The day I was released from prison was a sunny and beautiful weather. The March wind blew from the hills and mixed with a hint of warmth blew into the prison yard, which made me feel a little surprised.

I had been looking forward to leaving day and night, but when I really left, I felt an unspeakable emotion in my heart. This emotion was definitely not reluctance, nor was there no nostalgia. I just felt like some of my marks had been deeply imprinted here and could not be taken away! I could not forget it!

Maybe I finally got into the footsteps of Lao Bu, but I was not as long as he was here, and I still have the courage to go out. No matter whether the world has isolated me from the outside, I probably wouldn't choose Lao Bu's path.

Xiao Tang and his brothers in the prison have said goodbye to me. They have been sent to a place I don’t know about to plant trees, so no one will send me off when I leave, which is exactly what I want.

If Xiao Tang was there, facing my departure, he would be as sentimental as a poet, and would probably shed tears on the spot!

More than three years of prison life seem to have made my body gradually numb to suffering, but also made my heart softer again. I can never see tears again!

The warden encouraged me earnestly. This middle-aged man with a handsome and tall figure never seemed to have such a look. He seemed to be making his final instructions to an old friend about to make a trip.

I was wearing the clothes I had when I came in and stood in front of the warden and listened quietly to his teachings.

If my memory is not confused, it was probably Mu Xichun bought it for me. The reason for buying it was to meet his father decently! I still remember that this dress was the most expensive dress I have ever worn.

It was just a few years of placement that had already lost its former luster, some wrinkles and some deformations, and seemed to have become slightly looser. I knew that my body could no longer support this outfit at this moment.

The warden patted my shoulder and said let's go!

I pondered for a moment, and had a lot of things to say in my heart, but I couldn't say it for a while.

The warden kept sending me to the gate of the prison and waved to me!

After leaving the gate, I stood still and turned around, took a look at everything that became familiar here for the last time, and then left without looking back!

In fact, I only stayed in the sentence of seven and a half years. I didn’t expect that the sentence was reduced by more than half. It was a bit incredible to me in the envy of my inmates, and it seemed that I had never heard of such a thing.

Even though I performed well, I never lost points in violation of discipline, but there were many people like me, but no one else had received such a large amount of commutation from me. In fact, although the warden didn't say it, I could still vaguely know that I was able to come out so quickly, probably because of the scar on my face and my stomach that had not been healed.

Since that accident, my stomach has become very delicate. At first I thought the wound was not healing completely, but it never healed for a long time.

When I was working in a smelter two years ago, although I was assigned to work in the warehouse afterwards, I often felt hungry before meals because I couldn't eat too much. However, as long as my stomach dared to be hungry, it would twitch involuntarily, which almost caused me great pain.

Until later I had to think of a way. When I had breakfast every day, I would keep some food in plastic bags. Sometimes it was half a steamed bun, and sometimes it was a rice ball. When I felt hungry, I would put my stomach on my stomach.

Although the steamed buns are like stones when they are cold, and the rice balls are like raw rice when they are cold, they can prevent my stomach from hurting so much that I can't control myself.

The prison guards, the supervisors and the warden of the prison are aware of this situation, and it is precisely for this reason that they will take special care of me from time to time.

After all, I was injured while working in prison. Speaking of which, they also blamed for being inadvertent. I am suffering from such a chronic disease, they probably know that it is difficult to blame, so they passed

Other ways to compensate me, which is probably why I was able to come out earlier, I think!

Since no one knows when I am released from prison, naturally no one will come to pick me up. I walked forward step by step with my back to the prison, and I didn't feel any lightness in my heart.

After leaving the road that I specially built to the prison, I finally saw this world that I had long lost. Several farmers sow seeds in the fields, and a few buffaloes were raising their heads to eat grass by the field. After seeing me, they raised their heads and looked at me for a while, and then lowered their heads to eat grass again.

Because this place is remote, even when I arrive at the main road, there are still few vehicles. I waited in front of a rusty stop sign for half an hour before finally seeing a bus coming.

I waved my hand and the bus stopped beside me. When I got on the bus, I took out money from an envelope given to me by the warden and bought a ticket. Under the curious eyes of the train, I walked to a back seat and sat down. They didn't seem to understand why there were still people who used the envelope to cover the money, but some people had guessed it based on the geographical location here because they were already whispering.

The passenger next to me was probably uneasy about the shocking scar on my face. He looked at me with a strange look and moved to the side unconsciously. His movement made me feel a little sad. Maybe he felt that I must not be a good person!

Along the way, I was silently thinking about my own thoughts, saying that I was thinking about my thoughts, but in fact, it was more appropriate to say that I was dazed, because I was more confused in my heart.

The world seems to have not changed much, it has become just myself...

The car stopped and stopped when I got off the bus station in City A. I looked around after getting off the bus, and hesitated, not knowing where I should go next!

After hesitating for a long time, I decided to go to the stone flower shop first. Before I went there, I bought a hat at a convenience store, not only to cover up my unique hairstyle, a labor camper, but also to prevent the scars on the corners of my eyebrows from being too conspicuous.

