Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Savior Daniel Miller

Paul Miller was ill, with a fever that had begun in the evening and grew hotter on his brow as the night wore on. Wanting to lower his brother's temperature, but there was no water at all, Daniel Miller ran to the city wall, shook the barbed wire and shouted to the prison guard: "A prisoner has a high fever, can you give me some water and medicine!" The prison guard took a water bottle and poured water into his mouth. After giving Daniel Miller a blank look, he walked away without even saying a word of refusal. Daniel Miller actually knew that it was impossible to ask for water or medicine at this time, but he always had to try before he was reconciled.So he looked at Liu Tiantian's window again, but was still disappointed: although the window was open, he didn't see Prison Doctor Liu.He had no choice but to walk back angrily.

Seeing his younger brother come back empty-handed, Paul Miller swallowed forcefully, making his throat slightly moist, and moaned comfortingly: "It's okay... I'm sick because of a rush... Don't worry, you can find someone who escaped from prison." This way, I can be more than half better..." Daniel Miller knew that his brother was really in a hurry.When I didn't come, my brother's mental strings were tightly stretched, and he didn't even notice any discomfort in his body.After I came to the prison, I relaxed, coupled with the pressure brought about by Wang Hai's murder and Bu Zuo's investigation, my brother's body collapsed like a dam burst.

But Daniel Miller was not too anxious. Long-term field expeditions allowed him to accumulate rich experience. He had a way to make his brother's fever subside, but it was not the time for treatment. Because the prison is a mess right now, and Kunjin is coming their way. "How is Lao Mu?" Kunjin's drake voice had already come in before the person arrived, but it was even harsher because of his thirst. "Not yet." Daniel Miller glanced at Kunjin. "Or for a meeting?" From afternoon to night, Ye Wancheng had already held three "meetings".Of course, the so-called "meeting" meant that he called the prisoners together, and then gave them stern lectures.However, although the sound was loud, the effect was not good, and the person who killed Wang Hai was not found until the evening.Hunger and thirst made Ye Wancheng even more angry, so after nightfall, he started to make arrangements for the fourth "meeting".

Kun Jin laughed twice. "Yeah, if we can't find the murderer, we're all going to have a hard time. Can Lao Mu participate? Boss Ye is still counting on Lao Mu's advice." "Do you think he can go like this?" Daniel Miller pointed to his brother moaning on the bed. Kunjin blinked his eyes a few times and remained silent.Although Paul Miller was in a coma, facing Kunjin, he was still a little sober.He tried his best to beckon to Kunjin to signal him to come over, and then took out a few banknotes from under the pillow. "Second in charge, please speak kindly to Boss Ye for me. If you see that I am so sick, I won't be able to hold a meeting. As for brother Daniel Miller, let him take care of me here."

"It's easy to say, easy to say, you can rest easy and recuperate." Kunjin smiled, stuffing the money into his pocket while guaranteeing the ticket. Daniel Miller looked upset, and said coldly: "Brother Mu is so generous, why can't you get some water? Others don't have it, so can you?" Kunjin squeezed his triangular eyes and looked at Daniel Miller, a trace of hostility flashed across his face, but he immediately changed into a fake smile.He pointed to his chapped lips. "If there is water, can my lips become like this?" After finishing speaking, he walked out unsteadily, not knowing whether he was pressed by the money in his pocket, or his body was too weak to walk.

After Kunkin left, Daniel Miller knew the time had come and asked his brother, "Do you know where I can get plastic sheeting?" "Plastic sheet?" Paul Miller didn't understand why his younger brother suddenly wanted this thing, thought for a while and said, "You should have it at Ye Wancheng, and then at Ma Dashan's." Daniel Miller nodded. "Then I'll go to John Ma." Just as he was about to go out, Daniel Miller was stopped by his brother. "By the way, I remembered one thing—John Ma has...high blood pressure, and he goes to the prison doctor to check his blood pressure every...every two days...you can check his mouth and see if he can help Get some medicine back." After saying this, Paul Miller was so weak that he could only gasp for breath.

Upon seeing this, Daniel Miller walked quickly to John Ma's cell without asking further questions. Along the way, he looked at the dejected prisoners one by one, feeling really uncomfortable, as if he had arrived in a slum.But when I think about it again, why am I not a part of this slum?Perhaps among the prisoners in Sauron Prison, the only one who really lived like a person was the mysterious old man John Ma. Walking into John Ma's cell, Daniel Miller was surprised before he saw this mysterious old man—it turned out that there was a prison guard in the cell! "What are you doing here?" The prison guard squinted at Daniel Miller.

"You just don't give water or food, didn't you say that you are not allowed to take a stroll?" Daniel Miller replied slowly while glancing into the prison cell, making the prison guard's face turn red and turn pale. "Haha, I like this temper." A loud voice came from inside, and then an old man of medium build with white hair on his temples paced out. It seems that this is John Ma. Daniel Miller bowed slightly to the old man, and just about to speak, John Ma stretched out his hand and said, "You are Paul's good friend Daniel Miller, come in and sit down."

Daniel Miller glanced at the guard, who rolled his eyes, but said nothing.It seems that John Ma's identity is really special here.Thinking about it, Daniel Miller walked into John Ma's study. John Ma's study is actually very simple, with bookcases on the four walls and a writing desk in the middle. Of course, they are all simply built with wooden boards.Daniel Miller saw a jug of water on the desk at a glance, and he understood a little bit. "It seems that although Mr. Ma has preferential treatment, there are still people watching." John Ma laughed and pointed to the prison guards outside: "Buzuo didn't dare to cut off food and water for me, but he also sent someone to watch over me to prevent me from giving water and food to others."

Daniel Miller said with a smile: "People have to bow their heads under the eaves, but Mr. Ma must know that we have a philosophy in the United States called 'No Potential,' so let it be." John Ma looked at Daniel Miller for a few moments, nodded and said, "That's right, it's like meeting you as a little friend today. This is a happy event in life. By the way, what's the matter with me?" "I need some plastic sheeting, do you have any here?" Daniel Miller asked bluntly. "Plastic sheet?" John Ma was taken aback for a moment, then nodded. "Wait for me for a while."

