What the prisoners expected most was not the day when the canteen held a feast, or the occasional activities in the prison, nor the day when they were exempted from work .
They looked forward to "Visiting hours" the most .
The day they could meet their families and friends .
"Cheng Youmin, Li Sicheng, Wang Wei, Zeng Jinfu…"
The prisoners would stand up when the jailer called their names one by one . Some would go into the meeting room with sweet smiles . Some went out of the room in melancholy . And some would sit there waiting in helplessness .
Certainly, there was a man who was never called… as no one came to meet him .
The man was about 60 years old with short straight hair . His hair was half-black and half-white . He might be younger than his real age . After all, the life in jail was not comfortable so he looked old .
But Zhou Xiaokun knew that the old man sitting beside him by the field was 57 years old today . . . because today was this old man's birthday .
"Hey, bro, make a wish . Today is your birthday but there is no cake . This is an egg provided by canteen . Just take it . "
Zhou Xiaokun was sent to the prison for escaping from drunk driving . It was not very long since he came into this jail . However, this old man had already been here since Zhou Xiaokun came .
He was accused of murder .
Zhou Xiaokun didn't ask anymore . Everyone had a past . It was impolite to inquire about others' stories . Unless he was willing to tell him .
So Zhou Xiaokun only knew that the old man named Feng Guichun, a northerner . His wife died while giving birth . He had a daughter .
But his daughter never visited him—at least, his daughter hadn't come in the past one year .
"Little Zhou . " The old man…Feng Guichun was looking at the red egg in Zhou Xiaokun's hands and smiled, "You are very thoughtful . "
"Not at all . Thank you for your kind help when I came here at the beginning . " Zhou Xiaokun said with a smile .
"I have my reasons, you know . " Feng Guichun sighed and looked at Zhou Xiaokun . "Have you seen…your brother?"
"Yes, he left just now . " Zhou Xiaokun nodded and sighed, "Sorry, bro, my brother said he didn't find your daughter . "
Feng Guichun shook his head and tapped his thigh . "Never mind, I expected it . It has been many years . People here came and went . I have resorted to many people… and have gotten used to this situation . "
Seeing the old man getting hopeless, Zhou Xiaokun continued, "Don't worry, my brother said he had gotten some information about your daughter, but he just didn't find her . "
"Really?" Feng Guichun got excited . His senile eyes haven't been so bright for many years .
Zhou Xiaokun nodded and added, "Of course, my brother got it accidentally . She was adopted by the orphanage since you were arrested . "
"I know this . " Feng Guichun nodded his head, "People from that orphanage would always come to see me at the beginning . They told me about her recent life . But later, she was adopted by others… about eight years ago . I heard that they went aboard and then there was no news at all . "
"It seemed that they had come back . " Zhou Xiaokun clapped his shoulder, "And furthermore, your daughter is going to be married . "
"Is she?" Feng Guichun held Zhou Xiaokun's hands at once, "Are you kidding me?"
Zhou Xiaokun saw his tearful eyes . He had never seen this old man get so excited .
Nothing could be more exciting than that a father hearing that his daughter was getting married .
"It should be real . " Zhou Xiaokun clapped the old man's hands, too . "Congratulations, bro!"
"Same to you…" But Feng Guichun got upset with lowering his head .
"Bro?" Zhou Xiaokun was confused and asked, "Aren't… you happy?"
"I am happy . " Feng Guichun smiled rigidly . He sighed and touched his leg, "How could I be unhappy… Thank you so much, Little Zhou . It's windy . I am a little unwell . I will go back now . "
"Hey…" Zhou Xiaokun didn't know what to say while watching his back .
It's a big joyous occasion to see daughter getting married . But he… couldn't see it .
What could he do even if he knew?
His daughter, however, never thought of seeing him .
The egg was still in Zhou Xiaokun's hands . He thought that this gift would only make the old man much sadder .
