[The Shawshank Redemption] Converted

Chapter 17

Architects know the history of art like the back of their hands, which can be said to be the basic skills of a professional background.But I can accurately know that Byron loves Impressionism from the bottom of his heart, except for Andy.

After all, colleagues in the design office had no time to listen to many words, and the subordinates in the prison were even more confused and confused. Only Andy made him feel that he was not alone in his groping forward.

Turning the task book to the last page, looking at the five-figure remuneration, Byron raised his lips and muttered to himself: "As expected of a famous banker..."

The boldness of the shot is even worse than that of Mr. Weber.Through iron bars, he can still strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away. With this kind of ability, the latter will also be willing to bow down.

When the two signed the contract and shook hands to say goodbye, Byron stared into each other's eyes and said softly, "Say thank you to Dufresne for me."

Byron Hadley went home and changed his outfit, and then wandered around Shawshank as the captain of the prison guard. Before he knew it, the two-story building of the library with pale walls came into view.

He stood by the window, quietly being an auditor, looking at the slender hand, holding the chalk, writing lines of neat and concise writing on the blackboard.

The slender and tall figure who talked eloquently was reflected in his eyes, and Byron thought silently: "If I had such a math teacher when I was in high school, I wouldn't have to do calculus and linear algebra later. Fly by, almost rebuild'

Shaking his head, Captain Hadley left the tragic memories of his college days behind him, and turned back to the office to deal with the drawings.

Binding the sorted materials together, Byron pulled out the recent Washington Post from the shelf on the right hand side, browsed through it, and harvested two useful pieces of information.

First, the Anglo-French occupied area of ​​Berlin was announced to be merged with the United States. So far, the confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States has taken shape, and the horn of Germany's wall and rule is about to sound.

Second, Dewey of New York State, who did not know who listened to the slander, even clamored to provide large-scale military aid to the retreating Nanjing side after the election was successful.

This move will undoubtedly make the business giants in the New England region reconsider their election campaign positions——Dewey, who lacks the most basic sense of the situation, how can he bear the burden of being the leader of the Republican Party?

Even though he was well aware of the future of Dewey's second defeat, as long as he thought about the consequences of his successful plan, Byron shuddered: "Intervening at this time is by no means a so-called rescue, but a forcible division of the land of other countries." Poison plan'

Perhaps, many people are looking forward to letting the 5000-year-old ancient civilization have the same fate as Berlin at this moment.

Byron closed his eyes and slowly spit out the depression in his heart.

He deftly groped for the drawer, where there were letters from him and his friends—every time when he was in a bad mood, he would always take out the forget-me-not grass that he had prepared and enjoy it to relieve boredom.

And when he found that there were new replies on the letter, he immediately looked overjoyed.

As he read and read, Byron frowned involuntarily, and he slowly brushed the delicate handwriting with his fingertips, thinking to himself: "This is me, lifting a rock to shoot myself in the foot..."

After a while, he took up his pen and wrote: "This is called sin in the Bible, but who has no original sin?"If you have not hurt others and have a clear conscience, why bother to be too harsh? '

Considering that the other party, as an aboriginal, was far more devout in faith than himself, Byron borrowed the deeds of the master to add a bit of persuasiveness.

'Michelangelo also gave homosexual poems, but if he was said to be blasphemous, where would he put those unparalleled dome paintings of the Madonna and Child? '

Byron originally chose religious paintings as a means of propaganda in prisons, not to strengthen the "homophobia" of society.

Therefore, he rejected his friends without hesitation—this part of the scriptures, like the cruel means of dealing with foreign heresies, did not become necessary for widespread advertisement in paintings.

His soul comes from the 21st century. He can understand the conservativeness of the world at this time, but he is unwilling to agree with him, let alone fan the flames.

After recovering from the shock and annoyance at the beginning, Byron felt that his tone was a bit too harsh, and quickly added: "I definitely don't mean to accuse you, but it is really biased to regard these things as heinous sins... Words Excessive, hope you understand'

Captain Hadley, who was in a calm mood, folded the letter and walked to the door of the mail room.

Just as he was about to call in Waley to help him see him off later, he heard Trout, who was taking a break from work, chatting happily inside: "...Waley, you enjoy a leisurely life when you sit in the office, unlike me, who always Going on a business trip with the construction team..."

"Trout, I want to change with you, at least, I can run somewhere else... On my side, it will always be two o'clock and one line, sending letters to the captain and the library...

Really, when I was chasing Ellie, I wasn't like this...God knows, why do they have so much to say, they all seem to be taciturn..."

Ellie is Trout's younger sister and will soon become Willie's wife. The fate of the two is also thanks to the talkative and sister-in-law's brother-in-law, who inadvertently bridges the gap.

He does not mean that.

Originally intending to go in and scare the two subordinates who were not doing business and chatting, Byron paused when he heard this, staring at the letter paper in his hand thoughtfully.

