The daily life of American TV agents

Chapter 21 The Hitchhiking Freak
It was separated from the high-end prison area where Ron was, and the ordinary dormitory area where the violent criminals were located. The old and dilapidated old prison single room had a sign on the door that the prisoner's name was Andy Dufresne.

But the prison is empty, only the outdated female star posters that were popular in the 90s are left on the wall, smiling at someone, which seems to have a particularly ironic feeling.

And after the beauty poster, someone dug out a big hole at some point, piercing through a fifteen-foot-thick concrete wall. In the hole, a figure wrapped in a plastic bag was crawling outwards. Inmates in Jail: Andy Dufresne.

He knew that the other side of this big hole would lead to a free world.

The outside world was followed by a thunderstorm, and the heavy rain came suddenly. The sound of the rain directly covered the sound of him crawling in the hole. Andy finally crawled out of the big hole. The hole was facing the drainage pipe of another prison building. You can climb down the water pipe little by little.

But after reaching the ground, outside the gap between the two prison buildings, there are no buildings to cover, only a flat piece of land, surrounded by high walls, and the only exit is next to a 24-hour watchtower.

It was impossible for him to escape from that place, but fortunately, Andy had planned everything before he escaped from the prison, and he didn't even think about going out through the gate. He picked up a big stone and smashed it down when there was a flash of white light in the sky and before the thunder sounded.

"Boom!"

In the sound of persistent knocking, the dilapidated drainage pipe, which was originally not very strong, was finally smashed open by the stone, creating a small hole that could allow one person to pass through.

But the stench that contained the excrement of everyone in the prison also came from the small hole, and Andy was caught off guard and almost fainted directly.

But after hesitating for a moment, the longing for freedom finally defeated the fear of the smell. Andy gritted his teeth, reconfirmed that the plastic bag that wrapped the clean clothes was completely sealed, and carefully carried it in front of him and slipped in.

Andy crawled 500 meters in the direction of freedom in the unbearable sewer for ordinary people. In a river of freedom.

While wading through the river with difficulty, he took off his stinky prison uniform and threw it into the river. He faced the rain with open arms, screamed to the sky, and uttered a cry of freedom that had been suppressed for more than 20 years: "Ah..."

In the high-end prison, Ron finally reached a deal with Mr. Channing and called the prison guards back again. After the two said a simple farewell, Ron declined the warden's invitation to have a dinner with him, and drove back to Los Angeles alone. Go back and fight Caroline or Max again.

At this time, it was still pouring rain, and the rain fell even faster than the windshield wipers wiped the window. Ron's speed was much slower than when he came: "Damn the weather, it was still sunny when we came, I should have known this kind of weather You should stay at home and come back tomorrow, ghosts will come out in this hellish weather!"

Ron had just finished complaining when he saw a man laughing like a ghost standing under the bus stop in front of him, looking like he was crazy.

"My God, did I open my mouth today? Really?" Here is the wilderness, no villages, no shops, Ron tentatively honked the horn twice, the man who laughed He quickly moved away with a look of horror on his face.

Looking at the clothes, he should be a decent middle-aged man, but I don’t know why he is in this place, walking alone, and the enthusiasm for traveling was cultivated by Mary, but Ron put down the car window generously: “Hey, friend, why are you alone here? In the rain? Want a ride?"

"Of course, thank you, friend." Andy opened the car door from the other side and got into the car with a shocked expression. Got wet from the rain.

"I'm going back to Los Angeles, where are you going?" Ron asked. Only at this time did he have a chance to take a good look at his hitchhiker.

As I said just now, this is a middle-aged man with gray temples and a little mulberry on his face. The materials of the clothes are very elegant. Judging from the label, it should be a handmade suit made by the same tailor shop as himself, but the length of the cuffs It is obviously shorter than the arm, as if wearing someone else's clothes, which is unreasonable.

That shop, as far as Ron knew, only accepted tailor-made clothes, never selling one-size-fits-all clothes.

In addition, his face gave Ron an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it somewhere but was not so familiar, all of which aroused Ron's curiosity as an agent.

"It happened to be on the way with you, thank you so much." Andy quickly pretended to be pleasantly surprised.