After finishing speaking, John Ma walked into the innermost room and took out three large plastic sheets after a while. "Are these enough?" "Enough," Daniel Miller took over. "Then I won't bother you. I'll come over to ask you for advice when I have time." Interacting with people is very strange, just like the saying "The white hair is as new as before", although Daniel Miller is the first It was the first time I saw John Ma, but he didn't feel unfamiliar. Instead, he was as familiar as an old friend who had known each other for many years. After bidding farewell to John Ma, Daniel Miller walked out, but the prison guard stopped him again. "What are you doing with the plastic sheet?" "Wrapped in plastic, you will sweat, and sweat will quench your thirst." After speaking, Daniel Miller glanced at the dumbfounded prison guard, smiled and walked towards the cliff. "Squeeze your thirst with sweat, wouldn't you die faster?" Until Daniel Miller walked away, the prison guard was still muttering to himself.Hearing this from the side, John Ma couldn't help laughing. Naturally, he wasn't so stupid, but he couldn't guess Daniel Miller's intentions.But John Ma didn't ask Daniel Miller, that's how smart people communicate, and it's better to hear about it than to ask. Since Daniel Miller didn't say it, why should he ask? In fact, Daniel Miller also thought the same way.When he saw prison guards guarding John Ma's cell, he didn't mention the medicine.Since John Ma has been guarded closely, why should I add trouble to him?What's more, if I can get water and medicine, it's nothing more than spending more work and time. Daniel Miller did not go back to the cell, but walked straight to the edge of the cliff.No prisoners nearby paid attention to him, because they were all summoned to Ye Wancheng's side for a "meeting". What Daniel Miller was waiting for was this opportunity that no one else had. In the night, Ye Wancheng's yelling and Kun Jin's support came from afar, like two crosstalkers singing together.Daniel Miller was not in the mood to listen, so he quickened his pace and came near the cliff. With the moonlight and the light of the searchlight, Daniel Miller found a big tree in a remote corner of the cliff.He unfolded all three plastic sheets and laid them flat on the ground; he found some clean stones and pressed them on the plastic sheet; then he broke some young branches with thick branches from the big tree and put them on top; finally Then tie the plastic sheet tightly, but put a branch inside, prop up the "pocket" made of plastic sheet, and put it in a corner where no one passes by. After doing all this, Daniel Miller stopped to rest for a few minutes, but then started to get busy again. He tore off two prison uniforms, tied them around his ankles, and walked along the edge of the cliff.He was not afraid of being seen by the sentinels in the watchtower, because anyone who saw it would think Daniel Miller was taking a boring walk, but only he himself knew what the purpose was. Daniel Miller first searched for tree crevices, corners of cliffs, and dark and damp places, and soon found some beetles.The beetles here are not big or small, about four or five centimeters, and it is easy to collect a lot. After pocketing the beetles, Daniel Miller stood up and walked around. This time he did not observe carefully with his eyes, but sniffed here and there from time to time.Not long after, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell. Daniel Miller was overjoyed, it was very close to a smell called Swamp Healing Grass.Stumbling along the smell for a while, when the smell became stronger and stronger, Daniel Miller found a plant more than 20 centimeters high and covered with fluff in a dark corner of the cliff.Although somewhat different in appearance from marsh healer, the toothed, heart-shaped leaves, wheat spike-shaped petals, and white spots on the petals indicate that this plant is a relative of marsh healer. Although the swamp healing grass is only a herb for treating trauma, Daniel Miller knew that it would never grow alone, and there must be other types of herbs nearby.And the more herbs with opposite smells, the easier it is to accompany them, so Daniel Miller sniffed vigorously, because what he was looking for was a fragrant herb. Sure enough, after a while, Daniel Miller smelled a fragrant smell. After searching for a few steps along the source of the smell, Daniel Miller was overjoyed.In a bush he saw several clusters of vines clinging thinly to the bushes, with small yellow flowers like daisies blooming on the cracked leaves. Daniel Miller knew that this herb was called chamomile, and the sap could To treat headache, fever and cold, he picked some in a hurry and ran back to the cell happily. Paul Miller had already passed out from the fever, and Daniel Miller pushed his brother several times before waking him up. "Come on, moisten your lips!" Daniel Miller untied the cloth strip around his ankle, put it next to his brother's lips and twisted it vigorously, and the water dripped into Paul Miller's mouth. "You, where did you get the water?" Paul