Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

An Xiaohai didn't speak, glanced at Guo Xiangshui, and then lowered his head.

At times like these, one must be extra careful. Although this is the outcome An Xiaohai most desires, he cannot agree too quickly, otherwise all his previous efforts will be in vain.

Guo Xiangshui was a cunning old fox; he knew all too well the intricacies of the situation. He walked over with a smile and sat down next to An Xiaohai, appearing extremely intimate.

"Ah Hai, let's all back down. This fuss isn't going to work; it's not good for anyone."

When you weren't here, Mo Guanjiao said that if something like this happens again on the 27th, everyone, including him, will be in trouble.

"Just to give me, Ah Shui, some face, let's leave it at that, okay?"

"It's not that I'm not giving you face, Brother Shui, I've already said that I just want to go to jail quietly. They started this trouble first."

"You can't blame them. The bunk you slept in belonged to A-Qiang. A-Qiang and A-De were good brothers. Of course A-De is sad that A-Qiang is gone. You have to be loyal to your friends!"

Guo Xiangshui put his arm around An Xiaohai's shoulder and tried to persuade him, looking just like a caring older brother.

"So, the extra sentence I received for this is just going to be forgivable?"

"Of course we'll let him have it. What else can we do? We can't expect Ade to pay you back. Besides, you beat him up like that. As a leader, doesn't he have any pride? He also got an extra sentence."

Alright, alright, let's all compromise and let's just let this go. Let's give him face, give me face, and give everyone face, okay?

"Ade, what do you think? Say something. If it really doesn't work out, let Ahai sleep in my bed and I'll sleep on the floor. That way you'll save face, okay?"

Zhao De didn't say anything, but simply avoided An Xiaohai and Guo Xiangshui's gaze, clearly indicating that he was preparing to back down. However, he couldn't speak even if he wanted to; his throat was still swollen.

"Alright, alright, what's the big deal? It's better to be amicable. Why make things worse over time? Okay, it's settled then, alright?"

An Xiaohai glanced at Guo Xiangshui, then stared at Zhao De for a long time before finally nodding.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Shui. But if they provoke me again, it'll be a fight to the death."

"Haha, let's fight to the death!"

Listen to that, those who have been to school are different! All we know is to say things like "fuck you and kill you," you hear? That's it for now, you guys should learn more from Ah Hai in the future.

Being uncultured is terrifying!

That's all for now. Harmony brings wealth, everyone take a rest!

Guo Xiangshui chuckled and left, finally easing the tense atmosphere in cell number 27.

An Xiaohai didn't say anything more. After giving Peng Yuangui a look, he lay down on the bed to rest. It had been almost a month since he had been through all this, and this was the first time An Xiaohai had ever lain down on this bed.

That night, cell number 27 was unusually quiet.

It's clear to everyone that whether An Xiaohai and Zhao De's group have truly reached a truce depends on what happens tonight.

An Xiaohai barely slept a wink all night. It wasn't because he was afraid of Zhao De's retaliation; on the contrary, An Xiaohai was certain that Zhao De wouldn't bother him for a while, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Guo Xiangshui to act as a peacemaker.

It has long been determined that this prison cannot accommodate kind people.

Guo Xiangshui, who has influence in cell number 27, is unlikely to be a kind person. His role as peacemaker is certainly not for the reasons he claims.

Either he was acting out of self-interest and didn't want to be implicated; or Zhao De's group asked him to step in; or it's even quite possible that he was the one who secretly instigated it from the very beginning.

Everything is possible!

However, since Guo Xiangshui has spoken, if Zhao De still tries to deal with him, it would be disrespectful to Guo Xiangshui. Therefore, Zhao De and his group will most likely keep quiet for a while.

An Xiaohai was tossing and turning in bed because a lot of strange and unusual ideas suddenly popped into his head.

What does it feel like after death? Is it possible for everyone to have a chance to be reborn, like him...?

The Lunar New Year is almost here, and Lin Xuan'er should be on winter break now. I wonder if she'll come to visit me in prison next month?

No, I have to remind Mom that it's best not to let her know about the extended sentence...

------

Life seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, which was exactly what An Xiaohai had hoped for, but An Xiaohai suddenly felt a strange sense of boredom.

At this moment, An Xiaohai suddenly understood why prisoners in jail would occasionally cause trouble and were so easily ignited by their emotions.

Whatever unexpected situation occurs, it's like throwing a pebble into a stagnant pool, adding a touch of spice to the monotonous prison life.

Therefore, everyone here, to a greater or lesser extent, hopes for an unexpected event to occur.

An Xiaohai continued living his life without making a sound, but his vigilance only increased.

This vigilance wasn't directed at Zhao De, but at Gui Liu. From the beginning until now, Gui Liu's group had been unusually quiet, almost abnormally so.

Just like before in cell 232, the prisoners in cell 27 were intentionally or unintentionally avoiding An Xiaohai. Only Peng Yuangui followed An Xiaohai almost everywhere except when he was working or sleeping.

An Xiaohai was actually very curious as to why money was so tempting to Peng Yuangui, to the point that he was willing to go against a group of desperate criminals in prison for money.

However, An Xiaohai refrained from asking any questions.

Everyone has their own difficulties; the more you know, the more troubles you'll have!

"Peng Yuangui, are you in a hurry for the money? If you are in a hurry, I can try to have a friend outside send it to your family."

During the meal, An Xiaohai asked in a low voice.

"No rush," Peng Yuangui shook his head, then pointed to his head: "I have something growing here, it's very dangerous, I might lose my life at any time."

"You need so much money just to get treatment? Can you get cured? How much will it cost in total?" An Xiaohai thought Peng Yuangui was working so hard for his family, but he didn't expect it was for himself.

"They say it can be cured, and it's not too expensive. The surgery will cost 20,000 yuan in total."

I'm not going to get treatment anymore, I'll just let it be!

The doctor said the surgery was very risky, and he might not survive. I don't need the money for that; I just want to earn more to leave for my son. I can't just leave him nothing when he's gone.

It turns out it was all for her son.

After learning the truth, An Xiaohai had mixed feelings. To Peng Yuangui, it was fatherly love, but to the victims, it was a disaster!

"You owe me a total of 15,000 yuan. Remember to pay me back when you get out!" Peng Yuangui's mouth was full of food, and his voice was somewhat slurred.

"Fifteen thousand? You took care of Wu Guanhai?"

"Yes, hehe! Last month when I was working, I smashed his kneecap with a rock; he probably won't be able to stand up again. If he recovers, I promise I'll smash it again. Anyway, I'll make sure your money is well spent!"

"Is this why you ended up in Area A?"

"Yes, they added extra punishment."

"How long did it take?"

"Two years," Peng Yuangui held up two fingers.

An Xiaohai suddenly felt a little uneasy. He had almost forgotten about this matter, but he didn't expect Peng Yuangui to have remembered it and actually carried it out.

"An Xiaohai, your family has come to see you. Go and meet them after you finish eating!"

An Xiaohai was about to say something when Mo Qinglian walked over, tapped the table, and said...

So An Xiaohai didn't bother asking any more questions, quickly finished his meal, and got up to leave.

An Xiaohai was worried that something might have happened since his family came at this time.
