Chapter 1488 Hope is a very dangerous thing

The first time Andy asked Red for something, he actually asked for a stone hammer. He said that he wanted to regain his old friendship and use it to smash stones.

But Rhett didn't believe it. He felt that Andy was going to hit someone on the head with a stone hammer.

Andy shook his head and said, "I have no enemies here!"

Rhett said pointedly: "Are you sure? Don't speak too early, rumors have already spread that the three sisters are "sexually" interested in you."

As he said this, he looked in the direction of the "Three Sisters". Andy also looked over and asked Red: "Isn't it useless even if I tell them that I'm not a member of the circle?"

"Neither are they! First of all, the people in the circle are human beings, they are not even human beings!" Obviously Rhett didn't have any good impressions of those three guys.

He knelt down and continued: "They can do whatever they want, no matter whether you want it or not. If I were you, I would be more careful!"

This is also Rhett's concern. He thinks Andy is going to use a stone hammer to deal with the "three sisters."

But Andy said: "Even if there is trouble, I will not use a stone hammer!"

"Then I guess you want to escape from prison? For example, dig a hole in the ground or something." Red said again. Of course his tone was playful.

Andy couldn't help but laugh.

Andy finally got his wish, and Rhett negotiated a price with him.

But he still felt that Andy's money was wasted!

"People here like to conduct surprise inspections. If they find a stone hammer, they will definitely confiscate it!" Reid said.

"When you get caught, don't turn me in! If you betray me, no one will do business with you anymore."

The first conversation between the two ended.

Rhett's voice sounded again: "I understand why some people think he likes to be cool. He is always silent, and every move he makes is different from the people here. He wanders around like he is walking in the park. Living a carefree life. As if wearing an invisible cloak, protecting him from the disputes here. To be fair, I liked Andy from the beginning!"

Rhett still helped Andy get a stone hammer. It was a very small thing. Rhett jokingly said that it would take six hundred years to dig a prison escape hole with this thing!

Trouble still came to Andy. The notorious "three sisters" in the prison blocked Andy and beat him up, which once again showed the cruelty in prison.

In the days that followed, the "three sisters" still refused to let Andy go. He was often beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. According to Rhett's description, Andy lived the worst life in the first two years of his imprisonment! But he never said who was beaten! However, everyone knows it.

If this continues, this place will destroy Andy.

Rhett helped. When there was an opportunity to work outside the prison, he let Andy join the list, temporarily breaking away from the "three sisters."

It was during this labor that he overheard the prison guard captain and other guards talking about tax collection.

He took the initiative to walk over: "Mr. Hadley, do you believe your wife?"

This upset Hadley and he pulled out his baton.

"I mean, do you think she will be unfaithful to you?" Andy still said calmly.

This completely angered Hadley.

But just when Hadley was about to push Andy down, Andy finally revealed his purpose: "If you trust your wife, you can get the money!"

Andy told him that there was a way to legally exempt Hadley from this large amount of tax. In exchange, he won two bottles of Tiger beer for each of a dozen prisoner friends. Over a beer, Red said he felt free again for the first time in years.

Andy also showed a weird smile.

In fact, this is also a turning point in the movie, or a refreshing point!

Andy took advantage of his career and completed a gorgeous turn.

Then Andy carved another set of chess pieces, and soon Rhett was playing the chess set carved by Andy. Afterwards, Andy asked Reid to get a huge poster of a female star and put it on the wall of the cell.

But the "three sisters" still had no intention of letting him go. He was beaten to death again and lay in the hospital for a month.

The other party was also detained for a week.

But they didn't know that Andy was no longer what he used to be. He could help guard captain Hadley make money, so the guys headed by the "three sisters" were directly beaten to the point of paralysis by the guard captain and guards.

Sent directly out of Shawshank Prison.

There's never any way to come back.

On the day Andy was discharged from the hospital, he finally got his wish of getting a poster of a female star.

However, a surprise inspection by the prison was also ushered in.

