Chapter 13 Enrollment or Imprisonment?
Quiet never imagined that she would be so eager to see someone.
It's been two days, and Lei Dong hasn't come to see him as he said before leaving.
On the morning of the first day, Jing thought that he would probably have to rest. In the afternoon, Jing thought to himself, maybe he was busy arranging things? At night, it was quiet in the small hut of that small mountain village, restless.
The next day, I walked out of the small courtyard early in the morning, looking at the winding mountain road from afar.
Something went wrong? Otherwise, why didn't he come? All day, Quiet stood at the gate of the small courtyard, looking at the winding mountain path below.
However, the sunset gradually set, and the thunder still did not come.
Lei Dong's friend "Brother Wang" walked out of the courtyard gate, also with a worried face: "Go back to the house, Xiao Lei may have something...... If you're really worried, give us a call. ”
Jing Jing didn't seem to hear Brother Wang's words clearly, nodded mechanically, but suddenly realized: Something? Something happened to him?
Looking at the worn-out mobile phone handed over by Brother Wang, the ominous thoughts that had been swirling in my mind all day made my quiet heart almost jump out of my chest.
The string of numbers that I remembered for a long time, I don't know how many times I thought about it, and it was already deeply in my mind, and I once again came to my mind, and I gritted my teeth quietly, no matter whether it was useful or not, whether it could help Lei Dong or not, at least give it a try!
Just when the quiet, slender and fair-skinned, almost transparent fingers gently pressed the first number, "Jingle bell-" The mobile phone, which was obviously a knock-off, rang with a screeching ringtone.
Her eyes swept in a hurry, and her quiet eyes were a condensation, and the number in the caller ID was the one she was about to dial!
What's going on? Why hasn't I called yet, but this number has already been called? And to a phone of an unrelated person?
Don't......
Surprised, but with a hint of luck and expectation, he took a deep breath quietly, and gently pressed the answer button: "Hello......"
"Is it quiet?" The person on the other end of the phone spoke with a thick accent, his voice was low, his speech was not fast, some were old, and even some were vague, but he had an indescribable majesty, and his tone was even more with a strong pressure that no one could refuse to answer, and he couldn't help but stagnate, almost a little flustered: "It's me...... I am a quiet ......" After saying this short sentence, the quiet heart has calmed down.
"Oh, haha, what a little red girl." Miraculously, the majesty of the phone disappeared in an instant, and it became extremely kind and cordial.
"Ah", quiet and very weird, "Xiaohong" is his milk name, only his mother has called her this since she was a child, and the old man opposite actually knows? That obviously means that this person is very close to their family, but why is he not impressed at all?
"You, are you ......" asked quietly and cautiously.
"I'm Tang Zhongyuan." The old man's voice was still faint, reaching the quiet ears, but it was like a thunderclap, making the silence almost cry out!
How can it be!
Of course she knew who Tang Zhongyuan was, that was a person who had been famous in the land of the Republic for decades, and even in the minds of most people, it was already a legend, a super man who would change the color of the world with a slight cough!
But how could such a prestigious figure call him? Pressing down on the excitement, he spoke quietly again: "Donald ......"
"Don't call Donald, call grandpa...... Let's call it grandpa. The old man's voice seemed very happy: "When will you come to the house to play and talk to my old man." ”
"Oh, too...... Grandpa, "It's a little awkward to be quiet, but there is an indescribable pride in my heart, the old man is famous, and how many people in the whole republic can call him an old man like this?"
But Quiet did not forget his original intention, and said in anticipation: "Grandpa, I want to inquire about something, I ...... I ......" to my lips, but I didn't know how to phrase it, and I was late for a while. The old man on the other end of the phone seemed to know what she was going to say, and chuckled a few times: "It's the matter of that kid from the Lei family, right?" He's here with me, let him tell you. ”
"I'm a thunderous old ...... Ahem...... Dad Lei Tiangang. Soon, a loud voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello uncle......" Jing Jing was a little flustered in her heart for some reason.
"Okay, okay, the first thing I said was to inquire about Lei Dong, well, a good girl!" Lei Tiangang's voice over there also became kind, and his quiet face turned red, why did this sound so ambiguous?
"Thunder him...... Is he okay? Quiet asked with a blushing face.
"It's okay, I let him go back to the army. That matter is basically settled, I will send someone to pick you up from the mountain tomorrow, ah, ah, Donald wants to talk to you. As soon as Lei Tiangang's voice fell, Old Man Tang's voice had already sounded: "Don't worry, it's okay, little red girl, come to grandpa's house tomorrow......"
Old Man Tang was still talking about something, and agreed quietly and mechanically, but sighed softly in his heart, back to the army? Is he a soldier? Isn't that a lot of suffering? Can he stand it? No, he's that good......
All kinds of thoughts flickered in my heart, quietly holding the phone in my hand, but a poem suddenly popped up in my heart: When will I see you, the willow bank, the wind and the waning moon......
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
When Quiet was fidgeting in the mountains, Lei Dong was sitting in an inconspicuous van, walking through the city of Hanjing.
At dusk that day, Lei Tiangang, who was busy outside and didn't know what he was doing, handed Lei Dong an admission notice of "Hanjing Scout Academy", and then hurriedly went out again, leaving Lei Dong alone, looking at the notice in his hand, at a loss.
"Hanjing Scout Academy"? What the hell is this? Although he has only been in the military for less than a year, he grew up in the army headquarters after all, so why have he never heard of it?
