He Qianjian waited and waited, and finally the prison guard asked him questions. He had already forgotten Zhou Yang's reminder, and immediately admitted the fact and expressed his wish to change cells. When he learned that he could only choose between No. 15 and No. 16, he chose No. 15 without hesitation.
Previously, he was planning to do some small business in prison and offended the boss of Cell 16. He had been taught a lesson by him countless times, both openly and secretly. Wang Hei became more and more bold because he felt that he had offended people and had no scruples. If he changed to Cell 16, he would be courting death.
When the prison guard heard He Qianjian's choice, he opened his mouth and hesitated for a moment, but then he thought that this was a prison, not a student dormitory, and he was not a dormitory manager, so there was nothing to persuade him and he stopped talking.
He Qianjian was so immersed in the surprise of being able to change his cell that he ignored the horrified and shocked expressions of his cellmates as he left with his bedding.
The lights were about to be turned off. There was a clang, followed by the sound of the door being locked. He Qianjian stood at the door of the old house with a quilt, greeted by a room full of silent gazes.
Neither side spoke, but both had a lot to say in their hearts.
He Qianjian was very alert. Bullying was very common in prison. When he first came in, he was still the eldest son of the He family. The prison guards would look after the two of them, and those prisoners who didn't like him would also restrain themselves a little. But later, no one came to visit him. The people here understood his situation. Although they were still a little concerned about his identity, he still suffered a lot.
Since he was planning to change a cell, he was prepared to be bullied again. However, he had already asked the dwarf who was on good terms with him in the same prison. He said that cell No. 15 was the quietest in the entire prison, which meant that there were not many fights in this cell and it was a good choice.
Despite this, he still imagined many scenes when he first moved in and had thought of ways to deal with them. However, the long silence made him a little unsure.
While He Qianjian was nervous, the others at No. 15 were thinking: Here comes an unlucky guy.
When the prison guard brought He Qianjian in just now, he said: This is your new roommate, and then locked the door. All the prisoners here were thinking about how to get out of here. When they saw someone rushing in here for the first time, and saw that his face was still bruised and he looked thin, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. They didn't know who this kid had offended to be so cruel as to send him here.
The two sides were still confronting each other in silence when the lights in the room suddenly went out. It was time to turn off the lights.
He Qianjian didn't dare to go in. He knew that under the current circumstances, he had to speak.
"My dear brothers, I..."
"Shh!"
He Qianjian just opened his mouth when the person closest to him jumped up and covered his mouth. After covering his mouth, the first thing that person did was to look towards the innermost bed. The others also turned their heads in unison. It was quite eerie in the dark and silent space.
He Qianjian didn't understand what was going on. The unknown always brings fear. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of that sturdy arm from the corner of his eye. The tattoos on his arm looked very ferocious under the moonlight. He had been confident at first, but now this situation made him a little uneasy. After the man let go of him, he lowered his voice and asked, "Why are you covering my mouth?"
Seeing that he knew to keep his mouth low, the man with tattoos thought that he was not tactless and that he was not a good person either. However, who knows if the person inside was unhappy and would implicate others, so for his own sake he had to remind He Qianjian: "Shut up, don't make any noise, and go to sleep on the empty bed."
By the last sentence, Huabi already felt some sympathy.
The only empty bed here is the one closest to the man who is the most unapproachable. No one wants to sleep on that bed because the last person who slept on it went crazy. However, even with that bed between them, the two people in the bunk bed closest to the inner bunk bed are trembling with fear every day, for fear that they might make too much noise, or look over there without controlling themselves, or do something wrong and offend that person.
——There was a person who had his eye poked out before. I heard that the reason was that he always looked over there, but no one believed it. In this cell, who dared to look over there? They didn’t even dare to get out of bed from that side. They would turn their heads sideways when they went back!
In short, not just the man with tattoos, but everyone in No. 15 - except the one who was sleeping in the innermost room and hadn't spoken a word - couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for He Qianjian.
In this weird atmosphere, He Qianjian walked in with a quilt. When he saw that no one was sleeping on the upper and lower bunks of the second-to-last bed, and that only one person was sleeping on the lower bunk of the bed closest to the wall, he felt confused. There were many people imprisoned in Zhangshan Prison, and most of the cells were full. It was rare to see three empty beds in a room.
However, he still listened to the reminder from the man just now. He Qianjian tried to move as lightly as possible and lay down on the bed. After lying down, he discussed with the system in his mind.
He Qianjian: [There is something strange about the people in this cell. Have you noticed? ]
System: [You will not live here for more than two weeks. Just be quiet and do nothing. Just wait to escape. Don't think too much.]
He Qianjian knew this was the truth. He had the same thought when he was changed cells. However, he didn't know if it was because the people today were too weird or what, he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
However, he also knew that no matter how much he said to the system, it would not comfort him or anything. He could only hold back the uneasiness, close his eyes and wait to fall asleep.
But the atmosphere just now made it hard for people not to think too much. He Qianjian couldn't help thinking about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and he became more and more awake. When he felt a little sleepy, it was already dark outside.
There is naturally no entertainment in prison. After dinner, we watch the news. After watching it, we can go back to our cells and move around freely for a while. The lights will be turned off at 8:30.
At this time, it should be past twelve o'clock at the earliest.
He Qianjian glanced at the tall bed and was about to fall asleep in a daze. However, before he fell asleep, he suddenly woke up with a start. He finally understood why he had been feeling something was wrong since he lay in bed.
——There was not a single sound in the entire cell.
Before, on the 14th, at night, there were constant sounds of snoring, talking in sleep, and even the bed shaking due to doing certain things. Some of the sounds would quiet down in the early morning, but the snoring would definitely continue throughout the night.
With so many grown men sleeping in a small cell and the beds being close to each other, these noises were inevitable. He Qianjian was not used to it when he first came in and could not fall asleep for several days. Later he gradually got used to these noises.
But... after all, there are eleven grown men living in this room. Isn't there a big man who grinds his teeth and talks in his sleep?
He Qianjian didn't believe it, because in this room, not only were there no such sounds, even the sound of breathing was so faint that it was almost inaudible, as if the people here had not fallen asleep, but were holding their breath waiting for dawn.
Thinking of this, He Qianjian felt like he almost got goose bumps on his arms. It was too weird.
【system! 】
【What's up? 】
[Please help me check if anyone here is asleep.]
The system didn't understand what He Qianjian was doing, but since they were so close and in the same room, it could analyze the data of people's breathing rate and heart rate to get the result He Qianjian wanted. He quickly gave an answer: [One person slept, and the other nine did not sleep.]
[Who is sleeping?] He Qianjian suddenly remembered the bed next to him that he had not seen since he came in, and asked: [Is it the person next to me?]
【yes. 】
Suddenly, there was a sound of someone turning over in the next room. For no reason, He Qianjian, along with all the prisoners in the cell, tensed up.
However, the man seemed to have just turned over, and soon there was no movement.
He Qianjian breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help thinking more. It was obvious that the people here were concerned about the person in the bed next to him. However, he had been here for half a year and had never heard that there was anyone in Room 15 who should not be provoked. Even Wang Hei was quite famous. It seemed that this person was just a deterrent to this cell and it was actually nothing big.
After figuring this out, He Qianjian couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't notice that when he fell asleep, the person in the next bed sat up, stared at him for a long time before lying down again.
