Chapter 1706
Qin Huacheng never imagined that one day he would do such exhausting physical work on the construction site, let alone that he could persist for two and a half days under extreme fatigue. If he was still in Manila, he would probably have at most one hour The effort of burning incense will be given up.But he also understands that his persistence is entirely for the purpose of survival, not that his will has really become stronger than before, but just a reaction of being forced to do so.
But the only good news is that at least the prison authorities are not too stingy in the supply of food. Although the food is simple and light, at least they can manage their fill so that the prisoners can continue to do this kind of intensive labor.Of course, from another perspective, the purpose of the prison is to squeeze the physical strength of the prisoners as much as possible, and to complete a huge workload with less labor.
Qin Huacheng was so tired that he had no energy to think about other things. He believed that other prisoners would not be any better than himself.However, from the perspective of the prison management, these prisoners who are too tired to collapse are obviously less prone to accidents and easier to manage.If anyone still has the strength to make trouble after completing such a workload, then Qin Huacheng will really admire him.
Although he had no appetite at all, Qin Huacheng forced himself to finish his lunch, otherwise he might not wait for the afternoon work to start, and would faint due to insufficient calorie supplements.Qin Huacheng really wanted to beg the guard again, asking him to change to a slightly easier position, otherwise he might have to be carried back to the hard labor camp after his work in the afternoon.
But when Qin Huacheng was still thinking about what to say, the guard had already taken the initiative to find him and asked him to follow him.Although Qin Huacheng didn't understand what he meant, but seeing the other person's expression, there was nothing unusual, so he quickly struggled to get up from the ground, patted the dust off his buttocks, and followed behind the guard.
Qin Huacheng followed the guard a hundred meters away, and he had already left the construction site. Just when he wanted to ask what happened, he saw a group of fully armed soldiers in front of him, and the man surrounded by them was dressed in the same clothes. He knew at a glance that he was a high-ranking Haihan official—just like the few high-ranking Haihan officials he had met in Manila.
Sure enough, the guard leading the way bowed down and quickened his pace, but when he was at least two feet away from the senior official, he was stopped by the armed guards.Seeing this, Qin Huacheng quickly stopped in his tracks and stood aside.
The high-ranking Haihan official surrounded by armed guards was none other than Tan Juren, the local civil affairs chief.And the reason why he came to the front construction site was not to summon Qin Huacheng specifically, but during the inspection of the project, he heard that Qin Huacheng had persuaded several emotional Spanish prisoners in the hard labor camp the day before, so he stopped by to meet this alleged A prisoner in the vigilante for a few days in Manila.
After Tan Juren had a brief conversation with the guard, he asked Qin Huacheng to come forward and answer.Although Qin Huacheng didn't know why the high-ranking official had summoned him, he had a vague premonition that it was definitely not a bad thing, and that it was most likely a chance for him to turn around, so he knelt down on the ground decisively, assuming a posture of surrender and waiting for orders.
Qin Huacheng's initiative to show weakness made Tan Juren feel quite comfortable. One of his principles of employing people is to be sensible and obedient. The ability may not be so strong, but he must obey the arrangement instructions, and this Qin Huacheng seems to be this kind of person .
"Qin Huacheng, I've seen your file. Since you live in Manila, you should be able to speak Spanish, right?" Tan Juren didn't ask Qin Huacheng to stand up and answer. After all, this guy's current status is just a lowly prisoner, not his own. As a subordinate, there is no need to pay him too much attention.
Qin Huacheng lay on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at Tan Juren. Hearing this, he quickly responded, "Looking back at the chief, the villain can listen and speak, so it's easy to communicate with Westerners."
Tan Juren said: "Okay, from now on, you will be responsible as an interpreter in the hard labor camp, and someone will assign you specific tasks. If you do well, your life will be easier in the future. If you don't do well, then come back and continue doing hard labor." ,understand?"
Qin Huacheng was overjoyed, and quickly responded, "Thank you, Chief!"
