Chapter 20: Escaping from Prison (Part 2)

  Li Tianyuan dropped out of school after finishing elementary school and started hanging out with people in society at the age of 11 or 12, which can be considered as having been through a hundred battles. He also thought he was reckless and fearless. Growing up like this, he never put anyone in his eyes before, always thinking that he was the number one and others were secondary to him.

  However, even though he was so unruly, Li Tianyuan never had the idea of escaping from prison after being locked up in a juvenile detention center, not even thinking about it.

  Firstly, Li Tianyuan's sentence was not very long, only a short three years, and he could get through it with perseverance. Secondly, for the national law enforcement agencies, he still had some fear in his heart. He might not be afraid of a particular person, but when facing a country, not everyone has the courage to confront it.

  But today, Qin Feng's actions overturned Li Tianyuan's understanding of this world.

  He couldn't imagine that Qin Feng, who used to be timid and even a bit cowardly, would dare to escape from prison, and the method of escape was simply unbelievable, and he actually escaped from the cell so easily.

  Li Tianyuan had been in the juvenile detention center for a year and a half, although he hadn't deliberately observed the guard situation, but he also knew that at this time period, it would be the most relaxed defense of the entire juvenile detention center, which means Qin Feng has a great possibility to escape from this prison.

  "Are you going?"

  Looking at the gap strangled by Qin Feng with a bed sheet, Li Tianyuan hesitated for a moment. Although life in the detention center was not difficult with food and drink, once outside, it might be a vast sky and boundless sea, that kind of freedom... was still very attractive to Li Tianyuan.

  He lifted his head and took a look at the lights on the armed police post, and Li Tianyuan finally gave up the idea.

  Although he claimed to be brave, there was once a time when he got into a group fight and got his eyes red, but when the armed police stopped him, he still wanted to fight back. However, he was kicked by the other party and couldn't get up for half a day. So, he still has psychological shadows on those wearing armed police uniforms.

  "Should I expose Qin Feng? If I can stop him from escaping, then...my sentence will be reduced."

  Although the labor camp was not like a prison, it often emphasized that prisoners should inform on each other and prevent escapes, which would be considered a great achievement. However, Li Tianwei believed that if he shouted loudly at this moment, it was very likely that his remaining one-and-a-half-year sentence would be commuted.

  This temptation was undoubtedly very strong for a boy who had just turned sixteen, Li Tianyuan's face became gloomy and uncertain, he wanted to shout loudly at the window several times, but his lips moved for a long time without making any sound.

  In Li Tianyuan's mind, if he reported Qin Feng, then in the hearts of these young people in the cell, there would be no credibility at all, and they wouldn't deserve to be their leader. Li Tianyuan, who aspired to make a name for himself in the world and gain respect from others, was unwilling to be ridiculed by others under any circumstances.

  Of course, this is also because Li Tianyuan was too young. If he were five or six years older and had experienced more of the world's joys and sorrows, he would have probably spoken out at the first opportunity.

  Laying back on his bed, Li Tianyuan could no longer close his eyes, tossing and turning restlessly, for him, this was going to be a sleepless night.

  －－－－－－－－－－－－－

  Qin Feng may not know that his actions today would cause Li Tianyuan such great trouble, but even if he did know, Qin Feng wouldn't care because he was about to escape from this prison and regain his freedom.

  After drilling out of the window, Qin Feng stuck to the wall root of the cell, using the shadow there to cover his figure, and quickly moved to the northeast corner of the playground. Then he stood still in the darkness, his eyes fixed on the brightly lit sentry box above.

  After several months of observation, Qin Feng knew that the armed police's shift change time was two hours per class. From 8 pm to 2 am at night, this time period was the most frequent activity time for the sentries. Their figures would appear on the sentry post at any time, and there was no regularity. It was almost impossible to escape during that time.

  However, after two o'clock, the frequency of the sentries' movements decreased significantly. This was also when people were most tired, and the sentries were no exception. Sometimes, an entire shift would not see them patrolling their posts.

  Qin Feng chose a time that was an hour after the shift change of this sentry, and after observing for a month, he still didn't see the sentry come out at this time. However, to be on the safe side, Qin Feng still stopped under the barbed wire for quite a while.

  No signs of any sound coming from the sentry post, Qin Feng took a deep breath, grasped the iron wire mesh with both hands and slowly climbed up. The iron wire mesh was only over two meters high, even if he went slower, after one minute, Qin Feng's body had already appeared in that vegetable field.

  This vegetable field and playground are isolated, but connected to the management area. The long row of houses on the west side of the vegetable field is where the guards live in dormitories. Some former prison staff also live there, separated only by a armed police sentry post, which they cannot enter.

