Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Guo Xiangshui, very good! Call two more people to help them walk with me."

The young prison guard also breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone became a little friendlier. If Guo Xiangshui hadn't stood up for him, he probably wouldn't have been able to save face today.

Whether or not he receives criticism from his superiors is one thing, but if he is embarrassed in front of prisoners, it will cause him a lot of trouble in his future work.

However, Guo Xiangshui was no pushover, and the young prison guard never expected him to step forward today.

But now is not the time to study that; the most important thing is to deal with the current situation first.

"You all come with us. The rest of you, clean this place up as quickly as possible. When I return, everything must be back to normal. Understand?!"

Before the prisoners could react, the young prison guard turned and left, followed closely by the other prisoners who were helping several injured people.

The older prison guard turned around and glared at the group of prisoners, then pointed at a few of them before turning and leaving.

In the infirmary, the doctor was administering medicine to An Xiaohai, whose brows were furrowed.

The doctor's name was Liu Xuemei, around 40 years old, slightly overweight. She was the "old auntie" Xu Tianyou had mentioned. Xu Tianyou assumed Liu Xuemei was a nurse, but in reality, she was doing two jobs at once.

From the very beginning, Liu Xuemei paid special attention to An Xiaohai. She had a son who was about the same age as An Xiaohai, and An Xiaohai was very different from ordinary prisoners. He had a strong scholarly air about him.

Liu Xuemei found it strange that such a child would be locked up here. She even went to the warden to inquire about the reason why An Xiaohai was brought in. After learning about it, Liu Xuemei felt even more sorry for him.

An Xiaohai has been appearing at the infirmary far too often lately, and each time he's been badly injured. It's obvious he's been bullied badly, which makes Liu Xuemei very sad.

However, Liu Xuemei could not show all of this; she could only secretly take care of An Xiaohai to the best of her ability.

For example, exaggerate An Xiaohai's injuries to make him stay in the infirmary longer; arrange a separate room for him as much as possible, and avoid disturbing him when you have nothing to do, so as to give An Xiaohai more private space.

That's all Liu Xuemei could do.

"Xiao Mo, what exactly is going on with this prisoner?"

"Huh? Which prisoner? Sister Liu, which one are you referring to?"

Mo Qinglian, the young prison guard who escorted An Xiaohai and the others, scratched his head and asked.

"The youngest one, the one who looks like a student," Liu Xuemei pointed to An Xiaohai with her chin.

"He doesn't know!"

Mo Qinglian shook his head: "He just came from a new cell and got into a fight with Zhao De and his gang as soon as he arrived. I haven't had time to investigate the situation yet."

"So that's how it is. Zhao De and his gang are really no good!" Liu Xuemei said to An Xiaohai without making a sound.

Since Zhao De and his gang are no good, then they must be the ones bullying people.

"Sister Liu, what are you saying..."

Mo Qinglian chuckled, but he was somewhat skeptical. How many of those who had made it to the First Prison were actually good people?

As the person in charge of receiving prisoners, Mo Qinglian had seen An Xiaohai's file and had some reservations about him. Regardless of what others thought, he believed that Liu Jun was the most likely person to have been stabbed by An Xiaohai.

If that's really the case, then it means An Xiaohai isn't as innocent as he seems on the surface.

Although the Liu Jun incident is not mentioned much now, the investigation is not completely over; it has simply gone into the background. After all, the nature of this incident is quite egregious.

However, Mo Qinglian would not confront Liu Xuemei directly. Liu Xuemei's husband works in the superior authority and is a section chief of the Shenhai City Prison Administration Bureau.

Liu Xuemei was afraid of gossip, so she was very conscientious in her work and always volunteered to do everything. She was quite respected in the prison.

"Alright, Xiao Mo, get ready. I'm taking An Xiaohai to the Municipal People's Hospital for a checkup."

"No way? He can't be that badly injured, can he? Zhao De's injuries seem more serious than his!"

Mo Qinglian became somewhat nervous, partly because he might be punished if the prisoner's injuries were too serious, and partly because taking the prisoner out for medical treatment was simply too troublesome.

On the one hand, you have to keep a close eye on the prisoner to prevent him from escaping, and on the other hand, you have to be on guard against any strange people trying to get close to you. Doing this kind of thing every time can be described as a form of mental torture.

"You don't know, Xiao Mo, this isn't the first time he's been injured. In just the last few months, he's been brought here four or five times. His right hand keeps getting injured, and I'm worried that if this continues, he'll be left with a lifelong disability."

If someone is actually injured or disabled, it won't be good for anyone, right?

The clinic's facilities and equipment are limited, so it's safer to go to the city hospital for a checkup.

Xiao Mo, you are a prison guard. We all know that it is not difficult to keep an eye on these prisoners. The difficulty lies in keeping an eye on them, managing them, influencing them, reforming them, teaching them, and leading them to become new people.

That's the duty of an excellent prison guard, don't you think?

"Alright, I'll go get ready right away..."

Mo Qinglian went to prepare dejectedly. Liu Xuemei had already said so much, what else could he do? But because of this, Mo Qinglian's dislike for An Xiaohai increased even more.

This guy, he just won't stop once he arrives!

On the way to the hospital, An Xiaohai kept his head down and didn't even look up at the car window once, which made Liu Xuemei feel heartbroken again.

In Liu Xuemei's view, An Xiaohai felt a profound sense of despair, as if his heart had been broken.

An Xiaohai wasn't just putting on an act; he was constantly thinking about what to do next. Although he hadn't suffered much loss this time, this matter was definitely not going to end well.

As for the scenery outside the car window, it's just scenery; there will be plenty of opportunities to see it later.

An Xiaohai didn't have much of a feeling for this city!

"The patient's condition is a bit serious, with multiple abrasions and soft tissue contusions all over his body; the bone injury on his arm is healing well and has been handled very professionally. With a little care, he should be fine."

However, if possible, it is recommended to stay in the hospital for a few days to recuperate.

After the attending physician reported on An Xiaohai's condition, he looked at An Xiaohai curiously several times. His feeling was very similar to Liu Xuemei's; no matter how he looked at it, An Xiaohai did not seem like a vicious criminal.

"Okay, thank you, doctor!"

Liu Xuemei breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little secretly pleased.

Liu Xuemei graduated from a nursing school, not a medical school. She learned her medical skills on her own, and she worked very hard to obtain her doctor's license.

Despite this, Liu Xuemei's appointment as a prison doctor at the First Prison still sparked a lot of gossip, with people saying that she got the job because of her husband.

The doctor's words were undoubtedly an affirmation, so how could Liu Xuemei not be happy?

After returning to the First Prison, the group naturally began investigating the incident. However, as expected, the investigation yielded no real results.

Both sides in the fight said they disliked each other and didn't know how the fight started; the onlookers all said the same thing, claiming they knew nothing when asked!

Although he had expected this outcome, Mo Qinglian was still quite angry.

An Xiaohai is honest? Honest my foot! He's like a seasoned sly old fox, all he does is put on that baby face and act innocent!

The results came quickly: An Xiaohai received a major demerit and, after serving three days in the infirmary, would be placed in solitary confinement for three days. All the other people involved in the fight received demerits.

After returning to prison and spending three more days in the infirmary, An Xiaohai was taken to solitary confinement, coincidentally, the same cell as before!

When the iron door of the solitary confinement cell slammed shut, An Xiaohai plopped down on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.
