The 15 years of imprisonment brought a great psychological shadow on Xia Zuoyang, absolutely beyond the imagination of many people.

A boy at the age of the sun, not to mention the stigma of a murderer, left the most precious period of his life in a place where countless "bad guys" were trapped, both physically and mentally. Come, it is a huge torture.

In order to serve as the guard of Hongzhou Prison, Yan Wenjun, a young boy who was sent here 15 years ago caught his attention.

There are mostly two kinds of people who can be sent here, one is obedient and submissive to everyone, while the other is gloomy and domineering, and does not change the previous rampant style. Of course, as a person with dozens of With many years of work experience, he naturally has his own unique set of experiences and methods on how to deal with this special group of people.

It is precisely because of this that Yan Wenjun is also deeply respected by colleagues and even prisoners.

It's just this man who paid attention to a prisoner for the first time in his work in many years.

His name was Xia Zuoyang, a child who had just grown up, and Yan Wenjun didn't know that he was charged with manslaughter until he was sent here.Perhaps it is precisely because of his childish face that he was only sentenced to 15 years in prison.

Unlike other prisoners, this young man should have been full of sunshine and vitality, but he showed a taciturn state.

Except for the daily work report, Xia Zuoyang was hiding in that crowded and dark cell almost every day, and he was not even willing to come out to let the wind go, and see the sunshine that every prisoner longs for and cherishes very much.

Sometimes, when Xia Zuoyang came out to work with other prisoners in the morning, Yan Wenjun could notice the bruises on his face. Didn't he ask this young man if he was beaten by other prisoners in the cell? But he always shook his head, never willing to identify anyone.

And knowing that every cell has its own small gang and unwritten rules, even if he asked other prisoners in the same cell as him, none of them would admit to beating Xia Zuoyang.

He used his power to change the cell for the young man twice, but it didn't take long, and he could still see a few scars on his face from time to time.

Yan Wenjun also talked to Xia Zuoyang several times. He tried to understand what this young man was thinking, but every time he raised his doubts, Xia Zuoyang just shook his head slightly, unwilling to say more to him. One sentence.He still clearly remembered the impressive conversations between the two of them.

"Xiao Xia, do you know that if you behave well, you can get your sentence reduced. You have to know that you were sentenced to 15 years. Think about it. You are only now. After 15 years, you will go out again. You are already 33 years old, the most beautiful golden age in your life, do you plan to stay in this place?" Yan Wenjun tried to open the closed heart of this young man.

However, Xia Zuoyang seemed unmoved at all, and said expressionlessly, "Otherwise? Do I have other choices?"

"I tried to find out some information about your case, but in the end it was fruitless. What happened at the time of the case, you didn't say clearly. Why did you admit your crime so casually? offense?"

"It's already been said that it's a crime, so what else is there to deny?"

"If you have any grievances, you can tell me, and I may be able to help you."

"Strict discipline, I have nothing to say, I have to confess, I have already confessed in court, I came here, I have no intention of defending anything, 15 years is the price I should pay, I admit it, so, You should stop questioning me, and send me back to your memory."

Seeing Xia Zuoyang standing up and stretching out his hands towards him expressionlessly, it seemed that he no longer felt the slightest sense of humiliation for the addition of handcuffs, nor did he have the slightest thought of fighting against fate.

It was this boy who stayed in the place where he worked for 15 years.

It is said that children who can cry have milk to eat. In this small world, there is also the law of Conglin here. If you show a lot of performance and work hard to deal with the guards, you can win the opportunity to reduce the sentence. Everyone They all understand the truth, but Xia Zuoyang doesn't seem to understand.

Whether it was with the guard or the prisoners in the same prison, this young man never seemed to intend to establish friendship or relationship with anyone, and that silent character not only did not change, on the contrary, it became more and more obvious in the accumulation of these years. more and more depressing.

Yan Wenjun was curious about this young man until he walked out of prison 15 years later, watching him change from a young child to a silent and depressed adult.

And with his departure, Yan Wenjun also gradually began to forget the past of this young man in prison. After all, he left here to start a new life of his own. As a prison guard, more The most important thing is to deal with the prisoner, and maybe there will be no intersection between him and him.