Zhou Xiaokun sighed . He did not intend to eat the egg . Placing it on the bench, he walked back too .
Later, the egg was picked up by someone… the club's owner .
Luo Qiu sat on the bench watching the playground in the rain . Rainwater was flowing slowly on the field .
The scene differed a lot between the prison and outside world .
"Master, what's your opinion?"
Seeing Luo Qiu sitting here without a word, Miss . Maid could keep silent . But Tai Yinzi couldn't . So he proceeded to ask just now .
"What do you mean?" Luo Qiu asked Tai Yinzi while watching him .
"I mean…Feng Guichun . " Tai Yinzi answered in a hushed reverent voice, "You see, he was eager to see his daughter! So I guess he will do everything to achieve that! Especially when he heard what Zhou Xiaokun said just now, he must be more eager . "
Luo Qiu was watching Tai Yinzi with a faint smile on his face . Tai Yinzi added, "In addition, it is so easy to let his daughter meet him . She can come here by taxi if I possessed her body . Master, the deal is worth it . "
Tai Yinzi got a little anxious seeing no response from Luo Qiu, his eyes twinkled and went on to say, "Master, you see, Feng Guichun is willing to give everything for a chance to see his daughter . Once he sees her, he should be very touched and will weep . There will be no regrets for him then . So his soul will be of high quality . "
Luo Qiu still said nothing . Tai Yinzi felt a little flurried .
Perhaps he said something wrong? No… according to his observation these days, Master should have some interest in this .
Also, He heard the topic about soul quality through the conversations between Master and Miss . Maid sometimes .
So, what was wrong here?
Luo Qiu's silence made him feel worried .
"Master?"
Luo Qiu put the egg back and stood up, "Tai Yinzi, you finally found a decent customer this time . "
"Thanks to your blessing . "
Luo Qiu smiled lightly and then disappeared in front of Tai Yinzi…
Tai Yinzi was stunned . He looked at Miss . Maid who was going to follow Luo Qiu next . Tai Yinzi asked, "Miss . You Ye, What… did master mean? It is hard to guess . "
"Don't you hear master said the customer was good?" Miss . Maid said in a peaceful voice, "Can you understand?"
"Oh… I got it!" He shivered, "I'll get to work now, working hard!"
Miss . Maid disappeared in the rain .
This was a medical institution which cooperated with the police . Criminals and suspects would be sent here for treatment .
The window was furnished with guardrails to prevent criminals escaping .
The young policeman and another policewoman sent Zhao Ru here . Seeing Zhao Ru lying on the bed unconscious . Young police asked the doctor, "Doctor, how is she?"
"Eh, there are many possible conditions . We will do a blood draw later to see details . " The doctor withdrew the stethoscope and continued to say, "The girl's condition is pretty stable, she will wake up soon later . "
"That's fine . " The young nodded and told the policewoman, "I will go through the admission procedure with the doctor . You keep watching out her here . "
Then, he handcuffed Zhao Ru's hand to the bedrail and said seriously, "In case she escapes, be careful . "
"Got it . " The policewoman nodded, "Lin Feng, leave it to me . "
The young policeman… Lin Feng walked with doctor away .
The policewoman checked all the windows in this ward, as well as the washing room . After that, she locked the door and read the newspaper while sitting down .
But she didn't know why she became sleepy and even couldn't open her eyes .
She closed her eyes slowly, and then went into sleep with head down .
At the same time, the door was unlocked and opened by someone .
His leather shoes knocked on the floor and made noises . A man came in . He sat beside the bed after pulling a chair with him .
The man took off his glasses and rubbed it with his handkerchief .
After wiping, he wore the glasses again . The man picked up Zhao Ru's necklace after watching her for a while .
The crystal of Black Water now flashed in the man's hands .
He whispered, "It's really ugly… but it's not enough . "
The man lowered his head to get close to Zhao Ru . He was saying something to her gently .