Dad didn't send himself back to the original army, but got to such a ghost place, what did he want to do?
Lei Dong glanced at the chattering guy in the driver's seat, not to mention how depressed he was.
The driver of the car was a tall and burly young man with a warm smile on his face, who looked to be only twenty-four or five years old, but he was already a major, claiming to be the head of the transportation department of the logistics department of the Hanjing Scout Academy, and his name was Wuyun.
This guy, who seemed to be extremely enthusiastic, gave Lei Dong a big hug as soon as they met, and kept expressing nonsense such as welcoming new comrades in his mouth.
"This is the first street of the Republic, Chang'an Avenue...... The total length is 38 km...... Look, this is Chengtianmen Square, the largest square in the world, known as the heart of the Republic, where the most important and grand ceremonies of the Republic will be ......"
"Do you need to say it? Is there anyone in the whole republic who doesn't know this place? Besides, Lao Tzu has lived here for 18 years, okay? Lei Dong rolled his eyes, frustrated at this overzealous guy.
In fact, what made Lei Dong even more depressed was that this guy kept looking Lei Dong up and down from the moment they met, as if he had found some particularly interesting toys.
"What's wrong with this man?" Lei Dong was speechless.
Lei Dong naturally didn't know what Wuyun was thinking in his heart at this time.
As a veteran of the most mysterious special forces unit of the Republic, Wuyun knows deeply that in the more than 60-year history of the army, there has never been a private who has been in the army for less than a year to be qualified to know the existence of this unit, let alone become a member of it.
But where did this guy come from...... Thinking of the mysterious and solemn entrustment of his top boss, Wuyun decided to make a good friend of this green-faced boy.
Gradually, the night was getting deeper, the surrounding scenery became less bright, and the people were much less crowded.
Looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the car window, listening to the chatter of dark clouds, and recalling the route of the car all the way, Lei Dong suddenly had an ominous premonition, and his heart couldn't help but beat faster and faster, almost jumping out of the cavity: wouldn't it? No way? No way? The destination won't be ...... Lei Dong was shouting silently.
It wasn't until the speed of the car slowed down and finally stopped at a very inconspicuous side gate of a compound that was not very large, but had an extremely tall courtyard wall, and the dark clouds smiled and said "It's here, get off", Lei Dong finally confirmed his guess, slumped on the seat and sighed to the sky: "I'll go!" ”
This place, he was all too familiar with - it is estimated that everyone in every republic has heard of it - Zhaodu Prison!
Zhaodu Prison, as long as you have a little knowledge of the political and social news of the Republic, will not have heard of it, this is undoubtedly the first prison of the Republic.
This prison has existed for a hundred years, and after the establishment of the Republic, it has been rebuilt and expanded, and its scale and facilities have been several times larger than the original, and it is directly under the management of the Ministry of Police, and it is the only prison in the country that does not belong to the Ministry of Justice. The high-ranking generals and political figures who were initially used to imprison the civil war that lasted for more than 20 years and were identified as the main war criminals, one by one, were either unruly or extremely reactionary, and who once controlled the fate of millions of ordinary people, and were imprisoned, reformed, and pardoned here.
During the ensuing turmoil, it was used to hold high-ranking cadres who were deemed to have betrayed the "people" and committed crimes, and ironically, the cadres who had presided over the renovation and expansion of the prison were also imprisoned in a prison here.
In addition to continuing to imprison high-ranking cadres who have taken bribes, some of the leaders of violent underworld forces who have committed extremely serious crimes and have a very bad influence, the most insidious and cunning economic fraud criminals, and some sensitive people have appeared in the list of prisoners.
However, no matter how the composition of the prisoners changes, the highest rank, the largest scale, the most mysterious internal situation, and even the prisoners in custody are the most "high-level". Among them, there are politicians who are well aware of the general domestic and international trends and have extremely strong insight and self-proclaimed systematic theories, there are scientific madmen who only know how to pursue scientific and technological breakthroughs but forget morality and ethics, and there are experts who have studied until their brains are broken and have extremely high authority in a certain field......
A few years ago, a female star who was sentenced for tax evasion claimed to be detained in Zhaodu Prison after being released from prison. What kind of place did she think this was, and she could come if she wanted to? A person who acted in a few broken movies, evaded millions of taxes, and was sentenced to ten years and eight years, is also worthy of living here? Phew! It was as if he was not running a prison for criminals, but one of the few super seven-star hotels in the world.
It's such a place, and now someone tells you that this is actually the mysterious "Scout Academy" that no one has ever heard of!
At this moment, Lei Dong was so depressed that he almost vomited blood, is there anything worse in the world than this?
Will you enlist in the army or go to prison? Isn't it true that my father said that he wanted to be a soldier, but in fact he sent himself to prison and made himself pay for everything he did?
Lei Dong was dumbfounded, and for the first time since getting into the car of the dark clouds, he spoke: "Are you sure, what Scout Academy is here?" "At his feet, he is already secretly accumulating strength, as long as the limelight is not right, he will slip away immediately!
Wuyun looked at the stunned guy in front of him, with some pity and some schadenfreude, "Strange? Feel like we shouldn't be in this place? ”
"What do you say?" Lei Dong rolled his eyes widely.
Wuyun glanced at Lei Dong, and with a light press on a certain part of the door, the iron door slowly opened.
The moment the door slowly opened, Lei Dong was stunned by what he saw!