But nothing was found. In fact, at this time, the audience in the theater was extremely curious, where did Andy hide the hammer?

This surprise inspection was actually just a cover. The fundamental reason was that the prison warden Norton learned about Andy's abilities from the guard captain Hadley!

The two also chatted a few words about the Bible, which was full of interesting content.

What Andy said was: "You must always be alert, because the head of the family may come back at any time."

Before leaving, Norton returned the Bible to Andy and said: "The way to salvation lies in it!"

Of course, at this moment, film critics and media people still don’t know what this sentence means? In other words, I don’t know what other meaning this sentence has?

Because Andy was proficient in financial system knowledge, he soon got rid of the heavy manual labor in prison and the harassment of other perverted prisoners.

Soon, the famous Andy began to handle tax issues for more and more prison guards, and even their children came to him for advice on their education. At the same time, Andy has gradually become an important tool for money laundering by Seanke Warden Norton. Because Andy kept writing to the governor, he finally got a small amount of money for the prison to build a prison library. Prison life is very dull, and you always have to find something to do.

Old Boo was assigned to work in the new library by Andy, and the bird he raised also grew up.

But suddenly one day, Lao Bu went crazy and kidnapped a fellow prisoner, and it turned out that it was because Lao Bu's parole application was approved.

Andy was a little confused. Why did Boo go crazy when his parole was approved?

Red told everyone: "Old Bu is not crazy, he is just institutionalized. He has stayed here for fifty years. For fifty years, he has become a frog in the well. He is still of some use here. After all, he has studied. But after he goes out, he is useless. An old man with arthritis in his hands may be refused to borrow books from the library!"

"Let me tell you, prison is a strange place. At first you hate the prison, and then you get used to it. After enough time, you will become extremely dependent on it. This is institutionalization!"

"If you are sentenced to serve a sentence here, it means you have handed over your life, at least part of it!"

Old Bu put on his suit and let the bird he had raised fly.

"I can't take care of you anymore, Jack, let's go, you're free!" Old Boo said to the bird.

When Lao Bu was released from prison, the parole board arranged a place for him to live and a job. He worked very hard, but his hands hurt terribly.

But the supermarket manager didn't like him. He would feed the birds after get off work.

He thought about his bird Jack, but it never came back.

After being released from prison, Lao Bu suffered from insomnia and nightmares every night, and sometimes he had no idea where he was.

He even thought about committing a crime and going back to prison, but he didn't do it in the end. He didn't like it there. He carved the words "Old Bu came here for a visit" there, and then hanged himself. On this day, Andy heard that Rhett liked to play the harmonica, but Rhett said that it was meaningless here.

But Andy disagreed. He said: "It's just because it makes sense to be here. If you have music, you will never forget it. Forget that there are some things in this world that cannot be closed by these high walls. There are some things in people's hearts." , what these people can’t touch or take away, it belongs completely to you!”

Rhett asked: "What are you talking about?"

Andy looked at him: "Hope!"

Rhett looked at him and said: "Let me tell you, friend, hope is a very dangerous thing. Hope can make people crazy. Hope is of no use in prison. You'd better accept your fate!"

Andy looked at him blankly and asked, "Is it like Old Boo?"

Red's parole hearing, which has been in prison for 30 years, still ended in failure.

Andy still bought a harmonica and gave it to Red as a gift for being rejected on parole. In the dead of night, the melodious and gentle sound of the harmonica can be heard echoing in the prison.

Andy helps Warden Norton launder money, but he keeps a secret. If something goes wrong, he will only be traced to the Warden.

He even took advantage of the loopholes in the system to create a "person".

There is a birth certificate and a social security number, everything is real and no one can find it out.

Andy smiled and said: "The funny thing is, before I came in, I was upright, but after I went to prison, I cheated!"

Until a young prisoner came in. This prisoner had heard about Andy's case when he was serving time in another prison. He knew who the real murderer was! But when Andy asked the warden to reopen the case, he was rejected and was severely punished by two months of solitary confinement. In order to prevent Andy from being released, the warden planned to kill the insider!