Andy held the envelope sent by the prison guard, and was about to open it, but hesitated because of the worries in his heart. After a while, he finally settled down and slowly pulled out the "judgment" on his fate.

After reading it word by word, the banker exhausted all his strength to prevent himself from laughing out loud in the silence of the prison cell.

He gently wiped away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes, and was delighted by Captain Hadley's reply under the temptation, which was the best answer he could imagine.

"Nothomosexual, buthomophilia. This is greatenough. (He is not gay, but he cares and supports, and that is enough)"

That night, Byron finished telling his son a bedtime story and asked, "Archie, would you...would you want a mother?"

The fat cub, who was already a little sleepy, yawned halfway, and looked at his father with tears in his eyes: "Well, is my father very busy and wants someone to take care of me, like Auntie Anne in Tony's family?"

As he spoke, he shook his little hand, grabbed Byron's clothes, and expressed his reluctance to his father with his movements—Tony told him that he hadn't seen his father for a long time since he had an aunt at home. .

"No, Archie, Aunt Annie is the nanny. Mom doesn't take care of you dressing and eating, but a relative who can... accompany you to grow up, just like Dad"

These words did not know where Archie's tears came from. He straightened his neck and widened his eyes, trying not to let the swirling drops of water fall.

With two fat claws clasped on Byron's chin, he kept saying, "Don't! Don't! No one is like Dad! Dad, don't give me away! I just want Dad! Don't want Mom!"

Hurrying to pick up the fat son who was irritated by him, Byron shook it like pushing a cradle, while assuring: "Dad didn't mean that, no one can take Archie away.

But, look at Tony and the others. Most families have a father and a mother. Do you... envy them?Tell Dad the truth"

This time, the golden-haired fat cub calmed down, rested his chin on one hand and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I'm not envious, my dad is better than them all! Besides, moms, either they talk too much, or they don't talk to me at all... Resolute don't want!"

Obviously, even though Archie couldn't speak when Susan left, her insanity during that time and her final determination to never return are all engraved in Archibald's heart. Go to the scars.

Byron apologized in his heart to the innocent female compatriots who were lying on the gun, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief. He thought: "Since Archie does not lack a female parent, why should I bother to try and find..."

In his previous life, when the information was exploding, Byron was unable to find a soul mate who was like him; what's more, now, the ladies he can get in touch with, regardless of their knowledge reserves or hobbies, are really not compatible.

Regardless of the level of vision and refined taste, it is more comfortable for Byron to dig stones with Andy rather than accompany a beautiful woman to study the art of dressing.

But today's letter undoubtedly sounded the alarm for him - in this era, a good feeling that he didn't even think about clearly should never be let go...

Otherwise, the two will not even be friends in the future.

The days are dragging on like this, winter comes again, and spring comes again.

The warden of Shawshank, who hadn’t spoken for a long time, stood on the steps of the office building on a warm spring day and announced to everyone through a loudspeaker: “The roof of the license plate factory needs to be repaired, and the construction team is still in other provinces. I can’t come back in time, I need to pick 12 more people..."

At this time, Byron was still surveying the terrain in the small southern town. The warden, who had no assistant, was too lazy to check the points and arrange the order by himself, and decided to draw lots to select the team with a one-week construction period.

This is a great opportunity to go out and have fun without deducting points. As a prison veteran, how can Reid let it go?

He exchanged six packs of cigarettes for half of the quota from prison guard Yang Borag.No matter how much, the thin-faced officer did not dare to give more, for fear of being caught by Captain Hadley who will come back in two days.

However, these are enough for Rhett's old friends, all of whom are on the list, including Andy.

The author has something to say:

*In June 1948, the Republican candidate, New York Governor Dewey announced that if he was elected

will provide large-scale financial and military assistance to Nanjing

Simultaneously, the Anglo-French-American zones of Berlin are merged (a year later, West Germany, and a few months later, East Germany)

*This article does not mean to belittle any religion, but there is dross in all scriptures, isn't it

Look at it with abandonment, absorb it prudently~

* Michelangelo's sexuality is a historical mystery, here is the need for the plot

In any case, the work is a real gem

Works covered in this chapter: Sistine Chapel Dome Painting & Pieta (Our Lady Lamenting Christ)

*The author is going bald with a foreign name, don't be disgusted!

*When Byron asked Archie for his opinion, he didn't intend to deceive married women!

He just hasn't accepted the fact, wandering around the door of the cabinet...

*See you next week on the classic rooftop hahaha, are you looking forward to it? !

In the movie, there are not many rival scenes between the captain and Andy, this one is just one...

*A little angel asked me when Andy could go out, I think we have to wait

After all, according to the outline, after going out, the remaining plot is only about 10%

Do you really want to push the progress bar so fast?