"Really? That's such a coincidence. You don't look like someone who can't afford a car. Why are you driving alone in the rain?" Ron asked casually.

"Ah~" Andy sighed softly, quickly thinking about the countermeasures in his mind, and a new story quickly took shape in his mind.

"You know, there is a prison not far from here. I was here today with my wife to visit my younger brother who was imprisoned for killing someone with a gun, but on the way back, we had a big fight with her. That woman My cousin actually threw me on the road and drove away alone.

So, I can only try to walk back slowly in the rain, fortunately there is you, friend, what's your name? "

"Me? My name is Ron Lee Cooper, and I'm an IRS agent." Ron sniffed his nose lightly: "Hey, why do you smell like a sewer? Could it be that female watch too?" Did you do it?"

Andy still shrugged calmly: "That's right, when she was driving, I didn't have any precautions, and was taken directly into the ditch by the car, which seemed to be connected to the sewer of the prison, so, you understand."

Andy's answer was still flawless, but Ron's suspicion became more and more intense. He swore that he had definitely seen the middle-aged man next to him before, and not the kind he had met face to face.

It can't be on TV, can it?Could it be some little star?Ron thought nonsensically, but he immediately got excited, turned his head and took a deep look at Andy, and finally confirmed that he had really seen this person on TV!

But it's not some celebrity entertainment news, but a movie in the previous life, and the TV news in this life: the murder of the banker Andy Dufresne's wife.

Shawshank Prison, a thunderstorm, a middle-aged man who smells like sewers but is well-dressed, Ron smacked his forehead, I should have thought, he is Andy from Shawshank Redemption!
Andy was terrified by Ron's eyes, and he had the urge to open the car door and get out of the car. In fact, when Ron just said that his occupation was an agent, he already had the desire to run away. Impulsive, but repressed.

It's impossible for this person to come to me specifically, right?The shift time of the prison guards was obviously at seven o'clock in the morning of the next day, so there was no reason for him to be discovered so soon.

"Is that Ron? My name is Andy, nice to meet you," Andy's heart seemed to be jumping into his throat, but he still tried his best to look normal: "If it's troublesome, you put me in the next one." How's the hotel in town? Maybe it's not a good idea to go home now and continue to fight with the cousin."

"I haven't been married yet. I don't know much about marriage, but my mother taught me since I was a child. There is nothing between family members that cannot be resolved through sincere communication. Maybe you need to have a good chat. Yes ?

Where is your home?I can drive you straight home. "

There was a playful smile on the corner of Ron's mouth, pretending to me?I'll see how long you can pretend to be with me~ I don't believe you can really give me an address?

"No, no, I'd better spend the night outside. My family's situation is more complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words." Andy is a showman, and he vividly portrays a middle-aged frustrated man who is coldly and violently abused by his wife. .

This made Ron sigh sincerely: "To be honest, Oscar really owes you a statuette, do you know that? My brother Forrest Gump's acting skills are far worse than yours."

"Oscar?" Andy's heart moved, did he regard me as some star?I mean, his friend is also an actor, and Andy decided to use his tricks to keep acting with Ron, and by the way, get some more words from Ron's mouth to enrich his character design.

"Since you have seen it all, then I will not hide it from you. Yes, I am that Andy, but I haven't thought about the divorce yet, and I don't want to spread any scandals for the time being, so I hope you can understand what happened today. Keep it a secret for me.

My acting skills have yet to be honed, and the Oscars may be a little early, but that is indeed my lifelong goal, which movie did you start to like me? "

Andy's acting skills were impeccable, and he immediately completed the switch from a frustrated middle-aged man to a celebrity who didn't want to be exposed about his private life. If he wasn't driving, Ron would have wanted to applaud him.

Ron smiled slightly: "Of course it's your "Shawshank Redemption"."

Hearing the name Shawshank, Andy's heart trembled violently, but Ron didn't intend to let him go, and continued.

"Do you remember that movie? It's about a banker who was raped by his wife and was sentenced to life imprisonment for killing his wife with a gun. Then he won the trust of everyone in the prison with his superb financial technology, and finally The story of finding a chance to break out."

PS: I ate something bad, I sat on the toilet all afternoon today, let me be lazy again today, but I really thought about this episode for a long time, I hope you like it and vote for it, thank you.