  Qin Feng didn't think of escaping from that side, not to mention the thick iron gate there, even if he could get past the two police guards at the entrance, he wouldn't be able to make it. He had initially planned to climb over the wall without electric fencing, and a five-meter high wall was not impossible to cross.

  "As long as I get past this wall, the sky will be vast and I can leap freely!"

  Looking at the five-meter-high wall, Qin Feng couldn't help but feel excited, his feet took two steps forward, he wanted to find a suitable position for a running start.

  "Bang!"

  A faint sound came from under Qin Feng's feet. Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely jarring in this quiet and deep night.

  This sudden sound scared Qin Feng's face pale, fortunately he reacted quickly, his body shrunk and hid beside a pile of dry farm tools against the wall.

  "Heaven forbid, don't provoke those armed police!"

  Qin Feng crouched against the wall, so tense that he even held his breath. He had spent a month planning this escape, and Qin Feng knew that if he was discovered, he would never have another chance, and might even be sent to an even more heavily guarded prison.

  It seemed as if the heavens had heard Qin Feng's prayers, and this time they were on his side. For over ten minutes, there was not a sound from the nearby sentry post, which allowed Qin Feng to let out a long sigh of relief, slowly relaxing his tense body.

  Carefully looking down at his feet, making sure there were no more scattered watering cans on the ground, Qin Feng leaned back against the iron wire mesh, gazing at the nearly five-meter-high prison wall ten meters away.

  Taking a deep breath, Qin Feng's relaxed body suddenly tensed up, his toes pointed to the ground, and he quickly sprinted forward. When his body was still over a meter away from the surrounding wall, his left foot forcefully pushed off the ground, and his body instantly took to the air.

  Ye Tian's jump wasn't very high, his feet were only one meter two three away from the ground, but suddenly his right foot stepped on a hoe leaning against the wall, and with a "pa" sound, the hoe was kicked over, and at the same time, Qin Feng's body rose more than a meter higher.

  At this time, Qin Feng was too busy to think about whether the voice would bring out the armed police. He was in a state of excitement at this moment, and his thinking and reaction ability were completely consistent with his body.

  Just as Qin Feng's feet were about 2.4 meters away from the ground, and his body's upward force had reached its peak, the toe of his left foot arched slightly and lightly touched the wall.

  This move seemed to use not much force, but it was a clever trick. Relying on this, Qin Feng's body rose by nearly thirty centimeters. It was these crucial thirty centimeters that, added to Qin Feng's height and the length of his arms, allowed his ten fingers to barely grasp the top of the wall.

  As soon as his fingers touched that plane, Qin Feng's body almost didn't stop at all. His hands flipped and pushed one after another, lightly and agilely like a monkey, flipping over the wall and sliding to the other side of the high wall.

  From the time of the sentry's shift change and patrol habits, to the height of the wall and the hoe placed there for nearly half a month, Qin Feng had gone through careful calculations, just as he had expected, and finally escaped successfully.

  "It's out, I...I escaped!"

  Looking at the flat road outside the wall and the low houses in the distance, Qin Feng's heart was surging with excitement. Although everything was within his calculations, such a smooth escape still made Qin Feng extremely excited.

  "Damn, my legs are weak?" Just as Qin Feng was about to sneak into the darkness of night, his feet suddenly softened and he stumbled, almost falling to the ground, a wry smile spreading across his face.

  To know, from breaking open the window to escape from the cell, to climbing over the barbed wire and crawling over the wall, Qin Feng's nerves were undoubtedly stretched to the limit, and finally crossing the wall, he made a full effort, fully releasing his potential.

  So at this moment, Qin Feng could only try his best to calm down and rest for a while, fortunately he was already outside the wall, even if the sentry came out, they wouldn't be able to find him.

  After gasping for about four or five minutes, Qin Feng felt his strength gradually recovering. Just as he was about to escape from here, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder and an old voice rang in his ear, "Young man, it's so cold outside, and it's the middle of the night, where are you going?"

  Although the voice was not loud, it scared Qin Feng so much that his whole body broke out in goosebumps, a chill rose from his heart, and he trembled with his lips to utter a few words: "Ghost... ghost?"

  It's fortunate that Qin Feng has a strong psychological quality. If it were someone else, they might have been scared stiff on the spot.

  However, Qin Feng's state was also not good. That small face was scared to the point of being pale, and his knees went soft, almost falling to the ground.

  A cold laughter came from behind Qin Feng, and that hoarse voice sounded again, "You're right, I'm a ghost. You killed me not long ago, and now I've come back to take revenge on you, boy! Hand over your life!"

  "What's going on here?"

  Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat, because just as the man was speaking, he noticed by the moonlight that beside his own shadow, there was another shadow. His courage suddenly grew, according to what old people said, ghosts don't have shadows.
