life imprisonment

In front of Xu Shisan was a huge cave.

Both sides of the path at the entrance of the cave are covered with all kinds of rare and exotic grasses, and the faint fragrance of flowers is also tantalizing. The warm sunshine shining on people is really indescribably comfortable.

Xu Shisan looked up at the not-so-glare sun, and sighed softly. On such a comfortable day, he was assigned to the deepest part of the stone prison as a prison guard.

Sometimes, it may not always be a good thing for a person to be honest and responsible.

Because one of the former prison guards was sick and resigned, he was selected by the head of the prison under the recommendation of everyone.

When the big iron gate in front of him slowly opened, a gust of wind blew over, Xu Shisan trembled all over, and then was pushed by the chief steward who was in charge of taking him in.

"Let's go." The chief manager's voice was always cold, and it sounded unkind.

Xu Shisan was always afraid of this indifferent-looking chief executive, so he immediately braved up and walked in.

As soon as the two of them entered the cave, the one-foot-thick iron gate behind them slowly closed again. Xu Shisan knew that a very extraordinary person was imprisoned in this heavily guarded stone prison.

But a lowly guard like him is not qualified to know the other party's identity.

Xu Shisan took a sneak look at the Chief Manager who was moving forward with a blank expression, thinking, the other party must know the identity of the prisoner.

The environment inside the cave is completely different from that outside the cave. It's damp and cold inside. If it weren't for the stone walls on both sides with a night pearl embedded every ten steps, you must be blind.

Before Xu Shisan could sigh a little more at those fist-sized Ye Mingzhu, a stone room appeared in front of him.

There were a few guards in purple sitting in the stone room. They were drinking and eating meat. When they saw the manager bring Xu Shisan in, they immediately stood up solemnly.

"I met Mr. Li."

The manager nodded slightly, and said to them, "Open the secret door, I'm going to take this newcomer down."

Xu Shisan took advantage of this stall to take a quick look at this relatively large stone room. The room is very clean, with a bed, a table and stools, and even a shelf full of books.

In order to protect the people living here from the cold, a stove was lit for warmth.

It seems that the treatment in the underground stone prison is not as bad as the rumors outside. I thought it was a dead end to work here.

Xu Shisan heaved a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, he saw that the stone wall that had no trace before had turned open a movable stone door, and the chief manager had already entered the door.

"Follow me soon."

Amidst the laughter of several purple-clothed guards, Xu Shisan hurriedly followed in. As soon as he entered the door, he found that there was a downward stairway. It seemed that the stone prison was still deep in the ground.

The stairway is steep and narrow. Apart from the luminous pearls used for lighting, there are many dragon head decorations on the stone walls on both sides. I don't know what they are used for.

Xu Shisan walked carefully while leaning on the wall, panicked for a while, until another door appeared, he counted secretly, and he stepped down a total of 99 stairs.

Across a stone gate, Xu Shisan heard the sound of water.

When the stone door was opened, a gigantic cave of water shone brightly by the cluster of fire appeared in front of his eyes.

The turbulent water curtain flew from top to bottom in the black deep pool, splashing pearls and jade. Two giant stone dragons squatted in front of the deep pool, guarding a carved stone bridge extending to the depth of the water curtain.

The four men in gold came out of the stone chambers on both sides after seeing the chief manager coming. Xu Shisan saw that each of them had a golden long knife hanging on their body, and a golden dragon-shaped token hanging on their waist. Immediately knowing the identities of the other party, they must be four of the extremely high-status Golden Dragon Nine Guards.

When the manager saw them, he also took out his token to conduct an inspection with them.

"Please open the water door, I will take him in to take over."

The man in gold at the head gave Xu Shisan a cold look, and said with a hoarse smile, "Thanks for your hard work, brother."

Xu Shisan smiled slowly, but saw two gold-clothed men walking in front of the stone dragon. They pushed the two-person tall giant stone dragon up at the same time, and at the same time, the giant stone dragon rushed down. The water curtain miraculously stopped flowing, the sound of splashing water stopped, and a gloomy grotto appeared at the end of the stone bridge.

As the general manager stepped onto the wet stone bridge and walked into the grotto, Xu Shisan discovered that there were no gaps on the four walls of the grotto. Just when he was puzzled, the sound of water moved loudly again. He saw the water curtain drop down suddenly, blocking everything in front of his eyes, presumably it was the result of Shilong being pushed again.

Standing behind the rushing water curtain at such a close distance, Xu Shisan couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart. Suddenly, he was lightly patted on the shoulder, and when he turned around, he saw that a hole had opened on the smooth grotto wall at some point. Curved stone gate.

"Why are you still in a daze, the inside is where you will work in the future."

Mr. Li's cold voice reached Xu Shisan's ears again, and he glanced inside the door curiously, and it turned out that there was something wrong with it.

This place is spacious and bright, with torches burning everywhere on the stone walls, and the left sides of the caves on both sides have been built to look like closed cells, and the words "C" and "supervisor first class" are written on the doors in vermilion lacquer.On the right side is Xiu Zuo's living or working place, many people in different clothes are busy coming in and out.

Manager Li led Xu Shisan straight to the very large stone room in the middle on the right. Inside sat an old man with a pipe in his mouth, carefully looking through an account book. Behind him, other people were also busy looking through it. wearing something.

"Old Hu, this is a newcomer, I leave it to you."

Manager Li patted Xu Shisan on the back and sat down himself.

The man called Lao Hu raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Shisan, then continued to look through the account books.

"Do you know where this is?"

"I know." Xu Shisan has been in Fenghua Valley for 16 years. Although this is the first time he has entered the underground stone prison, he has already heard of this purgatory on earth.

Old Hu took a puff of his cigarette, and closed the account book in front of him. He tilted his pipe, and there was a cold smile in his cloudy eyes.

"It's not easy to come here to work, but Guli can't treat you badly. The monthly salary is ten taels of gold, and there are three ten-day holidays a month, and one two-day holiday. Except for ten-day holidays or leave due to illness, you have to stay here for the rest of the time. Underground. There are still many rules, the most important thing is that after you go out, no matter what you see or hear, you must not disclose it to others, and you know the consequences."

Xu Shisan nodded vigorously.

Suddenly, Lao Hu's voice became louder, and he shouted to the door, "Amon, Amon, here's a newcomer, I'll give it to you."

Soon, a man in a brown coat wiped his sweat and came in. When he came in, Xu Shisan clearly smelled the man's excrement.

"Damn it, that guy from Prison C and Fourth got mad for some reason, and got things in the toilet all over the place, Hu, you have to ask the torture room to clean him up!"

After Amon finished cursing, he saw Xu Shisan's new face.

"Is this guy here to take over?"

"Yes, isn't there a shortage of people in your place? Take him to work quickly. I'll let Yu Zheng deal with the fourth person in Prison C in a while. By the way, you will teach him the rules here later."

Hearing what Old Hu said, the angry Amon snorted in satisfaction. He glanced at Xu Shisan, an honest boy, and shouted, "Come and help first!"

After Xu Shisan and Lao Hu saluted with Manager Li, they followed Amon and retreated. As soon as he reached the door, he heard Manager Li saying, "How is Supervisor Jiayi going? You can get it next month." Sent it out again."

"Don't worry, ask someone to watch carefully every day. I'm sure he won't find death, and he won't be blamed, hehe."