Miller asked in surprise after taking more than a dozen sips. Daniel Miller said with a smile: "It's simple, tie a strip of cloth around the ankle, and then walk through the dew-covered bushes and grass, and the dew on the grass will soak the strip. But it's night, There is not a lot of dew, so you can use them to moisten your throat and take medicine later." "Take medicine?" Paul Miller thought he had heard wrong.As soon as the clinker finished speaking, the younger brother stuffed a few leaves into his mouth. "Chew hard and swallow the juice of the leaves. This can cure cold and fever." A few minutes later, at the urging of his brother, Paul Miller swallowed all the bitter juice.Daniel Miller also breathed a sigh of relief. He had taken this herb before and knew that it was very effective. According to his estimation, his brother's fever would definitely subside after a night of sleep. At this time, Ye Wancheng's yelling had stopped, and a group of shambling black shadows were slowly moving in the distance. It seemed that Boss Ye's fourth "meeting" was over.Daniel Miller guessed that this "meeting" would not have any results, because the murderer was a spy, and he must have thought carefully before he did it. It is estimated that no one discovered it at the time.So Daniel Miller did not go out to inquire about the news of the meeting, but lay down on the bed early.Now that there is no water or food, he needs to conserve as much energy as possible, and he has to get up in the middle of the night to retrieve the "treasures" in the plastic bags before the prisoners wake up.As for how to deal with the next move, let's wait until the physical and mental recovery. When Daniel Miller opened his eyes, there was still no light in the sky.However, when his eyes adapted to the darkness, Daniel Miller saw that the night sky was no longer pitch black, but rather gray.He walked to his brother's bed and probed his forehead. Apart from the slight heat, there was a layer of fine sweat. Daniel Miller breathed a sigh of relief and tiptoed out. He walked carefully through the cells and went straight to the cliff, but he did not turn to the place where the plastic sheet was placed last night, but continued to walk forward in the shadow of the cliff, although there were some prisoners under the trees near the cliff , but they were all asleep. Daniel Miller deftly walked around the prisoners in his dream, and stopped until he reached the prison "toilet" - the huge pit. Since seeing this deep pit for the first time, Daniel Miller has been full of curiosity about it, and always intends to find an opportunity to investigate it carefully.But a series of unexpected events in the prison made him unable to spare time—Wang Hai was killed on the evening of the day he entered the prison, followed by Bu Zuo's order to cut off water and food, and then his brother fell seriously ill again.Until this moment, Daniel Miller seized a chance to come back to this deep pit. After cautiously looking around, Daniel Miller got down on his stomach, put his ears on the ground, and listened attentively to the sounds in the deep pit. The dead of night and the silence of everything is exactly what Daniel Miller wanted.Otherwise, hearing will always be affected in a noisy environment during the day.Sure enough, after listening quietly for a few minutes, the sound of running water from the bottom of the pit really entered Daniel Miller's ears.Daniel Miller was overjoyed in his heart, and slowly moved around the pit, continuing to listen from different positions.Ten minutes later, Daniel Miller took a long breath and slowly got up.Although he didn't see the specific situation of the water flow in the deep pit, but based on the sound he heard, he already knew the direction of the water flow and the depth of the big pit. At this time, although the stars are still twinkling in the night sky, there is already a glimmer of dawn where the sea meets the sky.Daniel Miller stopped staying here, and continued to walk carefully along the edge of the cliff. The further he went, the closer he was to Ye Wancheng's territory, but Daniel Miller's eyes became brighter and brighter. This is the effect brought about by the many vines growing beside the rugged rock walls. These vines twist and turn around the rock walls and branches, like black poisonous snakes in the night, but Daniel Miller can see Gotta drool. Because that's exactly what he was looking for - nettles! Although there are vines on the cliffs near the "slums", they are not nettles. The ropes made of them are very fragile when dry and cannot withstand long-term tossing.But the nettles here are different. The stems of nettles are a source of high-quality fibers, and they are perfect for making ropes. Daniel Miller stared greedily for several times before turning back the same way. He quietly walked back to the place where the plastic sheet was placed last night, picked up a "plastic bag" and weighed it, and then smiled. From the weight, he knew that the "baby" was already inside. Daniel Miller picked up the other two plastic bags, and was about to