Andy learned the truth about his wife's death, and he blamed himself a little. He knew that he loved his wife, but he just didn't know how to express it.

He felt that he had indeed killed her.

Faced with the cruel reality, Andy became very depressed. One day he said to Red, "Have you ever imagined that one day you would be approved for parole?"

But Rhett said, forget it, he felt that he might not be able to adapt to the outside world, and he also thought of Lao Boo.

"I have spent most of my life here, and I have been institutionalized here, just like Old Boo!"

"Don't underestimate yourself!"

"In prison I can respond to requests, but after you get out, all you need is a phone book, and I don't even know how to check it." Rhett was pessimistic.

"I did not shoot my wife, nor did I kill her lover. No matter what mistakes I made, I have made up for it. A hotel and a boat, I think it is not too much!"

"I advise you not to think about it. It's just a dream! Mexico is far away, but you are here. This is the reality!" Rhett said disapprovingly.

He thought Andy was being crazy.

"Yeah, that's right. Mexico is far away, but I'm stuck here. I think I have only one choice, either get busy living or get busy dying!" Andy said through gritted teeth.

Finally, he said to Rhett: "If one day, you can be paroled, you must go somewhere to fulfill a wish for me. That's where I proposed to my wife. Dig out a box under a big oak tree there. .You will know what it is by then.”

Andy's words and his performance made Red worried.

The inmates were also worried. They could watch him together during the day, but he was alone at night.

At this time, another inmate, Heywood, suddenly woke up and said that Andy asked for a rope today, a two-meter-long rope!

Everyone was worried that Andy would hang himself like Lao Boo!

But there are also people who think Andy is different from Lao Boo and he won't do that.

Rhett didn't know either. He said, "Everyone is vulnerable sometimes!"

Andy went back, and he continued to help the warden handle financial matters, including money laundering and so on.

When the warden was about to go home, he asked Andy to take his clothes to the laundry room and wipe his leather shoes clean.

After he left, Andy sat on a chair and began to clean his leather shoes.

Back in the prison area, Rhett stood upstairs watching him. Back in his cell, Andy sat quietly by the bed until the lights went out.

The entire Shawshank prison fell into darkness.

Andy finally made a move and took out the rope he asked for from Haywood.

At this time, many viewers were also staring at the big screen. They were also curious, was Andy really so shocked that he wanted to commit suicide?

If that's the case, then this movie is too boring.

Andy held the rope in his hand and raised his head, his eyes shining at that moment.

Rhett couldn't sleep that night. He was obviously worried about Andy.

There was lightning and thunder outside, and the thunder reflected on Rhett's face.

Early the next morning, as usual, the prison guards came in, opened the doors of each cell, and allowed the prisoners to come out.

Count people!

Rhett immediately looked at the door of Andy's cell, but Andy did not appear.

The prison guard came to Andy's cell cursing, but the next moment he was shocked!

At this time, the camera turned and came to the warden's office. He was about to change his shoes, but found that there was only a pair of Andy's broken shoes in the shoe box.

Just then the prison alarm sounded.

Norton was furious. He came to Andy's cell, but the prison guard only said that Andy was missing.

The warden angrily picked up the stones carved by Andy and smashed them everywhere, including the poster of the female star, but this smash revealed Andy's secret.

"Fuck!"

"Fuck!"

The audience in the theater couldn't help but curse.

In fact, even Red was stunned!

Andy escapes from prison!

There's a hole in the back of that poster, obviously dug by Andy!

This turn of events left everyone stunned!

The key is that everyone also remembered Andy's earlier conversation with Red at this time. He didn't want to die at all, he had planned to escape from prison for a long time!

They searched everywhere but only found prison uniforms, soap and an almost broken stone hammer!

Red once said it would take six hundred years to dig a hole out of Shawshank Prison, but it only took Andy less than twenty years!
