Chapter 181 No. 19 is sick
Working night shifts is quite painful because you don't have time to catch up on sleep during the day.
Moreover, if something happens while you are on duty, you may be held responsible.
He Shu stood on the ground, looking at the people on the big bed and on the ground.
We have become familiar with each other these days, but there are still many people we have never spoken to.
The No. 6 in the red vest had his arm swollen for several days after being punished last time. He has been much more obedient recently.
But when he sleeps, he still takes up the most space.
The next ones are the two yellow vests. He Shu has always been skeptical about what No. 24 said.
If these two people really had infectious diseases, why were they locked up together with them?
Aren’t the people in the detention center afraid that they will infect other prisoners?
But it is true that they are sick, because they have a fixed time to take medicine every day.
But the medicines were unpacked and I didn’t know what they were.
After these days, He Shu has gained some understanding of the layout of the Mengmao detention center.
There are not only prisoners like them here, but also detoxification personnel and the women's prison area, which are separated from them by a wall.
I heard that there are just as many people in the women's prison as here, and there are also many people who have been forced in for drug rehabilitation.
No. 24 told He Shu about the drug rehabilitation center and said it was like hell.
He Shu thought he had been in prison on the 24th, but he smiled and said that he had heard it from others. If one had really been addicted to drugs, there was basically no possibility of quitting.
While he was daydreaming, He Shu suddenly saw a man in a yellow vest lying at the innermost wall crawling up.
He was just about to go over and ask him what he was doing, when he saw him fall headfirst from the bunk to the ground, and then he kept twitching and making gurgling sounds in his throat.
He Shu hurried over, and the man in the yellow vest, with a painful look on his face, grabbed He Shu's ankle.
His body kept twisting and his legs were kicking desperately.
"Number 19, what's wrong with you?"
He Shu was frightened and tried hard to pull his foot out, but No. 19 held it tightly.
This No. 19 was the one who stole their chicken legs. He grabbed He Shu’s feet tightly and moved his head towards He Shu.
He Shu struggled hard for a few times and felt like his ankle was about to be broken. He didn't know where No. 19 got so much strength.
He didn't dare to kick the other person hard, so he could only shout: "Report, someone is sick."
This place was too far from the doorbell, and He Shu's shout woke up everyone sleeping on the big bunk.
No. 24 opened his eyes in a daze and saw it. He quickly jumped off the bunk bed and ran to the door to ring the bell.
On the way, he stepped on a person who was sleeping in the aisle, making the other person scream.
The room became chaotic, and a few old staff members who knew the rules yelled at everyone else not to move.
Soon, the supervisor came and asked them to sit back on the big bunk before opening the door.
No. 19’s struggle had weakened a lot. His face had turned purple and pink-white foam was oozing from the corners of his mouth.
But he held He Shu's hand tightly and refused to let go.
Two guards tried to pry his fingers apart, and He Shu was finally rescued. Then the guards drove him to the big bed and told him not to move.
As No. 19 was being carried away, someone came to give them a lecture, asking them to behave themselves, and then He Shu was also called out for questioning.
He Shu is not the only one on duty tonight. There are two or three people on duty every night.
When He Shu was entangled, the other person on duty dozed off against the wall and was not awakened until He Shu shouted.
So he failed in his duty because he did not ring the bell in time, which almost caused confusion in the room numbers.
In this way, He Shu and another person on duty were punished. They were forced to stand facing the wall and recite manuals. When others were out for exercise, they mopped the floor in the corridor under the supervision of the cadres...
He Shu's ankle was scratched by No. 19's nail. He reported it to the detention center staff, who applied some iodine to disinfect it but did not take him for testing.
No. 24 has been afraid that he might be infected, because he firmly believes that No. 19 and No. 11 are both HIV carriers, and he has been afraid to get too close to him recently.
He Shu could understand, he was also very scared. The person No. 19 did not come back, and the supervisor did not allow the matter to be discussed.
After two days of worrying, Tang Shen finally came to "interrogate" him again.
In the private meeting room outside, He Shu rolled up his trouser legs to show Tang Can.
The skin on the ankle was broken by the pinch, and scabs formed. There are still two bruises that have not faded, which shows how strong No. 19's grip was at that time.
"Brother Tang, do I need to get tested? What if I'm infected?"
Tang Shen frowned: "Who told you there is an AIDS patient in the cell?"
"That's what No. 24 said. He said No. 11 and No. 19 are the same. No one else uses anything they touch, and everyone keeps a distance from them..."
"Nonsense, patients with infectious diseases will not be locked up with ordinary prisoners. Those two people are not infectious."
He Shu felt relieved : "Really?"
"Can I still lie to you? Don't worry, it's okay."
Tang Can looked at He Shu's ankle. The white skin was very obviously pinched, and he couldn't help but frown even more tightly.
He Shu is as fair as a little girl. It’s already a big worry for the eldest brother to send a child like this here.
He shook his head and took out another plastic bag from under the table.
There are hamburgers, drinks, and some other snacks and fruits.
"You young people like to eat these things, right?"
He Shu took a look and said, "Thank you, Brother Tang, but I still won't eat it. Last time I went back, someone smelled the meat."
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about them. Just eat when you need to."
Tang Shen took out the things one by one. Seeing this, He Shu had no choice but to thank him, then picked up a hamburger and took a big bite.
Tang Can watched He Shu eat quietly from the side, his clothes still the same as when he first came in.
"Later, I'll send you some clothes and say they were sent by your friend."
He Shu nodded and immersed himself in the food.
Tang Can felt unhappy and asked again, "Have you spent all your money? I'll deposit some more for you later."
"No, there are still a lot. I didn't buy anything. I bought some food for brother No. 24 and bought some daily necessities for myself."
He Shu swallowed a big mouthful and answered quickly.
"Eat slowly, there's no rush."
He Shu smiled and nodded. He didn't like these foods much in the past and never bought them himself.
He Shu actually thought the hamburger that Brother Tang Shen brought was super delicious. He didn't know if it was because the food inside was so bad that it had no taste in his mouth.
While eating, he looked at Tang Can. This time, Tang Can was wearing a police uniform: black pants, a green short-sleeved shirt with epaulettes but no badge.
"Brother Tang, what is your status here?"
Tang Shen also took a French fry from the bag and chewed it slowly: "I work as a policeman at the police station nearby..."
Policeman, that's the job in public. He Shu hesitated for a moment: "Then do you know my aunt?"
"I don't know him." Tang Can answered straightforwardly.
He Shu blinked twice and chewed more slowly...