check them, when he suddenly stopped - there were faint footsteps from not far away, which seemed to belong to two people, and they were getting closer. Come to him. "Who else wakes up earlier than me at this time?" Daniel Miller was wondering while stuffing the plastic bag into a secluded place, squatting tightly against the cliff, and carefully observing the people on the opposite side. movement. The footsteps slowly approached, but stopped a dozen meters away from him, and then a man's voice entered Daniel Miller's ears. Although the sound was very small, it was easy to hear with Daniel Miller's hearing hear. "I really didn't know that Wang Hai would be killed, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of that if I was killed." The man's voice was unfamiliar, and Daniel Miller hadn't heard it in prison, but a muffled grunt let him know who the other man was. In the hoarseness, there was also the piercing sound of the shovel sliding across the ground, it was Kun Jin's voice! Who is Kunkin here with?What are they discussing furtively? While Daniel Miller was thinking, Kunjin's voice sounded. "You fucking think I'm a fool! You gave me such an idea, then I encouraged Ye Wancheng, and then Wang Hai was killed in that chaotic time. Are these things accidental? I think It was your plan!" Hearing this, Daniel Miller understood a little bit.It seems that Kun Jin, a cunning guy, suspected that the chaos before Wang Hai was killed was premeditated just like himself, and this idea was obviously made by the person opposite Kun Jin. Daniel Miller poked his head out a little to see who the man was.At this moment, there were a few more footsteps, and it seemed that the man was stepping back, getting closer to the place where Daniel Miller was hiding. "Second boss, I really want to give you a good idea! I've been with you for so many years, don't you still believe me?" Following the voice, the man moved a few more steps, as if he was being held tightly by Kun Jin. pressing. The sound was close at hand, and Daniel Miller's cold sweat broke out. If they took another three or four steps, they would definitely find themselves, what should they do?He was quick to think, and quickly lay down on the ground, snoring slightly like a sleeping person. "Don't talk, someone is here!" Kunjin's ears were as sharp as his voice, and after hearing the snoring, he hurriedly covered the other person's mouth, and tiptoed over. Daniel Miller continued to snore lightly and pretend to be asleep.He wasn't worried that Kunjin would recognize him, because when he lay down just now, he turned his face to the ground, and it was hard for Jin to see his appearance in the dark.He was even less worried that Kun Jin would attack him because he was afraid of the incident. Now that Wang Hai had just died, Kun Jin was not stupid enough to add fuel to the fire at this time. Sure enough, Kunjin breathed a sigh of relief after looking at it a few times. "Damn it, a poor ghost sleeps here." After speaking, he waved at the man. "Let's go, let's not stay here. You'd better tell the truth. If I find out that you told me a lie, I will make you die worse than Wang Hai!" Daniel Miller stopped snoring when he heard the footsteps of the two gradually disappearing, but he didn't get up from the ground until the footsteps disappeared completely.But before walking a few steps towards the place where the plastic sheet was hidden, he stopped abruptly. Vaguely, he seemed to hear the sound of people breathing again. The sound was very small, and it rang a few times when he lifted his foot just now, but it disappeared without a trace at this moment. No matter how Daniel Miller pricked up his ears, he couldn't hear the strange sound again. "Maybe it's all trees and trees? Or maybe it's the sound made by some small animal?" Daniel Miller murmured to himself, then walked quietly, walked to the place where the plastic bags were hidden, and saw that the three plastic bags were in good condition. Just breathed a sigh of relief there.But when his eyes moved to a few trees on the edge of the cliff, cold sweat broke out all over his body! ——A few branches full of green leaves hang obliquely on the ground, as if they were broken by someone. Daniel Miller walked up to it quickly, touched the leaves, and felt even colder in his heart. —the leaves are dry and there is no dew on them. Daniel Miller gritted his teeth and pondered for a moment, then sighed, and tiptoed back to the cell. He slowly opened the plastic bag, then carefully poured it into the water glass, and saw clear water flowing into the water glass along the plastic cloth. After the three plastic bags were poured out, two water glasses were filled with water! Daniel Miller picked up the water glass and sniffed greedily, as if he saw a source of water in the desert, he smelled the fresh breath again.However, after smelling it for a long time, he still put down the water glass, not willing to take a sip.Although I am hungry and thirsty, my body can still hold on, so let's save all the water for my sick brother. When Paul Miller awoke, he saw his brother playing