This is not because I care that people think of me, which makes me feel discriminated against, but because I can't stand the shock, curiosity and suspicion that unconsciously reveals in my eyes when others look at me, which makes me feel very uncomfortable.

In more than three years, the stone flower shop seems to be operating better and better. More than three years ago, it was just a small storefront, but now it has doubled. The adjacent store has also been rented out and the wall in the middle has been chiseled. It was originally just a small flower shop, but now it is a large-scale flower and bird shop.

Not only flowers, but also various birds and ornamental fish. Needless to say, this is naturally a by-product brought by the flower shop, but it looks quite pleasant to have birds singing and flowers.

The flower and bird shop is no longer the only one who takes care of Shi Tou’s mother, but also hires two smart little girls as helpers. This shows that the business in the shop is naturally quite good.

It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived. The store was not very busy. Shi Tou's mother sat behind the counter to settle the accounts. She didn't find me until I walked to her.

"Sir, what do you need to order?" This was the first sentence of Shi Tou's mother. She had already trained to have a very businessman temperament, and she had a smile on her face and a kind tone. But it was obvious that she did not recognize me as soon as possible.

I grinned at the corner of my mouth and said, "Sister Shi, is the business okay?"

Shi Tou's mother was slightly surprised and widened her eyes after she looked at me carefully again!

"Mr. Wei? Is it really you?" She looked at me with an incredible look and said as she turned out from the counter!

I smiled slightly: "Sister Shi, is the business okay?"

Shi Tou's mother's hands trembled slightly, and her eyes turned red in an instant! I knew that it was my thin body and face that made this kind-hearted woman feel sad. I think she must know about my affairs.

"Mr. Wei, sit down..." She was so anxious that she was at a loss. She only remembered to let me sit down after a trance, and then turned around in panic to pour water for me.

She gives

I poured a cup of tea and then calmed down a little. She sat down on the other side of the small table, and she still felt a little reluctant to look at me.

"Mr. Wei, I have heard of you, but... I can't help with anything..."

"Sister Shi, don't say that! No one can help me with such a thing, but fortunately, everything has passed! Everything in the flower shop has been fine over the years!" I changed the topic.

Shi Tou's mother sighed softly and said, "I really didn't expect that such a good person as Mr. Wei would end up like this, alas!" She sighed again and continued, "It's okay for the flower shop, but Miss Mu has been helping us. Two years ago, someone came to find fault when we saw that our business was good. Fortunately, Miss Mu came forward to solve this problem for us. Later, there was nothing happening again, and the business has always been pretty good!"

I listened quietly, and when she talked about Miss Mu, my heart couldn't help but feel a lot! It seems that she is still interested in these years...

"Shitou should be in junior high school!" I changed the topic again. I was afraid that Shitou's mother would say something about Mu Xichun. I was afraid that my heart that took a few years to calm down would cause waves again.

"Yes! Shi Tou is already in the second grade of junior high school! Speaking of which, this child will talk about you from time to time! Mr. Wei, you are resting here, Shi Tou will come back after self-study in the evening!" Shi Tou's mother said with a little expectation.

I smiled slightly and said, "No, I'm here to see if your life is okay. Since I know, I'll be at ease. As for the stone... you just tell him that I'm coming out, but don't let him see me like this!"

Shi Tou's mother's expression suddenly became sad again!

"Speaking of the fact that we can have our current life depends entirely on Mr. Wei's original help. If it weren't for you, Shitou and I would have probably returned to the countryside. How could he have the qualifications to stay here to go to middle school? You are the benefactor of our family..." She gradually couldn't continue to say it, and her face turned and wiped her tears gently.

The appearance of Shi Tou's mother made me feel a little sad, and my heart couldn't help but feel soft.

"Sister Shi doesn't have to take this matter to heart. I might as well tell you now. My life experience is actually very similar to Shi Tou. I know that it is not easy for me to come along, so I don't want Shi Tou to be like me, and I don't want you to be like my mother! I just did an insignificant thing..."

After a long time, Shi Tou's mother calmed down and said to me: "It's better not to talk about the past. Since Mr. Wei came out, he will get better in the future. Mr. Wei has helped us so much, and I have saved some money over the years. I know that Mr. Wei will start everything again now and will definitely need money, I..."

"No need for Mrs. Shi!" I knew what she was going to say next, so I interrupted her and continued.

"I'm here to see this time. I probably won't stay here anymore. As for other aspects, I will find a way to solve it!"

When Shi Tou heard this, his mother looked shocked and suspicious: "Mr. Wei is leaving? Miss Mu..."

"Sister Shi, listen to me!" I interrupted her again.

"Don't tell me about Miss Mu. Please don't tell her what I've happened. I will leave here soon! If I have the chance in the future, I will come back to see you and Shi Tou!"

Shi Tou's mother wanted to speak but stopped, and her expression seemed a little uneasy!

I could no longer sit still, and if I sat down, I was afraid that she would inevitably talk about things I didn't want to mention, so I simply stood up and said goodbye.

Shitou's mother kept sending me to the corner of the street. She seemed to be talking about something along the way, but probably because of my emotions, she finally didn't speak.
Chapter completed!