Tan Juren didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he waved his hand to signal the guards to take Qin Huacheng away.He was willing to give this prisoner a chance to prove himself, but he would not waste too much time on it, as long as he decided on a candidate.As for whether this person is competent in the follow-up, there will naturally be a follow-up report from the labor camp.If he is still acting out of order like the few Han prisoners who were selected before, then he should be driven back to the construction site to dig mud.
"Stop kneeling, get up, the chiefs are gone!" Seeing Qin Huacheng kneeling on the ground for a long time without getting up, the guard went to pat him on the back and told him to get up quickly.
Qin Huacheng turned his head slowly, looked at the guard with pain on his face, and said, "Sir, help me, my legs are cramped and I can't stand up..."
No matter how miserable he was at this time, Qin Huacheng still had the luck to envy others, because the second day after he entered the hard labor camp to serve his sentence, he was selected by senior officials of Haihan to do a relatively easy job such as translation.And once he has a mission, he is equivalent to having an extra asylum from the government, and his life will definitely be better than now.
The appointment personally issued by Tan Juren had an immediate effect. When Qin Huacheng returned to the construction site, he was told by the guard that he could no longer do the morning work, but was immediately assigned to another place to direct and work with the guard. Overseeing the labor of a team of Spanish prisoners.
Qin Huacheng's task is very simple, that is, to translate the guard's orders into Spanish and convey them to these prisoners, and instruct them to work on the construction site.To him, this is actually just talking about it, and it is a hundred times easier than the previous labor.Qin Huacheng couldn't help sighing secretly that this might just be a lucky turn of events. After he was extremely unlucky, his luck finally turned for the better.
At present, there are more than 100 Hispanic prisoners on this construction site, and they are divided into several teams to participate in the labor, and Qin Huacheng is the only one who acts as an interpreter in the middle.Before he received this task, the main way for the guards to communicate with the Hispanic prisoners was sticks, and conflicts often occurred due to poor communication between the two parties.Although the Hispanic prisoners tried to make trouble several times, they all ended in failure. In the process, several Hispanic prisoners were beaten to death by the guards during the suppression.
Qin Huacheng's task is to stabilize the emotions of these Hispanic prisoners and avoid violent conflicts due to poor communication. Soon he found that he could try to explain the point management system of the prison to the Hispanic prisoners in order to help them better. Understand and abide by the arrangements of the prison authorities.Of course, Qin Huacheng himself didn't know much about this system. During the process of explaining, he also deepened his understanding of this system, and he really felt the advanced nature of Haihan's prisoner management system.
When he finished work and returned to the hard labor camp at night, he found that the way the prison chief Lin Xingsui looked at him had also changed.Lin Xingsui inquired carefully about the process of his appointment, and at the end he couldn't help sighing: "Brother, you are really lucky. I think I worked hard for three months before I finally got the attention of the warden. You It’s much better than me to receive such a good job in two days, and the senior officials on the island personally appoint it.”
Qin Huacheng hurriedly said a few words politely, saying that it was thanks to Lord Lin for taking care of You Jiayun.Although he was promoted by a high-ranking official in Haihan today, he didn't dare to get carried away with it, and he didn't want to let the cell boss feel that once he gained power, he would put on airs.And Lin Xingsui's purpose is naturally to further win the relationship. He doesn't know whether there are other reasons why the high-ranking officials of Haihan have a crush on Qin Huacheng. He is a privileged class, even a class higher than himself - at least he doesn't have to suffer so much during labor.
Lin Xingsui knew that he could not do Qin Huacheng's errand, and there was no conflict of interest between the two of them, so he maintained his personal relationship first, and maybe he would turn to Qin Huacheng for help in the future.And Qin Huacheng's humble attitude also made Lin Xingsui very pleased, thinking that he had received what he deserved for taking care of him these two days.
Lin Xingsui immediately struck while the iron was hot, instilling his own values into Qin Huacheng, saying that everyone is a person in trouble, and since they are destined to meet in this prison, they should try their best to take care of each other and tide over the difficulties together.