with the bugs. "What are you doing?" Paul Miller opened his eyes, feeling that his eyelids were not as heavy as yesterday. "Make breakfast." Daniel Miller smiled at his brother and continued to work.He held a beetle with his left hand, carefully tore off the three pairs of small legs and the armored shell of the beetle grub with his right hand, and then put the white and tender beetle meat in a bowl. Paul Miller leaned over and took a look, and immediately retched.It turned out that there was already half a bowl of beetle meat in the bowl, and some beetles on the upper layer were still writhing reflexively because they had just been skinned, like a group of maggots gathered together. Seeing his brother's appearance, Daniel Miller smiled and said, "If you can't eat, drink some water." "Water?" Paul Miller thought he heard it wrong, but following his brother's gesture, there were indeed two glasses of water beside the bed! "I drank it all, those are left for you, drink it quickly." Daniel Miller didn't dare to look any more, for fear that his thirst would increase again. Hearing what his younger brother said, Paul Miller just picked up the water glass and drank it down in one gulp, but when he picked up the second glass of water, he hesitated for a moment and put it down. "Let's save that little water. By the way, where did the water come from?" Daniel Miller smiled. "It's very simple, as long as the branches with dense leaves are wrapped in plastic sheets, you can get water." Looking at his brother's puzzled expression, Daniel Miller explained: "Under the effect of transpiration, when the water vapor produced by the leaves rises with When the plastic film comes into contact, it will condense into water droplets. Using a wooden stick to support the plastic bag can prevent the branches and leaves from touching the bag, so that the water droplets will flow along the plastic film to the bottom, which is how the water comes." As he said that, Daniel Miller thought of the few bunches of branches without dew that he accidentally found, and couldn't help worrying.Those branches were broken off, and the leaves were still dry without a drop of dew. It was obvious that someone was also getting water in his own way, but who was this person?Thinking of the faint breathing sound he heard last night, Daniel Miller was more sure, but also more confused. While he was pondering, he suddenly heard a retching sound. He hurriedly looked at his brother, only to see Paul Miller staring at the bowl on the table in horror, unable to speak. Daniel Miller smiled, pointed to the beetle in the bowl and said, "This thing is very nutritious and contains a lot of protein. You have just recovered from your fever and need to replenish your energy. Brother, I know you look disgusted at this thing, so how about it?" Just close your eyes and eat." Glancing at the still wriggling beetle, Paul Miller felt nauseous again, almost vomiting out the water he drank just now.However, he knew that what his younger brother said was true, not to mention that there was no water or food, so it was not the time to pick and choose.So he gritted his teeth, grabbed a white and tender beetle and stuffed it into his mouth. "You'll know after a few bites, it's delicious." Daniel Miller also grabbed a beetle and threw it into his mouth, chewing with relish while telling his brother. "When I was exploring, this thing was my essential ration!" When he said that, the greasy beetle juice also came out while chewing, which relieved his thirst a lot. It’s strange to say, I don’t know whether it’s because of hunger, or whether the beetle is really delicious. After taking a few bites, Paul Miller really tasted the fragrance, and he didn’t have to be urged by his brother, so he grabbed the second beetle and started to eat again. Chew up.Within a few minutes, half a bowl of beetles was devoured by the two brothers. Seeing that his brother's face was gradually turning red, Daniel Miller was more than half relieved, but he still took the chamomile he collected yesterday. "Go ahead and chew this leaf, and you should be able to walk in the ground at night." Seeing his younger brother's housekeeper-like appearance, Paul Miller couldn't help laughing. While chewing the herbs, he said, "I'm fine now, and my brain is very clear. Let's figure out what to do next." Daniel Miller has also been worried about this matter: "In your opinion, how long will Buzo's food and water deprivation operation last? Although we can get some water and food, it's just to maintain life. If we don't have physical strength Prison escape is impossible. The most important thing is that our preparations for the escape have not been carried out, if the Wang Hai incident does not subside, we will always be watched by Bu Zuo, and there is no way to make preparations." After thinking for a long time, Paul Miller said: "It depends on how cruel Buzuo is. If he wants to find out the murderer, then the water and food deprivation will definitely last for a while." "Without food, a person can live for three weeks, but if there is no water, it can last for