Chapter 42 Chapter 6

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and in the small square inside the iron cage of Building No. 3, the prisoners were letting the wind out.Liu Mingyi sat quietly in a corner of the square by himself, looking preoccupied. Pi Jingshun stepped forward and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Are you all right?" Liu Mingyi turned around and looked at Pi Jingshun: "Master Pi, do you have any cigarettes?" Pi Jingshun was taken aback: "Aren't you a non-smoker?" Liu Mingyi: "I want to smoke one!" Pi Jingshun looked at Liu Mingyi for a long time, then took out a crumpled cigarette case from his pocket, and stuffed it into Liu Mingyi.Liu Mingyi reached out to take it, took one, Pi Jingshun took out a match and lit it for him.Liu Mingyi took a sip and coughed so hard that Pi Jingshun beat his back for him.After a while, Liu Mingyi stopped coughing and raised his head: "Thank you, Master Pi!"

Pi Jingshun smiled, patted Liu Mingyi on the shoulder lightly, turned and left.Liu Mingyi smoked quietly by himself. After an unknown amount of time, a big hand patted Liu Mingyi's shoulder.Liu Mingyi was taken aback for a moment, and when he turned around, Liao San was behind him. Liao San: "Brother, give me a cigarette!" Liu Mingyi looked at Liao San, and handed him the cigarette case. Liao San took out the last cigarette inside, took the cigarette butt from Liu Mingyi's hand, and lit it.Liao San handed back the cigarette butt to Liu Mingyi: "Thank you, brother!"

Liu Mingyi took the cigarette butt: "You're welcome!" Liao San sat down beside Liu Mingyi, took a deep breath, and asked casually, "Brother, your accent doesn't look like a local!" Liu Mingyi: "Oh, I'm from Shandong." Liao San nodded: "Oh, Shandong? What a great place! By the way, coming to Chongqing from Shandong...then you have to take a boat?" Liu Mingyi: "Ah, it's by boat." Liao San took a puff of cigarette: "Brother, how long has it been since you came to Baishan Pavilion?" Liu Mingyi: "It hasn't been long, it's been more than a month!"

Liao San looked at Liu Mingyi: "Brother doesn't look like a bad guy or a communist bandit, so why are you locked up here?" Liu Mingyi did not answer. Liao San pretended to sigh, and said: "Alas, in this world, if people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth if they drink cold water, and they will hit their heels when they fart! Brother, do you know how I got in here? ?” Liu Mingyi raised his head and looked at Liao San. Liao San: "It's early in the morning. I went to Yihonglou and was about to have a date with me. Before I took off my trousers, I suddenly rushed into two poles, and the gun hit my head in one go! Guess they are the same as What do I want?" At this point, Liao San stopped talking and stared at Liu Mingyi.

Liao San: "A bottle, a perfume bottle! There's nothing I can do about it. The gun is on it. Take them back to the den to get it! I thought about it on the way, these two people probably came from bad people, and they might not be able to get the things. Now, they killed me again, who am I to reason with! What to do? Run! Guess what happened? After this run, I was just out of the tiger’s den and into the wolf’s den, and bumped into a group of real rods head-on. Brother, I'm here!" After Liao San finished speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Liu Mingyi with his eyes.Liu Mingyi remained silent.

Liao San continued: "Brother, the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes! Is a broken bottle worth such a big commotion? Brother Liu, tell me what's going on here?" Liao San said Here, his gaze fixed on Liu Mingyi like a knife.Liu Mingyi didn't answer anything, just looked at Liao San quietly. Liao San suddenly said in a deep voice: "Brother, if I remember correctly, that bottle is yours, right?" Hearing Liao San's clear words, Liu Mingyi was stunned. The two just stared at each other for a long time, Liao San nodded, took a final drag on the cigarette, threw it on the ground and stamped it out with his foot, reached out and patted Liu Mingyi on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, thank you for the cigarette." !” Liao San finished speaking, got up and left.

Liu Mingyi stared at Liao San's back for a long time. Ten minutes later, thick curtains were drawn on the windows of Zhou Ba’s office in Building No. 3, and the room was extremely dark.Zhou Ba was sitting on the sofa with a sullen face, carefully cleaning his rifle, when there was a knock on the door. Zhou Ba: "Come in!" The door opened, and a guard walked into the room: "Captain Zhou!" Zhou Ba continued to wipe the gun in his hand without even raising his head. Guard: "A prisoner wants to see you, saying that he has important information to report to you!"

The corner of Zhou Ba's mouth twitched contemptuously: "Is there any important information? You just ask and it's over!" Guard: "The boy said that he can only tell you alone. He also said that this information is related to another prisoner hiding in our No. 3 building!" Zhou Ba put down the gun and raised his head: "Oh? Who is the prisoner you are talking about?" Guard: "It's the Liao San that Captain Chen brought back this morning!" Zhou Ba pondered for a moment, and muttered to himself: "Liao...San? Okay, you bring him to see me right away!"

Guard: "Yes!" Not long after, Liao San was brought in.Zhou Ba looked him up and down, Liao San looked very calm. Zhou Ba: "Tell me, what's the matter?" Liao San: "I have an important piece of information to report to Captain Zhou!" Zhou Ba: "Oh? What's the matter?" Liao San: "However, before I report to you, I hope Captain Zhou can promise me one condition!" Zhou Ba: "What conditions?" Liao San: "Let me leave the Baishan Pavilion!" Zhou Ba looked at Liao San, and the two looked at each other.After a long time, Zhou Ba laughed and shouted loudly, "Come here!"

Two guards outside the door responded, "Captain Zhou!" Zhou Ba: "Drag him out and give him thirty lashes!" Guard: "Yes!" Two guards stepped forward to pull Liao San and walked out. Liao San showed no fear, and suddenly laughed, everyone was stunned. Liao San stopped laughing, and said in a deep voice: "Captain Zhou, if I guessed correctly, there is an extremely important person hidden in your No. 3 building that you don't know yet?" Zhou Ba was stunned: "What did you say?" Liao San smiled: "I think, Chief Zhou has heard what I said!"

Zhou Ba pondered for a moment, then waved to the two guards: "Go out first!" Guard: "Yes!" After the two guards left, Zhou Ba looked at Liao San with gloomy eyes: "Tell me, what do you know?" Liao San: "Captain Zhou, what I know I can't tell you yet, but this important person must be very useful to you!" Zhou Ba looked at Liao San: "What conditions do you have?" Liao San: "Let me leave the Baishan Pavilion!" Zhou Ba stared at Liao San: "That depends on whether your weight is heavy enough!" Liao San: "Okay! I will prove it to you!" After Liao San finished speaking, he turned around with a smile and left the room.Zhou Ba stared at the door, frowning.