Qin Huacheng nodded and said yes while listening, if someone said such things to him before his accident, he would probably show his face to the other party on the spot, but now after going through a lot of hardships, Qin Huacheng also understands that his ability is limited, If you still act on your own as before, you will stumble sooner or later.Although this Lin Xingsui doesn't have any outstanding abilities, he came in earlier than him anyway. He must know much more about the situation in this hard labor camp, especially the relationship between the prisoners and the prison, so he still needs to be respectful. Don't offend the other party easily.
After breakfast the next day, Qin Huacheng was called out by the guards because the warden wanted to see him.Qin Huacheng knew that this treatment was mostly related to the appointment he received yesterday, so he didn't feel too surprised at the moment.
Qin Bodu, the warden of the Second Battalion of Hard Labor, was an official transferred from Haihan. In his early years, he also worked as a prison guard under the current director of the Haihan Police Department, Ren Liang. Bodu signed up for the chance to be promoted to an official.After working in the Indochina Peninsula for more than a year, he was transferred to Xingdao and was appointed as the warden of the Second Hard Labor Battalion.
Qin Bodu came to Xingdao almost at the same time as Tan Juren. As soon as he took office, Luo Jie handed over the jurisdiction of the hard labor camp to Tan Juren, so for Qin Bodu, Tan Juren was regarded as his immediate boss.
Tan Juren wanted to promote the new management system in the hard labor camps, improve the labor efficiency of the prisoners through scientific management and reasonable arrangements, and reduce the frequency of security incidents in the hard labor camps. Qin Bodu fully cooperated, even if there were some problems in the implementation process. He still insisted on following Tan Juren's instructions for the stumbling and small troubles.Qin Bodu didn't want to use this to flatter his boss, but he really believed that if Tan Juren's system could be implemented properly, the expected management goals could be achieved.
However, after the Battle of Manila, the batches of Spanish prisoners of war brought a lot of trouble to Qin Bodu's management. His hard labor camp was not equipped with Spanish translators, and the language barrier caused many problems. Necessary trouble and conflict.The few Chinese prisoners who were selected before and knew Spanish either had limited skills and were unable to communicate with the Spanish prisoners orally, or they had crooked brains and expected to use this position for their own personal gain as soon as they came up.These people were fired by Qin Bodu within a few days. It was not until yesterday that he heard the guard report that Tan Juren personally appointed a new prisoner as a Spanish translator.
Since the candidate was personally selected by the boss, Qin Bodu couldn't ignore it, so he summoned Qin Huacheng early in the morning to meet this lucky guy with the same surname as himself.
However, Qin Bodu's first impression of Qin Huacheng could only be described as mediocre. This prisoner looked no different from the other hundreds of prisoners in the Second Hard Labor Battalion. His face was sallow and his eyes were slightly swollen. Standing up straight but looking exhausted.If there was anything special about it, it would probably be that there was a trace of stubbornness in Qin Huacheng's eyes.Qin Bodu had actually felt this kind of aura from many people, and these people had one thing in common with Qin Huacheng, that is, they had just arrived in Xingdao, and the edges and corners of their bodies had not yet been smoothed.
For this kind of breath, Qin Bodu can't say that he admires or dislikes it. He has seen too many people here become machines that can only obey orders, and most of those who don't want to submit are lying in hard labor. In the cemetery opposite the gate of the camp.If this Qin Huacheng hadn't been lucky enough to be picked by his boss, then what awaited him was nothing more than these two endings, either to live on with his edges smoothed out, or to die here in obscurity.
"The hard labor camp does not support idlers, but if you are really capable, even in the hard labor camp, you can live a better life than most people." Qin Bodu's opening remarks are very straightforward: "Since you are selected by the chief I will give you a chance to perform. But if your performance disappoints me, then all the preferential treatment you get will be withdrawn immediately, and I will let you go back to the construction site to work with other prisoners, you understand Yet?"
Qin Huacheng had already heard similar words when he was interviewed by Tan Juren yesterday, but Tan Juren said it more implicitly, but when he said it from Qin Bodu, the warden, it seemed more straightforward and impactful.