Until one day, while drinking tea in the office and watching the daily legal news, he heard a call from the guard on duty, saying that someone was looking for him.

For the people who come here, Yan Wenjun is not surprised. After all, there are many family members of prisoners who come to visit every day, and things that rely on relationships happen from time to time. As long as it is within the policies and regulations, he often gives the green light. After all, every family member here, the kind of missing children or parents' heart is true, and he is happy to help them.

Yan Wenjun did not wait in the office, but took the initiative to go to the meeting room.

And when he saw the face sitting there waiting, Yan Wenjun froze for a moment.

Seeing the guard who took care of him the most, Xia Zuoyang showed a kind of initiative and courtesy for the first time, stood up from the chair, and showed a very rare smile, although it looked very ugly.

"It's you?"

Yan Wenjun walked over, but his previously surprised expression changed into a smile, and he stretched out his hand to him: "Long time no see."

"Strict discipline, long time no see." Although Xia Zuoyang was a little surprised by Yan Wenjun's actions, he still stretched out his hand in cooperation, shook him, and exchanged greetings.

"Hehe, we're all out now, so don't call me any more discipline. If you don't feel awkward, just call me Uncle Yan."

"I am used to calling the name discipline. It has been called for 15 years in a flash. How can it be so easy to change."

After Xia Zuoyang finished speaking, a wry smile appeared on his face, how Yan Wenjun couldn't see how much bitterness and sorrow was contained in his smile.

"Okay, okay, I won't mention the past. Now that you have returned to your normal life, let's talk again, and it's time to talk about some relaxing topics."

"Okay." Xia Zuoyang nodded with a smile.

Yan Wenjun carefully observed those faces, only a few short months without seeing him, this man's personality seems to have undergone a huge change, he seems to be much more cheerful, but in Yan Wenjun's eyes, behind that cheerfulness, there is There seemed to be something strange again, he didn't know whether it was his own illusion, or Xia Zuoyang had become a little scary.

This kind of thought just flashed in his mind, and he was still willing to believe that Xia Zuoyang, who had returned to a normal life, had walked out of the haze of that period of life and stepped onto the right track.

"Since you're here, it's better to meet you by chance. Let's stay and have a meal together at noon today."

"How can this be done, strict discipline." Xia Zuoyang waved his hand.

"Look at you, you still have strict discipline." Yan Wenjun reprimanded with a smile.

"Uncle Yan..."

"Hehe, then it's settled. I'll arrange it later."

"Then what a shame. You took good care of me when you were inside before. Today's meal must be invited by me."

"Oh?" Yan Wenjun first glanced at Xia Zuoyang with doubts, and then gave out a hearty smile: "Since you have this kind of heart, will it be a bit hypocritical for me to refuse? Well, it's still a while before I get off work." For half an hour, you should understand the regulations here, and it’s not convenient for me to invite you in during working hours, so you wait for me in the family rest area, and I’ll go find you after work.”

"Okay." After talking to Yan Wenjun, Xia Zuoyang turned around and walked towards the family rest area.

Looking at the barely young figure from the back, Yan Wenjun felt a little emotional, but also a little confused. What happened to this young man in just a few months?

Half an hour passed quickly, and Yan Wenjun handed over the work of the prison area to Xiao Wang on duty, and walked to the family rest area as agreed.

Just like 15 years ago, Xia Zuoyang still sat there without moving, and looked out the window in a daze, as if he could feel that there should be no waves in his heart.

Yan Wenjun shook his head and walked over slowly.

"Xiao Xia?"

A soft whisper didn't seem to have awakened Xia Zuoyang's mind, so Yan Wenjun raised his voice once: "Xiao Xia, what are you thinking about!"

Xia Zuoyang, who was awakened by the sound, turned his head and looked at Yan Wenjun fiercely. He was stunned for a moment, and then showed an apologetic smile: "Uncle Yan, I'm sorry, I was a little distracted just now."

"Hehe, it's nothing. There are no entertainment programs here, and there are no familiar faces. I can't think of what to do except to be in a daze."

This sentence seems to be a true portrayal of his work in these years. Apart from dealing with prisoners every day, staying away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the temptation of feasting, the rest is a boring and monotonous life.

"Okay, let's not talk about that, let's go eat."
