back his tears and said, "Mom, I'm busy." Du Xiaohua scolded: "I have to call my mother even if I am busy. Your father hasn't come back yet, and school has started." "My dad and I are coming back tomorrow. Dad rarely traveled far in the past. He took advantage of the opportunity to walk more, read thousands of books, and travel thousands of miles." Du Xiaohua happily said: "Okay, don't call. The phone bill is very expensive. Tomorrow I will kill a chicken and feed it to you father and son." Putting down the phone, Hou Haiyang avoided his father's white hair, lowered his head, and said, "I have to take a shower, and I always feel that the smell of the detention center has not been washed off." In the bathroom, Hou Haiyang looked up at the hot water gushing down from the shower head. He couldn't help but think of the two punishments of being hit on the head and dripping water through the stone in Room 206. Then he thought of the people and things in the detention center, and said to himself: "Bao Teng is good to me. I really learned a lot from him, but it's a pity that I didn't say goodbye to their father and son when I left." The most ordinary life in an ordinary family is a luxury in a detention center. Hou Haiyang was locked in a closed room, letting countless water droplets wash over his body. He had an urge to be reborn, and he covered his mouth in the sound of the shower and sobbed. . Hou Haiyang had never cried from being beaten at the Dongcheng Sub-bureau to being tortured in the detention center. Now that he had regained his freedom and new life, he was sobbing silently in the warm shower, letting tears run down his face.And the tears mixed in the water, flowed through the neck, waist, legs, flowed to the ground, got into the sewer, and flowed to an infinitely dark place. After taking a shower, crying, and putting on new clothes when he came out, Hou Haiyang swept away the bad luck of the detention center and regained his energy. Hou Houde pointed to the small bottle on the table, and said: "You have diarrhea, eat some berberine, and have dinner with your in-laws at night, so don't make a fool of yourself at the dinner table." After eating the berberine, Hou Haiyang saw that his father still had no intention of leaving the living room, endured it for a while, and finally dialed Qiuyun's pager with hope.This string of paging numbers is as deeply engraved in his mind as the phone number at home. During the 100 days and nights in the detention center, he often read this string of numbers, and imagined that if his brain could send out radio waves, he would be able to Send radio waves to Qiuyun in the detention center. In No. 206, Qiu Yun, the family member he misses the most, is also regarded as a family member.From the extent of missing, Qiu Yun appeared in his mind more times than his parents.Walking out of the detention center, meeting his family, and talking to his mother on the phone, he missed Qiuyun wholeheartedly. The time waiting for the call back was very difficult. Hou Haiyang was originally sitting on the sofa, but when he was watching TV, he subconsciously sat cross-legged on the sofa.In room 206, Bao Teng had strict rules, and everyone had to sit on the board for a long time every day. Over time, he got used to this sitting posture. After Hou Houde saw his youngest son, he always felt that there was something different about him from before, but he couldn't tell exactly what it was at the moment. In short, he felt that his son had grown up suddenly and became a bit strange.
