Chapter 156: Do Something Big
In the lake, the Thorn Flower Prison.
Three sixteen in the afternoon.
In a bright and gorgeous office on the top floor of the inner castle, Warden Jones and his butler Peter were sitting in front of the balcony drinking afternoon tea. A black cat lay on the dining table and ate a piece of bread with meat. Anyone who is familiar with the warden knows that he is a very caring person, and he likes to keep some small animals in his life, among which his favorites are cats and dogs.
He loves these kittens and puppies far more than ordinary ladies, and even specially invited a realist oil painting master to paint portraits of his cats and dogs and hang them in his office.
Once a jailer played cards too late and forgot to bring dinner to his hound 'Casey', and he was not seen to eat for a week after that.
"Greedy little guy..." Jones stroked the black cat's head with a kind smile on his face.
At only thirty-eight years old, he sat in this position. In addition to the huge background behind him, his own abilities were even more daring to ignore.
"It's raining again." Butler Peter looked at the rain outside the window and sighed.
Jones smiled lightly and said, "It's just a drizzle."
"Light rain will always turn into heavy rain." The housekeeper said sadly.
Jones beckoned to the maid next to him, who understood what he meant and handed over a fluffy padded jacket obediently, "Does your spine hurt again? Put it on." Jones handed the padded jacket to the housekeeper.
Butler Peter hurriedly got up and thanked him. After putting on the fleece jacket, he sighed: "Every time the disaster and rainy season comes, the old problems are committed, and they can't be corrected."
Jones smiled slightly. At this moment, a slender woman walked quickly from the outside and whispered a few words in his ear. Hearing her words, the smile on Jones' face slowly disappeared, he nodded slightly, looked at the light rain outside the window, and said softly, "You're right, light rain always turns into heavy rain. "
The butler noticed the expression on his face and asked, "What happened?"
"A prisoner ran away." Jones said softly: "It's the little guy who came three years ago. Just now, the jailer heard news that he has left the cell. There is a pit and tunnel inside the cell, and he dug the tunnel to escape. "
"Jailbreak?" The housekeeper was a little surprised. "He has tools? It's a lake outside, where to escape from?"
"It should be a tool stolen at work, digging through the bottom of the lake and running out from the bottom of the lake." Jones looked out the window, tapped his finger on the table, and said, "The radius of our lake should be three More than a hundred meters."
The housekeeper was shocked and said, "Drawing out a tunnel at the bottom of the entire lake? This, how is this possible, where did he move the soil through such a long tunnel?"
The slender woman next to him said respectfully, "I heard from the jailer that the soil was brought into the cell by him and smeared on the walls and the ground. Because the smear was too uniform, it was not noticed by the jailer in the dim light. The walls and ground are much higher than other cells."
The butler was stunned for a moment, unable to speak.
Jones raised his hand and stroked the black cat on the table that was still nibbling the minced meat in the bread. The black cat ignored their conversation and concentrated on eating. He gently stroked the cat's fluff and whispered, "I will be wanted. The order is passed on, and in addition, the black cavalry is notified to immediately trace the whereabouts of the criminals."
"Yes." The slender woman agreed and turned around to retreat.
"Wait." Jones stopped him, but still looked kindly at the black cat in his hand, and said softly: "The people who have been in charge of delivering food for the past week, let them accompany Casey."
The slender woman's cold hair stood on end, her body tightened and she agreed, then quickly turned and left.
After she left, the housekeeper Peter was still a little bit lost, and couldn't help but said, "The structure of our prison should have no flaws. Even outside the excretion tunnel, there are guards, how could he escape."
Jones shook his head slightly and said: "There is no defect, perhaps the biggest defect. Because this prison is built at the bottom of the lake, the walls are too thick. We always thought that,
No one would be foolish enough to chisel such a thick wall, not to mention the lake bottom outside, other prisoners also think so, but this is a misunderstanding, it is not necessary to chisel the wall, the thickness of the wall makes this little guy inside the chiseled wall During the passage, no one heard the vibration. This is the biggest advantage of our prison, and now it is also the biggest disadvantage. "
The housekeeper fell silent and sighed: "If this is the case, this time it can be regarded as a reminder to us that the solid prison causes the guards to relax their vigilance and is too careless. The 100-meter tunnel escapes him, and the round-trip time in between can expose him."
Jones nodded slightly, "Fortunately, it's just the little guy on the first floor." After that, he patted the black cat on the table and said with a smile, "Greedy guy, go play while you're full."
...
...
In the northern district of the slum, on a desolate and remote street, there is a small factory.
Du Di'an bought some food in a roadside tavern, hired a carriage to come here, and when the carriage arrived, the food he bought had already been eaten in the carriage, and the fatigue of several days suddenly felt a lot relieved, and his body was also relieved. regained some strength.
After getting off the carriage, Du Dian took a look at the small factory. Just as he was about to enter, he saw a notice hanging outside the factory, which was his wanted order.
"Only one night passed, and the wanted order was sent here. The efficiency is quite fast." Du Dian's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not avoid it. Kruen, Joseph..."
The old man raised his eyes listlessly, glanced at Du Dian, and said, "They are at work, what are you looking for?"
Du Di'an took out three copper coins from his pocket and handed them to him, saying, "Help me call them out, just say their old friends came to visit them."