about three or four days at most. There are not only two people in the prison, but more than two hundred prisoners. Bu Zuo dared to take so many lives Don't you care about it?" Daniel Miller looked at his brother and threw out an idea: "If it doesn't work, let's hand over the murderer and let him make up a reason for conflict with Wang Hai, which can be regarded as calming down gone." This idea has been lingering in Daniel Miller's mind for a long time, and he really wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the potential spies, but Paul Miller shook his head immediately. "No, although the reason can be made up, but Buzuo is not ordinary cunning, if he finds the flaw, it will be a complete loss, we can't take the risk." As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of shouting and cursing outside. "What the hell are you going to hold, I can't even move!" "I know it's a meeting, it's useless at all, we'll only go if you get some water!" "There is still food, what are we going to do if we can't get these?!" "Aren't you Boss Ye very capable? Why can't you get anything now? Give us back the money!" ... Daniel Miller heard the sound and went out, but before he reached the door, the shouting and cursing had turned into the sound of beating and screaming.He was startled, it was broken, and the two sides must have fought. Sure enough, as soon as Daniel Miller emerged, a plank whizzed past his head.He hurried to the back of the door, and when he took a closer look, he was even more stunned by the scene in front of him-the two sides who were not speculating were each copying wooden planks and bamboo strips, swarming and tearing together.Although everyone was hungry, thirsty and exhausted, this sudden incident stimulated all the remaining hormones in the prisoners.Everyone's eyes were on fire, and everyone's muscles were shaking violently.Screams, roars, cursing and blood spattered together, turning Sauron Prison into a big Colosseum. Just as Daniel Miller was staring intently at the chaotic scene in front of him, his body was suddenly bumped from behind. When he looked back, he saw Li Jiahua standing behind him, holding a slender Bamboo strips. "Hold it quickly, and defend yourself if necessary!" Li Jiahua quickly hid in the corner after playing the bamboo stick in Daniel Miller's hands. The bamboo sticks were still stained with feces. I really don't know how this guy thought of looking for such a weapon.Daniel Miller couldn't help laughing, but at this moment, as if stimulated by the pungent ammonia smell, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind.Although it was hot and unbearable, he couldn't help shivering. For a moment, he felt that this idea was too cruel, and he was a little hesitant.But when a figure appeared in his sight, Daniel Miller made up his mind-just do it, this is the best chance! After thinking about it, Daniel Miller grabbed the dirty and smelly bamboo stick and rushed into the fighting crowd.However, unlike others, Daniel Miller didn't hit anyone he saw, but went straight to the target that had already been locked... Although the warden Buzuo stayed out of the matter, his excitement was no less than that of these prisoners.Through the large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows in the office, he watched the fight in Sauron Prison with great interest. But the prison guard's report disturbed his interest. "Prisoner, Prison Doctor Liu wants to see you." Buzuo frowned and nodded slowly.It's not that he doesn't like Liu Tiantian, on the contrary, every time he sees this handsome female prison doctor, a kind of youth and vitality sprouts in his body, which can also be said to be a long-lost desire, even when the lights in Liu Tiantian's office go out , he often fantasizes about how beautiful prison doctors look when they sleep.But now he didn't want to see Liu Tiantian, because this female prison doctor must have come for these prisoners, and Liu Tiantian had been arguing with him since yesterday.If it were someone else, Bu Zuo would have slapped him long ago, but for Liu Tiantian, he had to hold back his temper.According to his philosophy of life, whether it is hypocrisy or cunning, in short, a mask must be worn in front of the woman he likes. Soon, Liu Tiantian walked in with a sullen look on his face. "Are you here for those prisoners?" Buzuo asked with a smile. "Of course!" Liu Tiantian stared into Buzuo's eyes. "How many people do they have to die before you are willing?!" "Where did this come from? I didn't give them fresh water and food to investigate the murder of Wang Hai, and it was also a punishment for them. As long as the murderer is found out, I will naturally restore the supply." Bu Zuo looked at Liu Tiantian with a smile , but the seemingly kind eyes have converged on Liu Tiantian's looming cleavage. "But did you see that many of them are almost exhausted. The climate on the island is inherently hot, and the water demand is even greater. If you don't restore the water supply, some of them may die tomorrow. And——" Liu Tian Tian pointed out the window. "Didn't you see that they