Human Shackles

In less than ten seconds, Luo Kai has resolved everything, and then he looked at the fierce jailer outside the iron gate hopingly. Sometimes the jailer would be kind and give an extra bowl of gruel , But today the jailer is obviously not in a good mood, and spit out a thick sputum at him, foul-mouthed and left with a rice bucket.

Luo Kai expressionlessly wiped the thick phlegm on his forehead, sat back again, closed his eyes Shen Shen, and worked hard to bring himself back to his sleep, not only the life in the dream is too good , But every time he finishes dreaming, he will feel that his groggy head has become clearer, and his resistance to hunger has also strengthened a lot.

“zhi zhi.”

Just when he seemed to be asleep, there was a weak rat cry beside him, Luo Kai not at all opened his eyes, He had already blocked the rat hole to death, and the bars of the cell were nearly two meters high, and the smooth granite wall was impossible for mice to climb up.

This big mouse has been here for three days, and slowly it will become as weak as him, and finally it will become the delicacy in his stomach. In a trance, Luo Kai returns to his dream. Mother is preparing to do His favorite white-cut chicken, but the old-fashioned peasant stove has never been able to make a fire, so he hurried around in front of the pot…

“hong long long!” The thunderous sound of ears As soon as the cold wind blew in cold rain from the iron window, Luo Kai woke up in a shivered, hurriedly stood up, put his mouth high with his feet to the window, and soon accumulated a big mouthful of water. After the cold rain entered his stomach, it turned into a warm current to nourish his body.

He greedily drank the rain until his stomach couldn’t hold it completely. This kind of heavy rain was so rare that he had only encountered it three times during the nearly one year he was locked in.

After drinking, Luo Kai satisfactorily changed a position where the rain could not be wiped and prepared to go to sleep. At this time, the mouse poked out his head and cautiously walked to the rain-drenched place. Licking the wet ground lightly.

When I saw Luo Kai looking at it, the mouse not at all escaped as before, but stood coldly on the spot and saw it through the dim light from the iron window Those little green bean-like eyes carried a trace of fear and pleading.

It’s hard to imagine that the mouse’s eyes could express emotions. Luo Kai suddenly had an inexplicable touch in his heart, struggling to get up and reopen the mouse hole that he had sealed with rocks. , And then slowly backed away.

The mouse rushed into the mouse hole hurriedly. After a while, he stuck his head out, moved towards Luo Kai zhi zhi and called twice before disappeared.

Luo Kai smiled bitterly to himself. He didn’t know how long he could live, but he still had leisure and kindness. He stepped forward to cover the mouse hole, then went back to the corner and curled up and re-entered Dreamland.

The days of death and despair seem to have no end. After more than a dozen days and nights, Luo Kai feels that he is getting weaker and weaker, even becoming difficult to urinate, through the reflection of the yellow urine in the urine bucket. In front of him was a thin and corpse silhouette. Long periods of inactivity had already caused his muscles to atrophy, and severe malnutrition had also caused some of his organs to fail. He didn’t have many days!

In the middle of the night, Luo Kai woke up on time. Although his sleep could escape reality, he could not relieve his weakness. He wanted to continue working, but he could no longer drag his tired body…

Luo Kai stared blankly at the bleak moonlight falling outside the bars. He was originally a professor in a university, but he moved to the business world and overcoming obstacles. He finally became an executive of a large company in a confident year. Counted as a successful person, but behind these four words, he paid too much, ideals, marriage, family, and even the bottom line of humanity… Past and present life just a passing scene passed through the mind, and it was right. The old saying: “The world is a big dream, and life has been cool in autumn.

My heart is secretly sighed. I should have died when the plane crashed. What is the meaning of living for so long, not at all, death? It may be the best relief for him. Rather than starve to death, he might as well kill himself.

Slowly take out the iron cone from under the armpit, which made him dig tunnels. Shi discovered that he had been sharpened these days, and he took a deep breath and pointed it at his chest…

“Squeak…squeak! “

At this moment, there was a weak rat cry from the floor under him. The sound was inconsistent and intermittent.

Luo Kai put down his hand The iron cone looked around blankly. Hunger made his thinking slow. After a long time, he remembered something. He moved his body hard to lift the stone slab covering the mouse hole again.

A fat big mouse is here again. In the past ten days, it has become a little bigger, and its gray fur reflects a satin-like luster in the moonlight.

Luo Kai’s throat is turbulent and can’t help but swallowed saliva and said .

The mouse stick one’s head around to look for and looked around, and when he saw Luo Kai, he lightly zhi zhi to him, then retracted back into the mouse hole, and when he came out again A small piece of salted fish has been dragged.

In this way, the mouse kept coming in and out, and soon Luo Kai was filled with various foods, including small pieces of bread, naan bread, bacon, and smoked fish.

After finishing the work, the big mouse sits on the ground humanely, and panting with tongue out.

The food in front of him makes people dizzy. Luo Kai rubbed his eyes. Then he pinched his waist fiercely, and the inconspicuous pain proved that he did not dream.

The mouse gently pushed the food towards Luo Kai with his head, and zhi zhi called. Two times, it seems to say eat quickly.

Nothing is more important than food for a person who is about to starve to death. Luo Kai tremblingly picked up a piece of bacon and stuffed it into his mouth. The bursts of satisfaction from the taste buds told him that this was really not a dream.

The food entering the stomach immediately aroused the reaction of stomach acid, one after another warm current rose from the stomach and quickly diffused throughout the body , The body seemed to belong to him again.

It was too quiet late at night, he did not dare to make too much noise, even dare not chew, no matter what food was swallowed directly into his stomach.

The days seem to be getting better. The mice will bring some food every few days. Although there are not many, they pull Luo Kai back from starvation.

This young pair I don’t know how much stronger his body was than his previously hollowed out body. His weak body quickly recovered, and muddleheaded head became sober. With the strength, the tunnel excavation efficiency instantly increased countless times, not much. The sky was excavated for more than ten meters until it was blocked by a granite foundation.

The granite foundation is very long and deep, and it is not his ability to break open, and the soil here is soft. If you change the route, the short distance will be fine. Long distances are in danger of landslides at any time.

It took more than a hundred to dig this tunnel Luo Kai. Day and night, all efforts now seem to have become useless, fate is always so impermanent, and the originally born hope is shattered again.