When the old man saw the copper coins, he suddenly woke up from his sleepy appearance, put away the copper coins with a smile, and said, "Okay, wait here, I'll call you right away."
When you're done, turn around and leave.
Du Di waited quietly beside him. It was normal for the old man not to recognize that he was the person on the wanted order. He has tied up his hair at the moment, which is far from the disheveled appearance on the wanted order. In the past three years, Although prison guards often torture prisoners, they are not impressed by the prisoners' faces. After all, they have not been groomed for a long time, often covered by hair, and no one is interested in remembering a face that is mortal.
Therefore, the person painted on the image based on the image of the jailer is completely different from his actual appearance. Although there is a portrait of him when he was just imprisoned, showing his delicate facial features, but three years later, his appearance has appeared extremely Great changes, you must know that the most rapid stage of a person's growth is from the age of ten to sixteen. Today, he is completely different from the childish and tender appearance on his face before, in torture, pain and hunger. As he grew up, his face became thinner and his brows were high. Although he was only sixteen years old now, he had a somewhat mature and cold temperament.
What's more, there is evenly coated coal on his face, even acquaintances have to stare carefully for a long time before they can see some familiar outlines.
After a while, the old man returned, followed by four figures, Barton, Kruen, Joseph and Barry. In the past three years, the appearance of the four of them has also changed a lot, but Du Dian still recognized it at a glance.
The four of them saw Du Dian at the door, with a bit of doubt on their faces, and they stepped forward and said, "Who are you?"
Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "Come with me to the abandoned factory."
"Abandoned factory?" The four of them were shocked when they heard these words, and immediately showed a look of surprise. Barton said excitedly: "You are finally back, Di..."
Du Dian raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "Follow me first."
Barton was startled, suddenly thought of something, his face changed, and he didn't say anything more.
The other three looked at each other, and Barry hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Seeing that the four of them were going to leave with Du Di'an, the old man hurriedly said, "It's still working hours, where are you four going? Don't you want a salary?"
Barton continued: "Master, please help us take a leave."
"I can't help with this." The old man immediately shook his head and refused.
Du Dian said to the four: "I don't need the work here, come with me."
The four looked at each other, vaguely guessing something, and didn't say more.
The old man looked at Du Dian in amazement and said, "Boy, what are you talking about, if they leave, the salary for two months will be gone."
Du Dian ignored him, turned around and left.
The four immediately followed.
After a while, Du Dian and the four returned to the abandoned factory in the wilderness.
"Dian, what the hell is going on? Why are you wanted? Where have you been in the past three years? The wanted order says you are a heinous criminal. What crime did you commit? Is it murder? I don't believe it. Even if it is a mistake to kill, it is not a heinous crime." As soon as he arrived at the abandoned factory, Barton asked eagerly, his face full of worry.
Du Dian's eyes swept across several people's faces one by one, and when he saw a faint worry on Barry's face, a ray of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he said to several people: "The arrest warrant is right, I didn't have one before. It's a crime, but it's different now." He looked at the four of them and said, "Are you willing to do something big with me?"
The four of them looked at each other, and Kruen asked in a low voice, "Is that what happened before?"
Du Di'an smiled slightly, shook his head gently and said, "It's a bigger matter."
The four of them looked at each other and saw the hesitation on each other's faces. Barry looked complicated and said, "Dian, why don't we stop, it's good to live an ordinary life like this, we are now every day. Work, although hard, can still make ends meet.”
Du Dian glanced at him, his expression unchanged, and said to the other three: "How about you?"
Klein said worriedly: "Although we want to help you, but now you are wanted, once you are exposed, it will be over."
Barton didn't speak, he kept staring at Du Dian, and after Klein finished speaking, he suddenly said: "Dian, no matter what you want to do, I will follow you, I said, my life is given by you, even if You ask me to rob, and I'll go too!"
Du Dian glanced at him with a smile on his face.
"Me too." Joseph gritted his teeth and said, "I said at the beginning that I don't want to live without the next meal. Although I found work in the factory, what do other people think of us? Contempt, Disgust, I've had enough!"
Klein and Barry were startled and fell silent.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Barton said angrily: "Dian is wanted now, and it is the time of isolation and helplessness. Are you just watching Dean being wanted?!"
Klein gritted his teeth slightly and said, "I don't want to either, but what can we do with just the few of us? Can we still make Dean's wanted order revoked?"
Barton suffocated and said angrily: "Even if it doesn't work, now Dean needs help, but you are holding back. How can you be worthy of Dean taking you out of the orphanage?"
The two looked ugly and couldn't speak.
Du Dian glanced at them and said, "You don't have to have any psychological burden. I said that I brought you out to repay your kindness for taking care of me. If you want to live a peaceful life, you can leave now, but I hope you'd better not expose what's going on here."
When the two heard Du Di'an's words, they bowed their heads, and Kruen clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Damn, I'll give it up, the big deal is to fight, anyway, I'm fed up with the mocking voices of those idiots."
Barry suddenly crawled on the ground and said: "Dian, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I can't do it, I already have someone I like, I just want to live a peaceful life, I hope you can forgive me, I promise, absolutely I won't talk about what's going on here."
Du Di'an's expression remained unchanged, and nodded slightly: "Okay, I wish you happiness, go."
Barry raised his hand to wipe away his tears. He didn't dare to look at Patton and the others, and turned away without looking back.
Du Di looked at the back of his departure quietly, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