have caused conflicts due to restlessness? I saw that more than a dozen prisoners have been injured and they are in urgent need of medical treatment." "You are very conscientious." Buzuo praised, and then changed the subject. "But I also have to abide by my duty, which is to guard these prisoners and prevent escape from happening! If you let the person who planned to escape go free because of mercilessness, neither you nor I can afford the responsibility. As for the health and life of the prisoner, I will not ignore it, I will restore fresh water and food when necessary. As for the treatment, let me forget it, they are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and a little trauma is nothing." "Then when is the 'when necessary' you mentioned?" Liu Tiantian asked persistently. A haze appeared on Buzuo's face, but it was fleeting, and immediately he put on a kind expression. "Since prison doctor Liu has spoken, how can I not take it seriously? In this way, for your sake, I will restore their fresh water and food supply the day after tomorrow!" "Really?" Liu Tiantian was overjoyed, but he couldn't believe it. Seeing Liu Tiantian's thoughts, Bu Zuo laughed and called the adjutant in. "You go and deploy it, and resume the supply of food for the prisoners the day after tomorrow." Only then did Liu Tiantian feel relieved, and a smile appeared on his face. After Liu Tiantian left, the adjutant walked up to Buzuo and asked suspiciously: "Director, will the prisoners' food supply be resumed in Houtian?" "Of course, when was my order changed?" "But, but can we find out the murderer in these two days?" the adjutant reminded Buzuo. Buzuo laughed and said, "Are these prisoners going to die of starvation or thirst if they don't find out? This is more than two hundred lives." The adjutant was confused, and thought to himself: Why did the warden's attitude take a 180-degree turn, so he cared about the prisoners? Buzuo glanced at the adjutant, and patiently explained like a teacher teaching a student: "Everything must be prepared before doing something, such as cutting off water and food for prisoners. It is good to find out the murderer through this. Those prisoners will be punished if they can’t be found out.” He said, pointing out the window. "See, those prisoners have already started fighting with each other, that's what I want to see the most - from then on, not only do they lose trust with each other, but they will also be wary of each other, no matter who makes trouble, they will be noticed by others到。你说，在这种人人自危的情况下越狱分子还能有机会逃跑吗？” 这一席话说的副官心服口服，啧啧称叹，不过他又想到一件事情，小声汇报道：“刚才叶万诚找到警卫，想求您允许给索林治伤。” “索林？” “就是叶万诚的那个同性恋朋友，刚才在殴斗中受伤了。” 布佐鄙夷地笑了一下。“没看出来叶万诚还是个挺重感情的人呢，不过我看他还没到急不可耐的时候。” “这话怎么讲？”副官听出布佐的话里有话，但却没明白什么含义。 “他要是真着急的话，倾家荡产都舍得。他现在只说点哀求的话就想占这么大的便宜，脑袋真是浑到家了。” “我明白了，我这就去点拨点拨他。”副官刚要走，却被布佐叫住了。 “做事情不要这么冲动！他叶万诚不着急，你招的哪门子急？再拖他一天，让那个索林的伤势再重一些，叶万诚就更听话了。别忘了，明天再给他一个甜枣——如果付出这个数的话……”布佐伸出一个巴掌冲副官晃了晃。“那么我就再卖给他一个人情——恢复犯人的饮食。” 副官一愣，随即便明白了。既然已经决定恢复犯人的饮食，那么不如借此大捞叶万诚一笔。这个家伙为了重新树立在犯人中的威信，一定舍得掏这笔银子的。 看着副官带着崇拜的目光离去，布佐得意地笑了。王海这件事情虽然让他头疼不已，但也让他收获颇丰——通过断水断粮，不但惩罚了索伦监狱里的犯人、造成了他们之间的冲突，还借机敲了叶万诚一大笔竹杠。除此以外，还有一件得利的事情他没有告诉副官，那就是顺水推舟地卖了柳天天一个人情。 布佐一边嘿嘿地笑着一边摊开一张报告单，准备给总部递交报告。至于要写的内容，他已经烂熟于心，此时提起笔龙飞凤舞地写了起来：经过严密侦查，发现了犯人王海准备实施越狱的企图，并查获了其精心准备的越狱图。犯人王海畏罪自杀。 布佐应该陶醉，他的这些阴谋确实也没人能猜到。不论是丹尼尔·米勒还是保罗·米勒，他们的大脑也似乎被监狱里混乱的局面搅乱了。 尤其是保罗·米勒，虽然病已经好了一大半，但面容却比生病的时候更加憔悴。 那场殴斗虽然已经结束，但是哀号声仍然不绝于耳。远远望去，和硝烟散尽后的战场没什么区别。将近一个小时的战斗让十几个囚犯又变成了伤员。断腿断胳膊的、脑袋被打破的、肚子上挨刀的……反正不管伤在哪里，嘴里都发着同样的呻吟声。忽大忽小的哀号声汇聚起来，象哀乐一样在监狱上空久久盘桓着。 但这还不是保罗·米勒犯愁的最大原因，最让他不安的是弟弟丹尼尔·米勒。 此时，他这个可爱的弟弟正在外面忙碌着——用平直一些的竹板或木条将伤员骨折的部位固定住，再用悬崖处弄来的藤条捆扎起来。刚才，他还采集来一大堆谁也叫不上名字的植物，让伤员咀嚼那些枝叶。 保罗·米勒越看越觉得担惊受怕，等丹尼尔·米勒又忙完了一个伤员，他急忙把弟弟叫到了身边劝阻道：“你别再给他们处理伤口了，这样太显眼，搞不好就会被布佐注意到。” “我明白，但他们伤势那么重，能见死不救吗？再者说，我这么做是有目的的。”丹尼尔·米勒小声道。 “有目的的？但现在是什么情况？我们都自身难保，你再露锋芒，那不是往火坑里跳吗？”保罗·米勒一改往日的谦和，和弟弟争执起来。 丹尼尔·米勒也不退让：“我明白我们的处境，也知道不应该引人注意，所以我昨天晚上偷偷摸摸地造水，即便他们那么渴我也没分给他们。但是现在的情况不同，如果不救治他们，很可能今天就有人死掉。明明能够救他们，却为了自己的安全而熟视无睹，打死我也做不来这种事情！” 说完，丹尼尔·米勒觉得自己的语气也未免太激烈了一些，他冲哥哥笑了笑，开解道：“哥，其实你不用这么紧张，就算是布佐注意到又怎么样？现在的社会谁都会点急救求生的本事，难道非得有专业知识的人才会给伤员包扎？更何况，为了我们的计划，我也必须要这么做！” 保罗·米勒叹了口气，虽然他不清楚弟弟的计划是什么，但却知道拗不过丹尼尔·米勒。保罗·米勒只好悻悻地走回了屋里，不过转身之前撇下一句话：“别飞得太高，记着'枪打出头鸟'这几个字就好。” 这道理丹尼尔·米勒自然明白，但眼下他也顾不了许多了。远远地，他看见一个犯人正饥渴难耐地喝着自己的尿液，他疾步跑了过去。 “别喝尿！”他拦阻着那个犯人。 “干嘛？没水喝，再不让我喝尿等着渴死啊！？” “喝尿死得更快——”还没等丹尼尔·米勒说完，那犯人已经一仰脖没，把自己的尿咽了下去，顺便狠狠地瞪了丹尼尔·米勒一眼。 “唉……”丹尼尔·米勒叹了一口气，正要往回走，忽然身后有人把他叫住了。 “小伙子叹什么气呢？” 丹尼尔·米勒回头一看，正是马约翰。 丹尼尔·米勒指了指刚才喝尿的那个犯人，摇头道：“在缺水的时候不能喝尿液！尿虽然可以暂时止渴，但是实际上会造成更多的水分流失，导致脱水。” “哦？看来这方面我是孤陋寡闻了，原来一直以为缺水的时候可以喝尿呢。”马约翰很感兴趣。 丹尼尔·米勒笑着解释道：“尿里面有很多代谢产物，是非常浓的。缺水的时候尿比重增高，更是如此。肾脏就需要更多的水分去稀释、排出。本来就缺水，额外还要让肾脏多供应水分，这就成了恶性循环了。很容易导致急性肾功能坏死，说不好听的——喝尿死得更快。所以，在各国的特种兵训练教程里都明令禁止在缺水的状态下喝尿。” 马约翰瞧了一眼丹尼尔·米勒，若有所思地点了点头。他刚要再问一些，却见远处一个人正向这边走来，马约翰皱了一下眉，对丹尼尔·米勒说：“咱们改天再聊，我先走了。我的耳朵不喜欢那个家伙。” 顺着马约翰的目光看去，丹尼尔·米勒也皱起了眉头。和马约翰一样，他也难以忍受那人的声音，于是转身向回走去。 但正所谓不是冤家不聚头，丹尼尔·米勒回到监舍，屁股还没坐稳就听见了昆金的声音。“丹尼尔·米勒兄弟在吗？” 保罗·米勒看了丹尼尔·米勒一眼，心里大是意外。从进了监狱以来，丹尼尔·米勒和昆金总共也没说过几句话，更谈不上什么交情，这个破锣嗓子今天怎么喊起丹尼尔·米勒的名字来了？而且还加上了“兄弟”两字？ 丹尼尔·米勒却似乎早就等着昆金一样，刚听到他的声音响起便站起身来，走到门口的时候正遇上昆金那张贼眉鼠眼的脸。除了一脸的憔悴之外，左边颧骨处还高高地肿了起来，看来在刚才的殴斗中也被揍了几拳。 “找我？”丹尼尔·米勒问道。 昆金干笑两声。“叶老板有请。” “什么事？”丹尼尔·米勒依旧不动声色地问。 “索林受伤了，叶老板让你过去给他治伤。” “索林？”丹尼尔·米勒纳闷地念叨着，装作想不起这人是谁。 “就是叶老板的——”昆金撇着嘴，左手在右手上轻柔地摸了一下，用这个动作来形容他要说的人。“叶老板的那个小朋友。” “我也不是医生，怎么想到找我了？”丹尼尔·米勒一幅漠然的样子。 昆金嘿嘿笑道：“你虽然不是医生，但我看你胜似医生，我看你刚才给那些犯人看得不错呢。” “哈哈，那只不过是平时看书多，学会了几招急救知识而已。”丹尼尔·米勒不以为然地笑笑，点头应允：“那麻烦你回去通报一声，我采几样草药，马上就过去。” 昆金走了以后，丹尼尔·米勒回头向保罗·米勒看去，发现哥哥的眼中露出和自己一样兴奋的色彩。 “叶万诚这个事情一定要帮，而且要做好。现在两方正是水火不容，要是这种状态持续下去对谁都不利，给索林治伤正是缓和矛盾最好的办法。而且，整个监狱里也就叶万诚能和布佐说上话，你借这个机会探听一下叶万诚的口风，或许能知道断水断粮这件事情的内幕消息呢。” 丹尼尔·米勒一直微笑听着，保罗·米勒倒被弟弟笑得不知所以然了。 “你坏笑什么？” “我确定你的病全好了。” "How do you say that?" “你这思路多缜密啊，连我都没想到这一层呢。”说完，丹尼尔·米勒哈哈笑着走了出去。 看着弟弟的背影，保罗·米勒笑骂：“你那脑子没想到这层？鬼才信！” 丹尼尔·米勒口中虽是笑着，但脚下却步履匆匆，急忙赶到悬崖那里采摘了一些沼泽疗伤草，这之后马不停蹄地直奔叶万诚的“别墅”而去。 这还是他入狱以来第一次来到这里，丹尼尔·米勒饶有兴趣打量着周围的景物。叶万诚这里果然和他们的贫民窟是天壤之别，一个个监舍不但结识坚固还很规整。特别是正中的一座监舍，不但比其它的大，而且还有一个用栅栏围成的庭院，里面虽然没有什么花花草草，但俨然有种家的感觉。 不用打听，丹尼尔·米勒也知道这就是叶万诚和索林的“家”，因为庭院里聚集着一大群犯人。 丹尼尔·米勒一眼就看到了昆金，他走过去招呼着：“索林怎么样了？” “你可算来了，叶老板刚才还为索林的伤大发雷霆呢。”一边说，昆金一边拉着丹尼尔·米勒走进庭院。 叶万诚正坐在一个木凳子上，时而翻着那双牛眼向手下瞪来瞪去，时而又关切地看着躺在一张草席上的索林。就像是川剧的绝活儿“变脸”一样，愤怒、懊恼、关切、痛苦……诸多表情在叶万诚脸上变化着，而看到了丹尼尔·米勒，叶万诚腾地从凳子上跳起来，口中嚷道：“你就是会治伤的丹尼尔·米勒吧，快点给索林看看！” 丹尼尔·米勒走到索林面前，只见这个眉清目秀的男宠已经变了模样：因为疼痛，他紧紧咬着嘴唇，即便如此脸也已经扭曲得变了形。而原本就很白皙的脸蛋现在则更加惨白，看不出一点血色。视线再往下走，当看到索林的伤口时，丹尼尔·米勒更是倒吸了一口凉气。 只见在他的右腿上有一个流血的创口，而在创口里还插着竹条，竹条的边缘不是很整齐，看来像是被一个长竹条刺入以后生生掰断以后留在伤口里的。 “不用担心，虽然插得很深，但并没刺破大血管。”丹尼尔·米勒安慰着索林，看着叶万诚紧张的面孔，又补充了一句：“要是扎破了大血管，经过了这几个小时，血早就流干净了，他哪里还有命在？而且，大腿骨看起来也没什么事情，你没看索林还能蜷一下大腿吗？要是骨折的话根本就动弹不了了。” 叶万诚并未释然，愁容满面地说：“你没看那根竹条上还沾满着大便呢吗？！索林的大腿里面肯定还有不少这些杂乱货！怎么样，能救过来吗？”叶万诚此时也没了暴戾凶狠，小心翼翼地问着丹尼尔·米勒，似乎声音大一点就会让索林的疼痛加剧。 丹尼尔·米勒没有应答，而是蹲下身将手搭在索林的额头上。 还好，索林的额头虽然有些热，但还不是很烫，这应该属于受伤后的自然发热，如果是因为感染而发热，那么几个小时下来温度一定很高了。至于呼吸，丹尼尔·米勒仔细看了以后也稍微放下点心，虽然有些急促但还规律，暂时还没有生命大碍。 这时候，丹尼尔·米勒才对叶万诚点了点头。“应该有希望。但是——” “但是什么？”叶万诚急忙追问。 “但是你们都要听我的，我要做什么你们就得配合才行。” “这还用说嘛！”叶万诚一拍胸脯。“你就赶快救人吧！让我们做什么我们就做什么！” “那好。”说了这两个字以后，丹尼尔·米勒站起身布置起来。 “你有匕首吧？”他问叶万诚。 叶万诚二话没说，飞快地跑回屋子里，不大会儿工夫便拿来一把匕首。“我的东西还没被搜走。” 丹尼尔·米勒接过匕首，叫来四个人吩咐道：“我一会儿得把伤口里的竹条取出来，你们四个一定要按住索林的胳膊和腿，要不然他一动的话搞不好就弄破大血管了。” 接着，他又叫来两个人。“你们找一根绳子来，一会儿我让你们绑的时候就用力绑上。” 最后，丹尼尔·米勒把采集到的沼泽疗伤草递给叶万诚。“把这些草药让你的手下嚼烂，然后都集中在碗里面。还有啊，嚼的时候也别闲着，每个人都尽量弄点尿出来。” “尿？要尿干什么？”叶万诚的几个手下被弄得张二和尚摸不清头脑。叶万诚却直点头，这个黑社会老大受过无数次的伤，他知道尿液是无菌的，不会引发感染，而且尿里面的尿酸还有助于伤口的清洗消毒。不过现在顾不上解释，他吼着手下：“少罗嗦，都赶快给我把尿撒在盆里！” 闻听老大发话，几个手下忙不迭地脱下了裤子，看着这一帮人都忙碌起来，丹尼尔·米勒俯下身对索林说：“小兄弟，一会儿我给你治伤的时候会有些疼，但你一定要忍住！要不把这些东西去干净，你的命就保不住，懂吗？！”虽然丹尼尔·米勒不喜欢同性恋者，甚至听到这个词就会倒胃口，但此刻在他的眼中，看到的只是一个痛苦的孩子。 索林感激地看了丹尼尔·米勒一眼，然后用力点了点头：“我能挺住！” 叶万诚也蹲在地上，把一块手巾塞在了索林的嘴里，哽咽道：“疼就咬它，疼过了你就又活蹦乱跳了！” 丹尼尔·米勒看了一眼叶万诚，心中暗道：这家伙对索林倒是真有感情。 准备停当之后，丹尼尔·米勒先让两个犯人用绳子捆扎住索林的大腿根，不大一会儿伤口处因为血管被阻断而停止了流血，看着伤口处已经暴露得比较明显，丹尼尔·米勒冲立在一旁的四个犯人点了一下头。“你们几个压住了啊，我这就要开始拔了！” 随着丹尼尔·米勒的这句话，庭院里顿时寂静下来，四十余双眼睛都紧紧盯着丹尼尔·米勒。 只见他屏气凝神了几秒钟后，将匕首的尖端慢慢插进了创口中！ 鲜血立时又涌了出来，而肌肉也被匕首卷翻出来，索林虽然咬着毛巾，但仍禁不住哆嗦起来。随着匕首慢慢地深入和转动，肌肉撕裂的声音、索林闷哼的声音让众人的心一阵阵悸痛，有的人已经禁不住转过了头。 虽然有四个人按着，但索林脸上的汗珠已经汇成细流顺着脖子淌落，脸上的痛苦自不用说。丹尼尔·米勒看在眼里，加快了速度，转动着匕首在肌肉里寻找着竹条的末端。转动了一阵，丹尼尔·米勒感到匕首的尖端一顿，明白是触到了竹条末端。他调整了一下匕首的角度后深吸一口气，将匕首在伤口里奋力一剜！ 随着索林一声痛苦的喊叫，一截四五厘米长的竹条随着喷涌而出的血液飞了出来。 “把绳子松开！”随着丹尼尔·米勒的命令，两个犯人忙不迭地将捆绑在索林大腿根的绳子松开，而血液喷涌得更加猛烈了。看着叶万诚惶恐的目光，丹尼尔·米勒宽慰道：“他伤口里面都是粪便残渣，血正好能帮着带出来不少。” 说完，丹尼尔·米勒仔细地看了半天伤口，见里面的粪便残渣已经所剩不多，这才让那两个犯人重新将索林的大腿捆绑上。不过叮嘱道：“每隔十分钟就松开一会儿，让血液流通一下。” 这之后，丹尼尔·米勒把装着犯人尿的尿盆拿了过来，对准索林的伤口倒了下去，反复冲洗以后伤口里除了血液已经看不见什么脏东西，丹尼尔·米勒又把犯人们“嚼制”而成的草药倒进索林的伤口里。 干完这些，丹尼尔·米勒才稍微松了一口气，他拍了拍索林的肩膀：“好小子，不错！疼的时候都过去了，放心吧。” 听了丹尼尔·米勒的话，索林和叶万诚都长出一口气，但丹尼尔·米勒的下一句话又让叶万诚迷惑了。 “来，把索林抬到那里去。”丹尼尔·米勒指着监狱广场正中新犯人住的那两间狱舍。 “到那里干什么？那里臭烘烘的，都是苍蝇蚊子……” “要的就是那些苍蝇，它们能让索林的伤口早点愈合。”丹尼尔·米勒说着，张罗着将索林抬了起来。 走进那两间臭气熏天的监舍，丹尼尔·米勒让人将索林抬到床上，并且把伤口暴露出来，冒着黄水的伤口立刻就吸引了几只苍蝇。 叶万诚张开大手正要驱赶，丹尼尔·米勒笑着拦住了他，小声道：“索林的伤口已经感染了，而且肯定还有粪便残渣没清理出去，苍蝇能把这些东西清理干净。” 说完，丹尼尔·米勒趴在伤口旁边，仔细观察着，只见苍蝇越聚越多，几乎将伤口盖住了。叶万诚又是惊喜又是佩服，问道：“那什么时候能清理干净呢？” “这可不是着急的事情，首先苍蝇得在这里产下卵，然后再变成蛆才行。正常的话需要七八个小时，但咱们这里很闷热，估计五六个小时就行了。”看了眼叶万诚惊愕的目光，丹尼尔·米勒笑道：“蛆最喜欢吃腐败发酵的有机物，把它们放在腐败坏死的伤口上，很快就能把这些烂掉的组织清理干净，要不然索林的伤口不知道什么时候才能愈合呢。” 叶万诚这才恍然大悟，他上上下下打量了丹尼尔·米勒好几眼，咧开大嘴笑了。“你真是天上掉下来的大救星，要是没有你，索林就完了。” 丹尼尔·米勒哈哈笑道：“哪有你说的那么神，现在虽然一切顺利，但还不能掉以轻心。就比如这里——”他指了指那些苍蝇。“等苍蝇卵变成蛆以后你要派人盯着，这些家伙把腐烂坏死组织吃完了就会吃新鲜、健康的组织，可不能让它们得寸进尺。” 叶万诚频频点头，吩咐手下时刻照看索林，然后问道：“除了这些，还有什么需要注意的？” 丹尼尔·米勒为难地叹了一口气：“还有两样最重要的东西，只是我弄不来。” “还需要什么东西你就说，没什么是我弄不来的，哪怕从外面花钱运进来！”叶万诚大咧咧地打着包票。 丹尼尔·米勒微微一笑。“水和食物。这两样你能弄来吗？” 叶万诚没词了，他气呼呼地坐在床上，庞大的身躯将床板压得吱吱作响。半晌，咒骂声才从嘴里冒出来：“他妈的，都是杀王海的那个家伙搅的，要不然我们也不至于没有水喝。” 丹尼尔·米勒瞅了一眼叶万诚，缓缓道：“问题不在那个凶手身上。” “那问题出在哪里？” “出在你身上。” “我？怎么出在我身上？”叶万诚瞪着大眼珠子看着丹尼尔·米勒，不明白是什么意思。 “你能查出来这个凶手吗？”丹尼尔·米勒问。 叶万诚摇了摇头。 “你身在监狱，手下那么多人都查不出凶手，布佐就能查出来？”丹尼尔·米勒又问。 叶万诚摇了摇头，然后一拍大腿。“是啊，他也查不出来。可为什么还要下狠心调查呢？” “所以布佐的目的根本就不是调查凶手，而是借这个名义另有所图。” 叶万诚捶了捶脑袋，暗忖这个问题他怎么没想过，但此刻虽然被丹尼尔·米勒提醒了，他仍想不出来答案。而站在一旁的昆金此时则挑着他的三角眼紧紧盯着丹尼尔·米勒，似乎要把目光盯进这个美国人身体里才舒服。 丹尼尔·米勒笑了笑，小声说道：“如果你有布佐这样的生杀大权，却只是每天百无聊赖地看管着这些犯人，你不觉得权力浪费了吗？” 叶万诚瞅了眼丹尼尔·米勒，他越发觉得这个美国人不但疗伤是把好手，脑子也不简单。如果是别人提起这个茬，他肯定不理不睬，可是自从丹尼尔·米勒把索林救了以后，叶万诚对丹尼尔·米勒就有一种油然的好感。而且，明摆着这个美国人话里有话，或许他还能帮自己出个好主意也未可知。 想到这里，叶万诚小声说：“实不相瞒，布佐每次都从我的保护费里分走一半。” 这没出丹尼尔·米勒的意料，他点点头说：“这就对了，布佐是个贪财的人，满脑子就是想用一切机会敛财，如今有王海被杀这件事情，他能不勒索敲诈一笔吗？现在犯人们都又渴又饿，让他们掏多少银子都会愿意。但是，这件事情布佐还不能亲自出面，他还得顾及自己的形象，所以只有你出面办才最合适。可叶老板你没领会布佐的意图，一个劲地开会查凶手，所以我说问题出在你的身上呢。” 这一席话说的叶万诚如醍醐灌顶，瞠目结舌地看了丹尼尔·米勒好几眼才喃喃道：“都说美国人聪明，果然不假，我看你才更适合当监狱长呢！” 丹尼尔·米勒哈哈大笑。“叶老板你就别夸我了，这个道理你其实也明白，只是索林的事情让你失了方寸而已。”说完，他指了指城墙二楼布佐的那扇落地窗。“快去吧，布佐监狱长这个时候可能正抓心挠肝地想你去呢。” 叶万诚连连点头称是，回身叮嘱手下照顾好索林以后，他迈着大步向“城墙”走去。虽然他已经饥渴交加、疲惫不堪，但丹尼尔·米勒的话却让他恢复了气力。 至于丹尼尔·米勒，看了看叶万诚的身影后也迈步向回走去，不过他没急着回去见哥哥，而是向悬崖走去。刚才他还发现了几种草药，丹尼尔·米勒准备采摘一些，虽然他不知道有没有机会用，但如果能用上的话，那就是绝对的意外之喜了。 只不过他不知道，当他走向悬崖的时候，有两个人正目不转睛地盯着他。
